Not talking to Ginny was getting easier. I had a really hard time with it at first because I was used to her getting me water after a bit of throwing up in the mornings but I was managing. Neville felt torn and I felt bad for doing that to him but I just didn't want to deal with Ginny and her judgements. I understood where she was coming from but her apology wasn't even genuine. It was like she was sorry for saying it to me but not sorry for thinking that way. I missed her and Draco's absences became more frequent, so I spent most of my time playing with Ella. My lovely little cat loved me endlessly, until I forgot to feed her on schedule at 8 pm every night. She was funny and she made me think of Tonks and Lupin. Tonks sent me some vitamins and I was grateful for them because I wasn't too keen on the nutrition value of our food here.

My skirt was getting tighter around where it usually hung on my waist so I had to pull it up to where my body narrowed. Sometimes it would pinch my lower abdomen when I sat down which was annoyingly uncomfortable but I was showing slightly now since I was two months along. Ginny was right. I tucked my hair behind my ear and scanned the room for anyone before looking at myself sideways in the mirror. It mostly looked like I was slouching and bloated but I was showing a little. I could hide it very well still because of the ever present cold at Hogwarts so I wasn't too worried. I placed my hand low on my abdomen, barely able to cup my stomach.

"I love you, baby." I whispered, gingerly rubbing my stomach holding my baby that was probably the size of a cherry. I wanted to know if her heartbeat was okay but I couldn't just up and leave Hogwarts. I mean really, I couldn't go up to McGonagall and be like "I need to leave to go to a doctor's appointment. See you later!" I was worried as it is but I tried to take care of myself and I found myself tired all the time. Frequently having to get up to pee was killer. I mean, do you know how much energy that takes? You have to sit up, push yourself to get up, walk, sit down, do your business and come back to bed. So exhausting. I chuckled at my newfound laziness as two letters flitted in and I pulled down my loose t-shirt. I grabbed one and opened it, seeing Harry's script.

We're alright. Mostly just wandering about trying to find another one. Ron and Hermione are always bickering like a married couple. They're mental. Anyways happy early easter! Wish I could be there. I miss you and Ginny loads. Be safe.

I laughed at Harry's terrible attempt at drawing a smiley face. God he was terrible at drawing too. Opening the other letter, my heart fluttered at Draco's script.

I miss you terribly. These meetings are just a reminder that this is my life now, even though I don't want it. My father is just getting by with You-Know-Who. He's always mocking him and I know my father is vile but it bothers me. The way he talks is so cold and unnerving, I can't listen for too long. I'll be back soon, hopefully tonight. Pay close attention to your bracelet. I love you.

I folded Draco's note and left the one from Harry in the fireplace to burn. I was excited to see Draco but I was secretly hoping he wouldn't notice my pudgy stomach. If I sucked it in maybe that would help. You can't suck in a baby, dumbass. I shook my head and went back to my bed to wait for Draco's arrival.
