Hey ppl its me!! so I hopped you like the last chapter because chapter 23 is up next. so I hope u like this one ok love yazz-DM17
Ginny stared silently out into the lake. She watched the sparkling water glow with silence then she sighed. She should be happy that Draco was going to help her with her pregnancy, I mean, he practically pleaded with her not to give up the baby and told her to keep it, but for some reason she just wasn't happy. It seems like everything in life turned against her on purpose just to watch her suffer.
"I like coming out here, it's a good place to think." Ginny turned around and saw Blaise standing in front of her. He smiled sweetly at her. Ginny stayed silent then she turned and faced the water again. Blaise walked up next to her and stared out into the water as well.
"You seem upset" He said.
"Upset, scared is more like it. Scared, worried...everything just seems so different to me now." She said.
"Is it because your pregnant why you're so scared and worried?" Ginny turned her head sharply at him. Her eyes were widened with shock.
"How...how did you know that I was pregnant. Did Draco tell you?"
"No, I can just tell, and besides it's kinda obvious if you're someone like me. The raging tempers, your little vomiting sessions in classes not to mention seeing your little baby bump." He said. Ginny quickly looked down noticing her self that her stomach was getting a little bit big.
"You want to know what so interesting and different about magical births. What is interesting about them is that they're just like muggle births. And even when you haven't had the child yet, its like you can feel how powerful they are, knowing that a child is growing inside of you, a child that is just like its parent is the most interesting thing I have ever learned." He said. Ginny stayed silent still staring at the lake.
"The differences about magical births is that the woman is expected to give birth in the next two months" He said. Ginny looked at him.
"Is that the reason why you came down here, to give me a pregnancy lesson?" Ginny said in an angry tone. Blaise then looked at her.
"I'm sorry I didn't mean to offend you in anyway Ginny, I just thought I'd tell you the beauty of it...that's all" He said. Ginny sighed.
"No, I should be the one to apologize, I shouldn't have given you an attitude, I'm just frustrated about this whole thing. And you would think it's because I'm pregnant why I am frustrated but it's not. In a way I'm kind of happy that I'm having a baby, but then again I'm not" She said as she sat on the grass still staring at the lake.
"Then what's the problem?" Blaise asked.
"It's giving my baby a good life Blaise, my baby shouldn't have to be born in a place that just isn't right for it to live in. I'm mean would I even make a good mother to it?" She said. Blaise stayed silent but Ginny continued on.
"What type of mother would I be, giving my baby a life that was all about killing. I mean, finding out that your boyfriend was born into a curse that was only holding back his true power of becoming a blood sucking monster, and knowing that your whole life was existing only to become this blood sucking monster's protector is something I can't bring my baby into, it deserves to be happy and if this is the life my baby will be born into then, I might as well not keep it, my baby shouldn't deserve this type of happiness." Ginny said as tears started to form into her eyes. Blaise sighed and sat next to her.
"None of us find as much happiness in this life as we should. We must not expect happiness Ginny. It is not something we deserve. When life goes well, it is a sudden gift; but it cannot last forever." He said. Tears ran down Ginny's face as little sobs escaped her mouth.
"All you can do now is try, try and give your baby a good life Ginny, even if this life is not worth giving to, try and make it as happy as you can, thats what a real mother is all about after all; giving her children as much as she can give." Suddenly Ginny threw herself into Blaise's chest and hugged him tightly.
"You're the best Blaise, thank you" She said. Blaise blushed red and grunted a little then he slowly wrapped his arms around her small body. He relaxed as he breathed in her strawberry shampoo scent from her hair. His whole body weakened as he breathed her in for a second time.
"Why do I feel so different when I'm around her?" He thought. Then suddenly Ginny lifted her self off of him and wiped the tears from her eyes with the back of her hand. She smiled at him then got up from the grass.
"Thank you once again Blaise" She said as she suddenly bent down and kissed him on the cheek. Blaise's eyes widened at this.
"Now I know why Draco trusts in you, without you Draco might lose himself...…I might lose myself." Ginny said as she gave a little chuckle. Blaise gave a little smirk and turned his head away.
"Well, um, thank you for the compliment...I uh, I'm just here to help" He said his face still red. Ginny smiled at him then left towards the castle. Blaise let out a breath he didn't even know he was holding.
Ginny walked through the hallways of the castle until suddenly someone pulled her over into a dark corner.
"Hey, ouch, you're hurting me!" She shouted. But then she looked up to see Draco shushing her.
"Oh, it's just you Draco, what's the matter?" She asked.
"Where were you, I was looking all over for you" He said.
"I was outside by the Lake I...I needed to think" She said. Draco sighed.
"Fine, well I was thinking too and I think we should tell your family that you're pregnant over winter break" He said. Ginny looked away for a moment then sighed.
"I don't know Draco, am I really ready to tell them so soon?"
"Well, we can't wait forever you know magical pregnancies are quicker than muggle pregnancies. Besides the sooner we tell them the sooner this will be off of our shoulders" He said. Ginny sighed. Then Draco grabbed her hands.
"We have to tell them Ginny, we have no other choice." He said. Ginny nodded.
Ginny awoken the next day to a fresh start. She walked over towards her mirror then suddenly, a little gasp escaped her lips, she looked at herself in the mirror and saw her stomach getting bigger then yesterday. She quickly rushed towards her cabinet to find a big grey sweater and then she put it on. Relief swept over her as she saw that the big sweater had cover her very large baby bump. She then took out her trunk from under her bed and began to pack her clothes. Suddenly a knock was heard from her door. Ginny walked over towards the door and opened it. Standing in front of her was Hermione. Hermione smiled at her.
"Are you busy?" She asked. Ginny smiled back and shook her head. Hermione walked in the room and sat on her bed next to her trunk.
"You're still packing I see, I've already finished packing mine" She said. Ginny said nothing but nodded her head as she continued to pack her trunk.
"Ginny... is there something you'd like to tell me?" Hermione asked. Ginny stopped packing and looked up at Hermione who had a concerned look on her face.
"No, I don't, why would you ask?"
"Ginny, you've been acting quite strange lately and I want to know what's up with you."
"Nothing's 'up' with me, I'm fine, really."
"Fine, well can you at least answer this question?" She asked.
"What?"
"Why are you wearing baggy clothes from your brothers, sure its cold but it's not that cold for anyone to be wearing heavy clothing and even if it was; you're not the type of person to be wearing baggy clothes, you gave up all your second hand clothing after your father was promoted to 'Investigator of Muggle and Wizard Artifacts' It just seems weird now that you're going back to that type of clothes."
"Well, maybe I miss it." Ginny said. Hermione looked at her then sighed.
"Okay, well I'll see you on the train." Hermione said. Ginny nodded then Hermione left. Ginny let out a breath; relived that she didn't tell Hermione the secret. But she knew that Hermione knows something.
Draco waited outside of the train station. He watched every student walk on to the empty train all chatting excitedly about their winter break. Draco looked at his watch then sighed.
"Where is she?" He mumbled
"What are you doing outside Malfoy, shouldn't you be on the train already?" Ron said. Draco looked at him and gave a little smirk.
"Uh, yea I'm just waiting for your sister." He said.
"You mean she didn't leave the castle yet, what's taking her so long?"
"I don't know but what can you say, their girls and they love to be fashionably late" Draco said smiling. Ron smiled back at him and patted him on the back.
"You're a good guy mate, just try and stay that way with my sister"
"Don't worry, I promise" Draco said. Ron smiled then left as he saw Hermione walking on to the train then he went in after her. Suddenly Draco saw Harry walking with Luna as they made their way towards the smoking train.
"Hey Potter" Draco yelled. Harry turned around and faced Draco. Harry looked at him a little tensed as if waiting for Draco to say something rude to him but Draco just watched him silently. Then Harry sighed and walked up to Draco.
"What is it Malfoy, are you gonna say something ridiculous to me before I leave just for old times sake?" Draco laughed at this.
"No, I um, look Potter I just want to say...thank you" Draco said. Harry looked surprised for a moment but realized that Draco was actually serious.
"Thank you for what?" Harry said.
"Once upon a time a stubborn boy fell of his broom and into the lake, but then someone saved him. And knowing that this heroic person hated him, he decided to put away his differences and save his ass, but as always the boy was stubborn and walked away without even saying thank you" Draco said as he gave a little smile.
"You remember that?" Harry asked. Draco nodded.
"Any person out of hatred would have left me there to die, but you saved me anyway." Harry stood there in silence not knowing what to say, he was either amazed at Draco, or just highly concerned right now. I mean, anyone would if they found out that the oh so 'Slytherin God' had thanked Harry Potter.
"Ginny was right about you" Draco said. Harry snapped out of his thoughts and replied to him.
"Oh yea, and what's that?"
"That you became the bigger man than me and giving me a second chance to live, proved it" He said. Harry smiled at him then turned to leave but he stopped in his tracks and faced Draco again.
"I want to thank you too, without your help Ginny would have never fought off those Death Eaters, without your help I could have been dead myself, now I know from now on Draco, I can trust you, I know for a fact that you've become a bigger man than me" Harry said.
"I guess we're even then" Draco said returning the smile back.
"Take care of her Draco, besides her family and friends, you're the only person she can trust. Ginny had feelings for me once, but being the oblivious boy I once was; I've broken her heart many times over. Even if I was going out with her I still don't think I could've given her the things that you've already have given her; happiness and love. And for that I respect you for it. Harry said. Then he walked away and stepped on to the train. Draco frowned as soon as Harry had disappeared on to the train. He felt so ashamed of himself. If Potter only knew the real truth, he'd think differently of him.
"Hey, you're not planning on leaving me here?" Draco smiled knowing who the voice was. He turned around to face Ginny who only smiled back at him. She walked slowly towards him with the large trunk in her hands. Draco rushed to help her with it. Ginny kissed him lightly on the lips then
smiled at him.
"I may be pregnant Draco, but I'm not that pregnant where I'm helpless that I can't even carry my own luggage" She said sweetly. Draco scratched the back of his head.
"Sorry, I was just trying to help" He said. Ginny kissed him again.
"I know and you're very cute for trying." She said. Draco laughed then kissed her once again but more passionately. Ginny dropped her luggage and wrapped her arms around his neck. Draco groaned deepening the kiss.
"Okay you two love birds, you seriously need to get on the train before I drag your asses in here." Luna said, her head popping out of the door way.
Draco gently held Ginny's hand and they both stepped on to the train. Then right on cue the train started to blow and began to move.
Draco silently looked out of the window, watching the trees pass in a quickening pace. Harry, Ron, Luna, Hermione and Ginny were all excited about winter break and were all ready talking loudly about it.
"Well, I know one thing, I know Mum and Dad will go bonkers when they find out about you two Ginny." Ron said.
"What, even more bonkers than you?" Luna said calmly. Ron glared at her.
"Ha,ha,ha, very funny" Ron said mockingly.
"I am Ginny's brother after all and as her brother it's my right to go bonkers when she makes unforgivable choices." Ron said as he stuffed a chocolate frog into his mouth. Hermione gave him a disgusted look. Ginny raised and eye brow at him.
"What are you trying to say, that Draco was an unforgivable person to go out with?" She said.
"Well...yes, but now it's all good since I trust the bloke, isn't that right ferret...ferret?" Ron said trying to get Draco's attention but he was too lost in his thoughts.
"Hey, Draco" Ginny said as she gently touched his hand that was laid on the seat. Draco snapped out of his thoughts and looked at her.
"Yea, what is it?" He said.
"Are you okay, you've been blanked out since we got on the train" She said.
"Yea Malfoy, you look like you've seen a ghost" Harry said. Just to make them stop asking him questions, Draco smirked and said.
"Awww, how cute, the Weasel and Potty are worried about me, no offense guys but I don't run down the gay area. I'm not surprised though, I bet you two are so worried for each other that you practically snog behind your girlfriends backs." Draco said as he then began to burst out laughing. Ron turned red and gave Draco a look so deadly that if looks could kill, Draco would have been dead already.
"Why did I even ask this prat?" Ron said. Harry sighed.
"Can't blame him though, he's the same old Draco even if he is Ginny's boyfriend.
Ginny looked back at Draco who was once again staring back at the window.
"That wasn't very nice Draco." Ginny said.
"What, didn't think it was funny?" Draco said. Ginny gave him the 'you can't be serious look'. Draco looked at her than gave a little awkward cough.
"Ahem, well I thought it was funny." He mumbled.
"Draco are you just nervous about telling my parents about us?" She asked.
"Of course not." He said.
"Is it about me being pregnant?" Ginny whispered. "Are you nervous about telling them of my pregnancy?" Draco hesitated for a minute.
"Uh... no, trust me Gin, I'm not nervous at all, okay?"
"But..."
"Ginny please, just enjoy the train ride." Draco said frustratedly. With that Ginny stayed silent and left him alone as he continued to stare out the window.
"Mum I'm home!!" Ron shouted as he stepped in side the house. Mrs. Weasley rushed from out of the kitchen to greet Ron as he made his way towards his mother to give her a hug.
"Oh, my boy" She cooed. Then in walked Harry, Luna and Hermione.
"Harry!" Mrs Weasley shouted as she rushed over towards him and gave him a tight hug as well.
"Hi Mrs. Weasley" Harry said gasping for air. Mrs. Weasley kissed Luna and Hermione on the cheek then realized Ginny wasn't here.
"Where is Ginny?" She said. Ginny stood outside the burrow with Draco. She looked up at him only to see him staring at it as well. She knew Draco was a little nervous even though he wouldn't say it.
"Well, are you ready?" She asked. Draco looked at her then smiled.
"Let's do this." He said. Ginny grabbed his hand and walked towards the house.
"Mum?" Ginny said as she poked her head inside. Mrs. Weasley got up from the couch and smiled widely at her.
"My baby girl, my Ginny, oh how I've missed you." Mrs. Weasley said as she was about to make her way towards Ginny, but then Ginny stepped fully inside the house pulling Draco in with her. Mrs. Weasley stopped dead in her tracks and stared blankly at the two of them. Ron, Hermione, Luna, and Harry all stayed silent as they watched the scene from the living room, not knowing what Mrs. Weasley was going to say.
"Um, mum, you've met Draco, right?" Ginny said. Mrs. Weasley still stood silent. She was speechless, all she could do was just stare at them, suddenly Mr. Weasley came downstairs with Fred and George behind him.
"Ahh, I see the kids are home, hi Ron, Hermione, Luna, Harry, Ginny, Draco..." Now realizing who was in the house, Mr. Weasley almost tripped down the stairs.
"Ugh, that's really embarrassing" Ron mumbled as he shook his head.
"Ginny what's he doing here?" Mr. Weasley said making his way towards them.
"Dad, Mum, well me and Draco are...well...we're..."
"They're together" Luna blurted out. Everyone, except for Mr. and Mrs. Weasley glared at her. Luna just shrugged her shoulders.
"What?" She said. "She had to say it sometime right?" Mr. and Mrs. Weasley looked at Ginny.
"Ginevra is this true?" Mr. Weasley said. Ginny sighed and nodded.
"Look, Mr. Weasley, I love your daughter and if loving her means getting screamed at by you then so be it, but please don't be mad at Ginny...I...I know my family and I haven't been very good people to your family, and I know it's because of my family why you were known as living at the bottom of the dumps, but if I can change all that, then damn it I would change it many times over. And for that, I'm very sorry Mr. Weasley... for everything. But please at least let me stay with your daughter, I love her and I know that she loves me too and if that isn't enough then... then I really don't know what else to tell you. Draco said. Mr. Weasley stared at the two of them for a moment then sighed as he let out his hand towards Draco. Draco smiled then grabbed Mr. Weasley's hand and shook it.
"Well then, I suppose you all are hungry?" Mrs Weasley said. Everyone nodded eagerly.
"And you, I bet you're hungry too Mr. Malfoy" Mrs. Weasley said sweetly. Draco smiled at her then nodded his head. Mrs. Weasley then stepped into the kitchen where everyone else followed behind her except for Ginny. Ginny kissed Draco on the lips.
"Well, that's step one, now the biggest step of all is to tell them the secret." Ginny said. Draco frowned at this. Noticing his expression Ginny grabbed his hands in hers.
"But we'll get through it Draco, together, you'll see." She said. Draco gave her a faint smile but she didn't notice, instead she smiled back at him and left into the kitchen.
"I have got to do something about this" Draco said.
Today was the day, Christmas, and Draco decided that today would be the day to tell Ginny's family the secret. So far everything went smoothly between Draco and Ginny's family for the past four weeks. Ginny's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Weasley warmed up to him pretty well, Mr. Weasley talking about Muggles and their fascinating tools and Mrs. Weasley who thinks Draco is too skinny and tries to fatten him up with her homemade cooking. Fred and George warmed up to him as well, they practically treated him as another one of their brothers, making jokes with him, telling him secrets, (Even though in the end Mrs. Weasley finds out and their usually the ones to get in trouble.) and playing Quidditch with him too. Everything seemed right, but now it's time and he couldn't really wait much longer since Ginny was getting really big, I mean, big to the point where you can't even bend down. Draco sighed as he sipped his pumpkin juice at the kitchen table. Mrs. Weasley was in the kitchen as well making a huge feast for the family, Mr. Weasley was in the living room sitting on the couch while reading the newspaper, Luna and Harry was somewhere in the house snogging their life away, Fred, George and Ron, were outside in the back yard playing Quidditch, Hermione was in Percy's old room reading some of his books and Ginny was in her room resting. Draco sighed again, going over in his head the things he wanted to say to the family when it had reach the time to tell them the secret.
"There, now all I have to do is gather the rest of the family up so we can open the presents...oh Draco, would you be a dear and bring everyone in the living room, it's time to open the presents." Mrs. Weasley said. Draco nodded and got up from the table.
"I guess it's time" Draco mumbled. He went outside and saw Ron, Fred and George flying high on their brooms.
"Um, hey you guys, it's time to open up the presents!" Draco shouted. Ron looked down from his broom and smiled.
"Hey Draco, why don't you grab a broom and get up here, it's no fair when there is two playing against one and I've got to admit Fred and George is kicking my ass up here, mind giving me some help?!" Ron shouted. Draco laughed.
"Uh, maybe later you guys, but seriously you need to come down it's time to open the presents and...and I have some very important news to tell everyone!"
"God, Malfoy sounds like Mum" Fred said to George
"Alright, alright, we're coming down!" Ron shouted. Draco nodded then went back inside the house and stood by the side of the staircase.
"Everyone Get down here, it's time to open the presents!" He shouted then he went upstairs and into Ginny's room. He smiled as he watched Ginny peacefully sleeping. He sat on the her bed next to her. He then gently placed his hand on her huge stomach, Ginny had awoken by this and opened her sleepy eyes to his smile. She smiled back.
"God I'm huge." She said.
"Your mother wants you down stairs, they're getting ready to open the presents." He said as he caressed her hair. Ginny nodded then got up from bed. She walked over to her closet and took out two pairs of oversized sweaters and a pair of jeans. Draco was already up, he leaned himself on Ginny's door as he silently watched her dress. When Ginny was done she faced herself in front of him.
"What do you think, can you see anything?" She said hopefully. Draco sighed.
"What's the point in hiding your stomach Gin, I'm telling everyone today." He said.
"I know, but still it will just feel awkward coming down stairs with my stomach bulging out, and seeing the look on my mum and dad's face and then saying; 'Oh, yea mum and dad, I'm pregnant, now lets go and open those presents!' " Ginny said sarcastically. Draco chuckled.
"We'll be fine, now c'mon and lets go down stairs, we don't want to keep everyone waiting. " He said. Draco held Ginny's arm as they slowly went downstairs, Ginny wobbled a little and Draco held on to her tighter so she wouldn't fall. Suddenly, Ginny pushed him away.
"Draco please, don't try and help me my parents will see something is wrong" Ginny said.
"Well fine, see if I care when you trip and fall flat on your face" He said. Ginny raised and eyebrow.
"You do care hun" She said
"And that's why I want to help you" Draco said defeatedly and went to help Ginny but she pushed him away again.
"No, not after you tell my parents about my pregnancy, other than that I'm just going to have to help myself" She said DRaco sighed.
"Fine" By the time they reached downstairs everyone wall seated in the living room.
"Finally!" Fred and George said
"Ginny, Draco, took you long enough!" Mrs. Weasley said. "Now, hurry up so we can start opening the presents." She said. They nodded at her and then seated themselves next to each other on the couch. Everyone was happy as they all opened their presents, Happily chatting and laughing, except for Ginny of course, who was going out of her mind as she kept staring at Draco. Here she was; anxiously and nervously waiting for Draco to tell everyone the big news and there he was; just being all silent and laid back like he didn't have a care in the world. How is it that she's freaking out over the biggest moment in her life while he just stays calm and collected?
Draco gave Mrs. Weasley a fainted smile as she excitedly open her presents. "Oh god I feel like I am going to throw up" Draco thought. Draco really couldn't stand it anymore, he just had to tell them now other wise he'll throw chunks all over everyones wrapped presents. He looked over at Ginny who was staring at him mad, she looked like the type of person to be sent off to a physiatrics home. Draco smiled at her but Ginny didn't , she gave him a look of anticipation.Draco sighed he knew what he had to do, he'll be fine..right? Besides he has a lot up his sleeve for tonight.
"Uh, everyone..." Draco was then unexpectedly cut off by a present being shown in front of his face. Mrs. Weasley held a small present towards Draco in her hands.
"Happy Christmas Draco" Mr. and Mrs. Weasley said. Draco stared at the present for a moment unable to say a word to them.
"Um, this is...for me?" He asked.
"Well of course it it, you didn't think we'd forget about you right?" Mr. Weasley said. Draco looked at them surprised.
"I...I don't know what to say"
"Well, go ahead and open it" Harry said smiling. Draco then opened the red shiny wrapper and looked at the black velvet box, he gently brushed his fingers over the smooth box then slowly opened the lid, inside was a silver circle chain. Inscribed on the chain was 'The Snake'. Draco smiled at it then looked up at everyone.
"Thank you" He said.
"Oh no dear don't thank us, I mean we all pitched in, but it was Ginny who thought about giving you one" Mrs. Weasley said. Draco looked at Ginny who smiled at him in return.
"Thank you Ginny" He said.
"You gave me a treasure that i'll always keep with me forever, I just thought I'd give you the same thing" She said. Draco kissed her on the cheek lightly.
"Thank you to everyone for even having me here, I remember I used to have a christmas once when father wasn't on the run, and when mother was her old happy and usual self. It wasn't this type of warm feeling or happiness we had but it was still home, and they were still the people I'd like to call family any day, but all that's changed. Father disowned me and my mother has completely fallen into depression and guilt, I never really celebrated Christmas since then. I don't know wether I should blame this on my self, or at the one person who took my family away from me just to join him in destroying the world and turn it into his own little play ground. Draco said. The room was silent. No one knew what to say to him, not even Ginny.
"But You all gave me back the one thing that made me feel at least close to home... Christmas.. so once again thank you." He said. Suddenly Mrs. Weasley grabbed him and gave him a tight hug.
"You'll always feel welcomed here Draco, no matter how far and down you may seem, you just come here to clear things over... this is your home now." Mrs. Weasley said. Draco sighed.
"Um, now that you mention it, there are some thing I...Ginny and I would like to clear some things over with you all" He said. Ginny widened her eyes at this.
"Draco...now?" She said.
"Yes Ginny, now"He said.
"Now what?" Ron asked as he stuffed his mouth with chocolate cake "What's now?" Draco took a deep breath. Ginny walked up next to him and grabbed his hand in hers tightly.
Everyone, Ginny...Ginny and I are going to have a...a uh...baby" He said. Ron dropped the fork from his hand as it landed on the plate with a loud clank, Hermione's eyes were widened, Harry's jaw dropped, Fred and George kept looking at Ginny and Draco then at each other, Luna stared at them blankly, blinking at them a few times then she yawned and took out a copy of the quibbler and read it upside down. Mr and Mrs. Weasley stared at the children in disbelief.
"Gi...Ginny's pre...pre...preg..."
"Nant...I'm pregnant mother" Ginny said slowly to her mother. Mrs. Weasley looked at her husband then back at Ginny.
"But that's impossible Ginny... you're only fifteen and still at school and with a full and good life ahead of you, how...how can you throw that all away?" Mrs. Weasley said as anger started to rise in her voice.
"Mum...Mum I'm sorry I..." Ginny was then cut off by Ron.
"You...you got my sister knocked up?!" Ron gripped the fork in his hand tightly and was about to get up but amazingly, Hermione forcefully pulled him back down in his seat.
Mr. Weasley nodded his head in shame. "Ginny, Ginny how could you, you're such a good girl...how...how can you put me and your mother through this?"
"Please, Please don't be mad at Ginny if you want to be mad at someone , let it be me, I wasn't being careful at all and had forgotten to use protection, it was just me being stupid and foolish and being caught up in the moment and because of that, it's the price we have to pay, a price I am willing to take, she could have gotten rid of it but...but I begged for her not to give it up, I don't want her to suffer but, it's our baby, a part of it is a part of us too, so please it really wasn't her fault, it was mine. But I am willing to take full responsibility for this and willing to do whatever it takes to help Ginny." Ginny smiled at this, tears welling up in her eyes. Everyone stared at Malfoy amazed.
"You want to help her with the baby?" Harry said.
"Whatever it takes, I am the father after all." He said.
"I do not believe this" Ron said.
"Believe it mister." Luna said calmly as she read the quibbler.
"How can you be so calm about this?" Harry said. Luna looked up from the magazine.
"Oh, that's because I already knew about it" She said as she continued to read the magazine. Everyone in the room stared at Ginny and Draco.
"She knew?" Ron said. Ginny shrugged her shoulders.
"Well, yea...guessed it actually. She said. Ginny looked over at her parents.
"Mum, Dad...I...I'm so sorry I should have told you, I should have...I..."
"No, Ginny, It's fine, your dad and I are not angry with you" Mrs. Weasley said. Mr. Weasley gave his wife a confused look.
"We're not?" He said. Mrs. Weasley glared at him.
"No dear we're not, they've made they're decision and we have no choice but to be proud of them taking up a huge responsibility. We will do whatever it takes to help you Ginny, we still love you no matter what." Mrs. Weasley said.
"Oh mum" Ginny said as she threw herself towards her mother giving her a tight hug. Afterwards Mr. Weasley approached her. Ginny stared at him silently waiting for him to say something but Mr. Weasley just smiled and kissed her on her forehead.
"I guess this means I am going to be a grandpapa a little early huh?" He said as he gave a little chuckle. Ginny laughed then hugged him as well.
"Yeah dad" She said. Everyone started to hug Ginny after that congratulating her. When it was Ron's turn to say something he just looked at Ginny then at Draco. He faced Draco then said.
"Remember, you made a promise not just to me but to everyone in this room that you'll treat Ginny right, and protect her, don't you dare brake that promise and hurt her in the end. Otherwise I will never forgive you...ever...you can count on that" He said Malfoy nodded his head. Ron then faced Ginny and gave her a hug.
"Who would have thought my baby sister is having a baby." He said as he chuckled. Mrs. Weasley sighed then plopped her herself on the couch in exhaustion.
"I don't know how many surprises this family can take in one day" She said. Malfoy then gave an awkward cough and scratched the back of his head.
"Uh, actually that was just the first half of the big news...there's more" He said. Everyone looked at him.
"There's...more?" Hermione said. Draco faced Ginny and grabbed her left hand in his.
"Ginny... You're the first girl ever to like a cold hearted person like me, someone who likes me not just because of my background but for me. I never really thought that would ever happen to a guy like me one day but it did. There's a lot of stuff I've regretted in my life but this... this one thing I'll never regret... getting in that car with you, Ginny, was the best thing that ever happened to me...it brought me to you. And that's something I will never regret. I'm thankful." He said. Ginny smiled at him then suddenly she stopped smiling as Draco bent down on one knee still staring at Ginny.
"Oh" Mrs. Weasley said.
