SHIT. It hasn't... it can't be... OH MY GOD. Why hasn't it... ? I... I'M TOO YOUNG.
Okay, Padma. Just... calm down. Maybe just wait a few more days... it'll come. It will.
BUT A WEEK?! THAT NEVER HAPPENS

Something wrong, Padma?

If he's the kind of person who'd run out on his responsibilities as a father you're better off without him anyway - hard though it may be.

Maybe you should talk to your mother about this.

[padmap434]

[Private to Jonathan]
Maybe it's better off. Maybe I just shouldn't tell him at all, save him the stress.
Talk to my mother? OH GOD, MUM. I CAN'T TELL HER. Oh my God, I can't have this baby! She'll NEVER understand. She'll disown me! I'll never be allowed inside my house again. Dad'll f-- DAD. He will KILL Aldrick.
And PARVATI?! She doesn't even know we've shagged! SHIT. Jonathan, what do I do?

First off, what you should not do is freak out like this. You don't know with any certainty at all that you are pregnant. I know it's all very scary, but in this situation keeping a cool head is vital. If you were Slytherin it would come naturally.

You might think your parents will react badly, and maybe they will, but if they have any love for you at all they'll realise that helping and supporting you is far more important than such little things as your social exile or Aldrick's brutal murder. Same goes for your sister.

I'm sorry... I know I shouldn't freak out, but... it's just... what the hell am I going to do about this?
This will just endear them to my sister a bit more. I'm already the least favorite of the family.

Then you've got nothing to lose, do you?

Tell them, Padma. That's all the advice I can give you.

[padmap434]

[Private to Jonathan]
I have a lot to lose. They'll kick me out. I know they will.

[harper_j]

(Private to Padma)

If they do I'll come 'round and beat them up for you.

[Private to Jonathan]
Aww, Jonathan! You'd do that for me? The Ravenclaw PREFECT?

I have a certain disposition against bad parents.

[padmap434]

[Private to Jonathan]
Well, they're not bad parents, they're just...
Oh God, I'm going to get kicked out. I have absolutely no place to go.

[harper_j]

(Private to Padma)

I hate to say it, Padma, but if they kick you out over this then, yes, they are bad parents.

[padmap434]

[Private to Jonathan]

Then what am I supposed to do if they are bad parents? Become a hobo?

[harper_j]

(Private to Padma)

We'll cross that bridge when we come to it.

[padmap434]

[Private to Jonathan]

I suppose so. I've just talked to Aldrick, and we're going to test...

[harper_j]

(Private to Padma)

I wish you the best of luck, whatever the outcome.
