Lyrics at the beginning 'My Life Would Suck Without You' by Kelly Clarkson

Chapter Eleven – My Life Would Suck Without You
Guess this means you're sorry
You're standing at my door
Guess this means you take back
All you said before
Like how much you wanted
Anyone but me
Said you'd never come back
But here you are again
'Cause we belong together now
Forever united here somehow
You got a piece of me
And honestly,
My life would suck without you
Maybe I was stupid for telling you goodbye
Maybe I was wrong for tryin' to pick a fight
I know that I've got issues
But you're pretty messed up too
Either way, I found out I'm nothing without you
'Cause we belong together now, yeah
Forever united here somehow, yeah
You got a piece of me
And honestly,
My life would suck without you
Being with you
Is so dysfunctional
I really shouldn't miss you
But I can't let you go
'Cause we belong together now
Forever united here somehow
You got a piece of me
And honestly
My life would suck without you

"I am calm!" Tab's screeches echoed around St Mungos, rattling around the corridors and startling the patients waiting to be seen in the waiting room. "I am in labour and my best frikkin' friend isn't here because she had to go and get KIDNAPPED!"

Cliff shoved a terrified orderly out of his way and grabbed hold of his wife as she latched onto a passing doctor and shook him as a contraction pierced her gut.

"Calm down." He said soothingly, untangling the doctor from her clutches and watching him race away back the way he had come. "Everything's going to fine, Potter will find Ginny in time to be godmother."

As the pain passed, Tab shoved Cliff out of her way and pushed her sweaty fringe out of her eyes. She glared at him as he took a step away from her.

"I think I need to be… over there." The orderly muttered weakly, edging away as quickly as he could.

"Good idea, mate." Cliff muttered, smiling cautiously at Tab who was glaring at him.

"This is Ginny's fault." She moaned, clutching her bump in agony. "If she hadn't got herself kidnapped I wouldn't be stressed enough for this to happen so soon."

Cliff took a step towards her with his hands out as her doctor appeared at the end of the corridor.

"No this is your fault. Too lazy to cast a Prophylactic Charm… YOU BASTARD!"

She grabbed the clipboard out of a passing nurse's hand and threw it at him as hard as she could, putting a dent in the wall behind his head when he ducked. It fell to the floor with a loud clatter in the now completely silent waiting room.

"I want Ginny." Tab moaned, her eyes filling with tears of pain as Cliff, the orderly and her doctor steered her into a wheelchair and hurried her towards the Labour Ward.

The nurse whose clipboard had been thrown retrieved it with her wand and called out her patient's name. He ambled over to join her with bright orange tentacles wriggling around under his shirt.

"I'm going to get my tubes tied." She informed him, leading him off down a corridor.


"Have you got those results back yet, Sadie?" Harry asked as he entered her lab, offering her a cup of coffee.

"I've managed to narrow it down to a collection of islands here." She conjured an image of a map up before them and pointed at several pinpricks of land in the middle of the sea. "They're almost completely uninhabited as far as we can tell. There're not very big individually but searching all of them…"

Harry frowned and sighed, rubbing a hand over his tired face as the tiny dots began to blur before him. He felt Sadie put a gentle hand on his arm and he sighed.

"I'll have some of my guys travel to each island and see if there's anything out of the ordinary." He said grimly. "Thanks, Sadie."

He gave her a weak smile and tossed his empty coffee cup into the trash as he crossed the lab towards the exit.

"Harry." Sadie called out to him, smiling reassuringly when he turned back to face her in the doorway. "You'll find them, don't worry."

He nodded, glancing again at the tiny group of islands circled by a red glittering hoop for emphasis. He wasn't feeling too confident about that right now.


"We've been staring at these walls for hours." Ginny muttered, glaring at the glittering rock in front of her. "Are we waiting for it to wear itself away into an open door for us?"

Draco shrugged from his position on the floor, his head against the wall as he tossed a rock backwards and forwards across the cavern with an equally bored-looking minion.

"You." William barked suddenly, breaking the lazy silence which had fallen upon them all. "Come here."

Ginny turned to face him with her hands on her hips, a scary glint in her eye that made Draco get to his feet warily.

"I'm sorry… you must be mistaking me for some sort of pet." She snapped, tossing her head back as haughtily as she could manage when she was drenched in sweat and covered in dirt, blood and insect bites.

Two of William's minions marched over and grabbed her by the arms, dragging her over to William. The three of them struggled for a while, a minion moving to stand in front of Draco when he moved towards Ginny. When they stood back, Ginny was kneeling before a wall with her still glowing hand stuck in a hole in the wall.

Draco had only managed to take one step towards her when tentacles of light began erupting from the hole that held her hand captive. They crept all over the wall, making the cave unbearably bright as they glowed with intensity. There was a great rumbling that shook the entire cave, the floor trembled beneath them and dust and grit filled the air.

Hacking and coughing against his dust filled lungs, Draco tried to make his way towards Ginny as the wall before her cracked and shook. It looked terrifyingly likely that the wall was going to tumble down and crush them all but after an endless moment the rocks dissolved into nothing but piles of glittering dust that coated them.

Ginny rubbed her numb hand carefully, making sure everything was still intact, her eyes widening when she saw that the ring had fallen from her finger. She reached out quickly and tucked it into her pocket before William could notice it. She got unsteadily to her feet and moved back over to Draco, giggling when she saw him covered in golden glitter. He shook his head to dislodge the dust and it showered out around him.

"This is getting real old real fast." He grumbled, slapping at his bare skin where the dust had attached itself to the sweat still coating him. "Are you alright?"

Ginny glanced down at herself, taking in her golden appearance. She was covered from head to foot in glitter; it was even caught in her eyelashes when she glanced back up and nodded at him. He put a hand on her shoulder as they turned to face the hole where the wall had been.

"Here." She murmured, sliding the ring onto one of his fingers behind her while William was distracted.

"Why, Weasley… it's just so sudden. I don't know if I'm ready for that sort of commitment…"

Ginny elbowed him sharply in the ribs and scowled at him as he grinned at her, his eyes glowing under the sparkling dust.

"Don't be such a jackass." She hissed, waving her hand at him to show that the ring had fallen from her finger.

Before he could reply they both jumped at the sudden wailing from a corner of the cave. A golden figure rose from the rubble whimpering and scrubbing at the dust on her expensive robes.

"Oh good, she survived." Ginny muttered as Pansy stumbled past them, tear streaks slashing through the gold dust on her cheeks.

"I hate this!" She wailed, limping over to William miserably.

He dismissed her with an irritable wave of his hand, his robes and body already free of the golden dust. He didn't bother clearing up anybody else though, as he headed through the gap in the wall.

"We need to get out of this soon." Ginny breathed as Draco took her elbow and guided her after William before the minions gathered behind them could shove them forwards. "If that ring came off that means he doesn't need us anymore."

Ginny glanced around at the nervous-looking minions and then at William's rigid back as he led them down the revealed passageway.

"Or it means he doesn't need us anymore." She countered, ducking under a low-roofed section of the passage.

"Either way…" Draco sighed. "We're screwed."
