Ginny was sitting on the steps to the castle, biting her lip and folding her arms. She was better now, or at least she hoped she was; some days the pain in her stomach returned, but they assured her that she was fine. She was watching some of the students throw around a Quaffle when someone tapped her on the shoulder. It took her a moment to see who it was, for the sun was in here eyes. It was Ron.

"What? Come to nag at me some more?" She looked back at the other students.

"No...I just want to say I'm sorry. I'm sorry for how I've treated you the past several months. I know you have a lot to deal with and...well..I'm sorry."

Ginny's eyes never strayed from the students, she only said, "Okay." He walked away somberly. She took a deep breath, and a single tear rolled down her face.

She stood on the steps, her face turning pink now, "Where are you, Draco? Where are you when I need you?" tears continued to stream down her cheeks and she walked back to Gryffindor Tower

"Draco, Draco, Draco..." A hooded man, or creature, was pacing back and forth before Draco Malfoy, in a place surrounded by trees and shrubbery. "From what your father tells me, you do not agree with our little...plan for your child."

"No I don't. I will not have a son of mine turn to the side of evil for refuge." Draco stated firmly, his eyes as cold as those eyes who returned their gaze.

"Of course you will go along with the plan though...you have no choice." The hooded figure muttered something and suddenly Draco was not himself any longer. It was as though two spirits were playing tug-of-war and his body was the rope. As sudden as the jerking started, it ended, with Draco no longer himself at all.

A few days later, Draco was found unconscious just outside Hagrid's Hut, no one knows how he got there, but once he came to, people were in for a shock of their lives. Draco stomped through to the Great Hall, and spotted Ginny. He took her by the arm, and without question he practically dragged her out into the Entrance Hall.

"Draco! What are you doing!" she scolded, "Were you trying to hurt me?" she whispered, somewhat shocked at what words her voice had said.

"Shut up, you stupid whore. You listen here, and listen good. I have a message from Voldemort. He says you better keep a watchful eye on that child of yours or you're going to find it, and me, dead." Ginny was shocked by him. Stunned. Before she could completely recuperate and react, Draco was flung backwards onto the stone floor as if he had been pulled down. Immediately, blood came in a slow, soupy stream that flowed beneath the cracks. Draco's eyes were still open but were black as night.

The only thing Ginny was able to do was scream.

The Hospital Wing again. She found out that Draco wasn't really the one who said those things. He was possessed by the Bloody Baron. Draco would recover fine from his injuries, but mentally, he would probably never recover. After that incident he seemed distant from Ginny, like he knew something she didn't, but she was too scared to find out what.

One day, Draco was sitting beside Ginny at the lake, when she finally confronted him about it.

"Draco, I know something's up. You're not telling me something." Ginny looked into his eyes, "Please, tell me."

Draco looked at her, a layer of sadness in his eyes. He held her hand tightly as he spoke, "Forgive me, Ginny. Forgive me, from what I caused you." Ginny was about to speak again, but he shushed her, "Please, hear me out before you say anything..." he paused, took a breath, then spoke again, "Our child, was planned...the Dark Lord and my father set me up...and you I suppose-I am deeply sorry...the child...something about the dark lord..." this is when he broke down in tears.

Ginny rubbed his back, tears forming in her eyes as well, "You shouldn't be sorry. It's not your fault..."
"Ginny! It is! I did this to you...if I didn't, then none of this would have happened..."

"None of it including I wouldn't love you. I love you so much, and I accept you for who you are, not who everyone sees...Some may see it as a curse. Something horrible. But I see it as...a test. A test to see how strong we can be so we can get through this..." she kissed his cheek, and looked in his tear stained eyes.

"You do know I love you, Ginevra, right?" Draco said, completely losing himself. He grabbed the small of her back, and kissed her passionately. She reacted by letting him search her mouth with his tongue. They were releasing the anger, love, and emotions they felt inside. Ginny suddenly pulled away and looked at him. She looked uncomfortable, and scared. She looked as though she was going to burst into tears again.

"My...my...water broke..."
