The next week the morning sickness kicked in. I was hoping I wouldn't
get it for another week. My hopes were dashed.
I took a walk to the library to get a book on pregnancy. Turns out
there was a potion I could make to prevent morning sickness. But I didn't
understand a word. I needed help. The only person I could think of was
Hermione.
She was my best friend and amazing at potions, but she was also Ron's
girlfriend. I just hoped she could keep the secret of my pregnancy until
Christmas break.
I found her in the common room studying.
"Mione, I need to ask you a favor."
"Anything Gin what's up?"
"What I have to ask involves you keeping something important from
Ron for a while. Can you do that, it's really important to me? You can't
tell him no matter what."
" Okay. I promise."
" I need you to help me make a morning sickness potion."
I looked at Mione's face she was shocked.
" I didn't even know you and Harry did it. Weren't you careful?!"
" We only did it once and what we used didn't work. We're going to
tell my family on Christmas break."
" Oh Gin how scary are you okay?"
" I'm fine I was freaked at first but Harry got me through it.
He's been so great. But I'm glad I needed help with the potion, it's good
to have someone to talk to about this besides Harry."
" What are you guys going to do?"
" Can you keep another secret?"
" Sure why not!"
" We're engaged." I whispered.
" Oh, Gin that's great! Hey, why don't you give me that book
I'll Make the whole potion, you have enough on your plate I think it'll
take a day or to."
" Thanks Mione! I gotta go I have to meet Harry!"
" See Ya!"

I was meeting Harry by the lake again. It was where we always met. I remember having our first kiss there. It was beautiful
~*~ Flashback~*~
I was standing by the shore watching the sun set. I just had a fight with Ron. Harry came up behind me. " Gin, Ron's my best friend but he can be a real prat sometimes." " Tell me about it, I'm not four anymore I don't need him protecting me all the time." " I know, you're all grown up." I looked up into Harry's eyes; he instantly made it all better. We got closer. Harry pulled me to him and kissed me tenderly. I was surprised and happy. I had waited for this for so long. That was when it all began.
~*~ End of Flashback~*~
Harry was standing by the rocks, looking intently at the water. I snuck up behind him and put my arms around his waist kissing his neck. " Hey babe" He said. " I told Hermione about the baby, I needed her to help me with the morning sickness potion. Which isn't really in the morning, whoever thought of that was just stupid." He turned around. " Did you have to tell her she might tell Ron." " No she'll never tell." " Did you tell her anything else?" " Maybe.." I said teasingly. I tickled his stomach. " What?" " I told her we were engaged." " Gin, you blabbed everything." " After telling her I was pregnant, which I had to do because morning sickness is hell and I'm not dealing with it much longer. That was nothing." " I guess." " So Harry, about our wedding when is it?" " How about New Years Day?" " Sound perfect, where?" " What about here?" " Here? Harry we can't have the wedding at Hogwarts." " Why not? We could have the ceremony here at the lake and the reception in the Grand Hall." " That's actually a great idea. We had our first kiss here, our first time, we got engaged here. This is wonderful!" " I'm glad you think so" " We'll have to ask Dumbledore before we tell my parents then." " I know he can keep a secret." " When should we ask him?" " How about tonight, after dinner?" " Sounds super!" Just then I saw Hermione running towards us her face pale. " Ginny!" She yelled " What's wrong?" I asked her. " Ron found it!" " Found what?" " The book with the morning sickness potion. I told him I was making it for a friend but that won't hold for long, he's noticed you puking all the time." " We need to call a family meeting at the Burrow tomorrow. I'll go to Professor McGonagall for passes for Harry, me, you, and Ron to leave campus." I said " Good idea. Hermione keep Ron busy so he doesn't have time to put two and two together until tomorrow, okay?" said Harry. " All right" replied Hermione.
