This chapter's got a bit of a time gap, but im sure you'll get the idea of what's happening.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The train journey back to school was depressing to say the least. No Draco. No Trio. No Neville. Ginny sat with Luna in a compartment, and people kept coming a telling her they were sorry for her loss, but Ginny noticed none of this. She was thinking of how she would survive these few months.

Ginny was to take her NEWTs early, and leave in January. She already knew everything she needed to, and a little thing required her to leave before the end of the year. But this thing wasn't a problem; it was the best thing ever to happen to her. A baby.

It meant she would always have a reminder of Draco. He may have gone, but she would never be without him, not really. And when the baby came, she would have a constant reminder of the love she once had.

When the baby was born, she was going to live with Harry in the Potter Mansion he had been left for his 17th birthday. He said she could stay there as long as she wanted. He wouldn't need the house for himself; he had no family. Any girl he met only liked him because he was 'Harry potter'. Harry would be there to help with the baby, and Hermione was only a floo away. Ron would come too, but no way would he be trusted with the Draco's child. Ginny would be just fine.

She was just thinking about this, when an unexpected face peeped round the doorframe- Neville!

"Hey. You alright Gin?"

"Yeah, I guess. What're you doing here?"

"I'm working for Sprout. They need everyone they can at the moment. All the plants were killed or badly hurt in the battle-" Neville stopped talking. He could obviously tell this was a touchy subject for Ginny.

"I'm sorry, Gin. I didn't think. How're you coping?"

"I'm OK, I guess. He may be gone, but he'll never leave me. Not really. And now I've got bigger things to worry about" she looked down at her middle. "Well, maybe not bigger quite yet."

"Oh yeah, congrats. What're you going to do when it's born?"

"I'm staying with Harry. I've only got til January at school. Then I take my NEWTs, and leave."

The conversation carried on until they reached Hogsmead station

"Well, I gotta go now. Teacher business. See ya later?"

"Yeah, sure." Ginny wasn't really paying attention to Neville. She was looking at the great creatures in front of her. She could see them for the first time. Thestrals.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

That evening, when the sorting was over, the feast arrived. Ginny kept looking over at the Slytherin table, hoping to see Draco, but all she saw were unknown Slytherins, laughing, joking like nothing ever happened.

After the feast, Ginny went to bed early. She couldn't bear to stay up, it reminded her too much of her old routine with Draco. She slept clutching a teddy Draco had given her. It still smelt like him.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Every day felt never-ending that week for Ginny. Instead of the breaks she usually had with Draco, the time between lessons was spent moping around with her friends.

A few weeks later, Ginny had a check up, so flooed over using the fire in McGonagall's office. She sat waiting, watching happy couples walking in and out. This made her remember Draco. She looked down, at her ever-increasing middle, and remembered that though he wasn't there in person, Ginny would always have a reminder of Draco. The best thing he could have ever given her.

Her name was called, and she went into the room. Everything was fine.

Ginny flooed back to Hogwarts, and sent owls to Harry, Ron and Hermione, and each of her brothers, telling them the baby was OK

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

December came, and Ginny stayed at school, to practise for her NEWTs. Her first exam would be on the 3rd January.

When everyone came back to school, on January 4th, Ginny had just one exam to go; Defence Against the Dark Arts. The examiner knew about the baby of course, so didn't aim any spells directly at Ginny. She managed to pass with flying colours, and left 3 days later. There was a feast the night before she left, to say goodbye, and Ginny spent the evening packing. She picked up her teddy, held it too her chest, and smelt it. It still smelt like Draco. The scent was so welcoming, so different. It reminded her of the best time of her life, the time she had with Draco.

The next day, Ginny caught the train back to London. Harry, Hermione and Ron met her there, and they apparated back to the Potter Mansion.

On February 6th, Ginny went into labour
