Disclaimer: I had a dream last night that Harry Potter and his friends belonged to me. Sadly I woke up this morning with nothing but a purple, pink and silver bedroom, a pink mobile phone, loads of clothes, all of the Friends episodes on VHS and the Harry Potter books and DVD's so I took that as a there is no way on this earth that I own them!

Hey everyone. I was debating whether to post tonight coz I had 5 hours sleep last night coz my wisdom tooth was hurting me. But coz I'm on the net and I'm bored I decided to do it. Thanks for all the reviews. They mean a lot to me.
Anyways now onto our feature presentation. Here's Chapter 43. Enjoy!
Chapter 43 - Quidditch Again and Lots Of Making Up To Do
A couple of weeks later Peyton was getting ready for her first Quidditch match when Ellie walked into the dormitory. "Peyton. Seriously you aren't going to play are you?" "Yes I am." "But you can't." "Why?" "You're pregnant. If you fall you could lose the baby" Ellie said. "It's not a baby yet. It's an it. And maybe I don't want it. Me getting pregnant was never on my agenda - it was a mistake. It should never have happened." "PEYTON! That's nasty. It's Dan's baby isn't it and you love him don't you? It was made of love wasn't it?" Ellie looked at Peyton. "It is Dan's isn't it?" she asked. "Of course. I wouldn't cheat on him. He's the only guy I've slept with" Peyton said whilst trying not to sound as though she was convinceing herself that tby was Dan's. Ellie looked at her again. "Please just let me play this game. I'm away from most of the action anyway" Peyton lied. "Have you told Dan?" "No, not yet. I'm not sure that he'd take it well." "And Dad and Ginny?" "No, Dad would go mental. He'd kill Dan and I love him too much for that to happen." "Have you worked out a rough due date?" "Yeah it could be October twentieth." "Cool, near Halloween." Or it could be September twenty eighth. I don't know which one it is Peyton thought to herself.
The Quidditch Pitch was so full of colour when Peyton flew out on her Firebolt that she'd borrowed from Harry. She thought to herself as she flew around the pitch looking for the tiny Golden Snitch. Oh my God, what am I going to do? Does my playing Quidditch today mean that I don't want this baby? Of course I don't want this baby - it was a mistake and never should have happened. "Ah but wasn't Ellie's baby a mistake?" her concience seemed to ask her? Shut up! I'm not Ellie am I? Oh Dad is going to kill me when he finds out I'm pregnant. Mum probably won't stop him from killing me either. He'll kill me then he'll kill Dan coz he'll assume it's his and coz I am never telling any of my family that I slept with Nick as well. Ellie would dig me back up and bring me back to life so she could kill me if she found that out. Suddenly Peyton saw the Snitch and she sped off after it.
The Ravenclaw Seeker saw what she was doing and sped off after her. Peyton turned round and saw the other Seeker behind her following closely. Peyton began to think of ways to get rid of the Seeker so she could end the match. Oh Merlin. What do I do? I've got to get rid of this Seeker. I know. I'll do the Wronski Feint. Yeah I could fall and that could make me lose it but do I really care about it at the minute.
Harry was in the stands with Ginny watching Peyton. "Harry. What is she going to do?" Ginny asked. Harry watched what Peyton was doing and debated with himself about whether to tell Ginny Peyton's intentions or not. "Um Gin? You do know that it's my genes that's going to make her do this Quidditch move don't you?" Ginny looked at Harry and paled. "Oh Harry, she's not going to do the Wronski Feint is she?" "Yup. It's all my fault if something happens to her though Gin. You can hurt me if you want if anything happens." "Oh my baby" Ginny said as she buried her head into Harry's robes.
Peyton decided that it was now or never.
She went into a dive and looked behind her to see if the Seeker was still following - he was.
She looked back towards the ground and saw it coming nearer and nearer.
It's now or never. Oh please don't let me crash she thought to herself.
She closed her eyes tightly and pulled the broomstick up out of the dive, she saw the other Seeker fly away and she sped off after the Snitch.
Harry let the breath go that he was holding and looked down at Ginny.
"Okay Gin, she's fine. She's going for the Snitch."
"Really?"
"Yes, look."
Ginny looked up as the stadium cheered very loudly.
"Did she get it?" Ginny asked while tears were staining her face.
"Yup, they're going back to the changing rooms now. Gryffindor won."
Ginny smiled weakly and they made their way back to the castle.
In the changing rooms the team had changed and were now organising the party that would take place in the common room that night.
"Right, Georgie and Fletch, you guys sneak into Hogsmeade and get some Butterbeer from The Three Broomsticks and some sweets from Honeydukes. Georgie I believe you know the way?" Nick said.
"Yeah I do Nick" Peyton's cousin Georgia replied.
"Good, now Tasha you help Melly and Nat decorate the common room."
"Yes Nick."
"And as for our Star Seeker. Peyt you just sit back and enjoy all of the attention. Can I talk to you please?"
Peyton nodded and made her way over to Nick as the rest of the team walked out of the changing room.
"What do you want?" Peyton asked.
"You've not been yourself and you seemed to have been thinking about other things rather than Quidditch lately."
"Yeah, well I've had more important things on my mind lately. More important than Quidditch."
"Like what?"
"Nothing that shouldn't concern you" Peyton replied trying not to let her temper take over.
Peyton started to walk away but Nick grabbed her arm.
"Let go of me."
"No. What do you mean by shouldn't?"
"Nothing. Let go" Peyton pleaded.
"You're not pregnant are you?"
Peyton paled then quickly thought of a reply.
"No. And so what if I was. It wouldn't be yours anyway."
"So, what's wrong?"
Peyton sighed.
"Okay, I had a false alarm and I'm not. I promise I'll think more about Quidditch from now on Captain."
Peyton then turned on her heel and walked out of the changing rooms.
Nick watched her walk out then walked out himself heading straight for the common room.
"Harry. Peyton's just like you used to be when playing Quidditch" Oliver Wood told Harry. "Well she does have my genes you know. But even I must admit that the Feint she did was better than anyone that I ever did."
"So why didn't you play professionally? Most teams would have loved to have had Harry Potter playing for them."
"Coz I didn't want to be famous anymore. I wanted a normal life. Changed my name and everything, I became James Evans and for once in my life felt normal. I put Harry Potter behind me for a year. I would've stayed in Blackpool if Ginny hadn't owled me. Then when I came back I became an Auror - the Ministry couldn't wait to snap me up. I didn't even need to train. I was an Auror until October when I realised that my real job was to be with the girls and Ginny. It got to a point where Ellie wouldn't talk to me, when the twins and Ginny were in floods of tears and begging me not to go when I went on missions. I also realised that I didn't know the twins coz I had missed so much of their lives. But lets get off that subject, how's Tonks?"
"She's fine. She would have come today but Cassie-J has a cold and Tonks said that she wasn't going to give her daughter Pepper-Up Potion."
"Her daughter?" Harry asked.
"Yeah, we had an argument about it. But she should be fine now. I have a lot of making up to do when I get home."
"Yeah you do. How are you going to do it?" Harry asked warily.
"Well I was thinking go into the house with some flowers and dinner. We'd eat first then I'll sweep her off her feet and carry her to the bedroom where I'll let her do anything that she wants to me after I do anything she wants to her."
"Okay then. If I fell out with Gin I wouldn't be able to do that. I'd be doomed."
"Why?"
"She's put a ban on sex while she's pregnant. It's killing me coz when I see her in the mornings after she's gotten out of bed, I really want to have her there and then. She's so beautiful even with her bump but she says no because she doesn't want to hurt the baby. Even though it doesn't."
"Okay. Well I'd best be going to make up with Tonks otherwise she'll be too exhausted."
Harry laughed.
You see that little button down there. Well it's lifelong wish is to be pushed. You know you want to make the button happy. So grant it it's wish and push it to leave a review! DUN DUN DUUUUUUN!
