GAVE IT ALL UP FOR LOVE
Author- ME! Saiya-Jin Girl Chapter Ten: Spoiled
Ginny stared out the window, a calm expression on her face. She was going through hell, but showed nothing of it. She had gone back to Madam Pomfrey and told her that she was going to keep the child.
"I'm going to give you some potions that will help you with your morning sickness," she had said. Ginny nodded.
"And also, when you begin to show, I will put a Glamour Charm on you as well, so you won't look pregnant…" she had continued. Ginny nodded again.
"Thank you, Madam Pomfrey," she said quietly. Madam Pomfrey sighed.
"You wouldn't believe how many girls I've seen here, pregnant, it's a school, it happens," she said wearily.
"What do most people do?" Ginny asked.
"Well, a lot of girls…have support of the boy who…is the father, and so they keep their child, and get married when school is out. They send the child away to their parents or even some up for adoption,"
"Oh," she replied. She hadn't thought of what would happen when the baby was born. What she would do, who would take care of the child while she finished her last year at Hogwarts.
Madam Pomfrey had smiled.
"Don't worry, honey, things will work out. You're doing the right thing you know, you never know, maybe the father will come round,"
Ginny looked up.
"How did you-"
"Oh, I know the look on your face when you came back in, not sad, or depressed, but angry, and determined, you're ready to fight and do what you have to do to keep your child, because the father disappointed you in some way. I've seen that as well, and let me tell you, sometimes…things turn out right and you wouldn't imagine how happy those folks end up being…and sometimes the girl remains on her own and she raises her child with such grace that I am proud to be a woman…"
Ginny was taken aback.
"I…" Madam Pomfrey flushed.
"Oh dear, got a bit carried away did we? Alright, so here are your potions, take them every night before you sleep, and be careful!" she warned. Ginny smiled and nodded. Then for some reason, she felt like doing it, she reached out and hugged Madam Pomfrey.
"Thank you, thank you," she whispered reverently. Madam Pomfrey smiled and patted Ginny on her back.
"No worries, dear, no worries,"

Hermione was sitting in the common room, waiting anxiously for Ginny to arrive. When the portrait swung open, Hermione jumped out of her seat. Ron who was lounging in front of the fire looked at her.
"What are you so jumpy about?" he asked. Hermione rolled her eyes.
"Nothing--Oh! Ginny, you're here, let's go upstairs shall we?" Ginny nodded. Ron noticed that she looked subdued, angry, but subdued.
"What's going on?" he asked sitting up. Ginny and Hermione froze.
"Nothing that's your business," snapped Ginny. She grabbed Hermione's hand and pulled her to the entrance of the dorm. They went up the stairs and Ron stared at them shaking his head.
"Bloody Girls…" he muttered while assuming his relaxing position once more.

Hermione and Ginny sat on Ginny's bed and Hermione looked around, it was empty thankfully.
"So what did she say?" Hermione asked. As Ginny opened her mouth to speak, Hermione cut her off.
"I assume she's giving you potions of course, and a glamour charm?" she asked. Ginny nodded. "Good, good, and have you given thought to what you would do when the baby is born?" she asked, lowering her voice a few octaves. Ginny shrugged.
"I don't know, send it to Mum and Dad, I'm sure she wouldn't mind," she said. Hermione laughed.
"RIGHT, YOUR mother wouldn't mind her youngest daughter whose still in school…sending her baby home for her to take care of…honestly Gin, you know your parents are already taken up with the Order as well," Ginny sighed and nodded.
"Right, forgot about that," she said. Hermione was staring at the sheets, and then a dreamy look came across her face. "What?" Ginny asked.
"How about…my parents?" She asked. Ginny looked at Hermione and laughed.
"YOUR parents? Aren't they…dentists or something?" Hermione nodded.
"I mean, their house is already protected with charms, and so is their office, and cars, under Dumbledore's orders thankfully," she gushed. Ginny looked around as though considering the offer.
"Would they mind?" she asked. Hermione smiled.
"Of COURSE not, do you know how long they've wanted another child?" she said. Ginny sighed.
"Alright then, since I have no idea what I'm doing, send them and Owl and see what they'll say, and if they say yes then I'll do it," she said. Hermione squealed and hugged Ginny, and despite it all, she couldn't help but feel excited as Hermione was.

Draco sat in the Slytherin Common room, staring at the flames. Pansy came in and saw him brooding.
"What are you doing, love?" she asked. She came and sat next to him. He didn't look at her.
"What do you want?" he asked. He wasn't really paying attention to her, that she could tell. She sighed.
"Oh, well you know, a Hogsmeade weekend is coming up, and I was wondering if you wanted to go to Madam Puddifoots and share a romantic evening!" she asked sliding closer to him. She reached out to touch his hand and he recoiled as though he had been burned.
"No! Fuck Pansy, get out of my face!" he yelled. Her face crumpled and she got up and ran off into her dorm. Draco looked at her receding figure and rolled his eyes. A couple first year Slytherins looked at him, some with fear, and some sniggered at Pansy.
"And what the fuck are you looking at?" he yelled at one who was looking at him. The boy quickly looked away. Draco, fuming, left the common room. He walked along the corridor in a blind fury. PREGNANT? She was PREGNANT? And what had he done? He spat in her face and told her to get rid of it. He stopped. What if she did get rid of it? But she was a Weasely! But he liked her! He leaned against the wall and sunk down to the ground. He felt tears well in his eyes, but he held back as he heard footsteps approaching. He looked up, it was Hermione Granger. He stood up and tried to appear menacing. She rolled her eyes.
"Oh piss off, Malfoy, I'm here to deliver a note for you," she said lazily. She held out a roll of parchment that was tied with a bow. He snatched the parchment and she looked at him.
"Should I read it in your presence too?" he sneered. She shrugged.
"Only if you want to, it's from Ginny," she said. She plopped down on the floor and looked at him as he glanced at her with an exasperated expression on his face. He pulled the bow and opened the parchment. He saw her handwriting. He read.
Draco Malfoy,
I was a fool to think you would change. But it happens to all of us at one point in our lives. There's nothing we can do about how foolish we act. I realize now that what happened between you and I was just that, a foolish act, a mistake, and I don't want to see you ever again, apart from bumping to you in the hallways and such. I will keep my child, and I say my child because from what you said to me earlier, you already disowned this baby and is no longer yours, its Wizard Law, look it up if you have to, you have no bind over this child, and I'm sure Hermione is sitting there so ask her if you want to confirm. You know she's right. Remember what I said before? About Weaselys and Malfoys never being together, well I wasn't wrong now was I? So I wish you all the best with Pansy and with all your endeavors. And I hope that what we shared for that short period of time was worth more to you than Ten Galleons.
-Ginny-
He looked at Hermione; she was chewing gum, and reading a book. Where she pulled it out from, he had no idea. She realized he was finished and she looked up.
"I apologize, are you done?" she asked standing up. He looked angry.
"Tell her, that I want to see her," he said angrily. He folded up the parchment and tucked it into his pocket, beneath his robes. She looked at him.
"But I thought she didn't want to see you, ever again," she replied. He rolled his eyes.
"Well you make her understand! I want to see her," he spat out at Hermione. Hermione shook her head.
"Tut tut, you're not getting any help from me with an attitude like that!" She saw him clench his jaw and he said each word as though it caused him a great pain.
"Would you please tell her, that I want to speak to her," he said. She smiled.
"Will do, good night, Malfoy," she said walking away.
He made no reply.

Ginny lay on her bed, trying to sleep, but nothing came to her. It was already past midnight, and she had spoken to Hermione earlier about Malfoy. Hermione told her everything Malfoy said and did and Ginny went to her room with a satisfied smile. But now she felt something creeping under her skin, a need to speak to him, to hear what he so desperately wanted to say to her. Was there a chance that he wanted her back? That he would accept the baby into his life? She felt herself becoming hopeful and then she recoiled. What was happening to her? Why should she care? He already disowned the baby by condemning it to death even before its birth. Why would he want to be a part of the child's life now? She felt a hot tear run across her cheek and she chided herself for being so childish. How could she have thought that Draco Malfoy would ever love her, a poor Weasely girl? She felt more tears leak out of her eyes and she did nothing to stop them. She knew she needed to be strong and so she cried her heart out, hoping that no one heard her.
