The Unexpected

Hallelujah

Magnolia shook Draco awake and he groaned. "Five more minutes, Potter." Magnolia shook her head. "Nope. I'm finally done with bed rest. Which means I get to leave this horrid room and go outside." Draco looked up at Magnolia and saw a giant grin on her face. "You realize you can do that without me?" Magnolia nodded. "Yes but I don't want to now get your lazy arse up before I kick you out of bed." Draco groaned and pushed himself up. He stretched and turned to Magnolia. 

"Well what are you waiting for?" Magnolia grinned. She climbed out of bed and grinned. "Oh merlin! I forgot what it feels like to stand. Come on! We're going for a walk." Draco's smile fell. "I'm afraid that isn't a good idea, love," Magnolia's face fell. "There are spies all over this castle. Goyle, Crabbe, Pansy," Draco paused. "Nott." Magnolia groaned. "Then who's going to walk with me?" Draco shrugged. "Perhaps Harry could go or Longbottom or Hermione or Ginny." Magnolia raised her brow. "Not Ron." Draco seemed to tense at his name. "No. Not Ron." Magnolia walked back over to the bed and sat down across from Draco. "Does that have anything to do with what the papers are saying?" 

Draco sighed. "Perhaps." Magnolia grinned and leaned forward, pecking Draco's lips. "Oh, I love you." Magnolia whispered. Draco shook his head. "I don't like that they think my child belongs to that oaf." Magnolia chuckled. "Well, Ron and me are just friends," She whispered, moving her hands to Draco's shoulders. "And maybe it would be good with what the papers are saying." Draco nodded. "Perhaps you're right. Just don't hug him or kiss him for the papers." Magnolia gasped. "I would never. My heart belongs to one." Draco nodded as he pulled Magnolia onto his lap. "It better." 

Magnolia sighed. "How am I not crushing you?" Draco chuckled. "You would never crush me." Magnolia raised her brow. "I'm a whale, Malfoy." Draco shrugged. "No you're carrying my child which makes you beautiful." Magnolia nodded. "So I wasn't beautiful before, noted." Draco shook his head. "No, no. That's not what I meant." Magnolia chuckled. "I know what you meant. I'm going on my walk now do you want anything from Hogsmeade." Draco nodded. "You to not go to Hogsmeade." Magnolia turned around and glared at Draco. 

"I'm going. I need pickles and the castle doesn't have any. Ron will be with me, I'll be fine." Draco shook his head. "Ron's under age. Take Hermione too." Magnolia sighed. "Lavender will probably come, unfortunately. She's mad about her Won-Won being he father of my child." Draco chuckled. "Won--won?" Magnolia nodded as she climbed off the bed. "Yep. It's quite pathetic." 

Draco shrugged. "I don't know. Maybe I should have a nickname for you. Mag-Mag, Pottie, Magpie." Magnolia's face showed disgust. "I'm gonna barf-barf. Stick with Mags." Draco shook his head. "No, no. I got one. Nolia-poo." Magnolia glared at him. "I will barf on you." Draco laughed as he stood up. 

"I'll take chocolate frogs." Draco stated as he walked towards the bathroom. Magnolia pulled her wardrobe open and pulled a sweater and leggings out. She changed into them and grabbed her coat. Magnolia pulled it on as she heard the water turn on. 

Magnolia walked over to the bathroom door and pushed it open a crack. "I'll be back in an hour or two." She told him. "Alright, be careful!" Magnolia nodded and walked out of her dorm. She walked towards the Gryffindor common room where she found Ron and Hermione sitting on the couches. Hermione was reading a book while Ron stared at a piece of parchment in confusion. 

"Hey, who's up for Hogsmeade?" Ron looked up at Magnolia and nodded. "I'm up for anything but this right now." Magnolia smiled and looked over at Hermione. "What about you? Draco said I had to bring someone of age." Hermione sighed. "I suppose I'll go." 

Draco was walking to the DADA classroom. He knocked on the door. "Come in." Snape called. Draco pushed the door open and stepped inside. Snape was sitting at the front of the classroom. Draco shifted. "Professor, um I was thinking about what you said and I want to take you up on it." Snape raised his brow. "Take me up on what?" Draco sighed. "You said the order was always looking for spies." Snape nodded. "It's a dangerous job, Draco. If you're discovered-""Magnolia's having my kid. I need it to be safe for her. I don't want her to grow up in a world where Voldemort's in power." Snape nodded. "Very well." Draco bit his lip. "So what do I do first?" Snape sighed. "Well you can't kill Dumbledore. I have to be the one to do that." 

Draco's brows knitted together. "Why do we have to kill-""It's his orders. You have to make them think that you're a part of them. No one can know you're a spy, not even Magnolia." Draco's eyes fell on the floor as he nodded. "I understand, sir." Snape looked up. "No one can know I am a spy either unless I tell you otherwise." Draco nodded. "Yes, sir." 

Snape sighed. "You may have to give up information to continue being trusted. You have to be believable. If they doubt you, even for a second, it will cost you your life." Draco nodded. "Yes, sir. I understand." Snape shook his head. "You can turn back now, Draco. Once you walk out those doors, I can't save you." Draco sighed. "I am aware of the consciouses, sir, but I am doing this for Magnolia and our child, for a better world for them." Snape nodded. "Very well. I'll be in contact with you but for now, go on." 

Draco nodded. He turned and left the room. Draco knew it was wrong keeping this secret from Magnolia but maybe it would be payback for Magnolia keeping the baby a secret. Draco walked back to Magnolia's dorm. Since they had come back from break it had become Draco's dorm too. He hardly went back to his dorm other than to talk to Blaise. 

Magnolia, Ron, and Hermione were walking through Hogsmeade. They had just left Honeydukes and were about to go to the three broomsticks. Ron was in the middle with the girls on either side of him. 

"It's funny really," Ron started. "How I've been with Lavender for a while now and people think we're in a relationship." He told Magnolia. Magnolia chuckled. "Maybe we are, Won-Won." Magnolia said in a sweet voice. Hermione giggled. "Stop I'm gonna barf-barf." Magnolia laughed. "I told Draco the same thing earlier." 

Ron rolled his eyes. "I had no vote in the nickname category alright." Magnolia and Hermione continued laughing. A door up ahead opened but the group paid no attention to it. Magnolia put her hand over her heart. "Oh, won-won, don't wie to us. It's very meanie head of you!" Ron glared at Magnolia before rolling his eyes with a grin and looking forward again. 

They walked past the open door and a hand grabbed Magnolia's wrist. She was pulled inside the room and a hand clapped over her mouth before she could scream.
