I sat out on the porch, head in my hands.
Your not going to do it again?
No, I won't. Promise.
Your going to get help right?
Yeah, I will. Promise.
Your going to talk to him, about this?
I'll talk to him, I promise.
My thoughts all ended the same way,Gryffindor Honor
My own voice echoed in my ears, I bite my lip slightly, knowing I had to go through with this, I had to keep my promises.
Stupid promises. Stupid Gryffindor Honor. Stupid not being able to back out of my word.

I make my way back up the path to the house, after spending most of the day wondering around outside not really having anywhere else to go.
I don't bother looking around as I make my way up to the door, just make to take out of my key, before realising it's not there and I'd left it inside, "Fuck," I mutter and slam my palm into the door, "Maddie!"
Then I glance sideways and realise she's on the porch, "And you're there...nevermind..."

I can't help but laugh softly,"Locked out?" I guess,"Me too."

I arch an eyebrow, amused in spite of myself, "Right..."

I smile weakly, feeling a lot happier then I had in the past few weeks,"Yeah, I fixed it."

I laugh slightly, "If you 'fixed' the backdoor, why are you sitting out here?"

My smile falters a bit, Now or never.
"Cos I was waiting for you, need to talk to you."

"Uh-huh," I say, immediately slightly on edge.

I frown slightly, "Why? What's going on?"

I bite my lip slightly,"Okay, don't freak, don't get mad, and don't go all quiet on me okay?"

"I don't know." I admit, tucking a strand of hair behind my ear,"Okay, semi-good news first." I bite my lip, Don't you dare chicken out. "I'm pregnant."

I bite my lip to stop several comments along the lines of How long's this one going to last? and remain silent, not trusting myself to speak.

"Now the not so good news..-I'm married." I nearly gag the last word.

I choke slightly, and again have to bite my lip to stop speaking.

"It's an arrianged marriage but it's still a marriage." I mental kick myself, shuddering at the thought,"And yeah, the guy I'm married to, funny story, he's not dead. We..-We all thought he was and he's not." I pause,"He's back, and mad. Real mad."

"Okay," I say slowly, and then fall silent again.
Well, are you going to say anything else or just stop talking?
Stop talking.

"He's the one who made me...you know." I say quietly,"And again I'm sorry for that, he snuck up on me one day when you were here, scared me something awful, I thought it was the only way out."

I close my eyes a minute to see if things would fall into place in the dark, but they didn't.
"I see," I say after a moment.

"Yeah," I mutter quietly, feeling better and awful at the same time,"That's it."

I look down, feeling a bit hurt,"Yeah." I mutter quietly."I'm sorry."

"You don't have to be." I mutter."I just wanted to tell you, I don't like keeping secrets from you and I hate having to lie to you." I mutter looking down.
"I just..-I don't know."

I lean forward, putting my head in my head,"I was trying to fix things and I just fucked them up even more didn't I?"
