Chapter 5:D Here it goes!
Disclaimer: I merely own the plot and Katrina and her family. Yep. That's it.
Chapter 5
FAT.
I'm getting fat!
You can see that I've got a stomach on me!
People are starting to look at me weird.
I think they know!
Just the other day, Seamus looked at me and said, "Oy, Kat! What have you been eating?"
It was humiliating. Absolutely humiliating.
What am I going to do?
I have to find a potion. A charm or something.
Something that will hid my stomach before I blow up like a balloon.
Oh god! I'm going to be fatter than my mum!
This is really upsetting. Now I know why pregnant women are so annoying sometimes.
Wait...
Am I going to be annoying too?!
Oh no!
I will never forgive Oliver for this!
NEVER!
That schmuck!
Ugh!
After that little war in my head, I decided to go to the library and try to find a book that would have some sort of spell or something to hid a pregnant stomach.
After an exhausting hour of searching, I found the perfect potion. Mother Abigail's Special Serum was what it was called. It was a potion that would make my stomach appear to be the way it had been before the stages of pregnancy had hit me.
There was one slight problem– to make the potion was pretty tricky. Merlin knows that Potions is not my best class.
If I screw up on this potion, not only my life, but my unborn child's life would be in danger. There is no way I am going to be able to do this potion. I have to find someone I trust, someone who is great at making potions.
"Hello, Katrina. What are you reading?"
I looked up to see Hermione Granger.
I smiled.
This was the sign.
She was my savior.
"You, my dear friend, are brilliant," I said.
"Well, that was unexpected. Are you feeling alright?" She gave me a strange look.
I laughed a little, "Come with me, I have something very important to ask of you."
We left the library and I brought her into an empty classroom.
"What I'm about to tell you is for your ears and your ears only. Do you understand?" I asked her.
She nodded, standing up tall, "Of course."
"Hermione, I... I'm pregnant."
It was a little weird to say it out loud. It was the first time I ever told anybody.
Hermione gasped and covered her mouth.
"Oh my goodness! Who– Well, it's Oliver of course, but– How far along are you?"
"5 months as soon as the 13th of December comes along," I told her.
"Oh Merlin! Do your parents know?"
"No. I just... I didn't have the heart to tell them. Not yet, at least. I just don't know how to tell them. You're the first one I've told."
"Except for Oliver, of course," Hermione said.
My head dropped. How pathetic was I?
"Oh no, Kat. He doesn't know?"
"He broke up with me before I even found out. Unless he somehow knew what was going on inside my body, then no. He doesn't know," I was tearing now.
I was such an idiot. How could I have been stupid enough to have sex. Why did I do this to myself?
"Oh, Kat," Hermione hugged me and I just cried for a little bit, mumbling about what a mistake I had made.
After I stopped crying, I told Hermione what I planned on doing.
"I can't let anyone find out. I just can't let that happen. So I need to hid it."
I showed her the potion.
She studied the materials that were needed and all the instructions.
"It seems a bit difficult," she said.
"Do you think you can make the potion? Please, Hermione? I really need it," hope filled my eyes.
She smiled and gave in, "Alright. Meet me back here at 8:00. I'll have everything I need. Just bring a nice sized vessel."
I smiled more than I thought was possible, "Oh, Hermione! Thank you so much! Thank you, thank you, thank you! I don't know how I could ever thank you enough!"
We both laughed a little.
"No problem," she said. "Anything for a friend in need."
