Chapter 6
I wake up the next morning feeling miserable. Severus is fully dressed and about to head downstairs.
"Come back to bed love, please" I beg
"It is 9am, we have both overslept after last night. You need to be on the train in two hours and I have a staff meeting at noon" he grumbles leaving the room in a hurry.
I get dressed and rush downstairs. Severus is still at the table eating breakfast. I stand at the bottom of the stairs watching him until he stands dismissing himself and heads out the front door. I race out the door after him.
"Severus!" I shout out to him, Severus turns and his usual cold as ice look is on his face.
"You are making this difficult Miss Leigh" he growls. I stand on my toes wrapping my arms around his neck pulling him in for one more duel. When the kiss breaks he turns and is gone.
We arrive at platform 9 3/4 and board the train without incident, I change into my Slytherin clothes and go looking for my dorm mates. It appears as though a lot of the seventh year slytherins have not returned. I find an empty compartment and tuck myself in. The train starts to move and I immediately I feel Ill pressing my face against the cool glass and zoning out. Moments later I am startled when the door slams on the compartment."Can I sit here?" Comes Draco's raspy voice. He looks like hell, his eyes sunken and dark. He has lost a lot of weight and looks miserable. I nod and he sits down across from me and stares out the window, looking lost.
"I'm surprised to see you back after everything" I whisper afraid I'm going to vomit. He looks at me oddly.
"I told my mum I would see how it went, I don't want to be back here"
"That makes two of us" I whisper again
"You aren't the bad guy, you’re a hero like Potter" he spits
"You should have a bit more respect, he is the sole reason your family isn't in Azkaban. And as for me, I'm not the flawless hero you think I am. What's happened to you over the summer?"
"I was about to ask you the same thing Celestia"
"I really don't want to go there yet" I whisper again feeling my stomach lurch.
"A secret for a secret? You can trust me, you are the only person I have left to talk to here" he sighs
"I'm pregnant Draco, and would give anything not to be going back. It'll be wonderful once the student body gets ahold of the news I'm sure"
"Wow, congrats I guess. Who is the--" he begins
"That I can't tell you right now, I'm sorry"
"I'll be the first to know when you can?"
"Of course Draco"
"My parents have been fighting all summer, my mother found out she was pregnant shortly before the war. My father has been trying to convince her against keeping it. Times just aren't good for my family" he tells me seriously
"I get that, I'm sorry to hear you've had a rough summer Draco"I sigh. The door slides open again and Astoria comes in.
"You look awful Draco, are you ill?" She asks concerned, dropping into the seat beside him.
"No, just really tired"
They continue chatting and I sit back putting my legs on the seat in front of me and leaning my head back against the window.
Draco nudges me awake as the train comes to a stop at Hogwarts. We get off and board the carriage up to the castle. At several points during the short ride I lean my head off the carriage and pray my food will stay down. We are the last carriage to arrive at the castle and make it in just as the sorting ceremony begins, shuffling into our seats quickly. I wager a look up at Severus, he looks miserable sitting up there. I stare at him in silent longing until I realize he is glaring intently at me, I have been staring too long and he has noticed. I turn my attention to Professor McGonagall who is in the process of naming the head boy and girl.
"Slytherin house I significantly short in 5th-7th year students this year so I will be appointing new prefects for Slytherin house" she unrolls the parchment in her hand and begins reading off names. I zone out again feeling terribly ill, god I wish this feeling would go away.
"And finally Miss Celestia Leigh" she finishes snapping my focus back to her. Slytherin house applauds patting their prefects on the back, I sit at the end of the table with Draco feeling like I could repeatedly hit my head off the table.
Later that night as I'm laying in bed I can hear shouting coming from the common room. I race down to find Draco Malfoy is fighting against several sixth year students, all of the boys are bloodied up, especially Draco who no has a blackening eye and a split lip."Your mother is the reason the war was lost, she is a traitorous bitch!" One of the students screams at him. Draco manages to disarm the boy as he charges at him so the boy instead goes at Draco, fists up, I step between them in time to take a punch to the face. I feel my nose crack and blood begin to pour"
"You deserved that too! You don't belong in this house, go join your bloody Gryffindor buddies" the boy spits at me.
I look behind me to see Draco has gone, of course he ran I think to myself. I stand slowly and am struck down again by the boy, cracking my head off the cold stone floor. Suddenly the common room door bursts open. Severus storms in followed by Madame Pomphrey and finally Draco.
"What are you bloody fools doing" Severus roars at the boys. My head is pounding and I feel dizzy. Draco takes one look at me and abandons his hiding place behind the teachers and skids onto the floor beside me.
"The five of you can report to the Headmistress' office immediately" he snarls loudly.
"Professor!" Draco starts. Severus eyes dart to Draco who is hunched over me and then down to me on the floor. At that moment everything goes black and I collapse onto the floor again.
I wake a few moments later and am being carried to the hospital wing by Severus. I smirk up at him impishly.
“I’m so glad you find your obvious concussion amusing Miss Leigh”
“Let me down, I can walk Sir” I grunt. Him holding me like this sending electrical currents to my core.
We arrive at the infirmary and Madame Pomphrey ushers me to a bed. I watch as Severus turns to leave and the headmistress appears at the door and drags him back into the infirmary. While they are chatting Poppy pulls out her wand and uses it to scan over my body, when she hits my belly she stops abruptly and eyes me in concern.
“Are you aware that you are---“she starts
“Yes I am, Is the baby ok?” I ask worried that my tumble may have harmed it.
“I will have to be more thorough with my examination to tell you that for sure, have you received any medical care to date?”
“No, I really haven’t had the chance” I respond nervously
She shakes her head and sighs clearly irritated.
“Is she alright Poppy?” chirps Minerva bustling over to my bed
“She has a concussion Minerva, and I wish that was the worst of my concerns. The young Miss Leigh is pregnant Minerva”
Minerva stands in at the end of my bed looking at me angrily
“Can I have a moment alone with Miss Leigh, Poppy?”
Poppy turns to leave and so does Severus.
“Severus Snape turn around this instant” she squawks. Severus turns on heel and drops into the chair at the side of the bed in defeat.
“Did either of you plan on informing me of this?”
“I did Headmistress, I really just didn’t know how to” I explain gently
“What am I supposed to do with you Miss Leigh?”
“I’m not due until after the Christmas break Headmistress, I will figure something out”
“And you! You should have known better! Do you know what kind of problems this is going to cause me?”
Severus looks up to see Poppy Standing in the doorway with her mouth dropped open.
”I am sorry Minerva, I just needed to give this medicine to Miss Leigh, I wasn’t trying to snoop. But are you saying?” She begins in shock.
Minerva waves her wand at the door to the infirmary which closes and locks. She quickly scans over the other beds and then returns her gaze to Poppy
“This information stays between us for now Poppy. Yes you have assumed right, Severus is the Father of Miss Leigh's baby”
“I never would have guessed” She answers quietly
“That is the point” Severus growls irritated “Can we get this conversation over with? I am entirely sleep deprived as of late”
“We could assign her an elf or two form the kitchens once the baby is born to keep an eye on things while she is in classes” Minerva asks Severus thoughtfully. Severus snorts at the idea.
“I could watch the babe here while she is in classes Minerva, it’s not usually too busy in here during the day until exams”
Minerva nods in acceptance and goes back into thought.
Severus stands and turns to leave when I grab his robes, a pleading look in my eyes. Severus looks to Minerva who nods. Severus leans in grabbing my face and kissing me warmly.
“Only this once Severus, I can’t have the school going into chaos over this”
He nods, turns and storms out of the infirmary.
“Pardon me Minerva, but why are you allowing this at all?” Poppy asks concerned
“It began last year, and clearly it is already past my ability to stop” she answers pointing to me “the most I can do at this point is contain this and keep it away from the student body. For now though, I need to find somewhere else to put miss Leigh and mr Ma
lfoy” Minerva finishes turning and leaving.
Madame Pomphrey returns to my side and goes back to work, I lay in the bed silently closing my eyes.
I wake up after being nudged Several times, McGonagall and Pomphrey stand over me.
“You are being moved to share the Head Girl Quarters with Hermione Granger, for your safety”
"Fantastic" I reply sarcastically, turning my gaze to Poppy.
"Your baby is fine Miss Leigh, you are exactly four and a half months pregnant which would make you due on the 22nd of January. Do you want to know what it is?"
"A girl?" I yawn
"Gut instinct? Yes she's a very healthy little girl." Poppy finishes and releases me from the infirmary.
Professor McGonagall walks me silently up to the head girl room and lets me in bidding me a good evening. I creep in quietly to find it has been divided into two seperate rooms. I move into my room too tired to care tonight and climb into my bed, falling asleep quickly.
