Chapter 32: Strange Meetings

Severus headed back to the castle, glad that Professor Sprout hadn't done something stupid to the plant and caused it to be unusable. As he entered the entrance hall he saw Hermione chatting with Professor McGonagall and shook his head. Those two had gotten even closer since this whole Marriage Law had come out. Hermione turned to him and motioned him forward.

"What do you want, Mrs. Lupin?" Severus asked.

"Well, Ginny isn't feeling good and I was hoping that you would go up there and see what's wrong with her."

Severus snorted at her, but the look that she gave him told him that she really wanted to find out what was wrong with her.

"Alright, I'll go," Severus said coldly. "But don't think I'm doing it because I care."

Hermione smiled at him.

"Of course not, Severus, I wouldn't dream of making people think you had a heart."

Severus swore at her and then stormed off. Both Professors's laughing.

When Severus arrived at the hospital wing he noticed that Ginny was setting up, but looking pale. Madam Pomfrey gave him a dark look, which he couldn't tell if she really hated him or was hiding something. He glared at her and then turned to face his wife.

"Mrs. Lupin wants me to find out what's wrong with you," he told her.

Ginny bit her lip.

"So what's wrong with you?"

"Like you would care," Ginny snapped.

Severus stared at her. What was going on here?

"You better tell him," Madam Pomfrey told her.

Ginny looked down at her feet.

"I'm pregnant, Severus," Ginny said.

Severus stared at her for a moment, not sure that he heard her right.

"What again," Severus said.

"I'm pregnant," Ginny repeated.

It was Severus turn to be floored.

"Do you think this is going to be a good idea," Eileen asked to her husband.

"It's a great idea," Moody growled. "Its time for your son to know that he now has someone that will give a two-cent about his life."

Eileen sighed.

"Well as long as either one of you don't end up in a body bag, then I'll be alright."

Moody gave her a kiss and then left.

"This isn't good, not good at all," Dumbledore said when Madam Pomfrey told him of Ginny's condition. "I can't believe he broke his word to me."

McGonagall looked at him.

"Do you really believe that?" she asked.

Dumbledore shook his head.

"Well personally I'm happy," McGonagall said. "Where having loads of babies being born. Which means loads of students that are coming in eleven years? Now that's exciting."

Dumbledore deep inside agreed with her.

Alister Moody arrived in the entrance hall and headed up to the hospital wing. His magical eye had shown him exactly where his stepson was at. As he entered he heard Ginny talking to Severus, the fear in her voice was evident.

"I'm not saying that I don't want this child, but I made a deal with the Headmaster. I wasn't going to touch you."

"I know, but you were under the effects of a lust potion. You had no control over what happened to you," Ginny said. "And anyway, I'm not giving up this child."

"I don't want you to," Severus said. "I want to get to know him or her."

There was silence.

"Oh, Severus, thank you," Ginny cried.

Alister chose that moment to clear his throat. Severus turned around and glared at him.

"What do you want, Moody?" Severus spat.

"I want to have a talk with you," Alister said.

Severus glare grew even darker.

"And how does it affect me?" Severus said coldly.

Alister grinned at him.

"Well I got married to your mother," Alister informed him. "So that means that I'm your stepfather."

A loud boom was heard through the entire school, making everyone look around. Ginny stared at the two puppies, one black and one white, that had once been grown wizards.

"Men!" Ginny muttered.

Note: Aw, now that's sweet. Severus a puppy and Moody one as well. You'll find out soon what happened to cause this to happen. Next chapter: A tornado called Molly Weasley is unleashed upon Hogwarts, Luna finds out that she's expecting, and Hermione finally writes home to give her parents the good news.
