Rule #2: Sneaking into Hogsmeade is all too easy when you're a Peasley.
Seriously, we are experts of mischief. Al has the Maurader's map (I'm pretty sure he knicked it, but whatever) and James has the cloak (again, I think it's knicked, but I'm not complaining). They taught all cousins all the secret passages in and out of school, and I got the information from said cousins.
All I have to do to sneak out is knick the cloak and the map from Dumb n' Dumber and sneak out. And that's exactly what I was doing on Monday, December 18, 2023.
Alice was with me. When I told her why I was sneaking out, she kind of had a fit. "You better not! Oh, you better not, Lily, cause if you are your mom's gonna kill you, and your dad, and your brothers, and their gonna kill Lorcan, and then my best friends will be dead and I'll be alone! I DON'T WANT A DEAD BEST FRIEND!" It took ages to calm her down and explain I was only taking a pregnancy test to ease my mind. I honestly didn't think I would be pregnant, but the symptoms of my flu were worrying me, so I had decided to calm myself down. I had been tired and throwing up every morning for the past week. I told everyone I had a bug. Sure, at the Halloween party the condom broke, but I still doubted I was pregnant.
It was about 9:30 now, so we had to make it there and back fairly quickly if we didn't want to break curfew at 10. We were under the cloak, with the map guiding us to the statue at the passage to Honeydukes.
I hadn't told Lorcan I was sneaking out, or why; I didn't want to give him a false alarm. I'd tell him what I did tomorrow, and tell him how the test was false. I was confident it would be false.
Alice and I slipped out of Honeydukes and walked around the town until we made it to the little pharmacy. I slipped out from under the claok and went inside.
I looked around, and found the tests under "Family Planning". Yeah right. More like "Finding out your family is going to murder you and your boyfriend". I shook my head. 'No one is going to be murdered because the test will be negative,' I thought firmly. I grabbed one muggle test and one wizarding one and went up to the counter. A bored-looking old lady stared judgingly at me when I handed her the tests, but I just glared. I might or might not have hissed at her as well. I paid and went back outside.
"You got them?" Alice asked. I showed her the tests. "Yup." "Good, let's go."
We slipped back into Honeydukes, and I bought some sweets to reward myself when the tests were negative.
Yeah, I was worried. I needed to constantly remind myself that THE TESTS WILL BE NEGATIVE. I was more worried than I let on.
Slipping into our dorm, I turned to Alice. "I am going to go in the bathroom and pee on these tests. Or whatever you have to do. Then, I will let you in and we will watch them turn out negative. Together," I said firmly, convincing myself as much as her. Alice just nodded. I went into the bathroom and locked the door.
I pulled out the muggle test first, since it would take longer. I looked at the directions and leaned over the toilet. After thoroughly dousing the test in my piss, I left it out. I turned to the wizarding test.
It was different. I first drank a potion. Then I spit into some liquid. Then I took another potion, peed in another liquid, and finally I mixed them and poured them over a piece of parchment. As that worked, I went and unlocked the door.
Alice raced in and locked the door behind her. We looked at the muggle test first.
A tiny little + was on the screen. I laughed nerviously. "Hahaha, silly muggle thing doesn't work! Lets' check the other one." Alice was white at this point. I picked up the parchment and looked at it.
Test for: Lily Luna Potter
Pregnant, 7 weeks.
Father: Lorcan Xenophilius Scamander
I swore. Alice fainted, just like that. I felt like following but I stood firm. I pocketed the tests and destroyed all evidence they existed. I would use them to show Lorcan he was gonna be a daddy.
Oh god, I'm gonna be a mom!
I woke up Alice.
She looked up at me. "I don't want a dead best friend," she said again.
I smiled weakly. "Oh, well. Too late."
