Chapter 29 – The only way
The next few weeks were terrible for Ginny. When she wasn't feeling sick and weak, she was in the school's library doing research on how to help Angel.
So far, she had nothing and was becoming nervous and worried. Angel hadn't came out of Snape's room for the last weeks and she was getting thinner and thinner, her voice was always sad and she looked like she could burst into tears anytime now...
Right now, Ginny was sitting in the library with 10 different open books in front of her, trying to find out how to lift a curse from someone, while Draco and Hermione searched for similar information on restricted books.
"Gin, I've got Quidditch practice... Please, go to our bedroom and have some rest, ok?" Draco whispered in her ear, kissing her cheek.
"Ok, have a nice practice." she smiled as he left.
"It's so weird how he changed so much..." Hermione confessed, with a smile.
"I know... But I love him this way." Ginny said, with a happy twinkle in her eyes.
"Ginny, I agree with Draco, you should have some rest... You've been spending way too much time in here!" Hermione said, picking up some books to take them back to the Restricted Section.
Ginny left her seat and started closing some of those books, waiting for Hermione to come and get them, when she saw something on one of them. It was an image of two women and a foetus between them.
Moved by curiosity she ran her eyes over the text and had to sit again in a state of shock. She had found the answer to her problem...
"Ginny? Are you ok? You look a little pale..." Hermione asked, picking up a few more books to place on their correct shelves.
"I'm fine, Hermione..." Ginny lied. "Look, could you go to my room tonight, after dinner, and take Ron and Harry? There's something we need to talk about..."
"What is it?" Hermione asked, worried.
"After dinner, you'll know..." Ginny replied, picking up her things and running out of the library with a hand over her mouth. She was about to be sick again.
Ginny didn't go to the Great Hall for dinner, she was feeling terrible and she had too many things on her mind to be able to eat anything.
"Hey, are you feeling ok?" Draco asked, when he arrived from dinner.
"I'll be fine, don't worry..." she smiled, watching him sit on the couch next to her and pull her to his arms. "Ron, Hermione and Harry are coming here in a few moments... I need to tell something to the four of you."
"Is it serious?" he asked with a frown.
"Yes, it is... But don't worry, you'll know what's going on in a few moments." She replied, closing her eyes to feel his scent and enjoy the feeling of protection.
The couple had been in each other's arms, in a comfortable silence, for the last moments, when a knock sounded on their door and Draco welcomed the visits. As soon as everyone was sitting on the couches by the fire, Ginny cleared her throat and took a deep breath.
"A few hours ago, just before dinner, I found out the information I was seeking... The information to save Angel from her fate. You all know that if I lift the curse from Angel, I will loose my baby, and I don't want that to happen, so, I found a way to save Angel and my baby at the same time..." Ginny explained, pacing the room. "For that, I would need another woman to help me... And I wanted that woman to be Hermione!"
"What did you find? Why do you need me?" Hermione asked, confused.
"If I transfer my baby to another woman's womb, I'll be able to lift the curse from Angel, and then I would transfer the baby back to my womb." Ginny explained. "I want you to carry my baby while I save Angel..."
Everyone stared at Ginny in shock. Had they heard her correctly? She wanted to put her baby inside of Hermione?
"Ginny... I don't think this is a good idea." Draco mumbled, running a hand through his wet hair. "Are you sure you read the information properly?"
"Yes, I'm sure. There wouldn't be any kind of problems to the baby, me or Hermione..." Ginny explained. "Please, this is the only way we've found after so much research!"
"I'm not sure I want you to do that, Ginny..." Hermione whispered, both her hands locked with Harry's, searching for strength in him.
"I don't want to do it, either, Mione, but I have to... I don't want Angel to die!" Ginny cried, and Draco walked to her, embracing her strongly.
"If you want to do it, then do it... I'll be here for you." Draco whispered in her ear. "As long as I have you by my side, I'll do whatever you want me to."
"Thank you, Draco..." she kissed his lips softly.
"Ginny, I think Hermione needs some time to think about it... Can you wait a few days?" Harry asked, sadly, running a hand through his girlfriend's hair, while she hugged his waist strongly.
"Ok... Mione, I've asked you cause you're the only one I trust with my baby... If you say no, I'll understand..." Ginny said, leaving the living room to go to her bedroom.
"This is getting harder and harder on her..." Ron said, as soon as Ginny was out of the room. "I'm worried about her."
"So am I, Weasley... She has this need to save Angel, and no one can stop her from trying. If Hermione says no, we'll have to find someone trustworthy, and that will be difficult." Draco said, pacing the room in deep thought.
"Hermione and I will talk about this and tell you what we've decided later." Harry replied, leaving the room with Hermione and Ron.
"Let's just hope it isn't too late, by then, or I'm sure Ginny will do something stupid and loose our baby..." Draco said, as soon as he was left alone in the room. "Between loosing my baby and not loosing anyone by transferring the baby, I prefer the second choice..."
With a deep sigh, he went to his bedroom to comfort his wife and give her strengths.
