Damnit. She had found out. She lowered her glance looking at her hands. "Well that is because .... I am." she said softly. "But please don't say anything to anyone I want to keep this quiet for as long as possible." she said rushing that statment out. She couldn't believe that she had todl someone. She quickly began crying she had kept it inside for so long and now it was out in the open, and it felt good.

Pam felt ashamed for asking. What a stupid question! You don't just ask a 17 year old girl if she's pregnant!
She gently laid a hand on Li Na's shoulder and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to... to hurt you in any way." She was at a loss for words. "I promise I won't tell anyone. I'll keep your secret for... for as long as you can."
She was saying all the wrong things, she knew it. But what are you supposed to say at a time like this? 'get over it'? No. So then... what?

"You didn't hurt me." she said wiping away her tears and smiling. "It just felt good to tell someone, I mean having a secret like that is not fun to keep." she said softly. "It was hard but I have told someone so I have been able to get it off my chest. I am huge." she said looking down. She had gained some weight not a lot but more then she wanted. "Of course someone would notice I was stupid for thinking the wouldn't." she said.

Pam was relieved she hadn't hurt Li Na.
"Hey, you're not HUGE, I wouldn't think..." she trailed off, trying to think of something funny to say, but nothing came. So she shrugged.
"I've had a couple of cousins go through that." she said matter-of-factly. "I think I noticed because I helped them hide it for a while, so I know the tricks." She smiled a bit awkwardly.
"Lucky for you, you'll find our Hogwarts robes do a great job at hiding that."
Pam was smiling, yes, but she felt kind of strange. Her cousins had ended up pregnant because they were b*tches, they played around with everyone and never gave a damn about what happened to them. Pam began to wonder whether Li Na was like that, just one of those girls who don't care until it's too late... and in some cases don't care afterwards either, like her cousins hadn't. She seemed happy enough... or was she?

"Oh so may be not everyone notices yet." she said hopefully. "Yes I am glad for our school robes, they will help for awhile, as long as I wear them a lot." she said smiling. "It is just going to be hard. You make a mistake and something like this happens. I am still a child myself. I just hope I can be a good mother." she said softly. She had a lot of fears and worries, afterall with a mother like hers she should have.

Pam smiled. So Li Na actually cared about the baby. That, in Pam's mind, made her a good person. She's planning to take responsibility for her actions... That could only be good.
"I'll help you out with anything you need." she said. "I'm sure you'll make a good mother, you seem like a nice person to me."
Pam could see from the terrain outside that they were getting closer to Hogwarts. She'd have to change into her robes soon and assume the dark persona everyone knew her for.

"I just don't want to turn out like my mother." she said solemly. "It would be awful but I am making sure that won't happen. No one deserves to be treated like that." she said starting to cry again. Things like this had made her very emotional lately.
"Thank you for wanting to help." she said softly. "I think the hardest thing to do will be keeping it a secret and then I have to tell the headmaster." she said shaking her head and wiping her tears a bit.

"You're not the only one who doesn't want to turn out like her mother." Pam said. "I know the feeling... maybe not exactly what you're feeling, but I would end my life if I became like her."
Maybe she was exaggerating a bit, but she was feeling more comfortable talking to Li Na.
"As for telling the headmaster, you've got a good 3 or 4 months before you have to do that." she said, trying to be reassuring. "We'll find a way to tell."
She glanced out the window. "No doubt we'll be arriving in a half hour or so. I think I should go get dressed."

"I know, what do I say. Hey guess what... I am pregnant." she said laughing a bit. She pulled out her brand new robes and went into the bathroom to change. She slowly put them on thinking about the fact that she had just spilled a major secret but in a way she was happy that she did. She returned to the cabin, sitting down in her fresh robes.

Pam had gotten dressed quickly while Li Na was gone and was fully dressed and staring out the window when Li came back. She smiled at her and then felt the train give a small lurch. They were getting close to their destination. Soon, the prefects would walk around telling everyone to get their stuff and get ready to get off the train.
"Guess our joy ride is almost over." she said sarcastically.

"I would say so." she said gathering her belongings. "But school is starting and this is going to be strange. Dumbledore won't be there." she said sadly. "I guess I am ready as I will ever be." she said taking a deep breath. "One strange year." she said simply.
