RIDDLES PROPERTY

chapter 38

Emelia walked back in her dorm and saw Ginny pacing the room, she paused and looked at her. She seemed anxious. Her eyebrows were furrowed together.

"Oi, Emelia! Where've you been? I was worried for you."

"I was out, but I'm back now. Did I miss anything serious in my classes?"

Ginny sighed.

"I'll tell you later, now isn't a good time."

Ginny nodded and sat on the bed. Her neck had a purple bruise on it and Emelia noticed it.

'A hickey.'

"Erm, Ginny. You got a little something on your neck.", she smirked.

She grew red and grabbed a book to throw at her. Emelia dodged it and laughed.

"Here, come here. I'll help you cover it up. I don't think magic will do much to hide it.", Emelia said.

Ginny raised an eyebrow, but came to sit. Her red hair gleamed with the sun coming through their window. She took a seat and Emelia got out her makeup bag. Inside was green concealer which she used when she was back home. She blended it out and tried to even her skin tone.

"Assuming it went well with Harry.", she joked around.

Ginny's eyes widened.

"Alright, don't tell George or Ron or anyone. Blimey, Emelia...he was huge."

She tried describing him and Emelia slapped her hand over her mouth.

"Yeah, he just said 'that's brilliant' in bed and we both looked at each other and burst out laughing. God, he's really the one, you know? Like I know I'm young, but he's so good to me even under so much pressure."

"That's odd, he always looks like he's having fun. Also, be...cautious and use protection or take the morning after vial."

"Well he's been given some tasks here and there. Don't worry, we're being careful."

Emelia was curious as to what the tasks were, but didn't want to intrude. Once she was done Ginny admired how well it was covered up and thanked her.

"Gin, can I talk to you? It's something serious."

Her face turned serious and she nodded.

"Yeah, of course. I'm here, listening."

Emelia took a deep breath. She didn't open up too often, but soon everyone was bound to know.

"I just found out recently and I'm pregnant.", she stated. It was brief and she tried to not make a big deal out of it.

Ginny gawked at her for a moment and quickly embraced her in a hug.

"Merlin's beard! That's where you were today, I assume. Oh my. Emelia, are you okay? Like, genuinely. This is so much on you, all at once. Is Fred the father??"

Emelia but her lip and shrugged. That was all she could do because, truthfully, she had no idea what she was doing.

"God, have you told your parents?"

"Ginny, my parents are religious freaks. They'll murder me. That's if they find out."

"So you plan on never telling them? Emelia, you've got to tell them at some point, but for now during holidays you could stay at the Burrow. Also, take a paternity test, please.", she begged.

Emelia shrugged again.

All of a sudden, alarms started blaring everywhere. They were so loud Emelia nearly jumped up. Ginny's eyes widened and they went outside to see what was happening. People were rushing in the halls to the courtyard where there was a lot of commotion.
