Hogwartsbunny - Thanks for reading and reviewing. I loved writing Ben's character because he seemed to get worse and worse each time I wrote something. He does eventually get his just desserts though. I'm glad you liked the chapter.

Anyways now onto our feature presentation. Here's Chapter Nine. All I ask of you is to enjoy and to please leave a review at the end.

Chapter Nine – I'm Failing

Just as Maddy was finishing her phone call, Peyton reappeared and asked if she could talk to Ginny quickly. Maddy nodded the said good bye to her mother and handed the phone to Peyton. Peyton sighed then put the phone to her ear and began to speak.

"Hi mum."

"Hello dear," Ginny replied.

It was obvious that Ginny was away with the fairies at that present time so Peyton decided that it wasn't really worth telling her mother that she was failing Uni over the phone because she wasn't really listening to whatever she said.

"Can I pop over?" Peyton asked.

"Of course you can. When?"

"Now? Well in about ten minutes," Peyton replied knowing full well that she would have to change her outfit first.

"Okay then, but it's just me here. Your fathers taken the children to Ron and Hermione's," Ginny told her.

Peyton said that it was okay before saying her good byes and hanging up. She then went into her bedroom and changed into a pink velour tracksuit and wore a white tank top underneath the jacket. She then put on a pair of white Reebok trainers and quickly tied the laces. She then walked back into the front room and picked up her bag before walking out of the front door. Once the door was shut, Peyton apparated into the kitchen of Grimmauld Place. She saw Ginny sitting at the kitchen table when she arrived. Ginny looked up from the latest issue of Witch Weekly and smiled at her daughter. Peyton sat down and looked at her mother then sighed.

"What's wrong?" Ginny asked.

Peyton thought that there was no point in telling Ginny that there was nothing wrong because she would be able to tell that Peyton was lying. Peyton sighed again and started to twiddle her thumbs.

"I'm failing Uni," Peyton told Ginny.

Ginny grabbed hold of Peyton's hand and looked at her.

"Can you get help so that you pass?" Ginny asked.

"Yeah. I'm getting tutoring to help me pass. Why aren't you angry?" Peyton replied.

"There's no use in getting angry because you're trying to fix it. I'm not sure dad will see it that way though. You do realise that I'm going to have to tell him don't you?"

Peyton nodded and stood up, as she didn't really want to stay there for much longer. She quickly searched her brain for an excuse and looked at Ginny.

"I'd best be getting back. I have homework to do," Peyton said as she grabbed her bag.

Ginny nodded and got up herself. She hugged and kissed Peyton then watched her daughter apparate back to her apartment in Oxford.

Once she was back inside the apartment, Peyton saw that Harry was sat on the sofa obviously waiting for her. She sighed and tried to walk past without him realising that she was home. As she walked past he chuckled to himself.

"Did you think that I wouldn't notice? Anyone would notice you wearing that. You look like a marshmallow peep!" he called out to her.

Peyton turned round and looked down at the floor.

"What do you want?" she asked.

"Your mother told me what you told her as soon as you left. She flooed me and I came straight here," Harry replied.

Peyton scowled and thought that her mother could have at least given her a few hours before she told Harry.

"Did she tell you that I'm getting help?"

"Yes but it is still unacceptable! What is wrong with you? You had top grades in school!"

Peyton sighed then said, "You always bring that up. I'm not the same person anymore. I'm not the brainy child anymore."

This seemed to infuriate Harry and she stood up then started to shout at her.

"YOU CAN'T DECIDE WHEN YOU WANT TO BE INTELLIGENT! YOU ARE NOT THE TWIN THAT FAILS! THAT'S MADDY'S JOB! THE ONLY TIME YOU WERE LIKE THIS WAS… Oh dear god. Are you pregnant again?"

"NO! I AM NOT PREGNANT! ALTHOUGH I SHOULD BE! I SHOULD BE PREGNANT BY NOW AND I'M NOT!" Peyton shouted back.

Harry's facial expression changed from slightly annoyed to very angry. He didn't like what Peyton was telling him at all.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN?" he shouted at her.

"WELL DADDY YOU SHOULD KNOW WHAT TRYING TO GET PREGNANT INVOLVES! THAT'S RIGHT YOU DEAR DARLING LITTLE PRINCESS HAS BEEN HAVING UNPROTECTED SEX SHE MOVED HERE!"

Harry shook his head and sat back down on the sofa. In the bedroom, Maddy was sat on her bed while listening to the argument in the front room. So far she had learnt that Peyton had been trying to get pregnant since September but she also knew that Ben thought she'd been using the contraception charm. Once everything had gone quiet, she got up and walked out of her bedroom and into the front room. Maddy looked at Harry who was sat on the black leather sofa pinching the top of his nose while Peyton was pacing up and down the rooms length. No longer were they the caring sharing father and daughter they used to be, no, now they were like enemies. She sighed and wondered what to do.

"What is going on in here?" she asked.

Harry looked up and smiled weakly at Maddy.

"I'm having a discussion with your sister. Did you know that she hasn't been using the charm when she sleeps with Ben?" Harry replied.

"She told me last week that they were trying for a baby. I didn't know that she hadn't been using it since September. Dad she's getting help with Uni so please leave her alone and if she gets pregnant then so be it. I'm sure mum will be wanting you back home and I think Peyton needs to go and tell Ben about the charm," Maddy told them both.

Harry nodded and looked at Peyton.

"I do not want my grandchild's father to be Ben. You know how I feel about him. If you must have a baby then have it with someone who is not Ben," he told her.

Peyton nodded but knew that whatever Harry and Maddy said would never sink in because she didn't plan on leaving Ben. She was too scared too in case he hit her again. Her father would have to deal with Ben being her child's father whenever it happened. Both her and Maddy said their goodbyes to Harry as he walked out of the apartment. Once he was gone Maddy returned to her bedroom and Peyton walked to her bedroom to talk to Ben. When she shut the door Ben turned off the music he was listening to the looked at her and smiled.

"Ben I've got something to tell you," she told him quietly.

Ben motioned for her to continue and she looked at him feeling rather guilty at the fact that she had kept this secret from him for so long. Peyton had absolutely no idea that Ben didn't want a baby with her at all.

"I think there's something wrong with my body. I haven't been using the charm since September because I wanted to get pregnant but it hasn't happened yet," she told him.

Ben stopped smiling and his facial expression turned into anger.

"You kept it from me? We've been having unprotected sex since September and you never told me? And worse still you're not even pregnant? Well that's just typical. Trust you to not be able to do the one thing that women were put on this planet to do," Ben replied angrily.

"I'm sorry. Maybe it's something to do with the crash that I had when I was fourteen. Maybe that did something," Peyton said, as she looked down at the floor feeling rather ashamed.

Ben looked at her then said, "Peyton we know that it won't be from the crash. If anything it will be because you slept with your sister's boyfriend. Maybe if you had been able to keep your legs shut then we might be able to have a baby!"

This made Peyton feel even more ashamed with herself and she began to cry silently. But she didn't know that Ben didn't want her to get pregnant anyway and this news was like a godsend to him. Peyton looked up at him and sighed.

"I'm making an appointment with the family planning clinic. I need to know what's wrong."

Ben nodded and watched as she walked out of the bedroom. Peyton quickly phoned the local family planning clinic and made and appointment for the last week in January. Once Peyton had hung up the phone she went back into the bedroom.

"Twenty fifth January at three in the afternoon. I want you there too," she told Ben.

Ben nodded and wrote it down on a piece of paper although he wasn't planning on going to the appointment at all.
