Chapter 6: Unwelcome Visitor

Georgie had stayed late after physio with Ginny, and so Harry offered to drive her home, so that she would not have to walk home in the dark. Ginny insisted that she would be fine and could be left alone for ten minutes whilst he dropped Georgie off. Finally Harry agreed and allowed her to stay while he took Georgie home.

Once Harry was gone Ginny began to pack the dishwasher after dinner. A few minutes later she heard the door open and close, as someone entered and began walking toward the kitchen.

"Harry, back so soon? You surely were driving to fast, it's no good hurrying back to me if you never make it…" Ginny chattered, but Harry did not reply, she turned around only to find it was not Harry standing in her kitchen, but Darren.

"Don't looked so shocked Gin did you really think I wouldn't find you?"

"Wh- what are you doing here?"

"I could ask you the same thing now, couldn't I?"

"Get out Darren you are no longer a part of my life!"

Darren slammed his fist on the table, instinctively Ginny wheeled back. "What's this? The bitch is on wheels now?" he laughed cruelly.

At Darren's obvious hostility Ginny unconsciously covered her stomach, seeing this Darren immediately stopped laughing and circled the bench to where Ginny was starting to cower.

"Is the little bastard mine?"

"No!" Ginny screamed in defiance, not really wanting to admit the truth.

Darren backhanded her, the wheelchair toppled over and Ginny fell to the floor. "So you were slutting yourself around!"

"No-"

"I loved you Gin, but you just kept trying my patience. I had to make you learn!" Darren picked up a knife from the bench as he moved toward Ginny. "I've always been there for you Gin, always. When you were this innocent little thing, with nothing and no one I took you in and I loved you! But you had to learn, you were a bad wife, you had to learn. So I taught you!"

"People don't learn through being beaten!"

In his anger Darren struck out with the knife in his hand, luckily Ginny moved just in time and the knife only scraped down one cheekbone. Clutching the gash on her cheek, Ginny struggled to escape Darren, pulling herself along with one arm. She backed herself into a corner, desperately searching for an escape route; it was then she saw him, slowly walking up behind Darren.

"I was always there for you!" screamed Darren still ranting.

Suddenly Darren felt himself being lifted and slammed into a wall. "Always there for her were you? Well guess what? Now it's my turn!" Harry punched Darren square in the nose; Darren slumped to the floor unconscious. Leaving Darren in a heap on the floor Harry rushed to Ginny's side; pulling her into his lap as he checked that she was ok. It seemed that apart from the cut on her cheek there was no other damage, he righted her chair and helped her back into it before calling both the police and Georgie.

Within the hour Darren had been taken into custody and the police were going about pressing charges, assault, unlawful entry and attempted murder; Darren was going away for a long time. Georgie arrived minutes after the police, she patched Ginny up and gave her a check over, to ensure there was no more damage, especially to the baby after her fall. Certain that there was no unseen damage Georgie told Ginny she was to get plenty of sleep to recover from the shock of the evening, she then hurried home to finish the bedtime story she had promised her little girl.

Although tempted to get Hermione in to check that both Ginny and the baby were fine using the more precise diagnosis of magic Harry decided to follow Georgie's advice and take Ginny straight to bed, she needed sleep. He carried her up the stairs and put her into bed, then as he turned to leave she called out to him in a quiet voice. "Please don't leave me." She said almost fearfully as though afraid that every shadow was out to get her.

Harry waked over to the other side of the bed and slid under the covers next to her. "I'm not going anywhere," he whispered, placing a hand on her stomach. "Not ever."

Sorry it's so short but i thought it worked that way.
