Chapter Ten: The Fight

Ginny sat in the hospital wing thinking back to the many times she had been here to see Harry. Oh how he always got into trouble. She loved that about him. Across the room in the shut off area was Hermione Granger. She said earlier that she hadn't been feeling to well and wanted to cheek with Madam Pomfrey to make sure she was okay. But Hermione had a strange sense that she was lying. She looked much to happy to be sick.

Ginny only had to wait another ten minutes before the curtain was pulled back and Madam Pomfrey and Hermione walked out. They were discussing Hermione's interest at being a Healer.

"With all the trouble that Harry can get into I might as well know how to properly take care of him." Madam Pomfrey chuckled. "Besides with the position on the Irish National team he's sure to take on quite a few injuries."

"That boy is just a danger magnet." Hermione chuckled.

"Well thank you Madam Pomfrey for the advice and I'll be sure to be here in two weeks." Madam Pomfrey smiled as she sent the girl off. Hermione was certainly a charming girl. Harry Potter's complete opposite and also his perfect match.

Madam Pomfrey smiled as she turned to Ginny. "Well good evening Miss. Weasley, I suppose that you are here to see if you are indeed pregnant." The witch pulled out her wand and pointed it at Ginny's stomach. "Now you'll feel a little tingling in you're stomach but don't worry about it. Ready?"

"As much as I'll ever be." Madam Pomfrey smiled sadly before flicking her wand and whispering a charm. It took a few seconds before a tiny blue bubble popped out of thin air. "What does that mean?" Ginny asked hesitantly.

"It means that you have a beautiful baby boy on the way." Madam Pomfrey said. As she went on to explain what Ginny needed to do in order to keep herself and the baby in good health Ginny zoned off. She wondered if her baby would have red hair or blonde. Weather he would be fat like his father or hold his mother's elegant figure.

"That's wonderful." Ginny said stoking her stomach thinking of all the money that was to come her way. But she was snapped from her thoughts when Dudley was dragged into the hospital wing by a ticked off Draco Malfoy and Blaise Zabini. Ginny let out a shriek when saw her beaten boyfriend. His face was a mask of blood; he had two black eyes, a broken nose, and a split lip.

"Oh sweet Merlin boy, what on earth happened to you?" Madam Pomfrey quickly showed Draco and Blaise where to put Dudley. The boy was crying, his face scrunched up in pain. Draco and Blaise stood in the corner while Madam Pomfrey attended to Dudley.

Ginny watched thoughtfully wondering what had happened that caused her boyfriend to fall into this state.

"What I don't get is why the law doesn't apply to us." Harry thought aloud. He and Luna were sitting by the lake together enjoying the other's company while Hermione was at her checkup and Draco was studying in the library.

"The law was made by purebloods, for purebloods." Luna began leaning her head against the tree. "There are very few exceptions to the law. The first would be that if the couple were already engaged before the creation of the child then the law is null and void. The other exception to the law is that if a half-blood is the only heir to the family and he chooses to marry either and muggle-born or another half-blood then they law is not in effect. But if a pureblood chooses to marry a half-blood or a muggle-born then they law is in connection. So a pureblood must be evolved. And sense both exceptions apply to you and Hermione then you have no need to fear the law. But people like Astoria and Theodore have to be especially careful because if Theodore gets Astoria pregnant then the two would be required to marry. But with Draco and I it would no longer matter if I became pregnant because were are already engaged to be married." Luna finished explaining with a small smile. "Understand?"

"A little, it's confusing but I think I got it."

"You should ask Hermione about it. She did a paper on pureblood laws a while ago. Perhaps she knows something more about it." Luna sighed quietly. A comfortable silence passed and the two friends simply sat in silence. "The sun feels good today." Harry nodded. They fell into silence again and it was not broken for another ten minutes when Dean came running toward the two panting and totally out of breath.

"Is something wrong, Dean?"

"Ron…Dursley…fight…" Harry let out a long exasperated sighed before standing and swiping a hand through his crazy hair. He had known it was only a matter of time before Dudley got the shit beat out of him. He just hadn't expected it to be his best friend that did it.

"Thanks for keeping me company Luna but I have to go check on my idiot cousin." Harry gave Luna a quick smile before turning and taking his sweet time going back to the castle.

"THE BASTARD! HOW DARE YOU! HOW DARE YOU INSULT 'MIONE! SHE BETTER THEN YOU'LL EVER BE!" Harry flinched as something metal was thrown against the door leading to the hospital wing. The furious voice sounded like it belonged to Ron. A crowd had formed around the doors and students from all years were busy whispering about what had actually happened.

Harry pushed through the crowd angrily shouting at the students to move. By the time he reached the door he was absolutely exhausted. He turned around and glared annoyingly at the relentless group behind him.

He only cracked the door open enough for him to slip in. He didn't need the students seeing what was going on. When Harry turned around to look into the hospital wing he had barley a second to duck and avoid a wayward spell.

"Ronald I demand you stop this right now!" Across the room Hermione was yelling from behind a protective Draco who was busy keeping her out of harms way. Blaise had moved Ginny beside Hermione keeping the two pregnant students safe.

"No 'Mione! He destroyed my sister! He made her impure." Ron shot another curse at Dudley who let out a sequel of fear and ducked under the bed. Harry pulled out his wand while ducking to get out of way of Dudley's attempt at retaliation. Ron lunched off his bed and ran at Dudley, his wand laid forgotten on the hospital bed.

The youngest male Weasley got one good punch in before Harry had stunned him. Dudley was curled up in a ball crying his eyes out. Madam Pomfrey rushed to him and quickly moved him to a bed where she attended to his wounds. Harry moved to Hermione and gathered her in her arms. Hermione latched onto Harry latching her arms around his neck and sobbing into his shirt.

Ginny watched enviously as the couple held each other lovingly, protectively. Harry kissed the top of her head, then her forehead, then each one of her cheeks, before finally taking her lips in a passionate kiss. When Harry pulled away he used the pad of his thumb to gently wipe the tears away.

"It's okay, 'Mione." He gently lowed a hand rub her stomach when he was sure that no one was looking. "Everything is okay." He rested his head on her shoulder trying to convince himself more then her. Draco watched closely. Never had he seen a closer couple.

Ginny sighed and turned away. She no longer had any chance with Harry. He loved Hermione and that was clear.

So sadly Ginny made her way to a sleeping Dudley. He was her future now.
