Disclaimer: Well, it's kind of obvious, or at least it should be, I own nothing. If I did, Harry and Hermione would be together, Ron would have Lavender, and Draco and Ginny would most definitely be together… and woulda pissed off Ron quite a few times… o yeah, and I would be in Ginny's place *wink*

Warning: Mind you, people, I've never tried real drama. This is the first drama thing that I'm actually having straight drama (and romance). It might seem kinda funny at some points.
Forbidden II: Death Eater?
As we walked through the entrance, a large crowd surrounded us. Lavender ran up to me. She was crying, but any fool could tell she was FURIOUS.
"I knew you were hiding something from me, but this?!" she cried angrily into my face. "Why didn't you tell me? I'm practically your sister! I don't believe you!"
"Lavender," I pleaded, my eyes filling with tears. Gee, I seem to be crying a lot lately. "Please don't say things like that. I promised that I'd tell you when the time was right. I just wasn't ready to."
"You guys, as lovely as this is and as much as I hate to break up the little get-together," Harry began. I glared daggers through his head. "We do NOT have time for this at all. Everyone, there's a Death Eater on the grounds. This is how this whole mess started."
"A Death Eater?" Professor Snape mused.
"Merlin, a Death Eater? Everyone, to your dorms, A.S.A.P. Don't stop until you get there, tell NO passwords to ANYONE!" Professor McGonagall snapped out orders. I could tell she was remembering the time when I was in my second year, everyone else in their third, when Sirius came up disguised as Snuffles, and stole the passwords to the Gryffindor commons and dorms.
"You guys, hurry up!" Hermione cried. "We need to get Ron and Draco to the Hospital Wing, NOW!"
Oh my God, I can't believe that I'd actually forgotten about my brother! He was already mad as a hornet. Oh, and I don't even want to think of what will happen when my other brothers and Mum and Dad find out. I buried my head into my hands. "I'm a dead girl."
"Weasley!" Professor Snape barked. "You need to go see Professor Dumbledore right away, to explain to him what happened. I'll escort you there."
Professor Snape, escorting me? Things are just getting weirder and weirder now… Uh oh.
"Excuse me, Professor!" I ran as quickly as I could to the nearest girls restroom to empty my stomach of its contents. (A/N: sorry, I just can't use the word lavatory in this. I tried, but it doesn't sound right to me) "Oh, ew, I feel like I just ate a slug or something. Bleh." I walked back to Professor Snape.
As we walked up to Professor Dumbledore's office, I noticed Snape glancing at me more and more out of the corner of his eye. I was started to fidget. Honestly, when your opposing house's professor, who also happens to hates your family's guts, glances at you, it's something to be nervous about. Suddenly, he broke into a smirk.
'Mental note to self: NOW I'm freaked out. Creepy.'
"Virginia… or should I say, Ginny, since VIRGINia would be a wrong term, now? Care to share something with dear Professor Snape?" Oh, I would love to slap that smirk off his face and rub all that hair grease he's got on his head into it.
"No, not really," I said as bluntly as I could, relishing the look of soap-in-the-mouth on his face.
Suddenly, we came to a stop. "Here we are," he said coldly. He told the gargoyle the password to Professor Dumbledore's office (bertie bott's) and led me into the room.
"Hello, Virginia," Professor Dumbledore said. He gestured to a bowl "Every flavored bean to satisfy any cravings?"
I swear that I blushed to the roots of my hair. "Um, Professors?" I cleared my throat. "I would really appreciate it if you weren't to tell anyone other than Professor McGonagall and Madam Pomfrey about this."
Professor Dumbledore gave a grandfather-like smile. (Right now I'm really wishing he were my grandfather.) "I can't wait to meet the new addition to Hogwarts. But, right now, we have more important business to attend to. I need you to tell me EXACTLY what has been going on today. Could you do that for me?" I nodded, and began to tell them what had transpired during the day.
When I had finished, it was completely silent. I bent my head and looked at my lap. 'Draco, I will not cry. I will be strong for you, AND the baby, I give you my word. I know that I cannot prevent my crying, but I can try.' Professor Snape looked at me amused.
I looked up. "Is there something interesting, Professor?" Ooh, that's going to get me a detention. No way to help anybody.
"I'll let that one slide as a mood swing. You might not be so lucky in the future." He sneered.
Dumbledore looked me directly in the eyes. "A Death Eater? We must prepare for war, just in case. I will not have what happened today happen ever again. After this, I want you to go see Madam Pomfrey. You are dismissed."
After I went to go see Madam Pomfrey (and check up on Draco, and I found out that Ron had already left, with a minor headache), I headed back to my dorm room. As soon as I stepped through the portrait hole, I was immediately bombarded with people and questions. There was no way to avoid them.
Vulnerability overtook me. Questions such as, 'How could you?' and 'Why didn't you ever tell me?' were most frequent. One thing that stung that I'd heard from a couple of others, though, was 'Traitor.' "And, I'm also now a seventh year." Feminine cheers rose.
"Ginny!" Hermione called. "Come here, we all have a surprise for you." The girls all crowded around me to the 7th year dorm. As I opened the door, I was blinded by soft baby colors and trinkets all around my bed, which had been brought in to a side of the room by the wall.
"Girls… we have about 7 months to go." I saw the crestfallen looks on their faces, and knew they were trying to take my mind off of Draco. "But I LOVE IT!" I squealed.
Lavender came up to me. "I'm so sorry, Ginny. I forgive you. I understand everything now. Plus, I also have something to tell you… I'm going out with Ron." Um, can we insert a jaw drop here?
"Open the closet," one girl ushered, pushing me towards it.
When I turned the handle, the room fell silent. As I opened the door, I caught a glimpse of something that appeared to be silver. Opening it wide, I gasped. Inside, was Draco, in the flesh. I engulfed him into a hug. To the others I whispered, "Thank you so much."
"Ginny, as much as I hate to break up this little party of yours," Draco said, "we need to go down to the Great Hall and tell everyone what Dumbledore told you."
I looked at him. "How do you know?"
"Snape."
I sighed. "Let's go." We led all the others to the Great Hall. It seemed everyone knew there was to be an announcement. We walked to the front by the teachers' table. The student body looked at us expectantly.
Draco looked at me, clasped my hand tightly, and spoke. "The Death Eaters will come. We will lose no one. Prepare for war." The room erupted into complete havoc.

So, did you all like that chapter? I'd appreciate it if you would let me know what you think.
And if you didn't read at the top, I'll say it again: This is my first try at real drama. Never written an all-out romance/drama story before.
