The Truth Behind The Lies
Chapter seven
Disclaimer: I own nothing!
Harry laughed hollowly, the alcohol hadn't worn off but he was starting to feel dizzy. The two simple gravestones stood side by side, on the first the name Lily Potter on the second the name James Potter, his parents, they had been dead for twenty five years, nearly all of his life. Sitting in the front of the gravestones he crossed his legs and rested his broomstick in front of him.
"Hi Mum, hi Dad, its me Harry," There was no response, not that he actually expected any,
"I got dumped today, I don't know why, Herm went crazy, I don't get it, I love her, thought she loved me, so again I'm all alone. I hope that Aunt Petunia, Uncle Vernon and Cousin Dudley aren't bothering you, I mean they bothered me for about eighteen years, I suppose you're no different. I really miss you, I know, I know I never got to know you, I sometimes dream that I go home and you're both there and we're a family. Dad brags to Sirius about my achievements and Mum tells everybody about me and Herm, and I'd have parents everybody would want to talk to. That'll never happen, it can't, you're dead, you both died to save me, to save everybody, I can't thank you enough for that. I will one day but for now I guess I'll just have to dream." Harry sighed and sat staring at the graves, fresh spring flowers grew permanantly and the grass was always cut. It wasn't his first time vsiting the graves, since he had found out where they were he had made yearly visits on the anniversary of their deaths.
"Your probably wondering why I'm here so early, the truth is I don't know myself, I could have talked to Sirius, and don't get me wrong he's the best guardian ever, but he's just not you guys. Ron will be mad I didn't tell him, but he's Hermione's best friend as well. Ginny's trying to prove Malfoy didn't kill my remaining family and well Hermione just dumped me, who else could I talk to?"
Standing behind a large gravestone Hermione, Ron and Sirius looked at their feet uncomfortably.
"He's right isn't he?" Ron finally said breaking the awkward silence,
"Yeah, geez I can't believe I didn't realise how much pain he was in, I could have listened, I feel terible, so terrible." Hermione murmured staring at the dejected for of Harry.
"Come on lets go talk to him," Sirius said as he walked over to stand behind Harry, Hermione and Ron exchanged worried looks before joining them.
"Harry, are you goint to be okay?" Sirius asked awkwardly, Harry nodded,
"Yeah, I think so." After glancing at Hermione Sirius continued,
"I think Hermione has something she forgot to tell you earlier." Turning Harry raised an eyebrow,
"What?" he asked warily, Hermione sat down on the snow covered grass and took his hand in hers,
"Harry, I'm, sort of, kinda pregnant." Harry looked at her and grinned before hugging her tightly,
"you're pregnant? I'm gonna be a daddy, you're gonna be a mummy, we're gonna be parents, I'm gonna faint now." With that his eyes rolled back into his head and he collapsed in a dead faint.
"You're pregnant? Congratulations Herm, this is so cool, Sirius, you're going to be a god-grandfather." Ron said picking Harry up and throwing him over his shoulder,
"Come on, lets go home now, its cold."
***************************
In the livingroom Hermione, Ron, Harry, Sirius and Molly were talking excitedly when Ginny stormed in,
"Ginny dear whatevers the matter?" Molly asked as Ginny threw herself into a chair and burst into tears.
"That jerk Draco just fired me, after he messed up my house and spent all morning watching The Simpsons. Great Merlin the man is insufferable." The questions poured in and Ginny answered them between sobs,
"He's a jerk, clothes all over the place, insists he could prove he was innocent himself then fired me in a manner of speaking." Narcissa chose that moment to enter the room, when she saw Ginny in tears she stopped,
"Oh dear, whats Draco done now?" Ginny started to cry again and Molly explained to Narcissa who sighed,
"Ginny hon, take my advice, give him a week, he'll be so lost in legal papers he'll beg you to take him back." Ginny laughed,
"It'll take more than begging for me to work for him again." Cissa sighed and gave Molly a knowing look,
"I'm sure you will, you two are just adorable together." Ginny stared at her aghast,
"No offence Mrs Malfoy but thats just disgusting." Narcissa laughed,
"You say that now, but I think within a few weeks you'll know what I mean." Snorting Ginny took a sip of tea from the cup Molly had just handed her,
"Whatever you say Mrs Malfoy, whatever you say." She suddenly glanced around at everybody and gave a shriek hugging Hermione and Harry,
"Oh my goodness, congratulations Herm, Harry, I can't believe you're pregnant, how long have you known?" Hermione stared at her in surprise,
"How did you know?" Ginny shrugged,
"I had a feeling, I'm right aren't I?" Harry nodded proudly and she hugged them again,
"Oh this is fabulous news. Herm we must go shopping for baby clothes, when are you free?"
"Er, Friday I think, I'll get back to you." Ginny grinned,
"Great."
Sitting in a corner lost in his own thoughts Ron was pondering what Narcissa had said, *Ginny and Malfoy? it couldn't be could it?* he thought staring at his sister who was discussing baby clothes with Hermione.
"I have got to talk to Malfoy." Molly turned to look at him,
"What was that Ron?" She asked, Ron shook his head,
"Nothing mum."
**********************
Draco sat in a high backed leather chair, on his knee was a large stack of legal documents, he had been reading them for ten minutes and already his head was hurting. A knocking at the door gave him a welcome distraction and gratefully he dumped the documents on the floor and went to open the door.
Opening the large oak door he came face to face with an irate Ron who grabbed him by the collar and threw him against the wall, pinning him with his feet a few inches off the floor.
"Alright Malfoy, you are going to tell me everything! Got it?" Draco nodded his ice blue eyes wide with shock,
"Okay Weasley, now let me go will you?" Ron narrowed his eyes,
"Not yet Malfoy, I have a few questions first. One, is there anything between you and Ginny?"
"Hell no!"
"Two, are you in love with her?"
"You are sick Weasley, now let me go." Ron tightened his grip on Draco's collar,
"I'll give you one minute to answer me now, Why did you fire Ginny?" Draco paled slightly,
"We had an argument, I may have said I could free myslef and she quit, I didn't fire her, but I didn't try to stop her either, Weasley, I hate to say this, but, I'm in over my head." Ron smirked and dropped Draco to the floor where he slid down and landed with a bump.
"Must you be so rough? Weasley even you could at least be gentle when you manhandle people."
"Your lucky that's all I did to you Malfoy, you have three days to beg for forgiveness, if you don't I'll go tell Chang that Ginny isn't working for you anymore and you'll be back in jail faster than you can say 'please I', innocent' !" Draco crossed his arms across his chest,
"Fine, have it your way, but don't tell little Weasley you came, she'll kill us both." Ron nodded with a grin,
"Yep, she will, just remember, Three Days."
