Chapter 30: Things Going Downhill

Note: Here's to those that reviewed, love you.

To Princess Star Neko: Harry wasn't of age to ask for Ginny's hand so she had to agree to be Snape's wife. Also Dumbledore believed that she would be in grave danger if she was Harry Potter's wife.

To the Jersey Girl Next Door: Ginny does care for Severus, but she doesn't want him to be with her under the influence of a potion.

To everyone else: Thanks

Severus woke up with a pounding headache and the feeling that something had happened that he didn't know about. He moaned and turned over and then he let out a horrible yell. Ginny was sound asleep, a smile on her face. He also noticed that both of them were naked, the smell of sex everywhere. He moaned again. What had happened last night?

As he thought this over he realized that now Ginny was really his wife. In the Wizarding world couples remained married, but separated. He wondered if that would happen when Ginny woke up. He turned all this over in his mind until the call to go to work beckoned. He would have to wait until later to see what she thought.

Ginny woke up after the slamming of a door woke her from her restful sleep. She looked around for her husband, but didn't see him. Ginny felt a little upset that he didn't stay and wait until she woke up. She had to tell him that he had been under the effects of a lust potion and that she didn't blame him for what he had done. She showed and then headed up to the castle.

When Ginny arrived at the castle she saw her mother. Mrs. Weasley made Ginny moan in horror. What was she doing here and what plan did she have?

"Ginny," Mrs. Weasley called out.

Ginny muttered something that her mother couldn't hear.

"Mum, I've got lessons," Ginny said coldly. "What do you want?"

Mrs. Weasley smiled at her.

"I just came to see how Ron was doing, that's all," Mrs. Weasley told her. "But since you're here I need to talk to you."

"Well I don't have time," Ginny snapped. "I'm helping my husband brew the Wolfbane Potion for Remus. So I don't want to take up his time."

Mrs. Weasley's face turned ugly.

"And why is that more important then talking to your mother?"

Ginny gave her an ugly look.

"Do you want me to answer that," she snapped. "Now excuse me."

And she was gone.

Lavender and Neville went up to the hospital wing so that Madam Pomfrey could check her over. She was nearly three weeks into her pregnancy and Neville had been such a help when Lavender needed it. Having him with her while she went to visit Madam Pomfrey made this trip bearable.

"Lay back and I'll examine you," she told her. She rounded on Neville. "You stay on the other side of that curtain."

Neville gulped and did as he was told.

While he waited he went to visit Ron, who was on the other side of the wing. Ron looked sour and Neville wondered why. Ron turned when he approached.

"What are you doing here, Neville?" Ron asked.

"Just taking a friend up here," Neville said. "So are you going to be alright?"

Ron snorted.

"It's their entire fault!" he stated.

"All who?" Neville asked.

"The Snape's and the Lupin's," Ron answered. "Those two families are rotten to the core. You stay away from them."

"But their my friends," Neville protested.

Ron gave him a dirty look.

"Whose side are you on, Neville?" he asked.

"I'm not on anyone's side," Neville protested. "I'm just tell you that their my friends."

"Well if their your friends then you can leave me alone."

And he turned away from him.

"Where all done here," Madam Pomfrey told Neville as Lavender got up. "No problems, but I want to see her next week."

"Yes, mame," Neville said.

And both of them left.

Professor Dumbledore was in his office, looking over plans when there was a knock on the door.

"Enter," he called.

The door opened and Eileen Snape entered a huge smile on her face.
