Unplanned Wizardettes

[Randy Estes]

Wizards don't all have to have planned pregnancies. 
Picture this:

The big celebration after finally finishing wizard
school leads to a major drinking festival.  All of a
sudden those average looking schoolmates start to look
like the centerfold in Playwizard magazine.  One thing
leads to another, and no teacher has the power to take
away points anymore!  

Nine months later we have major responsibilities on
our hands.  Luckily with those slimmedown spells, no
one at school has to know that she is with child until
the actual wizardette is born.  She's knitting little
pointy hats and he's working two jobs at Diagon Alley
trying to make ends meet.  The Father in law uses his
connections to keep the story out of the Daily
Prophet.  A small article announcing a short
engagement and quick wedding in a small private
setting is posted.

We have the classic tragic untold story of the Wizard
Lower-Middle Class that JKR and others have tried to
hide from us in all these books!  Oh the Humanity! 
Little Sirius grows up to (perish the thought) ride
motorcycles and hang out in "a gang" at school.  The
next thing his parents know he is arrested and sent to
Azkaban!  Oh the shame of it all.  Why didn't they
listen to Professor McGonagall's lecture in Wizard
Health class?
