A/N:
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!

Theres a new enemy but who is it? We follow Harry's life as he learns that One night REALLY can change everything in a persons life.
Thanks for all the reviews. They made my day yesterday when I broke my phone at work so now my cute little pink phone doesn't work and I have to pay for a new one.
Anyways now onto our feature presentation. Here's Chapter 45. Enjoy!
Chapter 45 - A Fateful Flight
The days of February slowly turned to the slightly warmer days of March.
For weeks Oliver Wood had been pestering Harry to go for a fly with him for old times sakes.
Harry however knew that there would be a catch to it and they wouldn't be the only two people flying.
"And who else do you want to fly with us?" Harry asked.
"Well I know that Peyton's a good flyer, so her, Madison, Fletcher, Georgia and Natasha. We could just fly around having races and such."
Harry nodded and they set the date for the following week.
The day before they went flying, Harry rounded up the kids and reminded them about it.
After Harry had reminded Peyton and walked away, Cady looked at her questioningly.
"Should you be flying in your state?"
"No one knows. As long as I don't fall off my broom it's fine."
"Yeah but what if you do?"
"I don't know. Stop worrying, I'll be fine."
Cady looked at her and opened her mouth to say something but shut it quickly when she saw Peyton's face.
"You know you're going to start showing soon. What are you going to do then?"
"Wear baggier stuff."
"And when you go into labour?"
"Play dumb. Shut up or people will guess."
Peyton then gagged and ran into the nearest girl's bathroom.
After she had emptied her stomach of anything that she may have eaten, she and Cady went to their last class of the day which was Herbology.
After dinner that night, Ellie, Peyton, Maddy, Zoe, Megan, Marisa, Keeley, Melody, Brooke, Georgia and Tasha met up in the Room of Requirement to plan Fletch's surprise sixteenth birthday party.
"Right so Harmony is going to keep him busy while we're setting up. She'll then bring him here where we'll do the whole 'surprise' thing with his friends and such" Ellie explained.
"What's Harmony going to do with him?" Marisa asked.
"I think she's going to give him a striptease. She was going to tell me but I said I didn't want to know about it. I'm his big sister. I don't need to know how my brother's girlfriend is going to keep my brother occupied even if she is my best friend."
Melody giggled and Keeley rolled her eyes at her imaturity.
"Anyway, Harm's keeping him busy while we set up which will take about two hours. I have a list of who's doing what so we're all organised and know what we're supposed to be doing. Ready? Good. Zoe, you're doing the banners. You hang them where you think they're needed. Megan and Tasha are blowing the balloons up. Peyt and Marisa are going to get the food from the kitchens with Brooke and Georgie. Mel, Keeley and Maddy are going to tell our friends and Fletch's friends and the Quidditch Team. He's on it so they had best be there I suppose."
Everyone was looking at Ellie whilst trying not to laugh.
"What?" she asked.
"You are so much like your Mum. Who would've thought it - Ellie Weasley, prefect, popular, beautiful and organised" Brooke explained.
"Well you try having Hermione Weasley as your mother. I didn't ask to be all of those things."
"Yeah you got all of worst genes in the pool. All the beautiful genes" Tasha said sarcastically.
"Whatever Tash. I got places to be and people to see."
Everyone said their goodbyes and went their seperate ways.
The next afternoon Peyton walked down to the Quidditch Pitch with Cady and Ellie who were going to watch her fly.
Ellie just wanted to be there because she remembered the pensieve and how nice she thought Oliver Wood was as a teenager.
Peyton walked onto the pitch to where everyone else was standing and looked up at Ellie who was in the stands and hadn't taken her eyes off Oliver Wood ever since she saw him on the pitch.
"El, I think you're forgetting that Professor Wood has a long term girlfriend, a daughter and is twenty one years older than you. You've got no hope of him being the father of your unborn baby besides doesn't your baby already have a Dad?" Cady said to Ellie.
Ellie blushed, took her eyes off him and focused on her sister flying.
Down on the pitch, the group were having races and playing games of Quidditch.
At this precise moment they were playing Quidditch and Harry and Peyton were looking for the Snitch.
As they passed each other, they stopped and spoke to each other.
"So there'll be no hard feelings if your old Dad gets it then Peyt?"
"Only if there isn't any on your part if your little Princess get's it."
"None whatsoever. May the best Seeker win then."
"Yeah may the best girl win Dad."
Peyton then laughed and flew off leaving Harry wondering what just happened.
After he realised he smirked and shouted after her.
"Why you little! Two can play at that game!"
He flew off after her.
In the stands, Ellie and Cady were on the edge of their seats.
They were sure that they wouldn't be calm until Peyton was safely on the ground.
"What is she doing?" Ellie screeched at the top of her voice.
"It's not what Peyton's doing, it's more of what's your Dad going to do. Look!" Cady replied.
Ellie looked at Harry, who had just gone into a dive.
Ellie then looked at Peyton and started to whisper to herself whilst clutching her face with her hands.
"Don't follow him Peyt. Please don't do it. He's feinting."
Ellie shut her eyes and dug her nails into the milky white skin on her cheeks.
Cady watched for a moment then tapped Ellie's shoulder to get her attention.
"She's gone after him El."
Ellie uncovered her face which now had red marks, scratches and nail marks on it and looked at her sister who was diving after Harry.
"Stupid cow! She's going to hurt herself!"
They watched as Harry pulled out of the dive but Peyton wasn't showing any signs of pulling out of it whatsoever.
Harry flew away and thought nothing of what he had just done until he heard a scream and a thud.
He looked around and saw his daughter laying lifelessly on the Quidditch Pitch.
Ellie had seen all of this and as soon as she saw Peyton collide with one of the spectator stands she ran as fast as she could onto the pitch.
Everybody else had landed and was standing around Peyton's lifeless form when Harry reached her.
He picked her up and walked quickly towards the castle with Ellie following him.
The whole time that he was walking, Harry made sure that he was constantly talking to Peyton.
"Don't worry Princess. You'll be fine once Madam Pomfrey has sorted you out. Merlin forgive me if anything happens to her. If anything at all happens to her Ginny will have my guts for garters."
After about ten minutes of this, Harry reached the Hospital Wing and Madam Pomfrey ran out of her office.
"What is all this commotion?" she asked.
She then saw Harry holding Peyton .
"What happened Harry? Put her on this bed and tell me what happened."
Harry put Peyton onto the bed and looked at Madam Pomfrey.
"I don't know. I didn't see. Merlin, Gin's gonna kill me if anything happens to her."
"Dad, go and tell Ginny and I'll tell Madam Pomfrey what happened. I saw everything Madam" Ellie said.
"Very well Miss Weasley. Harry go and tell Ginny. You are of no use here whilst you are in this state. You simply are not making any sense."
Harry nodded and walked out of the Hospital Wing.
"Madam Pomfrey, before I tell you anything do you promise not to tell her parents anything that I have told you other than the details of the accident and injuries related to this and this only?" Ellie said sounding very much like her mother.
"Of course. Why?"
"She's pregnant but her parent's don't know."
Madam Pomfrey looked at Ellie completely lost for words.
"Since when Miss Weasley?"
Ellie looked at her sister and shrugged.
"I don't know. She never told me that."
"Elle-Louise it's important that I know. Since when has she been pregnant Elle-Louise?"
Ellie shrugged again.
"Elle-Louise if you know then you should tell me. Without my knowing I won't be able to help her."
"Ok um. I think since the beginning of January. A couple of days after school started again" Ellie said with tears in her eyes.
"Thank you. Now what happened out on the pitch?"
Ellie told the mediwitch what had happened and watched as Madam Pomfrey began to heal Peyton.
"Silly girl. Why was she flying anyway?" Madam Pomfrey muttered to herself.
After she had healed Peyton, she gave Peyton the same potion that Dan had recieved after his accident so that she would become concious.
She stirred and muttered some incoherant words.
"Peyt?" Ellie asked.
"My baby? Is it okay?" Peyton replied in a hoarse voice.
Ellie dissolved into tears and didn't know what to say.
Madam Pomfrey looked at Peyton and sat down on the bed.
"Miss Potter. I am very sorry but your accident. Your fall it -"
"Tell me. I want to know. Is my baby okay?" Peyton asked Madam Pomfrey.
Madam Pomfrey looked at Ellie who was still sobbing.
"When you fell Miss Potter it made you miscarry. I'm so sorry I couldn't do anything to save your baby - you've lost it. Are you okay Peyton?"
Peyton welled up and looked at the mediwitch.
"Of course I'm not okay. I've just had a miscarriage and here you are telling me in a tone of voice that someone would use when they are saying that they have just lost a quill. My baby was not a quill. Just leave me alone."
Madam Pomfrey nodded and walked back into her office.
Ellie wiped her eyes and hugged Peyton.
Peyton looked at Ellie's bump and tears started to slide down her cheeks.
"No offense El, but I just want to be alone right now."
"Yeah sure Peyt" Ellie sniffed.
Ellie stood up and went to walk through the curtains that Madam Pomfrey had drawn for Peyton's privacy.
She turned around and saw her sister sobbing uncontrollably but knew that she couldn't comfort her because she herself had never felt a pain like Peyton was feeling right now.
"I'm here if you need to talk Peyt."
"Thanks El."
Ellie took one last look and walked towards the owlery to owl her mum the news.
