Thanks for all the reviews!
Alex20, I didn't mean to make Ginny bitchy just really upset and as to the slut
part, well that was what she felt like at the moment.
Josh Potter, That is a good excuse and I will use it!
Harry and Ginny has been through a lot and both of them are very keen on putting
the past behind them, bear that in mind as you read this chapter because things
will be a tiny bit rushed.

Chapter 5 True love conquers all
Harry spent another night awake. He went to bed right after he'd walked Ginny
back to Mrs Figg's house. He had thought that nothing would ever change like it
had done a few days ago but then this happens and every changed a hundred times
more. In comparison, even his parent's death seemed as trivial as homework. Just
when the night had reached its darkest point, it hit him hard. He could not be a
father it was not safe. It was one thing if Ginny who was old enough and
understood the risks of being with him choose to do so, it was a completely
different thing for a baby who didn't even know anything about Voldemort to be
with him especially as he was going to be responsible for it being the child's
father. He would not allow any children of his to be around people like him, not
as long as Voldemort was alive. At first, he figured that Ginny would have to
raise their child on her own, even though he had decided that he wanted to raise
his child together with Ginny, but then he figured that it would probably be
pretty obvious who the father was. Especially as people could count and wouldn't
have too much trouble figuring out that Ginny had been with him when she
conceived.
The room slowly brightened as Harry's thoughts whirled around in his head, he
didn't realise that it was morning until he heard a knock on the door. He knew
it was Ginny she usually dropped by every morning after breakfast and before her
daily muggle tasks. This morning however, she was early and had probably left
Mrs Figg's without eating.
"Didn't sleep much either?" Ginny asked dryly when he opened the door, she
looked dead tired.
"Not for a second" Harry replied and let Ginny enter. They didn't say anything
for several minutes. Ginny sat down at the table and Harry started making
breakfast for them in silence. A few moments later, he served them the breakfast
and sat down opposite her.
"Harry I can't do this alone I was wrong, I don't want to put any pressure on
you so if you want me to I'll get rid of it I will" Ginny said not showing any
kind of emotion.
Harry knew that having a child was the most stupid thing he could do at the
moment and a part of him was relieved but another a more primitive part said
very firmly that he would rather die then let anything happen to his and Ginny's
child. He was torn between emotions and logic for several minutes.
"What are our options?" Harry asked as the more logical part of him had to give
in a little.
"It's simple either we have our child or we end it" Ginny said looking more
tired then ever but still not showing any sign of any emotion "If we have a
child we would have to protect it"
"What if we have the child and then give it away to someone where it will be
safe?" Harry asked.
Ginny sighed "I though you of all people wouldn't do that"
"You're right" Harry muttered, he wouldn't do that.
"Harry, if we have our child we would have to hide" Ginny said "No one knows
anything and we could keep it that way"
"I figured that too" Harry said.
They sat in silence for a moment. Harry tried to picture his life somewhere far
away with only him and Ginny and their child, a place where no one knew who they
were, a place Voldemort had no real power.
"We would have to leave Europe" Ginny said suddenly.
Harry nodded, he'd come to that conclusion as well "Ginny are you sure about
this?"
"Yes" Ginny answered shortly "But I can't do it without you"
"I think I want to" Harry said and his primitive side did some kind of vicious
victory dance inside him causing him to smile faintly.
Ginny gave him a calculating look "This is for life Harry"
"Yes I know that" Harry replied he wondered briefly how Ginny could make him
feel as young and inexperienced as he usually did when he was talking to
Dumbledore even though Ginny technically was almost a year younger then him.
Her face broke into a smile and she looked as if she wanted to dance with joy,
Harry knew then that he was making the right choice.
"It's kind of funny isn't it" Ginny said smiling uncertainly "Unless Bill gets
lucky with his girlfriend I am going to have mum's first grand child and it's
really her fault too I mean everything I ever knew about sex was what Angelina
told us and she never bothered describing what kind of protection she used. I
mean of course I knew that you had to use protection it just never occurred to
me what love is for"
Harry smiled slightly her story pretty much matched his though he was quite sure
Dean was just making his stories up. They sat in silence gathering their
thoughts.
"When do you recon we would have to leave?" Harry asked looking down at Ginny's
stomach.
Ginny smiled sadly and looked down on her flat stomach as well "I don't know if
I wear lose clothes maybe we got until Christmas"
"That's no good, then we wouldn't have any time to get settled in where ever we
go and you shouldn't be travelling in the winter in your condition" Harry said.
Ginny smiled so warmly that Harry was half expecting a ministry owl to drop by
any second telling Ginny off for doing heating charms.
"I don't think we should go back to Hogwarts" Ginny said "Almost nobody knows
yet that we even like each other and if we go at the end of the summer holyday
no one will even suspect that I am pregnant"
"We can't tell anyone" Harry stated think aloud.
"I've thought about that" Ginny said equally serious "It would be best if
everyone thought we were dead"
"They would be devastated" Harry said
"It's better then missing, presumed dead" Ginny said "Mum could never take that.
It will be much better if it is quick. Besides if we do it really good even
Voldemort might think you are dead and then no one would ever even search for us"
"He can probably feel me through the connection" Harry said sadly.
"If we practice Occlumency every day really hard maybe we could trick him" Ginny
said "Voldemort wasn't even aware of the connection until last year it must be
much weaker on his side"
"So how do you figure we should die" Harry asked as Ginny seamed to have come a
lot further in her thoughts then he had in his.
"Well since they won't find our bodies I suggest we pretend to die in a fire"
Ginny said looking around in the room. Harry knew she was thinking of burning
down the entire house.
"Do you really believe people would believe we died in a fire?" Harry asked.
"We'll make it look like a suicide" Ginny said "We could make it look as we did
something stupid romantic thing"
"Ron wouldn't believe that" Harry said dismissingly.
"Not Ron perhaps but Hermione might, you could suggest that your scar hurt so
badly that you couldn't stand it anymore and since everyone already knows I've
had a hopeless crush on you since I was ten it wouldn't be too odd if I joined
you. We could also suggest that I am slightly insane since Riddle possessed me
in our goodbye letter" Ginny thought out load.
"Do you really think it could work?" He asked.
"It's better then just disappearing besides you get to burn this house" Ginny
joked though to Harry it wasn't a joke he really would like to burn this house
"The prophet will definitely believe it, they love tragedies"
"All right" Harry said "But then what, it would be good if we could use magic"
"We could get our wants unlocked in Knockturn Alley" Ginny suggested "Dad always
complains that all a parole has to do so that the ministry doesn't detect any
magic is to have his wand unlocked for five galleons in Knockturn Alley"
Harry marvelled at how someone so incredible beautiful could be so bright at the
same time.
"Oh no you don't Potter. I know that look!" Ginny said seriously.
At that moment, an owl landed on the table Harry had not seen where it came from
but he guessed it had entered through his bedroom window since it was open.
"That must be your OWL results" Ginny stated as the owl held out its leg for
Harry. Harry read the letter quickly it was indeed his OWL results.
"Yeah" Harry said distractedly and handed Ginny the letter.
"You could become an auror with these" Ginny said and Harry realised that that
was the least of all the things he ever wanted to do with his life. He then
realised clearer then ever what he wanted to do with his life. He wanted a life
with Ginny and he wanted to raise their child.
Before he could stop himself, he was kneeling next to Ginny probably thanks to
his more primitive self.
"I don't have a ring" He said awkwardly it had not occurred to him until then
that it was custom to present the girl with a ring but at the moment that didn't
matter much they had something much more important "I want a life with you Ginny
no matter where or how"
He took a deep breath and forced himself to keep looking into her deep brown
eyes "Will you… be my wife?"
Ginny stared at him, had Harry not known Ginny so well he would have thought she
was trying to think of a way to let him down nicely but he knew better and he
knew she was seriously considering it. He got worried when Ginny looked away
from him for a moment but then she fixed him with her gaze harder then ever and
Harry knew she would give it to him strait whether she accepted or not.
"Yes I would love to be your wife" Ginny said and Harry kissed firmly on her
mouth it was a sweet innocent kiss, the first kiss of their new life.
"But you better get me a ring" Ginny giggled when they broke the kiss.
"I'll get you the best ring ever" Harry promised relieved beyond belief, he
kissed her again.
"It doesn't have to expensive, just nice" Ginny said out of old Weasley habit.
Harry kissed her quickly again "I wish we could tell your mother"
"She would kill you" Ginny giggled "I am way too young to get married"
"Who said anything about getting married soon?" Harry asked kissing her
playfully.
"Let's get married when we have found our place" Ginny said dreamily but then
something sad drifted over her face "I won't be able to be Mrs Potter, we'll
have to figure out new names"
Harry smiled "Not yet Mrs Virginia Potter to be"
Ginny kissed him softly and slowly "Say it again, I like it"
"Who is kinky now Mrs Potter?" Harry asked teasingly.
"Your wife to be" Ginny replied and kissed him more passionate then before.
"You have to eat more properly now" Harry said when they broke the kiss.
Ginny burst out laughing "I love you so terrible much. It hurts so wonderfully"
"Looks like we are going to make a habit of it after all Mrs Potter to be" Harry
said, piercing a piece of bacon with Ginny's fork and fed it too her. Ginny
smiled at him and made him sit down on a chair so that she could sit in his lap
while he fed her.
"Ginny I think we better find a way for you to see a doctor so we know you are
alright and everything" Harry said as he made her drink some orange juice.
"No need. As long as it glows golden everything is fine" Ginny said looking
closely at the stone pendent. It was almost transparent except for a warm glow
from the centre of it.
"Okay but I am going to the drugstore today and I am going to find out what you
need to eat and everything… you haven't had any morning sickness have you?"
"No, but it's only been a little more then one day" Ginny said "Besides I don't
think it's that usual mum was only sick when she expected Charlie and the twins
of course"
Harry chuckled.
"Do you think it is a boy or a girl?" Ginny asked putting her hand on her
stomach as if hoping to feel the answer. Harry covered her hand with his.
"I don't know your mum got loads of boys and my mum got me so perhaps it's a
boy" Harry said.
"Yeah perhaps, but technically that increases the chances of it being a girl"
Ginny replied pulling up her blouse and placing his hand directly on her warm
stomach.
"I can't believe how fat you are going to get" Harry teased her after a few
moments.
"I am not going to get fat" Ginny said indignantly "And you better be nice to me
or I'll will name him or her myself"
"No way" Harry exclaimed smiling widely "You got a horribly taste for name you
named your brothers owl pig!"
"I do not have a horrible taste for names and I didn't name him pig, his name is
Pigwidgeon" Ginny said also smiling widely.
Harry raised his eyebrows in a silent doubt.
"Oh you are no fun anymore" Ginny said teasingly and stood up "If you get
dressed quickly you have time to walk me to Mrs Figg's"
Harry hurriedly got dressed. When he had walked Ginny all the way to Mrs Figg's
he continued towards the pharmacy to get all kinds of brochures on pregnancy. He
made sure no one noticed the brochures and as an excuse of entering the pharmacy
in the first place, he bought condoms. He tried to make sure that the order
guard saw what he bought so that no one would suspect that Ginny was pregnant.
He walked strait back home and started to read, he wanted to be the best father
ever.
