Disclaimer: As normal, I don't own any of the Harry Potter characters, so don't sue me. This is just me letting my imagination run wild and free.
Dedication: I am dedicating this fic to Amanda. Hope ya like it.
Warnings: This fic contains some things that may be graphic to some people. No slash that I know of at the moment, but I might end up putting some in later on.
A/N: Thanks to all who reviewed. I'm getting a lot more reviews for this fic than the other ones. Also, just to make sure no one got confused about this, even though Ginny is pregnant with Ron's baby, she still goes out with Draco and Ron still goes out with Hermione. That's not going to change. It's just that Ron is going to be more brotherly and caring for her (not that he didn't care about her before).
Chapter 6Ginny hugged her mom.
"Seriously mum? You'd do that?"
"Yes, but, only if you come home on the weekends and holidays to take care of it. I'll take care of it while you are in school though," Mrs. Weasley said.
"Mum, you are the best!" Ginny said, hugging her mother once again.
"I try my best," Mrs. Weasley said, hugging Ginny back. "You guys should soon be heading back to school." Ginny and Ron nodded, then they Apparated to Hogsmeade and walked back to Hogwarts.
They went to Dumbledore's office to tell him what Mrs. Weasley had said.
"Excellent," Dumbledore said, gleefully. He dismissed them after giving them a bit more information.
They walked to the Head Boy/Girl dorm. Hermione was sitting on the couch, obviously waiting for them, but Draco was no where to be seen.
"Well, how did it go?" Hermione asked, before Ron and Ginny even got a chance to sit down.
"It went better than I thought it would," Ginny said, sitting in an arm chair next to the fire. Ron sat next to Hermione interlocked their fingers.
"Well, that's good then. So, what are you going to do with the baby when it's born?" Hermione asked, wanting to know all the details.
"Well, mum said that while I am in school, she will take care of it, but when I'm not in school, like weekends and holidays and stuff, I will go home and take care of it," Ginny said, looking around. She noticed that Draco wasn't there. "Where's Draco?"
"He's up in his room. He's been up there for a while. Ever since you left," Hermione said.
"I better go upstairs and tell him I'm back," Ginny said, walking upstairs.
"Did you still want me to show you how to dance?" Hermione asked Ron. Ron nodded. Hermione flicked her wand and music played softly. She took Ron's hand and showed him how to dance.
Ginny walked in to Draco's room. He was sitting on the floor with his back against his bed, facing away from Ginny.
"Hey baby, I'm back," Ginny said, walking over and sitting on his bed. He didn't respond. She looked down to kiss him when she seen the shiny blade rested against his arm. "Draco, what are you doing?" She got off the bed and sat down next to him.
"I can't take this, Ginny! I can't take you leaving me," he said, still holding the blade against his arm.
"What? I'm not leaving you. Why would you think I was leaving you?" Ginny asked, placing her hand on Draco's cheek and taking the blade from his hand. He didn't refuse to give her the knife.
"Well, you're having a baby for Ron. You're going to start going out with him aren't you?" Draco asked.
"Of course not, baby. Ron's my brother," Ginny said, lightly kissing him. "And besides, I love you. I could never leave you. You're the only one I've ever felt this way about before. That probably sounds kinda stupid because I'm only 16, but I really do love you Draco Malfoy. And nothing, not even me having a baby will change that."
"You're not leaving me then?" Draco asked.
"Of course not! And you shouldn't be hurting yourself either," Ginny responded.
"I know. I'm gonna stop. I love you Gin," Draco said, wrapping his arms around Ginny, kissing her lovingly.
"I love you too, Draco," Ginny said. They both just sat on the floor, locked in each others embrace. About 15 minutes later, Ginny broke the hug.
"What's wrong?" Draco asked.
"Nothing," Ginny said, standing and helping Draco up. "I just think that we should soon go to bed."
Draco yawned. "I think you're right."
"Night Draco," Ginny said, kissing him and walking to the door.
"Stay with me tonight?" Draco asked.
Ginny smiled. "Sure, just let me go upstairs and get some clothes." Ginny went to her dorm and changed into some night clothes and got some clothes for the next morning too. She walked back to the Head Boy/Girl dorm and up to Draco's room. Draco was already in bed waiting for her. She crawled into bed with him and snuggled up next to him.
"Night baby," she said, kissing him.
"Night," Draco said, kissing back.
The next day, after classes were over for the day, Ginny didn't feel like sitting around so she decided to go for a walk around the grounds. While she was walking around the lake, she seen Harry leaving the Quidditch pitch and walk towards her.
"Hey Harry."
"Hey Gin. What's up?"
"Nothing much. What about you?"
"Nothing really. Just finished Quidditch practice. Mind if I walk with you?" Harry asked. Ginny shook her head and Harry started to walk with her. "So, Ron told me that you were pregnant."
"He did?"
"Yeah. He told me everything in Potions this morning, and I have to admit, I was a bit grossed out with it at first," Harry admitted.
"I was expecting that sort of reaction. I think most people are gonna feel the same way," Ginny said.
"Well, it's your life. And people can judge you all they want, but their opinions don't really mean anything as long as you are happy with your life. If I were you, I wouldn't worry about what other people thought of me. Plus, most people will probably just judge you on the fact that it's Ron's baby and they won't know the full story. You don't need to listen to them," Harry said.
Ginny smiled at him. "Thanks Harry. And you're right. It is my life."
"Well Gin, I told Hermione that I would meet her in the library to work on our Potions assignment. Talk to you later," Harry said, running towards the castle. As he disappeared through the door, Ginny thought that it was time she started heading back as well.
As she was walking back to the Gryffindor common room, she suddenly felt sick. She ran to the nearest bathroom and emptied her stomach.
I'm never going to get used to this, Ginny thought to herself as she walked back up to the Gryffindor common room.
Friday night, about an hour before the dance, Ginny was in Hermione's room trying to find something that she could wear to the dance.
"While I was on vacay with my parents in Paris, I bought this really cute jeans and top that I think will look so cute on you," Hermione said, looking in her trunk and then taking out a pair of blue bellbottom jeans with a flower belt and a light blue top with flare arms. "And I have some hoop earrings that will go with them too if you want to borrow them."
"Thanks so much Hermione. All my clothes is so plain and boring and I want to look nice, cause God only knows when I will be this skinny again," Ginny said, laughing slightly and changing into the clothes Hermione just handed her. She didn't mind changing in front of Hermione cause they do it all the time, after all, they are best friends. (A/N: Don't get grossed out. It's not as if they are naked. She's still wearing underwear and a bra)
She then put in the hoop earrings and Hermione put her hair up in a sloppy ponytail.
"Gin, you look awesome," Hermione said. "Those clothes look better on you than they do on me." Hermione was wearing the same thing as Ginny only her jeans were a faded blue and her top was a white tank top.
"Thanks Hermione, you look great too," Ginny said, fixing her make-up while Hermione fixed hers. They both walked down to the Great Hall. Ron and Draco were waiting outside for them, and when they arrived, the boys took their hands and lead them inside. The guys were wearing normal teenage guy clothes (picture it however you want) The lights in the Great Hall were dimmed and the ceiling was enchanted so that it showed a clear night sky, the moon illuminating the hall. The platform where the professors normally sit had been transformed into a stage and the 4 house tables had been replaced by smaller 6-seater ones.
The Wicked Witch Trio were playing a more upbeat song. Draco and Ginny took no time in getting on the dance floor. Ron, however, needed a bit more coaxing from Hermione.
"Ron, c'mon. No one is gonna laugh at you. Plus, you done excellent when I was showing you how to dance. And fast dancing is the easiest. You just move with the music," Hermione said, trying to convince him to dance with her.
"Maybe later," Ron said, taking a drink from his punch.
"Ron, I don't wanna spend the whole dance just sitting here," Hermione said. "Pretend we're back in the dorm and it's only me in the room."
"Alright," Ron said, finally getting up. Hermione half-walked, half-dragged Ron to the dance floor and they began to dance. Ron had his hands on Hermione's hips and she had her arms wrapped around Ron's neck. They were grinding on the dance floor, perfectly in-time with the music. Ginny noticed them and how good Ron was doing. She signaled for Draco to look.
"Hermione must be a good dance teacher to get Ron dancing like that," Draco said, laughing. Ginny playfully punched him as they continued to dance. When the song changed to a slow song, Ron immediately went to sit down, but Hermione grabbed his arm before he could.
"C'mon Ron. You've already been dancing. Slow dancing is no different," Hermione said. Ron, not wanting another argument, just gave in and danced with Hermione. Draco and Ginny danced too.
At the end of the night, as the last slow song played, Ginny walked up to Harry. He was sitting at a table all by himself. He looked so depressed.
"Hey Harry. I promised you a dance," Ginny said, taking his hand. He smiled and got up. They shared a dance.
"You're a good dancer," Harry said, making small talk rather than an awkward silence.
"Thanks, so are you," Ginny replied, smiling.
"So, you really like Draco, huh?" Harry asked, stilling feeling a bit jealous.
"Yeah, I do."
"Well, as long as your happy. And I know it's a little late for this, but I've had a crush on you for a while and I was planning on asking you out this year, but you've found someone you're happy with. And besides, Draco can probably give you more than I can," Harry said.
"Aww, Harry. I'm sure you know that I used to have a crush on you too, but you're right. I have found someone that makes me happy," Ginny said.
Then Dumbledore spoke. "Well, I have to say that this was a very good idea. I also feel safe to say that it will be a regular thing. And I would just like to wish the Gryffindor and Ravenclaw teams good luck for tomorrow's Quidditch match. Good night."
Once the dance was over, Ginny went back to the Head Boy/Girl dorm with Draco. Hermione and Ron had left the dance early so they could "do something more fun". But thankfully when Draco and Ginny went upstairs, Hermione and Ron were already asleep. Draco and Ginny crawled into bed and fell asleep in each others arms.
The next morning, Ron had woken early to get in some extra practice before the match. It was perfect conditions for Quidditch; the sun wasn't too bright, it wasn't raining or snowing, and there was no wind to blow them off course.
As the game was getting ready to start, the stands began to fill. (A/N: Draco was standing with the Slytherins). Ginny and Hermione were waving their red and gold flags as both teams walked onto the pitch and mounted their brooms. Madame Hooch threw the Quaffle and they were off.
The first hour of the game went excellent. Gryffindor were in the lead 90-30 and the weather conditions hadn't worsened. As Ron blocked the Quaffle from entering the hoop, one of the Ravenclaw beaters sent a bludger straight at Ron. The bludger collided with Ron's head. He immediately fell off his broom about 50 feet from above and landed hard on the ground. Professor Dumbledore immediately left the stands and went down to the pitch.
"RON!" Ginny screamed and ran down the steps and out onto the pitch. Hermione followed close behind her. Draco noticed Ginny running and he also ran towards Ron. Ginny fell next to Ron and lifted his head into her lap.
"Let's get him to the hospital wing," Draco said, gently picking Ron up and carrying him to the hospital wing. McGonagall got on the loudspeaker and announced that the game was cancelled. Once Draco, Ginny, Hermione and Professor Dumbledore got Ron to the hospital wing, they put him on a bed and called Madame Pomfrey to look at him. She done a few checks on him and then looked at the three with a worried expression on her face.
"It doesn't look good," she stated grimly, turning back to Ron and continuing testing.
