The Unexpected

CHAPTER FIVE: SWITZERLAND

THE YULE BALL

Draco Malfoy was dancing with his date, Heather Blanchard, when he spotted Harry Potter with Ginny Weasley.

`Heather, I have to bug Potter. Stay here, alright.´ He said, while smirking. Heather pouted but smirked as well after hearing sweet words from Draco.

`Alright, I´ll be waiting for you,´ she said seductively while tracing his chest with her fingers. `Be quick.´ Draco smirked and then walked away.

`So, Weasel? Having fun with Prince Charming?´ Draco said, sarcastically. `Dream come true?´ Ginny blushed furiously and then looked at him.

`What do you want?!´ she yelled. Harry looked at him with a questioning look.

`Well, certainly not you!´ Draco said, smirking. `So, get out of my sight!´ Ginny´s eyes widened with anger. She was about to jump on Draco, who was still smiling maliciously, when Harry went in front of her.

`You slimy git! I´ve heard enough!´ he yelled, while looking at Malfoy. `Do you want to take this outside?!´ Draco smirked.

`Sure and be prepared, Potter.´ They both walked towards the huge doors of the Great Hall. Malfoy´s group followed them which caused Harry´s group to follow them as well. Malfoy looked at Harry and then rolled his eyes. He stopped walking and then turned around.

`All of you!´ he said in a very demanding voice. `Stay here! Anybody who dare follow me will answer to me!´ This made all his housemates stop. He looked at Harry and then continued walking towards the door.

`Ron, Hermione, I´ll be fine. Stay here.´ Ron hesitated for awhile but gave in to Harry´s request after a few minutes. He smiled and then followed Malfoy.

Malfoywas waiting impatiently outside for Harry, and then sighed when he saw him out of the door at last. `What the hell took you so long, SLIMY GIT?!´

`Shut up, Malfoy! You just ruined my night!´ Harry asked, looking annoyed and intrigued at the same time. `Now, what do you need?!´

`Well, Angelina´s leaving tomorrow,´ said Malfoy, while playing with his wand.

`What do you mean leaving tomorrow? She´s leaving on February.´

`No, William told me that her mother wants her home soon.´

`What? I thought that they disowned her? Your cousins know about Angelina?!´

`Yes and well, apparently there was a change of plan--- they, well, agreed to keep her--- in one condition.´ Harry looked at him, curiously.

`Condition? What condition?´ he asked, looking disturbed.

`Well, fortunately, they didn´t want the baby killed--- anymore.´ Dracosaid, while sitting down on the floor. `Well, they just want to - er - have the baby adopted by---´ Harry´s jaw dropped.

`What?!´ he asked, looking outraged. `Adopted? Her parents´ are mad! Angelina agreed?´

`Well, at least they wouldn´t kill the baby---´ Malfoy said, sighing. `Look, Potter. Does she have a choice? By the way, Will and Harry want to say HI.´ =====================================================================

Fred and Angelina have been dancing for quite awhile now and so they decided to sit on a chair, have a drink and rest. Angelina kept on glancing at the door to check on Harry and Draco, when she felt someone staring at her.

`Fred, didn´t your mum tell you that it´s very impolite to stare?´ she said, while taking a sip of juice from her glass. Fred smiled at her, which nearly made her melt.

`Well, forgive me Miss, but I couldn´t help myself.´ He said. He took a sip of juice from his glass and then stared at her again. `Something I learned from "Humongous Bighead" Percy!´

`FRED!!!´ This made Fred laugh. He placed his arm around her shoulders and then pulled her closer. `I like Percy. He´s nice---´

`Well, you can´t blame me, can you? You can´t go to a ball and then look extraordinarily stunning and expect me to not pay attention, can you?´ Angelina smiled and then planted a soft kiss on his cheek.

`You shouldn´t look this good---´ he said, grinning. `It´s unfair to all the other girls.´ Angelina looked at him and then sighed.

`I love you, Fred.´

`I love you, Angelina.´

`So you are leaving tomorrow, right?´ He said, while closing his eyes. This made Angelina tighten her embrace from Fred.

`Yes,´ she said and then kissed him gently on the lips. `I´ll miss you--- very much. I love you, okay. Always remember that.´

`Don´t worry. I´ll see you again when the holidays are over and I love you, too.´ Fred loosened his embrace and looked at her. `You talk as if you aren´t going to see me ever again.´

`Want to dance?´ she asked with a very huge grin, in an attempt to change the subject. Fred looked at her and then smiled.

`Actually,´ she said with a coy smile. `Why don´t we go somewhere where we can be alone?´ Fred looked at her teasingly and then narrowed his eyes.

`I want to spend my last night here at Hogwarts with you,´ she said.=============================================================

JANUARY OF 7^TH YEAR, HOGWARTS

`Fred!´ Katie yelled. `What is the matter with you?!´ She looked at all her teammates, who just shrugged. She turned to Harry and George and then mouthed, `What happened? Is something wrong?´

Fred finally snapped out of his thoughts and then looked at them. He looked extremely confused and disturbed. He ran his hands through his hair.

`Are you okay, mate?´ George asked. `What´s wrong?´ Fred ignored George, and looked at Katie and Alicia instead. This made the two girls feel uncomfortable.

`Is Angelina, okay?´ he asked. The two girls looked at each other. `Did she tell you anything?´

`Fred?!´Alicia said, looking annoyed and is starting to raise her voice. `We didn´t receive any letters from her either! If you---´ but she was interrupted by Fred.

`I know! I know! But did she tell you anything that concerns anything?´ He asked, standing up. `Does she have a problem that she didn´t want you to tell me?´

`No, why?Another fight?´ Katie asked who looked really confused. `That girl! When is she coming back, anyway?´ Fred looked at her and then sat down again.

`Professor Mcgonagall talked to me this morning,´ he said, looking glum. `She said that we have to get a new chaser.´ Everybody looked utterly surprised.

`New chaser? Why?´ George asked. Harry swallowed hard upon hearing all their reactions. He felt sorry for him. `Angelina will be back before the match.´

`I told her that Angelina´s just on extended holiday,´ he continued, `but she said that - that - she´s not coming back. She´s not coming back for some personal reasons. She said that if we want to win our match against Slytherin, we must find one soon.´ Katie and Alicia raised their eyebrows.

`I told her that, that´s impossible! She, however, insisted that she´s not coming back. What is going on? Are you sure that you don´t know anything?´ he said with a pleading voice.

`No, Fred,´ was Katie´s reply. `I swear.´

`Me too.´Alicia said. ==========================================================================

MAY OF 7^TH YEAR, HOGWARTS

`I´m just so sick and tired of writing to someone, who won´t write me back!´ Fred yelled. `If this is what she wants, THAT IS MORE THAN FINE WITH ME!´ He threw his quill and his roll of parchment on the wall and then stormed out of the common room, while Lee and George stared at him.

`Who cares if she doesn´t write to me?´ he said to himself while walking rapidly.

For quite awhile now, Fred has been waiting for a letter from Angelina. How his eyes would light up if he sees an owl flying towards his direction, and how his eyes would change as soon as he sees the owl drop the letter to someone else, and how he sighs and sinks down on his chair every time that happens.

`Maybe she´s just really busy,´ he said to himself. `NO! She´s really ignoring you, Fred!´ He kept on walking and walking. He didn´t know where he wanted to go, but for some reasons, his feet brought him to the Astronomy Tower. He looked around and smiled at the memories that he had with Angelina. He sat on the floor and then conjured a roll of parchment, quill and ink bottle.

`One last letter,´ he said to himself. `If she still won´t write back, well then--- I can´t do anything about it anymore.´ He started writing his last letter.

Dear Angelina,

How are you? Look, I´m really sorry if I´m disturbing you. But if you could please, just send me one letter. I don´t care whatever is in it, as long as it´s from you. It´s been five months, since you left and I haven´t heard from you since. I´m just really worried. You left without saying goodbye and you told me that you may be on extended vacation. A few weeks after, Mcgonagall talked to me and told me to get a new chaser! Can you just imagine how I felt?

Please, I just want to hear that you are fine. Just one letter, Angelina.

Much Love from Fred

`Please write back, Angelina.´ He whispered to himself. ===========================================================

SWITZERLAND

`Oh! Look!´ Angelina said, looking excited. `My baby is kicking me!´ She grabbed her maid´s hand and then placed it on her tummy. The maid smiled.

`I think that you should finish your breakfast now and get ready. Your teacher will be arriving soon,´ said the maid, who stood up and began arranging her bed.

`Yes, Matilda!´ she said, while finishing her French toast. `Do I - er - have any letters?´ Matilda looked at her and then sighed.

`Yes,´ was her reply. `It´s from HIM again. Ms. Angelina, I have cared for you since you were three, and not that I´m trying to tell you what to do, but I really think that you should write him back.´ Angelina´s eyes became sad. Upon realizing what she just did, Matilda immediately changed the topic.

`By the way Miss, your teacher called and she said that she won´t be able to teach you anymore because she has just been appointed as a new Headmistress at Beauxbatons for the next year.´ She took out her wand and then conjured a hair brush and then moved towards Angelina and began brushing her hair.

`I know. She told me that already. She also told me that she carefully chose a replacement for her and that she trained him herself. She also said that this young man is simply the best.´ Angelina said, while sighing. `I really hope that he is nice.´ ======================================================

`Miss Angelina?´ her butler said, while peeping through the door. `Your teacher is here.´

`Thanks, Brian. Please send him in. Will you leave the door open for him, please?´ Brian obeyed and then walked away. `Thanks.´ Angelina stood up, arranged her school books and after a few minutes, she heard a soft knock on the door. `Please come in. It´s open,´ she said while grabbing a pillow.

`Good morning,´ the man said, while walking towards her. She was about to turn around to face her teacher but her book fell. She carefully leaned down but the man quickly got the book for her. `Oh, please allow me,´ he said as he handed her the book. `Madam Beaumont sent me here to replace her. I´m Percy Weasley by the way. I actually work for the Ministry of Magic in the UK, but we aren´t---´

`Percy? Weasley?´ she said, finally turning around to face him and biting her lower lip. `Percy Weasley?´ He frowned and then looked at her curiously.

`Miss Johnson?´ Percy said with a confused expression on his face. `Angelina Johnson? Gryffindor?´

`Yes,´ was all that she managed to say. He placed his materials on the table and thought, `How come she´s not at Hogwarts? What is she doing here in Switzerland?´ He quickly snapped out of his thoughts and then grabbed a chair. She was still looking at him and hugging her pillow.

`Angelina? I don´t understand. What -- How come - I know that it´s none of my business but Fred is my brother. You understand that, right?´ he said, looking puzzled and formal. He stood up. `Fred has been really worried about you. He kept on asking me and my father if we knew anything about you. He would owl my mother just to ask if he has a letter. He didn´t hear from you for months, for months. I thought that you two are fine already. What´s wrong? Perhaps, I can help....´ Angelina sighed.

`Percy,´ she said, looking unsure. `Please sit down.´ He looked at her with a very odd expression but obeyed. `I can´t go to Hogwarts.´

`And why is that?´ he asked, frowning. He stood up again. She breathed nervously and then opened her mouth but no voice came out. `Just tell me, please,´ he said.

`Well,´ she said, while letting go of the pillow. Percy was staring at her straight in the eyes that he failed to see her stomach.

`Well, what?´ he asked curiously. Angelina sighed and then pointed to her stomach which caused Percy to look down. His eyes widened and then blinked a million times. He didn´t know what to say. He opened his mouth but closed it again.

`I am 7 months pregnant,´ she said while rubbing her stomach.

`Is it---´ Percy asked but immediately closed his mouth. Angelina smiled.

`Yes,´ she said. `It´s Fred´s.´ He looked at Percy and then leaned on a chair. This alarmed Percy.

`What´s wrong?´ he asked while offering her some assistance.

`Oh nothing!´ she said immediately. `The baby just kicked me again!´ Percy´s eyes beamed.

`It did? Very hyperactive! Just like Fred! I am going to be an uncle. Did you know that this child will be the very first Weasley of the third generation? The very first grandchild of my parents.´

`Yeah,´ she said, smiling. `And actually, grandchildren. They are twins.´ Percy helped her to a chair and then sat down as well.

`Twins?Why don´t you tell him?´ he said. `He has a right to know.´ Angelina looked at him with sad eyes.

`I asked him if he wanted kids,´ she said, `and he said that he wanted to enjoy life first. He also said that he´s still young and there´s so much more that he wanted to see and do.´

`I see,´ he said, while murmuring bad words to Fred. `But Angelina, you see. He´s only 17. Asking him a question related to the situation is different from telling him about the situation. Do you understand me?´

`Yes,´ was her reply. `I´ll tell him someday, when the right time comes.´ ===========================================================

JULY

Angelina just finished writing her test in Divination. He stood up and then handed her paper to Percy. When Percy finished marking the test, he looked up and saw her walking in the room with her right hand on her waist.

`Very good, Angelina!´ he said, beaming. `93%! That is definitely splendid!´ Angelina smiled.

`Thank you! I studied really hard for this test---´ but she was interrupted by Percy´s frown.

`Why is your dress wet?!´ He stood up and walked towards her. Angelina looked down and then gasped.

`MY WATER BROKE!!!´ she shrieked. `MATILDA! BRIAN! HELP ME!´ Percy just stood in front of her. He had no clue on what he should do.

`Is it your due date?´ he asked, nervously.

`YES!!!´ ========================================================================

`Draco!´ Prince William shouted, as soon as Malfoy got out of the car. `Hurry up!´

`Yes! Yes!´ he shouted back. He walked towards the door of the Dursleys.

*KNOCK*KNOCK*KNOCK*KNOCK*KNOCK*KNOCK*KNOCK*KNOCK*KNOCK*KNOCK*KNOCK*KNOCK*KNOCK*KNOCK*KNOCK*KNOCK*KNOCK*KNOCK*KNOCK*

`BLOODY HELL?!´ Uncle Vernon said, while walking towards the door. `Coming! Coming!´

`I am a - er - FRIEND of Harry´s from school,´ Dracosaid, wincing. `I would like to talk to him.´ Uncle Vernon´s eyes narrowed.

`THERE IS NO HARRY POTTER HERE!!!´ he roared. Harry must have heard his voice because after a few seconds, he came rushing down the stairs.

`Malfoy?!´ Harry said. `What are you doing here?!´ Draco´s eyes narrowed at Uncle Vernon.

`Listen, FLABBY LOOKING MUGGLE!´ he said, coolly and lazily. `Nobody screams at me. You better change your tone. You don´t know what I´m capable of. And no Harry Potter here, you say?´ He looked at Harry, who was forcing himself not to laugh at the look on Uncle Vernon´s, Aunt Petunia´s and Dudley´s face, and then back to Uncle Vernon again. `WHAT DO YOU CALL THAT, TEAPOT LOOKING MUDBLOOD?´

`GO AWAY!´ he yelled. Malfoy took out his wand and then played with it with his right hand. He smirked.

`Make me, STOUT MUGGLE,´ he said, while giving more emphasis on the word "muggle".

`I know that you can´t do magic when not in school!´ Aunt Petunia said, looking calm but also terrified. `You´ll get expelled!´ Draco Malfoy´s eyes narrowed and then smirked again.

`Oh really, now WALKING MUDBLOOD STICK?´ he said, lazily. `Good point.´ Uncle Vernon was looking at the rude boy straight in the eyes, when two tall figures appeared on his back. `I probably can´t do magic, right now. BUT THEY CAN.´ Uncle Vernon´s eyes widened upon seeing Prince William and Prince Harry with the same smirk that the rude boy had.

`This is my cousin, Draco Malfoy, and he is a friend of Harry´s from school,´ Prince Harry said.

`And we are picking Harry up,´ Prince William said. `Do you have a problem with that?´ The whole Dursley family stuttered.

`Oh no, your Highnesses,´ they said. `Of course not.´

`Harry! Hurry up and go with them!´ Uncle Vernon said. He invited them in and treated them like gold. Harry immediately changed his clothes and then went downstairs.

`Bye!´ he said. The Dursley´s waved goodbye as if Harry was their favourite person on earth. Dracolooked at Uncle Vernon and Aunt Petunia and then smirked. This made them step back.

`Oh, by the way,´ he said. `I´ll see you again---when I´m not underage anymore.´ He looked at Dudley and then snorted. `Maybe I can make you loose weight, FLABBY MUGGLE, JR.´

`Malfoy!´ Harry yelled. `Come on!´

`Coming!´ he yelled back. He took one last look at the Dursleysand then walked off arrogantly while laughing his head off and playing with his wand. `I´ll see you again, I promise.´

`DRACO MALFOY!´ Harry yelled. `HURRY UP!´ This made Malfoyrun like lightning towards his cousin´s car. He sat comfortably beside Harry at the back.

`So, what means of transportation will we be using to get to Switzerland?´ Malfoyasked. `FASTEST transportation.´

`No portkeys, please!´ Prince Harry whined.

`Is this a flying car?´ Harry asked. `We could use this, but we´ll get there tomorrow.´

`No, it isn´t a flying car,´ Prince William said. `This is my grandmother´s Rolls Royce. It was the most convenient car to use that´s why we used it. We just grabbed any key that we could find.´

`I don´t like flying cars,´ said Prince Harry who was shaking his head.

`Tomorrow?!´ Draco said, looking at him as if he was crazy. `We can´t arrive there tomorrow! It may be too late!´ Harry rolled his eyes. `Why do you need to have a license to apparate?!!´

`I have a brilliant idea!´ Prince Willaim exclaimed which caused the three boys to look at him. `You may get dirty, though, since the fireplace in my room, well, isn´t cleaned yet.´

`LET´S GO!´ They all yelled excitedly. =================================================================

SWITZERLAND

*CHUDUG*

`Ouch!´ Malfoy yelled. `Who on earth would put rocks on their fireplace?! OUCH! OUCH! My neck! You broke it! YOU´VE KILLED ME! YOU´VE KILLED ME!´ Harry was now looking at him with killer eyes.

`Hurry up you stupid great prat! Oh, Malfoy! Look! It´s BUCKBEAK!!!´ he yelled, while getting off of Malfoy. Malfoy started scanning the place, moving his head wildly with his wand in his hand.

`Where, where?!!!´

Harry was now pushing him out of the fireplace. `Aren´t you suppose to get the hell out of the fireplace as soon as you can to avoid accidents?!´

`There were rocks!´ he yelled. `I hurt my feet!´

`Now, hurry up and get out of here before your cousins get here,´ he yelled, still pushing him out of the fireplace. `If you don´t, you´ll really break your neck and I will, too!´ Draco pushed him back once they were done crawling out of the fireplace. They both looked up upon seeing a pair of legs. It was Brian and he sneezed.

`I´m so glad that you made it, Master Draco,´ he said, while putting his hanky in his pocket. `Mr. Harry Potter, it´s my great pleasure to meet you.´ Harry smiled awkwardly and then reached out to shake his hand. A few minutes later, Prince Harry arrived and then followed by Prince William.

`Prince William Arthur Philip Louis Schlesweig [the list goes on and on and on... and finally.......] Mountbatten-Windsor! Shame on you! That´s the most disgusting fireplace that I´ve ever seen!´ Prince Harry yelled. `We should have used the fireplace in my bedroom! I thought you were joking!´ Prince William chuckled.

`The name is too long!´ Draco whispered to Harry. `Don´t you think?!´ Harry just chuckled.

`Sorry!´ he said while walking towards the mirror. He ran his hands through his hair. `Oh my! I didn´t know that I also look good with black hair! Hi Brian! Would you mind bringing us to Ange?´ ==================================================================

SWISS HOSPITAL

Everybody was staring at the four tall young men who were following Brian. Brian was the only one who looked normal. They all looked dirty and dusty. Harry´s, Draco´s, Prince William´s and Prince Harry´s hair was now covered with gray dust. They looked like they were 80 years old with the skin of a 16 year old.

`I can´t believe that I am walking in public like this!´ Dracohissed. Prince William and Prince Harry waved at the people, who gave them odd looks, which caused for the four of them to laugh. `WE STILL LOOK WAY BETTER THAN ALL OF YOU, even if we look like trash right now!´

`They don´t recognize us!´ Prince Harry whispered. `Isn´t that impressive?´

`This is it,´ Brian said, while opening the door. They all went in. They saw Angelina lying in bed with her eyes closed and she was breathing deeply. They smiled at her upon seeing her open her eyes.

`Hey!´ she whispered. `I´m so glad that you are here.´ But she was interrupted by Percy.

`Harry?!Malfoy?!´ he said with wide eyes and raised eyebrows. `What are you doing here?´ He looked at Prince William and Prince Harry and then said, `And who are you?´

`Oh, Percy,´ she whispered. `This is Prince William and Prince Harry. They are my friends.´

`Who is Percy?´ Prince William asked.

`Fred´s older brother.´ She whispered and then closed her eyes again. She twitched. She was biting her lip and breathing deeply. `Ouch--ouch--ouch--ICE PLEASE!´

`What´s happening?´ Prince William mouthed to Percy, while handing her more ice.

`Contractions,´ he mouthed back. Angelina began to relax again and then smiled at them.

`Why are you all so dirty?´ Percy asked. `You all look so - er- gray.´

`Well, William here,´ Malfoy said, `has the most disgusting fireplace that you´ll ever see in your entire life!´ This made everybody chuckle.

`I just came from Zonko´s, okay!´ he said defensively. `I just can´t let anybody get in my bedroom.´ The doctor came in.

`I see your friends are here now,´ she said. `You are doing great Ms. Johnson! Very good! Now, relax. When I say push, you push, alright! Push with all your might.´

`Yes,´ Angelina squeaked, while breathing deeply. The door opened once again, and Angelina´s mother and sisters came in.

`Are you, alright?´ she asked, while brushing stray hairs from her forehead. `Daddy, can´t come because he has a meeting.´

`Ina? Are you alright?´ her 13 year old sister, Lady Alexia, asked. `I missed you.´

`Thanks for coming, Lexi, and I missed you, too!´

`Ina! Does it hurt?´ her 20 year old sister, Lady Abigail, asked.

`Yes, Abby! Sure does---´ was her reply.

`Ready?´ the doctor asked. `Angelina, let´s PUSH!´ She pushed hard while holding her mother´s and her sisters´ hand. Tears came down her face while doing this. She was biting her lower lip. Abigail and Alexia began to cry as well.

`PUSH!´ the doctor yelled again. `You are doing great! PUSH!!!´Angelina was sweating like mad, already. It hurt so much.

*CHUDUG*

`PERCY!´ Harry yelled. `Ennervate!´

`Take me outside, Harry,´ he said, looking really pale. `I - I - can´t watch it----´ Harry grabbed Percy´s shoulders.

`Malfoy!´ he yelled. `Help me!´ This made Malfoy sigh and then placed Percy´s left arm around his shoulder for support. The two of them took Percy outside.

`PUSH!!!´ the doctor yelled again. Angelina pushed again, wincing. `HERE´S ONE!´ Angelina breathed and then smiled when she heard a loud cry. `It´s a boy, Ms. Johnson!´

`I´m not looking at this!´ Prince William said. `I´m not looking at this!´

*CHUDUG*

`WILLIAM!´ Draco and Prince Harry yelled.

`Ennervate!´ Dracosaid, frowning. `Are you okay?´

`I feel sick,´ Prince William said, dizzily. `Help me. Please take me outside. I can´t watch this.´

`Stay with Weasley then!´ Draco hissed, looking annoyed. `Come on!´ He placed Prince William´s left arm on his shoulder for support and then went outside. He helped him to a chair and then immediately went back inside.

`PUSH!!!´ the doctor yelled once more. `PUSH!!!´ Angelina obeyed with all her might.

`Bloody hell?´ Draco hissed to Harry. `Push?! There´s another one?´

`It´s twins!´ Harry hissed back. `Didn´t you know?´

`No!´

`Alright!´ the doctor yelled. `Here´s the other one!´ She smiled and then cried upon hearing two crying babies.

`They are so loud,´ she said, still trembling and crying. The nurses handed her both babies wrapped in blue blankets and then she held them tightly. She cried hard, upon seeing how beautiful they were. She kissed them both on the forehead and then touched their cheeks. Her mother looked at her with an indescribable expression on her face. She was about to get the baby from her when she looked at her with watery eyes.

`Mother,´ she said, while holding her twins. `I´m so sorry but I can´t - I can´t give my babies away.´ =============================================
