Harry Potter and the Year of Changes
Chapter Twelve: Ginny's Birthday
The next few days went by quickly and soon it was Ginny's birthday. Harry woke up early that morning, grabbed her present and set it beside her on the bed. He sat down next to her, leaned in and kissed her long and hard until she kissed back to let him know she was awake.
Harry leaned back and smiled at her, "Happy Birthday Ginny."
She smiled and looked up into his green eyes, "Good morning Sweetums."
He smiled back as she sat up a bit in bed and kissed him gently. They held one another close and he handed her the package with her present in it. Ginny smiled at him sweetly and said, "You really didn't have to sweetums."
Harry smiled at her, "Open it up cutie."
She smiled and slowly opened the present to reveal a Muggle music box. It was the same blue that her eyes were, with gold edging, and inside it there was a mirror on the bottom. Ginny opened the music box carefully, only to have the song it played fill the room. The song was "Edelweiss" from something called "The Sound of Music". Ginny loved it and threw her arms around Harry and kissed him long and hard. He kissed back and moved the box onto the table beside the bed. Their kissing quickly turned to making love, and when they were done they held one another close, and kissed for a while.
They got up after a bit and got ready for the day. Hermione and Jeramy walked down to breakfast with them, Hermione having spent the night in the boys' corridor with Jeramy. Thankfully it was a Saturday, so there weren't any classes that day. They all ate breakfast quickly and finished just as the owl post was arriving. Six owls landed in front of Ginny, all with various sized packages for her birthday.
The entire Gryffindor table, lead by the Quidditch team and Harry, sang Happy Birthday to Ginny. After which Ginny opened her packages from her family, revealing sweets and home made treats from her parents, along with a Diary, that had her name embossed on it. Fred and George sent samples from their store, Percy sent her a Wizarding station radio, along with a few tapes. Bill sent her a curse book on Egyptian Curses, and Charlie sent her a book on wild Dragons.
Ginny smiled at her presents and Harry kissed her on the cheek, gently rubbing her knee while she was talking to Hermione, Lavender, Parvati and Laura about plans for her & Harry's wedding. She was having the best birthday she could've had already. Draco came up to the Gryffindor table and quickly talked to Harry and Ginny, "Happy Birthday Ginny! Have either of you seen Hope this morning?"
Harry and Ginny looked at each other and then at Draco, Harry answered for both of them, "We haven't seen her no, is everything alright Draco?"
Draco smiled, "Yeah, I just had Quidditch practice last night and we didn't get done 'til late, so I didn't want to rush in and wake her up last night."
With that Draco left with a rather odd look on his face and rushed out of the room, Harry and Ginny assumed he was off to find Hope. Not even a moment latter Serendipity, Harry's mum's owl, landed in front of Harry squawking like crazy. Harry quickly took the letter off her leg and read it.
"Harry, Ginny, Hope and Draco, I'm sorry to inform you, Lily has taken quite ill. The doctors are doing all they can for her and the baby. Apparently she's been with child longer than Lily and I had thought the baby should be born in mid-February. Your Mum just wanted you to know. We're both alright, I'll send an owl immediately if you need to come home. We love & miss you all. Love, Sirius"
Harry didn't say anything, tears were rolling down his cheeks, he wanted to go home and be with his Mum and Sirius. Ginny saw the tears and started freaking out immediately, "Harry? Harry what's wrong? Is it my Mum? Your Mum? Harry what's going on?"
Harry looked at Ginny, her own eyes were swelling up with tears, he handed her the letter and she read it. She read it and hugged him close to her, "It'll be okay sweetums, Sirius would come get us if it was really bad."
Harry managed a smile at Ginny, "I know, I'm just worried."
Ginny kissed him gently, and pulled him closer to her while she kissed him. He kissed back, but pulled away, "Hope, we have to go find her Ginny."
With that Harry and Ginny grabbed their things and ran for Gryffindor tower. When they got there Draco was standing outside the girls' lavatory, saying "Hope, baby come on, open the door. Whatever it is we can work it out, come on honey. Hope? Hope come on, open up. I know you're upset about all of this but really darling going through this alone isn't helping you. Hope? Hope come on, open up, please?"
Harry looked at Draco, "Did she get an owl from Sirius too?"
Draco looked at him, "What? Oh, no, why?"
"Just tell her to come out of there, Ginny and I need to talk to the two of you about something."
"Oh, okay. Hope? Harry and Ginny need to talk to us. Baby? Come on out, I think it's important."
Hope finally came out, Ginny saw Hope nod at Draco oddly, and then they came out to talk to Harry and Ginny. Hope saw how upset they both were and quickly said, "Is Mum okay? Sirius? The baby? Harry what's going on?"
Harry looked at her and calmly said, "Mum's in a hospital, the doctors are doing all they can for her and the baby, Sirius thinks they'll all be fine. He'll come and get us if something goes wrong."
Hope buried her head into Draco's arms and started crying uncontrollably. After a while they calmed down, and the entire Quidditch team came in the room. Hermione and Jeramy grabbed Harry and Ginny and pulled them the whole way to Hogsmeade. Draco and Hope came along as well. The team brought them to Three Broomsticks, where they all had butter beer and celebrated Ginny's birthday.
Owen, Jeanette, Nicole and Lisa were there too, it was the first time they'd spent time with Harry and Ginny since Harry's birthday since Owen had been so busy learning all the things from both his second and third year to try to catch up to them. He had taken most of his courses for the second year over the summer, and was well underway with his third year, Dumbledore had suggested he catch up to the fourth years the second half of the school year.
Lisa and Harry told Owen that he was crazy, and just to learn what he had to. Once the group was done at Three Broomsticks, they all walked around Hogsmeade shopping for a while. Harry kept his arms around Ginny most of the day, and when other wizards took notice of her his grip got a little tighter around her, which made her blush.
After walking around Hogsmeade for a while they all went back to the castle. Hermione, Lavender and Hope got Ginny to come with them for a while so that Harry would have time to sneak away and get a little surprise ready for Ginny. Once it was all set and perfect Harry grabbed his Marauders Map and found where they were, the Quidditch Field, he couldn't help but think 'Perfect. where's my broom?' He chuckled to himself, grabbed it and ran towards the front door.
When he got to the edge of the field he could see all four of them on their brooms, buzzing about with some of the Ravenclaw team and a few of the other reserve Gryffindor team players, playing a quick game. Hermione was busily looking for the snitch, while Ginny was scoring once again. Lavender and Hope were passing the other Quaffle back and forth trying to get it to score for them.
Laura Bell and Dean Thomas were playing with the Ravenclaw team, since they'd been short two chasers to make the game fair. Laura was almost as good as Ginny, and after the event with Malfoy earlier Harry had been seriously debating pulling Ginny back into the reserves so that she wouldn't get hurt again and letting Laura take over. Malfoy was playing seeker for the Ravenclaw team, though Harry noticed he seamed to be watching Hope more than he was watching for the snitch.
Harry also noticed any time Hope moved funny Malfoy looked like he was ready to dive down and pull her right onto his broom. But Neville and Jeramy who were busy kicking Buldgers away from Ginny and Lavender quickly distracted Harry. Thomas Spinnet was the keeper for the Gryffindor players, he was doing just as good as Greg would have done at this point. He waited until the sun started to go down just a little bit so that he could more easily surprise Ginny.
Harry quickly mounted his broom and sneaked up on the field and waited for Ginny to try to score. He didn't have to wait long, because within two minutes she tried to score. She wasn't paying attention to where she was going, and ran right into Harry's waiting arms that grabbed her, and her broom quickly, and dived towards the ground as fast as he could. Ginny screamed the entire way, hitting and kicking at Harry, and then started yelling at him, "LET GO OF ME! DO YOU NOT KNOW WHO MY BOYFRIEND IS? LET GO OF ME! SOMEONE GO GET HARRY! HELP! LET GO OF ME! LET GO OF ME YOU BLOODY JERK! HELP! HARRY!"
Harry started laughing and Ginny was too upset to recognize the laugh as his laugh and just go more upset and started crying and kicking and hitting more. She kept right on screaming too, "THIS ISN'T FUNNY! MY BOYFRIEND IS HARRY POTTER AND WHEN HE GETS AHOLD OF YOU, YOU'LL WISH YOU WERE NEVER BORN! LET GO OF ME YOU JERK! HELP ME! HERMIONE! JERAMY! GET HARRY!"
Harry finally landed and placed Ginny down on the ground right next to a table and two chairs with lit candles and a nice meal for the two of them that he had made himself. He'd placed a mixture or red and pink roses on her chair for her. Ginny however saw none of this, turned around and punched him dead on the nose before looking to see who he was. The minute she saw his scar when his hands went up to his nose she screamed, "HARRY! Oh for the love of Merlin! I'm so sorry sweetums, are you alright?"
Harry's nose was bleeding fairly badly, and he was in a significant amount of pain. Ginny hugged him and tried to help him with his nose apologizing over and over again. Harry cracked a grin and said, "I think I need to go see Madam Pomfrey."
Ginny smiled at him, "I'm so sorry sweetums, let's go together real quick."
Harry smiled at her, kissed her and said quickly, "No, you stay here. I'll be right back."
He ran up to see Madam Pomfrey and came back down the minute she got his nose to stop bleeding. The rest of the night they spent together, eating the dinner that Harry had made, kissing and cuddling. After a while they brought everything inside and went up to Gryffindor tower where Ginny and Harry spent the night cuddling in Harry's bed while Ginny fussed over Harry's nose.
