Okay, so I've had a bit of computer trouble but I think I've fixed it...
“
Alicia, dear, it does seem that way… What have you feeding her, Jamie?” I stared at Aunt Molly with a tiny smile.
“
Right- I am not getting fat!” Alicia snapped, standing up. “
I’m four months pregnant!” Alicia said loudly. Congratulations sounded round the table and I noticed someone staring at Alicia with worry on their face. Then they spoke over the noise, making a few people star at them.
“
Alicia- that bite didn’t turn you fully, I don’t think it will be the same for the baby. Maybe- ” I watched as Alicia turned a glare on Naomi, effectively shutting her up.
“
Maybe you should shut up?” She snapped angrily and the noise round the table stopped immediately.
“
Don’t you talk to her like that!” Luna said sharply, narrowing her eyes at Alicia, whose hair turned pitched black.
“
The baby will be fine- they both will! Nothing will be wrong with them! They’ll be two healthy babies! A girl and a boy! Completely fine! Party OVER!” She shouted and the lights overhead exploded, showering the table in coloured pieces of glass and leaving the garden lit by the moonlight. Alicia pushed away from the table and stormed towards the house.
“
Hormones” I heard George mutter and Alicia turned on him.
“
Get. Out. NOW!” She screamed and most of the guests apparated. Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny and Neville stayed in their seats. Luna threw a dirty look at Alicia before apparating Sam out.
“
Alicia!” I said, staring at her. “
That was our friends and family!” I put the barbeque out as she turned and ran for the house, vanishing in a blur of colour. “
Alicia!” I ran after her, the five remaining guests following after me. A single sob travelled back to us on the wind. “
ALICIA!” I shouted, throwing the glass door open. I heard a door slam upstairs and followed the sound, finding that she’d locked herself in the bathroom. “
Come on, Ali- we’re not seventeen anymore, you can’t hide in here” I said softly, leaning against the door. A smashing sound came from inside and I glanced back at the others, who shrugged. “
Alicia! Open the door! Ali!” I said louder and the sound of the lock clicking open was followed by the door swinging open.
“
Why did you punch the mirror?” Ron asked, a frown on his face as he stood in the doorway with the others while I walked up to Alicia as she ran her hand under the cold tap, the water running red for a second before she withdrew it, fully healed.
“
I’ll never get used to that” She muttered as I put a hand on her shoulder. “
I’m a bad person… I shouldn’t have lost it like that at Nay… Luna was right. I just felt the urge to defend, you know?” She said, turning to hide her face in my chest. “
Neville, will you apologise to them for me?”
“
Course I will- don’t worry about it, they’ll forgive you” He said and Alicia looked up to smile at him. Her eyes flashed pink.
“
Hope and Carslisle- I like those names… You pick them in four months” She said and I grinned. The seven of us headed back downstairs, where Alicia flaunted her new powers.
“
I’m surprised you never saw that coming” Ron laughed as Alicia cleared the garden in six seconds before joining us in the living room
“
Well, if I’m honest, I wasn’t exactly looking for a vampire to be involved” She grinned, shrugging. “
It’s not exactly at the top of my list to watch out for” She yawned and sat on the couch, her hair turning mahogany as she slumped to the side, her head landing in Harry’s lap.
“
Er- Alicia?” He said as Ginny stepped forwards.
“
She’s fine…” I laughed as Alicia let out a light snore, making the others laugh.
