The Unexpected

James' Daughter Alright

Magnolia sat in Transfiguration with the Gryffindors and she was bored out of her mind until a thought popped into her head. Magnolia grinned. She looked around the classroom and clutched her stomach. "Ow!" Magnolia shrieked. 

Everyone in the class looked towards her. McGonagall walked over to her desk and tilted her head. "Magnolia, is everything alright?" Magnolia shook her head. "I think I'm in labor!" She cried out. McGonagall's eyes widened. "Oh my. Potter, Weasley! Take her to the hospital wing!" Magnolia hid her smile. McGonagall helped Magnolia stand up. "Alright, Miss Potter. Let's get you to the hospital wing, class dismissed." Magnolia looked up at McGonagall. "You're coming with me?" She asked. McGonagall nodded. "Yes, of course. Now let's go." Magnolia clutched her stomach again. "Ow! Harry! Ron! Hurry it up!" Magnolia ordered. 

Ron and Harry shared a look and stood up. They ran out of the classroom and Magnolia and McGonagall followed after them. Every once in a while Magnolia would fake a contraction. Ron had went to go get Draco while Harry went with Magnolia. 

They reached the hospital wing and Magnolia was laid onto a bed. Madam Pomfrey rushed over. "Is she having the baby?" Professor McGonagall nodded. "Yes." Madam Pomfrey pulled her wand out and waved it, performing a spell to see how far along Magnolia was. Madam Pomfrey raised her brow and gave Magnolia a mom look. "She's not in labor. She's not even having false labor pains." 

Magnolia smiled. "Ooops?" She whispered. Professor McGonagall chuckled. "You sure are James' Daughter alright." Magnolia smiled. "So I'm not in trouble." McGonagall sighed. "I suppose not. I needed the laugh anyways but do it in my class again and there might be detention." Magnolia nodded. "Ahh! Might." Professor McGonagall shook her head with a smile as she walked out. "You know you love me Minnie!" McGonagall nodded. "Unfortunately, Potter." 

And that was how Magnolia's first week of February had gone. She had used that to get out of most of her classes and Madam Pomfrey was getting sick of her. 

"Magnolia if you don't stop doing this, I'm not going to believe you when it's the real thing." She said as she ran an ultrasound. Magnolia nodded. "I know but it's interesting to see the way people react. Professor Slughorn's reaction was my favorite by far. Don't you agree, Draco?" Magnolia turned her head towards Draco. He stood besides her tapping his foot. He had his arms crossed over his chest and a stone cold look on his face. "Potter," He whispered. "For the billionth time-""Save your breath. You're so immature." Magnolia mocked him, causing Draco to glare at her. 

Magnolia looked between the two. "Try being nine months pregnant and see what you can do for fun. Loverboy over there won't let me go to half my classes because I can't walk on the moving stairs so there's no point in going the long way and he won't let me do pranks even though I'm immune at the moment and you're saying I can't do this now." Madam Pomfrey sighed. "Miss Potter, I'm just saying you've cried wolf so many times, no one will believe you when it really happens." Magnolia nodded. "Yeah sure, okay. Whatever, Madam Pomfrey. You can tell me not to do it all you want but it's either this or pranks." Magnolia sighed dramatically and looked longingly towards Draco. 

Madam Pomfrey sighed. "Malfoy, let the poor girl, pull a few harmless pranks," Magnolia grinned and Madam Pomfrey pointed a finger at her. "Keep in mind I said harmless." Magnolia smiled. "Will do, Madam." Magnolia held her hands out to Draco and he sighed. He helped her off the bed. Magnolia smiled and waddled off, leaving Draco in her trail. 

Draco chuckled and shook his head as she wondered off to do god knows what. 

Hours had passed and Draco hadn't seen Magnolia anywhere. He was starting to get worried. It was dinner now and everyone sat in the great hall. "She just disappeared Blaise, I'm worried." Draco whispered, as he moved his food around. He glanced up his eyes falling on Magnolia's seat. Blaise shrugged as he ate a spoonful of chicken soup. "Maybe she really did go into labor." Draco glared at Blaise. "Don't say that. It'll worry me more." Blaise chuckled. "I'm sure she's fine, Mate. She Magnolia, she's always fine." Draco bit his lip. "Not always." Draco's eyes wandered to the door, where he kept them the entire time but nothing changed. 

Professor Snape had been the first one to leave the dining hall that night or at least he tried to. Draco's eyes at been fixated on the door when Snape pulled it open so he hadn't missed the bucket of Honey that fell onto his head. Draco gasped along with a handful of other students. Draco tugged Blaise's sleeve, his eyes not leaving the doorway. 

Where an angry Snape stood. He spun around, his face red and hair sticky. "Alright!" The entire halls attention was on him. "Who did thi-" He was cut off by melted cheese falling on top of him and covering him head to toe. The other teachers stifled laughs as the students burst into laughter. 

Snap flung his arms out, flinging cheese onto other students. The first two had been bad but the next one was worse. Draco's jaw dropped as he watched a bucket of syrup, followed by troll snot fall onto Snape, washing off most of the cheese. The students closer to Snape plugged their noses as the stench floated towards them. 

Blaise was dying laughing next to Draco as Draco tried not to laugh but was failing. Confetti canons went off in the air along with glitter and they landed on Snape, sticking to him. The girls groaned, knowing that would take ages to get out. 

Once the last piece of confetti landed on top of Snape's head, there was a loud grunt and the kids strained to see as a deer with massive antlers ran straight at Snape. Snape's eyes widened and he quickly moved out of the way as the deer bounded into the great hall, followed by a black dog, and a rat. McGonagall's eyes lit up when she saw this but her smile soon fell, remembering the four boys that had graced the halls all those years ago. 

There was an explosion and everyone watched in all as a firework exploding into an M. More confetti canons went off by the door as teachers tried to wrangle the wild animals but the students' attention was on the door as Magnolia Potter stood there grinning proudly. Draco beamed as he shook his head. "I should have known." He whispered. 

The entire hall erupted into cheers and Magnolia threw her hands up. "The queen's back, bitches!" Professor Snape turned towards her. "Miss Ev-""Don't Finish that sentence, Severus," McGonagall sneered, knowing exactly what would happen if she left Magnolia alone with him. She gave Magnolia a proud smile but quickly hid it. "Miss Potter, I'd like to see you in my office." Magnolia's smile fell and she nodded. "Yes, Professor." 

Magnolia turned and walked out of the hall, followed by Professor McGonagall. Blaise elbowed Draco's side. "You've got yourself quite the girl, Malfoy." Draco grinned as he nodded. "I do, don't I?"
