A/N- Here's some more- BTW, we've got over 10,000 words. It's my longest
story yet!!! People- school starts in a few days- so it might be a long
time b4 chapter 9 comes out. Sorry!
Disclaimer- If Harry Potter were mine.I wouldn't have to type up stupid disclaimers like this!!!!
Last Time: "Ginny hates our baby."
Hermione's jaw dropped. "What? That's ridiculous, no mother could hate her child." Harry however, simply sighed and said, "Ginny can. Well, I guess she loves her, but this baby is ruining her life. She doesn't want to take care of her anymore. She says she's sick of diapers and spit up, nursing and crying."
Hermione looked at him. "Oh Harry, that's so sad.." She trailed off.
"Tell me about it. So, any ideas?"
"Just one. But you're not going to like it." "Try me." He told her wryly, mopping up drool from his robes.
She told him He didn't like it.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
"Well Harry, you could give her up for adoption." Hermione suggested tentatively.
"No! I don't want to do that!"
"Then I suggest you talk to Ginny. Maybe you could figure out some sort of a plan. My only other idea might not work."
"What's that?" he asked.
"Molly Weasely might raise her for you, until you graduate. But then she might not want to give Alison up. I know I couldn't give Joe up for the world."
"Hermione, I'm not sure about that idea.."
"Me neither. That's why I originally wasn't going to mention it."
Harry groaned. He would have to talk to Ginny about it all. Dang, he did want kids, but he didn't want them yet. 16 was much to young to be a father. He wasn't ready at all. Another disturbing thought occurred to him. What if Ginny wanted to get married? He couldn't settle down now, at this point in his life. He wanted to graduate, travel, and become an Auror. Maybe play professional Quidditch even. It wasn't as though he'd done this to himself, been careless and knocked up a girl. This was a magical mishap, and not at all his fault. But to give up his daughter. He went over to Ron, who was bent over a star chart, and asked him if he could keep an eye on Alison for a bit. Ron complied, and Harry set off to his doom.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Draco was confused. How had the spell malfunctioned? They had said exactly what was on the paper. He wondered if this was all a nightmare. Maybe. He pinched himself. All right, perhaps not. He walked briskly, and quickly arrived at the owlery. He pulled out a quill and pen, and began to write.
Dear Father, It is I, Draco. Thank you for your gift of Legal yet Painful Spells. It is a most interesting book. Speaking of books, Hermione Snape? Granger? How shall I address her father? She is technically no longer a Mudblood. Well, she is my partner for that project I wrote you about last week. I should greatly appreciate it if you might come to Hogwarts at your earliest convenience. If you are too busy with the Dark Arts ordinarily, I would understand, but this is a concern about the heir we were speaking of the other day, when you said Blaise was a possible choice for the dam.
~Draco.
There. He thought that looked alright. No use now in delaying the inevitable. He gave it to Rowling, and watched as she took off. Then, spinning abruptly. He walked back to the Great Hall, where he found Crabbe and Goyle stuffing themselves with pastries. Disgusted, he signaled to them.
"What you want Draco" This was Crabbe.
"I wish for you to come with me." He told them.
"You want some?" Goyle held up a smushed pastry.

Ginny was crying uncontrollably when Harry came in. When she saw him, she sniffled and sat up. Harry looked at her for a moment. Poor kid. Middle of her OWL year, and she had to deal with this. It was unfair of him, Harry decided with a pang, to force her to continue this.
"Harry, I'm s-so sorry." Ginny whimpered.
"Nah, s'ok. Really, I know it's tough on you and all." He responded.
"I d-don't really hate the baby, but it's so much work, and I can't keep it up."
"I can try to see if we can figure out something, a schedule of sorts." Harry declared.
"Maybe." Ginny conceded.
"Or. Hermione had an idea, that ahh, it's a bit hard to put into words."
"Spit it out Harry."
"We could put her up for adoption, or- now wait, lemme finish! Or we could see if your mum would look after her during this school year and the next, then she could live with me once I leave Hogwarts."
"I don't know."
"Well, think about it. We're going to have to tell people eventually."
"I'm just afraid that, she won't want to leave Mum."
"Yeah, Hermione thought of that. She says that we could get special Floo connections from Dumbledore, and we can pop in all the time, and stay on weekends."
"That sounds good actually. I mean, I can't really handle this pace."
"So. We have to tell Dumbledore. Soon, probably." Harry sighed despondently.
"Yes. Who has Alison? I'm feeling much more amicable toward her right now." (A/N- Do you think Ginny would know a word like amicable? I'm 15, and I know it, but Ginny isn't usually that smart. except for Bat-Bogey Hexes!!!)
"Yeah, I gave her to Ron." Said Harry.
"Well, I'm going to get her, then go talk to 'Mione. Is she in her rooms?" Ginny asked.
"She was when I left." Harry informed her.
"Great. Ok, bye Harry, don't forget to do all your homework." Ginny's voice trailed off as she headed down the stairs.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
That night, the 5th and 6th year students congregated in the Great Hall to listen to the announcement. Professor McGonagall addressed them, saying, "Students, you have all performed most admirably on your projects. So, we shall be ending it a few weeks earlier than originally planned because Quidditch season is coming up. I know we're all excited to see that Slytherin-Gryffindor match!"
Professor Snape interrupted her. "Anyways, in a moments time we shall deactivate the spell." He conjured up two largish buckets. "Put your chips in the one on the left, the sacks, the one on the right." He added.
"Bu-bu-but sir." Piped up a Ravenclaw, "They won't all fit."
Snape turned around ever so slowly and glared his worst glare at the boy. "They are bewitched you stupid fool. 20 points from Ravenclaw. Are you not supposed to be the 'smart' house?"
The boy quailed, and merged into the crowd. Hermione noticed that the poor guy was still shaking. "Hey, you're all right." She reassured him. He nodded just once then stood beside his friend again.
"I shall now undo the spell." Dumbledore announced.
Hermione panicked. She had forgotten! She was so stupid. Quickly she fought her way out, and she saw the others gesturing frantically. She had just made it out the door when Dumbledore cast the spell. Anxiously, she looked at Joe. Had the spell affected him? No, he was still asleep. She then looked up urgently. "We need to go talk to Dumbledore." She said.
"Later," Harry told her. "I don't want to go this very second."
"You know, this really doesn't involve me." Ron tried to escape, but was jerked firmly back. "Why me?" was his cry as they dragged him down the hallway to Dumbledore.

A/N2- THESE ARE LONG BUT YOU MUST READ THEM ALL!!!!!
1. Sigh..I am very displeased with how I wrote Hermiones finding out to her parentage. It's was so corny and OOC, in retrospect anyway. So, you, my lovely readers, shall vote as to whether or not I should rewrite that scene. If you liked it I won't change it, but if not... 2. Why does Ginny have her own room? Because she made prefect! Lets just say they changed the rules so prefects get their own rooms. BTW- is Ginny to OOC? Hermione already has the Malfoy problem, Ron is a 3rd wheel, Harry is a git, Draco is a Malfoy- Ginny needs a problem. So yeah.
3. By the way- the plot is coming soon. The plot will include character Death, so if this bothers you in any way please do not read the fic. But that isn't until the very end. Which I haven't written down, so I could still change my mind.
4. OK- we need to clarify our review 'situation' Y'all review a ton. You tell me what you liked. Some of you just say update. But none of you ever criticize! I'm glad you like it, but I KNOW its not that good, compared to other authors. I'm not fishing for compliments either. I suppose I'm fishing for flames a bit. Tell me what you DISliked, so I can try to rectify it! Tell me what you want to see n the future- your opinions influence me more than you know!
5. Last thing- Nobody has the Hogwarts person down. ITS BLATENTLY OBVIOUS!!!! Look for the clues at the end of Chap. 7. Oh, and Lucius doesn't know everything about the plan. He doesn't know that Draco is the sire to one of the two babies. He assumed it was Ron.
