Violet's pov

November 30

"Violet, I need your help in the Great Hall all day. We are learning the dance for the Yule ball." McGonagall explained as she led me to the Great Hall. I laughed and walked in. "Are you sure you are up for dancing right now?" She questioned. "I'm due next week. I can handle this week." I reminded. I sat on a chair while she explained to the Gryffindors about the ball. Ron was whispering with Harry and McGonagall made him dance with her. "Erm, Mister Malfoy could you dance with Professor Black." McGonagall directed him.

I stood up and Draco took my hand and we waited for Flich to start the music. "Mister Weasley, Mister Malfoy, place your right hand on our waist, and the other will hold the free hand." McGonagall explained. Ron whined when he put his hand on her waist. Draco and I dance around Professor McGonagall and Ron. "Are you okay, do you need to sit?" Draco asked frantically. "I'm okay, love." I reassured him. The music stopped and McGonagall made the boys ask the girls for a dance. I sat down and watched.

Harry stood in the corner, he slowly walked over to me. "If you are okay can I dance with you?" He whispered. McGonagall eyed him, I held his hand and danced with Harry. "Harry, relax. You don't need to rush the steps." I laughed, he slowed down a bit. Fred and George walked over and shoved Harry to dance with someone else. "Vi, do you think Grace would go with me?" Fred asked shyly, George rolled his eyes. "Freddie, if you really want to go with her, hurry up and ask because I know Seamus was planning on it." I explained he sighed and kissed my cheek.

Once the Gryffindors left the Slytherins walked in. Snape nodded his head as he stood next to me. "You should sit." He whispered. "Aw, Snivellus I didn't know you cared." I teased, he scoffed and walked to the center. He began to explain to the Slytherins how to dance. "Miss Parkinson if you would join me and Mister Flint dance with Professor Black." Severus announced. Marcus jumped up and helped me out of the seat. I laughed as he brought us to the middle. "Gentlemen, your right hand goes on your partner's waist and the other hold their free hand. And dance." He commanded. Marcus danced with me for a bit until Adrian made him dance somewhere else.

"Are you going to make it to the ball?" Adrian questioned, pointing at my belly. "Yes, I will because he is due next week, so I'll be ready for christmas." I smiled. Regulus walked in and patted Adrian on the shoulder, Adrian left and Regulus took his spot. "Everyone watch how the lovely couple dances. This is how you want to look." Snape announced. Regulus winked at me and spun me in a circle before dancing with me. "You look beautiful, love." He whispered, I laughed and leaned against his chest.

The Slytherins clapped for us before leaving. Severus looked at us, I smiled while Regulus laughed. "You were the best looking couple at the ball our 5th year. I see nothing has changed." he complimented us. I looked shocked and Regulus laughed before helping me walk to Madam Pomfrey. "Hello dear, take a seat." She announced as she walked over. "Oh, Violet your baby really wants to burst." She exclaimed. Regulus pumped his fists in the air and jumped up and down.

"I want you to stay here until your son is born. So Regulus, go get all her things." Pomfrey ordered. I laughed and got comfortable in the bed. Grace, Draco and Harry ran in. "Mom!" Harry shouted. "Seamus wants to ask Grace to the ball!" Draco shouted next. "Twats! I told you she was going to pop and that's what you tell her!" Grace smacks their heads. Grace sits on a chair and rolls up to me, she rubs my stomach and kisses it. "I can't wait to meet you," She trails off waiting for the name. "Can you really not wait like less than a week?" I question, she groans and kisses my cheek.

"Who are you two asking to the ball?" I asked the boys, they went red. Draco kissed my stomach then my cheek. "See you later, mom!" He shouted, running out of the Hospital wing. Harry kissed my stomach and my head. "Bye mom! Love you!" He shouted following Draco out. "Grace, do you want Fred or Seamus to ask you?" I questioned, she groaned and rubbed her forehead. "Come here." I motioned for her to get into bed with me.
