(A/N: Like I posted in a review, Ginny is not due in Early August, she's due in September.  If she were due in August, then she would be very premature.  Ok now we're skipping ahead to June when Draco, Hermione, Ron, and Harry are going to graduate in a two weeks.  I don't know when school gets out or how they do graduation in Great Britain, so I'm just going to do it like they do out here in NJ.)

2 and a half months later…

    "Hermione will you put that book down?  You know you're going to pass all the finals.  Let me ask you this: When did you ever get lower then a 95 on any of your papers for the past seven years?"  Harry asked Hermione one Sunday night in the Gryffindor Common room.  Their finals started the next day and ended on Wednesday.  They had off for the rest of the week, then rehearsal for Graduation started.

    "Well never I don't think…but I must do something with my time, and brushing up on Goblin Rebellions is the best way I know how."  Hermione replied.

    "Is it just me, or is Professor Binns obsessed with Goblin Rebellions?"  Harry asked.  Hermione chucked a pillow at him.  "By the way, how's Ginny doing?  I mean we've hardly seen her since the wedding."  Harry said rubbing his head where the pillow hit.  He then said in a lower voice so nobody would hear.  (Nobody knows about it yet.  They don't even know Draco and Ginny are Married.)  "How far is she?"

    "Five and a half months."  Ron said without looking up from the book he was reading.  Harry noticed a slight cold expression on his face.

    Hermione also noticed Ron's sullen face.  "When are you going to let it go Ron?  You can't plot her life for her you know."  She said.

    "She could have done better!  I mean why did it have to be Malfoy?"  Ron said with anger.

    "Times have changed Ron.  That was years ago.  Draco is no longer like that.  Ginny has changed him.  The least you could do is accept him.  At least your parents and brothers have accepted him.  Besides, it's no longer an option.  It's too late."  Hermione said.

    "I can't believe you're taking his side.  After all the times he's called you mudblood."  Ron then slammed his book shut and went up the stairs to the boy's dormitory.

    "He hasn't called me that since 4th year Ron.  Heck he doesn't even insult anybody anymore.  Not even you or your family!"  Hermione called after him.

    "Well I better go talk to him then."  Harry said getting up, but Hermione stopped him.  "No.  He has to deal with this his own way.  He could either accept it, or he can act like a baby and rant around the place.  Either way it's not going to change anything."

    "You're right."  Harry said sitting back down and picking up his potions book.  "I better brush up on my potions.  I have a feeling Snape's exam is going to be the hardest."

    "Finally!"  Hermione said only to be answered by a pillow in her face.

Meanwhile…

    "Ok I got the éclairs, but they ran out of doughnuts.  They're baking them as we speak, and should be ready later tonight.  Do you want me to go there later and pick them up for you?"  Draco said handing Ginny a bag in their home.

    "No that's all right.  You don't have to.  Thank you Draco."  Ginny said starting on an éclair as she was studying.  "Ok can you quiz me on potions?"  Ginny asked Draco as he sat on the couch where they were.

    "Sure."  Draco replied taking her notes and started to ask her the ingredients to certain potions.  When he finished, Ginny then asked him.  "Shouldn't you be studying as well?"

    "I already have dear.  I know almost everything.  My brain is almost as big as Hermione's."  Draco replied with a grin.

    "Oh stop it!  You're so…so…" But she never finished because Draco then embraced her in an extravagant kiss.  After a quite a few seconds, Ginny pulled away.  "You know that never gets tiring.  You'd think it would because you do it so many times."  Draco didn't answer, but gave her another big kiss.

    "Well that was fun, but it tired me out.  What time is it?"  Draco asked looking at the clock on the wall.  It was 10:30.  "What do you say we hit the sack?"  Draco asked Ginny getting up.

    "Again?  We just did it last night, and the night before that!" Ginny said putting away her books and notes."

    "I didn't me that, I meant just going to sleep.  But if you really want, I don't mind."  Draco said helping her up.

    "No, that's all right.  I'm quite tired myself."  Ginny answered walking to the bedroom.  Draco had a slight expression of disappointment on his face, but he brushed it away, and followed her to the bedroom.

* * *

    The next morning woke up Ginny with a bout of morning sickness.  She ran to the bathroom, and shut the door.  It was Draco's idea to have her on the side closest to the bathroom.  The sudden movement woke up Draco as well.  "Shouldn't you be done with morning sickness?"  He called.

    Ginny came out a few minutes later with her arm against her stomach.  "It's different with every woman.  Some end in the first three months, some don't end until the seventh month.  But God I hope mine ends soon!  Oh when will this thing come out?"  Ginny asked to no one in particular and getting back in bed.  It was only 5:00 in the morning.

    "You still have three and a half months.  Believe me, I want it out as much as you do so you can stop asking that question."  Draco said only to see that Ginny fell asleep again.  He took that opportunity to look down at her stomach and gulped when he saw the very noticeable lump there.  *Oh God that's mine. * Draco thought turning over and falling back asleep.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-Two weeks later, Draco, Ginny, Harry, Ron, and Hermione all passed their finals, and it's the night before Graduation in the Great Hall…

    Professor Dumbledore then got up as soon as all the 7th years filed in for their farewell feast.  All though Ginny was a 6th year, she was invited too.  "Well it has been seven magical years for sure.  There have been ups and downs alike.  And tomorrow, you will all graduate.  So benefit from you're last meal here at Hogwarts, and instead of sitting at your house tables, you are allowed to freely move about, and sit with whomever you want.  Enjoy!" 

    He then sat down, and food like no other appeared on the tables before them.  A lot of people got up and moved around to different tables.  Pretty much everybody but the Slytherins.  Well Draco got up and moved next to Ginny, but he was the only one.  Harry noticed surprisingly that Ron got up and moved to the Hufflepuff table next to Hannah Abbot and immediately engaged her in conversation.

    "Well well well.  It looks like your brother finally found someone, Ginny."  Draco said also noticing Ron's change.

    Ginny looked at Ron for one brief moment before turning back to her meat pie.  "Oh that.  I've known about it for the last two years.  Ron has been seeing her in private ever since they worked at the same pot in Herbology.  He just didn't want anyone to know about it."  She said casually.

    Harry turned around to face Ginny.  "You know about this?  How did you find out about and not tell anybody?"

    "I found them in an empty classroom two years ago, and they made me not tell anybody.  Actually, last year, they told me I could tell anybody I wanted, but I didn't anyway."  Ginny replied.

    "How come you didn't tell anybody?"  Hermione asked now interested.

    "Well no one asked."  Ginny said jokingly.

    The rest of the evening went well, and even the Slytherins started to socialize.  By midnight, everyone was feeling full, but not tired.  Dumbledore got up again.  "I know it is late, but I doubt any of you want to go to bed just yet."  He paused to hear everyone's murmur of agreement.  "So I will allow you to stay up until 4 am to party all you like, and I will move the Graduation ceremony to 6 pm tomorrow.  That gives you four hours to do whatever you wish.  But no later, I don't want you to sleep in and miss your own graduation!"  As soon as he sat down, the lights dimmed, and music started to play out of nowhere.

    For the next four hours, everyone partied like it was 1899.  Even Ginny got up and slow danced.  Then at precisely 4 am, the lights went back to normal, and the music stopped.  "Well that was fun."  Draco said.  The students filed out of the Great Hall and proceeded to their dormitories.  Ginny and Draco however went to their own room on the second floor.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

    The next morning found all the graduating students in the Great Hall waiting nervously for the Graduation Ceremony to start.  A few students were pacing up and down wearing grooves in the floor.  All the graduate's families were waiting outside on the front lawn.  Ginny included along with the rest of the Weasleys.  In a half hour, the graduates' file out of the castle and the ceremony would begin.  Back in the Great Hall, Hermione's legs were moving so fast you'd swear she had a motor attached to her.  "Hermione will you calm down?  You're going to cause an earthquake!"  Harry said trying to stop her legs from moving.

    "Oh sure you can be calm, I'm the one who has to say a speech!"  Hermione said.
    "Hmmm…I suppose there is a consequence with being to smart.  Ow!!!"  Harry yelped after Hermione punched him a little too hard from being nervous.

    Fifteen more minutes passed, then Professor McGonnagal came in and motioned them to follow her in the formation they practiced.  They then filed out and walked in pairs up the middle aisle and sat down in the first dozen rows to the tune of Pomp and Circumstance.  Once everyone was seated, Dumbledore stood up and went to the podium and began his opening words.

* * *Skipping ahead a little bit* * *

    "And now some of Hogwarts own students that have a talent in singing will perform In My Life by the famous muggle group The Beatles."  Professor Dumbledore said.  Then half a dozen students got up and stood in front of the audience that included Padma, Lavender, Hannah, Terry Boot, Ernie Macmillan, and surprisingly, Draco.  Although all the rest of the 7th years knew about Draco's beautiful tenor voice from rehearsal, Ginny did not.  She just sat there, mouth gaping open and hearing Draco's voice above everyone else's.

* * *Later still * * *

    Dumbledore got up again and addressed the audience.  "Furthermore, before I hand out the diplomas, Our Valedictorian Hermione Granger will present her speech."  He then stepped down and let Hermione take the podium.

    Hermione got up to the podium, took a deep breath and started.  "Over the past seven years we have seen courage in Ron Weasley, bravery in Harry Potter, a change of heart in Draco Malfoy, and knowledge in yours truly."  She paused for chuckles in the audience.  "Not to mention extreme talents in other subjects such as singing, as we've heard in Ernie Macmillan, artistic ability in Dean Thomas, and well played quidditch capability in Susan Bones.  All of these things could not have come to these gifted students and other talents too much to name, without the help of all the knowledge that our educators could have taught us.  Without teachers, we would not have learned all the basics that one needs to learn in life.  Sure we've all had our favorites like Professor Lupin, and not so favorites like, I'm glad I'm graduating today, or else I'd never say this, like Professor Snape."  A few more giggles, especially from the Gryffindors.  Snape just had one of those looks that make him look dignified even though he just got insulted.  "But he has taught us to make very useful potions that we may need in real life, so he's not all bad.  As we conclude this final day at a school that has been our home for the greater part of seven years, we will miss this place.  We will miss some of the classes, not miss some other classes…like divination in my case…we'll miss all the Quidditch games between houses, and I know everyone will miss the feeling they get when their house won the house cup for the year.  I will personally miss the castle and most of it's secrets more then I have missed anything more in my life, and I hope that other students after this class will enjoy it as much as we did.  Thank You."  She finished wiping a tear from her eye, and sitting back down, to much applause from the audience.

    Dumbledore got up yet again.  "And now we will hand out the diplomas signifying that the following students have become fully certified Witches and Wizards.  Abbot, Hannah…" Hannah stood up, walked up the stand and received her diploma, pausing for pictures.  She purposely did that, because they had included that in the rehearsals.

    Professor Dumbledore continued down the list, which was the same as the list McGonnagal read at the sorting.  A little bit later, everyone had received their diploma.  When the last one was given out, Dumbledore had a big smile on his face and said.  "Congratulations Graduating Class of 2001!"  All the 7th years jumped up and threw their hats into the air in celebration.  Harry, Ron, and Hermione have now become fully-fledged wizards.  *Now I can torture Dudley as much as I want! *  Harry thought to himself with glee.

(A/N:  I think this is the longest chapter.  Now the fun begins with Draco and Ginny!)
