Chapter 3
Arriving at Sirius' home was a welcomed idea. No one had bothered to go to his or her own home. After every turn down or up everyone seemed to migrate to the headquarters. Ginny had a feeling they were planning to do so, so he called ahead of time and ask those who had not bothered to take the train to fix up some things. While preparing for the arrival into the station Ginny began searching for Kisa. She could not find her though. Blaise began helping her. Once they were able to find Kisa playing hide-and-seek with Rayne and James they began to collect their stuff.
As they traveled down the hall they were talking so deeply that they did not hear the door a few feet ahead of them open. When they actually noticed its occupants Ginny banged heads with one of them.
"Oh sorry," a male's voice hummed. Ginny looked up and saw Harry. He looked a little shaken up.
"Harry? What's wrong?" Ginny asked. A silent tear fell down Harry's cheek as he smiled.
"I was reading Ron's will." Ginny looked over Harry's shoulder and saw Draco. She gave Harry a quizzical look and he elaborated. "Ron's request was for me and Draco to read the will."
"Oh, well let's go then." Draco grabbed Kisa as she fell from the sudden stop. Ginny picked up Kisa, almost snatching her from Draco. The boys gave her looks. Ginny just sneered at them and walked away.
Getting off of the train Ginny saw the old fireplace. She hurried over to it and tossed the floo powder in it and attached Kisa to her side. When she stepped through she felt something pull her back. As she landed in the kitchen of Grimmauld place she didn't fall forward. She felt Blaise and Draco's hands on her shoulders, keeping her balance.
Molly bustled into the room and took Kisa away, knowing the talk that was coming. Ginny walked into one of the more secluded studies in the manor. Draco, Blaise, Harry, Hermione, and Daisy followed her in. She sat on a chair and waited for someone to break the silence. No one did, but in time Tonks and Lupin joined us, Sirius followed close by.
Tonks broke the silence, "So I won't ask about the father, but are you going to keep it?" Her eyes were shining. Ginny knew she didn't want to know any juicy details, but she was truly concerned.
"I don't think I will," Ginny said. Draco looked like someone took a bat to his pride. Hermione opened her mouth to protest but Ginny interjected, "I will have the child, but I can't keep it."
"Why?" asked Remus. He looked at Ginny. She sighed and shook her head.
"Kisa grew up knowing she had a mother and a father, not parents, but individual people. This child won't be subjected to this."
"You can't do that," Harry yelled. He stood up. "I know for a fact not knowing what your parents are like is torture. At least, the child will have one parent." Ginny saw that Harry was trying hard not to cry. He sat back down and murmured, "Don't be selfish."
"ENOUGH! Potter don't be thick. Yelling at a pregnant woman?" Draco sneered. Harry looked away. "Ginerva, you won't be giving the child away."
"Why does your opinion count?" asked Sirius. Draco shot him a glare.
"Because, oh stupid one, I am the father." Draco let this fact sink into everyone. Ginny blushed crimson. She got up slowly and grabbed Blaise's collar. She dragged him over behind a tall stack of books.
She whispered delicately in Blaise's ear, "Draco might not be the father."
"What?" Blaise exclaimed. Ginny put her finger on his mouth. She leaned in closely to tell him the tale.
"Well no doubt Draco told you about that night in the Manor?" Ginny inquired. Blaise simply nodded. "Well, I went there because we were searching for photos of Ron's wedding, I lost my copies the previous night. How I lost them, is where the story twists. You see I was in the Leaky Cauldron staying while this shit hole was being renovated."
"Yeah, yeah," Blaise whispered impatiently.
"Well I met Harry there, an-an-and he and Hermione had separated at the time. WE got drunk and well you know the rest. And I left some of my things in the room." Blaise's eyebrows were hidden in his fringe as they rose. He walked away from Ginny and sat in his regular seat.
Ginny stood and watched as a somewhat normal conversation continued, Quidditch. Of course everything was awkward, but for her sake, or more the baby's sake, no one said anything. Draco bragged about Kisa's new toy broom. Ginny winced when he mentioned how high he went up and the tricks she did. Blaise shot Ginny disgusted looks, and she wasn't the only one who noticed.
"Zabini, why are you giving Gin the evil eye?" Daisy asked. Blaise shot Ginny a look and just stormed out of the room. At his sudden absence Ginny got up to follow him, but Draco grabbed her arm. He gave her a look.
"Piss off Malfoy." Ginny snatched her limp back and walked out of the room. She stalked down the hall. When she reached the kitchen she saw her mother and Narcissa talking.
"Hello, Ginerva. I was talking to Molly about your- um- predicament." Narcissa had the same habit as her son, she stared into her drink. Ginny felt the urge to peek into the cup to see what was so interesting. Molly caught Ginny and gave her a sharp look.
"Ginny dear, tell us why young Blaise came stomping through here." Molly requested. Ginny looked at the women then turned around to scan the room. Her hawk-like eyes caught nothing, her ears only heard the whistling of the pipes. She felt the steam from them hit her from above as they cracked. She sighed. Then as she opened her mouth she snapped it shut.
Opening her mouth again she said, "He's in a strop." Then an immediate bang was heard from the pantry. Ginny walked over and opened the door. Inside was a blushing looking Blaise wrapped in a link of sausage.
"In a strop and in a very nosy mood," Ginny snapped. She went over to him and whacked the sausages off of him and grabbed his ear. She pulled it close to her mouth. Her voice dripped with venom as she leered her words into his ears, "if you think of telling a soul I will personally kill you."
Ginny dropped his ear and walked away. The venom from her words was still stinging the air. The fact she had not hidden what she was saying added more to the seriousness of her actions. Narcissa shook her head and said, "Whatever that was about, she'll be apologizing in about half an hour. The hormones will already be taking affect on her."
"Poor dear those emotions in her are probably so mixed up, not even her father could help her," Molly said sadly. Blaise nodded in silent agreement as he sat himself at the counter with the old wives. They were peeling potatoes and he decided to help them.
Ginny returned from empting her stomach out in the toilet. She counted the precious seconds until her stomach would rest. Her dear mother was continuously telling her to drink milk. She tried it, but she forgot that she should have just one glass and now she was spewing it over her new robes.
"Can't you do that in the bathroom?" Blaise leered as he walked into the room. Ginny made a gesture to him she wouldn't normally give to anyone. A lot happened since the meeting in the study. Ginny wasn't able to care for Kisa properly and she couldn't be bothered running around Grimmauld chasing after her. And Molly was far too out of it to care for both. So, she was forced, in a way, into moving into Malfoy Manor.
When Blaise heard about it he invited himself in. Even though Ginny wasn't his favorite person at the moment he knew what would happen if her and Draco were alone. Draco would be driven insane and she would be in a permanent bitter state. Kisa wasn't too thrilled though about it though. She wanted only her parents to be alone together. So she was the bitter one.
