The Fever Grows

Summary The baby fever kept getting worse and worse she couldn't even look at Albus without turning bright red.

Raven didn’t know how to stop it.

Every time she looked at Albus, her face would heat up, her heart would pound, and her mind would immediately spiral into thoughts she had no business thinking about.

It had gotten so bad that even Scorpius noticed.

“Oi, why do you look like you just ran a marathon every time Albus walks in?” he asked over breakfast, nudging her with his elbow. “You’re blushing.”

Raven nearly choked on her pumpkin juice. “I—I am not!”

Albus, completely unaware, was sitting across from her, chatting with Rose about their upcoming Potions essay. He turned to her and smiled. “Are you okay?”

Her entire face turned red.

“I—I’m fine,” she stammered, immediately looking down at her plate.

Scorpius snickered. “Ohhh, this is hilarious.”

Raven shot him a glare. “Shut up.”

Rose arched a brow. “You still have baby fever, don’t you?”

Raven groaned and buried her face in her hands. “It’s getting worse! I swear, I can’t even look at him without my brain going insane. I don’t even know why!”

Scorpius grinned. “Oh, I definitely know why.”

Raven kicked him under the table.

Albus, looking completely confused, glanced between them. “Uh… am I missing something?”

Rose smirked. “Oh, nothing. Just girl talk.”

Albus shrugged. “Alright, if you say so.”

Raven let out a silent breath of relief, but the second Albus ran a hand through his messy black hair—his green eyes sparkling with curiosity—her mind immediately betrayed her.

And Merlin help her, she blushed again.
