The Fireplace

He slowly let go of her and took a small step back. "You can't do what Penny?"

"this" she gestured between the two of them "I just, I am so grateful for your presence right now, and I think this could work, but. I'm still torn up into pieces. i just want you to know what you're getting yourself into here" she smiled sadly

"Penny, I know what I am getting myself into, and I'm okay with it." He smiles somewhat sadly.

she gave him a small smile and hugged him again

He hugged her back and was happy with it. He actually enjoyed her hugging and staying more than he enjoyed her snogging and running off.

"Marcus. I should go. to bed. I'm exhausted, this baby wears me out." she sighed.

"Okay Penny, I'll see you later." He gives her one last hug picks up his guitar and stuff and walks with her over to the dorms. "Night Penny" He turns and walks up to his dorm.

"Night" she waves and slowly walks up to her dorm, thinking about things

Penny came into the common room, her arms supporting the small of her back. the baby bump was more than just a bump nowadays, and her back hurt like hell. she still didn't know what to do about cormac and marcus. she sighed and sat down in an armchair

Scorpius enters the common room with an extremely pissed off and angry expression on his face. He'd love nothing more than to find Grindelwald and confront him for all the shit that went down. He feels the urge to punch something, such as Grindelwald or even Cormac, but decides to calm himself. He sees Penny sitting in an airchair and freezes when he sees her stomach. "What the fuck happened?" he finds himself muttering out load.

Her head snaps up and sees Scorpius. she groaned "I fucked up. that's what happened" she snapped

"Shit, I'm sorry. That came out completely insensitive," he says instantly, while still standing. "Seems like everything is getting fucked up recently," he adds quietly. "You don't err...want to talk about it, do you?" he asks.

she cocked an eyebrow "With you? really?" she was extremely skeptical

"Sorry for fucking caring for a minute," he snaps. "You just seem a bit...I dunno, lonely. You haven't err, you haven't seen Faye lately have you? Has she been in her dorm?"

she scoffed. yea she was lonely. duh. but he wouldn't know that. "No i haven't seen her in a while" she shook her head and looked closer at him. he seemed upset "You okay?"

He glances at her hesitantly, unsure of how to respond. The two of them definitely have one of the worst relationships in Slytherin. "No," he finally answers. He figures that maybe if he were honest with her, she would open up about what had happened to her. "Not at all." He runs a hand through his hair, then decides to move over to a couch and sit down, instead of awkwardly standing there.

she sighed. "I know this is hypocritical, but...do you wanna talk about it?"

"I...dunno," he admits looking down and staring at the table. "I haven't really talked about it," he mumbles. He thinks for a moment then says, "Faye cheated on me, with Grindelwald."

she looked up at him in shock "What?" Faye loved Scorpius. why would she do that? "Are you serious?"

"I wouldn't fucking lie about something like that," he sighs while running a hand through his hair. "All I know, is that she wasn't her normal self at the time and that the two apparently had a heated snog session."

[*cries because they actually had sex...though Scorp doesn't know that yet*]

she felt a pang of sorrow go through her. she felt bad for scorpius? "Scoripus...I-wow...I can't believe...Faye wouldn't do that..."

"I never thought she would either," he mumbles. "We were so happy, then out of no where...this. I always thought I would be the one to fuck it up somehow in the end. I never saw it coming so soon."

she gave him a pained look "Scorpius I-I'm sorry..." wow this pregnancy thing was doing weird things to her

Scorpius lifts his head in surprise and gives Penny a curious look. "Err, well...thanks," he says. "I'm sorry about your...situation too. I don't know what happened, but I can't imagine you're happy about it."

she laughed harshly. "Yea no shit. I got pregnant by a guy i didn't even really want a relationship with and now the guy i DO want won't be with me and says i should be with the father. I'm just fucked up."
