Chapter 8
Sam sighed. She really didn't want to deal with this right now. "Fine. Let's go." She grumbled. Riley nodded "Fine." She shrugged Draco's arm off her shoulder and stood up. "Let me know what happens." He said. "I'd like to know if I'm going to be fathering an illegitimate child or not." Riley shot him a dirty look.
"Off you two go then." He waved a hand towards the door. The walk to the Hospital seemed to take forever and what little conversation between the girls there was, was strained. Madam Pomfrey looked up at their entrance. "What seems to be the matter?" She asked, eyeing them up. She didn't see any physical damage.
"Well, we think she's pregnant but we're not sure." Riley said quickly and pushed Sam forwards. "I'm quite sure I'm not." She said. Madam Pomfrey looked at them both sharply. "Very well." She said through pursed lips. "Come in here."
She swept open a curtain and motioned for Sam to go in. Sam glowered at them both before walking in. "Wait here. You'll be next." Madam Pomfrey said and then closed the curtain behind them. Riley plunked down on a vacant bed to wait.
Sam came out from behind the curtain and beamed. "Clear" she said. "No kids for me for a looong time!" Riley then became frightened. Sam did have a point, it could very well be her. Riley sighed as the curtains closed around her. She lifted up her shirt to show Madam Pomfrey her stomach and Madam Pomfrey ran her wand over it making Riley a bit squeamish.
Riley emerged from the curtains the same way that Sam did, bright and cheery and not pregnant! "Friggen Diggen eh?" Sam said as she saw her friend's' reaction. "Man I wuv joo" Riley said as they skipped towards the common room. "Awww that touches me!" Sam replied while pretending to sniff away tears.
Riley and Sam grinned wickedly at each other as they saw Blaise and Draco sitting on the couch. "Well, we're not pregnant, but we're afraid you might be" Sam said while the two girls approached them. "Impossible" Blaise said. "We're guys. It can't happen." "Oh but there has been a new discovery" Riley said. "It is now possible for the male to get pregnant." Draco and Blaise exchanged glances and quickly headed up to their dormitory.
"We'll see you two later" Draco said while walking up the stairs. As the boys were walking up they could've sworn they heard Blaise say "Maybe we can jack this thing out of us" which made the girls burst into laughter.
"Do you think they know we were kidding?" Riley asked. Sam smiled broadly "I don't think. Imagine how they'd look pregnant." They both dissolved into giggles at the mental pictures. "Ahh...honestly though. Aren't you relieved?" Sam asked. "Oh god yes." Riley said. "I can barely look after myself. I don't think I could manage a kid."
"I couldn't deal with the fatness." "Or the poop." "Ewww! Yes or the poop!" Riley had told Sam before about how when women are pregnant they poop themselves from all the pushing. "You know." Sam said thoughtfully "It would suck for whoever had to clean up the shit." "Blaah! I'd die." "Friggin' right." Riley stretched and lay on the sofa.
Sam stifled a yawn and plopped down on the other end. "Maybe we should go to bed." Riley said. Her eyes were half closed. "Ughh. The stairs are too high." Sam groaned. "We could have a nap though." "But then we wouldn't be able to wake up." "Ah well it's a Saturday tomorrow."
Sam buried her face in the arm of the coach and hugged a pillow. "Night night." "mmph." Riley sighed and kicked Sam in the butt. "Stop hogging all the room." "Rileeey. Don't move." Sam whined.
Riley reached and poked her in the side. Sam let out a squeak and jumped away from her. "Thanks." Riley smiled and shifted so that she took up the space Sam left. "Jerk." Sam grumbled.
The boys came downstairs at about 3 in the morning, attempting to sneak out to the kitchens. They had finally figured out that the girls were joking and when they saw the girls and figured this would be a perfect time for revenge.
They levitated the girls to the room of requirement which they had turned into a dark room with clowns. The two boys had learned from reading the girls' diaries during their free class that Sam was scared of the dark and Riley was scared of clowns. Sad, but very true.
They had set them on a couch they had conjured up. The room itself was very dark, but spotlights were shone on all of the clown items that were around. The two boys decided to leave since they didn't want to get yelled at, and as much as they wanted to see the girls' reactions, they thought it would be best if they were alone. It would give it all that more effect.
The girls started to stir in their sleep and slowly opened their eyes to the horrors that awaited them.
Riley was the first to wake up. She let out a terrified scream when she saw the clowns. Sam woke up with a startled snort "Whaassamatter?" She mumbled. "THE CLOWNS! THEY'RE EVERYWHERE!" Riley wailed.
"Why is it so dark!" Sam demanded. "I can't see anything! RILEY!" "The clowns! The clowns!" Riley cried. She was huddled up on the coach and rocking back and forth. "Why are there so many clowns?" Sam searched blindly for her wand to make some light. "WHERE IS IT!" She screamed, searching her pockets. She couldn't find it. She was on the verge of tears.
"I need to get out!" She said, clutching Riley's arm. Riley didn't say anything and her eyes were wide with terror. Sams eyes were becoming accustomed to the dark light and she thought she saw a door. "Come on." She whispered, dragging Riley up from the coach with her.
Riley whimpered as a Clown mask fell at her feet. Sam reached for the handle and flung the door open. Bright sunlight and a clown free hall greeted them. They slammed the door shut behind them and collapsed on the floor. "Well that sucked." Sam muttered. Riley couldn't find any words to describe the horror.
Thank god today was Saturday and there were no classes. They somehow managed to get back to their common room and they both collapsed on the couch, both of them still on the verge of tears. "Think happy thoughts" Sam said. That perked Riley up. "Clap if you believe!" she said as Sam just raised an eyebrow. "Tinkerbell, hello."
Blaise and Draco made their way down the stairs sleepily but they smirked smugly at each other when they saw both girls sitting on the couch. "So how did you girls sleep?" Draco asked them. Riley opened her mouth to answer truthfully until Sam said "Just fine. Are you both preggers?"
They both looked at her and then realized what she meant. "Haha very funny. We knew you were kidding, we just wanted you to think we were seriously scared" Blaise said while crashing on a chair. All was silent for a few minutes until Draco sat down next to Riley.
"You didn't mean what you said last night about there being no 'us', did you?" Riley sighed and rolled her eyes. "What do you think?"
"That you were obviously too worried about being pregnant to know what you were saying." Draco replied promptly. "Well somebody has an ego." Sam snorted. Draco ignored her and looked at Riley. "Well?" Riley blushed. Why does he have to stare? She thought. Just look away. Ignore it. Don't lose yourself in his oh so beautiful mesmerizing grey eyes. Damnit too late!
"I'll think about it." She said. Draco's jaw dropped. Blaise laughed. "Not everyone is madly in love with you mate. As much as you would like to believe it." "That's it? You'll think about it?" Draco asked and Riley nodded. "Take it or leave it." Draco muttered something under his breath. "Fine!" He scowled.
"Excellent. Glad that's settled." Sam grinned. Riley stifled a yawn and looked at the clock on the mantle. "Oh my god. It's 8:00! Sam you're up before 11:00 on a Saturday!" She cried. "Well so I am." Sam said, "Sad but true. So what do you usually do in the morning on a Saturday?" "Eat breakfast." Blaise said.
"Mmm pancakes." Riley was now practically drooling. "I haven't eaten since supper." "Heaven forbid." Sam rolled her eyes. "Let's go eat then." Draco said, standing up.
Riley shoved another syrup covered pancake in her mouth while reaching for another. "I can't wait until the day that you become fat" Sam said as she nibbled on a piece of bacon. "Why?" Riley asked while deciding it was easier to just load her plate full of the fluffy pancakes. Sam sighed and rolled her eyes. "Never mind" she muttered.
"Man I just had this uncontrollable urge to listen to The Spice Girls" Riley told Sam who nodded in agreement. "Let's go hook up that muggle thing now!" Sam exclaimed while pulling her friend away from the pancakes. "But my pancakes!" Riley said while trying to get another forkful in and being followed by Blaise and Draco.
"Must they always follow us?" Riley asked Sam who were ahead of both boys by about 10 feet. "Well what do you expect? Draco does like you and wants you in the sack" Sam grinned. "I can't believe you haven't bothered jumping him either" Sam added while they walked into the common room.
"Well you wouldn't either if you felt bad about how Theodore found out that I kissed Draco while I was still with him." Sam shrugged. "Man just go for him. Afterall, he is known to be quite good in the sack" Sam said winking at Riley. "That is if you don't remember New Years Eve."
"Well obviously not seeing as I was drunk." Riley said. Sam nodded. "Good point." She said. "But he seems to remember. I never knew you were such an animal!" Riley snorted "Uh Yeah. I'm just a wild sex beast. Rawr."
They stopped at the common room entrance and gave the password. "So are you gonna answer him?" Sam asked. "No not yet. I'm gonna let him wait." Riley grinned. "You're so mean!" Sam said. Riley shrugged "Well so is he. It's like fate!" "Mhmm." They walked into their deserted dorm, leaving the boys in the common room.
Sam plopped down on the bed and Riley searched for her radio. "Ah! Here it is." She said triumphantly pulling it out from under a pile of clothing. She plunked the radio down in front of her and began fiddling with the switches.
"Welcome to the Wireless Wizarding networks Muggle Music Hour!" The host said. "To begin we have that popular muggle band 'The Spice Girls' singing 'Wannabe'..Stay tuned folks we've got a lot coming up here on The Muggle Music Hour."
Sam turned the volume up and the song blared through the room. They both started dancing like maniacs and singing to the song. They had all the lyrics memorized. One day when they were both bored and listening to the radio they had heard the band and immediately fell in love.
They decided that there wasn't enough room in their dormitory to dance so they went to the common room where they could dance to it. "Mmmmbop!" Sam sang out loudly as the band Hanson played their new song. They both twirled and swirled around the room until Riley twirled right into Theodore and they both toppled over.
"Sorry" Riley said turning a deep shade of red. "It's ok" he said while helping her out. Sam was decorating Blaise with the left over tinsel from their Christmas festivities. "Blaise hold still! I need to get this right!" Sam exclaimed while trying to hold Blaise still who was struggling with the tinsel.
Draco was staring at Theodore and Riley. "So how have you been?" Riley asked Theodore whose eyes looked distant. "Ok, I've missed you though. How about yourself?" Riley looked to the floor and then back up to Theodore's eyes. "Well, you know, it's been really hard. But I do have Sam to help me get through it." Riley looked over Theodore's shoulder and saw Draco glaring daggers in the back of Theodore's head.
"Can we talk later?" Theodore asked and Riley nodded. He bent down and kissed Riley's cheek and walked away. Blaise, Sam and Draco all walked over to Riley who was holding her cheek. "What was that all about?" Sam asked. "I don't know" Riley answered in a daze.
"Probably nothing important. It is only Theodore after all." Draco sneered, standing behind Riley and draping an arm over her shoulder. "Hey!" She said. "Did I tell you my decision yet!" Riley pushed Draco's arm off her and walked up the dormitory steps.
Sam rolled her eyes. "Real Smooth." She said, slapping Draco on the shoulder. She followed Riley up to their dorm. "What did I do!" Draco demanded, turning to Blaise. Blaise shrugged "I don't understand those women anymore than you do." He said.
"Riley?" Sam asked softly, popping her head in the door. Riley sat on her bed clutching a pillow and looking very depressed. "What am I gonna do?" She asked. "I don't know. Run away and join the circus?" Sam suggested. She sat down next to Riley on the bed. "Or you could always ask them if they wanted do a threesome type thing."
Riley smiled slightly and elbowed Sam in the side "Hey! I'm being serious for once." "I know." Sam sighed. "I'm just not good with serious situations. Just pick whichever one you want. It's really not that hard a decision." "Yes it is!" Riley wailed.
Sam shook her head. "Well you're just gonna have to choose on your own." She said. "Ughh. I don't want to." Riley groaned. "Stop being such a baby." Sam scoffed, taking the pillow and whacking her on the head with it. "Hey!" Riley cried, clutching her hair. "I worked hard on that!"
Riley sighed for a moment and stared out of the window. "I think I'm going to go for Draco…" she said. Sam smiled slightly. "And why are you choosing him?" she asked. Riley thought to herself for a moment. "Well, you saw him, he is protective, and good looking, and he can be nice, and he definitely is a good kisser" Riley grinned. "Plus he was the one I wanted from the start…I should be happy right?"
Sam nodded and smiled. "Ready to go downstairs?" Riley nodded as they headed down the stairs to the sound of the muggle band called Aqua. "Barbie Girl" was playing and Draco and Blaise were both sitting by a fire place, turned away from the stair cases. Blaise turned for a moment and saw them both heading over towards them, but Sam motioned for him to follow her so he reluctantly got up and followed Sam, leaving Draco and Riley alone in the room.
She slowly walked over and stood behind his chair and saw that he was staring straight into the fire. She put her hands over Draco's eyes as he tried to turn to find out who was doing it. She walked in front of him, his eyes still covered and she sat down on the arm of the chair.
She took her hands off of his eyes and his smirked when he saw her. "I figured it was you" he said. Riley nodded and all she said was "Yes." Draco looked at her for a moment. "What do you mean?" Riley rolled her eyes, leaned down and kissed him. After he pulled away he said "I'll take that as a yes then."
"Awwww! They're so cute!" Sam gushed, watching Draco and Riley. They both were slightly flushed and grinning like crazy. "Yes. Absolutely adorable." Blaise snorted from beside her. Sam elbowed him hard in the side. "Where's your sense of romance!" She demanded. "It probably left me after you punctured a lung." He grumbled and rubbed his side.
"Aww Baby." "Sweet heart." "Shut up that's not what I meant." "Well that hurts." "As much as another punch would?" "Point taken." They both walked over to the fire beside Riley & Draco. Sam giggled at the looks on their faces.
"Riley and Draco sitting in a tree." She sang, hopping around their chairs. "K-I-S-S-I-N-G!" Draco glared at her "What are you going on about?" "Sam shut up!" Riley said, chucking a pillow at her. Sam neatly ducked the pillow.
"Ohh ish Riwey embawassed?" Sam cooed, using a baby voice. "She doesh not want evweyone to know she ish in wuv wif Draco." Riley turned bright red. "SHUT UP!" She cried. Sam laughed and plopped down on the arm of her chair. "I'm sorry Riley." She said, patting her on the head.
"I'm sorry you're so in love with Draco that right now all you can think about it shagging him senseless." "SAM!" Riley let out a squeak of frustration and pushed Sam, sending her toppling to the floor. "Now that was just plain mean." Sam pouted.
"You deserved it" Riley said chuckling at her actions. "Man we haven't done something wild and crazy for like so long!" Sam exclaimed while getting up from the ground and wiping the dirt from her clothes. "I know, it's been ages!" Riley said while jumping to her feet.
"Hmm, let's find something wild and crazy to do" Sam said while stroking her chin. "Hmm, how about streaking? Or putting a strip show on in the common room?" Riley pondered out loud.
She saw Draco, Blaise and Sam staring at her and then said "Did I say that out loud?" They all nodded and grinned. "Riley, that is a brilliant idea!" Sam exclaimed. "Yeh, and I know I'd enjoy it" Draco said while smirking. Riley looked around at all three of them and shook her head violently.
"No way! I am not streaking or stripping!" She then turned to Draco who was about to say something. "And no, I don't care if you'll enjoy it. It is NOT happening!" Sam then turned to the Wizarding Wireless Networks to another muggle channel that was playing a dance beat. "Come on" Sam said while dancing to the beat. "You know you want to!"
