Here's another one! Enjoy!
Disclaimer: hmm... Now what would I do if I owned the Harry Potter characters... lot's of things!
"Hermione, I need to tell you something." Ginny said as she walked with her sister-in-law holding her nephew looking at baby clothes for him.
"What is it? Hey how about this on Alex?" Hermione asked. She held up a yellow jumper.
"No, it'll look horrible against his hair. The blue maybe." Ginny said. She shifted Alex to her other hip.
"Maybe, what did you want to tell me?" Hermione asked.
"How did you know you were pregnant with Alex?" Ginny asked.
"Oh that was easy… Ron made coffee one morning and I couldn't stand the smell."
"But you love coffee. That is absolutely weird since your British."
"I know, so that's how I knew something was up. However, three days later I realized I had missed my period and it was very clear to me then that I was going to have a baby. Why, do you think your pregnant?" Hermione asked. She picked up a little onsie with some sort of saying on it.
"Yeah, I do." Ginny said. Hermione froze.
"Gin, are you serious?" Hermione asked as she turned to look at Ginny.
"Yeah… I am."
"Is it Draco's?" Hermione asked.
"Of course it's Draco's! Who else do you think I have slept with?" Ginny asked.
"Gin… wow… well have you told him?" Hermione asked.
"No, not yet. But I'm planning on doing so tonight." Ginny said.
"Wow Gin. Congratulations! Do you want me to tell your mum?" She asked.
"No, I want to be sure that I am first." Ginny said.
"Wow Gin, you're going to be a mother!" Hermione said smiling.
"I know. I don't know how Draco will take it though. He just started working at his Father's company though and the Malfoy accounts are endless so I am not worried about finances. But I'm worried about how he will take it." Ginny said.
"I'm sure he'll be fine with it. Did you hear about Angie and Charlie?" Hermione asked.
"I heard they had hooked up." Ginny said.
"That's not all. He is taking her to Romania with her and he is going to marry her. And he wants to adopt her baby. And she said yes." Hermione said smiling.
"Are you serious? How awesome." Ginny said smiling.
"Yeah I know. I was so excited about it." Hermione said happily Alex started to whimper and then started to cry. Hermione took him.
"He's probably tired and hungry. I'm gonna go home and put him down for a nap. I'll see you Gin." Hermione said as she apparated away.
"Bye Hermione." Ginny said smiling. She started to look around the store some more. She had an idea about how she would break the news to Draco. She found a little light green onsie that said "I Love My Daddy" on it and just had to buy it. She had them wrap it up and then she left to cruise some more shops. Just as she stepped outside the shop, she was grabbed and she felt a wand at her throat. She gasped.
"Don't move or I will kill you." A voice rasped. Someone noticed before the man could get away with Ginny though and withdrew his wand.
"Sir, please step away from the woman." The man said.
"Stay away or she gets it." The man said backing up. More and more people were noticing. Ginny felt hot tears streaming down her face.
"Sir, put down your wand." The other man begged as he stepped closer.
"Get back!" The man holding Ginny ransom cried. Ginny noticed Aurors coming into view.
"Please, please don't hurt me." Ginny begged softly.
"Shut up! What did I tell you?" The man bellowed as he pressed the wand closer.
"Sir please, you don't want me. I am worth nothing." Ginny said.
"No, you are worth everything. I will finally get that family back for bailing on our Lord. It's not just me pet, there are others." The man hissed in her ear.
"Sir please, I have no clue what you are talking about." Ginny sobbed.
"Crucio!" Cried a voice from behind then. The man grunted and fell to the ground in pain. Ginny pitched forward and crashed to the ground. She quickly started to crawl away towards the crowd. Two men helped her up as a woman wrapped a blanket around her shoulders. She hadn't even noticed that she was shaking. She turned and noticed two Aurors standing over the man and Lucius Malfoy was walking towards her. He gently grabbed her arm.
"Are you all right?" He asked.
"Yes, I was shopping with Hermione, Alex got Cranky so she left, I left the store and he jumped me. He started talking about a family that betrayed his lord-" Ginny rambled.
"Let's get you to the manor." Lucius said as he picked up her bag and apparated away with her. Ginny found herself in Lucius's study and being ushered to a chair.
"I'll have an elf pack your things, you're not safe here." Lucius said as he called for an elf. Twinkle came rushing in.
"Twinkle, pack Miss Weasley's things. Have them sent to the summer flat in Italy immediately." Lucius said.
"What's going on, why am I leaving?" Ginny asked.
"That man didn't randomly pick you out of a crowd. He was looking for you. He knew of your relationship with Draco and he meant to hurt you." Lucius said.
"But why?" Ginny asked.
"Because my family turned traitor towards his Dark Lord during the war. Those men have been after us since. They target things that mean something to us. They started with my company, they gave it bad publicity, but people saw through it. Their wives targeted Narcissa's reputation. People saw through that too. Then they targeted Draco. Saying he raped their girls. There was no proof to support it so people paid no attention. Now they are after you. And I cannot let it happen. Virginia, until those men are captured you are not safe. I cannot let you get hurt. This is not just for Draco anymore. When I saw him holding you with his wand at your throat I did not see my house cleaner, or my son's girlfriend. I saw my daughter. I saw the girl that I have thought of as my own daughter. And it took me until then to realize that I could not stand watching you get hurt. Normally I am a cold and cruel man Virginia. I think you and your family know that better than anyone else. I have no feeling towards anything or anyone but my own family. And when I saw that man trying to hurt you, I saw red. Ginny, I cannot let you get hurt for my own actions. So I am putting you up in one of my summer homes for the time being. I will tell your family that you are safe and not to worry. I will check up frequently one you." Lucius said. He rushed to his desk.
"Lucius." Ginny said softly. He stopped. She had used his real name.
"Yes?" He asked.
"I'm pregnant." Ginny said. Lucius's heart stopped.
"What?" He rasped out.
"I'm pregnant. I'm having Draco's baby. That day last week when he was late, it was because of me. I… kept him longer than we had meant to." Ginny said. Lucius rushed to her and wrapped his arms around her. She was shaking.
"If… if those men knew about the baby. They would try to hurt it wouldn't they?" Ginny sobbed.
"Yes Ginny, they would. This news is all the more reason to get you to a safe house. I'll come everyday to check up on you and I will send a house elf to be with you in case the baby comes and I'm not there. You'll be fine Ginny. I promise." Lucius said. Ginny hoped so. It hadn't been fine since her father died.
