Chapter One; It's A_

Hermione, Ginny, Eve, and Luna all rode their broomsticks a crossed the sky. Although Ginny was older than Eve, she couldn't believe how fast she was on her broom. "Wow Eve, it looks like you got the job of Gryffindor chaser for a reason." Ginny said as Eve came up beside her.

"Yeah, and don't you forget it either." She told her before she quickly gathered speed and passed her.

"C'mon Ginny, are you going to let her get away with that?" Hermione questioned her with a grin.

"Heck no! I was a chaser for Gryffindor too. Not only that, but I was also a seeker once!" Ginny cried while she herself gathered speed on her broomstick. Hermione and Luna pulled back on their own brooms and stopped and watched from behind as the two witches came neck and neck.

"I bet you ten galleons that Ginny's going to win." Luna said.

"No way! I mean I don't have any doubt in my mind that Ginny's good, but let's just face it. She's not as young as she used to be and Eve's way faster than her." Hermione said while Ginny concentrated as hard as she could. They were almost there now, and she could see the stables coming up in front of them just a few distances ahead. However just as soon as she realized it it was already too late.

"Yeah! Score!" Eve cried while pulling back on her broom as she slowed down and lowered it towards the ground.

"You just got lucky." Ginny said while pulling her own broom to a stop and hovering above her.

"Sure I did. And I suppose that next you're going to tell me that you let me win." Eve said while she finally landed her broomstick and felt her feet touch the ground. That's when suddenly she saw that Jerry and Jenna were outside waiting for her. She grabbed her broomstick inside the palm of her hand and walked over to them. "Hey guys, what's up?" she wondered.

"It's Lightning Bolt. He's not looking so good." Jerry told her as Ginny quickly landed and hurried over to them carrying her own broomstick.

"Lightning Bolt? That's Harry's horse." She said.

"I know. He hasn't been eating or sleeping very well. I think he really misses him. Jenna and I have been worried sick about him." Jerry explained.

"He isn't going to die is?" Jenna inquired.

"I don't know. I sure hope not. Harry would be completely devastated if he came back and found out that something had happened to him." Ginny told her. "Can I go see him?" she wondered.

"Yeah, sure. Maybe you can help him actually. Since you're Harry's girlfriend he probably knows you just as much as he knows Harry." Jerry told her.

"Oh, he loves Ginny." Hermione began as all four of them quickly spun around and realized that she and Luna had landed as well. "She's sort of become like a substitute mother for him." She explained as they all walked inside and rounded the corner. Sure enough, neither one of them had seen the horse look as badly as he did right at that moment.

He let out a miserable whinny and snorted while all of them studied him. "Oh my God, he looks awful." Hermione said.

"I know, and he's lost a ton of a weight too." Jerry told her.

"Poor thing. If he doesn't start eating soon he's going to starve to death." Eve said worriedly fighting back the urge to burst into tears.

"It's alright, let me just go talk to him." Ginny said.

"Alright, but I don't know what good it'll do." Jenna told her.

"Too bad that Harry's not here, he really does have the ability to talk to animals." Luna said.

"So does Ron." Hermione said breathing a sad sigh trying not to think about him too much. For even though she had to admit that he was a pain in the butt sometimes, she loved him liked crazy and she had guessed that she had missed him probably just as much as Ginny missed her own boyfriend.

Ginny pulled back the latch of the stall door and slowly entered inside of it before shutting it back up and locking it behind her. "Hullo boy," she began. "do you remember me?" she asked him as the beautiful black stallion snorted in response. "I know, you miss Harry don't you?" she questioned him as she slowly approached him.

"I miss him too and probably a lot more than you do to be honest. But he'll be back in a few months. And I know for a fact that he wouldn't want you torturing yourself like this. So please, try and eat something." Ginny told him softly and soothingly while she gently stroked the side of his face and then planted a kiss on his cheek while everyone else watched them together through the bars. Then Ginny breathed a deep and heavy sigh while she rested her head down on top of his shoulder.

…

Boo barked loudly as Fleur came in through the front door. "Boo!" Bill snapped inside a whisper while clapping his hands together. "Cut that out, you'll wake up Johnny!" he snapped inside the same hushed tones while greeting his wife with a kiss. "So, how was your appointment?" he questioned her as she simply just grinned at him.

"It was great, do you want to see our sonogram?" she questioned him.

"Of course I do!" he exclaimed excitedly for he knew that today was the day that he would be finding out if their baby was going to be a boy or a girl.

"Alright then, here it is." She told him as she handed him the picture and continued to grin at him while he held it up and looked at it. He quickly glanced down at the crotch area and gave a quick gasp of astonishment when he saw that nothing was protruding out of it.

"It's a girl!" he realized as she giggled at him and nodded her head.

"That's right, Johnny's going to have a new baby sister. Of course I don't want to tell him yet. Otherwise he'll spoil it for everyone else before we have his birthday party slash baby shower." Fleur told him as he quickly placed his hands upon her cheeks and kissed her passionately.

"Oh sweetheart, I can't tell you how happy and excited I am that I'm going to be a father again. And this time I'm going to have my very own baby girl." He said.

"Yep, and even though she looks tiny the healers said that she's nice and healthy. So pretty soon we get to pick out a bunch of fancy dresses and bows for her to wear." Fleur said.

"So, do you have any idea on what we're going to name her yet?" Bill wondered as she grinned and nodded at him.

"Yes I have some idea, but I don't think that we should worry about that just yet. Johnny will be up from his nap soon and I don't want him to accidentally overhear anything that we're talking about." She said.

"Good idea." He told her.

"Right now I think I'm going to go to the store to buy his birthday presents and some stuff for the new baby." She told him.

"Alright then, see you later." Her husband said before she turned around and walked back out of the door.
