ICE AND FIRE
Rhapsody - Thank-you to all my reviewers! You hunniez rock! I wouldn't even be writing if it weren't for you, and I luv y'all! Although someone once told me that you don't write for reviews. You write for you.
"What's love got to do with it"
"..And that's how I ended up where I am" Ginny finished.
"I can't believe you didn't tell us!" Hermione instisted.
"Wow. Some story" Harry said.
"Yeah well, you know.." Ginny trailed off
"Is Malfoy going to help with the baby?" Hermione asked with concern.
"No...he should though" Ginny replied.
"Why? You guys don't love each other, much less like each other?" Harry said in confusion.
"What's love got to do with it? It's raising a fucking kid!" Ginny snapped.
I've been taking on a new direction
But I have to say
I've been thinking about my own protection
It scares me to feel that way
What's love got to do with it
What's love but a sweet old fashioned notion
What's love got to do with it
Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken
[what's love got to do - tina turner]
"Calm down, Gin" Harry coaxed. He suddenly got an idea "Why don't you come back to Hogsmeade with us?"
"Yeah! Come on Gin!" Hermoine said enthusiastically.
"No. People will stare at me" Ginny said simply.
"I thought it would take more than a few stares to knock down a Weasley. Guess I was wrong" Harry smirked.
Ginny's eyes narrowed. He was pushing her buttons and she didn't like it one bit. Stupid Harry and his reverse psychology.
"FINE! Happy?" She burst out.
"Great. Get your cloak and we'll apparate you there" Harry said.
Ginny grabbed her black cloak from her room and draped it over herself.
"Ready?" Hermione asked.
"Uh-huh" Ginny replied.
"Hogsmeade" Harry and Hermione said together.
In an instant, Ginny found herself looking around at the snowy streets of the magical world once more. She missed it so much.
"Where do you want to go first?" Hermione asked.
"Um..Honeydukes?" Ginny suggested.
"Ok" Harry said.
They made their way to the sweet shop. It was buzzing with Hogwarts students. The three of them browsed what was on sale. It all looked so yummy. The chocolate was creamy, the sweets were sugary and perfect. Ginny left Honeydukes with two bags full of the confectionary.
"Wanna go to Zonko's? They restocked today" Harry said.
"Sure, need to stock up on dungbombs?" Ginny asked innocently.
"He'd better not! Harry got a week's detention last month because of those disgusting things" Hermione teased.
"Rebel!" Ginny laughed.
"Shuddup" Harry stuck out his lower lip.
They'd just entered Zonko's when Ginny realised she'd left her purse at Honeydukes.
"Damn! I left my money at Honeydukes" Ginny cursed.
"Do you want me to go back and get it?" Hermione asked.
"No, no, I'll do it. I'll meet you here in around five minutes" Ginny said.
She made her way back to the shop. Ginny spotted her purse on the counter. She grabbed it and bumped into someone.
It was Malfoy. He looked into her eyes, then down to her stomach. She glared back at him.
"Hey" She said softly.
"Hey" Draco replied. He turned and walked away. Ginny ran after him and grabbed his arm.
"You're just going to walk away from us? Your child will be born in less than four weeks and you can just walk away. You arrogant git" She whispered.
"I don't want anything to do with you or that child" Draco spat.
"Just talk to me, ok? Please?" Ginny asked.
"Fine" He sighed after considering it for a moment.
Ginny led him to a seat where they had privacy. She looked at him.
"Are you going to help me raise this baby?" She asked.
"No. I can't. My family would throw me out" Draco said coldly.
"This is just as much your child. I know you hate me and I can't deny I've been thinking about you a lot and I-I just don't know what to do. I'm barely sixteen and pregnant" tears sprung to Ginny's eyes.
"I've been thinking about you a lot, it's even put me off my schoolwork and I don't hate you" Draco gave her a true half smile.
"Really?" Ginny tried to hold back her tears.
Draco inched closer and closer to her. She looked into his icy eyes, then down to his lips. Ginny closed her eyes and felt the warm pressing of his lips on hers, and for the first time in eight months, Ginny felt safe in his arms. Draco felt something when he kissed her. He'd always just toyed with other girls but he felt chemistry and sparks. Ginny and Draco broke apart.
"I'm sorry" they said in unison.
"You can't lie, you felt something" Ginny accused.
"I did. So did you, but it would never work" Draco admitted.
"I know. It won't and that annoys me, I found a guy who I'm having a kid with and I think it's best we don't see each other again" Ginny bit her lip.
"I agree. What was said and..er..done her, stays here" Draco said.
They both stood up and went their separate ways. Their separate ways for good. Ginny found Hermione and Harry still in Zonko's.
"Gin! You were gone for twenty minutes!" Hermione gave Ginny a worried hug.
"I ran into Malfoy. We talked and he, um, kissed me. I really like him but it's not going to work out" Ginny started to cry.
"Oh Ginny, don't cry, you're better off without Malfoy" Harry rested a hand on her shoulder.
"Your baby is due in a month! Come on, you should have names picked out and everything!" Hermione smiled.
"Names?! Oh my gosh! I haven't even thought of a NAME for the kid!" Ginny placed a hand over her mouth.
"Let's go back to your house and pick some ok?" Hermione grinned.
"You up for it Harry?" Ginny asked him.
"Yeah whatever" Harry rolled his eyes.
They apparated to Ginny's apartment and got out her baby names book. The three of them sat on the floor, poring over them all.
"What about Anna?" Hermione suggested.
"Nah, my cousins name is Anna" Ginny shook her head.
"Elizabeth is a pretty one" Harry said.
"Too..old" She shrugged.
"I think Thomas is a nice name for a boy" Hermione said.
"Yeah, I like Thomas" Ginny smiled.
" Excellent. I reckon Alice is cool" Harry told them.
"Too plain!" Hermione rolled her eyes.
"Grace and Candice are really pretty" Ginny said, scanning the book.
"Ooohhhh, Holly and Hamilton are nice!" Hermione said, looking over her shoulder.
"Holly's ok but Hamilton? He sounds like a friggin hotel!" Harry said while looking at Hermione as if she'd just sprouted bubotuber pus from her ears.
"What about Immogen?" Ginny asked them.
"Not bad" Hermione said.
"Jamie and Nicholas are good names too" Harry said.
"Yeah" Ginny and Hermione said at the same time. They looked at each other and laughed.
"I knew a guy called Jasper, I liked it" Harry suggested.
"My cat's name was Jasper" Ginny raised an eyebrow.
"Joel is gorgeous for a guy" Hermione smiled.
"Kyle. I love that name!" Ginny pointed at a name on the page.
"What about..Lexi?" Harry asked.
Ginny and Hermione looked at each other. "Um, it sounds as if she's a prostitute" Hermione bit her lip, trying not to laugh.
"Oh, Madison, Mikayla and Michelle!" Ginny grinned.
"Mitch and Jason and Kayla" Harry looked at the next page of the book.
"Nice" Hermione praised.
"If we don't choose soon, I will go fudgecakes" Ginny groaned.
They sat in silence for the next few minutes, trying to decide and eliminating names. Finally, they came to a decision.
"For a girl, Immogen Riley. If it's a boy, Kyle Nicholas" Ginny beamed.
"Um..Gin? What about the last name? Will you hyphenate the last name to Weasley-Malfoy or Malfoy-Weasley or just leave it Weasley?" Harry asked.
"I'm going to leave it Weasley" Ginny said determindly.
