James knew Parvati pretty damn well and could tell that she was lying to him. It was obvious that there was something wrong and he wasn't sure why she insisted on lying and telling him that she was fine. "Parvati," he said, dropping his tool to the ground and then moving over towards her. He took her tool and placed it down, then gently lifted her chin to have her look at him. "Obviously something is bothering you right now. What's wrong?" he asked gently, not knowing what was running through his girlfriend's mind and getting her so freaked out.

**Parvati Patil** April 24th 2011, 4:48 am

Parvati looked up at him when he said her name and set his tool down, letting go of her tool when he took it from her and put it on the ground. She looked up at him for a moment as he spoke before averting her eyes for a second, looking down for a moment before looking back at him. She really didn't know how to put this and it was definitely freaking her out just from thinking about it so she figured she should just make sure that he hadn't used the charm. "James, you--you cast the charm, right? Behind the house?" She asked him, really hoping that the answer was yes. "The contraceptive charm." She added quietly.

**James Sirius Potter** April 24th 2011, 5:17 am

James was growing more and more concerned when she chose to not look at him, regardless to the fact that he was gently holding her face up towards his. When she finally spoke, he felt as though the air had been completely knocked out of him. He hadn't even thought about the charm at all, his mind completely focused on seducing her and then having the quickie against the house. "Oh gods," he said, gently dropping her chin and then placing his face in his hands. "I should have said something," he groaned. "I...I don't know the charm. I should have reminded you though....such an idiot...this is all my fault. I'm so sorry, Parv," he said, looking up at her with an apologetic expression.

**Parvati Patil** April 24th 2011, 5:23 am

Parvati let out a shaky breath as he said that he didn't even know the charm, that was definitely not what she wanted to hear. She shook her head as he said that it was all his fault, for she really didn't see it as being his fault at all. She was the only one out of them both to actually know the charm so she should have remembered. "No, don't aplogize James." She said quietly. "It's not your fault. I should have remembered the charm. I know it so it was my responsibility." She added, staring at the ground for a few moments, not really sure what to say to that. She really was freaking out though, for she really hoped that James had cast the charm and she had forgotten.

**James Sirius Potter** April 24th 2011, 5:39 am

"Just because out of the two of us you know it, that doesn't make it solely your responsibility," he pointed out after lowering his hands. "It's...it's alright," he said with a small nod. "I mean, the worst that could happen is...well..." he broke off, imagining the worst that could happen. Sure, he wanted kids one day, but he was only seventeen and Parv was only sixteen. It wasn't something that he had imagined happening until one day in the far future. "Whatever happens, will be okay. And...and just because we forgot, it doesn't necessarily mean you'll get pregnant," he said.

**Parvati Patil** April 24th 2011, 5:45 am

Parvati swallowed the lump in her throat as he brought up the worst thing that could happen. In her mind the worst thing that could happen was pretty bad. “I know, I know.” She said quietly as he said that she might not even get pregnant. “But still, there is that chance that I will.” She said quietly, freaking out on the inside. She couldn’t imagine being pregnant, she wouldn’t be able to handle it. What would she tell all of her friends? They would all have to notice eventually. She didn’t even want to think about what her parents would say or think if she told them she was pregnant.

**James Sirius Potter** April 24th 2011, 5:59 am

James suddenly didn't want to spend any more time on the field. He wanted to take Parvati and just go back to the bed and hold her and comfort her. There was nothing they could do about it now and he knew the next month was going to be rough as they waited to find out. He picked up their tools and motioned with his head for her to follow him. "Come on. Let's go back to Joe's house and just relax," he suggested. "I don't really think working's a good idea right now," he said with a small sigh, walking to the man in charge of the field and spitting out some lie about food poisoning.

**Parvati Patil** April 24th 2011, 6:04 am

Parvati looked at him curiously as he picked up both of their tools and started walking off the field, but she immediately followed closely behind him and nodded as he suggested they go back to Joe's house and relax. "Yeah, I agree." She said quietly and waited for James to talk to the guy about why they were leaving. She reached her hand out for his once they were on the main road, headed towards Joe's house, and took his hand in hers, intertwining her fingers with his as they walked down the street. Once they got to Joe's house she pushed the door open and walked in, seeing it was empty she made sure the door closed behind them before she walked through the living area and into their room.

**James Sirius Potter** April 25th 2011, 11:19 pm

James remained quite as they entered the house and then headed to the room where they were staying. He felt lost in his own thoughts and it felt as though his mind was running a mile a minute. He knew that rationally, there was no reason to panic yet, that there was no guarantee that she was actually pregnant, but he was still concerned. When in the room, he sat down on the edge of the bed, kicking his shoes off before climbing in and holding out his hand so that Parv came close to him and he could intertwine their fingers. It was always something that comforted, the simplicity in just having their fingers twisted together a calming thing. "If...if you are...you know, well..." he began, not ready to really say that P word. "We'll make it work. You know I'll be by your side through everything that we encounter."

**Parvati Patil** April 26th 2011, 3:20 am

Parvati walked over to the bed with him and grabbed onto his hand, immediately intertwining their fingers as she sat down next to him. She slid her feet out of her shoes and pulled her legs up on the bed, crossing her legs and sitting Indian style on the bed. She leaned into James' side, her head resting on his shoulder as she kept her hand in his. Parvati nodded at his words. She trusted James, she really did but she still had this little question in her that was trying to get out. She knew she probably shouldn't ask because the answer was pretty obvious but she still couldn't help but have a small part of her that thought his answer might be the opposite of what she wanted. She waited a moment before turning her head and looking at him. "You really mean that, right James?" She asked quietly. "I mean, if I am," She paused for a second before swallowing the lump in her throat. "pregnant, you'll stay with me? Even if we get back to our own time and we don't just have each other anymore? You won't leave me for someone else, will you?" She asked, slightly worried. She did love and trust James but with the whole idea of possibly being pregnant right now on her mind she couldn't help but think of the negative aspect of everything.

**James Sirius Potter** April 26th 2011, 7:27 am

James looked at her with slight surprise for of course he had been honest with her. Why would he even say something like that if he hadn't meant it? He was usually pretty good with telling the truth, even when it was something that he probably ought to keep to himself. He never really lied, but he did control what came out of his mouth. It's called having a filter, something his mum had nagged him about a lot. His expression of shock softened though when she asked her question. "Parv, have I ever given you a reason to doubt me?" he asked. "I'm so in love with you that I honestly wouldn't mind spending the rest of my life with you. My heart is yours for as long as you want it, no matter where we are in time. Even if you are...pregnant, that's not going to change. Nothing will change my feelings for you," he promised.

**Parvati Patil** April 26th 2011, 7:41 am

Parvati shook her head when he asked if he had ever given her a reason to doubt him and she shifted on the bed slightly, moving so that she was laying down on her back, her head resting in his lap as she held his hand in both of hers. “Well, that definitely makes me feel a little better about everything.” She said quietly. She was still freaking out quite a bit because she honestly had no idea how she would handle it if she was pregnant. She didn’t know one thing about raising a baby and she couldn’t even begin to imagine how much it would change her life. She would have to stop cheering after she started getting bigger, and she would have to deal with a baby during her seventh year and she honestly didn’t even think she could do it.

**James Sirius Potter** April 26th 2011, 6:34 pm

James watched as she laid down, her head resting on his knees and he couldn't help but to keep his eyes on her as he attempted to analyze what she was thinking based on her facial expressions. He moved a hand to lightly brush her hair back, his fingers running gently through the soft strands as he kept watching her. "Parv, I know it's going to be hard, but you really shouldn't think too much about it right now. I think...I think we need to just try and act as though everything is normal. We're not going to be able to do anything when in this time period, right? Just try not to start planning for something that might not even be there," he said softly.

**Parvati Patil** April 27th 2011, 12:51 am

Parvati listened to everything he was saying and nodded slowly, still keeping her head resting on him as she looked up at him. "Yeah, I know." She said quietly. "I can't not think about it though." She said and let out a large sigh. "I can't stop thinking about it." She said, her eyes closing as she tried to just clear her mind and think about something else. Think about Alvin, she thought, and her mom and dad. She opened her eyes after a few moments and looked at him. "I want to distract myself. I really do. I don't want to think about it but I can't not think about it." She said with another sigh, wishing she could go for a long run to distract herself like she normally would have done if she was in the right time period.

**James Sirius Potter** April 28th 2011, 12:14 am

James completely understood that she wouldn't be able to easily put the whole thing out of her mind, for he definitely wasn't able to. It was good advice, but wasn't something that could be done easily. He was quiet for a moment, trying to think of a good distraction but not really able to think of anything. "Do you have anything in mind that you want to do?" he asked. "I mean, we could go and try to buy fruit or vegetables or something with the little bit of money we've got. Or we could go to the stream again," he suggested.

**Parvati Patil** April 28th 2011, 12:23 am

Parvati thought for a moment, she honestly didn't know what they could do to get her mind off things. Whenever she tried to think of anything else her mind someone managed to drift back to thinking about what could happen to her. She sat up so she wasn't laying on him anymore, keeping her hand in his as she sat next to him. "Do you want to go for a walk?" She asked him. "And maybe we'll run into someone selling fruits or vegetables on the walk." She suggested. Even though if all she was doing was walking she would probably think about it a lot.

**James Sirius Potter** April 29th 2011, 4:13 am

James pushed himself up slightly, giving her hand a gentle squeeze before letting it go so that he could get out of the bed. "That sounds good to me," he said, standing up and then putting his shoes back on. He went over to the table, grabbing the two coins that they had made yesterday and putting them into a pocket of his tunic. Waiting until she was set, James then took her hand in his and led the two of them out of the room and then house. "Err, maybe that way?" he suggested, pointing in the opposite direction down the street then where the work field was. "Maybe we'll find something over there."

**Parvati Patil** April 29th 2011, 4:22 am

Parvati climbed out of the bed and stepped into her shoes. She grabbed his hand and nodded as he said they should walk in the direction opposite of the field. "Yeah, sounds good." She said quietly as she kept her fingers intertwined with his. She really just could not wait until tomorrow, for she just wanted to know if she was pregnant or not. If she wasn't, it would take a huge weight off of her shoulders. But if she was, well, it would be nice to be sure but it definitely would not be nice to be pregnant during only her sixth year. She just walked along the path with James, looking down at the ground and not saying anything.

**James Sirius Potter** April 29th 2011, 4:40 am

James walked with her down the path, not really what to say. He would glance over at her every now and then and notice that her gaze didn't lift from the ground. He truly felt horrible about the whole thing and he only hoped that she really wasn't. How would his parents react? What would him and Parv do? Could they manage something like a pregnancy when she still had a year left of school? Deciding to try and get her mind off of it, he decided to mention something else. "So, how do you think your family would react if they knew about this whole trip?" he asked.

**Parvati Patil** April 29th 2011, 4:44 am

Parvati looked over at him when he started to talk to her. "Hmm," She said, thinking for a moment. "They would probably freak out at first." She said nodding. "But then they would probably relax a bit when they realized I was alright and everything. Padma would probably ask a million questions about it. She is in Ravenclaw after all so she really has a thing for learning. She would probably want to know every little detail about how we managed and what people were like." She said with a small eye roll. "What about your family?" She asked him, glad that they were able to talk about something other than the fact that she could be pregnant.

**James Sirius Potter** April 29th 2011, 5:04 am

"Well, I think that's sweet that Padma would be interested in the details of where we are. My sister would be the opposite. I don't think she'd care about the time period so much as to what we were doing in the time period," he said with a small shrug. "My parents would probably react like yours though. Though, my father will probably get really, really, really mad when he finds out that I stole the thing from McGonagall's office. I'm actually rather afraid of what'll happen when he finds out. Probably march in the school to yell at me for a Howler won't do it," he sighed. "Not sure how Al is going to react. He'll probably just want to make sure I wasn't an arse or anything and that I looked out for you the entire time."

**Parvati Patil** April 29th 2011, 5:08 am

Parvati's eyes widened slightly as he said she would be interested in what they did in the time period and she was curious if he would share all the details with her. Such as their time in the fort, and their bath together, and their two times in Joe's house, and their time against the house. She did know that James' sister was rather innocent but she didn't actually know their relationship. For all she knew they could be super close and they could share everything with each other. Her eyes widened when he said that he would yell at James in school for it, that would not be a fun site. Hopefully James wouldn't get too upset about it and break down and start crying right there. She knew she would. "Well, then you have nothing to worry about with Al." She said with a small smile. "Your dad though. That doesn't sound like it will be very fun."

**James Sirius Potter** April 29th 2011, 5:25 am

James would like to point out that he wouldn't break down and cry. He would just be really upset and not able to look his dad in the face because he would be so ashamed of himself and what he did. "Well, my dad can be scary when he wants to be. I mean, he's generally a pretty level headed kind of guy, but...after all he's seen and done, he's definitely got a side to him that you don't want to mess with. Getting yelled at by him as a kid was never fun. Though, mum can sometimes be a bit scarier. My Uncle Ron is always saying how my mum used to have quite the temper."

**Parvati Patil** April 29th 2011, 5:28 am

Parvati nodded. "Yeah my parents don't really yell at me very much." She said with a small shrug. "I never took it well when I was younger and they tried it out so they gave up on it and chose other ways to punish me when I did bad things." She said, choosing not the share any stories on when her parents yelled at her when she was a kid. "My dad is definitely the worse of the two of my parents when it comes down to punishing." She told him while nodding.

Short and Lame post is short and lame.

**James Sirius Potter** April 29th 2011, 6:04 am

"Well, dads definitely do seem to be a bit tougher," he said. "I was a troublesome child, so getting my parents would often get rather frustrated with me." He was quiet for a moment, wondering what she meant by 'other ways' when it came to punishing. Surely it couldn't be bad, for he figured she wouldn't be as emotionally strong and stable as she was today if she had been punished in more severe ways. He decided not to ask though, instead asking, "What was your childhood like?"
