Soon it was the 20th of December, and it was time to go home for Christmas Break. Hugo and I were going to the Burrow, where we always spend our holidays.
The next morning after breakfast we sat in the room that Hugo shared with Albus and Louis, discussing, or actually arguing about, how we would tell our parents the news.
"We shouldn't tell them you're the father," I suggested.
"But," he began to protest.
"No, listen," I instructed. "I'll refuse to tell who the father is, and you won't be in trouble."
"No," he argued. "I'm gonna take responsibility for this. Besides, what if it came out looking like me?"
"Well we have similar traits," I told him. "We both have blue eyes, so they would think it has my eyes."
"All baby's have blue eyes, Lily," Hugo remined me. "What if it has brown hair?"
"Most people have brown hair," I said. "They'll think the father has it, but they won't know which brown-haired guy it is."
"This is a pointless argument, Lily," he said. "Because I'm telling them."
"Fine," I agreed.
"Listen, Lily," he said. "We have to decide how to tell our parents."
"Tell us what?" Mum said, entering the room with Aunt Hermione.
"I'm pregnant," I whispered, looking down.
Aunt Hermione gasped.
"HARRY!" Mum yelled.
"COMING," Dad called back.
We sat in silence as Dad's footsteps became louder.
"Harry," said Mum quietly when he arrived. "Listen to Lily."
He looked at me.
"I'm pregnant," I stated.
"No," Dad whispered. "You can't be."
"I am," I said.
"Oh, Lily," said Dad. "Who's the father?'
"It's," I began to say, but Hugp interrupted me.
"I am," he said loudly.
"RON!" Aunt Hermione screamed.
Once again we heard the pounding of footsteps on the stairs.
"What's wrong?" said Uncle Ron.
"Lily is pregnant," Mum informed him solemly.
"What?" Uncle Ron asked, looking at me.
"Dad?" said Hugo quietly.
"What?" Ron asked him.
"I'm the father," said Hugo.
And Hell broke loose.
"WHAT?" Uncle Ron roared. "WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU? YOUR MOTHER AND I RAISED YOU BETTER THAN THIS! KNOCKING UP YOUR OWN FUCKING COUSIN? EVEN FROM ROSE I WOULD EXPECT SOMETHING LIKE THIS! BUT YOU HUGO?" He got suddenly quiet. "I expected more from you."
"I'm-" Hugo began, but Ron interrupted.
"You have no right to speak!"
This was gonna be a long day.
