In a few weeks, Jade was set to go to the Quidditch World Cup. Draco had given free tickets to the Weasley family and Harry Potter. Draco was scheduled to arrive hours before the game started and he told Jade to arrive with the Weasley's.
"I don't know if I'll be able to keep Dillon around during the game. He'll scream his little head off from everyone's screaming." Hermione said.
"Well we'll be in the Minister's box wont we?" Jade asked.
"If Ron, Harry and the rest of the Weasley boys around, there will be some kind of yelling, screaming and swearing that's bound to happen." Hermione said.
Jade nodded and suddenly felt her stomach wrench. She felt nauseous and placed a hand on her chest, wondering why she felt so sick, so suddenly.
"Jade? Is something wrong?" Hermione asked seeing her friend lean over and vomit all over the floor. "Jade!" Hermione yelled. Alcaeus ran to the bedroom and saw Jade bending over and wiping her mouth, looking incredibly pale.
"I was feeling funny this morning. My stomach made this weird-forget it." Jade said.
Hermione grabbed some tissues and patted it on Jade's mouth and head. "Does your head hurt? Sometimes when I get a headache, I vomit all over the place." Hermione said.
"My head doesn't hurt. It's just a small stomach problem. I probably ate something bad." Jade said.
"Then I would have been sick as well." Hermione said. Jade shrugged and got up, looking at the mess on the floor. Jade cleaned the vomit from the floor and decided to get ready.
Taking the Portkey to the Quidditch World Cup had for some reason exhausted Jade. She met with Draco for a few seconds and took a long, undisturbed nap in her tent.
"Jade?" Draco asked.
"What? Why?" Jade asked trying to sleep.
"Why are you here? Don't you want to watch the game?" Draco asked.
"I'm so sleepy." Jade said resting her head on his chest.
"How on earth am I going to give you your surprise if you'll sleep through it?" Draco asked.
"You can wake me up when someone wins." Jade said.
Draco pulled her out of bed and gently took her to the stadium, to the Minister's box. "What is it?" Jade asked holding his hand.
"Look up." Draco said pointing to the sky.
Jade looked up to see a message being written across the sky. "Wizarding World's Hero…Jade Harper?!" Jade asked in disbelief. "Me?! That's me!" Jade screamed pointing to the sky. The fans had been quieted down as a man explained everything to the crowd.
"The Quidditch World Cup would like to say thank you to the people who make a difference to the Wizarding World. One story that touched our hearts was a woman who handled her career as an art teacher and also had an organization dedicated to children with disabilities and diseases. She singlehandedly, along with a friend kept this organization alive through their pockets, without the help from anyone else. That is why upon this discovery, we'd like to express our gratitude with a small token of appreciation." The man said.
"Oh goodness Draco, what was the need for this?" Jade asked turning to him.
"You're the hero. Be quiet and smile, they're all staring at you." Draco said pointing up.
Jade saw her face in the sky and she blushed, knowing how embarrassing it was to be mentioned in front of everyone. "We will be funding Jade Harper's organization for children with disabilities and diseases with one million Galleons, to ensure that they will have the most efficient and stable place where they can depend on. Flourish and Blott's will be donating 500,000 Galleons worth of children's books for the children to read. Not only that, Winky's Toy Chest will be supplying Jade an endless supply of toys for the children to play with. We have seen you work hard and knowing that nutrition is a must for children to be healthy and safe, Honeydukes and Notre's Food Palace has signed that they see to it that every single child eats and is properly nourished every single day, for the rest of their lifetimes!"
Jade started to cry long before and now felt that it wouldn't stop. She was so shocked, grateful, happy and deeply touched by the Quidditch World Cup's generosity and the whole Wizarding world's contribution to her children.
"Thank you Miss Jade Harper. On behalf of Jade Harper, the Quidditch World Cup will also be donating another one million Galleons and pounds to the research of both muggle and Wizarding world to the cures of the diseases that threaten to limit the lives of many beautiful children. Donations are welcomed greatly, so please do this for a good cause. Even if it's a Knut, throw it down. It'll probably save a life."
With that, the man stepped down as everyone clapped and congratulated the Hero of the Wizarding World.
Throughout the rest of the game, Jade sat next to Draco, snuggling against him, loving what he did for her and the children she thought were the most important priority in her life. She looked up at him, seeing him intensely follow the Seekers around and keeping track of the Keepers and Chasers. She smiled and let him watch the game as she spoke to the girls.
"I'm extremely hungry." Jade said rubbing her belly.
"How can you be hungry? We just ate a half an hour ago." Ginny said.
"I'm hungry and I want some chocolate…with tuna." Jade said as Ginny made a gagging sound. Hermione furrowed her eyebrows together and stared at Jade.
"Why the sudden craving?" Hermione asked. Jade shrugged.
"I don't know! I usually eat normal things, like ice cream; maybe some whipped cream with crackers and chocolate but never these weird combinations." Jade said.
"When did you say you started throwing up?" Hermione asked.
"Just a week ago…I mean I'm not eating anything weird, not yet." Jade said.
"I doubt you're eating anything weird." Hermione said.
"Then what would it be?" Jade asked.
"You should come back to the tent with me Jade." Hermione said. Jade nodded and told Draco that she'd be back to the tent.
"You're not staying for the rest of the game?" Draco asked. He groaned, standing up and shook his head. "That was a foul! I would cut my bloody ear off if he announces it wasn't!" Draco said.
"We all saw that mate!" Ron said.
"I'm not staying for the rest of the game. I'll see you later." Jade said kissing his cheek. "All right, bye. I love you." Draco replied automatically. He was so busy watching two players fight with the referee, he didn't even know what he said to Jade who had walked away, looking incredibly happy. "Did you say something Jade?" Draco asked looking behind him. He only saw that huge grin on her face and she left without saying anything. Draco shrugged and went back to the game.
"After carefully watching the review, the opposing team had indeed created a foul upon their play. Therefore -150 point penalty to the board." The referee said. Draco and the rest of the men in the room roared in joy and Alcaeus, standing there with both palms against the glass and dressed from top to bottom, representing the Falmouth Falcons. When he saw his father and uncles jumping up and roaring in happiness, he did the same thing, loving how everyone was so happy and his father was so loosened up.
"What's up Hermione?" Jade asked following Hermione into her tent with Draco and Alcaeus.
"It might sound crazy…but, there can be many explanations why you've been sick and tired all these weeks." Hermione said.
Jade wondered what would have been one of the many explanations why she was sick. "Maybe I ate something I wasn't supposed to have. I've been running around the place Hermione, I'm fine." Jade said. Jade went to turn around and leave but Hermione threw a spell at Jade whose abdomen started emitting a blue glow.
"What is this?" Jade asked looking down. She turned towards Hermione who gaped at Jade. "Hermione! What is this?! What's wrong with me?!" Jade asked starting to panic.
"Jade…you…you're p-pregnant!" Hermione shouted.
Jade did not expect this blow. She felt like she was immediately going to fall down and panic but she quickly regained herself. "No…you're lying. This isn't right." Jade said taking her wand out. Jade cast the pregnancy test charm on herself that she learned in her 5th year of Hogwarts. The blue had filled the entire room and Jade dropped her wand and stared at her stomach. "Oh my God." Jade simply said.
Hermione sat in front of Jade and helped her friend cope for a few minutes. "I-I never…a baby. My baby. Draco…Draco and I." Jade said smiling a bit. She suddenly felt disconcerted when she wondered how Draco's reaction was going to be. She didn't know how to tell him and hoped that he wouldn't be angry for their irresponsibility.
"Don't worry about anything Jade. You should be jumping off the walls! You're having your first child with a man you love, who loves you back." Hermione said. Jade ran her hands through her hair and back down to her stomach. "You're ready for a family! You deserve it more than any woman in this world." Hermione said.
"I'm fine about it, but I can't help but feel something terrible will happen if I tell Draco. I'm just so scared of what he's going to think about all this…why do I feel this way?" Jade asked as Hermione tried to clear her misconceptions by telling her it's just nerves.
