Well, if the orange still had the pips in it, there's a good chance the charm simply gave you as correct an answer as it could. I'll do a test the next time you come to see me -- it can determine overall foetal health, and certainly sex, but a reliable paternity test will need to wait until after the child is born. To the best of my knowledge there is one possible test for paternity that can be done before birth, but no realistic Healer would perform it nowadays. It's a barbaric and terribly dangerous piece of Dark magic, better relegated to the days when a desperate young witch would have considered herself lucky to die in childbed rather than to live with her 'shame' for the rest of her life. (Most of those who tried the spell in those days didn't even make it to the childbed at all.) I don't know why I even mentioned it in the firstYour feet will swell, and they will be painful. I've a powder made with crushed peppermint and a few other things that will help soothe the swelling, if you mix it in a basin of blood temperature

Thank you, Poppy. That clear a lot of things up, though heaven knows fruit doesn't deserve to have such an active sex life...I'll be sure to stop by when we're both not busy (or less busy, anyhow). My exams are just being finalized and approved.
