It was a new day, a Sunday. Brooke stood up from her bed, and left the Ravenclaw Common Room for breakfast. She sat down in between Padma and Mandy. Mandy was currently conversing with someone from Hufflepuff.
"Are you serious?" Brooke heard her ask. Brooke looked at Mandy then at the Hufflepuff, curious as to what was being said. As Mandy giggled then sat back up, Brooke took a bite of a roll.
"So, what was that about?" Brooke asked, Padma looked at them both.
"Alright, Megan Jones, heard from someone else, didn't catch her name. But she got it from her own eyes. Amber Mason and Draco Malfoy. Gryffindor, and Slytherin." Brooke laughed. "I know, crazy right?" Mandy said. Brooke heard a couple of Ravenclaws snickering. Brooke thought for a moment.
"Seriously? Draco Malfoy in love with a Gryffindor?" Mandy nodded. Brooke laughed, and her eyes traveled to the Slytherin table. She saw Draco Malfoy staring off somewhere. She followed his gaze to the blonde that had woken her up a couple of weeks ago. She was looking back at Draco. Brooke watched them smirking.
"Well, I for one think that they would be good together. Who cares about all the house problems anyways?" Brooke and Mandy looked at Padma, they saw her eyes directed, not at them, but at the Gryffindor table. More specifically, Dean Thomas. Brooke smiled, then gently nudged her friend.
"Why don't you go ask him out?" She asked. Padma looked at her and shook her head.
"Nah, he doesn't like me, so why bother?" Brooke looked at Padma with sad eyes. She felt the same way about Ben. Brooke stood up, and headed out of the Great Hall without another word. She could feel her friend's eyes on her, but she didn't look back at them. She turned the corner and ran into someone.
"Watch it!" Brooke looked up and saw a sixth year Slytherin. She could see that he was a prefect, she rolled her eyes at him.
"This time, I'll apologize, next time, you won't be so lucky." She said, she pushed past him, but he grabbed her arm pulling her around to face him.
"I could dock you points for that you know." She rolled her eyes. He thought he was so tough. She laughed, remember her first encounter with Draco Malfoy.
"You think I'm afraid of getting points docked away from my house? I don't care who's banner waves at the end of the year." Apparently, that wasn't the response he was looking for, as it seemed to anger him. She tore her arm from him. "And another thing, don't touch me." She said, then she left him standing there. Soon she was joined by one of the Jacob's girls. Emma Jacobs.
"I think you just pissed him off." Brooke rolled her eyes.
"Who was he?" She asked. Emma laughed.
"Lucas Wilkes. Big bad pureblood slytherin. One that apparently think's he's better than everyone." Brooke couldn't help but notice that, that seemed like of light hearted.
"Aren't all Slytherins like that?" Brooke asked with a smirk to the Hufflepuff. Emma smirked back.
"I guess so." Brooke rolled her eyes then walked off. Why was she in such a mood today? She shrugged not really knowing exactly. She walked into the Library, just trying to get some peace and quiet. When she got there she overheard a couple of students talking about Parents Weekend. She sighed. She didn't think her father would show up anyways, but she still felt fear that he was even invited! She wondered if she should talk to Professor Dumbledore about it, but then again, he'd just brush it off. One thing she hated about Professor Dumbledore, he didn't really take things seriously. She groaned and put her head in her hands.
"Why? Why must he invite parents to Hogwarts? Does he not know how that would endanger the lives of most of the students?" She asked Padma who was sitting across from her on the couch of the Ravenclaw Tower.
"I don't think he thought that through really..." She said with a laugh. Brooke sighed, and Padma's smile dimmed. "You know, I've never heard you say anything about your father." Brooke sniffled, and pulled her knees to her chest.
"With good reason, he's a monster. I hate him. He visited me this summer. He killed my mother." She said the last part in a whisper. Soon she found herself in an embrace. She looked up to see Padma's dark hair around her. She embraced her friend back, and held back tears. "I miss her so much" Soon the door opened, both girls pulled away from each other. She looked up to see Surian there. She nodded to the other girls, and walked up to the Girls dorms. Brooke stood up and looked at Padma. "I'll figure something out."
In a couple of days, the Parent's weekend had started. Brooke sat down in a chair of the Great Hall. She listened as some of the students greeted one another. She kept quiet until she heard footsteps coming towards her. Then stop immediatley. She took in a deep breath, and looked up. Her father, Marcus Fallon, was standing right in front of her. She stood up, and crossed her arms over her chest.
"I'm not happy about this. I'd rather you leave. However I am glad that I got to see you, under these circumstances. Because if we weren't in the middle of a room, full of wizards who are far more better than you. I'd lose it, and kill you. And I have no doubts, that you would love the opportunity to kill me. That's what you've been trying to do all along, isn't it?"" She said, with a smirk in place. He ignored her, and pulled her arm roughly. She let out a cry of fake pain as he dragged her to a group of his "friends?" or something of that sort. She pulled her arm from his grasp, and drowned out the sounds of his talking. Then she felt someone grab her and drag her away. "Ah!" She laughed when she saw it was Morgan Jacobs.
"Sorry bout that, but you looked like you need a savior." Brooke laughed and hugged Morgan.
"I did Morgs. Thank you." Morgan smiled at her, and Brooke looked at the Jacobs family. Henry Jacobs, Elizabeth Jacobs, and their children were all standing there. "Hey Suri, Ems. Ben.." She said the last one with a small blush and an embarrassed laugh. "Mr Jacobs, Mrs Jacobs.." She said with a curt nod to them. They both nodded to her and she sighed, sitting herself down. Brooke could feel the tension around her, she looked around, and saw various people showing their parents around. She put her head in her hands and sighed. "I should go... I've got things to study for..." She said. She stood up, and nodded to everyone. "Goodbye. It nice seeing you two again." She gave Henry and Elizabeth a small smile, before brushing the hair behind her ear and turning away from them. Heading to the courtyard, anywhere to get away from everything. Once she got there, she laid down on a bench, and stared at the sky. Eventually she heard a ruckus, and she walked back inside the castle. There, she saw Pansy Parkinson, teary eyed staring at that prefect who that he was all that... Lucas... Wilkes?.... Whatever. She looked around, and wondered what was wrong.
"You're.... what!?" Lucas asked. Brooke looked from the male Slytherin to the female. What... had just happened?.... The entire room was quiet. Pansy looked around, and began getting more emotional. The red-head, Lexa..., immediately went to Pansy's side, looking a bit concerned.
"Pansy... what's wrong, what happened?" The emotional slytherin burst into tears again. Everyone's eyes turned to Lucas.
"I'm-..... I'M PREGNANT!" She yelled. Everyone stopped everything, they were doing. Everyone's eyes, turned to the boy. The boy that had, apparently, gotten a sixteen year old girl,.... pregnant.... He himself was in shock. Granger walked over to him, a bit cautiously.
"Lucas...." Like everyone else, Lucas didn't even breathe. Pansy looked around at the number of people in their business, and turned to her friend and cried into her. Well... this isn't something you normally hear at Hogwarts... and this certainly is not the right timing.
Ugh this chapter sucks, but I've had a lot of issues lately, mostly with the people this story came from, so yeah. Sorry for the sucky chapter.
