Chapter 30
Dearest Draco,
I hope this finds you well. Congrats on making prefect. I've got so news on the baby and knew you'd want to know. Mum preformed the charm and father walked in when mum said what sex the baby was. Father sounded happy actually, really surprised me. Father went home, and mum and I celebrated...Millie walked in on our clebration so she knows too. Father, mum, Millie, me and now you. Draco, we're having a little girl! If you don't mind I'd like to nameher Desdemona Aileen Malfoy, that is if you want her to have your last name. If not then her last name will be Lewis. It's up to you. Mum says hi. I want to nickname our baby Desi, I feel her kicking, not hard though. Maybe you could stop by on Halloween, you-ies," Draco said smiling.
"You know Draco, that might work on big sister her, but not me." Bridget said rolling her eyes playfully.
"Nice one Bridget. Where's Adora?"
"You rang?" Was his aunt's voice behind him. "What's up?"
"Got great news! Read!" He shoved Autumn's letter in Adora's hands.
"Don't need to read it, I already know." Adora turend to Susan and Bridget, "They don't know, let them read."
Adora handed the sisters the letter and Draco gave her a look before he asked her, "How do you know?"
"Draco," Adora laughed. "They won't call me the best Seer since Cassandra Trewlawney for nothing."
Draco rolled his eyes at Adora, and jumped when Susan jumped up to hug him. "A baby girl! Congrats!"
Draco couldn't help but smile, "Thanks babe. I just don't know about the name."
"Yeah," Bridget spoke up. "Desdemona, a little to extravagant isn't it?"
"Yeah a little too extravagant for a baby, but there's no way Autumn will change it. It was her grandmother's name, I'm just glad we'll call her Desi, that's better for a baby to remember. But the middle name Aileen...we'll talke about that. I want to give her my mum's middle name."
"Narcissa would like that," Adora said smiling while looking at her nephew and thinking about how excited, yet dissapointed Narcissa would be. Of course weh'd be dissapointed at first that her sixteen year old son was expecting a baby from a sixteen year old girl that he wasn't even seeing. Plus add the fact that this sixteen year old girl was Voldemort's child and the baby was expected to arrive in a mere four months. Although the thought that Narcissa would have a grandaughter would just tickle her.
"Adora are you alright?" Draco asked her bringing her back to reality.
"Huh? Oh yeah," she giggled. "Ginny?" Adora turned away from Draco. "Have you seen Ron?" Ginny shook her head no. "Guess he's still in Gryffindor Tower, I need to go find him." Adora picked up her bag and left the Great Hall.
Susan watched as Adora ran out as fast as her legs could carry her. "Did I miss something? Did I say something wrong?" Susan heard her boyfriend ask her.
"Whatever Adora's thinking about I think we all missed, as usual." Bridget said sighing and shaking her head. "You never have a clue on what's going on in her head. She knows more about us in our past, present, and future. After all they won't call her the Seer of the Century for nothing."
"Thier calling her that?" Draco asked.
Bridget shook her head no, "Did you just hear what I said, I used future tense. Adora's done hinted it to us a thousand times."
-Meanwhile-
Harry had gotten up, showered, dressed, packed his book bag, and now pocketing his wand. Ron was still asleep and no matter what Harry had tried he just couldn't wake up Ron. Harry had given up, and he went to open the door to his dormitory to head to the Great Hall when Harry ran straight into Adora. "Ahh!" He yelped out of surprise.
"Harry!" She yelled clutching her chest. "I could of sworn you were down in the Great Hall."
Harry shook his head, "Nope. Woke up late. Been trying to wake up this lazy bum." He gestured to Ron.
"Oh yeah," Adora sighed. "Yeah, I came up here to wake him up, I noticed he wasn't down at Breakfast."
"Figured you would," Harry chuckled. "Is Ginny in the Great Hall still?"
"She was when I left. Harry do you mind if I ask you a question?"
"No," he shrugged his shoulders. "Go ahead shoot."
"Are you and Ginny back together again?"
Harry sighed deeply fidgeting with his book bag. "I'll let you know once I do."
"You know Harry that..."
"Adora," Harry held up his hand. "Not now please. I've got too much upstairs." Harry left her speechless, but Adora shrugged this feeling off and turned to her boyfriend's bed destined to wake him up before they were both late for class.
When Harry reached the Great Hall and the Gryffindor Table there was no sign of Ginny, Bridget, or Susan. Harry sighed and looked down at his watch, ten minutes before the first class of term started. Too bad he hadn't been here early enough to get his schedule. Harry sat down in a bad mood and began to scarf down as much food as possible. Hedwig flew in with an envelop for him. Harry gave Hedwig some of his bacon as he didn't have an owl treat on him. She hooted a thanks before taking off again. Harry tore open the letter and began to read a very familiar handwriting.
Dearest Harry,
I couldn't find Ron or you this morning. Adora has Ron's schedule and is finding him at this moment. Professor McGonagall gave me your schedule to give you. I knew Hedwig would be able to find you. Enclosoed with my letter is your schedule, don't be late for your first class back to school. We really need to talk. Meet me at the Quidditch Pitch tonight, thirty minutes after dinner starts.
Ginny
Harry pocketed Ginny's letter in his robes and took out his schedule and began to reawd it. He had Transfiguration first, Harry looked at his watch and if he didn't leave now he'd be late. Harry put a few muffins in his bag so Ron could actually have some breakfast.
Even though Ginny knew she should be listening to all her Professor Binns talking about thier new O.W.L.s classes, she couldn't it wasn't that easy...at all. She was thinking and trying to figure ouit what was to become of herself and Harry. She was too afraid to get back with him at them moment, but last night on the train had been marvelous. It felt so right to be back together. Ginny knew there was no way she'd ever be able to stand to see Harry with another girl. Plus Ginny knew what would become of Harry and herself if they never got back together. She couldn't deal with another man being her husband and the father of her children...that was suppose to be Harry's job. Nor could she stand to watch another woman becom Harry's wife and the mother of his children. Damn it, that was her job and she wouldn't let a soul take it away from her. She had sent Harry a letter early this morning with his schedule, a letter telling him to meet her tonight. They needed to talk, to talk about what was really going on between them.
Another thing bothering Ginny was the happy news Draco had gotten this morning. It had something to do with a vision she had before. In her vision Susan and Draco wre raising a little girl named Desdemona, this child gave Susan and Draco's daughter Lily hell. Of course Desdemona gave the very pregnant Susan at the time hell also, in this vision Susan was expecting a bouncing baby boy. So this demon child, Desdemona that Ginny had seen, was the baby that Autumn was carrying at this very moment. Ginny wanted to warn Draco and Susan so badly about the little girl to come, but she knew better she kenw she wasn't allowed to. The bell rang and class was over, Ginny didn't get any of the History of Magic notes she was suppose to have written down. She'd been too deep in thought.
-In America-
Catarina sat in her Healer's examining room waiting to find out more about her baby. Of course she knew Lucius was indeed alive, which scared her even more. Although, she figured from the beginning that he probably wasn't dead, just faking it. Draco didn't have enough hate in himself for his father to kill him...not yet at least. Catarina knew she'd be safr, for now, here in Amreica under a different name. Cat's hair was no longer blonde, but she had an amber wig on...as you weren't allowed to dye your hair being pregnant...could do stuff to the baby. Catarina had also picked up contacts so her eyes were now a dark brown instead of it's usual ice baby blue. Susan would be writting Catarina once a week to tell her what all Draco and herself had been up to. Draco was once again Prefect and was very busy.
"Leeanna Hartfield?" The American Healer asked her in which Catarina nodded her head yes, this was the name Draco had picked out for her. "Ready for your examination tand to find out the sex of your baby?"
"Yes please!" Cat said with lots of enthusiasium.The healer giggled and began doing the routine checks she was suppose to do. The American Healer began to do many charms and spells above Catarina's belly.
"Ready to hear about the baby, Mrs. Hartfield?" Yes, that's right when Draco had placed Catarina in here, they'd put that she was married. Catarina nodded and the Healer began to speak. "Very healthy, seems to have been kicking a bit lately?"
"Yes," Cat giggled. "Very active. So do you know the sex of my baby yet?"
The American Healer smiled at Cat, "Yes Mrs. Hartfield. Congradulations, you'll be giving birth to a beautiful baby girl around Febuary 14th, so you might want to contact Mr. Hartfield as soon as possible."
"Yeah," Cat smiled. "Mr. Hartfield." The Healer smiled at her and left the room. Catarina began to feel sad and lonely. She wished so badly that she had someone to enjoy the news about the baby with. Of course Draco and Susan would be thrilled to hear, but it wasn't the same. She wished Lucius had actually loved her and they were both hoping and waiting for the baby together.
The door re-opened just as Catarina was done dressing, "Hello Mrs. Hartfield." Came a voice she wished she hadn't heard again. Cat turned around to see him smiling at her. "At leasthe made you look like an honest woman with that name."
"What are youdoing here?" Catarina gasped while clutching her belly and backing up. Fearing her life and the life of her unborn child.
"Well only came to see how my finacee and my baby are doing." Lucius Malfoy said smiling and walking towards her.
"H...how did you find me?"
"Draco hasn't learned to cover up all his finacial tracks yet, but I guess Daddy just needs to teach him. Come here and give me a kiss, love."
"I will not," she said stepping back scared for the baby. "What are you doing here?"
Lucius smiled at her, "Come to make an honest woman out of you."
"I won't marry you Lucius, this isn't what I want."
Lucius looked at her and then smiled, the smile he usually had when he had something up his sleeve. "How would Mrs. Carey feel that her child was carrying a bastard child?"
Catarina's mouth dropped, "You wouldn't!" She hissed.
Lucius laughed at her, "You know I would. Cat, I've wanted you as mine since fifth year and you know it. I wanted you when I was with Narcissa. You got with Chris, married him, and then he was killed before either of you had children and before that brat Potter almost destroyed the Dark Lord. Then when I got Narcissa pregnant we started to fool around, and here we are baby."
"Yes, but mother hated the fact that we were together the whole time. There's no way she'll approve of us together, whether I'm carrying your child or not."
"I believe she'll encourage our marriage."
"What makes you think that?" Catarina asked rolling her eyes.
"I can promise your mum that nothing will happen to you or the baby from the Dark Arts."
Catarina rolled her eyes, "Only because your in the Dark Lord's inner circle."
Lucius got relatively close to her face, "Cat you marry me or I can't promise you'll live after you deliver the baby." He growled at her, "So do you want a nanny to raise our daughter or do you want to raise her? If you're thinking you want to raise her, I suggest you marry me got it? So what's it going to be?"
Catarina felt beaten, "First off her name is Breeanna Katelynn Malfoy, and get it straight. Second, when do we get married?" She sighed. Lucius smiled, took her hand and walked out of the Healer's examining room.
At dinner that night at Hogwarts, Harry noticed Ginny wasn't at Gryffindor table. Harry turned to Bridget to see if she knew where Ginny was. "Bridget?"
"Yeah, what's up Harry?"
"Have you seen Ginny?"
"Yeah, she said she had something to do and was going to skip dinner. I figured I'd bring her some dinner up to the Common Room. Why do you ask?"
"Just wondering." Harry looked down at his watch, he had ten minutes until he needed to meet Ginny at the Quidditch Pitch. "Don't worry about it, I'll do it. I need tot alk to her anyway." Harry began getting some food he knew Ginny enjoyed and put some pumkin juice in a flask that Bridget handed to him. "Thanks, Bridget."
Bridget grabbed her brother's arm, "Harry, do me a favor please."
Harry was a little anxious, he didn't want to be late meeting Ginny. "Sure Bridget, anything."
"Try and make it work with Ginny. You two need each other and she adores you."
Harry smiled at his littlest sister, "Trust me Bridget, I want this to work as much as Ginny does. I'm trying my best to get us back together, as soon as I can."
Ginny sat in the stands of the Quidditch Pitch with her cloak on waiting for Hary to show up. Of course she was starving because she'd skipped dinner, but she knew she had to be out here before Harry got out here...she needed to collect all her thoughts. She heard footsteps, and she looked up to see Harry. He climbed the steps of the stands and sat down beside her.
"Hello beautiful," he said smiling and kissed the top of her head. "Been here long?"
"No," she said shaking her head no.
"Good, I didn't want to keep you waiting."
"You didn't, I just wanted to get here a bit early."
"I noticed you weren't at dinner."
"I wasn't all that hungry," Ginny lied.
"Ah," Harry said knowing she was lying. Ginny was always hungry unless she was sick. "But in case you get hungry, I brought you some food from dinner."
Ginny smiled, "Harry you didn't have to, I was just going to go down to the kitchens."
Harry puth is hand on top of Ginny's, she felt butterflies in her stomach again. "I know I didn't have to, but I wanted to." Harry took out the food and flaske of pumkin juice he'd snagged for Ginny and handed it to her. "Eat up."
Ginny took a few bites and then sat down the ham and chesse sandwhich she'd been eating. "Thank you for meeting me tonight."
Harry smiled at her, she was so beautiful. "Ginny, I'd meet you anywhere, anytime." She blushed and he chuckled softly, "You know Ginny I really wanted to talk about us. I mean, early yesterday you kept saying how you hated me and then we started snogging later that day. We talked yesterday. It felt so good for you to le me be actually around you. I would really like it if you'd be mine again."
Ginny placed her hands on her lap, she looked up into his eyes and he saw hope in those chocolate eyes that always took his breath away. "Harry, I would really love for us to get back together...but I'm scared."
Curiosity filled Harry's brilliant green eyes, "Scared? Ginny scared of what?"
"Of what happened last time. Voldemort was able to kidnap me and you broke it off in order to save me, to take care of me. Harry you broke my heart when you did that. I can't go through that pain again."
Harry turned Ginny towards him and rested his forehead on her's, then looked into her eyes. "Ginny, if you give me a second chance, I swear I won't mess it up. We can start all over again."
"From like just boyfriend/girlfriend...take it slow?"
"If that's what you want, then yes. Gin, I just can't live without you and if I see you with another man I think I'd go crazy. So Ginny will you be mine? Will you be my girlfriend?"
Harry looked at Ginny for sometime waiting for her answer. After a little anticipation, she smiled at him and jumped into Harry's lap. "Of course I'll be your girlfriend," she paused and then giggled. "Again." He chuckled with her and sealed thier relationship with a light, sweet kiss.
By dinner the next evening, everyone knew that Ginny and Harry were back together. It was as if they'd never broken up. There was love between them again. Ron was happy to see his little sister and best friend happy again. The thing that the rest of the school didn't understand was why did the three Potter girls look so happy?
Truth was, unknow to the school, that the Potter girls knew that now with Ginny and Harry back together good would triumph over evil, instead of the other way now. Everything seemed to be going well, until two days later.
At dinner an owl cam in, odd thing to do as owl's only were allowed in the Great Hall at Breakfast. A large eagle owl stopped in front of Susan and dropped the letter. The entire school was watching her, of co urse she turned as red as her roots. She opened the letter and began to read.
My dearest Susan and Draco,
I have news for you both. The baby andf I are healthy. I found out I'm having a little girl. I want her name to be Breeanna Katelynn Malfoy. She's doing very well, and very healthy. She loves to kick her mummy. Susan please stay near your family and Draco, I am near Death Eaters and Voldemort again. Yes Lucius has found me, and forced me to be his wife. I am afraid of what he'll try to force my daughter to be. Please take care, the both of you. Draco, I suggest you talk to that someone...you know who I'm talking about. Times are getting tough. I can not say anymore than that. Take care. I love you both.
Catarina and Bree
Susan re-read the lettera nd began to sob desperatly. She held the letter in her hands and ran out of the Great Hall. Draco saw her leave, he knew something wasn't right...something had happened to Catarina, and Draco ran after Susan.
