"Harry?" Ginny whispered into his room. "Harry? Are you awake?"
"Mmmhhhhm" Harry replied apprehensively.
"I think we need to talk."
About twenty different scenarios played out in Harry's head. Some better than others.
"What is this about, Ginny?"
Ginny suddenly grabbed him around the neck and pulled him into a tight embrace.
"I don't want you to go." Ginny mumbled tearily.
Harry was planning on leaving as soon as possible so that he could go and fight Voldemort. However, he had not thought about the impact him leaving would have on the people around him.
Harry pulled away from the hug, as difficult as it was. "I have to go. I can't just stand on the sidelines and wait for everyone I care about to be picked off one by one by the death-eaters. I can't let what happened to Madeye happen to you, not ever."
"I know, you couldn't live with yourself if anyone else died, but aren't you better protecting us all if you're here?"
Tears were streaming down her cheeks by now and Harry hated it when Ginny was sad, usually he would do whatever it took to make her happy again. However this was something he had to do.
"Ginny, I have to go, and I can't promise that it won't be dangerous but what I can promise is that I will come back for you."
There was a pause, Ginny looked down towards her stomach and when she finally spoke again she said:
"Will you come back for us?"
"Yes, Ginny. I will come back for you, Fred, George, your Mum, your Dad, everyone."
"I don't mean everyone." She mumbled nervously.
Harry didn't quite understand what was happening.
"What do you mean, then?" He asked, very confused.
"I mean, just us." She glanced down at her stomach again and it finally hit Harry.
"Ginny... are you...?"
She nodded slowly and nervously. A wide grin spread across Harry's face as he picked her up and whirled her around her room.
"I thought you would be mad at me!" Ginny said after Harry had put her down.
"Mad? How could I be mad about something like this?"
They spent at least five minutes hugging and kissing each other before they had to sit down on Ginny's bed and have a real talk about what is gong to happen to them and their future child.
She started to tear up again as she knew what was coming. "Oh my god! I don't think I've ever cried so much in my life!" Harry chuckled. "It's just your hormones fluctuating because of the baby!"
"Harry, this," she pointed to her stomach "This is why you can't go! Why you can't leave us!"
"Ginny," Harry caressed her cheek, "This is why I have to go. I have to protect and secure our future, our family."
Ginny knew he was right but she was not done negotiating when he was going to leave and when he was going to come back.
"Just promise me you won't leave before Bill and Fleur's wedding!" Harry chuckled again. "I will leave the night after their wedding, I promise."
There was more hugging and crying after this which woke Hermione up.
"Harry, what are you doing in here?" Hermione asked sleepily. Harry and Ginny looked at each other and Ginny nodded. "She's pregnant!" Harry exclaimed joyfully. "Congratulations, you two! Have you told anyone else yet or is it just me?" She asked. "Urrrm, no it's just you at the moment." Ginny told her. "And we would like it if you wouldn't tell Ron as even though he's my best friend somehow I don't think he would react very well to this at all." Harry said. Maybe Harry shouldn't have said that as Ron was standing in the doorway, about to ask why they all in Ginny's room.
