Chapter 21: Ginny and Hermione
Hermione woke up earlier than Draco the following day. When she woke up a smile spread over her face. She was so happy. She loved Draco with all her heart and she was happy that she was with him. Hermione got up, put her clothes on, and started to write a note to Draco. She wrote.
Dear Draco,
I'm at the Gryffindor common room changing my gown. I'll be back in ten minutes.
Love, Hermione
She left the note on Draco's desk and went to the Gryffindor common room. When she entered the girl's dormitory, she noticed that Ginny wasn't crying. Hermione went and sat next to her.
"Ginny, how are you today?" Hermione asked.
"Not too bad, I guess." Ginny replied.
"Oh Ginny! I can't believe he can do this to you!" Hermione cried as she hugged Ginny.
Ginny didn't say anything.
"How was yesterday?" Ginny asked Hermione.
"It was the most amazing day of my life." Hermione replied with a smile.
"What did you guys do?" Ginny asked.
"We went to a couple of stores in Hogsmeade. Then he took me to dinner at the Three Broomsticks." Hermione told Ginny. "After that we went walking along the lakeside. And then. we went to his dorm."
"Oh my god, Hermione. How was it?" Ginny asked. She seemed to have forgotten about Harry.
"It was wonderful." Hermione replied. "I came to change my clothes so I won't get asked why I'm wearing this gown today too."
"Ok, change your clothes so you won't keep Draco waiting." Ginny said. And all of the sudden she returned back to her depressed mood again.
"Ginny I think you should come out with me." Hermione said.
"No, Hermione. I don't want to see him." Ginny said.
"He's depressed too, Ginny." Hermione said. "He doesn't go out of the common room either."
Ginny shrugged. Hermione went to her bed and started to change her clothes. She wore a white Capri with a red shirt. Then she went down to the common room. She saw Ron and Parvati making out in a corner and she saw Harry sitting alone in another corner of the world. She went over to Harry and said, "Harry, you don't know how upset Ginny is! I can't believe your hurting her like this."
Harry didn't say anything. Hermione left him and went out of the common room. She went back to Draco's dorm. When she went in, she saw that Draco was getting dressed. She went over to him and hugged him.
"You saw my note?" Hermione asked.
"Yeah." Draco replied.
"How'd you sleep?
"Great!" Draco replied with a smile. "So what do you want to do today?"
"I think we should go to the library and study a bit." Hermione replied. "N.E.W.T.'s are coming up soon."
"Hermione, there is still three months until the N.E.W.T's." Draco said.
"It's ok. Besides, I've got loads of homework to do." Hermione said.
"Ok. Let's go." Draco said as he opened the door.
When Draco and Hermione got to the library, they saw Ron and Parvati there. They went over to them and said, "Hi."
"Hi." Ron and Parvati responded.
"How are you?" Hermione asked Parvati.
"I'm good. How are you?" Parvati asked.
"Yeah, me too." Hermione replied.
"Ron, how are things going?" Draco asked.
"Good." Ron said. "How about with you?"
"Great." Draco replied.
They talked for a while. Then all started to do their homework.
For that whole week Draco and Hermione were in the library, catching up on their homework. Ron and Parvati were now seen together more often, and Harry and Ginny still weren't seen. Hermione missed hanging out with Ginny, and she was very mad at Harry.
"Hermione." Ginny said on Saturday evening in the common room (Harry was up in his dormitory). "I have something to tell you."
"What is it?" Hermione asked.
"Um. I can't tell you here." Ginny replied. "Let's go up."
They went up to the girl's dormitory. There was no one there.
"What happened?" Hermione asked Ginny as they went to Ginny's bed.
"Hermione, I'm- I'm. I'm pregnant." Ginny said with her face in her hands. When Ginny looked up at Hermione, she was very pale.
"Ginny, you have to tell Harry." Hermione said.
"I know." Ginny said with tears in her eyes.
"Ginny, so am I." Hermione said without looking at her.
"Yeah? Does Draco know?" Ginny asked.
"No." Hermione replied. "I'm going to tell him today."
"You want me to go tell Harry that you want to talk to him? Hermione asked Ginny.
Ginny nodded.
"Ok." Hermione said as she hugged Ginny. "Don't worry."
