Ginny is now 5 months pregnant. She heads to the Gryffindor Common Room to talk – try to talk – to Ron. He hasn't been talking to her since the 'baby' news.
"Ron," Ginny said. "You in here?" He was. But he didn't answer. He was sitting on the easy chair next to the fire working on – copying – charms homework with Harry and Hermione.
"Hey, Ginny." Harry and Hermione said.
"Hey you two. If is ok if I can talk to Ron, alone?"
"Oh, sure." Hermione said. "Harry and I will be in the library, if you need us." Harry and Hermione collected their things and walked out of the Gryffindor Common Room.
"Ron," Ginny started. "Please talk to me."
"Can't. Doing homework." Ron said without even looking up.
"Ron, please!" Ginny took Ron's hand and planted it on her stomach. Just then, a baby kicked. Ron pulled his hand away, quickly.
"Don't you EVER do that again!" Ron said.
"Ron, please. You have to accept that I'm having these babies. You must understand!"
"Understand what? Understand that you slept with Malfoy and THIS happened?" Ton said pointing at Ginny's stomach.
"If you put it that way, yes."
"It had to be him, didn't it!" Ron started to yell.
"Ron, stop yelling! You've been giving me a lot of stress lately! And that's not good for the babies!"
"That not my fault!"
"Ron – ah!" Ginny held her stomach in pain.
"What? What's the matter?" Ron's voice turned from anger to concern.
"Oh, god, that hurts!"
"What? What hurts?"
"I think – I think I'm having contractions!"
"Contractions? What contractions! It's not 9 months yet!"
"Oh! Ron! You are not helping! Just – just take me to the hospital wing!"
Ron took Ginny to the hospital wing. He sat her on a bed.
"Here," Madam Pamfery said. "Take this. It will help."
"Ok." Ginny drank the potion and fell straight to sleep.
"What did you give her?" Ron asked.
"A Sleeping Potion."
"Why?" Hermione asked as her, Harry and Malfoy entered the Hospital Wing.
"How did you know - " Ron started to ask.
"Dumbledore." Harry said.
"Of course. Does he know everything?" Ron said and Harry nodded.
"Why did you give her a sleeping potion?" Hermione asked Madam Pamfery again.
"Because I have no clue what to do. I usually send pregnant women to a muggle hospital. They usually know what to do."
"Oh."
"So, when she wakes up, you can take her. Does anyone know how to talk to muggles?"
"I do." Hermione said. "My parents are muggles."
"Ok, I'll sign you two out. You will leave early tomorrow morning and I will have someone some and get you in a month or two."
"Thanks."
Ginny started flipping from her back onto her left side. Malfoy spoke up and said, "Can I go with them?"
"Of course! You're the father! You must be there at the birth!" M.P said.
"What about me and Ron?" Harry asked.
"You two best stay here so it doesn't cause too much commotion. Remember, DON'T TELL ANYONE!" M.P. said.
"Can I stay here with Ginny tonight?" Malfoy asked.
"Yes, you may." M.P. said.
"Thanks." Malfoy blushed.
For the first time, in what seemed like forever, they all sat down to rest. At 9:00, Hermione, Ron and Harry left. They all got a special extension on curfew from M.P. If Snape or Flitch catches them, they will just show them their passes. Malfoy sat by Ginny's bed, waiting…just waiting to see what the next day had in store for them. In the middle of thought, Malfoy dosed off.
He was asleep for what seemed – to him – like minutes. But it was really 3:00 am. He was startled awake by the painful screaming of Ginny.
"What's wrong?" Malfoy asked Ginny.
"Contractions!" Ginny screamed.
"On a scale of 1 to 10, what would you say it was?"
"A 40!"
"I'm going to get Madam Pamfery. Hold tight for now." Malfoy kiss Ginny on the forehead and then ran to the right, where M.P.'s office was. He hoped she would be there. Malfoy knocked on the door and five seconds later, M.P. appeared in the doorway, wearing her pink robe with a bottle of green liquid in her hand. They exchanged looks and told on another everything. They both sprinted to Ginny's bed.
"Take this, it will reduce the contraction rate and bring down the pain." M.P. said. Ginny quickly drank it down. M.P. turned quickly to Malfoy.
"Do you know the Gryffindor password?" She asked.
"Yes."
"Go quickly and get Hermione."
"Ok." Malfoy ran to the entrance and looked back quickly before turning again to get Hermione.
M.P. sat stationary, comforting – or at least trying to – Ginny. Ginny was in true agony.
When Malfoy reached the Gryffindor Common Room, he paused for a moment before going up to the Girls' Dormitories, knowing full well he wasn't supposed to. He thought of Ginny and urged himself on. He opened the door and it was all dark. He whispered, "Lumos." And his wand became his flashlight.
He carefully maneuvered around the stuff on the floor and between the beds, looking for Hermione. He found her in the second to last bed by the window. He knelt down, by her bed, and shook her.
"What the - " Hermione screamed.
"Shhhh!" Malfoy whispered, clamping his hand over her mouth. He felt her nod and her let go.
"What are you doing here?" Hermione whispered.
"We have to go to the muggle world…NOW! Ginny's contractions are getting worse. We have to get her to one of those muggle hospitals…and quick!"
"Ok, I'll get my stuff." Hermione said getting out of her bed and grabbing a rob, flinging it over her shoulders. She grabbed the suitcase by the end of her bed and they ran back to the hospital wing (but before they did, Hermione wrote Harry a note explaining everything a left it beside his bed).
"You must leave, now! She can't wait any longer! Check her into the hospital as quickly as you can after you reach the muggle world." M.P. explained giving them a handful of floo powder. Ginny and Malfoy went first and said, "Muggle Hospital" followed by Hermione.
