"Thanks
Charlie...but I'm...p...p...p...pregnant...," I stuttered
They whole group of people reacted differently
"Oh my
god...," said Mrs. Weasly
"CONGRATS GIN!" yelled
Fred
"Well! Your the first Weasly to get banged up!"
laughed George
"Wow Gin...I'm happy for you," said
Charlie
"Ginny Weasly you're in some deep trouble! But I'm
happy 2," smiled Bill
"Ginny I know that you will be a
wonderful mother to this baby!" smiled Albus
"I agree
with Albus," smiled Mgonagal
"Well I never!" said
Snipe
"Gin...I knew you had something special with Harry...I
guess its his baby," smiled Ron
"Ginny Weasly! I am
disappointed in you!" said Percy
When everyone finished, we
all turned to Dad and looked at him as he looked ready to explode.
"GINNY WEASLY! YOU GET UP THOUSE STAIRS PACK YOUR TRUNK
RIGHT NOW!" yelled Arthur
"DAD!" all the kids
yelled
"ARTHUR!" the adults yelled
"DONT DAD
THIS AND ARTHUR THAT SHES GETTING OUT NOW! NO BANGED UP 16 YEAR OLD
IS STAYING HERE!" yelled Arthur
I ran up the stairs crying
my eyes out. I grabbed my trunk and threw everything I wished to keep
dear to me inside it.
Anything that was Harry's went in and
soon my room was stripped.
I collected a few dirty clothes from
the wash basket and threw those in too.
Soon, every thing I owned
was inside the trunk and I was pulling it out of the door.
There
was the pounding of at least 5 sets of feet as I came towards the
stairs.
Ron, Fred, George, Bill and Charlie came running towards
me.
"Gin stop! You don't have to go anywhere!" said
Ron
"I do," I said quietly
"Gin stop this!"
shouted Fred
"You have to stay here!" said George
I
shook my head and begin to try and carry my trunk but finally, as my
brothers gave in, they levitated my trunk down the stairs.
"Where
will you go Gin," said Ron as he put a silence charm on the
living room to drown out his parent's argument.
"I don't
know," I said quietly
"Gin you aren't going no where
alone," said Fred firmly
He took one hand and George took
the other.
"You can come stay with us!" grinned Fred
They'd finally got a shop in Hogesmaid that year.
"Bro...Bro...You mean that...," I stuttered
Fred
and George nodded and I smiled, pulling them both into a tight hug.
Fred and George put my trunk on the front porch and turned to me. Ron was looking at me in amazement, muttering something about how he couldn't believe I was actually leaving. He wouldn't look me in the eye, though.
"Well... I guess I should go say goodbye to mum and dad and the others." They nodded in agreement.
I walked to the living room where they were all arguing with my dad. They had him cornered, sitting on the couch. I couldn't really hear what they were saying very well because of the silencing charm. As soon as I entered the room, though, the charm broke and loud, angry voices charged at my ears.
"Well..." I said, clearing my throat loudly. Everyone stopped talking and turned to me. Dad sat on the couch, arms folding in front of him, looking angrier and more disappointed then I'd ever seen him. Mum, Bill and Charlie came up to me and hugged me. They all wished me luck and said they'd call and visit all the time.
"You'll come over for dinner tomorrow." My mum told me.
"She will most certainly not." My dad said sternly. My mom mouthed silently to me that I would, despite what he said. Bill and Charlie gave me a hug with a look of... almost pity in their eyes.
As they walked out of the living room I heard Bill say, "First Harry - now this." My heart sank to my feet.
I walked over to my dad as they all left the room. "Dad?" He didn't look at me. "Dad, please."
"Get out." He said. He didn't sound as angry. He sounded upset - disappointed, like.
"Dad..." I croaked. He got up and walked out of the room. I stared after him, gaping. I walked out and Fred and George apparated already with my trunk.
"I'm going to miss you, Gin." Ron said and he gave me a big hug. "Its going to be so different without you here, you know. Dad doesn't know what he's saying. He's going to realize the second you're gone that he's made a mistake. You'll see. You'll be back here before you can say 'Quidditch'." He said, forcing a smile. I knew he didn't believe what he was saying. Neither of us had ever seen dad so angry.
"Sure, Ron." I said. "I'm going to miss you too." And I gave him another hug. "Bye."
Fred and George stepped
up to me and took me by the hands. They summoned the night bus as I
couldn't go by apparition.
I stepped onto the bus and watched
as it drove away.
Ron broke down in sobs.
Just as the house
became almost out of site I saw my Dad looking at me in a way which
said don't ever come back.
I looked back at him for a few
moments before hunching up tightly in a ball to cry.
Fred sat
beside me as I hunched up and put his arms tightly round me.
"It'll
be ok Gin...Your our sister and I promise, we promise, that we wont
let anything happen to you," he whispered
"Hey Gin,
you'll be near Sirus at least," George pointed out
"Yeah...He
was so...happy for me...," I stuttered as I rested my head
against Fred's shoulder.
Slowly I drifted into a restless sleep
as George covered me with a blanket.
"Gin? We're here,"
said George gently shaking me awake
I opened my eyes and groaned.
Fred smiled and helped me up. We stepped off the Knight bus and
into the streets of Hogesmaid.
It wasn't crowded and looking up
at the old castle made me feel restless.
Fred and George led me
down the streets towards a shop.
Weasly Wizard Weezers
"Here
we are," smiled Fred
I nodded and then followed them both
silently inside.
It was still early - around 2:00 - when I finished unpacking. I really didn't want to unpack because I felt like that meant I was staying there for good. Fred and George were great and all, but... it wasn't home. I already missed Mum and Ron and the rest. The thought of Dad was still driving me crazy. By the time it was 4:00, the two of them had to go to work. I decided to stay in the flat they rented that was the next floor up from their shop.
I had just finished reading the rest of Harry's diary that Sirius had given me. Some of the entries were confusing... especially the more recent ones. It was almost as if Harry knew he was going to die. Like this one entry, for example. It was the day after I found out that I was pregnant.
Hi again. I don't know how everyone's going to make it out of this alive. I've just found out that... Ginny's pregnant. I can deal with that, I think. It's my own fault, after all. But... other things are happening. I don't know how this is going to turn out. Some one has to lose... and it might be me.
That was one of his last entries... written about three weeks before he died. I put the book down and decided to try not to think about it too much. The whole thing was driving me crazy.
It was strange really.
A few days ago when I discovered I was pregnant Harry already knew. I
was so scared, so insecure now that I'd be a mother without him.
"Harry...Where are you now?" I whispered
The days
rolled on and even though my mom and Ron begged me to come back I
just shook my head and said not until dads calmed down.
Hogwarts
begins tomorrow and now that I am more nervous than ever I will just
nod my way through. I am going to go up today and explain to
Dumbledore what's going on...
Slowly I pushed open the old doors
of Hogwarts, wiping a few tears away.
My footsteps echoed on the
stone floors as I advanced up each other the stairs.
When I
finally reached the Headmasters office I said the new password, Jelly
Babies, and entered.
I knocked on the door at the top of the
stairs.
"Professor," I said quietly
"Enter,"
he replied
I opened the door, taking a deep breath as I did.
"Hello Professor,"
I said quietly
"Miss Weasly! What a pleasant surprise to see
you here," smiled Dumbledore
"I've been living with
Fred and George," I replied quietly "My Dad threw me out,"
"Oh, Miss Weasly that is a terrible thing," said
Dumbledore his twinkle gone
I nodded and then started to tell him
why I was there.
"Professor...The reason I'm here
is...because...just before Harry died I
became...p...p...p...PREGNANT!"
I burst into tears as I spat
out the last word.
