Finally Potter

Chapter twenty nine

A beeping sound was banging on her head. Slowly Ginny opened one eye and the brightness caused her to slam her eyelids shut. She could hear movement on the bed next to her and confusion took over.

The beeping sound though quit and the warmth that had been covering her moved away. A lurch came to her stomach and leaning over the side of the bed she felt the nausea leave. A small laugh sounded and ever so slowly she turned and looked up at the half naked man standing there.

She frowned as she looked at him, what the hell had happened. Bits and pieces from the night before were coming to her. She remembered leaving work and going to the cauldron. She was having a few drinks with the guys and then, drinking games.

"What don't you like hangovers Gin?"

"Shut up Harry."

"Oh not so cheerful now, haven't got hugs and kisses for me in the morning."

At his words her eyes widened, oh she couldn't have, they couldn't have. Harry wouldn't have done anything with her in that state he was smirking at her and then came over all serious.

"We didn't do anything. You made a lot of racket after Ron let you in and Hermione and I came down to see what was happening and Hermione gave you a sleeping potion."

"How about you give me a hangover cure?"

She didn't move as he disappeared from the room. He came back a little later and waving his wand cleared the mess she had created when she had awoken and gently he handed the potion over to her. She drunk it down and felt her stomach settle. Slowly she began to move and threw her legs out of bed.

"Gin I can't believe you got in that state."

"Oh and you've never gotten drunk before."

"I didn't mean it like that, anything could have happened Gin. You were so drunk last night if somebody had tried something you wouldn't have been able to stop it. I've been up most of the night thinking about what could have happened if Ron hadn't answered the door, or if you had gone somewhere else."

She stood up aware that she was only in her underwear and hugged the man in front of her.

"I'm sorry Harry. I promise that next time I get that drunk I'll stick with someone I'm out with okay."

He nodded and looked down at her raising an eyebrow. She grinned as she poked his rib.

"No ideas there Potter, only nine days before we get married and then you can get some."

"Who's idea was it that for the month before our wedding no –"

"Mine and besides it means you'll want me even more after the wedding."

"I'll still want you after the wedding if we –"

"Nine more days Potter, nine more days."

She picked up her trousers and slipped into them before finding her top and pulling that on. She then headed over to the bathroom. The door was open and she stepped inside to find Hermione leaning over the toilet looking quite sick.

"Hermione are you alright?"

She waved at Ginny as she emptied her stomach again and Ginny quickly moved over to her and rubbed gently on her back soothing the girl. She then stood up flushing the toilet and headed to the sink.

"Are you okay Hermione?"

"Yeah I'm fine Gin, what about you?"

"I feel a little foolish but a bit better now I've had a hangover potion."

Hermione moved slightly so Ginny could pick up the toothbrush they kept there for her and started to scrub at her own mouth. When they were done the pair headed down to the kitchen where the smell of bacon was strong in the air.

Ron was sat at the table with the Prophet in front of him a mug of coffee in hand while Harry was at the stove. He looked up as the two women entered and raised an eyebrow.

"So you both done being sick, or should I find a bucket."

Ron chuckled as Hermione hit him on the shoulder as she poured herself a glass of milk. Ginny made herself a cup of tea and sat at the table looking at her brother.

"Ron I'm sorry about whatever I said or did to you last night."

"You told me you love me."

"Well I do."

She looked again at Harry's back and back at her brother and sister in law. Hermione looked rather pale and Ginny just looked at her.

"Are you sure you're alright Hermione, you look really sick."

"I'm fine it's normal."

Ginny's mouth dropped and she could see Harry turning to look at her. She just smiled at the pair of them and took Ron's hand.

"I'm pregnant."

"Congratulations."

Harry had Hermione in a tight hug and Ginny stood moving to her brother and hugged him before taking Hermione into her arms.

"When's the baby coming?"

"Well you have to be patient Gin."

"But when?"

"April, the middle of."

Ginny again hugged her friend, she was very happy for her. She knew that if she hadn't have jumped in front of Hermione this wouldn't have been possible but at the same time she felt a little jealous but she would never admit that because they deserved this.

After breakfast Ginny left for the ministry with Ron and Harry and at the lifts said goodbye and headed down to the Department of Mysteries. She walked into the department and found a notice on one of the doors telling all staff to enter the veil room.

Ginny knowing she was late entered the room to find it packed. Standing at the bottom was an ill looking Tony he smirked when she entered.

"Nice of you to join us Weasley, I thought you'd be off today."

"I can handle my drinks sir."

"Well you seem to be the only one. Take a seat."

Ginny moved down to the front where her group usually sat to find that she indeed was on her own. Everyone else was chatting quietly to each other and Tony headed over to her.

"What time did you all finish drinking?"

"I don't know sir; I was in a real state. I ended up at my brother's house and I don't know how. The last thing I remember is the drinking games."

He nodded as the door opened again and Richard entered. Ginny saw Tony look at him and the young man just smiled meekly as he headed down to them. He dropped into the seat next to Ginny shaking his head gently.

"I'm never drinking that much again."

"Were you bad?"

"I've been up since five being sick."

"And you're still late?"

He sheepishly grinned but Tony shook his head as he called the meeting to order. They went over some problems that he had seen lately with people's work and then with a nod let them all go. Ginny and Richard remained seated looking at the veil.

"I guess we better get to work then."

The pair got up and headed to the office to get the equipment that they needed. When they got back to the room they found Robbie sat on the bottom step talking to Tony. He was nodding slowly and looked even from behind very bad.

As they reached the bottom step Ginny saw his black eye and gasped, he grinned sheepishly at her.

"Morning."

"What happened to your eye?"

He looked surprised but smiled gently.

"Don't you remember that twat Malfoy was out with his friends and they came onto you, and I pulled him off you."

"Malfoy was on me?"

"Yeah he had his hand up your top, well I punched him and his lot jumped me. I've been in St. Mungos all night."

"What?"

"Yeah, I took you to your brother's house and then went to the hospital."

Ginny grabbed him in a hug.

"I don't remember but thank you."

He nodded and looked at Richard and Tony.

"Well then the three of us better get to work."

Okay so this is the last post before Christmas. I just want to say
