Chapter 4
"Mum, we're back!" Ginny yelled, hanging her coat in the closet as she stepped inside the burrow. Harry was behind her, endulging her with light kisses at the back of her neck.
Molly suddenly appeared from the kitchen. "Oh, that was quick!"
"Yeah...I...well...we have some news to tell you," Ginny said, nervously.
"What is it Ginny? You're not pregnant are you?" Molly asked, curiously.
"Mum! Heavens, no!"
Her mother let out a sigh of relief. All three of them sat down on the oldsquashy couch.
It was Harry who spoke this time. "We're getting married!"
Molly's mouth hung open in surprise. "Oh!"
"Yeah. Isn't it great?" Harry said, grinning madly.
"Of course! Wow! Obviously, I knew it would eventually happen but I never thought it would happen so soon."
"Mum, we've been dating for a year already."
"Right right. Well, congratulations! When are you going totell the girls?" Molly asked.
"When we get home," replied Ginny. Suddenly, a little red-headed girl came bounding down the stairs, full of smiles.
"Mummy! You and Harry are getting married!" Reneé squealed.
"Well, never mind. They already know," Harry muttered.
"Reneé! How many times do I have to tell you. Eavesdropping is not nice. It's rude!" Ginny scolded.
"Oh, don't yell at the girl Gin," Harry said calmly.
Ginny gulped down the rest of her "motherly-anger" and smiled. "Yes we are getting married."
Reneé wrapped her arms around her mother's neck, hugging her tightly.
Just then, another little girl came down the stairs. This time, she was blonde.
"What's going on?" Desireé asked, confused.
"Your mother and I are getting married," Harry answered. Desireé's shocked expression made Ginny slightly frowned.
"Does this mean I have to call you Dad now?" she asked, still holding a straight face.
Ginny scowled at her. "Yes! Can I talk to you girls for a moment?"
She grabbed both of their hands and led them to the empty secluded kitchen. "What's wrong, Dez?"
"Mum, you're getting married!" she said with a frown.
"What's wrong with that?" Reneé defended.
"Yes, what's wrong?"
"You told us you were waiting for Daddy. You said you loved him!" Desireé practically yelled. Ginny looked taken back. For a five-year-old, she was pretty tempermental.
"Ido love your father. But, darling, I've been waiting for six years! He's never come back and he never will," Ginny answered, pained at her own words.Was he ever coming back?
"He WILL come back, Mummy! You said so! You said he was just taking a business vacation!" Desireé yelled, this time through tears. Reneé just stood there, taking all of this in.
Ginny sighed. She told her girls that their biological father wasn't there with them because he was on vacation. And that he would be coming back soon, with lots of presents for them. "Dez, he's not coming back from vacation," she said calmly as possible.
"You promised us, Mum! You promised us we would see him!" Desireé was crying freely now. Reneé, about to join her.
The words hurt Ginny. An empty promise was something she always hated...
Flashback
Ginny walked nervously through the stone cold corridor to the Slytherin common room. The torches against the walls let off a dim glow. Ginny's stomach was all in knots. It felt like butterflies were set free in it.
She reached the portrait that guarded he common room and muttered the password. It immediately swung open. Ignoring the other Slytherins' stairs, she made her way up the stairs and into Draco's room.
She was surprised when she saw him. He was dressed fully in his travelling cloak, with a large trunk by his side.
"Where are you going?" she asked, bluntly. He noticed her presence and sighed.
"Ginny...I...I need to talk to you."
"But first, I have something to tell you."
Draco looked at her curiously. "What?"
Ginny sighed deeply. This was harder than it seemed. "I don't know what your reaction will be but I've been hoping it will be good."
Draco continued to stare at her.
"Draco, I...I...uh...I'm pregnant."
Draco looked at her with an expression of shock mixed with fear. "What! Are you sure?"
"Yes. I've been sick these past three weeks and I've missed my period. I took a test and...well...I'm pregnant."
"Ginny, this is not good."
Ginny frowned. Of course she didn't expect him to leap in happiness but she didn't expect him to regret it. "Why?"
"Ginny, I have something to tell you too."
He touched her shoulders gently and sat her down on the bed next to him.
"What is it?" Ginny asked, half-wanting to know what it was he was going to say and half-not wanting to because she was afraid it was going to be bad.
"You know when I told you my dad was making me do something when I graduate?"
Ginny nodded, gulping down her suspense.
"Well, he's making me become a DeathEater."
Ginny gasped as she put a hand over her mouth in shock. "What! You...Draco...you can't!"
"I know Ginny. I'm not. That's why I'm leaving."
"Leaving!"
Ginny looked into his eyes. They were filled with sadness and regret. "I'm sorry, Ginny. I have to. If I don't join him when I graduate, he'll make me. Hell, he'll kill me if he has to. I...have to hide."
"Where Draco?" she asked, as tears started to fall freely down her face.
"I don't know, exactly. I just have to leave. Before he finds me."
"But Draco! You can't! I'm pregnant! We're going to have a child!"
Draco closed his eyes and inhaled deeply. "That is what makes it so hard. If I don't leave now, I either will have to become a DeathEater or die."
"What am I supposed to do?" she said, through sobs. He pulled her into a tight embrace as she cried into his shoulder.
"Ginny, I want you to wait. Wait for me. I want to have this child as much as you do but I want you to wait until I come back. Can you do that for me? Promise me, Gin."
"I promise."
