Gen's PoV

"Draco," I took a deep breath in, and twirled my light blonde hair nervously, "We're expecting." I cracked an eyelid to see Draco's shocked and scared face.

"What? No, no. Genevieve, that's - that's not happening! We're sixteen, Genevieve!" he cried, looking worried.

"No, we cannot be parents. We aren't even technical adults yet."

"Draco...I...I thought you'd be happy, no, don't...don't be angry at me..."  

Draco began to yell, rocking our compartment, since we were riding to the school.  

Rae was sitting with her three Hufflepuff buddies and Bella, and her now-steady boyfriend, Seamus. As far as I knew, her boyfriend wasn't yelling at her for such an unplanned thing.  

"Draco! It's not my fault!" I shouted at him. Draco looked taken back by my outburst, since the baby, my hormones were outta whack, they're probably ten times worse since I'm a veela. 

Draco calmed down and took my hand, since we were sitting side-by-side.

"I'm sorry, Gen," he seemed cooled down some.

"I am, I really am; how...how long?"

"How long have I been? A month or so along...so we've got, basically, until the year's end. Then we'll have our baby sometime probably in May or June"

"Leo Scorpius Malfoy."

"Never!" I joked, the worries of the just previous fight.

"No, I've put thought into our daughter's name! It's going to be Lucy Lyra Malfoy!"  

My Draco pressed his forehead against mine.

"I love you, Genevieve Ellie Grindelwald." his eyes darted away.  

"I was going to ask you, this year on Christmas Eve, since I'm turning seventeen soon," his gray eyes refocused on my blue ones.

"The story of our love is only beginning. I remember when you called me a mud-blood the first time we met, I have to admit I was shocked, no one ever would dare say that to me-but you did; you're different, like me. I remember all those times when people didn't believe in our love, but look where we are now. Two years, and we're still going strong. Let's write our own happy ending, together.Will you, Genevieve Ellie Grindelwald, m-marry me?" with that, he pulled out a box that looked brand-new, as if he'd bought it only yesterday. It was beautiful, with a platinum band and a glittering, glistening diamond cut into pieces to look like a blooming rose.  

"Wha - Draco, yes! You don't even need to ask me!" he smiled widely and sealed this deal with a kiss. Triumphantly, I thought, One above Rae! I bet Seamus isn't asking her to marry him.

Rae's PoV

As I settled myself between Adam and Kevin, Seamus and Bella sat next to each other, talking. Even though Seamus and I were steady, he still seemed as if he'd drop me for Bella in a minute.  

Even Adam said it, though he had a bit of a crush on me. Kevin liked Gen. Anyway, I knew that.

"So, Rae, how was your summer?" asked Kevin, since we'd made a full cycle of summers.

I shrugged, "Gen and I basically had a falling out...especially with her baby coming."

"Gen's expecting?" cried Bella, perking up.

"Well...I'm guessing so...we haven't talked lately, and we live in the same home,"

"Then it must be one big house." Adam said jokingly.
