Hermione had been upset when she finally arrived at the hospital wing and heard that Ron had attempted to kill Ginny. She was also grateful that Severus had saved her. Madam Pomfrey now closed the ward to everyone which made it sort of feel like her second year. After her lessons ended she Flooed home and got started on the homework that her Professors wanted and a letter for her parents. She, of course, did the letter first.
Mum and Dad,
I and Remus are coming home for the holidays. I can't wait for all the food and fun. I'm two months pregnant and have a craving for tofu and ice-cream. I know it sounds sick, but I really like it. I can't wait until I can write to you telling you what gender the child is going to be or how many. I wish you well and say hello to dad or mum for me, whoever gets this letter.
With love,
Hermione
She then folded the letter and giving it to her new owl, it flew off.

Madam Pomfrey looked at the potion that Dumbledore had given her as though it was something that would come out and devour them all. Dumbledore had explained that this potion would free Ginny of what happened to her. But she wasn't sure if this really was the ticket.
"It sounds like dark magic to me," Pomfrey had told Dumbledore.
Dumbledore had given her a strange look that told her that it was. Of course he had also given her no choice.
"We need our Ginny back," he said. "And this potion will do it."
Pomfrey had no choice but to give it to her.
"So this stuff will cure me," Ginny said, when Madam Pomfrey returned with the proper dose.
She nodded and gave it to her. Ginny drank it and then went to sleep. Madam Pomfrey turned around and left.

"So how is Nymph taking it?" Kingsley asked the Headmaster.
"Well," Dumbledore said. "She's excited about the idea that she's going to be a mother, though she's not happy that the father is a Death Eater. Of course, I was wondering why you don't call her Tonks anymore."
He grinned at him.
"Well because she's married," he said. "And it wouldn't be right to call her that."
Dumbledore gave him a worried look and Kingsley picked up on it.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
"I think that she would like to be called Tonks again," he said.
"And how do you know that? Did she say so?"
"No, I just feel it," was his answer.

Ron's wife hurried up the steps to the hospital wing, and banged on the door. She knew that the wing was warded, but she had to see the Matron. After five minutes of pounding on the door the angry face of Madam Pomfrey appeared.
"What-oh my god," Madam Pomfrey gasped, pulling her in. "When did this happen?"
"This morning?" she said. "Oh god, what's going on with me?"
"Come over here," she said and placed her gently on the bed.
She waved her wand over her and then read what the wand was telling her. She snickered at it.
"What's wrong?"
She grinned.
"Well Hermione has tofu and ice-cream as a craving you've got uncontrolled hair changing."
Ron's wife went crazy.

That afternoon Ginny was finally allowed to leave the wing. She felt as though the whole world was right and what happened felt like a horrible memory. She didn't feel dirty or worthless. The first thing that she did was visit Hagrid.
"Hello, inny," Hagrid boomed.
"Hi," Ginny said. "So how are you doing?"
"Well," he said. "So how are you feeling?"
"Well," she repeated. "I'm heading back to my house. Have you seen Severus?"
The half-giant shook his head.
"Well tell him that I'm out of the wing and okay."
He told her that he would and she left.
