a/n: I wanted to get this update up soon to make up for lost time!

Draco and Ginny woke simultaneously when Draco's alarm buzzed the beginning of a new day. Ginny pulled away from Draco's arms like they were on fire and rushed to his classroom. A small first year was there waiting, but she paid no heed. Grabbing a handful of vervain from a desk, she threw it into a cauldron full of a boiling clear liquid. Draco recognized the potion immediately, it was the only concoction that was clear if made correctly. The pregnancy potion. Draco's breath caught in his throat as he watched the cauldron. If Ginny was pregnant, it would turn a deep blue, and if she wasn't, the substance would turn a murky white. Ginny took one look at her husband and realized that he recognized the potion.

The two exchanged a worried glance. The cauldron swirled, turning every color of the rainbow before settling on a royal purple. Confused expressions flitted across their faces. Ginny voiced her concerns.

"Purple?"

"What the heck does purple mean?"

"I don't know…"

"Let me check my books. Shelby?" Draco directed this to the first year. "Would you mind waiting outside?" Shelby nodded and left, pulling the door shut behind her. Draco pulled a book from under his desk and leafed through the pages. He settled on interpretation, muttering.

"What does it say?" Ginny asked anxiously.

"Well, green is twins, and pink triplets, so we're lucky there. Ah, purple…" He skimmed the text before reading. "Purple represents the use of a birth control potion that is almost expired and should be renewed immediately. The female may miss one or two…" He trailed off, blushing a pale pink. Ginny smirked.

"Well, good then. Nothing to worry about. I'll stop in Knockturn Alley before we go to my mum's for break to get a new bottle." Draco coughed suddenly.

"Knockturn Alley?"

"It's the only place that sells the stuff that's one hundred percent foolproof." The door cracked open and Draco smirked, not noticing.

"You mean fuc…" Ginny cut him off.

"You better not finish that sentence, mister. First year alert; I sure hope their teacher was about to say fun proof." She joked gently and gave him a quick kiss, causing a couple eleven year olds to cringe. "Bye honey." Ginny whispered.

"Bye, Gin." He smirked as she walked out the door, heading to seventh year Herbology. Ginny strode over the grounds with a confident and relieved air, which quickly vanished when she saw Bridget standing by the entrance to the greenhouses, pacing. There was no way around it. She walked toward her friend, cringing with each step. Bridget looked angry.

"You stood me up, Ginny!" Half screaming, her words bit through the air like a knife.

"I'm so sorry, Bridget! Something really important came up."

"Oh, really! Something that was more important than our friendship?"

"Of course not!" Ginny whimpered.

"Well it better be good then!" Bridget glared at her and Ginny realized she wanted a reason for not showing up. That was bad. Analyzing the situation, Ginny decided that the truth would be best and would eventually lead to discussing her relationship with Draco without too much fuss. Ginny pulled Bridget to the side of the greenhouse for privacy. She didn't care if they were late.

"I thought I was pregnant." One look at Ginny's face showed that she was telling the truth.

"Holy shit, Gin! Are you? I'm gonna shoot Malfoy!"

"I'm not pregnant!" Ginny silenced her with a loud whisper. "Keep it down and don't shoot my husband, okay? I love him!"

"Oh my gosh, you're Mrs. Malfoy! Creepy." Bridget stood in silence for a short while before enveloping Ginny in a hug. "That is so weird!"

"So we're ok?"

"Of course, you little twit! I just wish you'd told me sooner!"

"Sorry!"

"Oh, shut up!"

"Sorry!"

"Ginny, let's just get to Herbology, okay?"

"Okay!" They ran to the greenhouse, laughing as a small shower of raindrops began to fall.

Days before graduation passed quickly, and the new tests at Hogwarts that allowed seventh years to pass the classes began. The Hogwarts CATs tests were now given to all seventh year students. It stood for Comprehension and Applicaion Tests and each student had to pass with at least an 85 on the tests to complete school. The schedule was spread out over one week, leaving students one week to relax before they got their grades and hopefully prepared to graduate. Ginny's schedule was pretty straightforward.

Monday: Advanced Herbology at 10:00 until 1:00

Tuesday: Advanced Potions at 10:00 until 2:00

Wednesday: Level Seven Astronomy at 11:35 P.M.

Thursday: Specialty Transfiguration at 9:00 until 3:00

Friday: Specialty Magical Creature Advanced Class at 8:30 until 4:00 with a short lunch break at noon for each class.

Ginny was hoping to go into a career handling dangerous creatures such as Thestrals for the ministry, or work as a professor at one of the Magical Creature extended learning centers for awhile. Sitting with Draco on his bed the morning of her first test, she pulled her hair out of her eyes with a rubber band.

"So, the Travere Plants only absorb purified mountain water, which makes them difficult to keep and take care of?" She asked to clarify her thoughts.

"Yes, Gin, but calm down. You've been studying for the past week and I think you'll do fine!" Kissing her on the forehead, he rose from the bed. "I have a class in twenty minutes, and you better get to your exam, Gin. Good luck!" Ginny groaned and turned to leave, but Draco grabbed her arm and pulled her into a huge kiss. She sighed happily as the kiss deepened. She pulled away softly.

"I love ya." She whispered.

"I love you, too." He whispered back before kissing her again. "But…he kissed her…you…need…to…relax." Arms slipping around her waist slowly, the kiss finished and they had just pulled apart when the door of the room burst open. McGonagall swept inside with a swish of her cloak and stared with beady eyes at the two of them.

"Well," she coughed. "Just checking on your CAT material, Mr. Malfoy. It all seems to be in order. Mrs…Ginny, you best get to class." Nodding to the two of them, she left.

"She's right." Ginny sighed. "But I will see you later!"

"Okay, Gin. Good Luck!" Ginny smiled as she left.
