Forbidden Forever: part 7
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ginny lay on a bed in the hospital ward with Madame Pomfrey standing next to her. Proffessor
Dumbledore, Proffessor McGonagall and Severus were standing in the office, Severus was
striding back and forth across the room, and Proffessor McGonagall was still puzzled as to why
he had to be there. From the other room, Ginny screamed. Severus stopped dead.
"Dumbledore!"
"No Severus. Leave it to Poppy."
Proffessor McGonagall looked at Dumbledore quizically. She still couldn't quite figure out what
was going on.
Ginny lay there, panting.
"Where's Proffessor Snape?"
"In the office dear, why?"
"Can he come in here please."
"Why dear? I don't think-" She was cut short by Ginny screaming again. "I'll ask proffessor
Dumbledore."
Proffessor Dumbledore sat, twiddling his thumbs, waiting for Madame Pomfrey to inform
them of the birth. Severus was still pacing back and forwards.
"Severus, please sit down, you are making me dizzy. Poppy will inform us of any changes in
the situation."
"She sounds like she's dying, Dumbledore. I should be in there."
Proffessor McGonagall suddenly remembered who Severus looked like."You look just like
Remus did when I had Katy." (Remus and McGonagall had got married). Suddenly, what she
had just said dawned on her. "Oh my God, Severus. It.., it's you isn't it." She sat down.
"What do you mean?" Severus asked. As if you don't know, he thought.
"You're the father. I can't believe I was so stupid not to realise it. Oh, Severus. How could you.
She's a student! do you know what the Ministry will say?!"
"Don't you realise that I don't care what the Ministry say? I love Ginny and she loves me. That's
all that matters to me. Her family have disowned her, I'm all she's got left. When this year
finshes, she's coming to live with me and we'll be a proper family. I'm going to ask her to marry
me."
"Marry you?" Proffessor McGonagall repeated faintly, she was still in shock. There was a knock
at the door.
"Dumbledore," It was Madame Pomfrey, "Ginny wants Severus to go in?"
Severus looked at Dumbledore, who nodded. He proceeded through the door. Madame
Pomfrey was about to follow him.
"Poppy, let them have a moment alone."
Severus hestitingly looked through the door.
"Severus!" Ginny gasped. He rushed to the side of the bed and hugged her.
"It's alright, they know. About us I mean. How are you?" Ginny looked at him. "Oh, ask a stupid
question."
Ginny screamed and Madame Pomfrey came rushing in. Severus didn't let go of Ginny's hand
(or rather couldn't as she was gripping it so hard) and Madame Pomfrey gave him a reproving
glare.
"Come on, push." Madame Pomfrey took Ginny's other hand. She gave a final scream and
Severus felt like she had broken his fingers.
"Oh, my!" Madame Pomfrey gasped.
Half an hour later........
Proffessors Dumbledore and McGonagall and Madame Pomfrey were standing round Ginny's
bed. Severus was sitting on the corner of it with an arm round Ginny and they were gazing at
the new baby which Ginny was holding. It was a girl and they had decided to call her Cera.
Suddenly, Severus got up.
"I have something to ask you" He was addressing Ginny. He got down on one knee. "Will you
marry me?"
Ginny gasped and Dumbledore's eyes twinkled.
"Well?"
"Yes! Of course I will!"
Severus got up and they embraced. The baby gurgled. They all laughed and Severus kissed
Ginny.
Suddenly, footsteps could be heard striding down the corridor.
"Dumbledore!" It was Cornelius Fudge. "I want a word with you!"
Dumbledore looked at Severus.
"Oh dear Severus, time to face the music."
