Amelia and Nora stayed by Ashlynn's side, trying to comfort the girl to the best of their abilities. They wanted to make up for the time they spent apart from her. Guilt was eating up at them when they truly saw the prison their bestfriend was cooped up in. It was gorgeous on the outside, but cruel on the inside.

Ashlynn forced the two women out of her house when she saw the time on the clock. Mark was almost off of work. The girls were reluctant to leave without her, but her eyes begged them to leave her behind. She caused enough drama for them and the rest of her friends and family.

Nora stepped into the passenger seat of the car while Amelia sat in the driver. Her hands were shaking as she placed them on the staring wheel, her eyes wide and glued to the road in front of them.

"Let me drive." Nora whispered softly to Amelia. As she opened the door, Amelia's voice broke through the thick tension.

"I'll drive. I got it." She mumbled before sifting the gear and setting off.

The two were sat in silence, neither truly knowing what to say to each other. Nora still had the pregnancy test in her hand. Ashlynn was afraid that Mark might find them and will turn her life into hell. Her eyes kept finding themselves back to looking back at the test. It was like she didn't truly believe the factual information in front of her eyes.

Soon, the two arrived back at Amelia's mansion and wordlessly entered the house. The quietness was deafening to them. Harry was still locked in his room doing nothing, but think. His mind whirling with anything and everything. He listened to what they all had to say, but never said anything.

"Should we tell Harry?" Amelia asked as she dropped on the couch.

Nora glanced again at the tests in her hand. This was a secret. A secret that could never get out until absolutely necessary. Each and everyone of them were in trouble for the scandal casted upon the Du Pont and Weasley name. They didn't need to add gasoline to the fire.

Nora shook her head no. "No, it isn't our story to tell. Ashlynn needs to tell him. When she's ready. When she knows what she wants to do. And we'll be here for her."

Amelia nodded her head and silence succumbed them again. "I hate him."

Nora looked up at her girlfriend, wondering who she could be talking about. Their were multiple men that she could be speaking about. Her brother, for what he was continuously doing to Ashlynn. Ron Weasley, for the way he treated Ashlynn and embarrassed her at the place she works. The rest of the Weasley men for not being their for their blood. Or Harry Potter, for not saying a word about their current situation.

"Who?"

"My brother." Her face scrunched up with a look of utter disgust. "The mere thought of him is driving me bonkers, but what is doing is clinically insane. I just - I can't believe - who could do such a thing?" She stuttered and buried her face into her hands.

Nora shot towards the blonde-brunette woman and pulled her into her arms. Hands still covering her face, she buried herself deep within the latina's chest. "Shh, it's going to be okay, hermosa." She cooed, combing her fingers though her hair.

They stayed together in each others arms until Amelia fell asleep. Tears stained her eyes as her hands rested around Nora's torso. Soft snores escaped her mouth as her breathing evened at pace. Nora placed a loving kiss on her forehead before carrying her bridal style up the stairs.

After gently placing Amelia on her bed, Nora headed towards the last door on the right that held the initials 'H.J.P'. Her knuckles clacked against the hard wood. "Harry?" She called. A groan sounded through the thick door and Nora opened the door slightly.
