A.N. / Read and Review!!
Chapter 13
"So how long have you known Ginny?" Oliver asked Bridget trying to start conversation. "I don't remember you going to Hogwarts when I did."
"I was there, but I like to keep to myself. I don't really like making friends, apart from the ones I already have. The only reason you knew Ginny was, because of all her older brothers."
"True, but I knew Harry and I didn't know Susan or you."
"Yes, but Susan, Harry, and I didn't know we were related until last school year."
"Oh, sorry. I wished I'd have met you before, you're a beautiful girl."
"Please stop," Bridget said starting to feel like shit, she thought this guy actually liked her.
"What did I do to offend you?"
"You lied to me."
"No, I didn't, Bridget. I swear I think you're beautiful. Please trust me, you're not the trusting type. I really like you, but can we like be friends and do stuff together?" Bridget started cracking up laughing and Oliver had no clue what she was laughing about. "What's so funny? Did I say something funny?"
Bridget shook her head no, "I just think it's kind of weird to be getting hit on in at the Emergency Waiting Room at St. Mungo's, it's one I'll have to tell my grandkids. Yes, getting hit on while I'm freaking out here, on whether or not my best friend is dead or not, but sure I'll go on a date with you!"
"I'm sorry, Bridget. I really didn't mean to offend you, I'll just leave now. I didn't only stay to hit on you, you look really upset about Ginny. I wanted to stay to keep you company so you didn't worry about your best friend so much, but I guess I'll be going." Oliver stood up to leave, but a hand grabbed his wrist.
"No, please don't go. I don't mean to be giving you mixed signals. If your really hear to try and cheer me up, thanks and you can stay if I haven't scared you completely off."
"Okay, I'll stay. Anything you need me to do for you?"
"Actually there is, do you think you could get a hold of Colin Creevey for me? He'll want to know about what's going on with Ginny." Bridget sighed, and Oliver nodded and walked over to where the Floo fireplaces were located.
Bridget was a very lovely young women, she had a spirit as wild as a Mustang, but as soft as baby's skin. Her hair was so beautifully red, it looked as if it was on fire; her eyes were a brilliant green, but with little brown flakes. Her hair was very long and straight, and she always seemed to flip it over on one shoulder without even knowing that she does. Bridget did put up a front like nothing hurt her, and she only let certain people in, but you could tell she only did that for protective reasons. He wanted to get to know her, but he would just settle with friends for now.
"Hello?" Said a man dressed up in a milk man's uniform. "Uh, yes is Colin in?" Oliver asked feeling utterly stupid.
"Ah, yes. You must be a friend from his school, just a moment."
The man walked away from the fireplace and a few moments later a small boy with mousy hair came into view of the fireplace, "Hello, can I help you? You know your not suppose to you Floo in a muggle home."
"Oh, you're muggle-born? I didn't know. I was told to get a hold of you, it's about Ginny."
"What about her? Is she alright? I told her being with Harry would only bring her trouble and grief."
"She collapsed the other day in Diagon Alley, Bridget told me to get a hold of you, that you might want to see her."
"Yes, Bridget is right. I'll be there in a few moments, have to tell my dad. Thanks...uh what's your name again?"
"Oh, it's quite alright I never told you. Later."
When Oliver made it back to where Bridget and he had been sitting, he noticed someone had taken his seat. "Oh, are you back already, Oliver?" Bridget said in surprise. He nodded, "Well, this is a friend, Neville Longbottom."
"I recognize him from when I attended Hogwarts. Colin says he'll be here soon."
"So are you here to visit your parents, Neville?" Bridget asked him, Neville had told Bridget and Ginny in secret one night before Bridget knew that she was a Potter.
"Y-yes, I am." Neville said smiling, "I brought mum this, I figured she'd like it." He held up a pink stuffed bunny. "We also got dad these crayon things I used to play with, I hope it makes them happy."
Bridget smiled at Neville, he was a strong boy, but he was so afraid that he was going to upset his grandmother, which he usually did. "Well," Neville sighed. "I need to see them, grams is probably going ballistic, because I haven't gotten up there yet." Neville got up and left.
Oliver took his seat back, after Neville had walked off, Bridget and Oliver sat in silence for a little while, "Is that your boyfriend?"
Bridget started laughing hysterically, "No. He's just a friend. He went to the Yule Ball, with Ginny a few years ago, before Harry and she got together. Neville isn't really my type."
"Oh?" Oliver asked becoming really interested now. "So what is your type?"
"Hmm," Bridget said really starting to think. "A good looking guy, be athletic, smart, good personality, sweet, and not scared of a good fight."
"Miss Potter?" A nurse walked up to Bridget and Oliver and they both stood up. "I have news on Miss Weasley....."

"What do you mean, by door number one?" Draco asked his father wanting to know what he was talking about, but then again he was afraid of what his father had been plotting again.
"Well, well, well. Touchy aren't we?" Lucius laughed.
"You're disgusting!" Draco yelled at his father, "That's really disgusting you know? Love to see your son squabble?"
"No, I don't. But, I will make you squabble when you take this piece of trash against all I have teached you? Cat, open the door. Now, you either pick Autumn and we let her live, or you pick her and we shall kill her." The door opened and there was Susan Potter tied to a chair but ropes and her mouth was shut too.
"You sick bastard," Draco roared at his father.
"No, you're the sick bastard, what the hell do you want with this Potter? She getting any from her?"
"Fuck off!"
"Lucius?" Sharon Lewis's head was in their fireplace, "We need to talk, bring Draco also. I need to get a hold of the Crabbes. Join us all in Autumn's room."
"Be there in a few, Sharon." There was a *Pop* and Sharon's head wasn't in the fireplace any more. "You heard, let's go."
"Never, I told you I'm not joining!"
"You won't go? You say?" Lucius turned to Susan, "Crucio!" Screams erupted from the tape that was holding down Susan's mouth.
"Leave her alone?!" Draco roared.
"One condition, you won't mess with her again. Whatever is going on with you two stops here."
Draco turned his head to Susan, through all of her screams he could tell she had no clue what was going on, but she looked utterly helpless. She opened her brilliant green eyes that usually shine every time she sees Draco, but they were dull with no feeling and tears running down. He couldn't let this happen to her. "Fine," Draco sighed knowing he had to protect her.
Lucius smiled at his triumph, Cat release her and send her back to the nasty Mud-blood she lives with. "Tell her if she wants to live, she'll stay away from Draco." Catarina sighed, but agreed.
"Come on my boy," Lucius apparated and Draco walked over to the fireplace to Floo to Autumn's bedroom.
"I tried to warn you," Cat sighed.
"Shut the hell up, Cat. You're only nice, because you are carrying father's child. Trust me, he'll kill you later." Draco Flooed to the destination that he was to be at.

"Ready, Harry?" Sirius asked his godson, we better be off.
"Sirius?" Came a voice from the fireplace, it was Dumbledore.
"Albus! We were about to drop Harry to you." Sirius said in his high spirits.
"I have a lot of bad news for all of you, I need all of you to come here you."
"What's wrong, Albus?" Arabella said worried, rubbing her stomach.
"The Floo Network is being watch, I need you to come here. David is with Adora, correct?"
"Yes."
"Then I need you here now," They all nodded and were soon in his office.
"Albus, you look very grave." Anthony noted.
"Yes, there are very grave issues we need to discuss. Bella, Sirius the boy is yours."
"What are you saying Albus?" Arabella asked already knowing.
"They've found Cho's body. She was in fact killed, our sources say that since little David slipped out of their reaches, Voldemort told Autumn that Cho would be her first kill. So as we discussed before, you two will be little David's guardians. Whenever you think the best time to tell David about his parents, is your decision. I need you to sign these papers to make you his legal guardians. Next, Anthony and Sirius you have a rescue mission, you need to get on a.s.a.p."
"Who is it now?" Anthony asked since Sirius was signing the guardianship paper.
"This may come to a shock to all of you, but Susan has been kidnapped by Malfoy."
"I knew it!" Harry yelled, "I told her to stay away from that damned bouncing ferret!"
"No, Harry. It wasn't Draco, it was Lucius."
"We're on it, come on Anthony. Let's go get her. Should we be concerned about Draco?"
"No, Sirius. Draco is not taking his father's foot steps in the Death Eaters, he has returned my letter and will join The Order, for the Slytherin house."
"I figured he'd change his ways, "Anthony said.
"Now, Bella and Harry. Bella you need to go and attended your appointment. Harry when you arrive at St. Mungo's with Arabella, you might want to sit down with Bridget, Oliver Wood, and Colin Creevey. Ginny collapsed in Diagon Alley, and none have them have found out what is going on. I have contacted the Weasleys, they should arrive around the same time you do."
"What happened to her?!" Harry asked concerned about the only girl he ever loved.
"Harry that we do not know yet. You don't have to go check on her and see how she is doing, since the two of you aren't."
"I don't give a damn, I have to see her. I never wanted to end things with me, she doesn't understand that I'm trying to protect her from Voldemort. She thinks I just want girls to fawn all over me because I am the damned Boy-Who-Lived."
"Dumbledore, I have to make my appointment."
"Go ahead, Bella. I need to talk to Harry." She nodded and Flooed to St. Mungo's. "Harry, do you care for her?"
"More than anything."
"But, you've broken up with her."
"To protect her."
"Harry, have you ever considered, that she doesn't want to be protected. That all she wants is you?"
"But, Professor. You said the Prophecy said that I had to defeat him."
"Yes, Harry the prophecy said that. Yes, you have to destroy Voldemort. But, is that all you want gone? What about Autumn? Autumn's un-born child? They have Slytherin blood and they will also try to destroy the Gryffindor blood line, and they will want to kill you, your children, Adora, Adora's children, Susan and her children, and last but not least Bridget and her children. Harry obviously you haven't dissected this prophecy well, and the one that Cassandra prophesied many years ago. If you are to defeat Voldemort, you must be with Ginny, Ginny's love strengthens you. If you try to defeat Voldemort without Ginny or her love, Voldemort will indeed defeat you. Then the entire Wizarding World will fall in and Voldemort will rule the entire Wizarding World. You need Ginny, as much as she needs you. Whether your with her or not, she is still a threat to Voldemort. Whether you two are together or not, he will make attacks on her to kill her before the two of you can get back together. You really need to think this out. Either not be with Ginny and jeopardize the time you could have with her and lose her. Or get back with Ginny and live your life to the fullest. I know Moony, Padfoot, and Prongs would all agree with me. Lily too. So you can either go to the safe house where all the Order trainees are at right now, or you could go and wait at the hospital for her and then go back to the safe house. It's up to you. So what will it be, Mr. Potter?"
"I'll go to the hospital for a little while."
"Good choice, it is now a quarter after three. Be back at the Safe house at 8. Meet Mr. Draco Malfoy at the Leaky Cauldron at seven fifty. See you soon, Mr. Potter." Harry nodded and made his way to the Fireplace.

"Miss Evans, how nice to see you again." A nurse at the reception stand greeted Arabella. "Your doctor is waiting for you in the examining room. I believe you know where that is. How's the Minister?"
Arabella smiled, "He's doing great. Really busy on The War. As a matter of fact I haven't seen him in a good few weeks, had to go on some secret mission in Greece." The nurse nodded and went back to her work.
Before the children had come back from school, Arabella had a conversation with Albus about Sirius and him becoming the Minister of Magic during the war on Good vs. Evil.
*Flashback*
"You needed me Albus? Is there something wrong with the children?" Bella asked worried about them all.
"No, no. My dear, just sit down we need to talk." Arabella sat down as she was told and listened to her former Headmaster and mentor. "As we both know Sirius beat Fudge by a gigantic win in the Minister Elections. As you are carrying Sirius's child and about to be come Mrs. Black, or Mrs. Minister of Magic. There are some precautions you will need to take and be ready for, expecially with Voldemort trying to take over the entire Wizarding World. As we both are aware, he will be gone a lot on business trips and missions for the Order, you and I need to talk."
"Okay, Albus I'm all ears."
"Good. Whenever Sirius is not around, when he is on a mission or business trip, do not tell anyone exactly where he is, except members of the Order, who probably already know. People will always know when Sirius is out of town, but never tell them exactly where he is at. Act like you don't know anything about where he is at, as if you two do not talk about these things. This is not only for your safety, and the baby to come; but also for all of the children that will be living with you. Do you understand, Arabella?"
"Yes, Albus. Is that all?"
"Yes, and good-luck."
*End of Flashback*
"Hello, Miss Evans." Arabella's doctor came in with a big grin on her face. "How is baby and mother doing?"
"We're both fine, thank you."
"How's daddy?"
"He's good, too."
"I expected him to be here today. I did inform you that today we will be able to tell you what your going to have right?"
"Right."
"Did you tell him, Miss Evans?"
"Yes, I did. But, he couldn't make it. Busy on a business trip."
"Oh, really? Where is he at this time?"
"Oh, I'm not really sure. Real confidential stuff, but I think he might of said somewhere in Greece?"
"Greece? Oh, that is a lovely place. Well, enough about you fiancée, and now let's see what you will be having." The doctor began to do all kinds of test that involved her wand and Arabella breathing a certain way. Exhaling or Inhaling. After about forty-five minutes the doctor finally said, "Your baby and you are very healthy, ready to find out if your having a boy or a girl?"
"Yes!" Arabella said smiling, ready to know about her baby. So that Sirius and she could start thinking of baby names.

"Bridget!" Mrs. Weasley's voice was heard. "We just got news from Dumbledore, how is she?"
"I'm not sure Mr. and Mrs. Weasley, this nurse right here was about to tell me."
"Okay, well we have found that Miss Weasley...."
"Bridget!" Harry's voice was coming down the hallway this time.
"For god's sake, will people quit calling my name! I'd like to find out what in the hell is wrong with my best friend! Do you mind!" Bridget roared turning to her older brother. "Oh. What are you doing here?"
"I had to see if she was alright," Harry told his younger sister as if this was obvious.
"Why?"
"Dumbledore informed me of what happened, I have a right to know, also."
"Not really."
"Bridget what are you getting at?"
"You shouldn't be here."
"Why the hell not?"
"You two aren't an item anymore, I doubt she wants to see you. You've really upset her. So I can't see how my fiancée is?"
"Fiancée? What the hell are you talking about you broke up with her."
"To save her from Voldemort."
"Dang, Harry. Your daft."
"I've heard."
"Ahem," The nurse cleared her throat so they'd remember that she was still there with Ginny's reports.
"Oh, sorry, ma'am. Please tell us how she is doing."
"She was unconscious. We found a drug that the Death Eaters have been making and putting in food in Diagon Alley, they call it "Dee." Have you seen any Death Eaters today, or some possible Death Eaters?"
"Yes, when we got ice cream today, Vincent Crabbe. Same year as Harry."
"I'll kill the bastard."
"Shh, the woman is trying to talk." Bridget jammed her elbow into her brother's ribs, Oliver chuckled at them.
"We finally stabilized her, but she has hardly any memory. This is one of the side effects we have found from other patients that have had, "Dee" slipped to them. She knows her name, and she keeps asking for Bridget, I'm assuming that's you?" The nurse asked Bridget.
"Yes, we are best friends. Your Harry Potter, her ex, right?" Harry nodded, "I don't think it would be wise for you to see her."
"Why the hell not?"
"She might remember you and it might upset her."
"My godfather, owns this hospital, and I will go see Ginny if I want to." Harry roared, he couldn't believe this woman.
"Fine, whatever. You're her parents? You can all go in now."
They followed the nurse to Ginny's room, and they all gathered around her bed.
"Hello, Ginny."
"Hey Bridget," Ginny looked around the room. "Who are all these people?"
Mrs. Weasley sighed and tears streamed down her face, Mr. Weasley pulled his wife toward him. "Well, "Bridget started. "This is your mum and dad, that's Oliver Wood, he helped me get you to the hospital. He plays Quidditch for England, this is Harry, and you remember Harry don't you?"
Ginny looked right into Harry's brilliant green eyes, which usually made her melt, but she just smiled at him. "No, he's really good looking...but I don't recognize him. Colin!" Ginny shouted seeing her best guy-friend.
"You remember Colin, but not me?" Harry asked really hurt. Harry noticed that she had the diamond clip he'd given her.
"Sorry I don't remember you, but aren't Colin and me supposed to get married?" Everyone gasped, her memory really was messed up.
"Uh, no Ginny." Colin spoke up, "Don't you remember? I'm gay?"
Chapter 13
"So how long have you known Ginny?" Oliver asked Bridget trying to start conversation. "I don't remember you going to Hogwarts when I did."
"I was there, but I like to keep to myself. I don't really like making friends, apart from the ones I already have. The only reason you knew Ginny was, because of all her older brothers."
"True, but I knew Harry and I didn't know Susan or you."
"Yes, but Susan, Harry, and I didn't know we were related until last school year."
"Oh, sorry. I wished I'd have met you before, you're a beautiful girl."
"Please stop," Bridget said starting to feel like shit, she thought this guy actually liked her.
"What did I do to offend you?"
"You lied to me."
"No, I didn't, Bridget. I swear I think you're beautiful. Please trust me, you're not the trusting type. I really like you, but can we like be friends and do stuff together?" Bridget started cracking up laughing and Oliver had no clue what she was laughing about. "What's so funny? Did I say something funny?"
Bridget shook her head no, "I just think it's kind of weird to be getting hit on in at the Emergency Waiting Room at St. Mungo's, it's one I'll have to tell my grandkids.

"What do you mean, by door number one?" Draco asked his father wanting to know what he was talking about, but then again he was afraid of what his father had been plotting again.
"Well, well, well. Touchy aren't we?" Lucius laughed.
"You're disgusting!" Draco yelled at his father, "That's really disgusting you know? Love to see your son squabble?"
"No, I don't. But, I will make you squabble when you take this piece of trash against all I have teached you? Cat, open the door. Now, you either pick Autumn and we let her live, or you pick her and we shall kill her." The door opened and there was Susan Potter tied to a chair but ropes and her mouth was shut too.
"You sick bastard," Draco roared at his father.
"No, you're the sick bastard, what the hell do you want with this Potter? She getting any from her?"

"Ready, Harry?" Sirius asked his godson, we better be off.

"Albus! We were about to drop Harry to you." Sirius said in his high spirits.
"I have a lot of bad news for all of you, I need all of you to come here you."
"What's wrong, Albus?" Arabella said worried, rubbing her stomach.

"Miss Evans, how nice to see you again." A nurse at the reception stand greeted Arabella. "Your doctor is waiting for you in the examining room. I believe you know where that is. How's the Minister?"
Arabella smiled, "He's doing great. Really busy on The War. As a matter of fact I haven't seen him in a good few weeks, had to go on some secret mission in Greece." The nurse nodded and went back to her work.
Before the children had come back from school, Arabella had a conversation with Albus about Sirius and him becoming the Minister of Magic during the war on Good vs. Evil.
*Flashback*
"You needed me Albus? Is there something wrong with the children?" Bella asked worried about them all.
"No, no. My dear, just sit down we need to talk." Arabella sat down as she was told and listened to her former Headmaster and mentor. "As we both know Sirius beat Fudge by a gigantic win in the Minister Elections. As you are carrying Sirius's child and about to be come Mrs. Black, or Mrs. Minister of Magic. There are some precautions you will need to take and be ready for, expecially with Voldemort trying to take over the entire Wizarding World. As we both are aware, he will be gone a lot on business trips and missions for the Order, you and I need to talk."
"Okay, Albus I'm all ears."
"Good. Whenever Sirius is not around, when he is on a mission or business trip, do not tell anyone exactly where he is, except members of the Order, who probably already know. People will always know when Sirius is out of town, but never tell them exactly where he is at. Act like you don't know anything about where he is at, as if you two do not talk about these things. This is not only for your safety, and the baby to come; but also for all of the children that will be living with you. Do you understand, Arabella?"
"Yes, Albus. Is that all?"
"Yes, and good-luck."
*End of Flashback*
"Hello, Miss Evans." Arabella's doctor came in with a big grin on her face. "How is baby and mother doing?"
"We're both fine, thank you."
"How's daddy?"
"He's good, too."
"I expected him to be here today. I did inform you that today we will be able to tell you what your going to have right?"
"Right."
"Did you tell him, Miss Evans?"
"Yes, I did. But, he couldn't make it. Busy on a business trip."
"Oh, really? Where is he at this time?"
"Oh, I'm not really sure. Real confidential stuff, but I think he might of said somewhere in Greece?"
"Greece? Oh, that is a lovely place. Well, enough about you fiancée, and now let's see what you will be having." The doctor began to do all kinds of test that involved her wand and Arabella breathing a certain way. Exhaling or Inhaling. After about forty-five minutes the doctor finally said, "Your baby and you are very healthy, ready to find out if your having a boy or a girl?"
"Yes!" Arabella said smiling, ready to know about her baby. So that Sirius and she could start thinking of baby names.

"Bridget!" Mrs. Weasley's voice was heard. "We just got news from Dumbledore, how is she?"
"I'm not sure Mr. and Mrs. Weasley, this nurse right here was about to tell me."
"Okay, well we have found that Miss Weasley...."
"Bridget!" Harry's voice was coming down the hallway this time.
"For god's sake, will people quit calling my name! I'd like to find out what in the hell is wrong with my best friend! Do you mind!" Bridget roared turning to her older brother. "Oh. What are you doing here?"
"I had to see if she was alright," Harry told his younger sister as if this was obvious.
"Why?"
"Dumbledore informed me of what happened, I have a right to know, also."
"Not really."
"Bridget what are you getting at?"
"You shouldn't be here."
"Why the hell not?"
"You two aren't an item anymore, I doubt she wants to see you. You've really upset her. So I can't see how my fiancée is?"
"Fiancée? What the hell are you talking about you broke up with her."
"To save her from Voldemort."
"Dang, Harry. Your daft."
"I've heard."
"Ahem," The nurse cleared her throat so they'd remember that she was still there with Ginny's reports.
"Oh, sorry, ma'am. Please tell us how she is doing."
"She was unconscious. We found a drug that the Death Eaters have been making and putting in food in Diagon Alley, they call it "Dee." Have you seen any Death Eaters today, or some possible Death Eaters?"
"Yes, when we got ice cream today, Vincent Crabbe. Same year as Harry."
"I'll kill the bastard."
"Shh, the woman is trying to talk." Bridget jammed her elbow into her brother's ribs, Oliver chuckled at them.
"We finally stabilized her, but she has hardly any memory. This is one of the side effects we have found from other patients that have had, "Dee" slipped to them. She knows her name, and she keeps asking for Bridget, I'm assuming that's you?" The nurse asked Bridget.
"Yes, we are best friends. Your Harry Potter, her ex, right?" Harry nodded, "I don't think it would be wise for you to see her."
"Why the hell not?"
"She might remember you and it might upset her."
"My godfather, owns this hospital, and I will go see Ginny if I want to." Harry roared, he couldn't believe this woman.
"Fine, whatever. You're her parents? You can all go in now."
They followed the nurse to Ginny's room, and they all gathered around her bed.
"Hello, Ginny."
"Hey Bridget," Ginny looked around the room. "Who are all these people?"
Mrs. Weasley sighed and tears streamed down her face, Mr. Weasley pulled his wife toward him. "Well, "Bridget started. "This is your mum and dad, that's Oliver Wood, he helped me get you to the hospital. He plays Quidditch for England, this is Harry, and you remember Harry don't you?"
Ginny looked right into Harry's brilliant green eyes, which usually made her melt, but she just smiled at him. "No, he's really good looking...but I don't recognize him. Colin!" Ginny shouted seeing her best guy-friend.
"You remember Colin, but not me?" Harry asked really hurt. Harry noticed that she had the diamond clip he'd given her.
"Sorry I don't remember you, but aren't Colin and me supposed to get married?" Everyone gasped, her memory really was messed up.
"Uh, no Ginny." Colin spoke up, "Don't you remember? I'm gay?"
