Author's note: Thanks to ShesSoNaive, Aurora-16, and charlbo333 for reviewing the prologue. I have a feeling many of you are going to hate me after this chapter, but please remember that it's for a good cause, and please be sure to share your opinion (no, Teddy and Victoire do not break up, if that's what you're wondering.)

Also, I normally write in first person pov because that's what I prefer to write in, but this story is in third person so I can see inside everyone's heads and tell you what they're thinking. :) For those of you who know my stories, feel free to comment at any time during the story to tell me what form of pov you like my writing in best. Thanks. :)

WARNING: This chapter has MENTIONS (meaning, I don't describe it) of teenage drinking and sex. The story is rated T after all. If you don't like, skip the flashback.

Chapter 1: An Unwelcomed Discovery

Sunday, 28 January, 2018

Victoire Weasley took a deep breath as she shakily reached for her wand and held it up to her stomach. Suddenly, Victoire collapsed on her bed and squeezed her eyes shut. "I – I can't do this." She whimpered, her voice barely above a whisper.

"Do you want me to do it?' Jenna Jacobs, one of Victoire's best friends, asked softly.

"No," Victoire sighed, opening her eyes again, "This has to be done, and I have to be the one to do it."

It was true, too. The day before, seventeen-year-old Victoire realized that she had missed her menstrual period. Which, wouldn't be a problem, except for the fact that since she had first gotten it when she was in second year, Victoire had never missed a cycle, until now that was. Panicked, Victoire had told her best friend, Jenna, and not knowing what else to do, the two girls had gone to the library and looked up pregnancy test charms. Now, the two of them were in Victoire's Head Girl dormitory, about to perform the test.

"Okay, so remember," Jenna said softly, "the book said to wave your wand over your stomach and say the charm. Then, colored stripes are supposed to appear at the end of your wand. A single red stripe means that you are not pregnant, but a green one means you are. The number of green stripes indicate how far along you are, with one stripe being equivalent to one week."

"Right," Victoire sighed. She held her wand over her stomach, just as Jenna had told her, and recited the charm. A few seconds later, five bright green stripes appeared on the end of her wand. She gasped in shock and collapsed on her bed again. "It… it can't be." Victoire stammered, on the verge of tears. "Th-there must be something wrong with my wand. Or the charm."

Jenna sat down on the bed and wrapped her arms around her friend. "No, Vic… there's nothing wrong with your wand, and the charm is one-hundred percent accurate."

Victoire didn't reply. Instead, she buried her head in her friend's shoulder and cried. How could this happen to her? She was only seventeen, and Teddy was only nineteen. She was in her seventh year, popular, and was Head Girl. Head Girls didn't get pregnant. Victoire was eager to graduate and start her career, and Teddy - wonderful, sweet, career-and-family driven Teddy - was in the middle of Auror training. The last thing they needed was a baby. But a baby was what they were getting.

"Vic," Jenna begged, "You have to listen to me. When was the last time you and Teddy… you know…"

Victoire hesitated. She and Teddy had only shagged once, over Christmas holiday…

(flashback)

It was the night after Victoire returned from Hogwarts for Christmas, and the first period of time Teddy and Victoire had alone together. The pair of them were at Teddy's grandmother's house. Victoire's family was at their home, Shell Cottage, and Andromeda, Teddy's grandmother, was out visiting her sister, and wouldn't be returning until the next day, so Teddy and Victoire were alone in the house. To celebrate, Teddy had brought several bottles of firewhiskey into his room. After about an hour, it was clear that the couple had had too much to drink, and they quickly were involved in a "snogging match", as Victoire's younger sister, Dominique, would have called it had she seen. Before they knew it, both of their clothes were spread out across the floor, and their snogging had become something more.

The following morning, Victoire awoke in Teddy's bed with a hangover and unclear about how she got there. Both Teddy and Victoire had planned on getting married before they had sex with anyone, but to be honest, Victoire didn't mind, because she had just lost her virginity to the boy she truly loved with all her heart since she was a little girl, and would still love until the end of time.

(end of flashback)

"It was the time for both of us." Victoire explained after finishing her story. "We hadn't actually meant to bring it that far, but it just happened. Who would have ever thought I'd get pregnant from it?"

"Don't worry, Vic." Jenna said soothingly, giving Victoire a hug. "I'm here for you."

"Oh, Jenna, what am I going to do?" Victoire sobbed. "I'm seventeen!"

"Well, I'd start by writing Teddy." Jenna suggested softly.

Victoire's head snapped up. "Jenna, I… I can't do that!"

Jenna sighed. "But you have to. Don't you think Teddy deserves to know? And soon?"

"I suppose you're right." Victoire sighed. "But, wh-what if he leaves me?"

"Vic, I may not know Teddy Lupin as long as you have, but he is one of my best friends, and trust me, the Teddy I know would never do that to you." Jenna said sternly. "C'mon, I'll help you write the letter."

"Thanks, Jenna." Victoire sniffed. "But I think I need some chocolate first."

Jenna laughed. Just like Teddy, Victoire had a chocolate addiction, and it always would cheer the pair of them up, no matter what mood they were in. Checking her watch, she said, "Well, it's time for dinner. Let's go eat, and then I'll help you with Teddy's letter." With that, the girls went downstairs to enjoy a delicious feast that included chocolate chip cookies. After dinner, they wrote to Teddy, and brought the letter to one of the school's owls, since Jenna only owned a cat, and Victoire didn't have any pets at all besides the family owl, which of course, was at home with her parents. As the large barn owl flew out the window with Victoire's letter, she couldn't help but wonder just how Teddy would take the news.

Author's note: I just baked chocolate chip cookies while writing this, and I wanted some, so that's how it got in there. As Aurora-16 knows, I too have a chocolate addiction. :) Anybody want a cyber chocolate chip cookie? :)
