'Please cheer for…. THE HOLYHEAD HARPIES!'
After months of intense training, the day had finally come. The Holyhead Harpies had managed to defeat the Montrose Magpies. Not only did they manage to get loads of points (thanks to Ginny), but their Seeker, Gail, had caught the Snitch. They were finally victorious. Ginny drank some of her Invigoration Draught before rejoining the party. She needed to drink a bit every day. She had gotten used to it, but Harry had noticed how much of the potion was missing. She told him she dropped the bottle and managed to wave her wand fast enough to save the bottle, but not its content. Harry had given her a suspicious look, but never talked about it again. She knew she had to see a doctor. She probably had a severe case of the flu, but the potion managed to take care of the majority of the symptoms.
'Congratulations! You were all amazing!'
Gwenog had a bit too much to drink and hugged everyone she ran into. Glinda had the same problem, but she wanted to tell everyone how much she loved them. Gwendolyn ran after Glinda, making sure she didn't miss anything too silly and grinned whenever Glinda professed her love for a complete stranger. Ginny wanted to celebrate, but she felt so tired. Harry kissed her cheek.
'You look tired, want to go home?'
'Yes please!'
Ginny said goodbye to everyone. She knew she could celebrate tomorrow at her parent's house. Everyone would be there to congratulate her on this impressive achievement. Harry grabbed some Floo powder and held her hand. They were home in a heartbeat. Ginny felt sick all of a sudden. She ran to the bathroom and threw up.
'Are you alright? Ginny? I'll make you some tea, okay?'
Ginny could only reply with a short 'okay' before she started to throw up again. She figured the Invigoration Draught had stopped working and went straight to bed. Harry brought her tea and she managed to drink it completely without throwing up. She fell asleep straight after and woke up the next day feeling slightly better, but still nauseous. She didn't want to get out of bed, afraid the dizziness would return. She managed to get up after fifteen minutes, surprised by the fact that she didn't feel that dizzy. Nausea seemed to have replaced dizziness in her morning routine.
'Ginny? I'm off to work. I hope you feel better soon! Love you!'
Harry left early to meet Ron for a cup of tea before work. Ginny went downstairs to get a cup of tea. She opened the door to the garden, breathing in the fresh air. She didn't feel like doing the dishes herself, so she waved her wand and everything was cleaned within minutes. She called Hermione, knowing it was her day off, and they decided to have lunch together. Ginny hoped she would feel better soon. She didn't want to go out for lunch and not eat anything. She decided to sit in her comfy chair for a while and dozed off. She woke up when the bell rang.
'Hi Ginny, wow… you look really ill. Are you sure you want to go out for lunch?'
Hermione touched her forehead. Ginny didn't feel feverish. She was just nauseous.
'I'm just a bit under the weather. I have been for a while now. I'm thinking about going to the doctor. The Invigoration Draught Neville gave me is nearly gone and it's the only thing that helped.'
Hermione looked at her strangely. Ginny checked the mirror to see if she had something on her face. She didn't. She wondered why Hermione would look at her like that.
'When do you experience these symptoms?'
'Mornings mostly. Sometimes in the evenings, but that was probably because I had too much to eat at the Holyhead Harpies party.'
'I think we have to take a test.'
'What? I don't need a blood test. I'm not seriously ill, it's just the flu!'
'I think you're pregnant!'
Ginny's world seemed to stop for a while. She never thought about that possibility. She just thought she was stressed and tired. Could it be? When was the last time she had her period? She couldn't remember precisely. Hermione grabbed her hand and pulled her towards the kitchen.
'You stay here! I'll go buy some tests! I'll be right back!'
Hermione seemed to be really excited. Ginny was still shocked. Could she be pregnant? They decided to try and get pregnant, but she never expected it to happen so fast. It was probably a false alarm. She started to get really nervous and by the time Hermione returned, Ginny was running all over the place. Hermione had bought three tests. Apparently Muggles used them and they were very effective.
They just had to wait fifteen minutes, but it felt like fifteen years. Hermione kept staring at the tests, so Ginny turned them upside down , hoping that somehow she wouldn't feel nervous. She was wrong about that.
'It's time!', Hermione smiled.
'You should look, I can't!'
Hermione looked at all of the tests before hugging Ginny.
'Congratulations!'
Ginny checked every test at least ten times to make sure she really was pregnant. She smiled and Hermione kept hugging her. She couldn't wait to tell Harry this great news. She was going to be a mum.
