Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter at all. No way not at all none. I don't own the song either. It's "See the Sun" by Dido.

I'm comin' 'round to open the blinds
You can't hide here any longer
My God you need to rinse those puffy eyes
You can't last here any longer

And yes they'll ask you where you've been
And you'll have to tell them again and again

And you probably don't want to hear tomorrow's another day
Well I promise you you'll see the sun again
And you're asking me why pain's the only way to happiness
And I promise you you'll see the sun again


After casting a spell so that Draco could not apparate into her apartment anymore Ginny started to try and mend her now broken heart. It was impossible. As improbable as it was she'd fallen hopelessly in love with Draco. She couldn't even imagine herself being with another man. A month later Ginny still hadn't gotten her period yet. Nervously she made an appointment with a healer named Miranda. Miranda had been Ginny's healer for a long time and they knew each other well.

"Yes, you are about six weeks along I'd say. You came in awfully early most people don't realize they could be pregnant until they're at least two months along." Miranda told Ginny.

Ginny couldn't help the tears that formed in her eyes. "I just had this feeling."

"You do want this baby right? What will the father think?" Miranda asked.

"There isn't a father. I mean, the father doesn't matter. He doesn't want this child." Ginny told her remembering Draco implicitly telling her he didn't want children and especially not hers.

"Do you want it though? I know how hard it is for you financially. You're flat broke and no one in your family can help you in any way."

"I want it. More than anything, I want this baby. I'll manage somehow." Ginny said resolutely, knowing that her life would never again be the same. She never imagined she'd be a single mom but she'd give this child all the love she had. Draco would never even know he had a child because she'd never tell him. Depression settled on her for while until Sarah came along and opened her eyes to all the things she had. Sarah told her,

"Ginny you have so much. I know that you are mourning Draco, but you have to see past that. You have a family that loves you and would do anything to help you. And you have friends that are the exact same way. Yeah, so your baby won't know his father but that doesn't mean that he'll be any worse off or that he'll be less precious to you in any way. You love Draco, I understand that but your child will show you a love that is so immeasurable, so perfect. It's a love that can heal you if you'll just let it. Don't let Malfoy destroy you, he's not worth it."

Ginny realized that Sarah was right. Her life was full not empty and her world would go on spinning with or without Draco Malfoy.

Her family had been shocked to say the least when she'd told them the news of her pregnancy. Eventually they became excited for her when they could see how happy she was about it. Financially it was hard for her. She was always strapped for cash but that was ok. Her child might not have money but he or she would be loved greatly, which was far more valuable. After she began to show, she quit her job and began work with a local wizarding newspaper. She was just a filing clerk but it paid better than her old job and she ran no risk of running into Draco. Even though, through the grapevine she'd heard Draco had moved away to some other part of the country for his job, she still didn't want to have any chance of him seeing her.

The day Ginny went into labor Hermione, her old and dear friend, was with her the whole time. Sarah wanted to be there but wasn't able to get off work in time to make it. The delivery went smoothly until the very end. Ginny couldn't stop bleeding and there wasn't a spell that seemed to be able to stop the flow of blood. Eventually the combined effect of the spells and potions worked and stopped the loss but Ginny nearly died. The blood loss was so great that she was in a coma for days afterward. When she awoke her baby was brought to her and she held it tightly close to her chest.

"Hello son. I'm your Mum. You're so beautiful. If I'd died you would've been worth it Simon, my little Simon." Ginny bent down and brushed a kiss on her new son's forehead.


"Mum, I want milk." Simon, who was now four years old called to Ginny.

"What word do you need to add to the end, Sweetie?" Ginny asked gently.

"I forgot. Can I please have some milk?" Simon said and smiled sweetly. Simon had grown into a cute little boy, he was also exceptionally bright. He was a mix of his mother and father; having his mother's eyes and his father's hair. It wasn't quite as blonde as Draco's but was blonde nonetheless.

"Sure." Ginny walked over to the fridge and pulled out a glass of milk. "Are you excited about seeing Aunt Sarah today? I know she is really excited to see you!"

"I like Sarah. She's nice." Simon said smiling. "Why are you dressed like that?" Simon asked.

Ginny looked down at her outfit. She was wearing the best dress robes she had. Today she had to go and talk to the finance person at the hospital where Simon had recently been admitted. Simon had asthma and he had it badly. Even with the potion he took daily, he still had trouble. A few months ago, Simon had not been able to breathe and had to be admitted into the hospital to undergo a thorough treatment. A week in the hospital, the ingredients in the potions, the time the healers spent casting spells and concocting the potions hadn't come cheaply. She was deeply in debt and hoped the hospital would help her with her fees.

"I have something I have to do. I'll be home as soon as I can." Ginny told Simon. Sarah appeared and said hello to Simon.

"Good luck, Gin." Sarah hugged Ginny, trying to give her confidence.

"Thanks. I love you Simon." Ginny kissed Simon and gave him a hard squeeze before disappearing.

"Why, of all the people do I have to be stuck on the same council as Draco Malfoy?" Hermione moaned at Ron.

"I dunno but you better give him hell. I hate him. I'd curse him if I could do it without getting caught." Ron said, polishing his broomstick. He was on a Premier Quidditch team.

"Caught or not, it's going to be a hard thing to resist. I hate him." Hermione told Ron as she left for work.

…..

"Hermione Granger. How are you doing?" Draco drawled as Hermione walked into the room.

"You know what? Let's just do this, you don't talk to me and I won't talk to you." Hermione practically threw her case on the table and took a seat across from Draco.

"What's your problem? Love life got you down?" Draco taunted.

"No, actually my love life is fine. From what I hear yours is the one that sucks. Just like you." Hermione was referring to Draco's recent divorce.

"That hurts."

"I'm sure. You have no feelings. Oh wait, except for being selfish I forgot about that." Hermione pulled a pad of parchment and a quill from her bag.

"You really are in a bad mood."

"Look. Let's just stop sharing and focus on the work. That's all that matters anyway right? Making money, money and more money?"

Just then the rest of the council joined them so Draco couldn't answer her insult with one of his own.
