Chapter 49

Violet's pov

Waking up the next morning, I noticed three tall shadow figures next to my bed. I grabbed my wand and casted 'stupefy' at the three figures. "Bloody hell woman!" Sirius groaned from the floor. "Lumos." I whispered, lighting up my wand. "Idiots! All three of you! Why would you hover over a pregnant woman?" I scolded. "We are trying to bring you breakfast!" Remus groaned, rubbing his head. Regulus stood up and kissed my head, "Glad you are quick with your wand, love." He smirked before handing me food. "Mom, Hey! Why didn't I get food?" Grace pouted. I patted the bed and she joined me.

Regulus kneeled down and kissed my stomach gently, I smiled and rubbed his head. "Are you sure you want to go to Hogwarts this year?" Regulus asked standing up. I nodded while chewing and swallowing. "Yes, I'm sure. I'll be fine." I mumbled, he smiled and kissed my head. "Dad, uncles, can you leave? I want to talk to mom." Grace asked shyly, they nodded and left. I silenced the room and they groaned before walking away. "What's up love?" I asked as she slowly rubbed my belly.

"I don't think Freddie likes me. He hugs me still but the cheek and forehead kisses have stopped. He hasn't made any move to ask me out. I-I just don't think he likes me in that way." She took a deep breath and cuddled into my side. I played with her hair, "How do you feel about it, love?" I questioned gently stroking her hair. "I think I'm okay, just a bit frustrated that it is taking him so long to admit it." She explained.

"Well, it took your dad two years to actually ask me out and then another two years to marry me." I laughed, she snorted and shook her head. "Well, this boy has been sending me letters, he was at the Quidditch cup and saw me there. He'e been asking how I was." She blushed lightly. "Oooh and who is this boy?" I teased. "He's in Harry's and Draco's year, erm, Seamus Finnigan." She smiled lightly. I pulled her close to me, "Well, if he likes you and you like him, and Fred isn't expressing his feelings then what's stopping you, love?" I asked, she shrugged and kissed my cheek. "Thanks mom!" She cheered.

Regulus walked in and watched as Grace kissed her baby brother, "What's his name?" She asked, looking between us. "You mom is picking and she won't tell me." Regulus pouted. "It's a surprise for everyone, relax. You picked Grace's name." I argued. "But you knew!" He protested, I laughed and kissed his cheek as I got out of bed. I got dressed and grabbed our trunks, Regulus slapped my hand and handed the trunks to Remus and Sirius. He picked me up in bridal style and carried me to the floo. "A pregnant woman mustn't walk or carry luggage." Regulus explained.

Harry and Draco laughed at Remus and Sirius struggling. A small letter flew in with an owl, Grace walked over and opened it. She blushed at the messy handwriting and name. "Ugh, is that F-" Reg began but I covered his mouth. Draco and Harry snuck up behind her, Draco grabbed her arms while Harry stole the note. "YOU TWATS! That's private! MOM!" Grace struggled in Draco's hold. "Love, you father is holding me." I explain. "Draco! Let me go! Or I'll tell mom about Greengrass!" She negotiated, Draco looked at Harry who was reading the note. "Sorry Harry." Draco released Grace and she tackled Harry.

"SEAMUS FINNIGAN!" Harry shouted before Grace could cover his mouth. Draco fell over laughing, Harry joined in once Grace got off him. "Draco's in love with Astoria Greengrass! Harry is in love with Ginny Weasley!" Grace shouted before brushing the dirt off her pants. "BRAT!" Harry and Draco exclaimed at once. "TWATS!" She shouted back. "MOM!" All three of them shouted at once. Harry and Draco called me mom. I rubbed my temples, Regulus laughed at them. "How do I not have gray hair?" I questioned. "I actually see one right, here." Regulus teased. "Zip it." I sneered.

"Alright enough, let's go." I ordered, Grace, Harry, and Draco shoved each other and stuck their tongues out at each other. "What happened with 'Freddie', I thought you two had something." Draco asked, slinging an arm over her shoulder. "I thought so too." She mumbled, Harry and Draco exchanged looks, Harry took her trunk and Draco threw her on his shoulders. "Cheer up Gracie!" Harry shouted as she struggled with balance.
