Chapter 31: A Shock For Everyone

"So what are you doing here, Eileen?" Dumbledore asked.

Eileen grinned at him and then sat down.

"Well I came by to have a little chat with my son," Eileen told him. "Tobias has died and I needed to get married before someone decided to hand me over to some strange wizard that I didn't know. So I got married to Alister Moody and he makes me so happy."

Dumbledore stared at her and then burst out laughing. Eileen stared at him, confused.

"What's so funny?" Eileen asked.

"Oh I can just imagine Severus face when he finds out that his stepfather is Alister Moody," Dumbledore managed to say while pounding his fist on the desk. "Oh that is going to be priceless."

Eileen grinned at him.

"Well, I'm glad that we can have a laugh at his expense," Eileen said. "I'm also pregnant too."

Dumbledore stopped laughing and smiled at her.

"I'm happy for you," Dumbledore said.

"Thanks," Eileen said. "He treats me a lot better then Tobias did. Now speaking of my son, how's he doing?"

"Well," Dumbledore said. "He married Arthur Weasley's daughter. I did it for her protection, but I sense that something is going on between them."

Eileen suddenly looked interested.

"What kind of thing?"

"I don't know," Dumbledore said. "But I sense that something has changed between them."

Eileen grinned at him.

"Well let me know what happens," she told him. "I'm most interested in this girl that is married to my son. Is there any way that I can visit her?"

"Well I can talk to her at lunchtime," Dumbledore said. "Let her know that you want to talk to her."

Eileen stood up.

"Thanks for everything," Eileen said. "And I look forward to your letter."

And she was gone.

Ginny was glad that her mother hadn't followed her down into her husband's dungeons, as it would have made her husband mad. However her husband wasn't there when she arrived at his office. A note told her that he was out helping Professor Sprout with a plant that only he could handle. Sighing she turned around and headed back up to the entrance hall. When she didn't see her mother, she let out a sigh or relief.

Ginny went into the Great Hall and sat at the Gryffindor table. She wanted to have a chat with Neville and ask him how things were going with Lavender since he was helping her through her difficult time. However when she opened her mouth to speak, she felt the sudden urge to vomit. She rushed out of the Great Hall and threw-up outside. Once she was finished empting her stomach, she slowly walked back inside.

"Ginny," Hermione called out.

She looked up to see Hermione walking across the entrance hall, her arm full of books.

"Hi, Hermione," Ginny said weakly.

Hermione gave her a strange look.

"Ginny, you don't look so well," she informed her. "Why don't you head up to the hospital wing."

"Thanks, Professor," Ginny said.

And she slowly walked up the staircase and was soon out-of-sight.

Lavender, who had seen Ginny run out, wondered what was wrong with her. She hoped that she was alright and not coming down with the early flu. A sudden rush of owls appeared and dropped a letter in-front of Lavender. She opened it and read:

Mrs. Riddle,

We are please to inform you that you're free of Tom Riddle. However, we demand that you get married so that you can be protected.

Sincerely,

Lee Jordan.

Lavender's face lit up in excitement. Neville noticed.

"I'm free!" she said. "I'm free of him!"

She showed the letter to Neville who was just as excited as she was. Finally he spoke, his voice just as nervous when he was in Professor Snape's Potions class.

"Lavender, will you marry me?" he asked.

Lavender stared at him, but nodded. Neville felt on-top of the world.

"Well, I can tell you what's wrong with you," Madam Pomfrey said, after checking Ginny over.

"What's wrong?" Ginny asked, hoping that she wasn't coming down with something and going to die.

"You're pregnant," she said.

Ginny gasped and then passed out.

Note: I'm sorry about taking a little longer to post, but Chapter 30 didn't come out until over twelve hours later. This site is really messed up. Thanks to the Jersey Girl Next Door for your review. Yes, Eileen is Severus mum, Ginny is pregnant, and I don't think Ron cares. Next chapter: Ginny breaks the news to Severus, and stepfather meets with stepson. Oh this is going to be funny.
