Hola, readers! How is everyone today? I am okay. I hate MAP testing! 'Tis annoying.
Disclaimer: No, I don't own Harry Potter. Oh, how I wish I did. Now, I will just go an review my plan to steal it from J.K. Rowling... muahahahaha
Title! Yay! Thanks to Coutney777 for the title!
Last time:
"Honey, Ron is in Azkaban! He won't be out any time soon!" Molly reassured her son.
"That's what you think," came a voice from the dark. Everyone gasped as they saw who it was.
This time:
Hermione paled. "R-Ron?" she sputtered. "What are you doing here?"
"Hermione, dear, did you forget? I'm Ronald Weasley, I can do whatever I want," Ron responded airily.
"Get out of here, Weasel, you aren't welcome here!" Draco spat. Hermione sank into a chair, her shoulders trembling. Draco put his arm around her. Damn Weasel, scaring my wife! he thought.
"Ah, but it is my house." Ron walked over to his parents. "Mother, Father, you are well I trust?"
Molly sank to the ground, tears streaming down her face. Arther glared at his son. "Draco's right, you aren't welcome here! Now GET OUT OF THIS HOUSE!" he bellowed.
Everyone was taken aback. They had never heard Arther yell at anyone, especially one of his sons. Fred and George walked behind him, and grabbed onto his arms. Draco grabbed Ron's wand out of his hand, and thrust it at his father, who snapped it in half. "I'm not going anywhere," Ron said, his teeth clenched.
Lucius walked over to him, his wand out. He pointed it at his neck. "You're useless without your wand. You will get out of this house right now. I was a deatheater, you know. I've killed before, I have no problem killing again. Fred, George," he nodded to the twins, "take Mr. Weasley away from the grounds." The twins dragged him out.
Draco cast a shield charm around the house, as well as cutting off the Floo network and putting a charm up so no one could apparate into or out of the house. He looked down to the trembling women next to him. He nodded to Harry, and both wrapped the girls in their arms. "Are you okay, Hermione?" Draco asked his wife, holding her close.
"I'm fine, just a bit frightened, that's all," she said.
"What about you, Ginny? Are you okay?" Harry asked. He was holding Ginny very close, subconsciously refusing to let go of her. Ginny nodded. Hermione looked over to Ginny, and grasped her hand, squeezing it briefly.
"Hey, Draco?"
"Yea?" Draco looked down at Hermione. He began to stroke her hair as she leaned against him.
"Could you maybe go to out house tonight, and cast some shield charms and such there?" Hermione asked. "Mom, Dad, you guys could go too if you wanted to, then you would be able to see the new house."
"Okay, I'll go right now. Jane, Steve, are you coming, too?" Draco acknowledged the Grangers. They nodded. "Okay, we will have to walk past the apparation point." Draco kissed Hermione again, and the trio walked out of the house.
"Hey, 'Mione, lets go up into our room. We can have more girl talk," Ginny laughed. "Besides, I need to talk to you about something."
"Okay." Both of the girls walked went upstairs. They sat down on their beds, trying their best to get comfortable, an effort for the two pregnant women. Hermione looked at Ginny. "So, what did you need to talk to me about?"
Ginny avoided Hermione's eyes. "I-I think I might fancy Harry. Is that bad, fancying someone so soon after Blaise's death?" Ginny's eyes were shining with unshed tears.
"No, it's fine," Hermione said, shaking her head. "It's not only going to be you in a few months, it will be you and a baby. Well, and Draco, our baby, and me, buy, you know what I mean. You should have a man that loves you and the baby."
"Hermione, I miss Blaise so much! He should be here to father his baby!" Ginny was nearing her breaking point, her voice shaking, her face wet. "We planned this baby! We decided early in the relationship that we wanted to have a baby together, and we were finally ready! We were engaged, we had our entire future together planned out!"
Hermione wrapped her arm around Ginny, who was now sobbing. "Shhhh, Ginny, I know, I know," Hermione said. Then she turned green. "Ginny, I'll be right back. The baby is making me nauseous..."
Ginny laughed through her tears. "Honey, it will only get worse," she said as Hermione sprinted out of the room. Ginny lay back against her pillows, her hands on her stomach. "I can't wait until you're here," she told her baby. "I'm going to be your mommy! I promise I will never hurt you." She stayed on her bed for a while, just day dreaming. She looked up as she heard a knock on the door.
"Hey, Ginny," Harry said, walking in. "Can I talk to you for a minute about something?"
She sat up, and patted the space on the bed next to her. Harry sat down next to her. He could tell she was tired. "Gin, if you're tired, I don't mind you leaning on me," he told her. Ginny smiled at him, and put her head on his shoulder. He instinctively put his arm around her. "Look, Ginny, I kind of... fancy you. if you don't want a boyfriend right now, that's fine." He was proud that he managed to get over his nerves, and sound semi-confident.
"Really?" Ginny asked. "I never saw any hints or anything that you fancied me, you acted the same way around me as you always have..."
"Yea..." Harry said. "I... couldn't really show it. You were so happy with your life, then, at the end of last year... you needed a brother more than a boyfriend. I don't know, I just... I don't know. I just want you to be happy."
"Harry, is that your way of asking me to be your girlfriend?" Ginny laughed. Harry blushed, not sure where Ginny was going with her question. "Because if it is, I accept. I would love to be your girlfriend. If this relationship gets really serious, you'll be fine with raising Blaise's child?"
"Of course," Harry sighed. He hugged his new girlfriend. "I would be honored to raise the baby with you."
Hermione, who had, heard the whole conversation, came into the room, a smile on her face. "Harry, took you long enough to tell her that you fancy her!"
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
"So, Draco, are you excited about being a father?" Steve asked his son-in-law while they were walking.
"Of course. When 'Mione was in that coma earlier this yearr, on the day when Ginny and Blaise told us that they were expecting, I told 'Mione that I wanted her to be the mother of my children. I'm glad that it's actually going to happen. I cannot wait until the baby is born, I want him or her to have the childhood that I never had."
Jane gasped as the house came into view. "Wow, Draco, this house is amazing! Can-can we see in the inside? After you do the charms, of course."
Draco chuckled. "Certainly. I think Hermione would kill me if I didn't show you guys the inside of the house. She can be pretty moody."
"Son, multiply that by ten, and you'll see how moody 'Mione will be near the end of her pregnancy," Steve said, laughing. Draco paled slightly, he was slightly afraid of an even moodier Hermione. Jane noticed this, and joined in her husband's laugher.
"Do you and Hermione want a boy or a girl?"
Draco pondered the question. "We just want the baby to be healthy. I want a little girl, though, she's be daddy's little princess." A smile spread across Draco's face as he thought about all the different things he'd buy his daughter. "We're probably going to have more kids, though, so having a boy this time would be fine, too." Draco was still smiling. I can't wait until this baby is here! he thought. Hermione will be the best mom in the world.
"Draco, I can't tell you how happy we are that you and our 'Mione are married. We know that you haven't always been the best for her, but she really really loves you," Jane said. They had finished with the charms, and Draco was taking Hermione's parents into the nursery. "Oh! Is this the baby's room? Its adorable!"
"Would you guys happen to have any of Hermione's things from when she was a baby?" Draco asked. "She hasn't said anything, but I think she would love it if the baby had some of her old things."
"I'm pretty sure we do. At least, I know we have some of her baby clothes. If you have a daughter, she will have plenty of clothes," Steve said, tapping his head. "Janie, do we have anything else?" (A/n: Ever heard the song Janie's got a gun ? By Aerosmith? Now it stuck in my head!)
"I think we have her crib, somewhere."
Draco nodded. "That's good. If you can find it within the next few months, tell me, okay? We're finished here, if you guys are done looking at the house, we can head back to the Burrow."
"Okay," the Grangers said.
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
Hermione went downstairs, leaving Harry and Ginny to talk more. She was glad that they were finally together. She sat down at the table, daydreaming, until her train of thought was broken. "Hermione?" Narcissa's voice asked. Hermione looked up at her mother-in-law. "How are you feeling?"
"A bit nauseous, truthfully," Hermione admitted.
"How about a cup of tea? That always helped me when I was pregnant with Draco," Narcissa offered. She walked over to cupboard, and pulled out some tea leaves. Hermione nodded. "So, are you excited?"
"Are you kidding?" Hermione asked. "I'm ecstatic! I can't wait to be a mother! I just hope I'm a good mother to my baby."
"Of course you'll be a good mother," Narcissa assured her. "And I'm sure Draco will be a good father, also. You know, if Draco would have admitted his feelings for you earlier, you probably would have already had a baby or two."
Hermione laughed. "I don't think Draco would have wanted me to have a baby during school. That would be... odd. It would take too much away from both of our studies. Although, even though I was top witch, I'm planning on just staying home with the baby. I don't really want to work; I'd rather see my kids grow up."
"I was a stay-at-home mom. I loved every minute of it," Narcissa said, remembering. The teapot began to whistle. "Hermione, I think I'll take my tea outside. Would you care to join me?"
"I'd love to, Narcissa." Hermione smiled at her mother-in-law. She put her hand on her stomach, still amazed that she and Draco had created a child together. She and Narcissa got themselves settled on the porch. "Hey, Narcissa?"
"Yes, dear?"
"When the baby is born, I'm planning on having my mum stay a few days with me. Would you like to stay, too?" Hermione asked.
Narcissa's face lit up. "I would love to! Your mum and I could switch on and off with taking care of you, the baby, the cooking, and the cleaning!" she said. "Oh! I still have some of the things that we bought for Draco when he was a baby, do you want those? With those and what you get from your parents, the baby will be well-off before it is even born!"
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
A/n: okay, that was Chapter Two! What is everyone's opinion? Good? Bad? Okay? Well, review and tell me! I will try to update again soon, but it I have misplaced my plot bunny... His name is Trevor. What is it with Trevor's (like Neville's toad) mysteriously being misplaced?
