The Cursed One

Alone

It was almost evening but I was till in shock.

I was pregnant.

I had a tiny baby inside me.

Suddenly the first thing that came to my mind was that I had to protect this baby. I knew that there was going to be some kind of war in the future and I couldn't risk this baby getting hurt. I knew that this war was going to be between Harry and the Dark Lord so there was a high chance that they will harm anyone with any connection to Harry.

So even before telling Harry, I had to go tell Dumbledore and make him promise that he'll protect my baby.

I quickly start walking to Dumbledore's office.

My mind was still a mess but I had one thing clear in my mind and that was to protect this baby.

From the second I found out I was pregnant, I knew I would do anything to protect it.

I couldn't process what was happening but my brain was working fast,making up plans to protect the baby.

I reach Dumbledore's office and see that he was outside his office as if he was going somewhere.

"Professor! Professor Dumbledore!" I yell.

"Ah.... Miss Lestrange. If the matter is not important, can it wait?" He asks.

"No!" I almost yell.

I was surprised at myself. I never yell in front of a teacher.

"The matter is very important professor! I HAVE to talk to you." I say.

"Then let's go inside and chat." He says.

After he says the password, the Gargoyle jumps aside letting them both enter.

After entering, he asks her to sit down. They both sit and he asks warmly "What's the matter Thana...?"

"Professor, I need you to make a promise. Please promise me you'll protect me from whatever that's coming." I say urgently.

His expression becomes unreadable.

"What are you implying Thana?" He asks.

"Professor...... You have to protect me." I say desperately.

"And why is that Thana? What are you afraid of? Everyone has to face difficult times... I cannot protect you alone dear..." he says. Now, his eyes were cold.

She knew that now he was seeing her as a coward. His cold blue eyes showed her the truth.

"Professor.... I'm pregnant." I say finally.

His eyes widen at her statement.

His clear blue eyes scan me as he asks "And the father is.....Harry?"

I nod.

We sit in silence for a few minutes.

Seeing his reaction I know I fucked up bad but I had to do everything in my power to protect my baby...

"Professor...... I-" I try to say something but he cuts across me and asks

"Did you inform Harry about this?"

"No........ First thing that came into my mind was that I had to protect him....." I stutter.

I look at him at to my surprise, he sigs a sigh of relief.

After a few minutes of silence, he looks at me and says "Thana...... The only person who can protect this child is.... You."

I look at him with my eyes wide.

"I'm going to tell you truth for which I know, you will hate me for." Professor Dumbledore says witha sigh.

I knew something bad was coming. My stomach was getting twisted and I was feeling nauseous..... But I knew, this was not because of pregnancy. It was a sign that told me I'm near my doom.

"The wizarding world is quickly moving into a huge war.... This war will bring more destruction than ever. There is nothing that can stop or slow this...... In the middle of this war is, Voldemort and Harry. One is evil and the other is good...." He stopped for a second and looked at me.

I was frozen in place listening to the prophecy of doom.

"...... One is your father and other us the father of your child. Won't it be hard for you to choose?" He asks.

"I'll choose Harry anywhere." I say in a second without any hesitation.

Dumbledore smiles sadly.

My heartbreaks knowing that something was about to go wrong.

"I know........ But you cannot." He says.

"Why?!" I yell.

"Even though Harry's side is right, they may struggle to defeat evil in the future.... Knowing him, he'll leave everything to save the wizarding world because he is...... The only person who can do it...." He stops again for a second to closely watch me.

I was numb.

"In order to save the wizarding world, he'll have to sacrifice a lot..... He'll have to do it and that is a price a hero has to pay.... The sacrifice will include many many things.... Including his love.... That is.....you." he says with finality.

I feel a huge lump forming in the back of my throat. It was very painful and hard to swallow making my eyes water. But I hold back the tears because I know.... He was not finished.

"But, if you tell him this news now....... Do you think he will be able to sacrifice?" Dumbledore looks at me and asks.

I don't say a word.

"Do You?" He asks again.

"........No....." I whisper.

"Do you think he will be able to protect you in the middle of the war when you will be constantly attacked the the death eaters because then, you will be his weakness........ You will drag him down." He says.

"Then what do you want me to do?!!!" I yell at him. "You... You can protect me! " I stammer.

"I can't..." he says sadly.

"THEN WHAT SHOULD I DO!!!!" I scream at him.

"Join your father." He finishes.
