On The Green

Chapter six: Carelessness

January 10^th

Thank Merlin! I got my period today! I told Ginny that I wanted some more detentions with Sevvy, so she suggested I call him that during class. It was hilarious.

"But Sevvy, isn't my potion the right thickness or the right colour then?"

"Detention, Ms. Green! And thirty points from Gryffindor!"

The points didn't matter. I would get them back in the evening! Too bad it was only one evening. I wanted more. The pleasure Sevvy gives me; it's unrivalled.

Anyway the whole class sniggered. They all know that I have a thing for Sevvy, they just don't know that he also has a thing for me!

More developments... Ginny got married during Christmas holidays. Even Draco's dad was there. Bound and gagged, but he was there. Handsome man, that Lucius Malfoy. But a little bit too slippery for my taste. All marriages took place at the Christmas holidays by the way.

Ginny's beginning to show. Not much, but she's due End June. Just like the rest. It looks like it's going to be a regular Baby Boom in June. The shame... Madam Pomfrey is going to be busy. Or maybe they should have a regular nanny for the babies at Hogwarts. Especially since the teachers live at Hogwarts, and the student couples need at least one more year at here!

February 23^th

I haven't written in a long while. That's because I'm still in shock. It seems like I'm pregnant too. By Sevvy of course. But there is no way he's going to marry me. It would mean he would lose his job. So I have to take care of the baby on my own. I forgot the nanny... I will go to the Hospital Wing today. See if Madam Pomfrey thinks I'm pregnant too!

February 24^th

Here is an account of what happened yesterday!

"Madam Pomfrey?" I had asked.

"Yes, Ms. Green?"

"Are there tests you can run to see if I'm pregnant?"

"Sure!"

She performed them.

"It must be in the air or something! Yes, Ms Green, you are pregnant too!"

"Oh, no!" I replied. The Anti-Conceivement Charm hadn't worked properly. Maybe I had been sloppy, or Sevvy placed a Conceivement Charm...

"You want to notify the father, I suppose. I suppose we have another marriage in the Easter holidays then..."

"No!" I said, resolute.

"You're not going to marry the baby's father?" Madam Pomfrey said disbelievingly.

"I will not marry him. Not now anyway. Maybe later. But I will notify him!" I said as I rushed out of the Hospital Wing trying to find my Sevvy!

~~~~~

I knocked on his office.

"Enter!" he snarled. I loved his voice. So I entered.

"Ms. Green! What a pleasant surprise..." Snape said. His started unbuttoning his robes.

"No, sit down, Professor! What I have to tell is not so pleasant!"

"Well, what is it then?" he retorted as he sat down again.

"You know last month's detention..." I began.

"Sure, it was wonderful, as always Ms. Green," he said. Wow, he almost never gave compliments...

"Well, I used a Anti-Conceivement Charm as always, but somehow it DIDN'T work..."

Sevvy's eyes widened. The little blood that was in his face started to leave it.

"You're pregnant?"

"That's what Madam Pomfrey said, ten minutes ago!" I confirmed his suspicions.

"How do I know that you haven't slept with anyone besides me!"

"You are a Leglimens, are you? You would know if I'm lying to you!" I answered his question.

"I told Madam Pomfrey that I wasn't going to marry the father of my baby.... I don't want you to lose your job!"

"But what about the baby, when it's born?"

"There will be a nanny here anyways for the other babies. I guess the baby will be born around October... We will find a way around it. And if you really want to marry me... you can wait until I've finished Hogwarts!"

"OK! But I will tell the Headmaster. I will tell that you confided in me! I surely hope that at the end of this year I haven't fathered two babies!"

"I think that will be best. People can be persuaded to tell things they don't want to tell, and this is not a secret that can stay secret for very long..." I said.

"Ms. Green, please help me remind that if Lucius Malfoy ever gets out of Azkaban I'll kill him!" he said on his way out to see the Headmaster.
