Chapter 17, sorry it's taken so long to update.
"Alex, calm down. This is not the place to discuss this." Severus said, glaring at any student who stopped to stare at them.
"Come with me." Alex said in a short tone. She grabbed him by the arm and walked towards their chambers. Once inside, behind a closed door Alex spoke again. "You got a letter from Durmstrang?"
"Yes, but obviously I didn't go."
"Really? I didn't notice that…" She replied sarcastically. "Sorry… so this means that they have the name Snape down for students… Marcus would have gotten a letter from Durmstrang."
"Yes, but he would have gotten one from Hogwarts as well since we both went here… honestly Alex, just calm down."
"Severus… I… I don't feel well." Alex said, tears in her eyes.
"Alex…?" Before Severus could help her to a chair she collapsed, falling into his arms. "Alex?" He asked, laying her gently on the floor.
When she didn't wake up he rushed to the fireplace and summoned two house elves. One was sent to the hospital wing and the other to get Dumbledore.
Madam Pomfrey arrived followed shortly by Dumbledore and Minerva.
"Severus, could you move her to the sofa please?" Madam Pomfrey asked curtly. Severus nodded and easily pulled her into his arms then carried her to the sofa in the middle of the living room.
"What happened?" Dumbledore asked, moving Severus away so that Madam Pomfrey could examine Alex.
"She had gotten upset and I had just gotten her to calm down when she said she didn't feel well. Then she just collapsed." Severus said, obviously upset but still trying to hide his emotions.
"Sev…?" He heard Alex say softly, her eyes fluttered open.
"Alex, are you all right?" He asked rushing to her.
"Yeah… I'm probably just hungry. I skipped breakfast and I didn't make it to lunch obviously."
"Well there will be no more skipping meals for you, not with a little one on the way." Madam Pomfrey said very matter of fact.
"What?" Alex asked wide-eyed.
"You're pregnant dear." She smiled at Alex.
Alex and Severus exchanged speechless expressions.
"Well." Dumbledore said, breaking the silence. "I believe that congratulations are in order." He said with a bright smile.
