Two pink lines were staring back at me, I couldn’t believe it. What am I going to do? Things weren’t supposed to happen this way, we are in the middle of a war for Merlin’s sake! I’m not even sure who the father is, but I already know I am determined to keep my child no matter what. It’ll be hard and the order may see me as a traitor but I was hurt, I still hurt. Everyone else in the order are well protected as are their families but they didn’t even think to protect my family.
So I did what I had to do in order to keep my parents safe, I made them forget me and I sent them away. Only I couldn’t bring myself to leave our family home just yet, so I told Harry and the Weasley family I would leave to stay with them a week before Bill and Fluer’s wedding. I told them my parents wanted to go on a family trip to Greece to see my mother’s place of birth. Only that wasn’t true, I obliviated them a day after I came home for summer break. I knew that everyday they stayed at our home and still knew me as their daughter put them at risk.
****************** Flash Back *****************
After sending my parents away I just wanted to numb the pain, so I got dressed and got ready to go out. I dressed in my favorite pair of ripped skinny jeans, they happened to be light blue acid washed jeans, and an emerald green corset with silver fastenings. For shoes I wore sparkling silver heels, I used my wand to charm my hair dark red and curl it into big frizz less curls. I kept my make up simple with black winged eyeliner, mascara, and my favorite plumping lipgloss.
I soon found myself in the center of London at a crowded club. I thought for sure no one would know me here and I would be able to blend in. Well I was right for the first hour, but then while I was lost in the music I suddenly found two pairs of hands on my body. I snapped my eyes open and in front of me was a man whose face I’d seen on wanted posters all over the Wizarding World, Rabastan Lestrange. I quickly turned behind me to see who the other man was, it was the face of a man I hadn’t seen since my third year, Thorfinn Rowle.
Before I could run Thorfinn gripped my waist a bit tighter, leaned down to whisper in my ear, come on beautiful don’t be too surprised I did promise back in my seventh year I would come find you once you were of age. He got even closer and said, “you look beautiful tonight my little lioness but I love your natural wild chestnut curl more.” Soon I found myself being led away by Thorfinn with Lestrange following behind us. We get outside the club and to the nearest alley and suddenly Thorfinn is kissing meme passionately, I get caught up in the kiss but then I push him away coming to my senses. I asked, “Thorfinn what are you doing here and why is HE here with you?”
T: “Awe, I’m hurt Mine, I told you I loved you and there was no way I was letting you go. Did you think I was lying? Bast is here because he’s become my best friend.”
H: “What was I supposed to think when you stopped writing my fifth year? Besides we’re on opposite sides of this war, I got the message loud and clear that you were done waiting. Bast? Isn’t he one of your precious Dark Lord’s most loyal?”
I started walking away but I’m blocked by Thorfinn, he gently tugs on the delicate chain that is around my neck. Softly he whispers “you’re still wearing it.”
H: “Ofcourse Thor, it’s one of my most cherished items, it never comes off.”
T: “Mine, I told you what this means in our world, you said you understood that when you accepted it. It’s a promise, one that means I intend to marry you.”
H: “Thor we were just kids and that was before we were on opposite sides of the war, I wasn’t going to hold you to that promise.”
I started to walk away again thinking we were done. I had loved Thor so much, still do in fact but I had to be realistic. With us on opposite sides of the war I just don’t see how we could work out anymore. I made it all the way to my apperation point when my hand was grabbed. I should have known Thor just wouldn’t let me go, he never did like not getting his way.
T: “Come on Mine, you know me, I would never do anything to willingly hurt you. You think I wanted to join the Dark Lord? My father threatened you and my mother, said he’d kill you both if I didn’t join! I made my choice to protect the both of you, but not once did I ever stop loving you!”
H: “Why didn’t you tell me? I could have helped you! What of your friend? Won’t he go straight to the Dark Lord with this?”
Before Thor could even answer Rabastan surprises me by quietly answering.
R: “Actually I was forced to join by my Dear Brother and his demented wife Bella. I never wanted to join but Bella and Rod tortured me until I agreed and even then I was near death before I gave in.”
T: “Mine, I know you must have at least a dozen questions still but can we take this somewhere less public?”
I know I shouldn’t have but this was Thor, my Thor, before I could think better of it I heard myself saying, “fine, but we’re going to mine.”
I grabbed both Thor and Bast before they could react and apperated to my parents house. Once there I went straight inside leaving them to follow. I was already in the kitchen pouring each of us a glass of wine, left over from dinners my parents held. I went to the living room with the drinks and handed them to the guys. I asked Thor, “how will this even work? It’s not like we can openly be together, we are on opposite sides of the war.”
T: “Mine lets Just enjoy the time we have together right now, I missed you Mine.”
H: “I missed you too Thor, but we aren’t totally alone.”
T: “About that… how would you feel about including Bast in our time together? It is completely up to you, just know I trust Bast completely.”
R: “Darling if you are uncomfortable with my being here just say so. I just wanted a chance to get to know you and Thor said it would be up to you.”
I thought about it and said to myself this could be fun. I ignored the voice in my head that told me not to do this, that to do this would be a betrayal of my closest friends’ trust in me. The Order didn’t care for my parents safety or mine, in their eyes we weren’t important enough, it was the bitter truth and I’ve accepted that truly I have. However I do admit it does sting, so I decided to do this for myself. I think I more than deserve a little bit of frivolity.
H: “Okay.”
R & T: “Okay?”
H: “Yes, let’s cherish the time we have together, we can include Bast.”
The night continued and we talked some more. It started with Thor getting a little handsy and then us kissing. One thing led to another and somewhere in between all that Bast joined in on the fun and well you can guess what we got up to. We stayed up until the early hours of the morning, and then got some sleep. When I woke up I was alone in bed except for a note signed by both, it said, “until we can meet again love.”
************** End of Flash Back *************
Here I am a few weeks later starting my journey as a young mother alone, at least for now. Unplanned as my little one may be, one thing I am certain of is that it is already so very loved by me.
