"Not much of a life"
(8)()(m)(o)(n)(t)(h)(s)()(l)(a)(t)(e)(r) [8 months later]
Draco was trying to study in the library. His NEWTs would take place in two months but he wasn't focused. Draco was thinking about how Ginny was doing with her life. She hadn't sent any letters to him, regardless of his twelve he'd sent her.
"Hey" Blaise Zabini sat down next to Draco.
Blaise was his best friend and the only one who knew about the baby. The school was in tears finding out about Ron's death and all had just assumed Ginny left school because of that.
"What?" Draco mumbled.
"You know, I bet she's doing fine" Blaise said.
"She's fifteen years old, with an unborn baby" Draco replied.
"She'll be sixteen in two days, when's the kid due?" Blaise asked.
"7th of December" Draco said gloomily.
"Truth be told, do you even WANT to have anything to do with this baby and Ginny?" Blaise looked at him.
"Not really, no" Draco said. "I hate the weasel. You know that"
"Then why fret about it? Come on. You nailed her under the influence of firewhisky. The little Weasley girl just happened to get pregnant. Big fuckin deal" Blaise reasoned.
"You're right. I shouldn't worry about no-money weasel and her good-for- nothing kid by-accident" Draco sat up.
Harry and Hermione walked into the library. They spotted Draco but just walked past him to get their books.
"Will you look at that? Only two-thirds of the Dream Team came back" Blaise said innocently.
The two Gryffindors turned to him, fuming. They looked ready to rip him apart and making it as painful as possible.
"That was low, really low Zabini" It wasn't Hermione or Harry that spoke, but Draco.
Hermione and Harry looked at him in surprise.
"What?! Defending them? You've gone soft Malfoy" Blaise snapped.
"I wasn't defending them. Just don't descend to their level" Draco stated calmly.
"Do you mind? Seriously, we haven't said a word to you all year and to think you'd lay off us since R-Ron's death" Hermione's lip quivered at the last two words but bit it so she wouldn't cry.
"Sorry Mudblood, Scarhead, but I live to insult you both" Draco drawled.
"Not much of a life then is it, eh?" Harry said and with a final glare, him and Hermione left the library.
Not much of a life. Not much of a life. Harry's words ran through Draco repeatedly. He was annoyed at how true they were. What had he done to someone else to make them feel better? Nothing. He didn't have much of a life. It revolved around putting others down and getting them to do his work for him. Not much of a life.

Ginny roamed the streets of London, her belly now showing quite a bit. People, mainly women, gave her disapproving stares and one young muggle girl muttered 'slut' as she passed Ginny.
She now had an apartment and a job as an checkout/assistant at a fashion store, where she got the glares as well. Ginny was used to it by now.
It was her lunch break and Ginny sat down at her usual table at a small coffee shop called Gloria Jean's, or GJ's. She sat in the comfy armchair and put her bag beside it.
"What brings you to GJ's today, Gin?" A young waiter asked her. He had dirty blonde hair and green eyes.
"Oh hey, Maddox. Just the usual lunch break and the usual mocha and blueberry muffin" Ginny smiled.
"Should've known. Does your order ever change?" Maddox smiled
"Nup" She shook her head.
"Let me know if it does. How's little Ginny coming along?" Maddox asked, referring to the baby.
"Fine, it's four more months and I can't wait for some reason" Ginny laughed.
"You're fifteen, Gin. You don't seem the type to be pregnant anyway" Maddox said.
"I'll be sixteen in two days!" Ginny protested.
Maddox just shook his head and smiled. He went to get Ginny's Mocha and Muffin.
Ginny started to read her book. A moment later her coffee and muffin were placed on the small table in front of her. Ginny put the book down and sipped her mocha. She looked at her watch. 5 minutes of break left! Ginny sculled the coffee and scoffed her muffin. She threw some money down onto the table and ran back to work.
"Wow Gin, you just made it" A pretty dark-haired girl greeted her at the door. Her name was Tallulah.
"Yeah, I was at GJ's and lost track of time" Ginny panted.
"Well, you'd better get to it girl, my break's now!" Tallulah grinned at walked out of the store.
The two days til Ginny's birthday passed quickly and she woke up on the Saturday of her birthday. To her surprise, an owl perched itself on Ginny's balcony. From Harry and Hermione.
Ginny grinned and opened the letter.
Dear Ginny, Hey! How are you? Why didn't you come back to school? We were so worried. It must be really hard on you about Ron. Harry and I really want to see you. We passed our apparation tests a few months ago! So just tell us where you are and we'll be there. Please let us see you. Anyway, HAPPY BIRTHDAY GINNY! Harry and I put our money together to get you a really good present and we hope you like it. I have to cut the letter short, we're just about to go into Hogsmeade. Harry sends his love and so do I.
Harry and Hermione XOXOXOXOXOX
She smiled and looked over at the small parcel. Ginny picked it up and removed the wrapping carefully.
Inside there was a charm bracelet with different five different charms on it. She recognised it at once. They were the charms of protection, and the protection artifacts contained powerful magic. No-one was sure what they did exactly but they were rare and were unknown because they only acted when someone was in real need of one of it' powers.
The first one was a sword. The second was a shield. The third was an apple. The fourth was a ball of light. The last one was a heart.
"Wow" Ginny whispered.
She clasped the bracelet to her wrist and it glowed silver light, adjusted itself to the size of her small wrist and stopped glowing.
Ginny quickly scribbled a note to Harry and Hermione, telling them where to apparate, since they were in Hogsmeade. The owl flew off into the sky.
Ginny showered and dressed herself into tight jeans and a pink fitted maternity top. She looked at her long red hair and swept it into a ponytail. Ginny looked at her face, which now all her freckles were gone.
CRACK. CRACK. Ginny ran into the living room where Harry and Hermione stood, both in cloaks. She shrieked and embraced them both in hugs.
"Oh, it's SO good to see you both!" Ginny squealed.
"Yeah, you too Gin" Harry laughed.
"See you liked your present?" Hermione asked.
"Yeah, where did you get it?" Ginny said.
"Knockturn Alley" Harry answered.
"Um, Ginny? I noticed your little..bump" Hermione eyed Ginny's stomach. Harry's eyes strayed to where Hermione's were.
"Well..It started out like.." Ginny started.
