Broken

Authors Note - Ok guys, so I'm putting my other story on hold for a while whilst I get this one done and out of the way. The plot came to me in a dream (weird right?) and I just had to get it done and down. I hope you like my plot idea anyways and please please please (you get the idea...) review and add the story to your favourites. I will try to update at least once a fortnight (two weeks for those of you who don't know) and here is the epilogue and also Chapter one! Also, once you have read the Prologue and Chapter one, feel free to try to guess who the Childs father is, and if you guess right, you will get a special mention in the chapter where it is all revealed.

Prologue

The war finished over four years ago and is long gone. The wizarding world has been peaceful and Voldemort's reign has blow away, with the dementors and death eaters gone away with it. Harry and Ginny settled down quickly, both returning to Hogwarts for their final year, with both Hermione and Ron joining them.
After their final year had ceased, they decided to both move into Grimmauld Place together and started to live a peaceful life.
On the day of April eighth of the year 1999, Harry took Ginny out for a splendid meal, before he asked her the important question and proposed to her. Of course, she accepted his offer with much excitement.
Not long after that, the unfortunate death of Andromeda Tonks took place, leaving young Teddy in the care of both Harry and Ginny, and of course they were more than happy to take him into their care.
They lived together for another year and a half before Ginny became pregnant, and much to their excitement, they would be adding a son to the family. Teddy was pleased at the news aswell by now, longing for someone else around his age to keep him company.
July the 21st was the day Ginny went into labour, keeping Harry at her side the whole time, but Harry was in for a nasty surprise and Ginny knew it.
Lies, secrets and the horrid truth awaited Harry, but he still didn't get the message after the hints Ginny dropped every now and then, hoping he would forgive and forget, but that wasn't how everything eventually planned out.
Will their lives become normal again after everything dawns on Harry?

Chapter 1

"Congratulations Mr Potter, Miss Weasley. You've done very well Ginny." The midwife mediwitch exclaimed to the pair of them, before taking the baby away to be cleaned and tested to make sure it was healthy.
Ginny lay in the bed at St Mungo's, too exhausted to reply. Sweat was dripping from her forehead and she was breathing heavily, but it was finally over. After nearly three hours of painful contractions, the child had been born.
Harry held her hand tightly, kissing her on the cheek he muttered to her, "Ginny, you've done so well. I'm so proud of you." Ginny managed a half-hearted nod in response to him.
Harry sat in silence next to her bed and waited for the mediwitch to return, keeping hold of Ginny's hand, rubbing the back of it softly with his thumb.
The mediwitch soon returned with a slight concerned look on her face. "Do you mind if I have a word with you both?" She asked them, walking over to the bed.
Harry looked over to Ginny with a worried look on his face, but she didn't turn to meet his eyes.
"We've just checked to see if the baby is healthy, yet something rather strange has showed up. Mr Potter, as far as you know, you're the father?" The mediwitch asked Harry.
Harry looked back over to the midwife with a puzzled expression on his face. "Yes, why is there something wrong?"
"May I please take a blood sample from you Mr Potter?" The witch asked him, taking out her wand from her uniform.
Harry paused before replying. He didn't know what was going on. "Yes, I suppose so."
The mediwitch summoned a small vile, making a slight cut in Harry's arm and collecting a few drops of his blood before sealing up his arm and walking back to her office.
"What was that about?" Harry asked Ginny. She didn't respond, just turned away from him and looked out of the window.
The mediwitch returned a few minutes later with a blank expression on her face. "Mr Potter, I've just done some tests. You're not the child's father. Did you not know that?"
Harry shook his head in utter disbelief, not believing a word that she was saying. "What do you mean I'm not the father?"
"I think it would be better if I left the two of you to sort it out yourselves." The witch said to them, handing the child over to Ginny before leaving the room.
Ginny tried to put all of her attention into her son, not wanting to discuss the matter at hand with Harry. She held her baby ever so carefully, planting a kiss on his forehead before muttering to her son softly.
"Ginny. Is it true? Is what the mediwitch told us true?" Harry asked her softly. She ignored him, continuing to fuss over the child so he tried again. "Ginny! Is it true? Am I not the father?" Harry asked her once more, raising his voice slightly.
Ginny looked up to him, tears beginning to form in her eyes. She shrugged slightly, hoping he would pass the matter and leave it alone.
"Ginny, if I'm not the father then who is?" Harry asked her, his voice softening a little again.
A few tears rolled quietly down her cheek as she replied to him weakly, "I don't know Harry."
"How can you not know? Have you been sleeping with too many men for you to keep track of or something?" Harry replied hysterically.
"You know I wouldn't do that Harry!" Ginny replied, trying not to raise her voice.
"You must have slept with someone else for this to happen!" Harry replied, standing up and sighing deeply. "Ginny, when I proposed, we promised to tell each other everything and you've just gone and broken that promise. The engagement is off now." Harry exclaimed before turning to leave the room.
"Harry, please you don't understand. Please Harry come back!" Ginny shouted after him, her tears now pouring from her eyes and a lump forming in her throat and stopping her speech.
Harry ignored every word from her and walked out of the room, coming face to face with the Weasley family. He ignored them as well, stopping and sitting down on the cold hard floor with his back against the wall and his head in his hands.
"Harry, what's wrong? Has something happened?" Mrs Weasley asked, sounding slightly worried.
"I guess you could say that." Harry mumbled, looking up to her, his eyes stained with tears.
"Has something happened to the baby?" Mrs Weasley asked quickly.
"Oh, no. The baby is fine and so is your bitch of a daughter." Harry replied coldly.
"Harry how can you talk about her like that? She's your fiancée." Hermione butted in.
"Well she isn't anymore so I guess I can talk about her however I want to." Harry replied.
"Has something happened with you and Ginny? Is it because of your child?" Mrs Weasley asked him softly.
Harry lost it once he heard Mrs Weasley call it his child. "Oh so I guess she didn't tell you either? And for your information, it's not our child, it's hers."
"Harry just because you're not engaged anymore, it doesn't mean it's not your child!" Ron exclaimed.
"You just don't get it do you?" Harry scoffed. "It isn't my child and it never was. I'm not the father. And she thought it would be best to keep that from me and let me find out after nine months of looking after a hormonal bitch." Harry snapped to them all.
"Well if you're not the father then who is?" Mr Weasley asked him.
"I don't know do I? I asked Ginny but all she said was that she didn't know. Like talking to a bloody brick wall..." Harry replied.
"And I take it she has to move back into the Burrow then?" Mrs Weasley sighed.
"If you wouldn't mind." Harry replied to her.
"Harry, if I may ask, what would it take for you to accept an apology from her?" Mr Weasley asked Harry.
Harry thought for a moment before replying, "All I want is for her to be truthful, tell me who the father is, when it happened and why she did it. But don't tell her that, I want her to figure that out herself."
"I guess that's fair enough." Mr Weasley sighed. "I'm exceptionally sorry Harry, but we are going to have to go in and see her." Mr Weasley added.
"I guess I'd better go home then." Harry sighed, walking to the end of the corridor and apparating away from the hospital.

The Weasley's walked into the room to see Ginny layed crying softly with the small child in her arms. She looked up hopefully but when she realised that it wasn't Harry coming back for her she looked back down to her son.
Her parents were the first ones to reach her and sat down at either side of her, with the rest if the family crowding round the bed.
"I-is Harry coming back?" Ginny asked her mother weakly.
Mrs Weasley shook her head softly, "I'm sorry Ginny dear. He's already gone."
With that, Ginny started to cry once more. Mrs Weasley took the small boy from her, letting Ginny cling to her father as fresh tears flowed.
"Come on now Gin. You're nineteen in a few months." Mr Weasley said softly to her.
"I love him though Dad! I love him and he left me all alone with the child!" Ginny exclaimed.
"And with good reason as well Ginny." Mr Weasley replied. She looked at him, her eyes begging to be forgiven. "He told us what had happened before he left."
"Look Ginny dear, Harry has grown up without any family at all and when he finally thinks he is going to have a son, it's ripped away from him once he realises he isn't the father. Do you know how that must make him feel? He was heartbroken outside." Mrs Weasley added.
"Is that why you didn't what him to find out? So he would be happy?" Charlie asked her. She nodded a soft response to her older brother. "Well maybe that would be a good start to apologising then. Telling him why you didn't want him to find out could make the air between you both a little friendlier."
"Where am I going to stay though?" Ginny asked her parents.
"You can come back to the Burrow and stay with us. I can help you with the baby as well." Mrs Weasley replied.
"It will all turn out better in the end Gin." Ron reassured he softly.
"Thank you mum." Ginny replied softly. "Thank you everyone for being here."
"Now get some rest Ginny, the past few hours must have been rather overwhelming. We'll be back later on this evening." Mr Weasley told her softly, leaning to kiss her cheek gently as Mrs Weasley handed the baby back to Ginny softly.
"All right. Bye everyone." Ginny replied, settling herself down, holding her son tightly in her arms, before slowly drifting off into a deep sleep, little did she know however, that there were nightmares to follow.
