Ten minutes later...
I picked them all up and stared at them.
"What? What is it?" asked Herms looking at me.
"Its...its positive." I stuttered in disbelief.
I threw the tests in the nearest bin and sunk on to the floor my face in my hands.
Herms hugged me.
"Its OK Gin." whispered Herms.
The main door opened and madam Pomfrey walked in.
"So how'd it go?" She asked gently.
Herms looked up and shook her head.
"Oh dear. Come on dear lets go into my office," said Madam Pomfrey gently.
I sniffed as Herms helped me to Madam Pomfrey's office.
She shut the door as Herms helped me to a seat.
"Right. Now dear I expect this is a shock for you and I know you'll be feeling a little down but you'll have to act like nothing has happened around teachers and classmates you don't really know.
You have to tell your parents though and close friends. I'm sure you'll get support from friends. You'll need to come here every month or so to check the baby is fine but apart from that I suggest you do no flying or Quidditch or any rough lessons including physical activity." smiled Madam Pomfrey.
I nodded silently.
"Can we go now?" asked Herms.
"Of course. But any questions don't hesitate to ask." said Madam Pomfrey understandingly.
Herm helped me back to the common room and by the time we got back it was late.
Harry and Ron were drowning their worries with several bottles of butterbeer.
"Hello? Worried are we?" asked Herms making me smile.
"Ginny are you OK?" asked Harry getting up.
I looked at Herms to see if I should tell them.
She nodded.
"I think you both should sit down," said Hermione keeping her face grave.
Ron and Harry looked at each other quizzically before sitting down.
"Well Gin tell them," said Herms.
"Tell us what?" asked Ron.
"I'm um I'm pregnant." I said.
"WHAT?" yelled Harry and Ron at the time.
"That's right pregnant to Malfoy," said Herms.
"Oh god." said Ron his head in his hands.
"Oh no." sighed Harry looking down.
I could tell they were dreading it so I ran to my dorm, Herms calling after me.
I jumped onto my bed and lay on my back looking up at the material of my canopy.
I heard my dorm mates come in talking cheerfully. I wanted to tell them I was pregnant but I didn't want their sympathy just yet.
I got a piece of parchment and a quill from my dresser and began to write to my mum.
I just didn't want to tell her by letter but I wanted her to get a ticket booked for Christmas so I could tell her then.
I finished it and threw my quill onto my dresser. I folded the parchment in half twice and got off the bed. I went back down to the common room and walked over to where I had left the three talking.
When Ron spotted me they stopped talking.
"Um Ron can I borrow Pig?" I asked.
Ron nodded asking no questions.
I then walked up to the Owlery and immediately spotted Pig bouncing up and down in between Hedwig and a Himalayan snow owl.
"Calm down Pig. Its just me." I said picking him up and stroking his grey feathers.
Pig hooted and looked eagerly at me.
"Here you are boy. Now take it to mum fast and don't stop for anything." I said putting the letter in his talons.
Pig hooted and bit my finger in a comforting way.
I threw his little self out the window and watched as he flew off into the darkening night sky.
I remembered whom the Himalayan snow owl belonged to and the owl looked at me.
I got a spare piece of parchment out of my robe pocket and wrote a quick note to Draco using a pencil.
I saw Slither give me a wink and held out his foot for the note.
I gave it to him and Slither fell asleep with the note still clasped in his talons.
I walked back to the common room and saw Harry sat alone in front of the fire drinking more butterbeer.
"Harry. Can I join you?" I asked.
Harry still looked into the fire but nodded his head, in a dazed sort of way.
I sat down on the floor next to him and looked up to see him looking at me.
"Gin I still love you, you know." whispered Harry.
"I know. And I love you too." I whispered back.
Harry sat down on the floor next to me and put his arm round my shoulders.
"I won't let anything happen to you or the baby I promise." said Harry.
"Thanks." I said leaning my head on his shoulder.
"So can I kiss you?" asked Harry.
"Yeah you can kiss me." I said with a smile.
Harry guided my lips to his and we kissed deeply.
"So...." said Harry after he finished.
"Just kiss me." I said pulling him to me.
"Hm." said Harry urging me on.
I stopped kissing him and pulled away.
"What's wrong?" asked Harry.
"Its later. I'd better go to bed." I said guiltily.
"Yeah guess I had better too," said Harry.
"But Harry do me a favour." I said after we had both got to our feet.
"Um sure. What?" asked Harry.
"Kiss me so I know I'm not dreaming." I said.
"My pleasure." smiled Harry pulling me close so I was against his chest.
I was kissed so passionately I felt myself melt in his arms.
When he stopped he kissed my forehead lightly before whispering goodnight and walking towards the boys staircase.
I watched as he climbed the staircase and then I went up to my own dorm.
The others were all asleep and I changed into pyjamas and sat on the windowsill looking at the full moon through the window.
My kitten Karma that I got for my sixteenth birthday was sat purring at my feet.
I sighed and jumped off the windowsill. I picked up Karma and put her on the end of my bed.
I then climbed into bed listening to the sound of Karma's purring and the breathing of the others.
Eventually my mind drifted and I fell asleep dreaming of Harry.
I picked them all up and stared at them.
"What? What is it?" asked Herms looking at me.
"Its...its positive." I stuttered in disbelief.
I threw the tests in the nearest bin and sunk on to the floor my face in my hands.
