As It Was *Complete*

99. Taking On Clients

The hall erupted in whispering and muttering as everyone again looked between the couple. This time however it didn't annoy Astra as much as before. Draco had declared his love for her and she realised that she didn't give a damn what everyone thought. Fuck 'em. She was in love and she was having her soul mates baby. Life was good.

Maybe not for Astoria who still looked...different and was sobbing harder than ever.

"I think we better head to my office," Professor McGonagall said trying to pull the student to her feet unsuccessfully. She ended up flicking her wand and Astoria was bounced into standing up, giving a yelp.

"Will you tell my parents?" She sobbed and turned to the Headmistress as tears and boogers ran down her face.

"If they don't I will," Daphne warned. "I'm sick of your attitude lately."

"But -"

Daphne held up her hand. "Trying to poison Draco, trying to curse his fiancé and unborn child, having a different guy in your dorm every evening, smoking, drinking...everything." She folded her arms as Astoria tried to protest. "Too little too late Tori."

Astoria looked to the couple folding her arms and sulking. "Fine," she snapped. "Have him. I don't need or want him. Not now. Sophie was right and -"

"Nice try!" Sophie said from her seat opposite the Ravenclaw table. "Sophie is keeping her head down and said nothing at all." She looked to Astra. Not Draco but Astra. "I didn't say anything! I'm in enough trouble." Astra simply nodded as Sophie let out a deep breath. "Besides I can't go near them and I would NEVER try to hurt a baby."

"And I didn't realise I required your permission to be with my fiancée Astoria," Astra smirked. "Professor what will happen now?" Draco opened his mouth to protest. He knew Astra. He knew she wouldn't let Astoria be punished too hard. Same with Sophie although lately she hadn't been able to get near them. He wanted to groan. Astra would go easy on her and Astoria would get a simple slap on the -

"I want to ensure Astoria is punished for poisoning my Fiancé, my child's father. If we weren't examore purissimo this story could be very different. She could have inflicted some real damage." Astra held her head high as she spoke. Draco had his mouth open as he stared at his girl in disbelief. Ron, Blaise, and Theo too. Harry was nodding and smiling. Pansy, Hermione, Maddi and Ginny were holding and squeezing each other's hands.

"She will be," Professor McGonagall nodded. "I assure you she will."

"I will ensure she will," Severus said. "I suggest you get moving Miss Greengrass," he bellowed. "Before I really lose my temper!" Astoria jumped to her feet and ran from the hall with a smirking Severus following her and a Headmistress who rolled her eyes as she walked.

That left everyone in the hall staring at the table, the group and mostly Astra and Draco. Astra was blushing now furiously, hating the attention. "Can we help you lot?" Draco snapped. "Want a fucking picture?"

"So you are Snape's daughter?" One guy in the crowd asked.

Astra nodded. Might as tell lay it all out there. She couldn't hide it now. "Yes, Severus Snape is my biological father. I only recently found out."

"And your mother?" A girl in this year asked. "Did you know her?"

Astra looked to Harry who nodded encouragingly. "My mother was Lily Evan's. It's a long story but suffice to say she and her boyfriend broke up for a while, and she met me dad and got pregnant with me. Not long after she had me, she got married to her boyfriend. Her soulmate and she got pregnant with Harry." The hall gasped at this new information. "So Harry Potter is my half brother."
