*Please don't think of what year the characters are in! I just put them as younger years to make the story longer, age is not very relevant. Sure, Althea will turn 16 but it's only because I want this book to last, and when they get old it's not as interesting anymore!

So, they are going to have sex, drink, smoke, etc. EVEN if they're technically underage since I don't want to wait until chapter 70 to finally start writing that content. :(

Personally, I don't love it when the main character gets pregnant too early in the book so I was thinking of putting the future of all the main characters, (Fred, Angelina, Lee, Alicia, Althea, George, Elise, and Cedric) in an epilogue. Let me know what you think!

Even though it hurt to see George in such a state, I couldn't deny that it was fucking hot. I would never admit this but when he was angry, George was super attractive - the veins in his hand became visible and his muscles popped, and the whole look was something I secretly loved. 

The next day I was extremely nervous about what would be George's punishment, after all, Pucey was unrecognizable and despite all the magic and potions used on him, they couldn't hide the damage he had done. 

I walked to breakfast with the twins, pondering every possible situation, punishment, and outcome that George would have to face, and I guess the twins noticed my silence as they stopped me.

"What's wrong, Raven?"

"Hmm?"

"You've been quiet all morning." 

"Just... thinking..." I mumbled, distracted.

"Care to share?" Asked George, genuinely interested. 

My mind took over and before I could stop myself my mouth began saying everything I had been thinking of. "George, have you thought about what your punishment is going to be? You could be suspended, expelled, or worse, sent to jail. You know Adrian's parents are banking gits I did my research they have the power and influence on Hogwarts to send you away and even Dumbledore won't be able to stop that from happening and what if they motion for you to be put on trial and you won't be able to finish your studies and what if-"

"I'll be alright love; I don't think anything's going to happen." He interrupted, I hadn't even realized that my breaths had quickened and my hands began to shake and when I did, I quickly looked out the window, calming my nerves. "Instead of thinking of the worst-case scenarios, what are the best case?" He asked, noticing my unease.

My brain started whirring with thoughts, racking for any good outcome. "Well, the most probable solution is that Pucey is ashamed to tell his parents of his actions and ends up lying, or he could tell them but they disregard it considering the attention a trial would bring to their secretive affairs - I saw them dealing in Knockturn Alley one time -" I added, thinking deeply and not noticing the twin's smirks, "He could be scared of what you might do considering that you almost killed him or... OH!" The idea suddenly hit me. "How could I be so stupid I should've thought of that, I swear I'm an idiot-"

"You're not stupid love, now what is your idea?" His calming voice set me back from my rant, centering me.

"I saw Adrian after the fight and you hit his right temple at such an angle he may forget about the fight completely. It's called short-term memory loss, hopefully, you hit him hard enough for it to reach his frontal cortex and that would mean that he won't be able to recall what happened. Without his clear statement, the Pucey's wouldn't have a case in court, then that means they wouldn't pursue the attack. There weren't that many people watching and the only ones that were were a few Hufflepuff and Gryffindor and I've already spoken to them. They hate Pucey as much as anyone and vowed not to speak a word of their witness. His injuries will be labeled as unknown and disregarded, and his files will be stashed away."
