Chapter Eight


Hailey Potter*

While still bright red from the twins questioning, she thought of their questions and how to answer them.

"Stefan is a lot like me is some aspects. While he isn't famous, he's got a lot of weight on his shoulders. I'm not going to tell you guys his story without his permission-", that led whining and pouting faces from the twins that faded away when the trio gave them a stern look. Over the course of the war the trio had earned quite a reputation. Everything they had done while in their school years had come to light. Say what you will but anyone who could fend off Voldemort and still pass their exams is considered the wrong type to piss off. The twins shifted their attention back to Hailey.

"Anyway, we just clicked and with him it felt nice to be protected instead of being the protector. Not to mention he is unfairly attractive but then again most vampires are.", she started thinking back fondly about Stefan and his adorable grin. Though she turned scarlet once the twins noticed that she left out answering their other question.

"And your neck? Don't tell me he fed off of you!", said George in a joking matter but soon turned murderous once thinking more deeply about it.

"No! It's just…Stefan has proven to be a vampire and…you guys know that vampires have a tendency to be…a bit…possessive.", she started to trail off at the end once she noticed the male members of her family had gained dark looks while the females look half worried for her and half joyful for her. Ron was quick to step in once he noticed that she was starting to shift anxiously and nervously.

"Listen okay no one should be making a face at his nature it's just something that comes with the vampire package now me and the girls are going to Hogwarts to look up some more information about the baby-", he was cut off by Percy.

"I can be of some assistance in that. I know about every book in the library. You want to look in the dark magical creature section and in the last row of the bookshelf should be filled about half-lings.", Percy had turned over a new leaf and had become apart of the order while the trio was on the run. He was the Orders eyes and ears at the ministry. He gave the trio a small smile which they returned.

"I recommend going now though. No doubt that Madame Pince will be trying to go and organize it after the chaos ends.", he added, Charlie and Bill agreed having a nostalgic look on their face.

"Run along now dearies, we'll take care of anyone that comes looking for you lot. Oh and Hailey dear, once you get to the point of about four months in your pregnancy it is highly important to remember that afterwards portkeys and apparating can lead to a dangerous situation for you and the baby. I remember when I had to travel by muggle means for so long when I got pregnant.", Molly said in a affectionate motherly tone towards the trio. But the last part worried Hailey. If she was in a bind and too far in her pregnancy she would need to have some defenses for her and the baby. It good information but scary to know. The trio went outside and Hermione took off her cotton glove and turned it into a portkey to Hogwarts. The familiar feeling of a hook in her navel had appeared and she was soon floating to land near Hagrid's hut and landed on her feet gently…while Ron and Hermione slammed on the ground. Before acquiring the title she would have landed just like them, good to know there were some perks with it. Great, they're going to be sore for a while.

"That new and unfair.", Ron said in a groan when he witness her soft landing.

"It's expected. Now come on before anyone notices we're here!", Hermione ended in a rushed whisper. They made their way inside without much hassle. They almost got caught if they hadn't mouthed to the painting to stay quiet as the painting had wanted to cheer when seeing them. The library was still standing other than a few discarded books on the floor. They made their way into the dark magical creature section and followed alphabetically to the V's and there it was. There were about four rows of books that were about vampires and the last row was entirely about half vampire spawns. Looking through the row there was only about 5 one-inch thick books about human-vampire crossbreeds. Ron and Hailey each got one book and Hermione got the rest. By the time they finish theirs she would already be done with all of hers.

Hailey had opened hers and had absentmindedly started laying her right hand on her stomach. Ron and Hermione had noticed and shared a smile and started on their own.

"Let's start reading Hermione. We're gonna need everything we can get to be a good uncle and aunt!", Ron said with a sunny smile that caused Hermione to flush and smile at him and Hailey to beam. Hopefully it will be enough for the new addition to the Potter line.

About an hour past and the information they obtained while vague and not much was still tremendously useful. Hailey's pregnancy gestation period would be at most three months. Hermione deduced that a month in she would look as if she's three months, two months would make her look like she's six months, and three months would make her look like she's about to pop.Her cravings would include blood and rare meat along with whatever human cravings she could have.

Along with that the pregnancy would take a heavy toll on Hailey's body. They figured it was because the baby was going to be stronger, and the kicks while joyous will be painful. They would need to keep a close watch on Hailey as while their was a way to check on the baby in a muggle way it would be too risky for her to do so and their wasn't a way to see it in the magical way. The only spells that Hailey could do is cast a Sonorus spell on herself to hear the baby's heartbeat.

Seeing as they had at most three months to prepare for the baby they hurried to put the books back and head back to the Burrow. Hailey was happy as she was starving and hoped she could convince Ms.Weasley to cook up a nice rare steak. She froze as she just processed he thought and put her hands on her belly and looked down with a soft expression of awe. Ron and Hermione noticed her stopping.

"What's wrong? Does something not feel right Hails?", Hermione asked fretting while Ron looked at her worriedly. They soon calms down as they noticed Hailey's expression.

"I'm fine, great in fact! It seems the little one is already making an influence on me.", she said still looking at her tummy fondly. With everything said and done they headed back to base.
