I ate breakfast, then went outside where Mum said Albus and Roxie were.

I found them outside the apple orchard, laughing about something.

"Hi," I greeted them.

"Hey, Lily," said Al.

"Hey," Roxie said nicely. "What's up?"

"Not much," I said. "I guess you know, then?"

"Know what?" asked Roxie.

I laughed. "That I'm knocked up, obviously."

"What?" asked Roxie.

"WHAT?" said Al loudly.

"Ummm..." I said. "I guess I assumed you knew... because Rose, Teddy, and James did."

"You're pregnant?" Al asked.

"Obviously," I said.

"With who?" he wondered.

"Umm... a baby," I said.

"No, Lily," Al explained. "Who's the father?"

Oh, silly me.

"Um," I started, "Hugo."

"WHAT?" Al freaked again, at the same time as Roxie said, "Hugo who?"

"Weasley," I said in a isn't-it-obvious kind of tone.

"My God!" said Al.

"Wow," said Roxie quietly.

"Well, I guess I's better go spread the news," I said, exscusing myself.


Rose came outside and walked around with me.

"Who should we start with?" she asked.

"Ummm," I started. "Either Louis or Fred, neither of them will kill me."

"Well, they're both degnoming the garden," Rose informed me. "Dom's there, too."

"Okay," I said. "We need a plan. I don't wanna just walk up to them and say 'Hey what's new with you? I'm having our cousin's baby.'"

"Well," Rose said. "I guess we can just talk about it loudly and hope they here."

"Okay," I agreed.

As we walked by Rose asked me, "So, when are you do?"

"In June, I think," I said loudly.

"Wow, that's soon," Rose replied. "I can't wait to be an aunt!"

"What did you just say?" Dom asked rudely.

"That I can't wait to be an aunt," Rose said.

"To Lily's baby?"

"Yeah," said Rose.

"You won't be it's aunt," Dom said. "You'd only be the aunt of a kid if it were Hugo's."

"It is," Lily stepped in.

"Wow, you're having your cousin's baby? I guess you're more of a slut than I thought!"

"Who's having their cousin's baby?" Louis asked.

"Your hero," Dom replied. "Wow maybe you'll follow in her footsteps! You could get Lucy pregnant!"

Louis ignored her. "What cousin's baby is it? Fred is it yours?" he asked.

"Is what mine?" he said bluntly.

"Lily's baby," Louis clarified.

"No," said Fred.

"Well who's it is?" Louis asked. "We don't have anymore cousins."

"Hugo," I told him.

"What?" he asked genuinly startled. "I thought he was gay!"

"Why would you think that?" I asked.

"He spends a ton of time on his hair."

"Well, he's not gay."

Just then Vic came over.

"Who's not gay?" she asked Dom.

"Hugo," Dom informed her obediently. "He- get this, Vic - he got Lily pregnant!"

"Slut," Vic murmered.

"Incestual slut," Dom agreed.

"Hello?" I said. "I'm right here."

"Whatever," Dom said rudely.

And then, for the first time I had ever seen, Fred showed actually signs of having thought something through.

"Leave her alone," he told Dom and Vic. "She's dealing with enough right now."

They seemed so surprised he actually showed said signs of thought, they didn't answer.

"Only two to go," I whispered to Rose.


Nest, Rose and I went to find Molly and Lucy.

"Same plan?" I asked Rose.

"Yup," she agreed, as we approached the girls, who were reading CosmoWitch on a bench in the front yard.

"So," Rose began. "Is Hugo excited to be a dad?"

"Hugo's gonna be a dad?" Molly asked, looking up from the magazine.

"Yeah," I told her.

"Who's the mum?" Lucy asked us.

"I am," I informed her.

Now, Lucy's only 11, so I don't think she totally understands sex.

"Do cousin's do it alot?" she asked.

"Yeah?" asked Molly, who was 12. "Because Louis is pretty hot!"

"Um," I responded to their odd reaction. "No, it's rather unusual. and I don't recommend it, people gives you loads of crap about it.

"Oh," said Molly.

"We're gonna go in," Rose said. "It's pretty hot out..."

Thank God, I thought as we walked away, eveyone knows now.
