Harry's Second Chance

Pitiful Looks and Murderous Scowls

It has been three months since the reveal of Sirius's irresponsible idiocy. And Tatumn had been getting many pitiful looks and rude comments.
"Slut!" A Slytherin prefect hissed with a nasty grin.
She ducked her head and went on to class. Her hand laid protectively over her small bump.
"Tatumn!" Sirius called.
"What?" She asked irritated. Even though Sirius Sr. said he was to take care of Tatumn all he did was ask why they had to keep it and if she's taken her potions.
"What's your problem?" He growled
"You. You're my problem." She hissed.
"What have I done now?" He mumbled.
"Every time you want to talk to me its to ask my why I had to keep it and if I've taken my potions. You don't care about me at all. And I feel that maybe a small part of you cares about this baby but as for me, I'm just the girl who ruined your life." She yelled, tears spilling down her face.
"You need to calm down Tate." he whispered.
"I am calm!" She growled
"No you're not. And it's not good for the baby, stress can hurt him." Sirius reasoned.
Tatumn laughed.
"You don't even know the sex of your own baby. News-flash dumb ass. It's a girl. Okay a girl. I've told you a hundred times now that it's a girl." She scoffed walking away.
Sirius ran his hands through his hair. Did this really have to happen to him? Yeah he liked playing the field but seriously she was over reacting. Right?
Maybe she is just hormonal. He thought.

Tatumn stormed up to the common room and started a letter.

"Dear Padfoot,

I'm letting Sirius off the hook. He doesn't care. I know you told him that he had to take care of us, but that's not what I want. All he does is ask why I kept her, and he's a real prat about everything. He keeps calling the baby a boy. I've told him numerous times its a girl. I even had him there when I found out. He drives me mad. I can't do this anymore. I don't want him to be a part of my life anymore. And I'm not going to let him hurt my baby either. Since clearly I'm the only one who wants this baby. I'm sorry.

-Tatumn"

With that she stuck it to Crumps leg and sent him to Sirius. She knew how mad everyone will be with her decision. But it's what best for me and my child. She thought. We're better off without him.
She laid her hand over her swollen abdomen and cried.
"Who knew the most unplanned things can be the things you love most." she whispered lovingly.
"Tatumn?" She her a soft voice ask. She looked over to see Ginny walking towards her.
"Hey Gin." She said.
"How was today?" She asked
"Well Sirius was his usual self. And I wrote s letter to his father telling him I'm letting him off the hook. That he didn't want to be here and I didn't want him here." She whispered
"Tatumn, are you sure about this. Cause you know as well as I do the moment he gets to jump ship he's going to." Ginny said seriously
"Yes Ginny I know. But I can't let him hurt her. He can hurt me but he's not hurting my baby." Tatumn said rubbing a hand over her stomach.
"You're going to be a great Mum Tatumn." Ginny smiled.
"Thank you Ginny." She said happily.
"How's Harry been?" Tatumn asked.
"He's been a bloody nightmare. He won't give Sirius the time of day. Only talks to me and Ron and Hermione. I'm worried about him. He's not himself." She whispered sadly.
"It's my fault. One firewhiskey too many and then bam you're life as you know it is over." Tatumn mumbled.
Ginny laughed. "I believe I told you that was too strong and you should stick with butterbeer."
"Yeah yeah and look where it's landed me. Oh forgive me oh great one." Tatumn joked.
The two girls laughed and talked for hours.
Giggling about the stupidest stuff. It wasn't till Harry, Ron, and Hermione walked in that they stopped.
"Harry." Ginny said happily walking up to him and giving him a kiss on the cheek.
"Hey Gin." he said, happiness in his eyes.
"What's taken yall so long?" She asked.
"Um. Well I had to knock some sense into Sirius, and I don't think it worked. I caught him with several girls in the past two hours. Padfoot is going to kill him. And he deserves it." Harry grouched.
"Actually Harry, that would be because of me." Tatumn muttered.
"What do you mean?" He asked confused.
"I wrote a letter to Padfoot, telling him I was letting Sirius off the hook. He obviously doesn't care. I said that all he talks to me about was why I didn't get rid of it. And he keeps calling her and he even though he was there when I found out it was a she and have told him a great number of times that its a girl. I can't take him anymore Harry. I don't want him in my life or my babies life." She said for the third time tonight.

Many emotions were going through Harry's face. Anger was the most evident. He sighed.
"I will support your decision but that doesn't mean I have to like him." Harry mumbled. Shocking everyone.
"Thank you Harry!" She cried hugging him.
"No problem Tate. I'm always here for you. We all are."
