The Unexpected

Playful Conversations

Sirius and Magnolia sat in the living room. They were sitting on the leather couch next to each other. Both had been forced to dress nice by Remus. "I'm old." Sirius complained. Magnolia looked over at him. "That was random." Sirius nodded. "Yeah but it's true." Magnolia messed with the ruffle on the bottom of her dress. "If it makes you feel better I'm the reason we're having this dinner." 

Sirius looked over at her. "It doesn't make me feel better. I'm gay and dating a werewolf." Sirius whispered, nodding slowly. Magnolia shrugged. "My parents are dead." Sirius nodded. "So are mine." Magnolia narrowed her eyes at him. "Alright, I have a bunch of pent up trauma that I keep deep deep down and ignore it." Sirius sighed. "Same," He tapped his fingers against his thigh. "My brother was a death eater and he died in a cave." Magnolia crossed her arms over her chest. "My brothers famous and I'm left in his shadow by everyone." Sirius leaned forward. "I got kicked out when I was sixteen." Magnolia leaned forward. "So was I," 

Harry and Remus watched terrified while Dumbledore watched in awe. "My teacher flirts with me because I look exactly like my mother." Sirius leaned back. "I was locked in Azkaban for a murder I didn't commit for twelve years." Magnolia thought for a minute. "My brother almost dies every year." Sirius looked her in the eye. "Voldemort killed my best friends and I didn't even get to raise their kids, my godchildren." Magnolia grinned. "I'm pregnant with Fred Weasley's baby and I'm sixteen years old." Sirius crossed his arms over his chest. "Oh yeah, well I-wait what?" 

Remus had had enough. "Stop it! Your guys trauma and who does a better job at ignoring it is not a competition and it shouldn't be! So stop it!" Sirius flailed his hands. "Whoa, Whoa, Whoa! How come no one else is surprised by this? She's pregnant!" Sirius threw his hands out gesturing to Magnolia. "Prongslette junior is pregnant. We're going to be grandparents, Moony. This is big stuff." Magnolia opened her mouth to speak. "I uh I don't think-""Shhh, Prongslette the adults are talking." Magnolia sighed. 

"Alright then." Sirius turned back to Remus. "How could you let this happen?" Remus scoffed. "Me? I'm the one who's fault this?" Sirius nodded. "You're the one who's always making jokes and let's not forget who bought her condoms for Christmas last year." Remus said while crossing his arms over his chest. Sirius turned to look at Magnolia. "Those were strictly for emergencies only and you didn't even use them," Magnolia went to open her mouth. "I mean I wouldn't have gotten them for you if I would have known this would have happened." Remus let out a long sigh. "Maybe you shouldn't have gotten her condoms! She's fifteen." 

"Actually I'm sixteen." 

"We were fifteen our first time." Sirius shouted. Remus rubbed his temple. "We couldn't get pregnant and we were drunk. Did we do it again after that?" Sirius turned to Magnolia. "Were you drunk when it happened?" Remus shook his head. "It doesn't matter if she was drunk. She shouldn't have been drunk." Magnolia let out an annoyed sigh. "Everyone teenager drinks, you can't stop them, Remus. They're supposed to go against adults orders!" Remus shook his head. "Not Magnolia. Magnolia's smart." 

Magnolia looked over at Harry, who had an amused smile on his face. Magnolia shook her head. "It's not funny." She lipped. Harry nodded. "It is though."  He mouthed back. Magnolia rolled her eyes and looked back at Remus and Sirius, waiting to speak. 

"Obviously not," Sirius turned to Magnolia. "No offense, Prongslette. You're obviously book smart," Magnolia cracked a smiled as Sirius's hand left her shoulder. "Maybe it's the guys fault. Did you think of that?" Remus sighed. "Sirius, really? You know it takes two people to make a baby." Sirius shook his head. "Unless she was raped. Were you raped?" Magnolia shook her head. "No, Sirius. I wasn't. It was consensual and I was sober." Sirius gasped and turned to Remus. "Did you hear that? She was sober!" Remus nodded. "Yes, Sirius. I heard. I do have heightened senses you know. I can hear. In fact I can hear the baby's heartbeat it's that good so there's no need to yell." Sirius's jaw dropped. "You can hear the heartbeat? Awe. Anyways back to the real problem here, who's the father?" 

Magnolia smiled. "Can I talk now or are you two still talking?" Remus nodded. "You're free to speak." Magnolia smiled. "Thank you. I was sober but I was in love so one thing led to another and I was using those condoms, in fact I ran out. I didn't make the mistake on my own. Neither did the father. We both did it, together. It's not Remus's fault or yours. Did I cover everything?" She asked, turning to Harry. Harry nodded. "I think so." Sirius shook his head. "No, you didn't. Who's the father?" Remus and Magnolia shared a look. "Fred Weasley." Harry answered. 

Remus gave Magnolia a stern look and she shrugged. "Oh. Not George? I thought you two were together." Magnolia shook her head. "No, We uh we ended things last summer." Sirius grinned. "So you've gone after both twins, Up top," Sirius helped his hand up but Remus glared at him causing him to drop it. "What? I was just congratulating her." Remus nodded. "Hmm, and I wonder why this happened?" 

There was a ding from the kitchen and Remus stood up. "Dinner's ready. Let's go so we can get this over with?" Remus, Harry, and Dumbledore walked into the kitchen. Sirius leaned over to Magnolia. "He doesn't realize he's stuck with me after the dinner too." Magnolia shook her head. "No. He doesn't realize he's stuck with you for the rest of your lives." Sirius pulled away and pointed at her. "You're right. His suffering will be eternal, even after we die. Let's go. I'm starving." Magnolia nodded. "Me too."
