The Unexpected

Movement

Magnolia laid on a couch in the Gryffindor common room. She had her feet propped up on the arm as Ron and Harry walked over.

"What are you doing here?" Ron asked. Magnolia looked up at him. "Gin and me were hanging out but I'm too tired to move." Ron tilted his head. "Where's Ginny now?" Magnolia sighed. "Getting me food." She turned her head back towards the ceiling. Ron chuckled. "Can you at least move your feet so I can sit down?" Magnolia thought for a minute. "Will you rub my feet?"

Ron sighed. "I guess if it gets me a seat." Magnolia grinned and lifted her legs up. Ron sat down where her feet once were and Magnolia laid her feet on Ron's lap. His eyes widened. "Merlin, Mags. Your ankles are the size of pigmy puffs." Magnolia glared at him. "And your freckles look like dots of shit," Magnolia suddenly felt a kick. She jolted forward, placing her hand on the place the baby had kicked. "Owe!" Harry and Ron sat forward quickly. 

"What? What is it? Is everything okay?" Magnolia looked up at Harry and nodded. A smile forming on her face. "She kicked." She whispered. Harry's lips twisted into a grin. "Well it's about bloody time." Ron nodded. "She was beginning to scare me," Ron looked over at Magnolia. "Ma-may I?" Magnolia nodded. She guided Ron's hand to the placed she had kicked and laid his hand there. 

They waited for a few seconds but nothing came. "Nothing's happening." Ron whispered. Magnolia bit her lip. "Just wait a few minutes, you impatient git!" Ron sighed and waited, rolling his eyes. "Nothing." He hummed. "If you don't shut up and wait I will hex you to o-""She kicked." Ron stated, smiling. Magnolia nodded. "See, patience. Now rub my feet." Ron chuckled and pulled his hands away.

He started massaging Magnolia's feet as Ginny walked into the room. "Hey, Mags. I brought you that pineapple you wanted." Magnolia grinned. "Gimme, gimme." Ginny chuckled and handed Magnolia the bowl of diced pineapple and a fork. 

Ginny sat down next to Harry and leaned into the couch. "Have you talked to Fred lately?" Magnolia shook her head as she popped a piece of pineapple into her mouth. "Not since our fight." Ginny didn't know the entire story behind the fight but she knew there had been a fight. "You should talk to him." Magnolia shrugged. "I don't know. Things were said." 

Magnolia was walking through the hallways when she saw Pansy yelling at Hermione. Magnolia froze and raised her brow. She walked over too Pansy. "Who are you calling Mudblood, pug-face?" Magnolia felt another kick and she laid her hand on her stomach. "Careful, Potter. You're lucky you're pregnant or else I'd hex you." Magnolia nodded. "You're lucky I'm pregnant or I would beat your ass the muggle way, Puginson," Pansy jaw dropped and Magnolia rubbed her stomach as she felt another kick. 

"I'm not scared of you. What are you gonna do tell your boyfriends father?" Pansy crossed her arms over her chest. "Me and Draco broke up." Magnolia knew that, of course she had known that. "Oh, right. How could he like you?" Magnolia sighed. "Leave Mione alone, leave everyone alone and if I hear about you bullying someone again, you better pray I forget about it when this baby's born." Magnolia felt another kick. 

Pansy scoffed and stormed away but there was no denying the girl was scared. Magnolia looked down at her bump. "Listen, girlie, when mum's chewing someone out like that you can't be kicking me." 

Hermione smiled. "She kicked?" Magnolia's lips twisted into a grin and she nodded. "She did. Do you want to feel?" Hermione nodded. She placed her hand on Magnolia's bump and waited a few seconds. Both girls smiles fell when they didn't feel the kick. "Hmmm, she's not kicking." Magnolia sighed. "She did the same thing with Ron earlier. The weasel was being bloody impatient." Magnolia felt a soft kick and Hermione did too. It was barely noticeable but it was noticeable. Hermione beamed. "Oh my, that's amazing." Magnolia nodded as she looked down at the bump. "It is," Magnolia rubbed her stomach. "It just makes everything seem so much more real."
