Chapter Thirty-Three:
Ginny returns to the school after a week with just Greg in Paris. It was nice to see the sights, but she was there with the wrong man.
The next morning, she is in the Great Hall with Greg, when she sees Harry run in. He scampers up to the Gryffindor table.
"Why don't you eat with us anymore?" Ron asks out loud. "Because my wife is on bed rest with our baby thanks to your former sister." Harry grabs an apple. He shines it on his shirt and tosses it around. "I am only down here because, 'Mi said I was driving her crazy." He chuckles. He salutes to Ron, Nev and Susie and walks out again.
"I just don't understand what he means by them doing their sixth year over the summer." Ron crabs to his wife.
Severus Snape sneers as he walks down from the staff table. "What Mr. Potter meant, Mr. Weasley, is that he and my niece, Mrs. Potter took excellerated classes over the summer and the tests. By passing those exams, they qualified to be classified as seventh years." He tells the dim-witted red head.
Astoria Crabbe, fresh from one embarassing night with her new husband, walks into the Hall. She had just come from the Hospital wing. That was uncomfortable and terrorfying.
Vince and his parents want them to start a family as soon as possible. She was not so excited about that idea. Tori also heard that Molly and the Goyles wanted grandchildren also. Good luck to them on that. She and Vince feel so bad for Greg.
Tori sits between Vince and Ginny. "What's new this morning?" She asks her friend.
"Potter came in to get a snack and talk to the rejects. Apperently, he and his wife went through their sixth years over the summer, that is the reason Ginny has been missing Potter around. He has a completely different schedual than we do." Vince fills her in.
"Thank you Vincent." Tori pats his hand. Over the last few months, he and Tori have almost become friends. "You're welcome, 'Tori." He kisses her cheek.
After some discussion with his new wife, Vincent has discovered that his father's example will not past muster with his own wife. Now that she accepted their lots are to be together, she has opened up and they get along well. The plus is that she, dispite her upbringing, is a half way decent cook.
He, like his wife, is starting to become concerned for Greg's marriage to Ginny. Greg even came to him, worried that he might need to send her away for a while.
Towards the end, 'Tori and Greg had been keeping the papers from her, but somehow the woman found out about the Potter's little addition. 'Tori had heard her muttering that the Mudblood would not have Harry's baby. Then came the news that she almost caused a miscarriage with the howler she sent. Her mother encouraged her in crashing Charlie's party.
Greg is close to outlawing Molly from their house. She is the one that is feeding this addiction to Potter.
"Ginny, darling, you need to eat, we have a full schedual today." 'Tori tells her.
The future Lady Goyle eats quietly and gets up to follow 'Tori out. Greg looks to Vince. "I'm going to talk to Professor Snape. He'll know what to do or who to ask." He gets up and goes to find his head of house.
Greg was right to go to Severus. The two of them have a good discussion of what is going on. Severus agrees that something needs to be done. He doesn't think she needs to be confined, yet. "We should think of that as a last resort, Goyle. Maybe first, if you will let me, I can have a look into her mind and see if there can be something done that is less drastic."
They agree to have Severus take a look.
