Chapter Five: The Feeling.

Carrie walked into her first class the next day. She had Divination and was so exhausted from the walk with Draco the night before. She didn't want to have to read any tea leaves or read some hyper active girls palm. Carrie took a seat at the very back of the room and closed her eyes, waiting for the dull class to start. Carrie felt the table slightly move as someone took the seat next to her. She quickly glanced at who was beside her.

"Ron?" She asked after a moment.

He half smiled. "Hey Carrie."

Carrie swallowed hard. "What's up?" She asked after a moment. Her hands started fidgeting in her lap.

"Nothing, stayed up late finishing potions yesterday"

"Yeah, I was up late too" Carrie mumbled.

"Why?" Rom asked after a moment.

"Oh, I couldn't sleep so I went for a walk with Draco" Carrie replied without thinking. Immediately after she finished talking she regretted what she said. She knew a fight was about to start. Carrie looked at Ron, his face looked disgruntled for a moment and then he seemed to sigh quietly to himself. He looked up and smiled at her.

"Where did go?"

Carrie was baffled. "What do you mean?"

"Where did you go for a walk with…" He paused, looking for the right words. "Him"

"Oh, um, outside, by the lake." Carrie replied. She was still utterly stunned.

"It's nice out there at night." Ron added nodding his head.

Carrie smiled happily. She couldn't hide the instant happiness that Ron had just made her feel. She and he both finally realized that who the baby's father was didn't matter. It was still a baby and it meant something incredible. Carrie's hands wrapped around her stomach. She sat still there for a few moments and then moved closer to Ron and hugged him tightly. Tears soon came to her eyes when she felt his hands wrap around her back and squeeze her tightly. Ron whispered in her ear.

"I missed you Care. I really missed you."

Carrie sobbed into his shoulder.

"Oh Ron" The tears continued to flow out of her eyes.

"Don't" He said in her ear. "Don't cry ok? I'm sorry for…everything, but lets start over ok?"

Carrie pulled back a bit and looked him in the eyes. She nodded and wiped her tears away. She smiled at him and took a deep breath.

"I missed you."

Ron nodded back at her. "I figured"

This made both of them laugh. And with that Professor Trelawney came into the room and started the lesson. That day they would be learned to read Tarot Cards. Carrie moaned quietly and put her head on the table.

"I don't want to be doing this today" She mumbled into her arms.

Ron smirked at her. "Well at least we can have fun with it right?"

Carrie sighed at him and sat up again. "Yeah I guess"

Professor Trelawney came around to the tables, handing out decks of Tarot Cards. When she reached Ron and Carrie's table she stopped and looked at Carrie with concern. Carrie's eyes shifted nervously, after a few minutes of the teacher staring at her people began to look at the two of them.

"Is there something I can help you with?" Carrie finally asked.

"My dear, I see, something."

Carrie rolled her eyes slightly. "Alright…"

Trelawney stood there for another long time, her eyes began to glaze over and her hands started to shake slightly.

"Three moons from now." She began in a raspy voice. "Three moons from now it will begin. A tragedy. A terrible tragedy. She will feel it. And then soon she will not. Great pain will befall on the bearer of a young one. And there will be a great danger of death. No one will be able to see the truth, for it will be hidden deeply in a cloud of mystery. And even when the pain ends, the suffering shall not. Three moons from now. It will begin. It will begin."

Professor Trelawney began to cough and then blinked furiously. The whole class looked at her in shock. She looked at the class puzzled.

"Is something wrong?" She asked.

The whole class just began to talk about what had just happened. Carrie didn't say a word. She was in complete shock, thoughts of what the professor had said running through her head like a wildfire.

The bearer of a young one. The baby. Oh god! What's going to happen to my baby! She thought furiously. Three moons. Three days away. I've got three days. Oh god, what if I loose the baby! What if…no, I can't! I can't!

Carrie was pulled out of her thought by Ron. She had placed his hand on her shoulder and was looking at her nervously. He was barely blinking. She looked up at him, her fear showing in her eyes.

"You think it's about you don't you?" He asked.

Carrie nodded. "Yeah." She paused for a while. "Three days Ron, three days."

"It's ok." He reassured her. "It's going to be ok. We'll, prepare for the…" He didn't want to say it.

Carrie just nodded. She was staring strait ahead and the little flickering flame of the now lit candle on the table. She was taking deep breaths in and out carefully thinking about what would happen. What could happen. She tired to push the thoughts out of her head but they were over flowing her mind. Every time she pushed ten or twenty away there seemed to be a hundred more to think of.

"Oh god." She said after a moment.

"What's wrong?" Rom asked.

Carrie's hand went strait up in the air. She waited for a moment and when Professor Trelawney didn't see her she stood up and quickly said bathroom while running out the door. She quickly jumped down half the steps on the step ladder that lead up to the room. As soon as her feet reached the ground she was running down the long spiral hallway toward the bathroom. When she reached the door she practically ripped it off the hinges and was at the toilets in am instant. She was kneeling down immediately, holding onto the side of the seats. After a few moments she took a deep breath.

"Oh god…" Then she immediately moved her head back down and began to throw up again.

Eventually Carrie sat back up and sat against the wall of the bathroom stall. She took a few deep breaths, tears almost forming in her eyes. I can do this. She thought to herself. I know I can do this. She took a few more deep breaths and then rested her head against the stall. She closed her eyes and savored the feeling of rest. Eventually Carrie pulled herself up and started to walk out of the bathroom but as she reached the door her legs buckled and she fell to the floor.

"Oh my god" She mumbled to herself. "What's happening to me? I've never been so tired in my life"

Carrie slid over to the wall beside the door and rested. She closed her eyes and could feelsleep wanting to envelope her. She could see darkness forming around the edge of her vision and everything started to go black. Everything was almost completely black when she heard the door open. She heard someone's footsteps turn and walk in front of her. Just before she blacked out she saw a girl's shoes and knee's kneel down in front of her.

The next thing Carrie knew she was somewhere comfortable. Somewhere warm and cozy, not wanting to get up or even open her eyes. She heard a rustling noise and then felt someone take a hold of her hand. She felt the ridges of the persons hand, the width and the length of the fingers.

"Draco" She mumbled, fidgeting in her bed.

Draco looked down at her nervously. He walked up closer to her bed, using his free hand to feel the warmth of her cheek.

"I'm here" He whispered to her.

"I know" Carrie mumbled back. "I can feel you" It seemed like she was just dreaming, that what was happening wasn't real.

Draco smiled at her. He could see the innocence in her face, maybe not innocence, peacefulness, he decided. He looked at her happily for a moment before frowning. She collapsed. He thought. Everything's supposed to be alright. But then why hasn't she woken up in three days? Lord… Draco sighed to himself. Mme Pomfrey had said everything was fine, but he just wasn't sure. He kneeled beside her bed and whispered in her ear.

"Care, you have to wake up. Come on Care."

"I don't want to" She groaned. "Let me sleep until tomorrow"

"Come on Care, I think three days of sleeping is enough" Draco fought gently.

Carrie thought about what he said for a moment. Then she immediately sat up in her bed, looking completely afraid.

"THREE DAYS? I'VE BEEN ASLEEP FOR THREE DAYS?" She hollered.

Draco stepped back from her, letting go of her hand. "Yeah…" He said cautiously.

"Oh my god no…" Carrie's hands flew to the sides of her head. "No no no…"

"What? What's wrong?" Draco stepped close to her again. He sat beside her on the bed and took her hand once again.

Tears started to flow out of Carrie's eyes as she told him what had happened. "My teacher, her voice went all funny and…" She sobbed gently. "She predicted that in three days…from three days ago…something would happen to me, to the baby. And we're not going to know what, and even when we think it's over, it won't be." She leaned into Draco's chest, stilling crying gently.

"Oh Care" Draco held her head with one of his arms. "You shouldn't believe in that mumbo jumbo."

Carrie looked up at Draco with her eyes over flowing with tears. "B-but… I don't want to loose the baby…"

Draco looked at her with wide eyes for a moment and then pulled her head into his chest. "Don't even say something like that. Don't you dare." He took a few deep breaths. "You are not going to loose the baby, understand me? You will not loose him/her."

Carrie nodded into his chest. "I'm just so scared. I keep throwing up and…"

"And?" Draco said after a moment. Carrie had stopped speaking. Draco looked down at her and she was speechless, her mouth hanging slightly open.

"Carrie?" Draco said nervously. "Care? Care what's wrong?"

Carrie simply reached for Draco's hand aimlessly. She pushed him away from her gently and got a hold of his hand. She pulled his hand toward her stomach and forced it against her stomach. Draco was still asking her what was wrong but as soon as his hand touched her abdomen his mouth hung open in amazement.

"Care…" Draco said very quietly. "Oh my god…"

"Its not just me right? You can feel it to? I'm not just imagining this?" Carrie asked, complete in awe.

"He's………kicking…" Draco said slowly. "Oh my god…oh my god…" Draco whispered to himself.

He looked at Carrie who was smiling at his expression. He immediately pulled her in close to him, not moving his hand from her stomach. He lifted her chin with his free and kissed her deeply. Carrie kissed him happily, enjoying the feeling of the baby kicking her stomach. Her sad tears had now turned to ones of complete joy. Draco let go of the back of her head taking a deep breath in. He put his hand through his hair, still amazed at what he was feeling, what was happening.

Just then the two of them heard footsteps echoing from the entrance to the Hospital Wing. Dumbledore was heading toward them. He stopped in front of them and waited a moment before speaking.

"Everything is in order?" He asked Carrie.

"Yeah." Draco replied for her, Carrie still couldn't stop smiling.

"Well, Miss Polac, I must speak with you in private for a moment."

Draco held her protectively for a moment until she whispered in her ear that it was ok. Carrie stood and walked out of the Hospital Wing with Dumbledore.

"The room is complete, I trust you want to see it?" He said smiling.

"Mmmm hmmm" Carrie nodded at him.

Dumbledore lead Carrie to the Gryffindor common room. He walked to the back corner behind one of the couches. He touched a flower that was upside down with his index finger and a small handle appeared. He took hold of the handle and pulled the door open.

"Only you, Mr. Malfoy and I can enter this room unless given permission by you or Mr. Malfoy." Dumbledore added as Carrie walked into the room.

When Carrie walked into the room she was shocked at what she saw. The room was painted a deep, royal blue with a golden trim around the floor. There was a changing table in the corner along with a baby crib beside the left wall. There was a child's book shelf in the back right corner filled with children's books. Off to the side of the right wall there was a large cooking stove with cabinets and drawers on each side.

"The cabinets will be filled with anything you need at any given time. The crib will also change with age of the child. There is also a bed that can be pulled out from this wall here." Dumbledore pressed another flower and a bed appeared.

"Thank you so much" Carrie said, still shocked at the room.

"Remember Miss Polac. Keep this room as a secret. If anyone can enter this room it will be very dangerous for the child. Especially if Mr. Malfoy or myself cannot help you." Dumbledore said this very seriously, still there was a strange glint in his eyes as he said it.

"Don't worry Professor, I'll be very careful" Carrie replied.

Carrie ran down the hallway back to the Hospital Wing. When she turned the corner leading there she almost ran right into Draco. She stopped nearly inches away from him. As soon as she stopped running she embraced him tightly. Draco was utterly confused but he held her tightly. Carrie kissed him gently and whispered into his ear.

"I have something amazing to tell you."
