Chapter Eleven – The Accident

Back in Oxford, Peyton was watching television in the front room when someone knocked on the front door. Peyton got up and opened the door. She took one look at the person and tried to shut the door quickly but the person stopped her from doing so.

"What do you want?" she demanded.

"I want to talk to you," Dan replied.

"Well I don't want to talk to you. I haven't wanted to talk to you for six years."

"Please just listen to me. I'll say my bit and then I'll go. After that you can forget I even existed."

Peyton nodded then stepped aside and allowed Dan to walk into the apartment. He looked around the beige font room then looked back at Peyton.

"Where's the boyfriend?" Dan asked.

"Out. He wanted a drink so he went to the pub. You'll have to make this quick because he'll be back soon. If he finds you here he'll flip," Peyton replied.

Dan nodded as he sat down on the sofa. Peyton looked at him expectantly.

"Listen, I saw your dad and I told him that I saw you a couple of months ago. Ever since I saw you I haven't stopped thinking about you. I was stupid breaking up with you because you slept with Nick. I never should have done it. What I guess I'm trying to say is I still love you," Dan explained.

"Why are you saying this? I'm happy with Ben. I don't love you anymore and I haven't done for a long time. Ben and me are trying for a baby and I'm in love with him. You coming here was stupid because I'm not going to fall for you again. I gave up on you when you sent me that stupid letter the summer of fourth year."

Dan looked down at the floor clearly very upset. Peyton sat down next to him and put her hand on his arm.

"I'm sorry. If you had done this a couple of weeks ago then my reply might have been different. I'm sorry."

Dan looked at Peyton and hugged her. As he pulled away they looked at each other. Dan gently kissed Peyton not expecting her to respond but to his surprise she deepened it. After a while they both pulled back in need of air and looked at each other.

"I'm sorry I shouldn't have done that," Dan said quietly.

"It's okay. I liked it. It brought back memories," Peyton replied.

Dan leaned in for another kiss but jumped away from her when the front door opened. Ben walked into the apartment and looked at Dan sat on the sofa.

"Who's this?" Ben asked.

Peyton jumped and looked at Ben.

"Oh this is Dan. He's a friend from school," she said.

"Hogwarts?"

Peyton nodded and the fact that she was talking to other magical folk against his wishes angered Ben.

"What have I told you about magic? I don't like it and I don't want you speaking to witches and wizards!" Ben shouted at her.

He then walked down the hall and slammed the bedroom door behind him. Dan looked at Peyton and smiled.

"Are you scared of him?" he asked.

Peyton shook her head then said, "You had best go."

Dan nodded and handed her a piece of paper.

"In case you need a friend."

"Thanks."

Dan nodded and hugged her before walking out of the front door. Once the door was closed, Peyton leant against it and sighed. Why was she feeling attracted to Dan when she knew that she shouldn't be attracted to anyone apart from Ben. Peyton sighed again and looked at Ben who had come back into the front room. He was stood there glaring at her.

"I've told you before I don't like magic!" he growled at her.

"And I've told you that you can't force me to abandon my heritage! It's who I am and you can't take it away from me!"

Ben grabbed hold of Peyton's hair and dragged her away from the door. He pushed her into the middle of the room and she tripped over a hairbrush that was on the floor. Peyton fell onto the floor and looked up at Ben with fear all over her face but unbeknownst to her Dan had heard everything as he was listening through the front door.

"Please don't hurt me! Please I love you! I won't backchat anymore just don't hurt me!" she pleaded.

Ben ignored her and grabbed hold of her wrist and dragged her to the bedroom. Once they were inside he shut the door and looked at Peyton.

"So I have to allow you to use magic? Why should I give you something when you can't give me the one thing I want?"

"Because it's who I am! Being a witch is not something I can throw away!" Peyton shouted.

Suddenly the bedroom door opened and Peyton turned round to face Maddy.

"Peyton come here," she said.

Peyton walked outside and faced Maddy.

"Leave him. Leave him now. He doesn't deserve you! You could do so much better than him," Maddy pleaded.

Peyton shook her head and walked back into the bedroom. She sat down on the bed and looked at her boyfriend.

"I don't know why I'm still with you because you can't give me what I want!" Ben yelled.

"Well dump me then! Maybe I don't want a baby with you and said I was infertile to stop us trying!" Peyton yelled back.

This made Ben snap and he shouted at her.

"WELL I DON'T WANT A BABY WITH YOU EITHER! IF WE HAD A BABY THEN IT WOULD HAVE YOUR GENES AND IT WOULD PROBABLY END UP BEING LIKE YOU! I'VE BEEN LYING ABOUT WANTING A BABY EVER SINCE WE AGREED TO START TRYING!"

Peyton eyes welled up and she glared at Ben.

"You saying that is even worse than hitting me," she told him.

Peyton then apparated to the Burrow leaving Ben stood in the middle of their bedroom. When Peyton reappeared in the kitchen of the Burrow she saw Mrs Weasley sat at the kitchen table. Mrs Weasley looked at her granddaughter and saw that she was very clearly upset.

"What's wrong?" Mrs Weasley asked.

Peyton sat down at the table and put her head in her hands.

"Dan came to see me and we ended up kissing then me and Ben had an argument. He said that he was lying when he said he wanted a baby so I apparated here," Peyton explained.

Mrs Weasley nodded then said, "I'll floo your dad."

Peyton watched as Mrs Weasley sat on the low stool by the fireplace and flooed Harry. Meanwhile in Grimmauld Place, Harry and Ginny were sitting down to a quiet dinner when Mrs Weasley's head appeared in the fireplace. Ginny noticed her and jumped then hurried to the fire.

"Mum, what's wrong? Are you okay?" Ginny asked frantically.

Mrs Weasley laughed then said, "I'm fine. Peyton's not though. She's here."

"We'll be right there. See you in a minute."

Mrs Weasley nodded and disappeared. Harry looked at Ginny and sighed.

"What's that boy done now? If she had just listened to everyone then she could get rid of him and not have to run away when he goes off the handle. He's mentally unstable I tell you!" he said to her.

"It doesn't matter. We need to know what's happened. For all we know she's had an argument with Maddy. You apparate with Jamie and Trinity and I'll apparate with Sirius," Ginny replied.

Harry nodded and walked out of the kitchen with Ginny. When they were halfway up the stairs the phone rang. Harry ran back down the stairs and answered it. Ginny shook her head and carried on up the stairs. When she came back down she saw that her husband was still talking. She watched as Harry hung up the phone and looked down at the floor. Ginny touched Harry and he flinched.

"What's wrong?" Ginny asked.

"Ben's been in a car accident. Apparently he left the apartment ten minutes after Peyton and he was on his way to the Burrow. Halfway there he was crashed into by a lorry. It was head on and he's in surgery now. He might not survive," Harry explained.

Ginny gasped and clutched onto Harry's arm.

"We can't tell her. It'll kill her. We'll tell her when she's calmed down," Ginny said.

Harry nodded and held onto Jamie and Trinity while Ginny held Sirius tightly. They then disappeared and in a matter of seconds they were stood in Mrs Weasley's kitchen. Harry looked at Peyton who had her head on her arms and was sobbing her heart out at the kitchen table and sat down opposite her. He put his hand on her arm and shook it.

"Peyton, what happened?" he asked.

"He said he didn't want a baby with me! He said he's never wanted a baby with me!" Peyton replied.

Harry smiled at Ginny seeing as that was possibly the best news he had all year. He then looked at his daughter and contemplated on telling her that Ben had been in a car accident and might not survive. Harry looked at Ginny and shrugged his shoulders as she shook her head. By now Sirius had fallen asleep in Ginny's arms and she had decided to take him, Jamie and Trinity upstairs to one of the bedrooms so she too could talk to Peyton without her other children bothering her.

"Harry, I'm taking these three upstairs. It's past their bedtime," Ginny told him quietly.

Harry nodded his head and watched his wife disappear. He then thought again about telling Peyton about Ben. How could he tell his daughter that her boyfriend had been in a car accident and might not survive. As much as he hated the boy Harry didn't think that he deserved to die even if he did hit her at one point. Ginny reappeared in the kitchen and sat down next to Harry. She looked at him and shook her head again.

"Harry, a word please."

Ginny and Harry got up from the table and went into the hallway where they talked in hushed whispers.

"You can't tell her! She's a mess it'd kill her!"

"But she needs to know and the sooner she finds out the better. She'd hate us if we kept it from her," Harry replied.

Ginny sighed then said, "Fine, but you can take the beating for it!"

Harry nodded his head and they both walked back into the kitchen. Harry sat back down at the table and looked at Peyton.

"Peyton, there's something I have to tell you," he said quietly.

Ginny looked at Mrs Weasley and sighed. Peyton looked up at Harry worriedly.

"What?"

"Well… Um… Ben's been in a car accident."

Peyton gasped and looked at her father.

"But he's alright isn't he? He's at home isn't he? Dad please tell me he's alright!"

"Peyton he's not alright and he's not at home. He's in hospital, in fact they're operating on him now but the doctors don't know if he'll survive," Harry explained.

Peyton looked at him and started to cry all over again whilst saying that it was all her fault and if she hadn't of apparated away then he wouldn't have been in the accident. Harry got up from his chair and sat down next to Peyton. He took her in his arms and started to rock back and forth with her like a baby all the while telling her that it wasn't her fault.

"It's not your fault! He shouldn't have been driving down the motorway at one hundred miles per hour. He shouldn't have left the apartment to come after you. Don't you dare say that this is your fault!" Harry told her.

"But it is. It's my fault. I've been a bad girlfriend. I kissed Dan before we had the argument and he doesn't know. Bad things happen to bad people but why did it have to be him? It should have been me!"

Ginny glared at Harry and said to Peyton, "I don't want you to ever say that again young lady! You should not be on that operating table! You're not a bad person, you are a kind person and it's his fault if he can't see that and don't you dare say that I don't know what I'm saying because I do! Maddy's been telling me everything! If anyone's the bad person then it's him! How dare he try and make you give up your heritage!"

Peyton nodded slowly at Ginny knowing that there was no way that she could make her mother see that Ben wasn't a bad person because after all Ben really was quite a bad person. No one else would try to make her give up her heritage or hit her. It now looked like that Ben had a new enemy in the form of Ginny Potter.
