Chapter 13

Okay, I'm soooo sorry it took me so long to update! I was on a vacation and I didn't have my laptop. But I made an extra long chapter for y'alls. It's 2838 words. I hope you like it! 
                                                                          ~Emmy



"I'm pregnant." Adria said in disbelief. She sounded like she was still testing out the word on her tongue. 

"You're- Oh my Merlin you're pregnant!" Juliane exclaimed, jumping up and hugging the still shocked girl. Adria slowly hugged back. 

"What am I supposed to tell Charlie?" She asked. Juliane pulled back and looked Adria in the eyes.

"You tell him, you are having a child and that if he minds, it's his problem." Juliane said. "But I don't think he'll mind." 

"I hope he doesn't." Adria said. 

"He won't. Charlie is such a sucker for things like this." Juliane shrugged. "Anyways, let's get back. We need to leave in a few hours to go to the last task for the Triwizard tournament." 

"Alright. I suppose we should get back. I still don't know how I'm going to tell Charlie." Adria sighed and stood up. They apparated back to the house. Adria immediately raced to the bathroom and proceeded to vomit into the toilet. 

"Oh Dria!" Juliane closed the door and held her friend's hair back, as she threw up all the food she had eaten that day. There was a knock on the door as Adria finished. 

"Adria, are you okay?" Charlie sounded concerned as he stood outside. 

"I'm fine Charlie." Adria said, getting up and brushing her teeth. She opened the door a crack and peered out. Charlie stared right back at her. He slowly pushed the door open. 

"Dria?" He asked. 

"I'll leave you two alone." Juliane said as she sped away. Adria glared at Juliane as she rounded the corner but turned to Charlie anyways. 

"Actually, I'm not fine. Well I'm scared." Adria said. 

"What's that matter!? Are you hurt? Is someone trying to get to you?" Charlie asked a million questions at once. 

"No Charlie. I'm just scared you won't want to be a father." Adria said quietly. 

"Be a father? Well I would- Wait..." Charlie stared at Adria in shock. His eyes flicked to her stomach and back to her. "Are you...?" 

"Charlie. I'm pregnant." Adria said, preparing herself for what he had to say next. 

"You're... Merlin! I'm gonna be a father. A FATHER!" Charlie shouted, picking up Adria and spinning her around. 

"Put me down Charles!" Adria laughed. 

"Yes! I knew he would take the news well!" Juliane yelled from around the corner. 

"Jules!" Adria groaned. Both Juliane and Bill came from their hiding spot, heads down, ashamed. 

"Sorry Dria, we just had to see!" Juliane apologized, but she was smiling as she said it. 

"You aren't sorry." Adria grumbled, but her eyes shown with happiness. 

"You're right, I'm not. Because you are pregnant and Charlie is happy. That's what you want." Juliane said. 

"Now, we just need to tell the family." Charlie said, still excited that he was going to be a father. 

"No, we need to get ready to go to Hogwarts." Bill said. "By the way, congrats Adria." 




The hour had finally come. The four graduates were going back to Hogwarts. Juliane was excited, Bill and Charlie were happy, and Adria was nervous. "Guys, Molly says we need to go." Charlie said, popping his head in the doorway of Bill and Juliane's open door. 

"I'm nearly ready. Just let me get m-Where did I put my wand." Juliane frowned, moving some of the things on the floor away.

"You really are a horrid wizard Little Anne." Bill said, coming out of the bathroom, and pulling Juliane's wand out of her hair. She had used it to hold her hair into a bun and forgotten about it. Her long, red hair tumbled past her shoulders and to her lower back, some of the strands falling in her face. She glared at Bill through her hair, and quickly gathered the loose curls up into a pony tail. 

"I'm not a horrid wizard, I just misplace my wand a lot." Juliane said, walking down the stairs. She put her wand in her boot where nobody could see it. 

"Come along, come along. We need to leave." Molly rushed them all to the fireplace. 

"Alright Molly! We're coming!" Adria chuckled. Charlie was right by her side, making sure she was okay. "Charles, I'm not dying." 

"I know, I know. Are you sure you want to go tonight? And not just... Rest?" Charlie asked. 

"Charlie! It's only the first few weeks! I'm perfectly. Fine!" Adria exclaimed. Molly watched the couple. Charlie seemed to be the one who was cautious and careful, whilst Adria was the one who didn't care, yet she was still careful, and would stay away from danger if it was coming towards her. Adria would do anything for her family, and Molly could see that. Of course, the young adults had told her that Adria was pregnant as soon as they found out and Molly ecstatic. The thought of having a grandchild to spoil, made her so happy, and Adria would make a great mother. 

"Alright lovebird's, let's go!" Juliane exclaimed, rolling her eyes. Molly could also see the longing for a child in her eyes. Juliane had wanted a child since she was a little girl, but she couldn't have one during the war. Not whilst her father was around. If he got word that Juliane had a child, he would come for it. Juliane couldn't take that risk. 

"So, Bill and Juliane will go, and then Adria and Charlie, and then Arthur and me." Molly instructed, coming out of her daze. Bill placed his arm around Juliane's waist and stepped forward. He picked up some of the powder from the fireplace, and threw it into the fire, causing the flames to flicker forest green. 

"Hogwart's, Dumbledore's office." He said. The two stepped into the fire and spun around. Various houses flashed before the couple's eyes as Bill clutched Juliane tighter. They stumbled through the fire and into Dumbledore's office. 

"Ah, here they are now." Dumbledore said, looking over at the two. 

"Hello Professor." Juliane said politely, brushing ash off of her shirt. Adria and Charlie came tumbling out of the fire after. Juliane swiftly caught Adria before she fell. Molly and Arthur followed after them. 

"Don't want you getting hurt, now do we?" She asked. Adria rolled her eyes. 

"I'm pregnant, not dying. Now stop acting like Charlie." She said. 

"Aww, Dria!" Charlie pouted. "I'm not that bad." 

"No, you really are." Bill said with a laugh. 

"Shush." Juliane slapped Bill's shoulder. "I don't blame him for being so protective. Now let's focus on the task at hand. Harry and Harmony." 

"Yes. Come along. You all are going to meet Harry and Harmony along with Hope outside of the great hall. Oh, and Adria, congratulations on the child." Dumbledore said with the same twinkle in his eyes that Adria had seen so many times at Hogwarts when they were caught sneaking into the Forbidden forest. The group followed the old headmaster. They came to a stop outside of the great hall's massive doors. 

"Oh Jules, remember the first time we entered that hall?" Bill asked. 

"Of course I do. That was the first time I met you." Juliane said. The other champions stood around the hall. Viktor Krum was speaking to his parents in rapid Bulgarian. Adria made to go over to the champion that had harmed her Nikio. It took Charlie, Juliane, and Bill to restrain her. Cedric Diggory was talking to his parents, his father smiling proudly, and his mother had him wrapped in a tight hug. Fleur was chattering in rapid French to her parents. Her sister, Gabrielle was holding onto her mother's hand tightly. The Potters walked out of the great hall, and looked around. Gabrielle waved to Harry and Harmony with a smile. Juliane had learned from Hope, that the twins had saved the girl from the murky depths of the black lake, when Fleur was attacked. Hope made her way over to the family with a wide smile. She hugged Juliane then Molly, and Adria. Harmony and Harry also hugged the adults when they got over. 

"Surprise!" Molly said excitedly.

"Are you alright?" Bill asked as he shook Harry's hand, then Harmony's. 

"You both did amazing with the hungarian Horntail." Adria said, hugging them both. 

"You really were." Charlie agreed. 

"Thanks." Harmony chirped. 

"Really, for a second we all thought... The Dursleys..." Harry mumbled. Molly pursed her lips but said nothing as a look of anger flashed across her eyes. 

"It's so great to be back here." Bill said looking around.

"Is the painting of that absolutely mad knight around still? Sir Cadogan?" Juliane asked. 

"Yeah he is." Hope said. 

"And the fat lady too I can see." Juliane chuckled, noticing the painting winking at Bill, who scowled. 

"Oh, she was here in my time!" Molly exclaimed. "The scolding I got from her when I got back to the common room at four in the morning-" She stopped abruptly, and blushed. 

"What were you doing coming back at four in the morning?" Bill asked, looking at his mother in amazement. 

"Well you're father and I had been out on a night time stroll." Molly explained, her eyes twinkling. "He got caught by Apollyon Pringle — he was the caretaker in those days — your father's still got the marks." 

"Wow. Fancy giving us all a tour Harry, Harmony?" Bill asked. 

"Alright." Harmony agreed. 

"Hope, fancy staying back with me for a few minuets?" Juliane asked. Hope nodded, and the two walked a little ways away, and followed the group. "How are you doing? I know everyone has been saying that to Harry and Harmony, but I doubt many people have asked you." Juliane said quietly. 

"I'm doing alright." Hope said. 

"Hope, I was a mute for eighteen years. I know when someone's lying." Juliane said. 

"I'm frightened for Harry and Harmony's lives. They are in danger constantly." Hope sighed. 

"And what about this unknown power you have?" Juliane asked. "You know not everything is about your siblings. You have your own problems." 

"I don't know. It's weird. Just last year, if Fred, Alex, and George tried to prank me, it would work. I think. I mean, they never did. Is there something wrong with me?" Hope asked, tears brimming her eyes.

"Hope, there's nothing wrong with you." Juliane started but the rest of her sentence by Amos Diggory. 

"Bet you two aren't feeling as full of yourselves now that Cedric has more points than you." He said rather loudly. 

"Ignore him," said Cedric in a low voice to Harry, frowning afterhis father. "He's been angry ever since Rita Skeeter's articleabout the Triwizard Tournament — you know, when she made out you were the only Hogwarts champion." 

"Well they didn't correct her, did they?" Amos asked. Hope stalked over to the man, not caring he was older than her. 

"Actually, they did try to correct her. Your head was just to far up your arse to notice! You don't know the hell my siblings have been through. All you can do is boast about your son, who hates it when you talk about him like that by the way, and walk around like someone shoved their wand so far up your-" Hope roared, but was pulled away by Alex and Janessa Grey, both looking amused at their friend. 

"So, the older sister of the chosen ones. Tell me Hope, how does it feel to live in your sibling's shadows?" Amos asked. That was it for Hope Potter. She gave the man a tearful glare, causing cracks to form in the wall and ceiling, and tore down the hall. 

"I'll go after her." Juliane said, as Fred, Alex, the twins, Cedric, and Janessa all made to go after her. Without another word, she walked down the hallway. Hope was on her knees, sobbing on the floor. All the emotion she had hidden in the past years finally came out. Her fists pounded on the floor causing the sound to echo around the empty hall. "Hope?" Juliane asked, kneeling down next to her. When the young witch looked up, her eyes weren't their normal emerald green, they were a bright gold. Her teeth had turned into pointed fangs. 

"What is going on!" She screamed. 

"I don't know Hope, but it's okay." Juliane soothed. 

"It's not okay! Nothing's okay!" Hope yelled. Hope was too young for any of what was happening to her. She was only sixteen and she was forced to act like an adult. The girl had so much pressure put on her. She had to take care of her siblings, get good grades, and was only known for being the chosen twin's older sister. It was hard for the girl. But nobody ever understood. They all were to caught up in her younger siblings to notice. Not even her friends asked her if she was okay anymore. Juliane wrapped the girl in her arms, and held her tight. Juliane was the only person that had asked Hope how she felt. The only one who focused on her problems and wasn't obsessed with Harry and Harmony. Juliane had turned into the older sister that Hope had needed. The person that Hope could talk to when she couldn't go to anyone else. Juliane didn't need to say anything to comfort the girl. She just sat with her, until her sobs subsided, and her teeth gradually turned normal, and when she looked up again, her eyes were their normal green. 

"Do you want to go back now?" Juliane asked after a while. 

"Yeah. I do." Hope sighed. The two got up. "And Juliane?" Juliane turned around. 

"Yeah Hope?" 

"Thank you. You have turned into my older sister." Hope said. 

"Well you have turned into my little sister too." Juliane replied. 

"Hey, you could even be a Potter. You have the hair, and the eyes." Hope allowed herself to laugh. 

"Why thank you. It's an honor." Juliane chuckled back, wrapping an arm around Hope's shoulder. They made their way outside, and found the family. 

"Are you alright love?" Fred asked. 

"I'm alright Fred." Hope replied. Juliane saw a very uncomfortable looking Bill, talking to Fleur Delacour, who was clearly attempting to flirt with him. Juliane walked up. 

"Hey!" She said, pulling Bill in for a long kiss. As they pulled away, Bill smiled in amusement. Fleur's flirtatious smile dropped in an instant, and she stalked away. 

"Jealous were you?" Bill asked, raising one eyebrow. 

"No, you looked like you needed some help." Juliane said. The two walked over to their seats. Hope had gone to the Hufflepuff stands with Janessa, and the triplets had gone to the Gryffindor stands. The Weasleys and Adria were sitting in the small stands reserved for the judges, Professors, and other guests. 

"Is Hope okay?" Molly asked worriedly. 

"She's alright now." The champions took their places at the opening of the maze, Harry and Harmony had their pinkies linked, much like they were at the second task. 

"Ladies and Gentlemen, the third task of the Triwizard tournament is about to begin!" Ludo Bagman began, his voice magically magnified. "Let me remind you where the points stand. Tied in first place with eighty-five points each, we have, Cedric Diggory, and the Potter twins, both from Hogwart's school!" The Hogwarts students went wild in their stands, causing flocks of birds to fly from the forest. "In second place, with eighty points, Mr Viktor Krum of Durmstrang Academy!" The Durmstrang students clapped and cheered, their voices echoing throughout the pitch. "And in third place, Miss Fleur Delacour of Beauxbaton's Academy!" The Beauxbaton's students cheered more quietly then the rest of the schools. The Weasleys, Juliane, and Adria clapped politely for the other schools, and cheered loudly for Hogwarts. "So... Without further ado, on my whistle, The twins and Cedric enter the maze!" The shrill whistle pierced it's way through the crisp air, and Harmony, Harry, and Cedric raced into the maze, then Krum, then Fleur. The audience waited with bated breath. Fleur excited the maze first, after sending up red sparks, and Viktor followed after her. The half Veela had messed up hair, and scratches littering her arms, legs, and face. What had happened in the maze stayed a secret to the watching wizards and Witches. 

"Where is Harry, Harmony, and Cedric?" Juliane asked nervously. She was seated at the edge of her seat. Her knee bouncing up and down at the fear that something had happened to the students. Hope was the same way across the stands, hoping her siblings and her best friend were alright. After an hour of waiting in the cold, dark, night, there was a loud bang, and Harry, Harmony, and Cedric fell onto the middle of the pitch. There was something wrong. They seemed to be dragging Cedric's body. Someone screamed. Juliane gasped as she realized. Cedric was dead.
