🎊🎈🎉HAPPY NEW YEAR 🎉🎈🎊

Bella was being kissed.

She pulled away.

Tom.

She backed away from him and straight into the drinks table. They we're currently in the back garden of Malfoy Manor watching fireworks. The table was pushed, bottles smashing off of each other, right into Charlotte, who's dress got covered in alcohol. Rhea quickly pulled her inside. Probably for the best as the red quickly be came aware of who was in front of them. Tom reached out and placed a hand on her stomach. She slapped it away and he frowned.

"You can't stop me from showing affection for my own child. Now can you?" He smirked. Knowing the table cut her off from everyone else. And everyone else was pretty drunk.

"Yes!" She spat back, attempting to walk further backwards but failing, her heels sinking into the now alcohol soaked grass. "You will never lay a hand on my child!"

"It takes two to tango my darling." He stepped closer, Bella knew if she moved any further away she would fall on the broken glass behind her. "That is my child you are carrying so we will be married."

"NO!" Tom flicked his head up to the source of the shout. James. "It's my child! Not yours mine!"

"YOU LIE." With a flash Tom pulled his wand from his pocket, "Crucio!" He yelled. James fell to the floor writhing in pain. Tom grabbed Bella's arm and began to pull her into the shadows, cursing anyone who tried to stop him with a crucio.

"NO! Stop! Please don't hurt them!" Bella screamed as he dragged her further into the darkness of the surrounding forest. "I'll do anything, just don't hurt them." She dug her heel into his ankle and she got away slightly. She stumbled forward but tripped and fell into the grass.

Tom went to grab her arm but she's already pulled out her wand and pointed it at her stomach. "Don't you dare you foolish child!"

"I'm carrying your only heir!" She began to stand, keeping her wand to her stomach. "If I wasn't, what would you do?" She paused to let him answer but he stayed silent, a sneer came over his face. "You would have no right to force me to marry you. You'd have to wait until I was eighteen. And by then we could have figured out a way to defeat you, Lucius, your sister and all of your minions." Tom didn't say anything, he didn't need to, his face said it all.

"Bella don't!" Draco shouted from behind. "You could die!"

"I don't care! One for one hundred! Remember James. Do you remember that?" Bella shouted back. James thought back to when she left in the first place, at the end of her 3rd year.

"I remember..." he replied. "I'm not going to tell you what to do. I don't deserve to. Just know, I love you, always have always will. Be strong Bella."

"ENOUGH!" Tom shouted, waving his wand and sending another wave of crucio to James, who crumpled to the ground, screaming in pain. Ginny ran to his side.

"I only have one word for you Tom Riddle...." Bella's grip on her wand tightened, her face grew more and more determined. The voices in the background faded away as she muttered what could be her last word. "Crucio..." right into her stomach.










Just kidding that's not it yet. Tricked you!! 🥰😂

Just keep reading.

Bella fell to her knees, whispering the curse over and over. She could feel her thighs getting wet with blood. She was miscarrying.

Draco and Harry managed to get rid of Tom before he could do anything. They ran to Bella's side and Draco pulled her onto his lap. Her dress now stained with blood and her eyes fluttering. Like she couldn't decided if she wanted to be conscious or not.

Then it was quiet. Starla held Lily close as she cried into her shoulder. Ginny held onto a now recovering James. Scorp was rooted to the spot with Albus by his side. Bella finally came round.

"I'm fine, I'm fine," she sat up and Draco pulled her in for a hug. "I really didn't think that was going to work."

"Neither did I, you were right, I stand corrected." Draco smiled, "Accio towel." A towel came flying out the house and he handed it to Bella.

"What?!" Lily stepped forward, wiping her tears. "What the hell are you talking about?"

Bella stood up after wiping the majority of the blood off. "You're right," she began, "you deserve an explication. Let's get inside. We don't know who could be listening." They all trooped inside and to the main living room. "So, we knew that after James' outburst in the Great Hall two weeks ago it would only be a matter of time before the Evils would figure out what this meant. Thanks to ancient Wizarding Law if a woman falls pregnant out of wedlock and the father wants to marry her, she has no noice but to obay, no matter of age. Or what parents say. Had he asked properly I would have had to accept. The only way to stop that was if I was no longer pregnant. Of course a real abortion could be intercepted and stopped, we had to do when he was there and had no way of stopping it. When he was surrounded." She paused to allow everyone to catch up. "James was a part of this. We knew that things would go south should Tom notice the bags of fake blood under my dress. So we brought James in to annoy him, by saying the child was his, I knew you'd all try and help so I intentionally crashed into the table. Knowing he'd have no choice but to lead me into the woods, where it would be too dark for him to see the bags, only the blood.

"What about the curses?" Ginny asked

"They were real, I'm sorry James." He shook his head and smiled. "I did curse myself but a little further down than anyone noticed. I did it to my leg to I would tense it hard enough to burst the bag."

"Smart." Lily said, "I just wish you'd told us."

"We couldn't risk too many people knowing otherwise the whole this might seem staged."

"So you're still pregnant?" Hermione piped up for the first time.

"Yes, and this time no one will be getting drunk and revealing that. This has to be the best kept secret in the world." She shot a meaningful look at James, who returned it with a nod. "Promise?"

The whole room replied with one big... "I promise."

Because everyone knows a promise of family is everlasting.

...But what if they're not family... yet.
