Chapter 21: Semi naked and Pregnant...
For an hour the Weasley males sat at the table laughing at the different ideas for revenge the twins kept on coming up with. They had all decided that Malfoy was the main offender in this case thus meant he was the one who deserved the harsest punishment. Meanwhile Mrs Weasley and Ginny were in deep discussion on what Ginny had planned once the baby was born.
"Sweeetie you can't look after a baby and try and finish your final year at Hogwarts" Mrs Weasley said
"What else can I do?" Ginny replied coolly
"Let me raise it, at least until you finish school. It's the least I can do"
Ginny shook her head "Mum I know you would do anything for me but I can't expect you to sacrifice yourself for me. And what about the order? They need everyone now more then ever!"
"Well my family comes first"
"Don't be silly mum. Anyway everyone knows Hogwarts is the safest place in our world."
"And that makes it a target. It's not safe nor is it appropiate for someone in your condition-"
"You mean a teenage mother!" Ginny snapped
With that statement everyone turned and looked towards Ginny.
"Oh honey I'm just worried about you and your baby"
"That's right mum, its my baby" Mrs Weasley tried to calm Ginny down but to no avail "This is baby is my responsiblity, no one elses!" Ginny stood up and began to walk out of the room.
"Wait Ginny, I'm sorry that I upset you but-"
"Look mum I need to get out of here. I need to get some air. I think I'll ask Hermione to come with me"
"We do need to talk about this" Mrs Weasley replied
"I know but at the moment I need to clear my mind" Ginny finished and walked back up to her room. She opened the door to find a clearly frustrated Harry being beaten by Hermione at Wizards Chess.
"You know you spend way too much time with Ron. He's starting to rub off on you!" said Harry
"Come off it Harry when Ron and I are alone we don't always play chess" Hermione smirked
"I don't want to know" Harry shook his head.
Ginny laughed at the banter between Harry and Hermione. They both turned toards the door to realise Ginny was standing in the door way. Harry looked at her, frowned then looked back towards the chess board as Hermione leapt up and hugged Ginny tightly.
"Mione...air...needed!" Ginny gasped
Hermione quickly let go and directed Ginny towards her bed to sit down. She looked at Ginny for a moment "So...?" Hermione asked.
Ginny looked at Harry whose arms were folded then back to her friend. She nodded towards Harry's direction then shook her head. She then stood up again and looked at Hermione.
"I was going to go for a walk, you know to get some air. I might even go down to Diagon Alley and do some shopping. Do you want to come?" Ginny asked Hermione
"I'd love to but I have a bit of extra revision I want to get done for my NEWTS." Hermione replied then she looked at Harry, "Why don't you two go together?"
"I doubt if she would want to go with me Hermione"
"Don't be so daft Harry!" Hermione answered
Ginny thought this through. It could give some timeto talk to Harry about her pregnancy. She smiled, "Well how about it Harry? Would you like to come with me and do some shopping?"
"Sure, whatever" Harry mumbled. He mentally jumped up and down at the prospect of spending the afternoon with Ginny.
"Great! I'll get ready!" Ginny smiled as she made her way to the bathroom with a change of clothes. She couldn't help but feel slightly excited but at the same time extremely nervous about being with Harry. Ginny entered the bathroom and closed the door. She removed her daggy t-shirt and tracksuit pants and stood looking at herself in the mirror. Her stomach was still petite considering how far along she was. She rubbed her her belly softly when she heard the bathroom door open to reveal the very last person she wanted to see her semi naked and pregnant.
"HARRY! Don't you ever knock?" Ginny yelled, grabbing a towel to cover herself. Her face started to turn the same colour as her face. Harry looked down at his shoes and smiled, he too was blushing.
"I'm sorry Gin, I thought you were already finished" Harry stated
"Well you thought wrong! Now get out of here while I get dressed!" Ginny replied
Harry turned and closed the door behind him, thinking about the vision of perfection he had just seen.
