Chapter 39- Viktor vs. Cho, Adrian vs. Rodger.
The day of the Second Quidditch Exhibition Match dawned cold but clear.
The stadium was crowded, more so then usual. Papa had created a press box of sorts for the reporters and the scouts to observe the match.
Severus pulled Draco over, "If you're planning a match with Hufflepuff, the pitch is going to be in use from this week until the end of the Third Task."
Draco smirked, "Guess I'll have to rent a Professional field."
Severus nodded, "Take your places. Shake hands."
Adrian and Rodger shook hands.
"Ready?" Severus let the balls fly at his whistle.
Ravenclaw; Chasers Roger Davies, Randolph Burrow and Jeremy Stretton, Beaters Jason Samuels and Duncan Inglebee, Seeker Cho Chang and Keeper Grant Page kicked off.
Chasers Adrian, Draco and Angelina, Beaters George Weasley and Max O'Flaherty, Seeker Viktor Krum and Keeper Herbert Fleet did the same.
Angelina had the best reflexes and managed to snag the Quaffle first.
Adrian and Draco were in sync, keeping themselves open for Angelina to pass to.
"Its your favorite commentators Lee,"
"And Remus!"
"Returning as a special referee is our one and only Deputy Headmaster Severus Snape!"
"Look at them fly! It's Angelica with the Quaffle." Remus said excited.
"Watch out Ang! That's a Bludger!" Lee yelled.
Angelina barely avoided the Bludger sent by Jason and hurled the Quaffle at Draco who snatched it up and made his way to Page. He smirked and scored.
Page growled.
Viktor flew around looking around for the Snitch. There wasn't much sun, way more then at Durmstrang…there was some glare from the snow but not that much.
Cho couldn't see squat.
George hit the Bludger up at Cho after it missed Angelina.
It was interesting to see the Slytherin Dynamic Duo flying with the leader of the Gryffindor Golden Trio.
While George and Max was no Fred and George, they were decent. They hadn't taken long to mesh.
The Ravenclaw Chasers were good but between Adrian's pair of Beaters and his three top-notch Chasers, the Ravenclaws didn't seem to have a chance.
George might not have Fred but Max was a decent substitute, he was surprised how well they worked together, more often then not it was their bat that made impact with a Bludger and sent it towards the Ravenclaws.
Adrian was having fun; he wondered whether Blaise might try out next year. The newly Bonded Veela was a natural flyer; he would prove a hell of a Chaser. Between the three of them plus Harry they would have a huge chance at the Quidditch cup.
Viktor vaguely knew they were in the lead, the game had been going on more then thirty minutes but less then an hour. He was the only one on a Firebolt against a tiny Ravenclaw girl who was engaged to Diggory. He caught a hit of gold and dove for it.
Cho had been circling for a while when she spotted Viktor's dive, he couldn't have see it could he? Was this the Wronski Feint he'd used at the World Cup again? She saw gold and dove after him.
Viktor flew faster, straight into the ground. He could pull up in time but could she?
Cho was flying really fast, perhaps too fast…
Viktor caught the snitch and broke out of the dive with less then two feet to spare. He raised his fist in victory.
Cho couldn't pull up in time and crashed, she did manage to slow down though…
Draco whistled.
Adrian did a victory lap.
The crowd was wild.
Cho had landed badly and broke her arm at least she glared at the sky. She'd tried her best, there was no way she was good enough to play against Viktor Krum the only Seeker she'd ever flown against better then Harry.
Cedric summoned her broom and joined her, climbing off and gently lifting her up in his arms.
Draco chuckled, Gryffindor's best Seeker and Slytherin's were a couple; so were Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff's Seekers.
Reporters and scouts eager to talk to them rushed the field.
Rodger told them that they could submit their questions for Cho in writing and he would see to it that they were answered.
It was pure chaos once more, Draco had to yell to shut them all up.
The scouts who weren't so interested in the players who hadn't flown in October were more interested now.
Cho, Stretton, Rodger and perhaps Page were considering playing professionally if they were offered a place.
Angelica had proven she could fly with her former rivals and play seemingly well.
George had proved that his skill as a Beater wasn't reliant on his brother…
Draco knew that the Arrows and Puddlemere still had their eye on Adrian and he would make sure his captain was given full consideration.
Blaise made his way towards the pitch from the stands, George looked tired. More tired after a game then he had expected…he held his eggs closer to keep them warm as he neared George. He rest his hand on his friend's back, as a seer he was more sensitive then most. There was life inside his friend, but how? It was faint but there none the less…
George turned slightly, "Blaise?"
Blaise took his arm, "Come. We need to talk." He gestured for Severus to join them, he had a tremendous sense of unease.
Blaise led them back to his own rooms, after they were on the other side of the portrait door he turned on George, "Tell me you didn't do it."
George's brow furrowed in confusion.
"Brew the potion yourself." Blaise said laying his eggs in their crib near the fire that Charlie relit.
"What potion?"
"The pregnancy potion."
George's eyes narrowed, "I did no such thing. I warded the only book in the library that had it so I couldn't touch it without being burned. I wanted to avoid the temptation. Don't tease me. I bloody well know I can't have his kids,"
Severus raised an eyebrow, "May I?"
George shrugged before crossing his arms.
"It's faint, but he is. Actually, he's almost two months."
George's eyes filled with tears, "I can't be…I've only been with Fred. What do you think happened? Could I have been dosed like Percy by an unknown person?"
Severus cast a few charms, "No. From what I can tell this is a natural pregnancy but that shouldn't be. This is strange. This isn't a di-spermal conception."
George's hand flew to his mouth, the potion. The gender-switching potion, it was just supposed to be temporary…
"What do you know of this George?"
George blushed, "We like to create potions and sweets etcetera. We made the potion Harry has been using to practice swimming and will use in the Second Task. WE thought it might be fun to create a gender switching potion, it's only good for two hours and then your magic reasserts itself so you change back."
Severus stared, "You created a potion that not only changed your gender but also made you fertile? I've never even heard of such a potion."
George shrugged, "I'm good at brewing but I prefer to experiment."
"How did he retain the pregnancy?" Blaise asked softly.
"He wanted Fred's child more then anything. I'd say his magic retained both womb and the products of conception. Are you sure you want to chance this? Being the children of Twin brothers they are more likely to have problems; possibly being Squibs or even mad." Severus had to he honest.
"I don't care if they're squibs. They're my babies, I want them." George whispered holding his stomach.
"We'll need a story, what to tell those who don't need to know. We can't tell anyone outside the family they are Fred's babies." Charlie said quietly, "I'm ashamed that you're pregnancy George, please don't think that. I just don't want you treated badly."
"I see."
Blaise spoke, "Why don't you say George got a little tipsy during the Yule Ball? He ended up sleeping with someone he didn't remember? When Fred found him he was thoroughly debauched? Whoever George slept with must have given him the potion. You can refuse to end the pregnancy because it isn't the babies fault. When they are born Fred can adopt them and name them as his heirs. You can just decide that you don't care who the father is. They didn't come forward so it doesn't matter."
George winced, "So I have to pretend they are rape babies?"
"Would you rather tell Mum that they are Fred's?"
George paled, "No…"
"It's settled then. I want everything you had on the potion you created. You are to go to class and sleep. You aren't to fly or even learn to Apparate. Flooing on emergency only. You will eat what I recommend given your body and special potions I will brew because you need adequate nutrition."
"Our baby…" George's eyes shone with happiness.
"Babies. You have two new echoes of growing life."
"Twins?" George seemed to glow, he had his beloved Fred and now in his body by some miracle he was carrying their babies. He walked off to the Tower on a cloud.
Charlie pinched his nose, "Think Dad will buy the story?"
Severus shrugged, "It is in his best interest to believe it publicly. Fred can pull the big brother card and promise to help George care for the child. They are both single, some would say that George should carry it to term and then give it away…them away. Preferably to a Bonded couple that he is related to."
"He'll be fine. He has Fred who will take care of him."
That was a long chapter. Full of more Draco and Blaise then Harry, oh well. We'll see more of Harry soon.
Exceeds Expectations? Acceptable? Outstanding? Troll? What do you think?
