Chapter Nine: Surprises Don't Only Come in Boxes, but in Bundles Too
Two months ago, Molly Weasley left her family pregnant and she wasn't in the most abiding state. A profuse amount of family members, along with Dumbledore, were getting anxious. Arthur guessed that she had been about five to seven months pregnant prior to her episode. Word had gotten around at the Ministry and everywhere else.
Dumbledore's threat had somewhat postponed the student body's gossiping, but kids will be kids. They soon found out that their headmaster wasn't going to follow through with his threat so they had taunted the youngest Weasley.
People in Ginny's own house ridiculed her more than usual; especially Pansy and her posse. "Oh look, there goes the daughter of a slut walking." They would say. Even though it was low blow, Draco and Blaise would get very angry.
Draco, Blaise, Dumbledore and her family thought that after a week or two, Ginny would realize that what happened to her family wasn't a dream and it had occurred, but she surprised them all by ignoring the vulgar comments.
Unknown to them, she was slowly cracking. At night the real her would come out of no where and she would start reminiscing over the loss of her mother. She would stay up for hours on end just crying her heart out and praying that all of this was a horrible nightmare and that her mother hadn't cheated on her father and disgraced her family. But she knew by the end of the night that no matter how much she prayed and cried, what happened, happened and she should get over it and live with it.
One night as Ginny was in her usual state, crying, she heard tapping at her door. What the hell is that noise? Ginny thought to herself as she pulled the pillow over her head trying to muffle to noise, but it wouldn't go away. Begrudgingly she got up and dragged herself over to the window where three owls were waiting.
She pulled the windows open, violently and letting the nuisances in. As they flew over her head, she could see a basket tied to their feet. The owls gently set the basket on the floor and Ginny untied the thread from their feet and the owls fled.
She slowly pulled the towel that covered the basket, back. She gasped at what was before her. Her breathing increased reality sank in. Oh my god! She thought to herself.
Inside the basket, a baby was sleeping. Ginny's heart melted as she carefully picked up the infant who had his thumb in his mouth sucking. It was quite clear to her that this was her mother's baby. Oh god, what the hell am I going to do? Should I tell Dumbledore? No, I can't. He might make me give him up. Shit-wait. I know what I'll do. I have to go get Draco and Blaise.
With that, she put the infant back into the basket, covered him and they made their way to the boy's dormitory. She knocked softly before entering, knowing that Draco and or Blaise would still be up. It would astound her if they weren't.
She went to the bed closest to the window; Blaise's, set the basket down and pulled the curtains back. Please let him be alone. She silently pleaded. Fortunately, he was alone tonight for a change. Chuckling to her self, she gently shook him. "Blaise, it's me Ginny. I have something I need to tell you; wake up." She whispered.
Unfortunately for her, he was a heavy sleeper and hadn't woken up to her wake up call. Ginny puffed up her cheeks and glared at him, but soon stopped as Draco appeared by her side. "What's wrong?" He asked, scratching his hair with one hand and rubbing his left eye with the other. Oh my god, breathe Ginny, breathe. Merlin, he looks so adorable. She inwardly squealed, but regained composer as the mystery baby came to mind.
"Oh Draco, thank god you're awake!" She whispered relieved.
"Who in there right mind would be asleep now? I'm actually quite surprised to see him asleep at this time of night. Anyways, why do you want him up?" He asked in his normal voice; knowing that everyone in his dorm room were deep sleepers and would only wake up to the smell of breakfast.
"Draco, I have something to tell both you and Blaise. It's something dearly important and I have no time to waste."
This caught his attention. He went to the bathroom and came back a minute later with something that Ginny couldn't quite make out in his hand. Though she didn't have to wait long. The stench was unbearable. It made her feel like vomiting. It was a Quidditch sock that had been worn for a four hour practice earlier that day.
She held her nose and backed up a few steps as Draco put the sock a few inches away from his friend's nose. Blaise's nose scrunched up, his eye brows became knitted close together, and his cheeks began to turn a slight tinge of red.
Ginny had to put her hand over her mouth quite hard as she tried to hold back her laughter. After a few seconds of having the putrid smell going up his nostrils, Blaise finally woke up. "What the hell?" He muttered as he sat up. "Why would you put that god awful thing so close to my poor nose?"
Draco was about to explain, but Ginny interrupted him by sighing and put the basket on the bed and taking out the infant. "This is why."
Both men were stunned. Who would have ever thought that you would be woken up from sleep to find that one of your friend's has an emergency concerning a baby? Ginny shook her head and began to explain how she had stumbled across such an extravagant surprise.
"Ginny, you do know that you have to report him to Dumbledore right?" Blaise asked as he got out of his bed and walked over to the newborn.
"What do you mean?" Ginny asked perplexed. "I can't do that. They might take him away and give him to an orphanage or something."
Draco and Blaise looked to one another and sighed. Draco shook his head and said, "Ginny, you have to relax. We have to tell Dumbledore."
Her head flew from one friend to the next with a horrid expression plastered on her face. "How could you? Do you really want this little boy to grow up in someone else's home?"
Blaise pushed her firmly onto the bed and said, "We have to tell Dumbledore so that the baby can live with your father or one of your brothers." He said slowly so that she could understand.
She closed her eyes and sighed. "Oh my god, I'm insane." She whispered and soon enough all three of them realized that Ginny was back to her old self and had come to realize that all has happened and she cried as they held her.
The next day, Ginny woke up to find herself in her own bed. How did I get here? She asked herself as she sat up. "You sleep like a bear." Draco was leaning against the frame of the door. She glared at him and replied, "I do not sleep like a bear." He nodded and pursed his lips. "You're right. I shouldn't make fun of the poor bear like that. You are your own kind of animal."
She began to nod, but stopped as soon as she realized what he said. "Hey!"
He chuckled and shook his head. "Chill, I was kidding." Ginny sighed and got out of bed. She stopped short and spun around the room, "Where's the baby? How did I get here last night? I remember that I was in your dorm, so how the hell did I get here?"
"Hey calm down." Draco said as he gently as he wrapped his arms around her. "Everything is fine. Last night you had fallen asleep on Blaise and he brought you back to your room. When he came back we both thought long and hard about what we should do with the baby and we decided that we should go to Dumbledore right away. So we took the baby to him and now he (the baby) is at the hospital wing."
"What! Why is he at the hospital wing? Is something wrong?"
"No, nothing is wrong. At least, we hope not. We took him there so that we could get answers to questions. For instance, how old he is." He pointed out.
Ginny sighed and put her head in her hands. "God, I'm so stupid." She mumbled.
Draco smiled and placed his chin on her head, "Don't feel too stupid. You might make Blaise feel bad." Ginny chuckled, "I wouldn't want to do that." Wow, I didn't realize that Draco was so sweet.

OMG! There's so much going on right now. I'm starting a new story but I'm not going to post it until I'm finished with this one. I'm sorry it took me so long to post this short chapter. I had a writer's block but now I got a wild hair and I'm on a writing frieze. I have to get started on the next chapter. See you all next time.
