Chap 7- Friends?
"Mum's gonna kill her!" Ron's voice was blank. His face reflected the colours of Nearly Headless Nick's.
"My god! I'm such an idiot! WHAT AM I GOING TO DO?" Harry was practically yelling in the empty common room.
"I have no idea." Hermione said calmly.
"Me neither!" Harry replied. Ebony sat stoned face
"You could always marry her!" she said bluntly.
"WHAT!! She's 16! I'd have to ask her parents and they would FREAK!!!!" he saw how startled Ebony was and sat down beside her.
"Sorry Ebony." he said as calmly as he could. He started to cry when he realized that his life was full of so much shit!!!! Hermione and Ebony tried to comfort him but he dried his tears and trekked out of the common room. Ron had disappeared.
"Ginny. I've thought a lot about our situation. I can only find one solution," he said as he entered Ginny's hospital room.
"What is it Harry?" she asked.
"Will you marry me Ginny Weasley?" he asked. Ginny smiled at him as he pulled the ring holding the Potter crest from his finger and placed it on her ring finger.
"Harry... Do you mean it? Sirius gave this to you for your 16th birthday!!! Do you actually mean it?" she asked dumbfounded.
"Yes. Ginny Weasley...will you marry me?" he asked again.
"Hell YES!!!!" she jumped from the bed and hugged Harry like he had never been hugged before. Now that that was over Harry started to worry out what Mr. Weasley was going to say once he found out that Harry had impregnated his daughter and was now engaged to her with out his permission. Would Harry ever be allowed in the Weasley's household ever again? As if Ginny had read his mind she said,
"Harry. Don't worry it'll be okay. I'll tell mum and dad."
"Gin. It's my responsibility. I'll tell them everything except about the baby." he said
"No! Harry they're my parents. I'll tell them. You deal with Ron! Okay?"
"Okay!" Harry saw no point in fighting with her so he calmly sat down beside her bed. For the next few weeks Harry expected a howler form the Weasley's. To Harry and Ginny's relief not one arrived. One night not long after Ginny was released from the Hospital Wing, Harry and her were sitting in a quiet spot in the common room when Errol flew through the window and dropped a note on Harry's lap.
"Harry. Should I open it?" Ginny asked.
"It'll be all right!" he said and tore open the letter.
Ginny,
I understand that you love Harry but must you really disturb your school year. Can't it wait until the summer? If it is extremely urgent then we give our permission. Please return post us with the time and date so we may see the ceremony.
Love, Mum and Dad
Harry smiled weakly and hugged Ginny closer.
"Oh. Harry I'll write them back tonight. Will you tell Ron? He won't talk to me!" she said.
"Sure. I'll do it right now. Go write to your mum." he smiled and walked over to Ron, Hermione and Ebony. Ron made to get up but Harry stopped him.
"Ron. Will you be my best man?
"I'll think about it!" he stalked off without another word.
"He's still mad at me isn't he? It was a fucking accident!!!!!! Man! I'm going to bed. I'm not putting up with his shit anymore! If you see Ginny tell her I'm in my room!" he skulked out of the common room and into his room. He tore out a piece of parchment and wrote to his godfather. The next morning Harry sat at the end of the Gryffindor table by himself. Hermione and Ron sat beside Seamus and Dean. Ginny hadn't come down to breakfast yet. Ebony walked into the hall with Draco. She flashed him a sweet smile and a kiss and joined Hermione.
***
"Herm. Ou est Harry?"(Where's Harry?) She asked in French so that nobody else would know.
"La bas!" (Over there.) Hermione pointed her head to the opposite end of the table.
"Pourquoi?"(Why?) Ebony asked.
"Je en said pas. Peut etre lui!"(I don't know. Maybe him!) She nodded in Ron's direction, who was currently looking at his plate.
"Oh!" she got up after saying goodbye and went to Harry.
***
"Where's she going?" Ron questioned.
"To talk to Harry! You haven't eaten anything Ron. Is something wrong?"
"No. I've just been thinking!"
"Don't hurt yourself Weasel!" Draco's silky voice interrupted them.
"Buzz off Ferret Boy!" she spat. He smirked and walked towards Ebony.
"Hey Woman!"
"Hey Drakey!" Harry snorted. They ignored it.
"I told you my name is Ebony, not WOMAN!"
***
"Je suis desole mon cherie!"(I'm sorry my love)"Draco said.
"Oui. Je sais. Aurevoir mon amour."(Yes. I know. Goodbye my love!) She kissed him. When Draco had walked away Harry let go of his disgust!
***
"EWWW!" he shivered.
"What?" Ebony asked
"Oh. Nothing in particular. It's just that I'm not accustomed to seeing people be nice to Ferret boy!" Harry explained
"Ferret Boy? Where'd that come form?" she asked.
"Well on our fourth year here our DADA teacher Mad Eye Moody turned Draco into a ferret for punishment. Fricking hilarious if you ask me! You should ask him about it!" he said.
"I'll make sure I don't." she smiled at Harry.
"So where's Ginny?" she asked.
"No clue. She should be eating after all..." he murmured.
"Yeah well! I'll see you later. I have to go up to the library! See you in Potions." she said and waved goodbye.
"Great, another Hermione." he said to himself. Harry rolled his eyes as Ginny came in.
"Hey Gin. You have to eat!"
"Settle down. Have you talked to Ron?" she asked.
"I talked, he listened then walked away!" Harry's voice as emotional and strained.
"He's so stubborn! I can't believe him! OR Hermione! What a great friend she's been! She's done absolutely NOTHING!!!!"
"It' s okay. He'll get over it!!!"
"Harry you obviously don't know your best friend very well. He'll never give up this silent treatment CRAP!"
"I'll talk to him. Please eat something!" he said.
"Okay...In a minute!" she rushed over to Ron and Hermione. She slapped her hand across the back of his head. The hall murmured as she back handed him.
"What the hell?" Ron yelled as he felt a sharp pain.
"What the fuck do you think you're doing Virginia Weasley?" he yelled
"I could ask you the same question RONALD ARTHUR WEASLEY!" she yelled back. A few weak giggles could be heard in the hall. The teacher's stood transfixed. They all knew about the pregnancy of Virginia Weasley. Madame Pomfrey had of course told the whole staff at the soonest possible time.
"What the hell are you talking about Ginny?" Ron asked
"See that guy down there? His name is Harry Potter! Do you remember him..." Ron cut her off,
"Of course I remember him. What do you think... that I'm stupid?"
"DON'T INTERRUPT ME! He used to be your best friend. Yours too Hermione. You used to help him get out of trouble as well as get him into it. Now that he's made one measly mistake, you go and turn your fucking backs on him. You sit down here like two bumps on a fucking log when you could be comforting him in his time of need!" she nodded at her brother and strode down to Harry. She picked up a shiny red apple and kissed her fiancé deeply before leaving the silent hall.
"Well. Now that we have that over. Please continue to eat your food." Dumbledore's voice resonated through he hall. The older man caught Harry's eye and asked him to come over. "Mr. Potter. Will you please inform Ms. Granger and Mr. Weasley to come to my office? Please come with your soon to be wife before classes begin. Thank you."
"How did...Okay sir." Harry was confused but went and told his old best friends what the headmaster had said. Hagrid caught up with Harry as he was about to leave the hall. "Professor Dumb'ldore t'ld me to give ya this." he passed Harry a piece of folded parchment.
"Thanks." Harry smiled weakly and walked towards the Head Boy's room. He didn't know how he could live beside Hermione for so long. She lived right next door. It was hell! As he murmured the password he heard sobs coming from his room.
"Gin. You in here?" he asked.
"In the bed!" she sobbed. Harry made his way to the bed and found Ginny cuddled into his blankets.
"Honey. It'll be all right. Forget him. He's being an ass! Let him be! He'll get over it if he knows what's good for him." he whispered into her ear.
"Now. Stop crying. We have classes but first we have to go see Professor Dumbledore."
"Why?" she asked.
"Don't know. Let's go find out." he stood up and brought Ginny out of the bed. They met with Ron and Hermione waiting outside the statue of the gargoyle that led to Dumbledore's office. Harry took out the parchment form his pants pockets and said the password. Soon all four of them were standing outside of Dumbledore's office.
