Chapter Eight
When Ginevra walked into Hermione's room Severus looked up at her. "Thank you Ginevra, are you ok?"
"Yes Severus I am fine. I hope that I got everything that you needed." she said taking a seat on the side of the bed.
"I am sure you brought everything for the night. It will be ok Ginevra. I will go down and get us dinner. Let her know I will be right back if she wakes up." with that he left the room.
Ginevra just sat there and watched Hermione sleep. She was off in her own world when she heard someone say her name. When she looked up she was surprised to see Penelope. "Don't looked so surprised Ginny."
"How did you know it was me?"
"You have got to be kidding right. I look into that face everyday." she said.
'Percy and I look alike yes but not that much' Ginevra thought to herself.
"Here maybe this will explain better." she handed Ginny a picture of a little girl that looked just like Ginny when she was that age. "That is our daughter Janna Lee Weasley she is 3 years old. Everyone says that she looks like you." she explained.
"Wow she does look like me. So what now?" asked Ginny
"You really should contact your family. I can't keep this from Percy. I will give you till the end of the week if no one says anything I will tell him." she left the picture with Ginny and walked out.
Ginny sat there holding the picture and a tear rolled down her face. The next thing she new was the picture was being taken out of her hand. "Who is this? Looks just like you."
"It is my niece Janna Lee Weasley, Percy's daughter." there was a long pause when nothing was said and then Ginny spoke softly. "She told me that I have till the end of the week and then she is telling Percy."
"What are you going to do? Ginevra you don't have to do anything, live your own life, just as you have been." he said giving her a pat on the back.
"I think I will just wait and see what happens." she said giving him a bright smile. "What are they going to do come get me?" she said with a smile.
"Good for you! I brought you some food lets eat."
"Food, did someone say food? I am hungry." said Hermione, Ginny and Severus just laughed out loud.
"Let me go see if you can eat dear." said Severus
"Ok. Hey Ginny, I am proud of you don't let them run you over." said Hermione with a smile. Ginny just nodded and gave Hermione a big smile.
"You can eat dear just take it in slowly." said Severus reentering the room.
With that they ate dinner and talked about the baby. Hermione didn't even have a clue that she was pregnant, before this happened. That made Severus feel better, he knew now that she wasn't just afraid to tell her. They finally laid down and went to bed ready for the morning to come so Hermione could go home.
They woke the next morning to the nurse bringing there breakfast in. "Figured I would go ahead and bring you two something in here as well." the nurse said sitting there plates on the table by the window. "The doctor should be in soon."
"Great I am starved and ready to go home." said Hermione with a little pout.
"Soon dear, soon. Now eat up!" Severus said in most sincere voice.
They sat and ate there breakfast and soon there was a knock on the door and who ever it was walked it. "Hello I am Doctor Bentley and I will be the one giving you your information and releasing you today." He was a very handsome man he has light brown hair, great features, beautiful blue eyes, and a voice to die for. "You must be Hermione Snape" he walked over to the table they were eating at and shock her hand then turned to Severus "You must be the dad." Severus nodded and shook his hand. "So Who might this be?" he asked turning to me and grabbing my hand.
"My name is Ginevra and Hermione is my best friend." I said trying to get my hand out of his.
"Lovely to meet you Ginevra." finally letting go of her hand he turned to Hermione. "You are doing fine you just overexerted yourself yesterday. We had to keep you for the night, just to be on the safe side though. You need to make an appointment with a doctor of your choice for a month away. You were lucky that your fried got you here when they did, you are going to have to take it easy. If you get tired sit down. None of this pushing yourself, it is not healthy for you or the baby." he gave her a paper to sign. "Ok you are free to go. Have a nice day." it was like he was just looking at Ginny on the last part. It gave her the chills. She didn't like it, it made her feel like she was cheating on Draco.
Hermione got her clothes out of the bag that Ginny had brought her and got changed and they left the room. "Severus I hate to ask this of you but, could you take me home? My fire place isn't hooked up." asked Ginny.
"Yes I will take you home, Hermione I will be right there. When you get home sit!" with that Severus grabbed Ginevra's arm and aparated her to her flat. How he did it Ginny didn't know but hey she was there.
"Thank you so much. That would have been a long walk." Ginny said
"Ginevra if you don't mind me asking when was the last time you done magic?"
Ginevra had to stop and think and then she mumbled something Severus didn't quite catch.
"What was that Ginevra I didn't catch it."
"Um ……. Since, I would say ….. When I packed my bags and moved out."
"GINEVRA" he growled loudly at her.
"Why would you do something so stupid. You were a brilliant witch. I am all fine with you living like a muggle but, you have to do some form of magic sometimes. When was the last time you held your wand?" He asked. Ginny didn't like his tone or the look in his eye.
"Since I placed it in the box, and put it in my trunk. Severus I did it because magic is raceable. If they were looking for me they would have found me for sure then." Ginny was pleading with him now. She didn't want him mad at her.
"I understand Ginevra but, I want you when this week is up to do something for me. Get your wand out of the box and use it start off small. They know you are alive and well, they need to get the hint." Severus bargained with her.
"I will I promise Severus, now you need to go before Hermione thinks you have forgotten about her." she said giving him a hug and sending him out the door. She locked her door and went to her bathroom to take a nice long soak.
Ginny had been setting in her bathtub, just soaking, when she felt something shake her. She opened her eyes and let out a scream.
"Draco what are you doing in my bathroom? Don't you know how to knock?" she asked jumping up and grabbing a towel. She almost wanted to laugh at the site of Draco he was standing there one hand covering his eyes and the other one was stretched out as to keep her away. "You can uncover your eyes I have a towel wrapped around me."
"Um … no that is ok, you get dressed, and then come out to the living room." With that he walked out. It was like he didn't trust his self around her.
When Ginny was finally dressed she walked into the living room ,and stood in front of Draco. Hands on hips she looked down at him and said "Care to explain why you were in my bathroom?"
He looked at her his face flush and said "I did knock when you didn't answer I went to Severus's and he said that this is were he left you about 30 minutes ago. So I came back and knocked again. You still didn't answer so I unlocked the door and came in looking for you. When I had searched everywhere I knocked on the bathroom door and you didn't answer. I craked the door open and seen the back of your head and knew you were asleep. So I covered my eyes and walked over to you, the whole time saying your name, you never answer so I shook you. Don't do that again you scared me!"
"I am sorry, I am glad you were worried though. I guess I didn't sleep that well last night. Would you like something to eat I am going to fix me something to eat." she asked
"Yes, that would be great I am starved."
They sat at her table talking and eating lunch. Ginny told him about everything that happened with Penelope and then with Severus and the promise to do magic.
"You could come to the Manor and do magic mom and dad wouldn't mind. I can ask them for you. That way they wont find out where you live. When it comes to the Percy thing just take it as it comes. Just remember if you need me I am here for you." Draco said reaching over and giving her a kiss.
"Thanks that would be great. Ask your mom and dad and let me know when it is ok. You will go with me right?"
"Of course!" said Draco.
They spent the rest of the day together and at about 10:00 Draco left. The rest of the week went as normal as ever. Ginny would get up go to work talk to Draco, Narcissa, or Hermione and then go about her days. She had forgotten all about Penelope and her threat. Everything was good in her life.
One morning Ginny was sitting and drinking her coffee before work when her phone started ringing. "Hello" she said when she answered it.
"Morning beautiful, I was just calling to let you know that my parents are expecting us for Lunch and Dinner at the Manor tomorrow. I will be at your house at 10:00 is that ok?" Draco asked.
"That will be fine with me. I will talk to you later. I have to get ready for work." said Ginny
"Ok hey Ginevra …. I love you." said Draco.
"I love you too Draco. Talk to you later." Ginny was shocked that was the first time he had ever said that to her. It felt good, like it was right. She shook her head and went to wash her coffee cup when there was a tap at her window. She walked over and was shocked to see a owl sitting there. She walked over to the owl and opened up the letter.
Dear Ginevra,
I am disappointed in you! You left you family without so much as a good bye. Penelope told me that she saw you at the hospital with Mr. & Mrs. Snape. I will be waiting for you at the Leaky Cauldron on Sunday be there at noon.
Your Brother ,
Percy Weasley
Ginny couldn't believe this, who did he think he was ordering her around like a common house elf! She went and got dressed and headed off to work. When she got there Julie told her that the class was canceled for the day, and they only had 1, hour lesson to do. When the lesson was over Julie asked her if she wanted to go out to lunch and Ginny agreed.
"What is on your mind girl?" asked Julie
"I got a letter from my brother today ordering me to have lunch with him on Sunday." Ginny explained.
"What are you going to do?"
"Honestly I am thinking of not going." said Ginny
Julie just shook her head. "Girl you need to go! Show them that you didn't need them. You done it all by yourself. Not many people can do that, not at such a young age."
"You know I think your right. I will do it if nothing else for that reason." said Ginny
Julie smiled and gave Ginny a wink and said "Plus if it doesn't work the way you want it to, you can always throw it in there face that you are Madly in Love with the family's sworn enemy……" With that both girls laughed.
