Harry walked down the halls satisfied that she finally cracked down and went to the level her wanted her to be in after she refused him. He took something from her yesterday and had that claim over her that nobody knew of. He knew that if she can't be his then she couldn't be anyone's. His plans were going smoothly and he waited for two weeks because after the two weeks his claim would be known to everyone.

"Hey guys." Harry said sitting next to them in potions.

"Hey, did you see Jade this morning?" Hermione asked and Harry nodded.

"She was breaking my heart." Harry said, feigning a sigh.

"Mine too." Ron said rubbing his face.

Malfoy looked around and knew something was wrong. Jade didn't come to dinner last night and he saw Ginny and Hermione look like they were crying. Ron looked deeply upset over something but they would pass by everyone nodding and telling them she was doing well. Malfoy was definitely sure that something happened in the Alley he told her not to go.

Jade was let out later on that day to resume her classes but she was taken care of carefully. Madame Pomferey told her that she should expect to be pregnant but she would have to check back in two weeks to make sure. Jade was left shaken about the thoughts of having a child.

"Herm, Harry and I made sure you didn't fall behind so we did your homework and made copies of the notes for you." Ron said and Jade smiled seeing Harry and Hermione smile back at her.

"Thank you, guys." Jade said feeling emotional again.

"It's ok really." Hermione said rubbing her back.

Jade entered the Great Hall and practically everyone heard that day that she was raped. Jade couldn't look at anyone there so she sat down quietly and ate not conversing too much. The group that would usually talk and laugh a lot stood quiet and gloomy and this happened for a couple of days. In classes people would smile and hold doors for Jade and she smiled at them thanking them. Jade would be petrified going alone anywhere so she had someone always with her anywhere she went. Jade saw Malfoy a few of times passing through the halls and she would feel bad and felt herself berating herself for not listening to him. They would never talk but he would give her a glance and leave off. Two weeks passed by quickly and Jade found herself taking her pregnancy test.

"Just a moment Jade." Pomferey said lightly spinning the flask. It turned blue and Pomferey looked at Jade. "You're pregnant." she announced. Jade had prepared herself to hear that and nodded.

"I'll tell my mother." Jade said getting up. She wrote a quick note to her mother and told Ron, Hermione, Ginny and Harry who were all shocked. Harry sat there feeling shocks go through his body and the idea of him being a father.

"Will you keep it?" Ginny asked and Jade gave a small nod.

"What?! Why would you keep the baby of a man you never knew? That man is nobody and you want to keep HIS baby?" Ron asked and Jade shook her head. "I've put a lot of thought in this Ron. I don't care who the hell he is but the child is mine! He's a part of me and I won't kill him." Jade said. Harry sat there looking and biting his nail nervously.

"We'll see when Mum gets here." Ron said giving up and leaving.

"Ron…" Jade called but Ron left.

Later on the day, Jade had met her mother and father and they all sat and talked with Dumbledore about the baby.

"Ron doesn't want me to keep the baby." Jade told them.

"I know how he is sweetheart but we're put in such a situation that it's right to abort the baby…but it's also wrong." Molly said.

"Mum I understand but what has the baby got to do with any of this? If it's to abort someone it should be the…man who impregnated me." Jade said sitting with her hands folded thinking it was wise not to curse in front of her Headmaster and parents.

"She has a point there Molly." Arthur said.

"Daddy what do you think about this?" Jade asked.

"Honey…a part of me wants you to throw away the mistake a man forced upon you but a part of me wants you to save an innocent life." Arthur said.

"Keep the baby, Jade." Molly said as everyone turned their heads to her.

"What?" Jade asked her mother.

"Keep the baby. I have never, do not, and never will believe in abortion." Molly said putting her hands up.

"Molly are you sure?" Arthur asked.

"Yes Arthur, but Jade you need to get married. That's my only condition." Molly said.

"But Mum…where-"

"Not now but you must get married. This child will not grow up without a father figure in his or her life." Molly said. Jade took a deep breath and let it out seeing her life unraveling so quickly in front of her.

"Mum I would need time for this." Jade said looking at her Mum. "I should have a say on whom I get married to. I shouldn't be forced into a marriage." Jade said. "Yes of course. Well…I'll just have to let you know if your father and I find any suitors." Molly said.

"I love you both." Jade said.

"We love you too." Arthur said putting his hand on her head.

"Take care of yourself dear." Molly said and Jade nodded trying to force back the tears. Jade left and went to her common room to find Ron.

"Ron! Ron!" Jade yelled looking around.

"What happened Jade? Why are you calling Ron?" Harry asked going towards her.

"I…Ron needs to know that I have to get married." Jade said to him.

"Married? To who?" Harry asked.

"I don't know. Mum says she wants me to get married before the baby's born." Jade said looking around for Ron.

"Ron's outside on the grounds." Harry said and Jade ran out. She ran in the hallways passing by people and saw a glimpse of red hair next to Hermione's wavy brown hair.

"Ron!" Jade called. Ron turned around and saw Jade running towards them. "Ron!" Jade yelled.

"Jade! What happened? What did Mum say?" Ron asked holding her shoulders.

"I have to get married." Jade said softly. Hermione gasped and Ron stared at her obviously in shock.

"So you're keeping it?" Ron asked turning towards Hermione. Hermione gave him a small smile and nodded putting a hand on his shoulder.

"Ron please don't get mad." Jade explained.

"I understand." Ron said quietly.

"You do?" Jade asked and he nodded.

"I do…thanks to some help." Ron said motioning his head towards Hermione. Hermione smiled and Jade had a great appreciation for her.

"Thanks." was all she could get out. They all went back into the common room and discussed about it.

"Marriage isn't a joke…we don't want you to marry someone that you don't know and wouldn't be supportive of this." Hermione said.

"Yeah…I doubt anyone would want to marry me." Jade sighed. Harry leaned forward and listened to them very carefully. "I'm not begging for a husband. I'm not like that. I just have to set up a family for myself before everyone else." Jade said feeling herself come to tears again.

A few days later, Jade woke up in the morning and saw the girls sleeping so she left them alone and got up to leave early. Jade walked down the stairs wrapping her sweater around herself and feeling calmer than she ever had since the terrible ordeal that had befallen on her. Everything was very quiet and she walked quietly down the steps seeing Harry sleep on the sofa. Jade stood next to him and felt his smooth skin with the back of her hand. Harry felt someone touch his face and he opened his eyes to see Jade smile and quickly take her hand back embarrassed.

"Sorry…I saw you sleeping here and…" Jade trailed off and Harry took her hand back and placed it on his cheek.

"It feels good." he said and Jade smiled.

"Sit." Harry said moving over and pulling her next to him. Jade sat with her hand still on his cheek and he made himself comfortable by putting his head on her lap.

"What are you doing here so early?" Harry mumbled and Jade smiled.

"Oh…I don't know. Just woke up. Why were you sleeping here?" Jade asked.

"Woke up early…got ready and came down here to kill time and ended up sleeping." he said. Jade sat there as he thought how he would ask her the most important question of their lives.

"How's the search for your husband going?" Harry asked and felt Jade stop.

"I don't know…I'm afraid I'll make a mistake and repent my whole life." Jade said.

"What are you looking for in someone?" Harry asked getting up and looking into her eyes.

"Someone that would take care of me and my child. Someone who wouldn't think of my child as a bastard but their own. I want love not money. I want that person to be my good friend and someone I can always talk to." Jade said letting a few tears slip.

"I would never imagine me being in such a spot in my life. This ruined me and…it's just devastating." Jade said letting Harry wipe her tears.

"Come…let's go outside." he said taking her out. They both walked down the hallways and Harry wrapped an arm around her shoulder.

"Jade…I want to tell you something. I don't think there would be anyone that would love you as much as I do. Seeing you like this wants me to help but I've always loved you and I still do. I want to be your best friend and help you and your child." he said touching her stomach "I'll make him or her one of my own. I'm doing this because I love you and promise you everything in this world." Harry said as Jade burst into tears. "I want you to be my wife and I want to spend the rest of my life with you and our child." Harry said kissing her hands. He bent down and held up a diamond ring.

"Marry me Jade?" he asked and Jade's mind went racing a million miles a second.

"I…I...have to ask my-"

"I've asked your parents and they couldn't be any happier." Harry said quickly.

Jade let out a small laugh and nodded smiling and crying at the same time. Harry smiled and slipped the ring on her finger and kissed her.

"I love you." he said kissing her.

Jade didn't love Harry but just had an admiration for him and knew that he made her happier than she was before. When they went to the Great Hall they both secretly told Ron, Hermione and Ginny that they were getting married. Jade smiled loving how the people she loved and cared about were smiling and so happy for the first time. Malfoy and everyone else noticed that the Golden group broke from their depression and were happier than they ever were. His eyes quickly swept to Jade's who looked fairly happy and watched Harry and Ron talk as Harry had his arms wrapped around her.

"Jade! Harry!" Molly called as they were in the common room after classes.

"Mum!" Jade yelled running to her mother. "Dear, we heard you said yes to Harry's proposal." she said and Jade nodded smiling.

"This morning." Jade said smiling as Harry came to her.

"Future mother in law." Harry acknowledged Molly who blushed and hugged him.

"Congratulations to the both of you. I'm really happy for the both of you I really am but the wedding?" she asked and Harry nodded.

"It'll be a small wedding because Jade wanted it to be, and we'll have it this Saturday." Harry said.

"At the backyard of the Burrow." Jade said and Molly looked shocked.

"Our home?" Molly asked.

"Yes Mum…is that all right with you?" Jade asked.

"That's such a short notice…I-"

"Don't worry about anything Mum, I have a team available. All we need to do is get dresses and rings." Harry said, turning and smiling at Jade.

The few days that passed by before the wedding, went by smoothly. Jade chose a dress and they both bought rings and on Friday night Harry, Jade, Ron, Ginny and Hermione all left to get ready for the next day.

Jade stared out at the altar, feeling that things had moved too quickly and if marrying Harry would last like he promised. She bit her lip, trying to tell herself that she wasn't making the biggest mistake of her life.

"No peeking." Harry said in her ear and Jade jumped.

"Don't do that." Jade said smiling and he hugged her.

"Are you happy?" he asked and Jade nodded as he kissed her neck.

"Are you?" Jade asked back and heard him chuckle.

"Ecstatic." he said.

Jade turned around and put her hands on his chest looking into his emerald eyes. She never saw him in a different light but looking at him through a wife's eyes made her heart flutter softly seeing how handsome he really was. She gently touched his nose with hers and went to kiss him.

"I know it'll take a little time for you to adjust with me and fall in love with me but I like a challenge. I'm not called the Boy Who Lived for nothing." he joked and Jade smiled.

"I'm sorry Harry if it hurts you but give me some time." Jade said and Harry nodded kissing her.

"NO KISSING! You both are supposed to see each other tomorrow! Let's go eat dinner because you both have a whole lifetime of snogging and shagging." Fred said and Jade scoffed hitting him.

"Fred!" Jade said and the two men grinned with each other.

Fred laughed and kissed his sisters cheek and they all went downstairs to eat. Dinner was amazing to Jade who started to start loving any food that was given to her. They all talked about the wedding and Jade looked around and saw Fred, George with their girlfriends Cyra and Angelina. Bill with Fleur, Jennifer and Charlie, Ginny with Jay and Ron with Hermione. Jade bounced a beautiful baby girl in her arms named Enya from Charlie and Jennifer. Jade giggled hearing her squeak and fed her some mashed potatoes.

"Hey sweetie." Harry cooed next to Jade. Enya giggled and grabbed Harry's glasses and cracked it. Everyone in the table laughed and Harry grinned as Jade performed the Reparo spell on it for the umpteenth time. After dinner, the girls were all up in Jade's bedroom talking about Jade's life after marriage.

"Don't worry Jade; the honeymoon will just blow your mind." Jennifer said and Jade shook her head blushing.

"I'm not doing anything with Harry. Besides, we won't have a honeymoon because we're not like that." Jade said and they nodded.

"Do you love him?" Fleur asked and Jade looked a tad bit uncomfortable.

"No…but it'll hopefully work out." Jade said. They all stood up and went to sleep considering they needed their energy especially Jade who was going to walk down the aisle as Mrs. Potter. The wedding morning, Jade took a bite to eat and the girls sat her down and started doing her hair in curls and makeup. Jade smiled and looked down at her stomach and rubbed it. She wore her wedding dress and loved the soft and silky material that hugged her in the right places.

"Are we ready?" Molly asked doing the finishing touches on Jade. Everyone nodded and smiled seeing Jade so beautiful.

"My slippers." Jade said pointing to the white slippers. Fleur handed it to her and hugged her telling her she was beautiful. They took a few pictures and left to the backyard where only close family and friends were. The professors were all invited especially Dumbledore himself. Ron and Harry stood there talking to each other and everyone took their places.

The music started playing softly and Jade and Arthur both walked slowly down the aisle. Jade saw Ron and he winked at her and saw Harry standing there looking breathless. Arthur let her go and kissed her cheek and left as Jade held Harry's arms. Their hands were shaky and Jade looked at Harry who looked sharp and handsome in his black and white tuxedo. They said their vows and I do's and slipped their wedding bands on. When it was time to kiss, Harry lifted her veil and gave her a soft kiss and held her for a moment. Everyone clapped and smiled as the newlyweds walked down the aisle outside.

"We're finally married." Harry said seeing her smile.

"Yes we are Mr. Potter." Jade said receiving a kiss. Everyone came out and congratulated the newlyweds and took pictures as Arthur, Dumbledore and the rest turned the altar into a reception. Neville, Luna, Dean, Seamus and a few other friends from school took pictures and congratulated them also.

"Come let's all go to the reception." Molly said guiding everyone to their reception.

"How do you feel like being Mrs. Jade Potter?" Harry asked as they both swayed to the music as husband and wife.

"Like Mrs. Jade Potter." Jade said seeing him chuckle.

"Did you like the wedding?" Harry asked and Jade nodded saying she loved it.

"How did you know cheesecake was my favorite?" Jade asked and he grinned.

"I wanted to make you happy so I asked your Mum." Harry said and Jade laughed.

"I love you." Harry said kissing her. Jade found her heart jump to her throat and beat fast there. His lips caressed hers and Jade loved them because he was so gentle on her. Everything he did was so sweet and considerate and it all made her happy. She just wished there wasn't something bad around the corner.

After the wedding was done the whole family was exhausted and so happy for Jade and Harry which seemed like their life was perfectly set.

"I'm tired." Jade said yawning.

"Yeah so am I…it's blimey its two." Harry said checking his clock.

"We should go to sleep…we have to go back to school Monday." Ron said yawning.

"Mmm…Ron did you finish your homework?" Hermione asked as everyone smirked seeing the couple.

"Herm! My sister got married today! I'll do it tomorrow." Ron said and Ginny giggled.

"I didn't even…er I mean I did it obviously." Ginny said nervously seeing Hermione quickly turn towards her.

Jade and Harry wished everyone a good night and retired to their room. Jade saw Harry close the door behind him and stood there, wondering what was next.

"Go and change…we'll sleep." Harry said gently and Jade nodded appreciating that he didn't push her into something she didn't want to do. Jade slipped into her long nightgown and took off all her makeup and brushed her teeth feeling relieved. She opened the door with her dress on a hanger and saw Harry shirtless, his back towards her taking off his watch.

"Back?" Harry asked turning his head towards Jade.

"Yeah…just let me hang this up." Jade said hanging her wedding dress in her closet.

"It's beautiful…so was the wedding." Jade said and Harry smiled walking to her.

"Sleep and I'll come back." he said cupping her face and kissing her ever so gently.

She slipped into the covers and heard Harry come back and slip into the covers with her kissing her shoulder. Jade turned around and saw his green eyes glitter in the darkness. She wrapped her arms around him and let him hold her.

"Good night." Jade said kissing him.

"Night." he said.

In the morning, Jade woke up to Harry sleeping right next to her snoring. She giggled and got up running her hand through his hair. She looked at him for a few moments and thought that she was actually lucky to have him in her life. He always cared about her and vowed to take care and raise the baby she was having from another man. It probably took a man with a large heart to take her in like that and Jade thought there couldn't be anyone sweeter than he was. Jade kissed him on his lips and rested her head against his chest hearing him wake up.

"Hey…" Harry said yawning and blinking.

"Hey…I'm sorry did I wake you up?" Jade asked and he nodded but smiled as she said sorry.

They both talked for a while and Jade got up saying she would go to the bathroom. Harry was lying there on his back wondering he really did love Jade and finally had what he wanted. He looked at his ring and sighed almost feeling bad that he raped Jade and forced her into a marriage but his feelings changed quickly and he didn't feel sorry for anything. He was waiting for this baby to be born and after the baby was born, he'll show her who he really was. Jade came out showered and fresh and he got up going into the bathroom.

"Harry I'm going downstairs ok?" Jade asked and she heard an ok from the bathroom. Jade went downstairs after making the bed and saw a partial of her family.

"Where are the others?" Jade asked seeing Ron, Hermione, Ginny, Molly, Arthur, Jennifer and Fleur.

"Bill and Charlie are obviously sleeping like rocks… you can't even wake them up if the house was on fire." Ginny said and everyone laughed.

"Oh I remember that time." Ron said.

"And I presume that the others are also sleeping?" Jade asked and Ron shook his head.

"They're sleeping with each other." Ron said as Molly smacked his head.

"Ronald!" the women chorused.

"Where's your husband?" Hermione asked smiling as everyone smiled at Jade who turned red.

"He's coming." Jade managed to stutter out.

"Who?" Harry asked coming up from behind her. He circled his arms around her waist and put his chin on her shoulder.

"Well GOOD MORNING everyone!" Ginny said and they all chuckled.

"We were just wondering where you were…and you're here. Mum what are we going to eat today?" Jade asked as Harry played with her rings on her left finger.

"Oh! Breakfast is ready. I must say yesterday was splendid. I'm just so tired…" Molly said zooming all of the plates on the table. After breakfast, everyone had left leaving Ron, Harry, Jade, Hermione and Ginny. Molly told the kids she would be out shopping and would come back later. The rest of the day was normal considering nothing really happened and there was a lot of conversing and doing their homework.

"This weekend was quick and fun." Hermione commented.

"Yeah…real quick." Jade said nodding looking out the window. Harry looked at her and didn't say anything but just rub her back.
