Prologue
Chapter 3
Hey everyone! Let's start with the prologue, I hope you like it. It basically summarizes everything, but the story describes Cindy and Mariella's whole life.
Cindy Morris has finally arrived at Hogwarts. She had done so many things there: her life with Mariella had started there. She had gotten pregnant, she had lived everything. She couldn't believe that in her 20s, she was already a famous authour that gave 1-month-long classes for Self-Confidence at Hogwarts. She had achieved to bring her family with her, and she started remembering the old times when looking at her wife's eyes. She had everything she wanted...
December, 2014
Cindy is sitting on the snowy bench. Her sister has died of a terrible illness, and Cindy feels destroyed. She is depressed in her thoughts, and what even makes her sadder is to see a girl from third year being bullied: Mariella Dawson. It couldn't be any other girl: it had to be her. Her dear Mariella Dawson. Cindy saw her every day, waiting for the bullies to come. Both of them were too afraid to make it stop...

-Stop teasing her, my god! What problem do you have with her? She's a Slytherin, which means she has feelings like any other human being!- Cindy screams, fed up after watching the same for a whole year.
-Slytherins aren't shy! She's dishonouring our house!- answered the bully.
-But does that matter to you? Is it her problem to be herself? Leave her alone! Why should you care about how she is? - she answered back.
-Anyway, do you even know her? You've never seen each other! Why don't you go put your nose in another book? Leave us to our business and go to your nerdy common room to study!
Cindy felt truly hurt. They said she was a nerd like if it was bad... Being a Ravenclaw made her proud. She was intelligent and creative. But that didn't matter know; if she didn't stop, Mariella would start being treaten worse.
-Of course I know her! She's... she's my girlfriend. -Cindy suddenly blurts out. She looks at Mariella, she has a puzzled look on her face. -Aren't you? -she asks. Mariella, confused, runs away, tears in her eyes, but Cindy won't let her. She blands her hoodie as Mariella flushes, and Cindy briefly takes a deep breath and kisses her. Now she will push me off and run away. I only wanted them to stop... Both of us are going to end up embarrassed in the end! I'm so confused. I won't be able to say a word to her again. Nothing of that happened, however. Mariella pulls her tongue and grabs Cindy's waste, and by the time they separate, the bullies have scattered. Everyone is shouting "Woohoo! The shy girl and the nerdy, lesbians!" I promise, Mariella, this will be the best day of your life until you die.

-Mariella! Apparently there's this muggle object that determines if you're pregnant... -Cindy stammers.- We made it, Mariella. I'm pregnant, and it's a girl. I convinced Dav to do you-know-what for me.
-But... Cindy, you're 16! How can you raise a child when you're still at Hogwarts?
-Old McGonagall doesn't care, but we won't be able to sleep with our roommates. She will prepare a wedding bed for us, with a little cradle...-Cindy starts, but Mariella puts her hand in Cindy's lips calmly and kisses her tenderly.
-Then I'm ready. I've been waiting for this for a long time, Cindy.
-Me too, sweetie. This is the ultimate proof that our love will last forever. I love you, Mariella, and I always will.

-I...s there something wrong? -Cindy stammered nervously, her legs shaking.
-No, there isn't... Well, there is. - answered the ginecologist.- It's not one girl, it's three girls. You're having triplets. It wasn't so strange, of course... The younger you get pregnant, the more possibilities you have of having triplets...
Cindy can't breathe of the excitement, and Mariella has tears in her eyes.
-I... I guess I'll have to tell my parents. -She took out her phone and went out of the room.
