A/N: Thanks again to my amazing reviewers! Please continue, it makes me feel so good about my writing :)
The holidays flew by, and soon it was time for us to go back to school.
On January 3rd, Mum drove Al and I to the station. Dad had to work.
I was worried about what people would do or say when they saw me. I was 4 months along, and the bump showed rather obviously on my petite frame.
Hugo and I sat with Colin, Lorcan, and Lysander on the train.
"I'm pregnant," I told Lysander when I caught him staring at my belly.
"Oh," he said, seeming unsure how to react.
"Don't tell anyone," I requested. "Please."
"Okay," Lorcan and Lysander both agreed.
"Who's the father, Lily?" Lorcan said.
"Is it you, Colin?" Lysander asked.
"No!" Colin answered. "And I wish everyone would stop asking me that.
"It's me," Hugo confessed.
"Wow," said Lorcan and Lysander simultaneously.
When I entered the Great Hall for supper, I was feeling extremely self conscious. I noticed more than one student look at my stomach, then tap one opf their friends shoulders and whisper in their ear.
So I knew my secret was no longer safe.
I sat down in between Hugo and Colin and ate my supper in silence, as quickly as I could. Then I left the hall.
I was walking quickly towards the Fat Lady's portrait when I saw Jam (don't ask me what kind of name this is, his parents are probably psychotic or something) Goyle noticed me.
"Well if it isn't little Lily Potter," He taunted.
"Fuck off, Goyle."
"Oooooh," said Goyle. "Little Potter is sensitive now that she's gotten herself knocked up."
"Shut the hell up!"
"Who's the father, Weasley. Your brother?"
And I kneed him in the groin.
I ran off leaving him squirming on the floor. When I reached the Fat Lady's Portrait I nearly screamed, "Nimbus 2000!"
She let me in after a warning not to yell our passwords and I went upstairs and sat on my bed.
Ellie and Sal were both there, too.
"Hey, Lils," Sal greeted me.
"Hi Lily!" said Ellie. "How was your holiday."
"Fine, thanks," I said sort of honestly. "How were yours?"
"I stayed here," said Ellie.
"Ohh," I responmded. "And yours, Sal. You went to France,didn't you?"
"Yeah," she replied. "It was amazing, thanks." Then, she glanced down and I know she noticed my stomach.
"Oh," I said when she looked at me. "I'm having a baby!"
"Wow," said Ellie unsurely. "Congratualtions."
"Thanks," I said, smiling.
"Wow, Lils," Sal said.
"Listen , Sal," I told her. "Colin and I are good friedns, so alot of people are going to think the baby is his. But I want you to know, whatever rumor you might here, Colin is not my baby's father."
"Okay, Lily," Sal said. "Thanks for telling me."
"Who is the father?" Ellie asked. "Is it Juan Lopez? I heard he likes you."
"No," I said. "It's my cousin-" I was about to say "Hugo" but Sal interrupted me.
"Louis?" she asked.
"Ew," I said "He's a third year. Hugo."
"I thought he was gay," Ellie said.
"What? No," I replied. "He's as straight as any of us."
I had purposely not told Ellie or Sal to keep my pregnancy a secret. I wanted people to know, so it could just be over with.
People did know. The next morning as I walked into the Great Hall with Lottie, many people stared at me. A few people caled out name such as "skand" and "whore" and others yelled "incest".
So I knew how everone felt, and I felt horrible.
