Gwenn!

[__zacharias]

Zacharias was getting desperate. He paced around the Hufflepuff common room with a hand on the back of his neck, staring at the ground. He thought of every possible way he could get a letter to her, yet none of them seemed to hold any logic.

He couldn't wait to get ahold of one of the two Ravenclaws that had offered to help. He needed someone now.

Gwenn had been trying to write, but had ended up watching Riah pace around instead. She was starting to worry about him when she cleared her throat and walked over. She was careful not to stand in his way, but stood close enough to his path to make sure she got his attention.

"Lovely, if you're trying to walk a hole through the floor, it's not working," Gwenn said softly and tilted her head to look at him. "What's going on?"

The boy stopped dead and picked his head up to look at her.

"If I tell you this," he began, taking a few steps closer to her, "you won't judge me or give me any sort of lecture? Becuase I don't need that now."

She gave him a concerned look for a second before nodding. This had to be bad, but she couldn't just walk away. "Yeah. Sure. I won't even say anything if I think I'll lecture you."

"Okay," he said with a small sigh. "Over the holiday, I got a girl pregnant. She's a muggle."

He scratched his forehead and let out another sigh.

"I can't be a father, Gwenn. Look at me. I'm fifteen."

For the first time in her presence, he showed both fear and insecurity.
