Chapter 38: Pain
Harry turned back to find 7 other Death Eaters blocking his way. With his mind only focused on Ginny, he tried to push through the first group.
"Now where do you think you are off to in such a hurry Potter?" Lucius Malfoy said condescendingly from behind his mask.
"Get out of my way Malfoy!"
"Oh lil' Harry is worried about his red head!"
Harry turned to see Bellatrix walking slowly towards him from the back of the second group. She removed her mask and smiled smugly at him.
"YOU!" Harry hissed at the woman who had taken his godfather away from him. "Where is she?"
"The girl is safe Potter" A cold, high pitched echooed through the halls "but you are not as lucky"
"I'm more resillent then you think Voldemort"
"How dare you speak the Dark Lord's name in such disrespect!" Bellatrix screamed.
"Enough Bellatrix, he is mine! Now Potter, it is time that you face your end" Voldemort said coolly.
Harry arched an eyebrow "You seem confident about this"
Voldemort laughed "Oh but it is your destiny to die at my hands and alone-" he paused as he heard several footsteps.
"I'm afraid Mr Potter is not alone Tom" Professor Dumbledore said.
Dumbledore walking towards the second group of Death Eaters. Behind him stood many Professors, Aurors, Order members and even members of the DA including Ron, Hermione, Remus, Tonks, MacGonagall, Mad-eye Moody, all of the Weasleys, Kingsley, Neville and Luna. The large group seemed to outnumber the Death Eaters 3 to1.
Harry smiled at Voldemort "It looks you are outnumbered"
"You fool! Do you think that I would come here withjust a handful of followers?"
At that moment a huge bang came from the Entrance Hall. A group of Professors and students ran towards the Entrance Hall while the rest stood still with their wands up.
"Tonight, it ends" Dumbledore said.
The pain lasted several moments before it slowly ebbed away then Ginny felt a warm, wet feeling flow down her leg.
"Oh dear!" Madam Pomfrey cried.
"What's wrong?" Colin asked "Merlin Ginny, your stomach!"
Ginny's jeans started to tighten while her t-shirt rose higher up her mid-drift. A small pop was heard as her top button on her jeans came off. She looked up at Madam Pomfrey an a tear ran down her cheek "This can't be happening, it's not time!" She sat down as the pain returned. Ginny stumbled to the stretcher bed that was in the corner of the cell.
"I know Ginny but I don't have my wand or any potions on me to stop it" Madam Pomfrey replied while rubbing Ginny's back. Her voice was starting to sound paniked "Has anyone got a watch?"
"Here Poppy"
Madam Pomfrey turned to face a short man with watery eyes and a pointy nose. Wormtail handed a watch to one the students from between the bars.
"What... do you want...Pettrigrew?" Ginny finally got out as she she struggled through the pain.
"Pettrigrew? Peter Pettrigrew? Is that you?"
"Yes Poppy"
"But you died! The funeral... your finger" Madam Pomfrey stoped, staring unbelievably
"Long story" Wormtail said shamefully "I'm here to make sure the birth is goes to plan"
"Oh" Madam Pomfrey frowned "Are those for Ginny?"
Wormtail nodded as he passed several towels and a blanket to Colin who passed them to Madam Pomfrey. She walked back to Ginny who had laid down and cradled herself into the foetal position.
"How are you feeling Ginny?"
"Oh just peachy thanks for asking, how about you?" Ginny replied sarcastically
"I know sweetie. Look, I need to check how far you are"
"Whatever"
Madam Pomfrey shooed the students away then covering Ginny with a blanket before examining her.
"Oh my!"
"What?" Ginny asked
"Oh dear, you are further ahead then I expected"
"But-" Ginny stopped as another contraction came.
"That was less then 2 minutes Madam Pomfrey" Said a blonde haired third year
"Thank you Laura" Madam Pomfrey turned to Wormtail who was watching carefully "Peter, I need to get her out of here, they are both in trouble. I know you are a follower of You Know Who now but you used to be a good man" she pleaded.
Wormtail looked Madam Pomfrey in the eye then began to pace up and down, muttering "I-, well you see, it's just, I can't..."
"HARRY! I need Harry!" Ginny cried as another contraction hit her
Wormtail stoped pacing and whispered something to himself. He looked at her pensievely then spoke quickly "Ginny, have you slept with Harry since you have been pregnant?"
"What?" Ginny grimaced
Madam Pomfrey nodded at Wormtail in understanding, "Ginny, have you?"
Ginny nodded at Madam Pomfrey as she gritted her teeth. Without a word, Wormtail left the room in a hurry.
