Those Hazel Eyes

A.N. : I am sorry that it took such a long time to update! But I have graduated! Yay!

Chapter Twelve: The truth coming out.

I ducked behind a statue of some gorgeous wizard who went to Hogwarts many years ago. He must've done something good, nobody got his statue in this school for nothing. I put my hands on the legs of this good looking statue and looked if Oliver had gone. Yes, I am avoiding him.

'I would it find it very nice if you're hands didn't touch my hips!' the statue said, a little bit angry. 'In my days, we didn't touch statues!' He looked at me with a disgusted look. He must've been gay, this one. I mumbled something that looked like an apology and ran off to the common room of Gryffindor.

I pushed open the portrait of the Fat Lady after saying the password. I took a quick look around the common room, finding Oliver sitting in an arm chair by the window, staring outside. I ducked behind several chairs and sofas. Grabbed a first year and used it as a shield on my way to the girls dormitories.

'Katie'!' yelled the voice of Alicia behind me.

Oliver looked up and saw me standing behind a terrified first year. He stood up and walked towards me. I just completely freaked. I pushed the first year into a sofa and started to run towards the stairs. Once I was at the door, leading to my room I heard Oliver yell. 'You can't avoid me for ever, Katie!'

Of course I knew that. He had managed to pull us out of our beds while other guys, who had tried to come up, an alarm had gone off.

I locked myself up in the bathroom. I heard Alicia come in and she knocked on my door.

'Katherine Bell, if you don't open this door immediately, I'm going to use my wand!'

Sometimes she really reminded me of my mother.

I heard a big bang, and the door of the bathroom flew open.

'You are going to talk to me, right now! I'm getting sick of running behind you! And so does Oliver. He's very worried about you!'

'Nothing to worry about,' I said cheerily, getting up. I tried to pass her, but she blocked my way. I could tickle her, but that would make her even angrier. Use the stupefy spell? Nah, too drastic.

Alicia grabbed my arm and pushed me on her bed. 'You are going to talk to me, right this instant!'

'There's nothing to talk about.' I said giving her my most beautiful smile. 'I feel perfectly fine!' I tried to roll off her bed, but I bumped to an invisible wall.

'Ok, I'll give you something to talk about. How about it's been a month since you've talked to me. A month and a half since you talked to Oliver. And how about the little fact that you haven't been to all your classes, and conveniently, just the classes you have with Oliver?'

I played with my hair and didn't look at Alicia. All that she said was true. But there was just one small reason that explained my behaviour: the fact that I could be pregnant. I blinked a few times. I didn't try to think about it too much.

I looked up at Alicia, she was still standing there, waiting patiently. I told her the whole story.

She nodded when I had finished. 'I thought it was something like that. After that morning in the Great Hall. Anyway, you've bought a pregnancy test?'

I nodded silently. I had sent an owl to my mother. She had just sent me back a muggle pregnancy test. That was about two weeks ago, but I still hadn't the guts to use it.

Alicia looked at her watch. 'It's ten o'clock in the morning. I guess you haven't eaten yet?'

I shook my head.

'Good, you're going to take that test right now.' She stood up and went to my bed.

'What? Right now? Are you insane?' I blurted out.

'Don't you think Oliver is going crazy? He deserves your honesty, Katie! I have never seen him like this before. George bought him a Quidditch magazine and he didn't even touch it!'

Ok, so Oliver must be going crazy. Oliver was so fanatic about Quidditch that he bought every magazine about it.

'He'll leave me, Alicia when I tell him. He's not ready for this and neither am I. I'm seventeen for bloody sake! And there's just also money. Having a child also means having money. I don't have it, Oliver doesn't have it.'

Alicia smiled. She had found the pregnancy test under my pillow and she came back to me. 'Oliver got a letter from Puddlemere United. They've hired him as a professional Keeper.'

The first thing I thought was how come he didn't tell me. But then it was quite obvious why, I hadn't spoken him for over a month. I felt really guilty. It happened in a split second. I grabbed the test out of Alicia's hand and went to the bathroom.

It was late. Everybody had already gone to bed. I was waiting for Oliver, I knew he hadn't been sleeping yet, Fred had told me. I looked out the window. I saw him standing at the Quidditch pitch, with his broom in his hand. I ran back to my dormitory, grabbed my broom and two cloaks and ran outside.

I found him at the goal hoops. He was sitting on the cold ground. I approached him from behind. I stopped when I was standing next to him.

I kneeled next to him and putted one of the cloaks on his shoulders. 'Pretty cold today. I don't want to get a cold.'

He looked up and was surprised to see me. He jumped up on his feet. 'Katie!'

'Were you maybe expecting someone else?' I said with a smile. 'If you are, just tell me and I'll be back to the castle.'

He shook his head. 'No, I'm not. I just didn't feel like going to bed.' He fell silent. He looked at his feet. 'Do you want to talk to me?' He asked slowly.

'Actually, yes. But not right now. I just want to sit a bit.'

He looked disappointed. 'Oh… I'll leave then.'

'Don't be silly! I want to sit with you. I missed you for Merlin's sake!'

He cheered up a bit. We both sat down and I leaned against him. He wrapped his arms around me, I felt a nice warmth growing inside me, filling me with peace.

I don't know how long we just sat in a comfortable silence. The sky was just beautiful. We looked at the falling stars and the wind that was playing with the trees of the Forbidden Forest.

After hours I sat back up. I told him everything. The exact same story that I had told Alicia.

He grabbed my both hands in his and hugged me. I started crying. I felt so ashamed about it, but he pulled me on his lap, hugged me and rocked me gently.

'What a silly thought. I would never leave you, Kates!' He stroked my hair. That even made me cry more.

After I calmed down a bit he looked at me.

'Are you pregnant?'

I nodded. To my great surprise, he smiled happily.

'I'm going to be a daddy?'

I nodded again.

He hugged me so tight, I thought I was going to choke.

'Have you ever thought about the fact that we're going to need money? I don't have a job, and I won't be able to study. I always thought I would be an excellent doctor in St. Mungo's.'

'You'll be a doctor! Don't worry! My grand-mother died last summer, you know that.' I nodded, but I couldn't understand how his dead grand-mother was going to help us. 'She gave me a large amount of gold.'

Now that was certainly going to help.

'We can buy a little house or something. When your parents won't pay for your studies, I'll do it. When our little baby is born, I'm sure my parents will baby-sit. And I signed a contract for Puddlemere United last week. So money is the last thing to worry about!'

I smiled happily. Everything was going to be fine!

'Do you want to be a mother, Katie?'

The question didn't surprise me.

'I never saw myself as a mother. I always thought that the mother instinct wasn't for me. But then I found you and that night we were together, I knew that it would be an honour to carry your child.'

He kissed me intensely. And again, we were together under the same stars.

I think it will be one of the last chapters. One or two more to come! Review!
