Chapter 22
Pinky Promise?
TWO WEEKS AFTER THE WEDDING
"Knock, knock!" Ginny called.
"Ginny? Hi! Come in!" Hermione said excitedly as she pulled open the front door of her and Ron's flat. Harry had moved out and was staying with the Weasley's until he and Ginny moved into their house.
"Hi! Long time no see!" Ginny gave her friend a hug and shut the door behind her. "Where's that brother of mine?"
"Oh, he went into one of his classes quite a few hours ago." Hermione said vaguely as she bustled around the kitchen.
"Yeah, Auror training? Harry has those too. Odd timetables, right?"
"Yes, he went in at like, three in the morning the other day."
"How long have you been back?"
"Two days."
"Oh…so how are you? You look…different…" Ginny frowned.
"Oh do I? I didn't notice…" Hermione said distractedly.
"I figured you'd be a bit bitchy, actually." Ginny shrugged as she sat at the table.
"Wow thanks Ginny." Hermione handed her a glass of juice.
"Well it's the end of the month." Ginny took a sip of it.
"Oh, uhm, yeah, well I'm kind of not on it."
"What do you mean?" Ginny narrowed her eyes, raising the cup to her lips again.
"Ginny I think I'm pregnant." Hermione blurted out, making Ginny spray her juice all over the kitchen.
"WHAT?" Ginny coughed out.
"Don't freak out on me, Ginny." Hermione snapped, getting a towel to clean up the mess. Ginny grabbed her wrist.
"When were you due?"
"Last Monday."
"It's Thursday."
"No shit!" Hermione said, faking surprise. Ginny jumped in surprise at Hermione's tone.
"Hermione, you really think you're pregnant?"
"I think I would know, Ginny." Hermione wrenched her wrist away from Ginny's death grip.
"Well don't be bitchy at me!"
"You're the one who just said I should be!"
"Yeah if you were PMSing!" Ginny leapt from her chair, making it skid backwards several feet.
"I think I have a good reason to be bitchy!" Hermione stood firmly in front of the slightly shorter girl.
"THE HELL YOU DO!"
"EXCUSE ME?"
"What the bloody hell is going on?" Came a male voice. Hermione jumped a foot in the air and Ginny spun around so fast she nearly tripped over her own feet. Ron and Harry were both standing in the doorway, looks of shock and confusion on both of their faces. Hermione and Ginny looked at each other, both communicating without words that they'd talk about this later.
"Nothing, just girl stuff." Ginny said smoothly, gripping her left thumb in her right hand. Harry raised an eyebrow. "I think I'm going to head home. Hermione, I'll owl you later." Ginny said icily and before any of them could say anything Ginny spun around and Apparated to The Burrow. She turned and fled past her mother and up the stairs.
"Ginny? What's wrong?" Molly called out, but all she heard was Ginny's door slam. "Three, two, one—"
CRACK
"Molly! Where'd Ginny go?" Harry asked frantically. Mrs. Weasley pointed up the stairs and watched Harry run up them. She chuckled to herself as she went into the kitchen to fix dinner. Harry knocked on Ginny's door and heard her moving about angrily.
"Merlin…GO AWAY!" She yelled.
"Gin? It's Harry." The door swung open and Ginny pulled him inside, slamming the door shut again and locking it. "What happened?" He asked in concern.
"We just had a disagreement." Ginny waved a hand dismissively.
"Like hell! You did that thumb thingy that you do when you're lying! What happened?" He insisted.
"I'm going to tell you this in complete confidence, pinky promise." Ginny held up her pinky and Harry stared at her.
"Are you kidding?"
"Do I look like I'm kidding?" Ginny snarled. Harry jumped and wrapped his pinky around hers. "Good." She sighed, turned and fell backwards onto the bed. Harry sat down next to her legs.
"Okay, so tell me what's bothering you." Harry turned and lay on his stomach next to her. She tilted her head down and looked into his bright green eyes, filled to the rim with concern and worry. She smiled softly and ran her fingers through his jet black hair.
"I sure do love you, you know?" Harry raised an eyebrow.
"I love you too, but why are you upset?" Ginny sighed at his question and let her hand drop onto his shoulder.
"Hermione thinks she's pregnant." His reaction was different than she expected.
"Really?" He asked excitedly. Ginny rolled her eyes. "Wait, that's why you're upset?"
"Well not really that she's pregnant, it's just the way she approached it. I kind of freaked out, then she snapped at me, and I snapped back, and we just got into this argument." Ginny ran her hands over her face and groaned.
"That's it?" Harry asked.
"Well I kind of sprayed juice all over her kitchen too. Then I kind of asked her a couple pretty stupid questions and said a couple pretty stupid things..." Ginny mumbled into her hands. Harry was trying very hard not to smile.
"And so this is why you two were screaming at each other?" Ginny just nodded. "And now you feel—"
"Like a complete bitch that never seems to be happy for her best friend no matter what happens. She gets engaged, I get pissed, she gets pregnant, and I get pissed. What the fuck is the matter with me?" Ginny demanded angrily, sitting straight up and nearly whacking Harry in the face with her shoulder. Harry sat up as well and turned her towards him.
"You want to know what I think?" Ginny just nodded, suddenly looked very teary. "I think that you are envious of those things." Ginny snorted.
"Harry, in case you haven't noticed, I am engaged."
"But you weren't when you got upset at Hermione for it. You weren't upset she didn't tell you, well that was part of it, but you also wanted that happiness for yourself. And the whole Hermione being pregnant. You told me you wanted kids more than anything, just like me. So Hermione getting there before you is just infuriating for you."
"But that doesn't mean I can't be a little happy for her!"
"Are you?" Harry asked simply. Ginny thought for a minute before a small smile graced her lips.
"Yeah, a bit." She nodded. Harry started to grin.
"A bit, huh?" He said, leaning forward, his grin spreading across his face, making Ginny's smile widen as well.
"Yeah…" Ginny laughed as he jumped at her and flattened her onto her back, pressing a kiss to her lips as she moved her legs for him to lie between.
"Do you feel better now?" Harry asked, kissing down her jaw line. Ginny sighed.
"Yes, Harry Potter worked his magic once again…so to speak." Harry laughed softly, sending shivers of air just under her ear.
"Oh, one more thing." Harry said, propping himself up on his arms and looking at Ginny. She raised her eyebrows for him to continue. "We're moving into our house tomorrow." He waited for Ginny's reaction. Three, two, one…
"AHHH! OH MY GOD REALLY?" She squealed after staring at him in shock. Harry nodded and kissed the tip of her nose. She threw her arms around his neck and turned them over, to where she was straddling him. She pressed her lips to his and kissed him fiercely. He opened his mouth and Ginny took the invitation, slipping her tongue between his lips and caressing his.
He moaned in response, running his fingers under the hem of her shirt. She raked her fingers up his chest, neck and up into his hair, gripping it tightly as they kissed. Ginny pulled back for air and Harry looked into her eyes. Some of her auburn locks had fallen out of her ponytail and were framing her face. Harry tucked the strands behind her ears and caressed her cheeks with his hands.
"I love you." He whispered, bringing her down for a tender kiss. She pulled away after a few moments.
"I love you too." She replied before leaning back down and capturing his lips with hers once more.
A/N: Yeah, kind of a rather pointless chapter here, but I was in the mood to write with no real point to it, so this chapter was really just a filler. Nonetheless I hope I still get reviews! I have updated three times in three days, I can't believe you all aren't peeing in excitement…hell I would be. Oh and this chapter is also dedicated to Azabaza and murp. They got the song right, but didn't leave their names so I couldn't put them in the chapter, so I decided to dedicate it to them too instead. Much love to my reviewers!
