Forum:Pregnancy in Hogwarts Students

On chat just now, we got into a discussion about weather or not teen pregnancies among Hogwarts students are allowed. From what people said, I think there was another discussion about it earlier that I missed.

I personally think it should be allowed. TT's character Evanesca Douleur got pregnant some time in her 6th year I think. Evie's baby Marley was conceived in her 7th year (I know. I calculated the pregnancy :P) even though he was born after her graduation. And they can't have been the only ones. Hogwarts is over 1,000 years old, there's got to have been some pregnant teens in that time.

I think that as long as everyone is reasonable and we don't start getting huge numbers of pregnancies, it isn't a problem. If we start getting a bunch, then maybe it's be fair to rethink think.

As for teen pregnancies all the issues surrounding them, I know someone said it made them uncomfortable. I'm sorry, but I don't think it's fair to say other people can't have it happen to their chars. I personally don't believe murder is right and am generally uncomfortable with it in RL, but in a story I think it's a great component. And I'm certainly not going to tell people that the Mullins can't kill each other if their users feel it's the right thing for their stories.

I'm not saying I think Hogwarts couldn't make rules stricter after this. I'm not saying Hogwarts couldn't make their own ruling on whether or not teen mums can say in school, or if their babies can stay there.

In the books, the stairs to the Gryffindor girls' dormitory are enchanted to become a slide if any boy attempts to climb them, but not vice versa. Take that for what you will. -R. A. B. 05:12, October 2, 2014 (UTC)
