Harry Potter One Shots

Pregnant :: Percy Weasley

I stared in shock at the positive test I held in my hands. It wasn't something unexpected but it wasn't something we weren't totally against either.

Sure, Percy and I had been intimate on many occasions, but we always used a protection spell, and never once did we forget it, Percy wouldn't let me hear the end of it if we did.

Percy being-well, Percy he always was cautious about safety and making sure that we didn't create something we didn't want at the time, we were engaged, to be married next month and now we have an unexpected surprise.

"Y/n? Are you in there?" Ginny called from the other side of the door.

"Y-Yeah." I said. She opened the door carefully and closed it right behind her.

"What is that?" She asked, raking the stick from me to inspect it.

"Are you pregnant?" I nodded, she covered her mouth before hugging me tightly.

"I'm so happy for you."

"Thanks, I guess I'm happy too."

In reality I had no idea what to feel. Of course I loved Percy and Percy loved me, we've been together for five years, but was he ready for a child? Was I ready for a child? We were both thirteen when we started dating, and now we were eighteen soon to be nineteen. We're still young but maybe this will be a good thing for us.

We were both proud graduates of Hogwarts, Percy immediately got a job at the ministry of magic while I was helping around at Hogwarts, being a professors assistant if you will.

"How do you think Percy will take the news?" Ginny asked, putting the stick on the sink counter.

"I don't know, we're engaged and married next month, thankfully the bump won't be existent yet, and if it is it'll be small. Percy was strict about wanting kids after marriage." I rambled, tears welled up in my eyes.

"Look, I'm sure he'll be okay with it. Technically the baby won't come until after you're married, so he is getting his wish." You nodded, as Ginny's words make sense.

"Why can't you be there when I tell him?"

"Sorry y/n, but I will be there when you tell everyone else." She smiled and walked out of the bathroom, leaving me and my thoughts to rest.

Time skip brought to you by Voldemort's Nipple. (If you get the reference *high five*)

I had gotten a grip on this new life, that I will have a baby in nine months, and I couldn't be more excited, but I still had to tell Percy. I gave myself a mental pep talk, reminding myself that no matter what happens, I'll be okay.

I grabbed the stick and put it in my back pocket before walking out of the bathroom and across the hall to Percy's room, as we were staying at the Burrow to visit his family for the holidays.

"Hey love. Everything alright?" Percy asked, tilting his head in concern. I felt heat rise to my cheeks as I nodded.

"What is it? Something must be on your mind." I gulped, before sitting down on the bed. Pulling the stick from my pocket and handing it to Percy to look at.

He rose an eyebrow before reluctantly taking it, seeing the positive marking right away.

"I don't understand." He held it up again, looking at me with a worried expression.

"I'm pregnant, Percy." I said quietly, he put the stick down and ran his fingers through his curly red hair.

"I-I don't understand, we were always safe."

"Protection spells only work 97% of the time Perce, it's worked for us previously but maybe this last time it just didn't work." I stopped talking and looked at him, he was stressed, I could tell he was, as my heartbeat started to quicken, I was worried about him calling off the engagement, maybe he was too worked up about this.

"Are you mad?" He shook his head instantly as his eyes widened.

"Don't think for a minute that I don't want this. Sure we're young and not married yet, but we will get through it together, and we will have a beautiful Weasley baby." He grabbed both of my hands, kissing my knuckles, before I rose them to his cheeks, kissing him passionately.

"I love you both so much." He whispered.

"I love you too, Perce, and I know the baby does too." I said quietly as he placed his hands on my still flat stomach.
