Chapter Six
Ginny and Harry were on their way to the hospital wing to find out the sex of the baby. "I'll bloody murder the prat if he get's visitation to my baby." Ginny was still very upset over the custody hearing.
"Relax he won't. He raped you… and look at his record."
"That's all omissible in court Harry, because it's a muggle court we can't bring up his past." Ginny sighed, rubbing her stomach, "The only thing I can talk about is that he was convicted for my rape."
"Bastard." Harry mumbled angrily.
They arrived in the hospital wing and Madame Pomfrey had Ginny lie down on a bed, "Do you want Harry to be here Ginny?"
"Of course." Ginny answered bewildered. Madam Pomfrey took out her wand and cast a spell, there was a blinding blue light, then very quiet thumps.
"If you'll listen closely, that's his heartbeat."
"His?" Ginny and Harry asked at the same time.
"Yes, the light turned blue. It's a boy." Madam Pomfrey smiled.
"A boy…" Ginny smiled and looked at Harry.
"A boy." Harry smiled back at her, then kissed her forehead.
"Everything seems normal. You've got a healthy baby boy."
"Thank you Madame Pomfrey." Ginny pulled her shirt back down.
"Also… the court date has been set… to this Thursday." Madame Pomfrey said uneasily.
"This Thursday?" Ginny panicked.
"Don't be nervous dear. It should be rather cut and dry. I mean what Judge in their right mind would give custody to a rapist."
"Visitation…" Ginny mumbled, she and Harry leaving the Hospital Wing.
"Wow… Thursday." Harry sighed. They were stretched out together on Harry's bed.
"You're coming right Harry?"
Harry kissed Ginny's cheek, then her belly, "Of course I am."
Ron walked in, "Oh… sorry guys."
Ginny smiled, "It's okay, we just got back from the hospital wing, say hello to your nephew."
"Nephew? It's a boy?"
"Mhm." Ginny smiled and looked down at her belly, "You know, despite the circumstances he came about, I'm really glad I'm having this baby."
Harry kissed her forehead, "Me too."
Ginny rolled over to face Harry, "Are you sure? I mean… I want to finish school so next year you'll kind of be on your own, at least during weekdays, I'm sure I can arrange to come home for weekends."
Harry smiled, "I'll be fine don't worry."
Thursday came sooner than expected, Harry and Ginny were sitting in a Muggle courtroom in downtown London. Ginny's father and his team of Ministry workers had gone to a local hospital and modified some nurse and doctor's memory so they would have witnesses, this was okayed by Draco's lawyers because they were there to supervise what exactly the memories were modified to. Madam Pomfrey had done a wizarding rape kit and had it on file, she transferred it to a muggle rape kit and gave it to the ministry to file at the muggle hospital.
There really was no need to prove Draco had raped Ginny, because he was already convicted. But if it happened to come up, they were well equipped with legitimate muggle evidence. Draco's attorney spoke first, talking a lot of nonsense about family and nobility and the heir to the Malfoy fortune.
Harry had hired a lawyer for Ginny, he spoke next. He brought up Draco's sentence, how he was in a mental institute and not a jail, he was a certified sociopath and therefore shouldn't be around children. The child would be in danger near Malfoy, he also brought up that in similar circumstances convicted rapists normally lost custody of children they already had pre-rape, so having visitation to the child of a product of rape would be unorthodox and unethical.
When all the witnesses had been called and questioned, all the evidence brought out, and after each side had made their argument, the judge cleared his throat, "I'm going to need a minute in my chambers. I call a fifteen minute recess."
Ginny turned to Harry nervously, "What do you think?"
"I think there's no chance in hell Malfoy is going near my son, even if the judge says he can." Harry's hands were clapped together tightly, his knuckles turning white.
"Harry…" Ginny put her arm on his shoulder to comfort him, inside she was smiling. He had said 'my son', Ginny thought it would be strange for him, raising the child of another man, but as it turns out it was second nature to Harry. Ginny looked down at her stomach, it looked like she was hiding a basketball under her shirt.
The judge came back, Ginny sat somberly waiting. She started to sweat a little and she rested a protective arm over her stomach, finally the judge spoke, "This was a very difficult case indeed… although the child was conceived in a very violent manor it is a father's right to see his child. But this isn't a normal case, usually the rapist is someone who the person trusted at some point, someone who knew the victim well… because of the relationship between the victim and the rapist, or lack there of, and because the father is in a mental institute I can't bring myself to let this child grow up in and out of visiting rooms at a criminally insane ward. I'm sorry Mr. Malfoy but I can't grant visitation, once the child is eighteen if they choose to they can come visit you but until then I order no contact with Miss Weasley or her child." The judge banged is gavel.
Malfoy jumped up and glared at Ginny, "Harry… let's go." Ginny stood up and grabbed Harry's hand, rushing out of the courtroom.
"I'LL SEE MY CHILD IF IT'S THE LAST THING I DO!" Malfoy yelled after them.
A/N: Ooooh menacing eh? you didn't really think I'd let Malfoy have visitation did you? Lol. Hope you enjoy and please R/R
