Chapter two: Telling Dumbledore

"Ms. Patil!" McGonagall called.

I entered Dumbledore's office carefully.

"Ms. Patil, do you know who could have done this?"

"Yes, sir! I did..." I said looking down at the floor apparently fascinated by the carpet. "I only wanted my own dreams to come true..."

Dumbldore surveyed me carefully over his half-moon glasses. "I think you have seen the error of your ways, as you were the one that cleaned up most of the mess it caused...

"I will not punish you, but I will let Professor Flitwick know...

"What happened to you, by the way?" he asked finally before I left the room.

"I slept with a Slytherin named Blaise Zabini and got woken this morning by Draco Malfoy!" I said honestly. There was no point in lying.

"Just one more thing, Ms. Patil!" Dumbledore said. "You know it's my business to keep an eye on people and just for your information... you forgot the Anti-Conceivement Charm the second time... so you'll be under the surveillance of Madam Pomfrey at least for the coming month!"

That was more punishment, more embarrassing then everything else. I had to find Blaise and tell him, but first I went to the Hospital Wing.

I was happy to find that Madam Pomfrey was back into her normal clothes.

"Ms. Patil, Dumbledore said that you would be here. You can wait here with the other ladies..." she said.

I looked around to see who the other ladies were. I saw Parvati, Daphne and Hermione... and several other people including Professor Trelawney... If she really had her Inner Eye tuned... she wouldn't be here and just up in her room... pregnant or not.

Parvati was off course asking her all about who of them would be pregnant...

"And Professor, do you think I might be pregnant? And what about the others?"

"Don't worry dear, you aren't. Your sister although..." I turned red but Trelawney continued. "I think we will also see a pregnant Madam Pomfrey. And Daphne you will be too!"

Madam Pomfrey came and did some test on each one of us.

"Well there are no pregnancies yet... but I advice you to stay in contact the coming month in case you get your period!"

There was a great relief from all and we left our places to go back to our own Common Rooms, but I sought out Daphne first. She was a Slytherin. Maybe she knew where I could find Blaise.

"He probably is in his dorm..." she replied as we walked to the dungeons.

"Can you tell him that I want to talk to him. I will be waiting outside the entrance to your Common Rooms! I can come in off course, but I think Draco will have changed the password..." I said.

"You know the password?" Daphne was shocked.

"Blaise gave it to me..."

"So if you're pregnant Blaise is the father..." I just nodded in reply. "He doesn't know yet. I myself only knew I forgot the charm until Dumbledore told me..."

"I don't even want to know about that!" she looked disgusted.

We had arrived by the wall.
