Chapter Three: The truth comes out

The next month went by in such a blur for me. I had so much to plan for the wedding. Harry was a big help, but he's a man so there was only so much he could do; or that I'd let him do! I asked Hermionie and Luna to be my bridesmaids and both accepted. It turns out that Hermionie is pregnant! She isn't due until August but we'll be pregnant at the same time. I find that rather exciting. Harry, of course, asked Ron to be his best man, obviously Ron said yes, he seems to have accepted the fact that Harry 'knocked me up' and he's okay with it, well as okay as anyone would expect Ron to be. I think Hermionie has done him a lot of good, she completely convinced Ron that it was a good thing that I was pregnant, said something about their baby having a cousin close in age and that they'd be like the Harry and Ron of the twenty-first century. Perked him right up!

It's been so good having Hermionie to talk to. Dumbeldore let us communicate via floo and I don't know what I'd do without her. She's my rock, the person who keeps me steady when I feel my world shattering around me. Luna's great too but in a more exotic, floopy sort of way. That's not even a word… oh well now it is! I've just been so exhausted! I still have my head girl duties and I'm still captain of the quidditch team even if I can't fly. Madame Pomphry had a fit when I went to quidditch practice the day after I found out I was pregnant, I don't know why she was so mad, I only took a quick spin around the quidditch pitch, it wasn't like I was playing an entire game or anything… Anyway we made a deal. I would stay quidditch captain, but I'd have to find a new seeker, so now Dennis Creevey is the new seeker. He isn't bad, but not nearly as good as I was, and no match to Harry. I'm actually a better chaser but it's harder to finds seekers so I took up that spot.

Today is December 19th and I'm just trying to get through my last classes, but it's so hard to concentrate! I have no idea how Harry is able to teach. I think I'll just stare at him, hopefully he won't call on me… he better not I AM carrying the fruit of his loins… His hair is so messy, but in such an attractive way, and his eyes, GOD I hope our baby gets his eyes they are so gorgeous! They look like emeralds, ooh Emerald City like in that muggle movie Hermionie loves, what's it called… oh yeah! The Wizard of Oz, those muggles are some funny people, that guy in Emerald City was so not a wizard! But Harry so is and I'm going to Emerald City in his Emerald eyes… Ooh he's looking towards me, okay, pretend you were listening… damn it! It's no use Harry can see right through me. Damn!

"Ginny can you please tell us what you're supposed to look for?" Harry asked sweetly. Of course I knew it was fake sweetness. I glared at him and said,

"Umm a nest?" I asked stupidly.

"Miss Weasly, please pay attention next time, I was looking for fangs, Vampires are creatures who are most noted for their fangs…" Harry went on to explain.

Luna's hand was in the air.

"Yes Miss Lovegood?" Harry asked.

"Mr. Potter, Shouldn't you be nice to Ginny? She is marrying you tomorrow." Luna's dreamy voice said.

Ah shit! It's not that I didn't want people to know about Harry and me, but I didn't really want to be judged, I guess we would have been anyway after I started showing… Oh well I guess it's better it came out now.

Nearly the entire class turned to look at me, that's okay I do like being the center of attention. I could hear people whispering all around me forming theories that were so far fetched I nearly died laughing.

"Yeah, I heard that there was an evil spell that bound them together and they have to get married."

"Yeah! I heard that too!" Someone else said.

"No, you guys I'm pregnant!" I said after a moment. Everyone went silent and stared at me dumbfounded. "What?" I asked, "It would have come out sooner or later, I mean robes only cover so much and my mood swings will start soon enough and I can hardly blame it on PMS for the entire nine months…"

I glanced at Harry and could see him trying to stifle a laugh. I guess I am quite amusing.

At that moment the room filled with chatter, everyone's eyes darting from me to Harry and then to my stomach. I know that I like being the center of attention, but this was a little much even for me… Luckily the bell rang for lunch and everyone left.

"Ginny, I'm sorry everyone found out." Harry said quietly when the last of my classmates had exited the room.

"It would have eventually come out, I meant what I said, robes only hide so much." I replied.

"Yeah I suppose, I just didn't want any rumors to start about you." Harry said with a sad smile.

"Let them talk, I don't care as long as you and I know the truth it doesn't matter." I said triumphantly.

"This is what I love about you Ginny, you never let anything bother you, I wish I were that talented." Harry said with a sigh.

"That's not true, I just hide it better than you, that's all." I said with a weak smile.

"No Ginny, you are stronger than me and even if you don't realize it yet, you will." Harry said gently.

"Whatever you say Harry. Now, we need to leave for the Burrow within the next two minutes! Dumbeldore has set up a portkey for us, so lets go! I said excitedly.

"Yeah, are you excited?" Harry asked sarcastically.

"Of course I am!" I said ignoring his sarcastic tone. "And you should be too, we get to have sex for the first time in a month!" I said with a wicked little wink.

"That sounds lovely." Harry said, his eyes glazing over. I didn't even want to know what types of dirty thoughts were cluttering his mind.

"Come on, the portkey's about to activate, we better get ready." I said.

Harry and I walked over to the old, chipped teacup Dumbeldore set up for our transportation. We each put one finger on the teacup, our other hand gripping our luggage. Moments later I felt a familiar tug at my navel and felt myself spinning. I really wonder how safe portkey travel is for a pregnant woman… Oh well too late now but I at least I'll have something to blame if my child ends up with like three arms or something… SHUT UP BRAIN!

A/N: I'd like to thank everyone who reviewed. They really made my day. I'd love to give individual thank you's but I heard that we aren't allowed to. I signed a petition against it that my friend E-mailed me. Hopefully the rule won't be passed… Okay thanks again, next chapter is the wedding!

Please read and review, Review, it makes me write faster please?
