Pyxis Nott was four years old the first time she ever met Rider Macnair. She was feeling very uncomfortable in a large, pink and glitzy dress her mother had shoved her into. She could barely breathe from how tight it fit her and the shoes didn't feel any better. Her hair fell in large, soft curls on her shoulders, pulling back with a sparkling clip.

Her feet were sore and all she really wanted was a chocolate biscuit from the table. But, she couldn't reach them. She was far too short. She felt herself start to pout until she saw the bigger boy standing by the table. She toddled over to him and tugged on his t-shirt sleeve. "Will you help me get a biscuit?"

Rider looked at Pyxis as he took a sip of his beer, frowning a little. "What is it?" he asked her. He was still feeling weird about everything that had happened. Pyxis had sort of known about his homelife, but now he couldn't pretend like the really terrible stuff wasn't really terrible.

He ran a hand over his mohawk. "Is your mother kicking me out for the last couple days of the break or something?"

"No. It's nothing about my mother or kicking you out." Pyxis told Rider with a laugh, rolling her eyes at him. "I think she's grown used to having you at the house, honestly. She likes having someone strong around."

Pyxis ran her fingers over the back of Rider's hand. "I'm pregnant." She told him, then looked up at him, searching his eyes. "And I need to get it dealt with before we go back to school."

"You --" Rider gave Pyxis a surprised look, but nodded. "Yeah," he said. "I'll help." It was probably his grandfather's. There was a chance it was his as well, but either way it would be fucking stupid for Pyxis to have a baby now.

He glanced around the pub, then shifted closer to her. "Don't tell anyone else," he said. "You're a pure-blood. You know how they'll get."

Pyxis nodded, looking at Rider for a moment and then pressing their lips together. "I know how they get." She assured him and then touched his cheek, letting her fingers move over his shadow of a scruff.

"That's why we need to go to Muggle London. I have an appointment tomorrow." Pyxis explained and then pressed their lips together again. "I'm sorry I let this happen."

	Rider frowned at Pyxis. "It's not like you did it alone," he pointed out. "Don't apologise for it. I'll take you. It's probably half my fault that you have to go anyway." He wrapped an arm around Pyxis, pulling her against his side. "It'll be fine. We'll get it done and then we'll come back home and it'll be like it never happened." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	*** Pyxis leaned against a wall in the hallway, standing beside a Hufflepuff boy a year ahead of her. Being fifteen made him more handsome and more experienced. And she was tired of waiting for Rider. So she'd decided to flirt with this boy. "You should let me watch you practice one day." She told Cedric Diggory with a small smile. "I'd like it."

Cedric Diggory didn't get a lot of attention from Slytherins, most of the time, but Pyxis was cute, for a fourth year, and her family was very well regarded. He smiled back at her. "I'd like it too," he told her. "Having a pretty girl root for you in the stands is always encouraging."

He moved a bit closer to her. "We have practice tomorrow night, if you want to come."

	Pyxis smirked up at Cedric and pressed a little closer to him. Night time seemed a little dangerous. He may have had other ideas for them after practice. She wasn't sure she was ready for that yet, but she didn't want to say no. "I'd like that." Pyxis reacehd up and played with his tie. "I haven't ever watched anyone but Slytherin practice."

Cedric smiled when Pyxis started playing with his tie. "You'll like it," he promised. "We're very talented. Being the seeker gives me time to Captain the team. I can keep me eye on them during practice." He touched Pyxis's hip.

Rider was looking for Pyxis, and when he found her he wasn't very happy about it. He cleared his throat. "You're fliting with a Hufflepuff?"

	Pyxis was going to reply to Cedric, but then Rider was interrupting them. She turned her head to glance at him for a moment, then sighed, and pulled Cedric's hand from her hip. "We'll talk later." She gave him a small smile before she walked over to Rider. "So what if I am?" She asked with a shrug. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	So what if -- Were they dating or not? Rider frowned down at her. "Really? Are you trying to play some kind of joke? Because it's not funny." He stepped closer to her, doing his best not to just... grab her and shake her and make her stop looking at other boys. "Look at him. He's fucking preppy as hell. He's not even your type."

	"Maybe I need to go outside of my type if I ever want to stand a chance." Pyxis pointed out as she looked up at Rider, frowning. "You are never going to be with me. Ever. I've been waiting for you to date me since I was five years old. You won't even tell me you love me. As a friend." She gave him a hurt look and then glanced at he floor. "I'm tired of waiting."
