A/N : Well, I guess we're at an era where people just don't like reviewing anymore?? But really, How do people know others want to read what they have to write if no one comments on it? Just a thought. Also I noticed my first chapter was missing the breaks because the dumb site doesn't let them be put in…if anyone knows how to put in page breaks that show up here? I would love to know!! But for now, x's will have to do.

"What do you mean leaving? Where are you going? You can't leave you just…you just came back." Ginny tried to search his eyes for some clue but he kept his gaze above her head.
"I just…don't…I don't feel right. I don't feel like things are…good." His fingers lingered on her back. Trying desperately to pull her close while knowing he should be trying to push her away.
"How can things not be good? You killed him. He's dead. How can there be any more evil?"
"I don't know if there is any more, I just know what I feel and I don't feel right. It doesn't feel good, it doesn't feel peaceful. I need to find out why." Ginny wrenched herself from his arms. She didn't want to cry. She didn't want to yell. She didn't want to be hurt. So she wasn't and she didn't. "You look disappointed Gin."
"Gee, I wonder why." She turned and started to walk away from him.
"Ginny wait! Please." She whipped to face him her face turning as red as her hair.
"I've been waiting Harry. I waited for years! I waited to be someone other than Ron's little sister. I waited to be someone you could see as someone you could love. I waited for you to follow all the things Dumbledore set out for you to do. I waited for you to finish the war. I waited! Because I knew how stressed you were. You needed to do this alone. I wanted to be with you, support you, care for you, I loved you this whole time. I'll always love you. But Harry…" She took a few steps backwards from him. "I can't keep waiting for you."
"Ginny cant you see I'm doing this for you? For us?" Harry yelled after her. "I want to make thinks perfect for us and I can't do that when I know things aren't."
"Do you though Harry? Do you know things aren't good?" she yelled back.
"Well-."
"I wont wait just because you feel like I should. So it's now or never. It's me," she threw both hands into the air and spun around. "Or the world."
They kept each others eye contact for a minute before she turned and headed back to the house leaving Harry to his thoughts. His scar prickled under the skin, but he chose to ignore it. Shoving his fingers through his hair he closed his eyes and swore.
"I choose you then Ginny." He turned to the Burrow. "DO YOU HEAR ME? I CHOOSE YOU!"

The fireplace gave off warmth that filled the entire room yet held no flame. The heat instead emitted from the palm held directly above it as a dark magic rolled off her finger tips. Bellatrix flexed her fingers, a violet glow pouring from her fingers. After a moment she stopped and pulled her hand back to protectively place it atop her protruding abdomen
"Of all the places to stay Bellatrix, why did you choose here? Damp, dark, musky…no place to raise a child."
"This is not just any place Narcissa. This was his home. This was where he was born and raised. His child shall be raised here as well."
"Here?" she looked around. "In this run down piece of rubble?" Bellatrix glanced over at her sister. Her eyes red and swollen.
"He had it destroyed shortly after coming back. Burned it, cursed it…it's filled with dark magic. His magic. That is why the baby must be born here." Narcissa bent down to pick up a charred doll, it's arms and a leg torn off.
"Bella, you know I'm only here because you're my sister. I will not be apart of what ever evil plan you have in store."
"You would betray your heritage? You would betray your master simply because he is no longer here? Soon his power will return and you will be called on for assistance."
"I will not cause any more trouble for my family. I wish only to stay out of the publics light and keep to ourselves." She reached out and touched Bellatrix's shoulder. "But you're my baby sister. And I am here for you and the baby. Not the evil you wish to bring into it's life. Bella, it's a miracle you managed to survive. Please, please don't do something foolish."
Bellatrix shrugged her sisters hand away and turned to face her. Ignoring all she had said.
"Do you remember the plan?"
"I wont breathe a word to anyone."
"Not even Lucius." She sneered his name.
"Not even my husband."
"Not until it's time." Narcissa walked away from the rubble to a patch of grass several feet away.
"Bella…I wish you would just forget this and come home." She apparated and was gone from the scene. Bellatrix smiled and licked her lips, a snake like tongue running across the dry surface.
"And I wish you would remember where home really lies.

Hermoine twisted in the mirror, looking at herself from all angles. Her shirt stretched taunt over her belly and she looked ready to pop at any minute. She signed and groaned as she tried to squat, bend over and raise a leg.
"Well this is rather annoying…" finally deciding that all the above feats were near impossible at this condition she smoothed the hair from her face and focused on how she would break the news to her parents. "Well…mum…dad…you know how you always said you couldn't wait for a grandchild to spoil? Well…ta-da!" she mumbled under her breath and tried again. "mum? Daddy? I uh…well, we…I mean, me and Ron…Oh bloody hell!" she yelled as she punched the mirror. Her hand trickled lightly with blood as broken glass fell to the ground. Turning she sat on the bed and pulled the pillow out from under her shirt. "I hate this!" she screamed. "I HATE THIS!"
Drawing her knees to her chest she rocked herself as she sobbed quietly.
Ron gently shut the door the crack he had had it open and set the bouquet of flowers down in front of the door.
"Nice job mate…you really did a job here didn't you."
