Her Secret

Untitled Part 16

Maddy had been walking outside in the courtyard waiting for Draco when George approached her. "Hey.." he said awkwardly shifting his weight "long time no see how are you?" "I'm fine" Maddy said wondering why he was talking to her considering the fact that he hated Draco "How are you?" She asked. "I really miss Fred" He said avoiding eye contact. Maddy gave a small smile and hugged him "Me too" she whispered. "I can barely look in the mirror anymore cause every time I do I'm reminded of him" he said his voice breaking a little "It'll be okay" She promised. They stood there embracing for a few seconds in silence before breaking apart. "So why are you here anyways?" Maddy asked attempting to change the subject. "Oh well I was actually here to see you. I was going to ask you if you wanted to have tea sometime and catch up but if you can't I completely understand" "Oh" she said startled by his request "I-I mean of course I'd love to!". "Good" he said relieved "we could either have it at the Burrow or in my flat above the joke shop. I know mums been dying to see you since..well you know" he rambled "Either would be fine I mean I'm not sure how your family would react when they find out I'm engaged to Draco Malfoy and pregnant with his children though" She sighed "Wait children!? As in more than one?" He demanded "Two actually" She smiled "Well congratulations" He said. Just then Maddy saw Draco approaching them. "Oh well there's Draco so I better be off but owl me the details okay?" Yeah of course" He said as Maddy walked of to meet a confused looking Draco.

"What was that about!" Draco demanded when Maddy reached him. "Nothing he was just asking me to tea" She shrugged. "Why is he do interested in you all of the sudden?" He asked "I don't know but he's Fred's brother and you know I was once best friends with both of them and his entire family" "I know I'm just worried about you" he said "Don't be I trust him and so should you" she said stalking off to watch the Quiditch game with Draco in toe. 

Later that night Maddy heard a knock on her window and opened it to find a speckled brown owl holding an envelope in it's beak. Maddy took the envelope from the owl that she recognized to be George's and gave the owl a small treat and let him perch on her desk chair. She opened the cream envelope and proceeded to read the letter inside as she absent-mindedly rubbed her slightly protruding belly. 

Dear Maddy,                                                                                                                                                                                           Please meet me at the my flat tomorrow afternoon at 2:00 if you are available too.                                         Yours truly,                                                                                                                                                                                           George Weasley

Maddy took out her quill and a piece of parchment and wrote a note saying she could are it, then gave it to the owl and sent him on his way. She yawned and decided to go to bed. She crawled between the fluffy covers and turned out the light thinking of the next day.

Maddy awoke to someone kissing her on the forehead and a voice saying "Rise and shine sleeping beauty". She groaned and rolled over away from the voice before she could process the fact that it was Draco. "Five more minutes" she mumbled. Draco laughed and rolled her over so she was facing him. She opened her eyes to see the blinding sun and Draco grinning at her like a maniac. "Hey where were you last night?" She asked groggily sitting up. "Oh I was hanging out with Crab and Goyle" he said. "Oh did you have fu-" but before she could finish what she was saying she started to feel nauseous. She jumped up off the bed and ran to the bathroom with Draco right behind her. She then proceeded to vomit. Maddy felt Draco pull her hair away from her face and soothingly rub her back. She took a deep breath and stood up from her place besides the toilet and went to brush her teeth. "Hey you okay?" Draco asked the concern in his voice evident. "I'm fine it's just morning sicknes" She said as she brushed her teeth. "Are you sure? Maybe you should stay in bed today and rest" he said frantically "I really am fine it's not that big of a deal besides I'm going to tea this afternoon" she sighed walking back to her room and sitting down on the bed. "I should probably get dressed and then we can go down to breakfast okay?" She said giving Draco a pec on the lips and pushing him out the door as he laughed.

2:00 rolled around and Maddy found herself knocking on the door of George's flat above the joke shop. George answered with a grin on his face and gave her a massive hug. "Come on in" he said as he led her into a room that had a small wooden circular table with and two chairs. The table was set with a floral china tea set and a vase of wild flowers with a small plate of mini cakes. Maddy giggled a little at the tea set. "It was a gift from mum" he shrugged laughing a little. Maddy sat down in the chair closest to the window and George sat across from her.  "It's enchanted to be whatever flavor makes you happiest" he said as he poured her a glass of tea. "It smells heavenly!" She exclaimed. She took a sip of the tea and sighed in contempment. It tasted like freshly baked brownies but changed to peppermint stick icecreem then butter beer. "That's simply divine" she said and then proceeded to drink the entire cup full. George smiled at her and ate one of the little cakes but didn't touch his tea. All of the sudden Maddy started to feel lightheaded. She tried to stand up but stumbled and fell over. The last thing she saw was George smiling wickedly above her before the darkness closed in and she felt it's velvety tendrils pulling her in.
