A/N I AM SO SORRY FOR NOT UPDATING ANYTIME SOONER! I had just completely lost my muse and didn't no where I was going to go with this story. I was even planning on giving it up for adoption... but then being who I am, I don't like giving up so I did my best and wrote this new chapter after trying to find inspiration by walking in the park. I can't promise updating quickly from now on but I do promise that I will update. I'd also like to add just I thankful I am to those who have been with this story from the start. Thank you so much for being so patient with me! I HOPE YOU ENJOY THIS!

Four days had passed since Blaise told her how he felt about Gary and since then, the atmosphere that Ginny lived in felt different. Her life seemed to be more patched together and not as empty as it had been only a few months ago. He had visited her(cough)- Gary twice to try and get along with him even if he felt awkward around the boy. He appeared to be a bit too stiff and didn't flow so easily as Branimir had when he had hung out with Gary. Ginny still thought that it was nice of Blaise for the effort.

During the past few days, she hadn't heard a word from Branimir in person though he had sent her letters... and gifts- the gifts were for Gary of course, except for the one occasion where he had sent her a nice bouquet of flowers. There had been a hint of something else, but Ginny wasn't so sure as the flowers had seemed to be a gesture of kindness. He was a very sweet guy.

As she sat on the marble seat in the Krum's garden, she began to think about the test that the brothers had done two months and four days ago. There was only three weeks and three days left before all was revealed and she was beginning to feel nervous. Would the outcome be all right? Would there be fights over the results? Anger? Hurt? Pain? Ginny hoped not because she wanted to feel love and happiness instead, she had felt enough negative feelings.

She was taken by surprise when somebody whispered a 'Boo!' into her ears and for a moment thought that either of the brother's had somehow appeared behind her. Instead, she saw Gary grinning at her with a toothy smile when she turned around. She chuckled.

"You scary?" he giggled. "Mum scary!"

She gave him a kiss and set him on her lap before sighing as she contemplated on her thoughts. She suddenly wondered if she had been wrong about the fact that either one of the brothers could be Gary's father. After all, Gary's name hadn't appeared in the family tree Hermione had given her. Could it be? Were neither of them Gary's father? All of her hard work of convincing them would have been for nothing. Not only that, they were going to be very angry at her for convincing them on what they would probably define as 'rubbish'. Should she have just gone to some hospital to check on who Gary's father was before confronting him? But that would have caused a lot of media problems and Ginny didn't want her son being harassed in such a way.

"Oh Gary..." she sighed, hugging him tightly. "What are we going to do? I'm lost... I don't know... Gary... Oh Gary... I love you..."

She began to cry. She could feel a very confused Gary squirming in her arms as her tears dropped onto him. He stopped moving all of a sudden and calmed down as if he knew how she was feeling. He placed one of his tiny hands on hers before telling her (or rather gurgled at her) to stop crying. After a while, she wiped her tears away and gave her son a kiss on the forehead before making her way back to the Krum's household. From a far, she could hear Viktoria screaming at Miro for spoiling her drawing and laughed when she felt Gary squirm in her arms.

"Hey, Ginny," Hermione greeted when she walked into the living room. She stared at her for a while before adding, "What's wrong? You look upset."

"No, it's nothing." Ginny mumbled, setting Gary on the floor.

He immediately ran off into another room. He was probably looking for Viktoria to play with.

"Gin, something is wrong. You've been crying."

"Nothing's wrong."

"Ginny?"

"Really, 'Mione. I swear- nothing's wrong."

"Ginny, please don't lie to me. I've known you long enough to know when something's up. I don't want to see you upset without even knowing what's wrong. You make me feel like I haven't been a good enough friend to you."

Ginny sat down on a chair and was joined by Hermione who sat across her. They sat silently for a while until Ginny finally decide to speak. "What if Branimir nor Blaise is Gary's father?"

Hermione laughed much to her surprise and she stared at her as if she had just made the most stupidest comment in the world

"What's so funny, Hermione?" Ginny asked, suddenly furious with her best friend. The subject that they were on wasn't something to bloody joke about! She was sure that Hermione would have been furious with her if she had been in the same situation! "I'm being serious! What if neither of them are Gary's father! I would have been wasting my- no- not mine but their time! Should I have just gone to some bloody hospital to find out who Gary's father is? Screw the media, they can fuck my life up and screw with me all they want- But I don't want them to screw Gary's up! I love him to bits and don't want to see him hurt! I'd kill and not mind being sent to Azkaban to keep him safe... Oh Hermione... Please... Please tell me this is all a damn dream. If it's not, a fucking nightmare might as well do!"

"Ginny, calm down. Take a deep breath." Hermione commanded.

As much as Ginny didn't want to, Hermione had somehow got her to do so. The old bossy Hermione was back- for now. After a couple of commands and deep breaths, Ginny looked at Hermione feeling much better.

"Ginny. Remember the day I gave you the family tree of the Zabini's?" she asked in a gentle tone. "I told you that it wasn't complete. Remember? I was busy trying to sort out the past of the families history. I had to make sure I got everything right up to Blaise- just in case something went wrong. I didn't get up to Gary yet so please just calm down and relax. I forgot to work on the family tree for a bit so what you've been looking at until now wasn't a complete piece. Even if neither of them turn out to be Gary's father, I'm sure that they won't regret every moment with him. After all, they got to spend time with a sexy girl like you."

Ginny laughed before bursting into tears again. Her emotions were a wreck as were her thoughts. After her tears stopped running, she stood up as her mind stopped on one thought. "'Mione, may you look after Gary for a while? I want to go out for a walk or something."

"You sure you're feeling better?" Hermione asked. "I hope you're not going out for a drink!"

"No! Well- Maybe- but- please Hermione. I just need a break for a bit." Ginny sighed. "Sometimes I wonder if life would have been normal- better even- if I hadn't let myself be fucked by some guy I just met."

"Ginny... Don't talk like that. We've been through this conversation before. You've got the sweetest son in the world. If you hadn't let yourself be fu..."

Ginny suddenly strained herself to hear what Hermione was about to say. Was she going to swear for the first time in... ages? This was certainly history in the making! "If you hadn't let yourself be...? Continue Hermione?"

"If you hadn't let yourself be fudged by some guy, you wouldn't have had Gary."

"Damn you, 'Mione. Can't you swear for once?"

"Swearing is for the uneducated."

Ginny felt hurt all of a sudden. Sex ed classes at Hogwarts had taught her to use a condom for protected sex. Did this mean that she was uneducated? Her heart sank to the bottom of the sea. "Well. I'm going to go now, 'Mione. Goodbye and thanks... Please look after Gary for me. You guys are all he has..."

"Ginny?" Hermione said, standing up as she made her way to the fire place.

Ginny quickly grabbed some floo powder as she entered the fireplace before quickly turning around to look at Hermione for the last time.

"Ginny! Merlin! Ginny! Please don't tell me your leaving! You can't do that to your son- GINNY!"

Poof. The flames engulfed her and the last thing she saw was a frantic looking Hermione, waiting to use the floo right after her.

Ginny began crying again as she stepped out of the floo. She knew she had to immediately Apparate somewhere. A sudden realisation hit her as she realised how easy it was for Hermione to track her. After all, Hermione had been part of the Golden Trio who defeated Voldemort. Turning around, she could see the flames in the fireplace were about to be set alight again. Hermione had figured out where she had gone. She had to think quickly. Where was a place they would least expect her to go to- she had to Apparate to a couple of places first to confuse Hermione before going to her destination. Just as Hermione appeared and tried to reach for her, she Apparated away.

Hermione's POV

She glared furiously at the spot where Ginny had just disappeared from. How could she have just left Gary like that? If she had been in a sticky situation like she was, she would never had done that to either of her kids, no matter how difficult the situation was. She was going to look after Gary for her best friends sake- she was going to find her though.

Hermione flooed back home to set the fireplace to allow only certain people to floo over. She had forgotten to deactivate her floo after allowing Blaise to come over all those months ago. Luckily, nobody had tried to floo over to meet her husband.

"Miro! Viktoria! Gary!" Hermione called out as she quickly changed into something whilst putting on some light make up at the same time. "We're going to see granddad and grandma!"

"Gran Daddy?" Gary said, suddenly appearing out of nowhere.

Hermione shrieked and fell over before landing next to her bed with a thud. She had been putting on a skirt. "Merlin, Gary! Please do not come in like that again! Especially when I'm changing! I might have hexed you by accident if I hadn't noticed that it was you who had come in!"

He gave her an apologetic look although a hint of laughter akin to a certain Zabini could be seen in his eyes. "My mommy?" he suddenly said.

"She..." Hermione bit her lips, wondering how to explain the situation. It was probably better to lie to the child for now albeit how horrible she was at it. Her last attempt at a lie had ended in failure. Was it worth another go? After all, she couldn't hurt a little child, especially Gary, by telling him that his mother had... decided to... get rid of him. Were these words the right way to put it? "Your mum's gone on a little holiday." Hermione said, biting her lips again. "She'll be back soon. I promise."

She saw the little boy smiling at her as she gave him a pinky promise. She felt her heart break as the smiling from the boy didn't seem to go. Ginny had told her earlier that she wouldn't want to see Gary hurt, so why was she leaving the child? As Hermione began to dress the children into their day clothes, she thought about Ginny's position. What if she had been in the same situation? What if she had a one night stand with Viktor or somebody else and had gotten pregnant. What if Ginny had taken her in and one day she decided to leave her twins with her because of all of the thoughts that were going through her head? Hermione let out a sigh. She would never really know what Ginny was thinking about, nor the situation she was in. She had never been in one like this after all. Ginny would have had a good reason 'to get rid of the child', although nobody was going to be able to agree with her.

"We see Gran Daddy?" Viktoria asked.

"Yes, darling." Hermione said, picking them all up before walking over to the floo.

She placed Miro in the fireplace first, knowing that he was the more sensible of the lot, not that he really was. He was a child after all. After she sent him over first, she did the same with the other two children before going over herself.

"Herm-own-ninny!" Viktor's father greeted with a shocked expression on his face. He was currently being attacked by the twins. "Vhat brings you here?"

"I'm really sorry but I was wondering if you could look after the kids for a while." Hermione mumbled as she picked Gary up. He kissed her cheek. "I have this urgent matter to get through with... And I really can't do much with these three."

"That's vhy you should haff houseelffs. Vhy did you get rid of them?"

Hermione took the question as a rhetorical one and didn't bother to answer it- not that she was being rude- they had been through this conversation before. "Please may you, daddy?" she asked.

"I vould gladly-" he looked at Gary for a moment before looking back at her. "This situation to do with that little one's mother?"

Hermione was surprised at his thoughts but nodded.

"Vell, I hope you can get through with this situation. Very bad for child to grow up like this." her father in-law muttered. "Is okay vith you if I let my grandgirl play on broom?" He suddenly asked when the twins stopped bothering him. "I got her a present the other day, very happy you came by today."

Hermione felt her daughter's eyes on her and began to smile at the fact that she looked so much like her father at times although more of herself was beginning to show in her daughter. She nodded before telling her father in-law to be careful with Viktoria. She added that books were fine with Miro if he wanted a very calm Miro. Gary just needed to be... looked after.

"Thank you so much." she said, giving her father in-law a kiss on the cheek. She passed the young boy to him.

"I am fortunate to have such a beautiful and smart vitch for a daughter." he said.

"I'll be back as soon as I can." Hermione told him, before kissing her kids.

She made her way to the floo to floo over to her husbands workplace. Just before she left, she saw Gary give her a look that told her he knew exactly what was going on and it was at that moment that she began to cry.

"Viktor!" Hermione called out, rushing her way over to the Quidditch pitch. Tears were streaming down her cheeks. "Viktor! Please! Where are you?"

"Mrs. Krum!" The stadium's caretaker called out. "Nice day? Oh. No good day. You feel bad? You cry."

"Horrible." she mumbled. "Do you know where my husband is? I can't find him anywhere."

"Players are in changing rooms. Changing. I suggest you don't go there?"

Hermione rolled her eyes and made her way to the changing rooms in tears. She could hear laughter coming from the changing room. When she got to the door she heard one of the players mention something about how tight her ass looked. They then went on to talk about the photo taken a few days ago of the knickers she had been wearing. One of the magic paparazzi had taken a picture up her skirt somehow when she had been chased by them. She slammed the door open, still crying and walked into a room filled with half naked men.

"Her-mio-ninny!" Viktor yelped out with surprise when she walked in.

The men in the room were completely silent and looked embarrassed as she had heard their conversation.

Viktor's shocked express faded and was immediately replaced with a look of concern when he noticed her tears. He muttered something furiously in Bulgarian to the players before walking over to her and lead her out of the changing rooms. Once they were out of sight and hearing from the players, he gave her a hug and kissed her on the lips gently. "Hermione, vhat's vrong? Vhy are you crying?" he asked as he wiped her tears a way. An arm was still around her. "You're breaking my heart seeing you like this. Is it because of vhat the men say in there? Do you vant me to tell them something vith my fists? Hermio-"

"Shhh. Be quiet, Viktor," Hermione mumbled as she rested her head against his chest. "Just hold me please."

They stood in an embrace for some time. There was nothing but silence between the two and all Hermione could hear was the beating of her husband's heart and her sniffling every now and then as she cried. She smiled when Viktor kissed her hair and she moaned into his chest.

"Love, please tell me vhat's vrong?" he suddenly said. "I do not like seeing you crying. Is because I'm not home? Do you vant me to miss training tomorrow?"

"No it's not that-"

"-Vhere are kids? Did you leaff them vith Ginny again?" he interrupted. "That's not very good. I told you not to burden her vith that. She is already troubled enough."

"Oh Viktor, this is what I have come to talk to you about! Ginny's left Gary with us. She wants some time to herself... I'm scared that she's going to do something stupid! What if she commits suicide or something! What will be of Gary then? I don't want him to grow up like that! It's bad enough for him already now that is mother has run off somewhere! I'm worried for Ginny. Oh why couldn't her mother be a bit more understanding from the beginning? After all, she had Bill out of wedlock."

"Vhat is out of vedlock?"

"A bastard. The child of unmarried parents. I can't believe her mother's being such a hypocrite!"

"Hypo... Love, how do you know all of this?"

"Well... When I was going through the Zabini's family history- all English magic families are related somehow one way or the other so I assume it's the same elsewhere- I happened to come across her's and when I saw the older documents, it showed me that Bill hadn't been born to them in a marriage." Hermione slapped herself in the head furiously, surprising both her husband and herself. "Oh Viktor! Why hadn't I thought of this before! I should have told Ginny about it as soon as I saw it! I had been so tired then I completely forgot about it and only thought about finishing the family tree! We might have gotten mother and daughter together again! I'm so stupid Viktor!"

"No you are not."

Hermione let go of him and collapsed to the ground. She sat with her knees bent.

Viktor knelt down next to her and kissed her knees before kissing her hand. "Vill you tell this to Ginny vhen ve find her? Ve vill then be there for Ginny if she is villing to confront her mother about this. Ve vill insure her that she is never alone. She has us by her side. After all this time together, she is like my little sister. Ve must find her soon."

"Do you think we should tell the Zabini brother's about this?" Hermione asked. "After all, they may be Gary's father. The results are going to be out soon..."

Viktor helped Hermione stand up before calling for 'Tewy'. There was a sudden soft POP and a houseelf appeared out of nowhere. When Hermione looked carefully, she realised that the houseelf used to work at their mansion.

"Viktor! I thought I told you to set them free!" Hermione hissed. "Please don't tell me Pinky and Bowie still work for you."

He gave her a very Krumish grin which was something between a mischievous look and a scowl. "They vouldn't leave me alone so I let them work here in the stadium instead. Please don't be mad at me!"

Hermione glared at him for a bit longer but couldn't hold it for much longer when her husband gave her a kiss. She could feel his tongue begging for entrance and she almost opened her mouth to let his tongue in when she realised Tewy was still there. She pushed her husband away with a grin who looked at her with a sulk.

"Tewy, could you try and get in contact with a man called Blaise Zabini? More specifically Blaise Zabini-Gutu?" Hermione asked as she quickly wrote a note about what happened to Ginny. She passed the note to Tewy before the houself Apparated away. "Pinky!"

There was a soft POP and a certainly very pink looking house elf appeared. "Missus! I have misses you!"

"So have I- Listen, may you please look for a man called Branimir Zabini-Konstadinov and give him this note? It's very urgent." Hermione said, quickly scribbling the past events on the a piece of paper before handing it over. "If he asks you who you are, tell him you were sent by Hermione Krum."

"Okay missus!" and with a pop! Pinky disappeared.

"Oh Viktor..." Hermione groaned. "What do you think Ginny's doing now? I can't think of anywhere she's do to... I doubt she'd go to hide in Diagon Alley. She wouldn't have gone to Hogwarts... Nor would she go to Hogsmead... Could she have gone to The Burrow?"

"I doubt she would go back to her parents though it could be a possibility. After all, it's a place ve least expect."

"Let's wait for the Zabini brother's to respond before we start to do anything... I just hope she's all right."

Ginny's POV

"Oh... Ginny what brings you here?" Luna Potter asked as she walked out of the fireplace. "It's been so long! I've missed you so much! You haven't talked nor visited me since I got married."

Ginny rolled her eyes. Luna just had to mention the wedding. She wasn't exactly pissed at her now that she had no feelings for Harry, but it was rather stupid of her to mention something like that. After all, Luna had known that she had had a crush on Harry since forever. It had hurt her to know that Luna had kept her relationship with Harry a secret.

There was a sudden gurgling noise behind her which reminded Ginny so much of her own son, that for a moment, she really thought that Gary was with her. "Gary-" her heart sank as she remembered that she had left Gary in the care of Hermione. Why had she done that in the first place? Oh, right, it had been for the best... to be honest, Ginny really didn't know what to think now or how to act.

She felt a tiny hand brush pass her legs and when she saw Luna bend down to pick something up, Ginny realised that she was looking at a tiny version of Luna, or rather, her child. "Is this your daughter?" Ginny asked.

"Beautiful isn't she?" Luna asked.

"Yes, she's very pretty." Ginny said, looking at the young girl.

"Where is your son?" Luna asked. "I was really hoping to meet him someday. I saw a blurry photo of him in the papers once. He was very handsome, even if the photo had been blurry. Does he take after his father?"

Ginny looked at Luna to see if she had asked the question as a way to attack and hurt her feelings. Luna had obviously been there was the time when she had been disowned by her mother. She would then have probably been there when Molly had ranted on about her and her whorish ways. Ginny felt her heart ache all of a sudden as memories as her life at the Burrow came flooding to her. She missed her brothers. She missed her room. She missed her father... And for some reason she missed her mother too because in all honesty, she didn't really hate her. She only hated what her mother had done to her. "Yes, Gary takes after his father."

"Would you like to stay over for the night?" Luna suddenly asked. "I would really love to catch up with you. Harry isn't in the house anyway so you don't need to worry about him."

"Luna I-"

The look on Luna's face told Ginny to keep silent. For some reason, Ginny felt like she was going to say something important.

"Ginny, please listen to me," Luna said.

Ginny nodded.

"I've really had wanted to talk to you for some time. I feel like I need to make an apology," she began. "I know you've liked Harry before, and told me so, even before I realised I love him. After he started flirting with me... I couldn't help it. He made me feel in ways I have never felt before. After we began dating in secret, I realised that he was too big a thing to let go... I didn't want to lose him to you... Ginny, I'm so really sorry. Please forgive me. I'd like to add that I've always tried to remind the Weasley family when Molly wasn't around who you were. The twins want you back and so does the rest of the family. Surprisingly, even Percy. It's just Ron who's against it. And Fleur has even said she wishes that you would forgive her for blurting out about the pregnancy test."

"I...I..." was all Ginny could say before she began crying again. So most of her family did miss her...

"Ginny, I know most of how your feeling... I know the loss you feel. I've lost my mother... You've lost your whole family. I'm really sorry Ginny."

"Luna, I forgive you," Ginny said.

The two suddenly hugged each other and didn't realise that they were squishing the poor girl between them. It was only after Lunily began to cry that they realised what was happening to the poor girl.

"Luna, do you mind if I stay over for some time?" Ginny asked before apologising to Lunily for squishing her in a baby tone. "I've had some complic-"

"Yes! Please do!" Luna said. She suddenly sighed and appeared to be upset. "Harry hasn't been here for a week and I doubt he'll be back soon so I would definitely enjoy your company."

Ginny frowned and suddenly felt sorry for her friend. Was Harry seeing somebody else?

"Now that I look at Lunily more carefully, she's got Harry's eyes," Ginny suddenly said.

"She does, doesn't she?"

The two women began to converse more freely and were soon the best friends they had been. During that whole time, Hermione and Viktor were frantically and impatiently waiting for the Zabini's to reply to their message.
