"Wow so either you kill Voldemort, or he'll kill you?" Amanda asked as Ron and Hermione jumped a little at the sound of Voldemort's name.

"Pretty much."

"You say it so casually, aren't you scared?" Amanda asked as she saw Hermione roll her eyes, expecting Amanda to go on again about how brave he was.

"Well excuse me for finding murder a big deal, then again I guess you've never seen both your parents dead in front of you!"

"Sorry, I just thou…"

"Thought that I'm a stupid bimbo, well I'm not!" Amanda shouted as she drew her wand and quickly pointed it at Hermione, who instantly grew a huge pimple on her chin.

Amanda turned around swiftly, "see you at dinner," and with that said, she left.

Amanda decided to go to the kitchens to see little Bradley, who was fast asleep in his cot when she arrived. Amanda could remember when she first found out she was pregnant; her first instinct was to tell Draco, until she gave the issue greater thought. She realized it would be dangerous not only for Draco, but also dangerous for her unborn child, which would most likely inherit the powers of both its parents. A child with great powers and no idea about good and evil could easily be created into a monster. It is rare for a person to have two gifts, imagine how valuable a child would be which will have three gifts, which is unheard of, especially when having a single gift is rare.

Telling her parents she was pregnant was the hardest thing she had ever done, she was terrified of their reaction. At first they were furious, 'how she could be so careless' Amanda overheard one night, 'who do you reckon the father is?" It made her parents very annoyed every time she refused to tell them whom the father was so the naturally assumed it was someone at school, considering that's where she was a few months ago. That is what they thought, but truth be told it actually it isn't very hard to leave the grounds of Dumstrung, a few simple hexes then all you have to do is conjure a portkey, to use to get to Hogsmeade. Where she could visit Draco and spend time with him, she could even shop with him, )not that they did a lot of talking in these secret meetings) because everybody would just assume she was a local. She saw him pretty much every fortnight.

Her father wanted to destroy the child before it was born, as he believed it would destroy his precious daughters life, but her mother suggested that she could carry the baby and they could all pretend it was hers.

Amanda felt hollow, as if all her guilt for not telling Draco that had a son was eating away at her insides. Everyday that went past made the thought of telling him even harder, everyday Bradley grew older the harder it would be for Draco to accept the fact. Amanda knew Bradley was safe here, so why not tell Draco? Amanda had always used the excuse it was to dangerous for them both, but now they were at Hogwarts that danger had passed for know, Amanda was desperately trying to find excuses so she could keep her family secret concealed.

Amanda sat on one of the chairs and continued thinking till she fell asleep.

"Draco I have something to tell you."

"Can't it wait?" Draco asked as he kissed her neck.

"No it is pretty important, I think we should talk about this, we need to talk!"

"I don't like the sound of that," Draco stated as he stopped kissing her.

"Last year I found out I was pregnant, and we have a son, his name is Bradley."

"We don't have a son, we can't have a son, I would have know, anyway you never looked pregnant and I would have defiantly know."

"The point is we have a beautiful baby boy who is already a few months old and I'm real sorry I didn't tell you about him sooner, but I couldn't."

"Well I don't believe you," he told her as he turned to walk away.

"Draco wait," Amanda pleaded and grabbed his muscular arms.

"Let go of me you liar, and never talk to me again." With that Draco walked of leaving Amanda crying on the ground.

Amanda awoke and wiped her tears off her cheek, it was only a dream. Amanda knew Draco would never leave her like that, but the dream still stayed in her mind. Amanda walked over to check on Bradley, who was now awake. His silvery eyes glistened with the light from the lamp next to his cot.

"Hey Bradley," Amanda greeted him with a big smile on her face. Amanda never imagined her life was going to turn out like this, she always thought she would a have a normal life, well apart from having healing hands. She knew she was going to be special when she stared at Dumstrung at the age of six. At Dumstrung the have a special program for young children with special abilities or rich parents, of course Amanda's family told very few people about their daughters 'special' ability, so Amanda only got in because her parents brought her a place. Starting school five years prior to the other students gives you a great advantage over the other students, it also gives you a better chance of getting into classes with a more difficult curriculum, for example animal telepathy or advance healing. The early learners program was the main reason Amanda achieved such excellent OWL results, but she wasn't about to tell anybody that, especially Hermione. It is also handy having high-powered protective jinxes around your house, because the ministry cannot detect underage magic, when it is performed.

Amanda lent over and picked baby Brad up, making sure to support his delicate head. His tiny hand brushed against her hand, Amanda jumped a little as she felt a small electric jolt.

"Yeah, that runs in the family," Amanda told him casually, she wasn't worried about getting hurt, as he was only a baby and his healing powers were not very developed yet.

Amanda told the little baby cradled in her wild stories of her adventures, though she edited them so they were appropriate, she told his stories about his father and both sets of his grand parents. After the story telling Amanda headed to the Great Hall, to eat.

Where do you sit when you're not talking to people? Other side of the room of course! And what's opposite the Gryffindor table? Amanda had better watch out as healing powers develop very fast. When will she tell Draco? And no Sim, he won't "Knock her up AGAIN!"
