A/N: I know, I know. I have been MIA lately. Well mostly. End of year tests, end of year exams, blah, blah, blah. It has been a month hasn't it? Hmm…. Long Time No Talk. Anywho, here is chapter 8.

Disclaimer: I don't own it!

It is Valentine's Day! Yay! In 5 days, I would officially 4 months pregnant. I was starting to form a baby bump and I think the chatter about me has gone down.

I was no longer the center of attention to most people. Most people. I am still the center of attention to Draco, Ron, Hermione, Harry, McGonagall, Madame Pomfrey, and Snape. Snape still teases me about it. My best friend, Leah, is very supportive.

The morning sickness is now over. Hallelujah! I can at least keep down a meal. But now I eat like a pig. Third-helpings of everything.

Draco and I are sitting in Madame Puddifoot's Tea Shop. The Hogsmead visit landing on Valentine's Day, of course. How else are we supposed to go to Madame Puddifoot's? I'm not dumb.

Everyone has gotten use to the idea of us being together. The Slytherins still tease us but we are just ignoring it. Pansy Parkinson was furious about us being together. I guess that's why she told Rita Skeeter about the baby. Oh, I forgot to tell you that didn't I?

"Come on, Ginny. Let's go." Draco got up from his chair and held out his hand. I took it and he held it.

We walked back up to the castle and passed a few people on the way. We saw Blaise Zambini and his girlfriend Daphne Greengrass, they don't mind me and I don't mind them.

Hermione and Ron were on their way to Honeyduke's, Pansy Parkinson and some other Slytherin were walking towards the Shrieking Shack, and, oh Merlin, Harry and Luna Lovegood, walking hand-in-hand!!!!! I have to say, I'm happy for her. She found a great person to be with her.

We arrived shortly to the Room of Requirement. Yes, it was still called 'The Room of Requirement' even though we lived in here! I laid down to take a nap while did his homework. I laughed out loud.

"What's so funny Ginny?" Draco asked looking up from his parchment.

"You are. I never thought I'd live to see the day Draco Malfoy did his homework without any help." I mumbled and drifted off to sleep dreaming about my baby.


A few weeks passed and all in all, everything was still good. I was getting bigger, but that just meant that the baby was doing just fine.

Draco and I had a discussion, or rather argument, on whether or not we wanted to find out what sex the baby was. He finally gave in and we asked Madame Pomfrey if she could tell us.

The baby is a girl! I was ecstatic when I found out. I owled my Mum and she is already looking for baby clothes!

Anyway, it is Ron's birthday today. It was also another Hogsmeade trip. Draco and I went but I got tired really fast! It is easy to do that when you are 4 ½ months along. I decided to take a nap.


I awoke to someone shaking my shaking my shoulder and saying my name over and over again.

"Ginny. Wake up. Ginny. Ginny. Ginny. I have food. Pickles to be exact." I sat bolt upright banging my head on Draco's nose.

"OW!" He cried.

"Where are the pickles?!" I asked frantically, not even caring about his nose.

"Here." He tossed me the jar. "Thanks." I cracked it open and started inhaling the pickles. Draco watched me and chuckled.

"Anyway…." He said slowly. "You might want to hear this. Your brother is in the Hospital Wing." He wouldn't meet her gaze. I got up and ran, well sort of, to the Hospital Wing with Draco behind me.

"Where is he?!" I practically yelled. Madame Pomfrey shushed me and pointed over to the second to last bed on the left side. He looked so pale and life-less.

"What happened to him?" I whispered. I sank down in the nearest chair and Draco wrapped his arms around my shoulders. Harry answered, "A very powerful love potion." I looked at him questioningly.

"Romilda Vain gave me some Chocolate Cauldrons for Christmas that were spiked with love potion. Ron had a few, or should I saw the whole box, so I took him to Professor Slughorn to get him set right in the noggin." Draco, Fred, George and Harry chuckled.

"Anyway, Slughorn gave him the remedy and for a pick-me-up, he opened a bottle of Rosmerta's mead to do a toast. He and I toasted but Ron already drank some of his. Apparently, the mead had poison in it.

"I grabbed a bezoar down his throat, his breathing eased up a bit, but then he fell unconscious. Slughorn went for help and Madame Pomfrey brought him here. He'll be fine but once he wakes up, he'll be here for another week, just for precaution." Harry finished.

"Lucky you thought of that bezoar." George murmured.

"Lucky there was one in the room actually." Harry said.

"So all in all, not one of Ron's better birthday's." Fred said.

I shook my head. "This was not the way I imagined it when we gave Ron our present." George said putting the wrapped gift on the bedside table.

"Yeah, I imagined him awake and happy and…not this." Fred continued. "We were in Hogsmeade ready to surprise him, but it never happened."

"You were in Hogsmeade?" I asked.

"Yeah, we were on buying Zonko's. For a Hogwarts branch…never mind that." There was silence in the room. I just now noticed Hermione wasn't in the room. "Hey, where's Hermione?"

It was Harry who answered. "She's in a corner somewhere, crying." We all looked confused. "Ron told her to leave because he wanted to find Romilda and he was ignoring her. She ran away, probably to the library." He asked after an afterthought.

"I'll go look for her." I said getting up. I hugged Harry and my brothers, and kissed Draco on the cheek. "I'll be back."

I went straight to the library. Harry was right. Hermione was in a corner, crying. She obviously didn't know about the love potion. "Hey Hermione." She jumped and tried to wipe her tears away. "H-hi Ginny. What are you doing here?"

"Trying to find you. Listen, don't listen to Ron. Romilda Vane gave Harry some Chocolate Cauldrons spiked with love potion. Ron ate the whole box. He's in the Hospital Wing at the moment because-hey, where are you going?!" Hermione was already out the door running at top speed to the infirmary. I sighed and left to go back to the infirmary.

I finally caught up with Hermione and we entered the Hospital Wing together. She ran over, pushed Draco out of the way and grabbed Ron's hand. "Oh Ron," She whispered. Tears were forming in her eyes.

Harry, Fred, George, and Draco waved good-bye, not that she noticed. I waved back, staying here with Hermione.

"I'm so sorry, Ron. I never should have smacked you." I giggled.

"You smacked him?" I asked through my giggles. She nodded and slightly smiled. Ron started moving in his sleep and started mumbling.

"Hermione." We looked at him. "Hermione. I'm-I'm sorry." He snored.

I pointed towards the door. "I'm just gonna…."

"Go?"

"Yeah." I started walking out. "Bye Gin." She said. "Bye 'Mione. Bye Ron."

I closed the door, but not before seeing Hermione give Ron a kiss on the lips.

A/N: I tried to make it uber long to make up for the lost time. I hope this is enough. I'll try to get out another chapter sometime this week. REVIEW PLEASE!

Love,

Kalena :D
