Chapter 2

Ginny shivered as she entered the Malfoy Manor. When her and Draco were married they left this Manor. Draco had too many bad memories from it and he couldn't really sleep there without having a bad dream. So they moved to Edinburgh, but Draco had to keep the place for "business" matters. Many of his documents and other official things were placed here.

Draco moved swiftly from behind Ginny and into the study. Ginny followed him in a more graceful manor. She saw that the desk she used to keep in there was still as it always was. Draco rifled through his desk for the right papers, for another business matter. When he found them he handed them to Ginny who sat down and signed them. When this exchange was over they called for Kisa to enter the room.

"Yes?" she answered sweetly. Ginny smiled calmly and Draco smirked. When Kisa saw the papers she said down because, even though she was young, she had been through enough to know that when papers are involved the discussion will be long.

"When me and your father were, um, separating we decided not to bring you into any conflict, but there is something we cannot agree on." Ginny began slowly. Kisa studied her mother and realized nothing seemed wrong, her mother was just nervous.

"What is it," Kisa asked.

"Since your powers have amplified, we were wondering if you would like to go to magic school and get a head start on training," Draco said is a business-like manner. "I say that I could teach, but your mother feels that you should go to school, so we want to know what you want."

"What is school like," Kisa asked. Draco bit his lip because, for once in his life, he did not know what to say. Ginny's face lit up. She was very excited about Kisa considering school.

"In school you get to meet people your age and you get to try simple spells. Mommy went to school too. I met Uncle Harry there, and Uncle Blaise. I even met your father at school." Ginny kept talking to Kisa about how wonderful going there was. Then she was talking about how when she turned eleven Kisa could go to Hogwarts. "Hogwarts is very big and Grandpa Dumbledore teaches there."

"Yes, yes Hogwarts is very fine, you can visit your cousin James there," Draco sneered. "Now you'll be going to Durmstrang. Many strong Malfoys have gone there."

"Explains why you didn't go," Ginny snapped. "Kisa will be attending Hogwarts like we did, dear." Ginny stressed on the last word making sure that Draco did not argue. Needless to say, she failed.

"Oh I am not backing down she will be going to Durmstrang!" Draco shouted. He was ready to start a yelling match, but he simmered down. Kisa looked down at the ground. She knew that her parents were going to fight again. Ginny looked away from Draco. After a while she started to talk.

"Fine, but you'll be the one to take her to register." Ginny still wouldn't look at Draco. Draco was too happy to notice this. He started to tell Kisa about Durmstrang, and how she'd be too cute in their uniform. When an elf told Ginny that someone was in the fireplace for her she got up right away. Walking into the living room she saw Harry's head in the fire.

"Hey Ginny," his voice was very squeaky and high-pitched. "Um I left this morning to help out Ron. He was catching-,"

"Goyle. We know now what is it?" She demanded. Harry looked down, his voice made it sound as though he had been crying.

"Well, it was a trap. Goyle led him to a place where most of the loose Death Eaters were hiding," Harry began. He paused and let the words sink into Ginny. She thought for a moment and then a realization came over her.

"How bad Harry?" she asked, wondering her brother's fate.

"He didn't make it Ginny," he said. Ginny started to sob uncontrollably, and then her feet gave way. She looked up and saw Harry enter the room. The sound of the fire carried into the Study and Draco came into the room to investigate. He saw Ginny kneeling down and Harry kneeling in front of her, with his head against her's.

"Why may I ask are you here?" Draco asked very annoyed. Harry looked up at him, his eyes brimming with tears. Ginny saw Draco and got up. She swung her arms around him and started to cry even harder. Draco was speechless, and to make matters worse Kisa came into the room. She saw her mother's tears and panicked. She thought it was because she has chosen to go to Durmstrung.

"Oh mommy, I'll go to Hoggyports if you want me to," Kisa said timidly. Ginny just continued to cry into Draco. Meanwhile, Draco ushered for the house elf to take Kisa out of the room. He picked up Ginny's hands from around his neck, and gave her to Harry. Ginny looked very hurt at what he had done, but she continued to cry.

Ginny examined herself in the mirror. Her black wool coat had a hemline all the way down to her black boots. The sleeves stopped short at her leather black gloves. Her hair was in a tight bun and it was clipped together. She heard murmuring from downstairs and gathered people were arriving.

"Another brother's funeral," she heard Bill sigh. She decided she should make her presence known. She grasped the handrail of the main stairs hardly. She didn't need to worry about making noise. The portraits became silent the night Harry fulfilled the prophecy. As she saw the living room, she saw Narcissa, Snape, Bill, Fleur, Harry, and Molly in the room. She swiftly moved over to her mother and hugged her.

Narcissa moved backwards as she saw the young woman move down the stairs. Her head was held high and her face did not look as though it had ever cried. Narcissa was thinking how true Malfoy-like this girl was. Narcissa had even worn a similar outfit to the funeral of her husband. Though the occasion was not one in which she was truly in mourning, she still had a pain in her heart.

Ginny touched her stomach as a thumping pain stung at it. She thought it was her lack of food because she had not been able to eat. Molly looked at her with concern, "What is it deary?"

"Nothing, a bad stomach." Ginny felt her legs throb too. This was more than not eating. After the funeral she'd have Hermione check her out. For now wanted to get this over with."

Over with it was. No one really said anything during the burial speeches. Ginny sat staring ahead of her. She couldn't speak. When Dumbledore stepped down from the podium everyone cried softly as Ron's coffin buried itself, everyone except Draco, Ginny, and Blaise. Everyone rose and entered the castle. Ginny walked beside Blaise and Draco. All of the sudden something grabbed her elbow and she screamed.

Hermione turned pure white when Blaise and Draco made swift movements and pushed Ginny behind them, and brought out their wands at Hermione. Ginny put her hands on both boys' wand and lowered it. Hermione breathed a sigh of relief.

"Your mother said that you had a stomach ache, bad legs, and a bad back." Hermione stared at the boys wondering if they would arm themselves again. Ginny laughed and said a sarcastic comment.

"No no, just a stomach ache, but now that you mention it, I think I have pulled out my back." Ginny felt Blaise run his finger down her back. He was muttering something and then said.

"Your back is normal." Blaise, realizing he was tickling her, continued. Draco gave him a look and he stopped. Ginny rolled her eyes. Draco Malfoy was all about appearance. If people saw his best friend touching his wife in such a way it would be reported as a scandolus act. Actually, no one saw it that way. Blaise was just a pest, people thought he was bothering Ginny.

Harry made many comments and speeches at the dinner that night. Ginny realized after her tenth glass of cider, that her stomach was still very bad. Blaise watched how she outdrank him, even though she wasn't drinking alcohol, her drink was bitter. He actually decided to switch to cider, but he couldn't' hold it down with all the firewhiskey he had. When she was fed up with this she rose from the table. As she hilted her head excusing herself, she fainted. Just as simple as sunrise, she fainted. The thing that made it funnier that it would seem, was that Draco was the one to catch her.

"Um, would it be cliché to ask if there is a healer in the house?" Blaise looked around waiting for an answer to his question. Hermione helped Draco lay Ginny down.

"Stress, that is what it is stress," Hermione mumbled. Draco and Blaise rolled their eyes. Ginny had been through everything most Order members only dream of, and she had never fainted at her other brothers funeral. Kisa came running to her mother. Kisa had not been allowed to go to the actual burial, but she paid her respects to her Uncle during dinner.

"Is mummy sick again?" Kisa asked tenderly. Draco's head shot up. Hermione's eyebrows sprung in a sudden realization. Ginny was actually sick, stress wasn't a factor. Draco's diagnosis was similar, but his wasn't an illness.

"When was your mummy sick?" Hermione asked frantically.

"Everyday," Kisa answered. Then she lifted her hand and counted off, on her fingers, how many times her mother had been sick.

"You don't think she is seriously sick," said Hermione. Then she mentally kicked herself because Kisa's eyes shot wide. She about to comfort the girl, but Ginny was stirring. She looked at everyone with a quizzical look.

Blaise took it upon himself to answer her unheard question, "You're either pregnant or extremely sick." Ginny turned white. Several people smacked Blaise. Draco put up his hand to stop them. Then he turned with his hand in the air and really let Blaise have it. "Hermione said it in front of Kisa, so why when I tell Ginny I get slapped?"

Blaise's question went unanswered. He decided to take Kisa to her room, she would be staying the castle that night. Draco stood up and sat down in his chair. He began drinking some firewhiskey. "Was he lying?" Ginny asked sheepishly.

"Actually, the twit was right. You're either very sick or pregnant." Hermione laughed, as Ginny turned white. Hermione naturally crossed off being pregnant from the possibilities list and said, "You just have a bug, or maybe a cold."

Ginny sat up and contemplated this. She couldn't be sick because she would have noticed. She couldn't be pregnant because she hadn't done the necessary steps to be pregnant. Then it hit her. A month ago, and her time with Malfoy. "Oh crap!" She looked at Draco and had a heavy expression on her face.
