Chapter 25: The breaking of Olivia Warwick

~•~

Both girls could feel the colour drain from their faces almost instantly, their best friend; Alexis Rosier was pregnant.

"It's Blaise's right?" Olivia asked after a moment of hesitation.

"Of course but–"

"–but what?"

"I'm not even sixteen, I can't have a child." Alexis stuttered as tears gathered quickly in her eyes while Olivia and Serena instantly wrapped their arms around her, comforting their best friend.

"Before you do anything I think you need to speak with Blaise on this one." Olivia offered as she pulled the towel off her hair and dropped it in the clothes hamper before she turning to see two very startled faces.

"What?"

"Uh– your. ." Alexis began.

". .hair?" Serena finished.

She cursed under her breath as she rushed into the bathroom. The mirror was still incredibly foggy as she wiped her hand across the glass several times. Ignoring her abnormally pale face as she picked up on brown hair.

Completely brown.

No ginger.

Her eyes widened as she continued to stare into the mirror, she had been assured by Sirius and Remus that her hair would stay ginger for another couple of months at least but now it was miraculously brown and panicking Olivia.

Thinking on her toes she grabbed her shampoo bottle and rushed into her bedroom, grabbing a jacket and pulling on her trainers, "Someone charmed my shampoo." She muttered quickly.

"Who?" Serena asked.

"Not a clue but I'm going to go ask Professor Snape about it now." She slipped into her black jacket before pulling her damp hair out and leaving it to hang over her shoulders as small, loose curls began to form while pulling her hood up for extra precaution.

When she reached the common room she cursed under her breath when she saw the Quidditch team gathered on the couch in front of the fireplace. Theo noticed her first as she attempted to rush out without being seen, "Hey, Olivia!" He shouted after her as Draco stood up with Blaise at his side.

She stopped dead in her tracks, unwilling to turn around until four boys approached her, "Love why an earth are you running?" Draco asked as he reached for her hood.

Pulling it down she turned around slowly to face Draco, Blaise, Theo and Graham. All of who furrowed their brows at the sudden change in the girl, "You're not sick again are you?" Draco asked, caressing the girl's cheek.

Her eyes were anywhere but on Draco or Blaise as she swallowed hard and shook her head, "What's going on?" Graham asked wearily, crossing his arms over his chest.

"You, Serena and Alexis have been. .out of sorts recently." Blaise commented, "Alexis especially, she won't even talk to me."

"And why is your hair brown?" Draco asked twirling a stand of her hair.

"Uh. ." Olivia fumbled over her words as all four boys watched her closely, "Blaise its not my place to tell you, b-but you need to talk with her and love, I don't know." She rushed quickly out of the common room and down towards Snape's office.
