Chapter 10 - I'll be
"Stand out of the way before something bad happens Malfoy." Harry growled. Draco's eyes glistened and he smirked that ever so famous smirk. "Oh, and what are you going to do? Attack me in front of the whole Ministry?" Draco asked. Harry's mind was racing. He didn't know what to do. If he attacked Malfoy now, he could risk loosing his wand and getting in trouble from the ministry. If he didn't attack Malfoy would.
"Draco, lets go." Pansy said tugging at his sleeve.
"Better watch yourself Potter, your hours are drawing near. Your fantasy will become your death." Draco said.
Harry rounded on him. Tackling him to the ground Harry practically cursed him right there. "What the bloody hell is that supposed to mean!" He asked.
"Just make sure you watch your dreams Potter." Draco said.
Harry eased up on Draco a little bit. "How do you know about my dreams?" Harry asked him. Draco smirked.
At this moment Arthur came out of his office. "What is going on out here?" He glared at Draco. "Guards!" He yelled. About 4 Auror's popped out of nowhere and grabbed Draco from Harry's grasp.
Tying Malfoy up, Tonks asked "What are you doing here Malfoy?"
"I came to see Fudge." He said.
Pansy stood back glaring. "You cant arrest him without any cause!" she yelled.
Arthur rounded on her. "He is charged with Kidnap and the use of the Cruciartis Curse on my daughter and Harry Potter." he said.
"Draco did not do that! Someone had stolen his identity and used Polyjuice potion to do that!" Pansy screamed.
She was getting livid now. Arthur laughed. "Really Pansy I would think that you could come up with something better than Polly Juice Potion." He said. Pansy glared at him.
"Look, I know you never liked us, but Draco did not rape your daughter and he did not use the curse on her! It was Wormtail!" she yelled.
Everyone turned and looked at her this time. Arthur had to calm whatever nerves he had and consider this fact. If she was telling the truth, there was nothing he could do. If she wasn't, well that was a whole other story. Even Draco looked at her like he didn't know what she was talking about.
"Until we have evidence that Draco was either under the influence of the imperious curse or like you said someone had taken his identity then he will have to stay in custody." Arthur said. Pansy was fuming. She stormed out of the office.
Draco was taken into custody. He would remain there until his trial. Harry and Arthur both looked at each other with questioning eyes.
"I don't know, Percy said that Draco didn't do it according to Ginny." Harry said to him. They were sitting in his office.
Arthur rubbed his forehead. Harry could tell he was deep in thought.
"I don't know Harry. I just don't know. Lets talk to Ginny about it when you get home ok?" Arthur asked.
Harry nodded. He went back to the house to find Hermione laying asleep on the couch as well as Ron. Ginny was reading a guide to wondrous creatures by Melinda Porter.
"Hello Handsome" She smiled kissing Harry.
"How are you love?" He asked her.
"Tired." She said. Harry nodded.
"We had quite a event happen at the Ministry today." He started. Harry rubbed his forehead.
"Oh?" She asked
"I met Malfoy while I was leaving your dad's office and he tried cursing me, but that wasn't the interesting part. When we asked him about you, Pansy said it wasn't him it was someone else that had stolen Draco's identity under the Pollyjuice Potion." Harry said.
Ginny shivered and sat down on the chair. She nodded. "That makes sense." She said. "Who did Pansy say it was?" She asked.
"Wormtail." Harry said.
Ginny made no motion or expression on her face. She just nodded.
"Is Malfoy going to go on trial?" She asked.
"They have to find evidence to put against him. If they find evidence that Wormtail did use Polyjuice Potion, then yes he will be free. If not, he's got a one way ticket to Azkaban and for using the Cruciartis curse on you and me." Harry said.
Ginny nodded.
She hugged him tightly. She was tense. Harry could feel it. Her breathing was irregular. "This is bad Harry. I don't have a good feeling about it." She said.
"I know love, you will probably have to testify as a witness." Harry said.
"I don't want to. That puts me in the line of fire." Ginny said.
They sat there and held each other for a while not saying anything.
-----------------------
The day of the trial came a few weeks later.
The Malfoy's sat on the opposite side of Harry, Ron, and Hermione. McGonagall was there as well as Ludo Bagman and Barty Crouch.
"The trial will begin now." Arthur's voice boomed.
Draco came up next to his lawyer, a very important looking wizard with rimmed glasses and curly gray hair.
"Mr. Brinkman, you can present your first witness." Arthur said.
The courtroom was silent. "We would like to ask Severus Snape to the witness stand." Mr. Brinkmen said.
Everyone started talking immediately. "Silence!" Arthur said loudly banging his hammer.
Snape stood up in the very back of the courtroom and walked forward. His dark greasy hair shimmered in the light. He turned and looked at Harry before sitting up on the witness stand.
Arthur pounded his hammer. "Silence!"
Everyone was watching with intense interest.
"Where were you on the Night of December 12th?" Mr. Brinkmen asked.
"I was in hiding." Snape said
Mr. Brinkmen nodded.
"Have you been hiding in Hogwarts?" Mr. Brinkmen asked.
"Yes." Snape said.
Minerva's eyes went wide.
"It has been my knowledge that you told us someone was stealing from your collection of potions, do you know who it is?" Mr. Brinkmen asked.
"Wormtail." Snape said.
"Why would you let Wormtail steal from your collection?" Mr. Brinkmen asked.
" I didn't know it was him until the Dark Lord informed me of what had happen with young Ms. Weasley." Snape said. Mr. Brinkmen nodded.
"That is all. Thank you Severus." He said.
Two guards went to arrest Snape for the Murder of Albus Dumbledore.
Arthur nodded. He turned to Harry who was sitting next to Sirius Black and another witch, who was presenting the Prosecution's case. "Mrs. Rose, you can proceed with the cross examination." Arthur said to the witch.
She turned and smiled at Harry and winked.
In the end, Draco was proved innocent there was not much evidence against him and yet there was not much evidence for the case to continue either, much to Harry and Arthur's defeat.
But for some reason the witch named Rosalie Evans looked oddly like Harry's Aunt and his mom. Her and Harry had had an instant bond with her. Everyone saw it. Ever since the case was presented, she was asked to be the prosecuting attorney. She definitely knew what she was doing, there was just no evidence against Draco that was the problem.
They went home defeated. Sirius leading the way. He invited Rosalie for dinner.
"We have some news for you Harry." Sirius said. They were all sitting around the dinner table. It was quite dark outside. Nobody knew exactly what time it was.
"I'm sorry it's taken us so long for this case, but there was just no evidence." Rose said. Sirius smiled warmly at her. She returned the smile with shining green eyes remarkably like Harry's.
Ginny noticed this also and was watching carefully.
"Erm, Harry, you know that project I've been working on?" Sirius said. Harry nodded. "Well, she's it." He said smiling at Rosalie and taking her hand. Harry looked at them with a blank expression on his face.
"Ok... What's that supposed to mean?" Ron asked.
"Rosalie, is your aunt." Sirius said slowly.
Harry blinked twice. "What. How..?" He started.
"Ok let me start from the beginning. I knew she was related to you the minute I saw her. I just knew it had to be more than a coincidence. I mean, look at her, she looks just like Lily." Sirius said smiling at her.
"Oh stop it Sirius." Rose said smiling. She smiled warmly at Harry.
Harry glared at her. He was not happy about this at all.
"Harry, my sisters were Lily and Petunia. My parents had all three of us and when we grew up, I was put on special assignment as an undercover agent for the Prime Minister in the Muggle world. I had no idea what was going on back home because Lily and James had gone into hiding. Petunia never ever talked about you, or her for that matter. I couldn't keep in contact with anyone and it was just a big mess." Rose said.
Harry looked at her. "How come Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon never mentioned you then?" Harry asked. He was starting to calm down.
"Harry, you know your aunt and uncle just as well as I do. They wanted nothing to do with me because I was a witch also. However, I chose the Muggle way and I went to a private school over in Europe who taught magic. You know it well - Beauxbatons." She said.
Harry and Hermione's jaws dropped at this. "So you speak French well then?" Hermione asked excitedly.
"Fluently." Rose said smiling.
"Sirius and I have been working on a project with the weapon that we can not disclose to you yet, only because we have not figured it out. Once we do, we will tell you everything. I am sorry I have stayed out of your life for this long Harry." Rose said honestly.
Harry could tell she was being honest because of her eyes. They were exactly like him and his mum's. He nodded. "I just need some time to, you know, get used to it." Harry said smiling. S he smiled back as well as Sirius.
"I'm glad you are ok with me and not angry I expected you would be furious you look just like James though." Rose said smiling.
Harry gave her a hug. "I am happy I have an aunt that actually wants me around." Harry said smiling.
"Well you always will have Sirius and I." She said smiling warmly at Sirius. Sirius squeezed her hand.
"Well today has been quite the day and I am exhausted." Hermione said getting up. Ron moved to help her.
"When are you due Hermione?" Rose asked smiling at her.
"June 1st." She said.
"She's getting bigger and bigger every day." Ron said smiling at her.
"Ron!" Hermione said tears filling her eyes.
"Hermione, it was a compliment." Ron said now thoroughly confused. Hermione ran in the other room crying.
Ginny glared at him. "Nice going bro."
"She's also got a bit emotional too." He added as he left.
Harry and Ginny went up to Ginny's room. They made Harry's room into a room for Charlie and Anita, whom both had been very busy and kept to themselves lately.
Harry sat at the edge of the bed and looked out the window. He sighed heavily. Ginny came up and sat next to him. "What's bothering you Harry?" She asked.
"Everything but us." He said looking at her. He took her hand.
She squeezed it gently. "Then forget about everything but us." She said smiling. "Were getting married! Were finally going to be able to spend out entire lives together. Just the two of us." Ginny said sighing.
Harry smiled gently at her. "I love you." He said.
"I love you too." Ginny said.
He kissed her soft lips. "I love your eyes. So deep." Harry said sighing as he stared into Ginny's eyes. He looked around for the bag with the engagement ring. He got up and got the box and got down on one knee. He opened the box to reveal a beautiful white gold diamond ring.
Ginny sighed smiling warmly at him. She held out her hand. Harry slid the ring on her finger and looked up in her eyes. "Whatever we face," Harry said.
"We will face together." Ginny ended. They kissed.
Every time they kissed their was more fire and more passion than ever before. He drew the curtains around the bed creating a glow from the candlelight. It gave of a very romantic ambiance.
Ginny kissed his scar and then moved down to his neck. She was lying down on the bed his arms were wrapped protectively around her. "Don't let go of me." Ginny whispered.
Harry obeyed.
Harry gently removed her robes and she removed his. If there was ever a love that was more passionate in the wizard world, it was that of Harry Potter and Ginny Weasley. Harry lay naked on top of her as she rubbed her hands up and down his soft skin. Harry got goosebumps everywhere her hands touched.
Staring lovingly into each other's eyes, Harry sighed heavily. Ginny nodded for him to enter her. He did so. She gasped remembering the exhilarating feeling of being one with the person who you are meant to be with.
Harry moved in motion with her, still holding her close.
After what seemed like an hour they finished sweating and tired. Together with Ginny resting her head on Harry's chest they fell asleep.
A few weeks went by quickly February had rolled around faster than anyone could imagine. Harry had gotten to know Rose a lot better and they fast became close. It was two weeks since Harry had proposed. Ginny was feeling odd . She ached all over, she was always tired. She looked peaky.
"Ginny can I talk to you for a minute?" Hermione asked holding her stomach.
Together the girls decided to go for a walk. "Ginny what's wrong? You said you haven't been feeling well for a few days now. Have you ..you know. Had your time yet?" Hermione asked blushing a little.
"No." Ginny sighed. "I don't know what's wrong. I feel sick. I am always hungry. My boobs hurt really bad." She said.
Hermione nodded. "When was the last time you and Harry. You know..." Hermione asked.
"About two weeks ago I think." Ginny said.
Hermione sighed. "Ginny, I think your pregnant." Hermione said.
Ginny's eyes went wide. "Hermione, I cant get pregnant now!" She cried.
Hermione was taken aback by her sudden outburst. T ears started flowing down her cheeks. "Why not? You and Harry are engaged anyway and you said so yourself a while ago that you wanted one." Hermione said.
"I mean, I want one, yes oh so badly, but oh my gosh Hermione I just don't know!" Ginny said crying into her shoulder.
Ginny was a lot more emotional than Hermione was at that stage. "Well there's only one way to find out." Hermione said. Together the girls went to St. Mungo's Maternity ward and sat down for their appointment.
"The Healer will see you now Ms. Granger." The witch smiled at them. Ginny's face was red from crying.
Together they walked in and sat down. A few minutes later a witch with black hair and brown eyes came in and smiled. "My name is Megan." She said.
Ginny smiled.
"Megan, I'm actually not here for me. I'm here for my best friend. We need a pregnancy test." Hermione said smiling. She squeezed Ginny's hand who was breathing nervously.
"Your pregnant!" Megan said a few minutes later. Tears started streaming down Ginny's already tear stained face. Hermione hugged her tightly.
"This is so great!" Hermione said happily.
"You're not just pregnant with one baby. You're having twins Ms. Weasley." Megan said happily.
Hermione gasped. Ginny started crying harder. Together they went home happier than ever. Harry was in the living room. She went in and hugged Harry tightly. Hermione crying with her.
"Ginny, what's wrong?" Harry asked.
"Nothing! Harry you better sit down." Ginny said sniffling and smiling.
Harry sat down with a worried expression on his face.
"Harry, were having twins!" Ginny squealed.
Harry smiled gently at her. "I have a song for you to listen to." He pulled a guitar out of the side of the room. It started playing magically. "
It's beautiful." She said."
Harry offered his had. Ginny took it and he pulled her into the middle of the living room. Sirius, Rose, and Ron all came in the room to see what is going on.
Harry and Ginny started dancing romantically to the music. Then Harry started to sing, suprising everyone
The strands in your eyes that color them wonderful
Stop me and steal my breath
Emeralds from mountains thrust toward the sky
Never revealing their depth
Tell me that we belong together
Dress it up with the trappings of love
I'll be captivated
I'll hang from your lips
Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above
I'll be your crying shoulder
I'll be love suicide
I'll be better when I'm older
I'll be the greatest fan of your life
Rain falls angry on the tin roof
As we lie awake in my bed
You're my survival, you're my living proof
My love is alive not dead
Tell me that we belong together
Dress it up with the trappings of love
I'll be captivated I'll hang from your lips
Instead of the gallows of heartache, that hang from above
I'll be your crying shoulder
I'll be love suicide
I'll be better when I'm older
I'll be the greatest fan of your life
I've been dropped out, burned up,
fought my way back from the
dead
Tuned in, turned on,
Remembered the things that you said
I'll be your crying shoulder
I'll be love suicide
I'll be better when I'm older
I'll be the greatest fan of your life
And then he kissed her.
