"Gather around students, and be quiet" The headmistress of Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry calls to the 7th-year students.

Elise Pierce makes her way to the Ravenclaw table, she's the only one. She looks around and does a headcount, twelve students, only. Five Gryffindor, four Slytherin, two Hufflepuff and one Ravenclaw

"Oh, Ravenclaws and Hufflepuffs just sit with the Slytherin, even it out a bit" Ravenclaw, Elise corrected before quietly walking to the Slytherin table, sitting a couple of feet away from the group of Slytherin.

"Now, as you all know, we have asked all of you to come back and do your seventh year again, due to the past events, we want you to still have the best chance of a future. So we took the matters into our own hands and have discussed this matter with the Ministry, they have agreed to place this into effect: Staring the following week the fowling students will be paired, stationed, and taught. Hermione and Ron Weasley,  Ginny and Harry Potter, Suzan Bone and Dean Thomas, Pansy and Blaise Zabini,  Elise and Draco Malfoy, and lastly Bella and Theodore Nott." Discussion, broke out, but Elise's mind pushed it out, she knew she had to be hearing the pair's wrong, but the words played over in her head like a tape on repeat, Elise and Draco Malfoy. Over and over again.

A knot formed in Elise's stomach, threatening to make her throw up the treats she had bought on the train ride here. She placed a hand on her stomach and breathed in, her stomach moulding her ribs for a second, then she breathed out, and they disappeared.

"Now, now, students, silence. There is more, along with your studies and classes there will be a new class along with responsibilities, it is called the 'Baby Assignment' it is made of four courses, Expectancy, Pregnancy, parenthood, and letting go."

"The Baby Assignment?" Draco snorted rudely. Elise closed her eyes and hoped highly that she wasn't actually with him.

She hopeded McGonagall read it wrong and that she was with someone else, not the foul, rude, disrespectful, former Death Eater, that had once tried to kill her.

"How this will work is; when your new or current last name is called I will hand you an Envelope with your new or current last name embedded on it, you will find the key to your flat you will be sharing with not only your partner but also your soon-to-be children. In your envelopes, there are a number of vials full of a potion that the girl of the relationship must drink to get pregnant, safely. Before you drink, the boy and the girl must follow the instructions on the back of the vials strictly, when you get your envelops, you may leave" Elise's stomach tightened, even more, Pregnant? Flat? Relationship? Children? Her breathing sped up, and she wanted to throw up, just to get the nastiness out of her stomach

"Weasley" Ron and Hermione made their way to the professor took their envelope and left. "Potter" The couple followed suit, then one after the other they did the same. "Thomas, Zabini, Malfoy," Elise stood but didn't walk to the professor only outside the great hall. Her stomach couldn't handle more.

"The flat is this way" Draco sounded annoyed.

"Um...yea of course" Elise muttered, following Draco to number 117.

The outside looked like any other dorm but with the number 117 hung on the door, the inside was much different, it looked very modern but homey, for Elise at least. Draco looked disgusted. "We have to live in this? For the year? This is where the house elves should live" She ignored him, and begged for Draco to hurry, the urge to puke was growing stronger.

Elise walked in after Draco, forgetting all about the sick feeling, it was like a dream. She noticed a stand where she assumed shoes were for, then slipped off her shoes and placed them neatly on the shelf and continued, there is a bathroom across from the entrance space then, a handsome kitchen made of steel appliances, and the same dark polished wood as the door.

A polished black couch was placed in the middle of one of the dark grey walls, with a tall and clear rounded, side table. The whole room was lit by a big window of sunlight, Elise stood in the warmness, and let it wrap it's big warm arms around her, her eyes closed she almost forgot about the knot in her stomach, until it took over her, she had to sleep in the same flat as Draco Malfoy, a death eater, she had to be paired with him for the rest of the year. She held her stomach and ran upstairs to the nearest bathroom, locking the door just before she made it to the toilet and threw up.

26 minutes later she still was throwing up, soft tears dripping down to her chin. She gave it 15 more minutes, and when she stopped throwing up, she took a long hot shower, replaying the same recording, Elise and Draco Malfoy.

She didn't even use my last name, thought Elise, now squeezing the extra water from her hair, then wrapping a towel round herself. She searched through the drawers of the bathroom and found children's bathroom supplies, she stared at the supplies and tried to wrap her head around having children, she shrugged the thought off for now and took the small brush and brushed through her short brown and bleached hair, not having too much trouble.

Suddenly Draco's voice came. "Alohamora" and Elise sprang back into the shower with her towel wrapped around her.

"Merlin," She breathed.

"This is my bathroom too," Draco said after a pause.

"Right, sorry" Elise studdered out, her stomach churning. Please don't throw up, please don't throw up.

Draco awkwardly checked the bathroom and rumidged through the drawers then left, not even bothering to close the door.

Elise waited three minutes before carefully and cautiously getting out of the shower and closing the door. She dried her sun-kissed skin quickly, and bundled up her clothes and glasses while holding the towel around herself.

Openeing the door, slowly making sure Draco wasn't anywhere near. She looked left to right down the hallway nothing, then she remembered, she didn't know where her room was. At one end of the hallway there were two doors connected in a 'v' next to each other, she tried both doors, locked. She huffed as she was growing impatient and turned to the door at the other end of the hallway, which was unlocked. It was dark with the door closed, with almost no light coming threw the curtains, she flicked on the lights taking in the perfect picturesque room.

A rich dark oak wood king sized bed is placed in the middle of the room, with two matching night tables on either side of the bed. The blankets are a dark green, Slythrerin, Elise thought, not liking the idea of sleeping in a slytherin bed. This room could be Draco's, a voice told her, she froze at a sound of a door opening.

"I'm sorry, I thought this was my room. I'll leave" She rushed out only guessing the disgust on Draco's face at her darker skin and not-so-skinniness, still holding her towel and clothes and dashed to the bathroom, locking the door.
