Disclaimer: I may know a lot about Harry Potter, maybe even more than then my American History, but that doesn't mean I own it. So to answer anyone's question; no I don't own Harry Potter.
A/N: There's a song in here, but I am not going to tell you guys just yet. The lyrics are in bold and in italics, enjoy!
Chapter 21: One hell of an event
Its Tuesday morning right now and Draco is going crazy he's either walking back and forth from one side to his bedroom to the other or apperating from downstairs to upstairs.
"Draco---" Ginny said trying to get his attention.
He ignored her and kept muttering to himself, "Where are my socks?" he finally asked while facing her, but once again kept on walking and searching through his drawers.
Ginny had her mouth slightly opened and replied, "How should I know? I am not your wife."
Draco stopped dead in is tracks and said, "What is that supposed to mean?"
"It means that I don't know where your socks are or your boxers and---Ginny sighed and continued---never mind. I'll see you tonight, good luck," she got up and quickly kissed him on the cheek.
She was about to leave when she felt him grab her wrist. He put his arms on her shoulders and rubbed them up and down. Ginny sighed again and faced him, "What?"
"I am sorry that I am so---" but he couldn't find the word.
"Paranoid, anxious, stressed, all the above?" she asked.
They both laughed and Draco replied, "Yeah that says it all."
"And I am sorry I snapped at you," she admitted.
Draco shook his head, "Don't worry about it. I can find my socks. So yeah I'll see you later."
Ginny nodded, he leaned down and kissed her gently and for the second time she sighed but instead of sighing because of distressed it's because she's in complete content. As always his kisses sent shivers up and down her body. Draco broke apart but only to continue trailing kisses down her neck.
Ginny moaned and said, "Um Draco you should go."
"No, I can't."
Ginny giggled and replied, "Well you're going to have to. I'll see you tonight."
Draco broke apart from her neck and said, "Alright, you are one hard woman to handle, you know that?"
"Oh really?" said Ginny with a smile.
She gave him one last peck, "Love you."
Draco smiled and said, "Love you too."
And she left him in his room, leaving him with his thoughts of what she said about her not being his wife.
---
After finally finding his socks he looked at himself in front of the mirror and smirked at himself, 'damn I look good,' he thought. He's wearing black robes and black Italian shoes with his hair falling loosely, he then apperated in front of Dragon.
He was shocked to see the state of his place, well it looks great, it's just that its ten in the morning, the opening doesn't start in seven hours, and there are reporters stationed outside, people from the Daily Prophet, the Quibbler, Witch Weekly, and Wizard's Word (I made that up, well I hope I did).
As soon as they saw Draco they ran towards him and asked him what seemed like a million questions at once, "Mr. Malfoy, how does it feel to have all this success?"
"Where is Ginny?" another one asked.
"How are you dealing with the pregnancy?"
"How many people are you expecting to be here tonight?"
"Is Harry Potter going to appear?"
Draco's head is spinning then someone saved him, "People, people please. Mr. Malfoy has a lot of work to do so why don't you let him get back to it and you can wait till tonight and ask those questions again," Draco smiled at his best mate; Blaise.
Blaise pulled him out of the group of reporters to the inside of Dragon, "Hey Blaise, what are you doing here? It doesn't start till five."
Blaise shrugged and said, "Well I have nothing else to do and I thought you can use an extra hand."
Draco gave him a manly hug and said, "Thanks, you really are my best mate."
Blaise rolled his eyes and said, "Alright enough of this."
Draco agreed and they started to move things around.
---
Around four thirty they were finally done. Draco and Blaise both sighed and took a look around of the new and improved Dragon. It was just like Draco had pictured it and couldn't help but grin.
Blaise patted his back and said, "Wow man, this is incredible."
If it were possible Draco's grin grew even wider, "Thanks."
"So who's going to be here tonight?" his friend asked.
"A lot is all I can say."
Blaise nodded in understanding and said, "So how's Ginny been doing?"
Draco nodded, "Alright, she still has her moods, which I can't stand, but she's perfectly fine."
"Well that's good."
After a short silence between the two friends Draco said, "Well I am going to make sure Ginny will get here."
"Drake she'll be fine."
"I know, I know, but---no you're right, she'll be here."
---
An hour and three interviews later, positively everyone showed up; the Weird Sisters, Professor McGonagall, Professor Flitwick, and the rest of the Hogwart's staff, other people who run there own businesses in either Diagon Alley or Hogsmeade, the Weasley family; including Ron and Hermione, Luna (her parents are watching Abigail), Hannah, Harry, but no Ginny yet and Draco is starting to get worried.
'She should've been the first one here,' he thought looking around for a pregnant redheaded.
"What's wrong Drake?" asked Blaise.
"It's Ginny, she's not here yet."
"Really?" his friend asked in a worry tone.
"That's it I am going home to check on her, something is wrong," Draco said.
"But, Drake what about all this?" Blaise asked with his hand moving towards the crowd.
"Cover for me please? Just say I am in the bathroom or in the back."
Blaise nodded and said, "Alright, owl me to let me know what's going on."
Draco nodded also and said, "Thanks, I am going to the back to apperate."
And that's exactly what he did.
---
When he got home he called for her, "Ginny!"
No answer, now Draco is more worried than ever. He can't even imagine what has happened to her. He ran to the living room, which she wasn't there, kitchen, no Ginny there, office, nope, he apperated into his bedroom and called for her again but no answer, then he reached her room and got the shock of his life.
Ginny, his Ginny, is lying across her bedroom floor, in her bathrobe covered in blood in her lower region.
Draco is beyond petrified, he ran to her, and kneeled beside her, "Ginny, darling, please wake up! Everything is going to be alright," he promised while panting.
He heard water running and the bathroom was practically a flood. He turned off the water and used the Scourgify spell and the bathroom was back to normal.
He didn't have time too find out what happened. He picked her up bridal style and apperated to St. Mungos.

"Mr. Malfoy?" called the lady at the front desk all confused, but got interrupted.
"Please I need a healer right away, my girlfriend passed out and I don't know for how long, she's bleeding and pregnant!"
The lady at the front desk gasped and replied, "Alright Mr. Malfoy, I'll get one right away, just please calm down and that will make everything easier for us."
Draco quickly nodded, by now his heart is beating for what seems like a thousand times per second, he's red in the face, and is close to tears. He can tell his robes are covered by her blood because he feels all wet, but didn't care at the moment. He looked at the girl in his arms and whispered, "Everything is going to be alright, I promise I won't let anything happen to you, Tamara, or Tiffany."
He kissed her forehead and rocked her slowly.
The lady said, "Healer Wood would be with you very shortly, for now I can clean her up and you can lay her down in the nearest room."
Draco nodded and managed to say his thanks and she did as promised.

Step one you say we need to talk
He walks you say sit down it's just a talk
He smiles politely back at you
You stare politely right on through
Some sort of window to your right
As he goes left and you stay right
Between the lines of fear and blame
And you begin to wonder why you came
Meanwhile back at Dragon everyone was wondering were is Draco because he's been gone a little over an hour and the reporters are getting anxious by the minute just to get another word from the successful wizard.
Ron came up to Blaise and said, "Alright Zabini where's Malfoy? Not that I care that much but my sister isn't here either and something isn't right, so spill."
Blaise sighed and replied, "Alright I'll tell you, just lower your bloody voice I don't want the reporters to know."
He grabbed Ron by the shirt and brought him to the far corner by the bathrooms.
"Draco thinks Ginny is in trouble---"
"What!" Ron exclaimed
---
A tall healer with brown hair tied up to a ponytail came to the first room on the right side of the hall and faced the very distraught Draco and said with an Irish accent, "Well no time for introductions, we don't have time to send her to the fourth floor, so I'll examine her here."
The worried blonde nodded, and the healer waved her wand over her body several times and muttered a few spells.
"So, you weren't there when she passed out?" healer Wood asked while looking at Draco.
Draco shook his head 'no' and said, "I was at my grand opening. I was with her this morning and she said she'll see me tonight at the restaurant, but then everyone showed up except her and she was supposed to be there a little over an hour before I started to get really worried. I left everyone there to check on her and I found her in the middle of her bedroom floor covered in blood," he finished explaining.
Healer Wood nodded and wrote the details of his story on a piece of parchment, "Well from what I can tell Ginny has been out for a couple of hours---"
"Oh my God! Is she alright! What about our babies? She's a little over five months along," he interrupted her.
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
---
Back with Blaise and Ron…
"Shut the bloody hell up!" Blaise whispered harshly, "Draco hasn't owled me yet or tell me somehow of what's going on. So just play cool for now---"
"But my sister could be in danger---"
"Look, if something did happen to your sister, Draco is with her, so hopefully everything will be alright," Blaise explained.
"Why do you care about my sister?" Ron asked with an angry face.
"Because Draco cares for her and he's my best mate. Don't you care about everything in Potter's life?"
Ron sighed and nodded, "Okay so what do we now?"
"Like I said, play cool and if Potter, Hannah, your family or anyone asks about him or your sister just say he's in the back and she'll be here soon," he answered.
"But my family is wondering where Ginny is, I can't hide something like this from them."
"If they keep asking then tell them, but not in front of a huge crowd," said Blaise.
Ron nodded, went back to the party, and try to keep a happy face, but couldn't help at feel worried for his sister, wherever she is.
---
Let him know that you know best
Cause after all you do know best
Try to slip past his defense
Without granting innocence
Lay down a list of what is wrong
The things you've told him all along
And pray to God he hears you
And pray to God he hears you
She put her hand up to silence him, "She lost a lot a blood from what I can tell. We need to run some tests on her right away and see for sure if your babies are alright. If not we need to do an emergency c-section to save them."
She looked at Draco and this time he did have tears in his eyes and one escaped, he didn't even bother to wipe it away, "Why? Why did this happen?"
Healer Wood sighed sadly and answered him, "She probably passed out either from stress, or pressure in her abdomen. Hopefully your girls will survive this. Mr. Malfoy I will do everything in my power to make sure of that."
Draco nodded for what seemed like the hundredth time that day, "Are you going to examine her now?"
"Yes the sooner the better," she explained simply.
Draco grabbed Ginny's hand and rubbed it gently and said to the healer, "Is there a way I can contact someone from here to let her family and friends know? I don't want to leave her."
"Yes of course, I'll bring an owl for you. I'll be back as soon as I can," and she left the room.
Draco looked at Ginny and he escaped a sob, "Oh Ginny I wish I was there sooner. If anything happen to you or our girls I will never forgive myself. I love you."
He kissed her forehead and her belly.
---
Back at Dragon everyone was getting pissed that Draco wasn't there and people started to leave. Ron and Blaise exchanged glances.
Molly Weasley when up to her youngest son and said, "Ronald what is going? I don't see Draco or Ginny and I am getting worried."
Ron couldn't take it anymore and told her, "Draco is gone because he thinks Ginny is in trouble---"
"Oh my goodness! What has happened to my baby? Ronald you better tell me!" she exclaimed red in the face.
"Mother calm down please, we don't want to attract attention, we don't know what happened, but we think we'll find out soon," he said in a soothing voice.
Mrs. Weasley had tears in her eyes and is now speechless of what she has just learned of the possibilities of what has happened to her daughter.
Then a Tawny Owl went in and flew towards Blaise. Ron and Molly came closer to him and listened closely to what Blaise has to say, "It's from Draco!" he whispered to only which they can hear,
"Blaise and to the loved ones of Ginny;
Ginny is in critical condition. I found her passed out in the middle of her bedroom, the babies maybe in danger and so may she. Please come to St. Mungos as inconspicuously as possible and Blaise tell the reporters and everyone else whatever you want I don't care how that event turns out, no matter how hard I worked for it, what matters right now is Ginny.
From DM"
Blaise looked up with worried eyes, "We gotta go now."
They agreed. Ron and Molly grabbed Arthur, the rest of the Weasleys, Hermione, Harry, and Hannah, told them what happened quickly and without further ado they went to the back and apperated to the wizarding hospital.
After Blaise grabbed Luna he made an announcement to everyone that the event is now closed because of a family emergency that Draco had to attend. Everyone was of course disappointed of how the night turned out and wondered what could've happened.
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

As he begins to raise his voice
You lower yours and grant him one last choice
Drive until you lose the road
Or break with the ones you've followed
Everyone arrived at St. Mungos and went to the front desk, which Mrs. Weasley spoke first, "We're here for Ginny Weasley. I am her mother and this is her family, where is she!"
"Mrs. Weasley please, don't raise your voice at me I am just the receptionist, your daughter is in the first room down that hall," she pointed.
"Oh thank you and I am sorry I snapped at you," the lady bowed her head in understanding and the worried group went down the hall.
Molly took a deep breathe and knocked on the door. After a moment Draco opened looking depressed, "Oh Draco darling what happened?"
"T-they took her to another room and are ex-examining her now. They maybe born tonight because of her critical condition."
"But she's only five months!" Hermione exclaimed shocked.
"I know that Granger. They'll be small, but it's the only way they can save them, hopefully," he finished sadly.
"I am sure they are doing everything they can. They are trained professionals," explained Arthur.
"Oh Arthur!" cried Mrs. Weasley and buried her head in the crook of her husband's neck.
Arthur rubbed her back and a solemn silence followed throughout the group. Draco went in and sat on the bed that Ginny occupied earlier.
---
He will do one of two things Blaise came into the room and gave his friend comfort. Everyone soon came into the room and found somewhere to sit.
He will admit to everything
Or he'll say he's just not the same
And you'll begin to wonder why you came
Hermione went up to Draco and said, "Sorry that I shouted at you back there. I am just worried you know? She's my best friend and I can only imagine what you are going through."
Draco nodded and gave her a watery smile, but looked down. Hermione sat down next to him and the next moment is what shocked her because Draco just completely broken down on her, his head was on her shoulder, sobbing and tears running down his face. Hermione didn't know what to do so she just wrapped her arm around him, rubbing it up and down, and saying soothing words to him. Extracting from the situation, this was the nicest moment these two former enemies have ever had and at the moment they had a silent truce for once, because they had one thing in common; and that's their love and care for Ginny. She looked at Ron and her husband has a shock look on his face. Hermione gave him a look that clearly said, 'don't start he doesn't need that,' Ron seemed to get the message at left it alone.
---
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend For what seemed like hours Healer Wood finally came into the room and said, "Well---oh whoa what a big group---anyways she's fine for now, however she's weak, because of the blood loss and I am very sorry to say this, we did everything we could---"
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
"No! What happened!" Draco exclaimed.
Hermione grabbed onto him so he wouldn't launch onto the healer.
"I am so sorry Mr. Malfoy, but we lost one infant, she was too weak. We try to bring her back three times but she couldn't pull through."
"You promised!" yelled Draco.
Healer Wood looked down and a tear escaped. She looked up and said, "Once again I am truly sorry. We'll bring Ginny back here momentarily and your daughter."
She left the room and all Draco could hear were the quiet sobs from the people around him, including his own, and the clicking of Healer Wood's heals echoing the halls.
He just lost a daughter and he doesn't even know why. This day was supposed to be one of the best nights of his life and ended quite the opposite.

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
The staff of St. Mungos try to make all the people in Ginny's room leave when they brought Ginny back (who was still unconscious) and her and Draco's child but Draco and Mrs. Weasley wouldn't have it, so the healers let them stay for the night.
How to save a life
How to save a life
Draco looked at his daughter and couldn't help at smile and thought, 'aren't you a fighter?' he's thankful that he has one daughter and Ginny, which he couldn't wait for her to wake up, but didn't want to tell her the horrible events, because he wouldn't how to tell her and how she will take it.
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
The rest of the group came behind Draco and looked at his daughter, "She's so tiny," said Hermione.
"But she's very beautiful," said Mrs. Weasley, "What do you think of your new granddaughter Arthur?"
"Lovely and she'll be as lovely as Ginny when she's older."
Arthur patted Draco's back and replied, "Everything is going to be alright."
Draco looked up at him and try to believe him, because that's exactly what he said too Ginny and looked what happened.
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
When morning came everyone was still in the room sound asleep, Draco however was up all night, holding onto Ginny's hand in case she'll wake up. Then as if on cue Draco saw her eyes stir and he saw her blue eyes again, but instead of them being bright they show confusion and cloudiness.
She looked around, then looked at Draco and said, "Draco? What happened?"
Draco sighed and knew this was going to be the hardest thing he will say to her, but it has to be done.
How to save a life

A/N: Oh wow this chapter made me cry, how about you guys. The song was "How to save a life" by the Fray and I of course don't own the lyrics. It was weird because I wrote the chapter first and then this song came on my ipod and I was like OMG it fits perfectly so I had to put it in there. This is officially my longest chapter. What do you guys think? Don't hate me because of what happened, I thought the story needed some emotion and impact. The reason why I deleted twice because there were some sentences that got bolded and had italics, but it didn't show up on my Microsoft Word, only on the site, so sorry about that. Please review, I also want the people who don't review very often, to review anyways. Love you guys!
