James Potter was walking down the hall of the school, thinking quietly to himself. He was debating on where to take Lilly for their first big date that they were having this weekend. Casual in Hogsmead or fancy in London? He wanted to impress her but not appear show-offy or like a a cheapskate.


He turned the corner and stopped in his tracks. A boy with a very large stomach, was sitting on the floor with a backpack in his left hand. He looked annoyed.


\"Hey, you need help? James asked, jogging over to the boy. He didn\'t even notice Lilly running up to speak with him from the direction in which he had just come.


\"Oye. Could you help me? It\'s a bitch getting up.\" The boy said with a cheereful smile. He looked about a year older than James. His face was similar, but he had read hair, green eyes, and he was five inches shorter than James\'s five foot none inches tall stature.


\"Sure. Maybe you should lay off of the sweets a bit if it\'s such a bitch getting up.\" James said, helping the boy stand. Lilly was about to start yelling at James, but the boy started to laugh.


\"You should hear my boyfriend and friends. They insist that I need to eat more sweets. More than anything, I think I need to lay off of the sex a bit more.\" The boy said grinning good naturally.


\"Oh! Sorry.\" James said, feeling embarrassed. \"So you\'re pregnant. How far along?\" James asked, and the boy moaned.


\"Aw man! I don\'t wanna pick that up.\" He said, looking down at a letter that was laying on the floor. James bent down and picked it up. The boy scowled as he accepted it. \"Thanks. You don\'t realize how much independent movement you have until you\'re pregnant.\"


\"How far along are you?\" James asked again.


\"Six months. Carrying twins. One of each.\" He said fondly, rubbing his bulging belly.


\"Guess you\'re lucky.\" James said with a grin. The boy held his back and groaned.


\"Well, I should be going. I need to talk to Dumbledore. it was nice meeting you James.\" The boy said and walked away from James. James then had an idea.


\"Hey, if you were a girl and it was your first date with a guy, which would you prefer? Casual or fancy?\" James called after the pregnant boy.


\"Casual. My boyfriend took me to a muggle carnical in America. Rather nice and we had a blast.\" The boy called back without stopping and disappeared around a corner.


\"Guess I\'m taking Lilly on a casual date. Hmm, I wonder if there\'s any carnivals going on?\" James said softly, walking down the hall lost in thought again. Lilly smiled.


The James stopped. \"Wait. How did that guy know my name?\" Lilly frowned, and quickly went to go find out about that mysterious pregnant boy.
