Chapter 34 – Preparation
Despair... That's another thing Ginny taught Draco.
With her witty come backs, her loving friendship and sincere love, Ginny had made him find out what love and friendship meant. And now that she was hurt, he blamed her for making him feel so weak, so useless, so desperate...
Draco needed Ginny by his side, to help him face his new personality, his new feelings, but she had been sleeping for the last two days.
Two days... It had been two days since Ginny and Harry had conquered over Lord Voldemort.
Harry had fainted out of pure shock and weakness, after performing the killing curse, while Ginny had fainted as well, but for different reasons. She had been injured with a powerful venomous hex, which made her loose too much blood and energy.
She was in coma, fighting the venom that flowed in her blood.
It was now dinner time, and while the whole school ate and laughed in the Great Hall, celebrating You-Know-Who's death, Draco Malfoy sat beside his wife's bed, in the school's Infirmary, holding her hand and wishing she would wake up.
"Ginny, are you going to sleep forever?" he whispered, playing with her wedding ring, on her hand. "We still have to marry in front of your family, you know? My father isn't coming... He was killed and my mother is dead as well, so you are my only family now..."
"That's not true... We have our baby as well..." a weak voice mumbled, surprising him.
There she was, her brown eyes a little open and a small smile on her lips.
"Oh Ginny... I thought you'd never wake up!" he sighed in relief, holding her in his arms, never wanting to let her go again. "How are you feeling?"
"As if I've ran a Marathon... My heart is beating so fast that I'm feeling dizzy and sick." She complained, slowly caressing his unshaved face. "What is this? The vain Draco Malfoy hasn't shaved for a few days?"
Draco chuckled and kissed her forehead tenderly. His Ginny was back.
"I'll shave in a few moments... For now, I'm going to tell Madame Pomfrey that you're awake." He smiled, leaving her bedside and returning soon after with the school's nurse.
"How are you feeling, Mrs. Malfoy?" the nurse asked, checking Ginny's vitals.
"Tired, dizzy, sick and heart beating way too fast..." Ginny replied with a sigh.
The nurse gave her a small smile and made her drink some potion.
"How's our baby?" Ginny asked, placing a hand over her stomach and noticed that it wasn't as round as it had been before. "How long have I been sleeping? Where's my child?"
"Shh, darling... Hermione save our child when Dumbledore saw that you had venom flowing in your blood. She transferred the baby into her womb..." Draco explained with a gentle smile, and Ginny finally got calmer. "You have been in a coma for the last 2 days..."
"Thank Merlin everything's ok..." she mumbled, before she fell asleep with his hands between her own.
When she woke up again, her bed was surrounded by red heads, two blonds and a brown one.
"Hello everyone..." she smiled, watching as everyone shouted her name and ran to hug her strongly. Her mother was crying and sobbing, her father was just smiling happily, as where all her brothers.
"Gin-Gin, how are you sis?" Fred said as he ruffled her hair.
"I'm ok, Fred... Boy, am I glad to see you all!" she chuckled. "A lot as happened since last September..."
"Yes, we know that..." everyone mumbled, looking at Draco with worry.
"Don't you dare to do anything to Draco, you all hear me? He's my husband and we love each other very much..." Ginny said, holding Draco's hand and making him sit on her bed, next to her. All her brothers nodded their agreement and started talking about Voldemort's death.
Then, Ginny noticed the second blond person and recognized her.
"Luna... Hello!" Ginny smiled, as she noticed Luna Lovegood sitting on Ron's lap, with her hands around his waist.
"Hello, Gin... I hope you're better..." Luna smiled, shyly.
"Oh, I'm fine now... I'm happy to see both of you together..." Ginny smiled.
Her brother and Luna blushed and remained quiet.
"Hermione... Thank you once again for saving my baby!" Ginny said, hugging Draco's waist while she looked at her friend, sitting on Harry's lap with a hand over her belly.
"Ginny, it was the least I could do... Besides, feeling a baby inside of me makes me want to be pregnant as well..." Hermione said, blushing.
"Well, that's a very good idea... We could start practicing!" Harry whispered in her ear, making her giggle.
"Hey, Potter, don't you even think about doing those things while she's carrying my son!" Draco complained, angrily.
Everyone laughed and soon Draco joined them.
"Ginny, can I give you your baby back?" Hermione asked, preparing her wand.
"No..."
"What?" everyone asked, surprised with Ginny's answer.
"There's something I need to do first, and I don't know how dangerous it is, so I would like Hermione to keep the baby for a few more hours..." she explained, her eyes explaining everything to Draco. "Can you take me to Snape's chambers?"
"WHY?" everyone asked, surprised.
"I need to save Angel..." she explained, leaving her bed and placing a blanket around her body, to cover her nightgown.
"Do you feel better?" Molly asked, concerned.
"Yes, Mum, I'm as good as always, but I need to do this now..." Ginny smiled, hugging her mother and father at the same time.
"Ok, you can all wait for us on the Potion's room, while I take her to our chambers to take a bath and dress something warm." Draco said, holding Ginny in his arms as if she were a small baby, before he left the Infirmary.
"Hello my King..." she smiled, kissing him softly.
"Hello my Queen..." he chuckled, tightening his hold on her body.
Draco patiently waited for her to take her rose scented bubble bath and watched her as she put on her jeans and hand knitted jumper. Gently he placed her school robes around her shoulders and led her to the Dungeons.
"What is the meaning of this, Mrs. Malfoy?" Snape asked coldly, as soon as Ginny and Draco arrived to the Potions classroom. Her family was sitting on the front desks and Snape was throwing killer looks to Fred and George whom insisted in playing with the Potion Ingredients' closet.
"Professor, I'm here to save Angel, just like I've promised you!" Ginny said, walking rapidly to the Professor's desk. "Where did you spend your time with Angel?"
"In my chambers, why?" he asked suspiciously, raising an eyebrow.
"That's where we'll start... Come with me Professor!" she ordered, holding Draco's hand as she walked to the door that led to his private quarters. Her whole family made a move to follow, but Ginny ordered them to stay put and they obeyed.
