22nd December.
It has been a month since Ginny died, she was killed 4 times, but I tried to save her many times, so I gave up one day, but when I woke up the day after Ginny was alive and jumping on my bed thanking me for saving her, as much as shocked I was, I was so happy I started to cry, she asked me what was wrong and I told her that she had died 4 times and I had always gone and saved her, but after the forth time, I gave up and then the next day she was on my bed, jumping happily around on it, she looked sad but I asked her what happened the night before and she told me that someone had help her, she was about to be pulled into the room but someone grabbed her and took her to the great hall to eat something, then she went to the common room, then when I asked her who it was that helped her she told me it was Neville, during the day I asked Neville if he had helped Ginny and told me he had, and it made him feel good.
Anyway today I found out that I could find out about the baby's gender in 2 months, I can't wait, as I'm now 3 months pregnant, my morning sickness is supposed to go away around now, so I put it to the test and I didn't have any morning sickness, which was fine, but today I also found out my craving, we are at the Burrow, it is the Christmas holidays, we were sitting around the table ready for dinner, when I went to the kitchen too see if Mrs Weasley wanted any help, she said I could cut up the cucumber, the only vegetable I couldn't stand, but I moved forward to cut them up, when I had an urge to eat one, so I did then I had another and another, I had almost eaten all of the cucumber, I heard Mrs Weasley laugh, I turned to her and tried to look innocent, but she laughed again.
"I'm so sorry Mrs Weasley, I don't know what got over me, I have hated cucumber since I was 4 years old, I don't know why I suddenly want them all the time now." I say getting red in the face. "Its fine dear, its your craving, along with chocolate cake and cookies, I saw you eat the packet of cookies this afternoon, then yesterday you bought 4 chocolate cakes and ate 3 of them, you gave Ron the last one." Mrs Weasley explains, I laughs. "Oh Gosh I'm going to become fat." I say sitting down on a chair and grabbing some cucumber pieces and putting them in my mouth. "No you won't, if you keep eating the cucumber then you will be fine, now go and sit down." Mrs Weasley tells me with a smile, I smile back and go back into dining room and sit down, when it came to dinner I was shocked to see that Mrs Weasley had given me a bowl of cucumber along with my dinner, she smile kindly at me, then we had dinner, it was a funny sight I bet, me trying to fit a bit of cucumber into the rest of the food, by the end of it, I had cucumber with gravy, then for pudding, Mrs Weasley made chocolate cake with cookies in it, I enjoyed it a lot.
After dinner everyone but Mrs and Mr Weasley looked at me oddly, so I explained my cravings.
25th December.
Today is Christmas day, the ground is covered in a blanket of snow, everyone was outside having snowball fights, but I was inside eating cucumber, not that I minded that everyone was having fun and I was inside, I was in the warm and comfy house and they were out in the wet and cold outside, if I wasn't pregnant, I would have been jealous that I wasn't having fun, guess being pregnant make you more mature, we haven't opened out presents yet, we were waiting for after dinner, which wouldn't be too long now, I had sent Draco's presents to him this morning, I had brought him some dog tags, with his name and house, they were green and silver, they had a green snake around it, but my other present was ring, it was a silver rose with a green snake going around the rose, on the bottom of the ring it is D.M on it, I am hoping he likes it.
Minutes after everyone comes in from the snow, there was a tapping sound, I looked around and saw an Eagle Owl, it was a sand colour with black going around its eyes and beak, I walk over to the Eagle Owl and take the letter and 3 boxes from his beak and feet, I get the letter and open it it reads. "Dear Hermione, thank you for the lovely presents, the ring was my favourite, now we are engaged I wanted you to feel somehow connected to the Malfoy Family, 2 of the boxes have Malfoy items and the other is something I wanted to give you, I hope you like them. Draco. P.S. This is my bird Abraxus, hope you like him, stroke him under the chin, thats the way to get him to like you."
I looked down at 3 gifts and smile, how sweet of him, I am glad he liked the presents, I look at Abraxus and I stroke up under the chin, he pecks my hand affectionately, I smile. "I'll be right back, let me write something back." I tell the bird, he nods and I run up stairs and write a quick letter saying thank you, then I give Abraxus the letter and watch him as he flies away, I sit back down and look at the presents again, I decide to open them, the first one I open is a ring with a snake and a star, the snake is curled around the star, in the star there is a small M in the middle of it, I place the ring on my middle finger and it fits perfectly, then I open the second box, it is a necklace, it is silver with a green rose hanging from it, I put the necklace on and smile, then I open the third one, it is a locket, it has a lion and a snake on it, I open the locket, it has three little holes, 2 of the holes have pictures, one of Draco, the other with a picture of me, then the last one I guess if for the baby, I smile and out the locket in my pocket and get rid of the boxes.
It is after dinner now and we are sitting around the tree, Mrs Weasley is handing out the presents, I seem to have the most presents, I watch as one by one we open our presents, we watch as Harry opens his last present and then they all look at me and my pile of presents, I open my presents, I have lots of baby thing, then I have a jumper, a necklace, 2 books, a bunch of Fred and George's things, a box full of Chocolate cakes and cookies, some things that help with pregnancy from my parents, then the last present is an Owl, one that looks like both Hedwig and Pig, but the size of Hedwig, I smile happily. "Thanks guys this great." I say happily. "By the way it is a girl." Harry tells me, I smile. "I think I will name her Magique, it is french for magical." I tell them with a smile, Magique hoots happily at her name.
