Chapter Ninety – Seven

Ginny walked down the stairs. She saw them talking and then stop when they saw her.
She sighed and sat down helping herself to a sandwich,
“How are you feeling?” Asked Molly,
“Fine” she munched on the bread “How long have they been gone?”
“Half an hour or so” said Amy, picking out the cucumber and leaving the cheese. She avoided the look Molly gave her and ate the sandwich.
“You think they’ll give up if they can’t find us?” Ginny asked,
“Why, where do you think you can hide?”Asked Hermione,
“I like the sound of Paris” she grinned, they laughed around her, “You think Harry will take us?” she smiled leaning back in her chair, “One day” she smiled day dreaming a little.
“Stay with us Gin” laughed Hermione, picking up a sandwich and eating it smiling,
“Yeh, yeh, a girl can dream”
“But she has to be realistic sometimes” said Amy,
“Paris will be real one day” Molly said smiling “Harry would do anything for you”
“Hmm” she smiled,
“Jeez Ginny, could you be anymore loved up?” laughed Amy,
“Knocked up, loved up” she shrugged, “I’m happy apart from that Witch weekly crap” she noticed the page it was open on, lying on the table – “You’re reading it?”
“Better to know then to not” Shrugged Hermione,
“Who told them, is what I want to know, nobody knew until going on two day’s ago”
“We don’t know for now but they’ll tell the guys when they get there”
“Only the healers at Mungo’s knew but they said they wouldn’t talk”
“Some one might have seen you two – from what Arthur said he carried you apparating into the middle of the ground floor crying, that would be noticeable and a simple spell on the healer would have told them what was going on”
“Great” she muttered turning the pages, “This is drivel” she added her eyes glancing over the writing, the pictures showed a time line of growth – somehow there was one of Harry as a baby and of her as well.
“How did they get hold of them?”
“I don’t know Ginny, only Harry’s parents would have had photos of him, and your father and I would never have given them a photo of you”
Hermione looked closely at the pictures, “Do they take pictures in the hospital – you’re both wearing wristbands”
“Yes, I forgot about that” Smiled Molly as if remembering
“Then they gave them to Witch weekly” replied Hermione
“What about Harry’s primary school photos?” Amy asked
Molly guessed, “The Dursley’s”
“They don’t even have photos around the house, they hate him” Said Hermione
“Which is why they’d do something like this – Harry hasn’t told them about the baby” Said Ginny, “They don’t like him, they don’t approve of me, knowing Harry was going to have a child that’s magical… it would make them sick”
She turned the pages “Look there’s quotes from them in here” she pointed “They know, there far from happy – ‘we’re disappointed in him, but he always was a bad child’ they don’t like me – ‘We’ve met her, and are not surprised this happened since she was coming out of his bedroom at the time”
Molly made a face,
“Mum – it wasn’t like that, we came down the stairs to leave and they we’re there looking disgusted”
“I’m not saying anything” she replied,
“It doesn’t matter now” sighed Ginny, “Any way, I think I want to go and see them”
“I don’t think that’s a good idea”
“There all the biological family Harry has, I want to talk to them”
“I think your brain’s been addled by that baby Gin” smiled Hermione,
“She’s not doing anything, it’s my choice and I’m sure I can persuade Harry” she smiled,
“I bet you can” Amy grinned,
“I don’t think it’s sensible to put yourself up to be judged by them, they’ll make you angry and it’s not good for you or her” Said Hermione worriedly,
“I know what’s good for me and my baby Hermione” Ginny said firmly, her eyes down and her arm on her stomach protectively, “Having a family will be good for her, knowing where she comes from, her father’s history”
“But exposing her to them while she’s vulnerable – “
“There not going to be able to say anything that will make me mad with them, I know there horrible people, I can deal with them”
Hermione didn’t say anything else and crossed her arms leaning back in her chair.
“They better be back soon” Ginny sighed, leaning back a little in her seat.

*****
“Harry” said a high pitched woman’s voice, and the clip clop of high heeled footsteps coming towards them made his heart thump angrily. His fists clenched and he turned around. The now dark brown curls, the sparkly glasses, the crimson nails. Rita Skeeter.
“Your responsible for this crap?” he started,
“Oh Harry, you didn’t think I would miss out on the story of the year!” a girlish giggle escaped her lips and he cringed, “I’m the editor in chief now, I just go by a different name is all, re – invention suits me” she smiled and Harry folded his arm’s across his chest,
“What do I call you now, Nosey Parker?”
She ignored it with a smile “Ruby Tuesday” and pointed to a sign over the reception.
“Right Ruby, let’s get this sorted out – your going to print an apology and tell your minions to leave me, my girlfriend, our baby and our friends alone”
“I’m afraid I can’t do that” she smiled “That issue was the fastest selling copy ever in the history of this magazine; we’re reprinting for tomorrow as we speak”
“Care to be a beetle again, this time for ever” he pulled out his wand,
“Oh you can’t threaten me Harry” she kept smiling “I’m well protected, come into my office and lets have a chat”
“I’m not going to give you anymore ammunition to make up more lies”
“I’m not going to print an apology without a valid reason”
He lowered his wand “Lets talk”
“Without them” she pointed to Draco and Ron,
Ron made to object but Harry gave him a look and he backed down.
She led him up a silver spiral staircase and down wide vividly decorated hallway to a door. The name on the wall beside it, engraved on a stainless steel plaque, confirming her new identity.

“So Harry, how are you?”
“I’ve been better” he muttered sitting on the chair in front of her desk.
“I see and this article annoys you because?”
“We have only just told her parents the news and you splash it all over the front of a magazine, this was mine and Ginny’s secret for a reason”
“Why not share the happiness with the world?”
“Because you have managed to twist reality, this was one of the only good things ever to happen to me and you’ve come in and ruined it”
“Well I’m sorry you see it like that Harry, it was never our intention here at Witch Weekly”
“Don’t spin me that rubbish Rita”
“Ruby” she added with a sneer, “And I’m not spinning you anything, I’m merely telling people the good news, the truth they want to hear”
“It wasn’t yours to tell” he said holding back the anger “Who’s your source Ruby?”
“I can’t divulge my sources Harry, it’s not professional” she smirked knowingly,
“You’ll tell me or I think the law enforcement squad might want to know some of your secrets”
“I’m not at liberty to say”
“Was it someone at Mungo’s?” he paused looking for a reaction “There’s no one else that knew”
“You’re underestimating my sleuthing abilities” she said with a smile,
“So you we’re just following us waiting for something to happen?”
“I have more effective ways then that” she opened a draw and took out a small black book
“How original – your snitch list in a little black book”
She waved a hand at him passively, “This book is more then a ‘snitch list’ it’s my business associates”
“Even better – give it here so I can burn it”
She rolled her eyes “There’s nothing you can do about the magazine Harry”
“I want you to leave us alone – really leave us alone – no reporters stalking and questioning us, no more magazine articles”
“What about a financial incentive for an exclusive?”
“Not a chance”
“You’re a celebrity couple Harry; let the people get to know you”
“They know me as much they ever should need to, my whole life’s been on show since I was eleven”
“This is something life changing, a positive event in your otherwise miserable life”
“That’s going to convince me is it?” he folded his arms “My life only got better when I found Ginny, your going to take that away from me?”
“I’m not taking, I’m sharing” she smiled
“No your not, listen to me, I’m begging you to leave us alone Rita”
She smiled at him leaning back in her chair watching, he was about to speak again but something stopped him. Ginny was reaching out and it wasn’t the best time.
His eyes stared at the wall and he didn’t see Ruby’s expression become intrigued with what was happening –
‘Gin – now’s not a good time’
‘How’s it going?’
‘Rita Skeeter’ he replied
‘What?’
‘I’ll explain when I get back – sorry’ he added before forcing her out of his head. He blinked and regained the focus in the room.
“Harry?” she questioned
“I was thinking”
“The expression on your face said otherwise, it looked more like…”she paused “…you were talking”
“Well I wasn’t – and don’t get any ideas or spread more lies about that”
“About what you said you were just thinking”
He sighed, “Just leave it ok, and leave me”
“I told you I can’t, you’re a big story Harry, embrace it” She stood up as if telling him to leave, he stood up too,
“Leave me alone or you will regret it”
“Is that a something I can print?”
“You can have that but nothing else” he opened the door and walked out down the stairs. Ron and Draco were talking until they noticed him,
“What did she say?” asked Draco,
“She’s not going to stop” he rubbed his forehead Ron moved to go past him pulling out his wand but Draco grabbed him,
“Don’t” Said Harry, taking his arm as well, “I’m going ignore it, I’m taking Ginny home, and I’ll need you to sort out the polyjuice for tonight”
“Ok” said Draco, “I’ll talk to Hermione” They let Ron go,
“Let’s get out of here” he muttered walking to the door, the doors were still surrounded and they all sighed. Harry led the way,
“Harry, Harry how much truth is there in what’s been written?” the guy shouted and Harry laughed as he walked past.
“How are her parents taking the news?”
“What sex is the baby?”
“What do you think your parents would say about the fact your going to be teenage parents?”
Harry stopped dead in the crowd; he paused a few seconds and then turned around “Who said that?”
The crowd went quiet; “Who said it?” he pulled out his wand,
“Harry don’t” hissed Draco, “Let’s just go” Harry ignored him; they were not allowed to bring his parents into this.
“Who said it?” he walked forward a few steps,
“I did” smiled a female voice and she stepped out of the crowd,
“Pansy” said Draco recognising the face,
“Don’t you dare mention my parents” Harry moved forward wand in hand angrily, “You have no right to”
“So you don’t think they’d approve” she smirked, quill and paper in hand writing in short hand whilst her eyes focused on him,
“My parents have nothing to say, there dead so they can’t defend themselves, you’ll leave them out of your media circus or I’ll be forced to make you”
“Is that a threat?”
“You bet it is Parkinson” he put his wand away turning to walk away,
“You don’t think that was a mistake mate” said Ron following on after him,
“Don’t start Ron” he muttered going into the leaky cauldron. He nodded to Tom behind the bar and he handed him the key to the room.
“I’ll go up and apparate from there, you two go back to the Burrow” he said as people started to come in behind them. He walked up the staircase, went inside and sat on the bed.

Flaming Rita Skeeter, he thought to himself angrily, and sighed lying down.
“This is ridiculous” he said out loud, picking up his wand and standing up apparated outside the gate of the burrow.
He walked inside to see them all sitting at the table and sighed,
“We’re going home Gin”
“There going to leave us alone?”
“Nope, but we had a plan to divert there attention to the leaky Cauldron”
He noticed the addition of Fred and George at the table,
“Can’t we slime the place?” grinned Fred mischievously,
“Nah, Rita Skeeter’s slimy enough as is” replied George,
“Why on earth would anyone put her in charge?” Said Hermione
“Somebody was foolish enough to” Harry said sitting down next to Ginny, “Look we’ll be fine, as long as we stay away from them”
“You think it’s that simple, they we’re all over us” Said Ron, “They’ll find the house Harry”
“Thanks for the positivity” Ginny said smirking,
“I don’t think they will – we have people watching the house because of Scrimgeour and there’s the Leaky Cauldron diversion”
“Pansy’s smarter then that Harry, I know her remember” said Draco
“What’s Pansy Parkinson got to do with this?”Said Hermione looking at him affronted at the new information,
“And why are there ministry officials around your house?” said Molly,
“Their for protection” Harry sighed putting his head in his hands “She’s a reporter”
“Can we leave it for now mum?” she stroked the back of his head, down to the nape of his neck. “Harry and I need to have a chat” his head turned to hers
‘I can’t take this’
‘I know Harry’
‘Why can’t they leave us alone?’
‘They will’ she took his hand, “Back in a minute” she said out loud and led him upstairs,

“Harry” she said with a smile and sat on the bed,
He smiled a little “You know you do that right?”
“What?”
“You can make everything better with a smile”
“Biggest sap of the three” she giggled flopping back on the cushions,
“Don’t start that again” he smiled sitting on the edge of the bed,
“What did she say?” She sat up scooting towards him carefully, to sit head resting against his shoulder,
“That this was the story of the year, she couldn’t let it go”
“Anything else”
“She offered us money for an exclusive, the issue sold out and their reprinting it tonight ready for tomorrow”
“What if we did it?”
“I don’t understand” he looked at her,
“What if we gave her the story, the truth, force her to print only what we wanted – wouldn’t they leave us alone if there’s nothing else to give”
“You want us to sell out to those vultures”
“We tell the truth, we clear up the mess she’s made and they might just leave us”
“Gin” he sighed,
“Look Harry, just think about it, if we control what’s out there it can’t hurt us, if we know what their printing we’re not going to be hit when a surprise issue comes out with us splashed all over it”
“She said we were a celebrity couple Gin, you know how wrong that sounds, and I just want to be normal”
“But your not” she reached out for his hand “You’re a hero, you’re anything but normal no matter how hard you try to be so”
“Why not, why can’t I have you, my daughter and just be happy?”
“The same reason we can’t just get you, your special”
“So it’s my entire flaming fault” he stood up pacing around the room, “You think if we give them what they want they won’t come back for more”
“Not if there’s nothing for them to come back for”
“You want everybody to know everything”
“No, we just have to tell our story as it actually is”
“- And the money” He questioned
“I’m not saying we should do it for the money, it never crossed my mind – you can see that yourself – but a charity or to profit our daughters life, we could actually start buying her things like a crib, nappies practical stuff”
“So we sell ourselves and her up to give her stuff”
“No that’s not what I’m saying, we can do it for free if you want I don’t care I just want it to stop as badly as you do, only I’m seeing this as a way out”
“If I think this is a bad idea will you not continue with it”
“Course I won’t, we do it together or not at all”
“And you really think will help us?”
“I wouldn’t suggest it otherwise”
He thought it through and sat down coming up with an answer – “I’ll send an owl to Rita and set up a meeting in the Leaky cauldron”
“Ok” she replied “It will work out eventually Harry, I promise it will”

Chapter Ninety – Eight

“Harry, wake up Harry!”
“What – huh – Gin – are you ok?”
“Give me your hand”
“What?” he replied but she grabbed it, placing it on the baby bump
“What the –“
“She’s awake” Ginny grinned
“That’s so-“
“Weird?” she suggested but he shook his head,
“Amazing” he grinned shuffling closer to her “Does it feel odd?”
“A bit – but it’s a good sign she’s moving for the first time so I can actually feel her”
“I think she know what we’ve got planned today” he said absentmindedly,
“And she knows it’s for the best for all of us” Ginny added reaching for his cheek to raise his eyes from the bump,
“I hope she’s right” he said looking into her eyes,
“I hope so to” she replied kissing him softly.

*****
They apparated into the leaky cauldron corridor, Ginny holding her self fighting the urge to vomit as Harry waited for her to talk,
“You ok”
“Yep” the baby gave a kick of agreement, “We’re good”
They walked to the door and knocked “Come in”
“Hey guys” smiled Hermione, the only thing different about her appearance orange straight Weasley hair. “The whole polyjuicing while your pregnant doesn’t work so we improvised” she waved her wand in front of her face and her appearance changed to match Ginny’s, all except the bump.
“That’s creepy” Harry grinned,
“It’s weird to see what I look like with out her” she stroked her belly,
Hermione pointed to a cushion “You’ve got the real thing, I’ve got that”
Ginny laughed “Well your cushion doesn’t wake you up in the morning” she added,
Hermione squealed excitedly, “She’s started moving!”
“Change your face back please Hermione – this is getting strange” Harry said as she leaned in to touch Ginny’s belly,
“Oh – yeh – right” she smiled waving her wand and returning her features to normal.
“Where’s Draco?”
“Work – he left under a disillusion charm” she added
“Ok, so Skeeter will be here shortly” he replied “Have you been bothered cause of what I said to them and what got added to the magazine?”
“No more then usual – Tom’s refusing them rooms, so they sit and drink waiting, he just brings food up”
“They called him a lose cannon” Ginny grinned sitting on the bed “That he’s ‘overly sensitive to any connotation to his parentage’ and ‘he’s violent, threatening and has me hidden away to keep in control of our relationship’ what a load of codswallop” she laughed, He cringed
“I’ll go see Draco, and stop by the Burrow and see you later” said Hermione picking up a bag and jacket.
“Ok” they replied
Hermione got to the door opening it to Rita’s ear pressed against the wooden panels,
“She’s here” Hermione said turning back,
“Fantastic” Harry muttered; Ginny sat up and moved to the couch; Harry joined her taking her hand.
“Good morning” smiled the woman, teeth glistening in the light coming from the window,
“Rita” said Ginny icily,
“The names Ruby darling” she opened her bag pulling out a quick quotes quill,
“Put it away – we talked about that, and we agreed on the truth only” Said Harry quickly to cut her off,
“But-“
“No chance Ruby” said Ginny firmly “You write or we walk”
“Feisty one isn’t she”
“You haven’t seen anything yet” smirked Harry “You still think I’m an over reactive control freak?”
“I think we can retract that statement” she smirked taking out a normal quill and parchment. “So tell me how you ended up together?”
“We’ve known each other for years, it just took a while for us to find it was more then just friends” Ginny said smiling a little as if remembering. Harry was still tense and annoyed beside her.
“As everyone knows I’m his best friend’s sister and then we were close after Sirius” she held his hand a little tighter, “After he was murdered by Bellatrix Lestrange, Harry broke down. It was a really hard time for him but he turned to me – he says I was the only one normal around him” she smiled shaking her head at him and he smiled a little, “It still ended up being a while before it became anything else – I had a boyfriend, who turned out to be, well obsessive”
“And that was the boy in your year Harry?”
“Dean” said Ginny, he was still thinking away from them “But things instantly got better when that finished, I found Harry”
“And Harry how did Ginny change things for you?”
Harry sighed as though remembering the conversations and the letters before he broke his silence uneasily, “Gin helped me through a time in my life that no one else could, my last years at Hogwarts have only been liveable because she was there with me. When Sirius died, he was the closest I’ve ever been to my parents, it was hard to let go but she was with me through it all. She never knew how much she saved me from myself, she knew how tormented I was by it but that the thought of her actually stopped me -” He saw himself holding a shard of Sirius’ mirror against his wrist, Ginny’s voice failed as she saw it but got out a choked, “Harry” and her hand reached for his cheek wiping away a single tear,
“Sorry, you shouldn’t have had to see that” he sighed, Ginny gulped and turned her head away a little
“We share things Ruby” said Harry “Thoughts, feelings… memories”
“Really” She sounded more excited by this then touched by the intimate moment she just witnessed, “And what did you just share?”
“That’s going to remain private” Ginny said coldly “Harry and I are linked more then other people, we’re told it hasn’t happened in hundreds of years”
“And we’re told your family didn’t approve of the match – when did this link develop?”
Ginny’s focus dragged away from him to answer her “Not at first, It grew on them” She replied, “The link became apparent when Harry was sick after the Christmas holiday’s, I shared his nightmares”
“What about the news of your pregnancy?”
“There happy for us” said Harry, “Really happy”
“And you two are happy?
“We can’t wait” She said her thoughts still locked on the previous moment,
“- and the sex, have you got any names in mind?”
“Girl, no names as of yet” said Harry, starting to get worried about Ginny and answering Ruby’s questions as fast as they could, “As everyone say’s we’re just glad she’s healthy”
“So, life after your spectacular defeat of Voldemort is working out?”
“It’s going good, no problems as of yet” Smiled Ginny, picking up the tone but looking at him so he knew they would talk about it later and get this over with for now. The smile didn’t quite reach her eyes and Harry became tenser,
“And it wasn’t spectacular, I just died, there was something in me that was his and that died with me”
“You came back from the dead, how is that even possible?”
“It’s complicated” Ginny sighed,
“But let’s just say it was all about Gin, she saved me”
“Don’t be so embarrassing” Ginny smiled softly,
“You know it’s true” He said with a small smile. “It’s always been you that’s saved me Gin” he added knowing she would understand what he meant “What else do you want to know Ruby?” He said as if remembering she was in the room,
“About home life, what you’re doing now, your plans for the future, is there a wedding on the horizon?”
“I’m training to be an auror”
“I’ve still got a year of school ahead”
“– the baby” Cut in Ruby,
“I’m going to school until she’s near due, then I’m coming back”
“And you’re living? Surely here’s no place to raise a child”
“We don’t live here, we have a home, we’re just not going to tell you where it is, we want our privacy” said Harry firmly, “We want to be left alone after this”
“Sure, Sure – back to the question”
“There are no wedding plans – sorry to disappoint” smirked Ginny “We’re happy as we are”
“Some would say that might suggest your relationship isn’t, how shall I phrase it – going to be a lasting one”
“Well they can think what they want” said Harry protectively; Ginny could hear the annoyance in his voice,
“We’re happy as we are, we love each other we just don’t need the big pomp and ceremony to prove it to everyone” Ginny said looking to Harry “Being together has always been a permanent thing for us, no matter what has happened so far we’ve stuck together, we’re going to stay together forever”
Harry smiled down at her “Forever” he said as if to reiterate the point and then turned to Ruby “Anything else?”
“Photos?” she asked
“We didn’t agree on that” he replied
“We’ll need something to put in” she sighed as if he should know that,
“Fine, you get one shot” said Ginny
Ruby called out and the door opened a young woman coming in,
“We’ll have to take a few and pick the best” Ruby said with a smile and the woman set up a tripod with the wave of her wand,
“Fine” said Harry, scowling at Ruby “Just be quick”
“Smile please” said the woman,
They did as they were told sitting on the couch, hearing it click a few times
“A different pose please – how about a hand on her stomach, move in a little closer” she moved back to have them fill the lens and it clicked again a few times, she asked them for a few different poses before seeming happy with what they had,
“I think we have one” she replied packing the camera away with a wave of her wand
“Go then” said Ruby waving her hand at her,
The girl sighed and walked to the door before turning back “Congrats you guys” and left quickly with a look from Rita.
Ginny smiled resting her head on Harry’s shoulder, “Is that it?”
“Unless you have anything else to add – I mean why people were never told you got her kidnapped?”
“Harry didn’t get me kidnapped, Voldemort stole the use of his body and took me himself” Ginny said sitting up angrily,
“Well to everyone else it would seem-”
“-That’s what you don’t seem to get Rita, we don’t care what everyone else thinks, as long as Ginny’s with me people can think what they want because I’m with her, I love her and that’s all that matters to me”
Rita sat gobsmacked for a moment before gathering her thoughts “What about the situation, your possession was only mentioned in the quibbler, you never revealed how that was possible”
“It’s not something I’m intent on reliving”
“Why not do it and put yourself and other people at ease?”
“I’m fine with it, he’s not living with me anymore, only Ginny’s in my head and I’m good with that”
“Ok then” Rita sighed “And what about talking the actual event surrounding the death of you know who?”
“I’ve said all I’ve had to about that for the quibbler, maybe you should ask them” he replied “You wanted a story about me and Ginny, you’ve got it now leave us alone like you agreed”
“We will don’t worry about that, but maybe when the baby is born you’ll-“
“No chance Rita, there’s no way our daughters going to be used to sell your magazines” said Ginny angrily,
“You haven’t heard my proposal”
“We don’t want to” Ginny was furious “This is it, this is all your getting and that’s final”
“You weren’t wrong with the haven’t seen anything yet Harry” Smiled Rita,
“I suggest you go cause I’m not going to stop her from cursing you if you make her even more angry – stress isn’t good for the baby she’s better off letting it out” he replied,
“Can we talk about something else fill out the story a bit?” Ruby started slightly nervous, the look on Ginny’s face unchanging from anger,
“Make a suggestion and we’ll see” Harry said,
“Erm… what about the link, tell me more about that”
“We don’t know much” Ginny replied through gritted teeth, Harry was smiling watching what was happening,
“How do you cope with being in each other’s heads constantly?”
“It’s useful” Ginny said relaxing slightly “Take for instance we’re having a conversation right now”
‘She’s driving me mad’
“But you will never know what we’re saying” said Harry before replying
‘We’ll leave in a minute’
“But what about hiding things from each other – not in a bad way I mean like surprising each other”
“We can keep things from each other” Harry laughed “If we’re really relaxed or really anxious then it’s harder to hide things”
“But other then that it’s only if we want to let the other one in we can see” Ginny said,
“I think we’ve covered everything” said Harry, “There’s nothing you haven’t already attacked”
“Oh, but surely there’s more you want people to know?”
“Nope, just that we’re happy, and now we want peace and quiet to live a normal life”
“Normal, who wants to be normal!” she giggled waving her hand dismissively,
“I do” said Harry, “I want my child to have a nice normal life so she doesn’t have to have the hassle you and everyone else has caused me, I want her to be happy and I want people to get it though there heads I’m nothing special, I was picked out because who my parents were and a prophesy that could have been me or anybody else”
“But it was you, embrace it” she smiled widely but it did nothing to change his mind,
“It was a mistake for him to pick me out, I’ve never aspired to be special or different, and I don’t want the attention”
“You’ve hardly done anything to avoid it – your antics at school, Triwizard cup?”
“Mine and my friends lives were in danger, I only do things to protect the ones I love, Voldemort consistently sought me out only because I survived him the first time, it’s been a few times since he’s tried to kill me from then and now its over I want nothing more to forget it” said Harry looking Rita dead in the eye, Ginny continued
“Harry never wanted this from the beginning, I met him going on the platform for school at eleven years old, I’ve spent every summer with him at my family home, I’ve grown up with him and I know him better then anyone else, he just wants to be ordinary even when it seems impossible. We want to be a normal family; we don’t want our daughter judged because of who her parents are, our past, that’s not going to be her. She’s going to be her own person and we’ll be proud of her no matter what”

Rita seemed to be trying to find something else to hang on to the interview with,
“Are you finished?” said Harry with a sigh before standing up,
“Yes I think I’ve got everything I need”
“Bye then” he walked to the door opening it as she collected up the pieces of parchment, she gathered them up, “Erm… ok… thank you for your time”

I am very sad that this story is near its end.

I look forward to the updates and try to read them as soon as they are available.

Rita better start looking behind her if she goes against Harry as he seems to have alot of friends (the camera woman congratulating them). I think Ginny would give her a great example of her bat-boggy hex if Rita crossed her.

Please update soon.

Chapter Ninety – Nine

“You want to talk about it?”Asked Ginny carefully bringing it up, “I know it’s not an easy thing to talk about”
“If I can’t tell you who can I tell?” he replied with a sigh, rubbing his forehead. He moved to sit closer to her, a hand taking hers and caressing the top of it with his thumb, “It’s not the most happy of things is it” he remarked grimly, “And I’m sorry you saw it the way you did, I would have rather told you about it then to have shown it like that”
“I’m glad to know about it; I’m just hoping you don’t think like that anymore”
“Not a chance, I’ve got everything going for me, that was just a point in my life when things – losing everything – feeling so alone – it all crashed and that seemed like the only way out” he breathed in waiting for a response.
“You’ll never be that alone again”
“You helped me by just being there, I don’t know what it is about you that instantly make’s me feel better, and you’re the perfect cure for anything that happens to me”
“You’d still be here, there’d be someone else”
“There’d be no one else, if I’d never met you, I don’t know who would have been – I don’t think they’d ever be anyone that knows me like you”
“That’s a big thing to say Harry”
“But I know it’s true, Gin, if I hadn’t had you I’d have been lost to everyone”
“You really would have gone through with it?” she questioned, “What about Ron and Hermione?”
“I sat on my bed, I had it in my hand and then it was – it was I would be with them all, all the people I’ve lost or gotten killed, I could see them again, my parents, Sirius, Cedric, every person on the front of the newspaper who’s gone missing, been found dead”
“What made you change your mind?”
“Pig” he smiled a little “He came to my window”
“You were distracted by Ron’s owl and it stopped you from killing yourself?”
“When you say it like that – it was the letter, your first letter, it was the one that told me not to dwell on things” he smiled remembering her words “You can’t change what has happened, just let it change you for the better.”
She didn’t know what to say, but just hugged him to her tightly, “I told you Gin, It’s all way’s been you, even when neither of us knew it”
She smiled and let him go a little, “We both just didn’t seem to notice the effect we had on each other for a while did we?”
“Nope” she replied starting to smile,
Harry went quiet seemingly thinking for a moment, Ginny didn’t bother to look he was going to start talking in a moment and when he did she was surprised,
“You know when Rita mentioned getting married…?”Harry started,
“Yes – but I thought we both said that doesn’t matter to us”
“It does to you, you said so yourself with the dreams of big white dresses”
“Things change Harry” She sighed “And why do something only I wanted and not what we both want now”
“So if I asked you now what would you say?”
“Ask me and see” she replied still lying against his chest,
“Ginny …will you marry me?”
“No” she smiled looking up at him and he laughed,
“Can I ask why not?”
“Just because people thing that’s what’s best for us doesn’t mean it is, I want to marry you on our own terms and when I can actually fit into a nice white dress” she grinned, “It has to feel right for both of us”
“And what if I planned on a really long engagement?”
“And be a girlfriend but with a new label?”
“I think I’d enjoy calling you my fiancée more then my girlfriend”
“Will it change anything?”
“Absolutely nothing apart from a ring” he smiled, “Would you wear my ring Ginny?”
“Depends on what it looks like” she grinned but her eyes widened when he delved a hand into his pocket,
“It’s kind of silver with this big rock thing on it” he smirked handing a jet black velvet box to her, “Why don’t you have a look and get back to me” he kept a smile on his face watching as she looked at him, frowned and then opened the box.
“Harry!” she gasped, it was, stunning, simple and perfect all in one. “It’s beautiful”
“That’s a good sign, but would you dare be seen wearing it outside the house?”
She stared at it and then plucked it out of the box handing it to him, “Put it on for me”
He smiled taking her hand and sliding it onto her finger,
“Is that a yes you’ll become my fiancée?” he looked into her eyes,
“Yes” she smiled “Yes” she jumped on him in a hug and kissed him happily.
“Rabbits” called Draco as he walked past the room heading into the kitchen from the front door,
“Engaged rabbits” shouted Harry in reply,
“You finally asked her then” Draco called back,
“What you mean finally?” said Ginny looking at Harry, hearing the echoing laughter of Draco in the kitchen,
“I’ve been thinking about it for a while, Draco’s been on the receiving end for a couple of days”
*****
“Happy birthday Harry!” grinned everyone when he came down the stairs, he laughed at sat beside Ginny, “Thanks guys – I feel so old”
“You’re the youngest out of us apart from Ginny – you’re making us feel ancient” Hermione laughed,
“You are” said Ginny “So very, very old”
“Excuse me you’re going to be of age in a few months” said Harry as Hermione handed him a present,
“But that’s still young compared to you guys”
“Just wait till you have that kid, then your going to be older then all of us put together” smirked Ron,
Harry opened it and laughed “Thanks” it was a muggle book with a joke title ‘A fathers guide to changing nappies’
He opened the others handed to him and then Ginny handed him hers.
“Why am I worried?”
“Just open it” she laughed,
He did as he was told and then looked at her grinning “You just got these so you can have my old ones”
“Too right I did”
He held up five brand new t-shirts laughing as everyone else did.

*****
Ginny wandered into the bed room magazine in hand. “It’s here” she grinned lying on the bed next to him. He rolled over with a yawn,
“What?”
“Witch Weekly” she tapped him on the head with the rolled up magazine, and he grunted disapprovingly,
“Just because I’m not awake yet doesn’t mean you’ll get away with that”
“What you going to do about it?”
“I don’t know something really mean though” he sat up, grinning
“Oh no, I’m sooo scared”
He chuckled “Just show me the damage”
She made herself comfortable beside him, propped up on pillows before revealing the magazine. It had them on the front again only this time EXCLUSIVE was stamped bright red on the bottom.
“Trust her to milk it for all she can”
“Just read” she opened it to a double page spread the photo of them in the middle and the questions and answers around them.
“Harry refused to talk about anything to do with you know who, but was able to break his silence on the subject of Sirius Black giving us a glimpse into his tortured soul” read Ginny from the page,
“Miss Weasley glows happily pregnant and talks of how they found each other when all seemed lost” said Harry,
“Ginny is seemingly the light in Harry’s life and we wish them all the best for there future” he continued and Ginny added,
“Although there are no future wedding plans there adamant they are happy as they are and the lack of a wedding ring isn’t an indicator the relationship won’t last. It comes with the looks, thoughts and feelings they share with the link that is apparent during there very conversation with me. There relationship is one of balance, trust and love and we here at witch weekly hope it continues hoping to have the pleasure of an update in years to come”
“So she did what we asked – that’s a small miracle in it’s self” said Harry laughing,
“This came too” she handed him the unsealed envelope. He pulled out a cheque and then said “Whoa”
“I know right” said Ginny,
“That’s a lot of money”
“It is”
“What do we do with it?”
“I was thinking about shopping for her” she rubbed her stomach, “And some for a charity – we could go muggle if you want”
“Would your parents accept some?”
“I don’t know Harry, they might see it as – they’ll know you don’t want to offend them but it might come across that way”
“We don’t need all of this, I still have a ridiculous amount from my parents and Sirius that’s enough that we don’t need all that money – could we give some somewhere that won’t offend them?”
“What about Hogwarts – the fund for students” she suggested
“Yeh – are you sure about your parents – or is there something we can get them?”
Ginny sighed “How about a holiday?”
“Yeh – sounds good”
“Do we have to think about it now?” she asked clutching at the front of his shirt a little “Cause these hormones…” she smiled pushing him back on the pillows “…well there driving me mad” she grinned, sitting on his legs facing him,
“Gin”
She leaned forward and kissed him, “Please, you don’t want your fiancée mad at you now do you?”
He sighed but smiled “Wouldn’t want that now would we” and leaned into meet her pouting face.

*****
“Ron”
“Yeh”
“Me and Gin, we’re engaged”
“Ok” he shrugged
“Am I missing something?”
“Huh”
“Ginny your sister, is engaged to me your best friend… we’re going to be getting married – at some point”
“Uh huh”
“Are you listening?”
“Nope”
Harry picked up a pen from the coffee table and threw it at his head,
“Oi what was that for” said Ron looking up from the cannons book he had his face in,
“I’m telling you something important and you’re not even listening”
“Go on then” Ron yawned putting the book aside and crossing his arms,
“I asked Gin to marry me and she said no”
“Congratulations”
“Seriously Ron, are your ears full of wax – she said no”
“Oh sorry mate”
“So I told her I was planning on a really long engagement, and she said yes, she’s been wearing the ring the last few days and only Draco and Hermione have noticed” he shrugged,
“Amy’s been busy at interviews so she hasn’t been here to point it out to me”
“That would be why I’m trying to tell you now” He grinned “So Ginny and me are engaged”
“Ah ok, you setting a date?”
“No, for one thing don’t tell your mum cause otherwise she’ll start planning and firstly it’s not going to be for a while yet, and secondly we don’t want something big and over the top we want something simple and away from everyone – like on a beach somewhere in the middle of the ocean” he grinned,
“Alright, I won’t say a word, but you have to tell her at some point soon or she’ll be really mad”
“Erm Ron… what can she really do to us? Ginny’s living with me, she’s having my kid and she’s planning to marry me”
“So you have a point but she might figure something out, you know mum” Ron grinned,
“Yeh ok, you have a point to” he smiled back “But this engagement is something that she’s not going to get her hands on”
“Yeh right” he laughed standing up “I’d better go – meeting Amy for lunch”
“Ron, what are you doing now?”
“What do you mean?”
“Well I’m in training, Draco’s got a job, Hermione’s in training and working part time, Amy’s going to interviews – what are you doing?”
“Nothing for a bit – I don’t know – I’m not good for anything really”
“Would you stop saying that mate” Harry sighed “Seriously it’s getting old”
“Err both you and Hermione got better marks then me and look what you’re doing now – what am I going to end up doing, replacing my dad in the muggle department?”
“The thing is Draco got brilliant marks, missed half the year and is working, Amy got great marks and she’s at least looking for a job whereas you’re just…”
“Just being lazy, well I’m not the one getting things handed to them because their the ‘chosen one’ Harry”
“Don’t you think they might have got a glimpse at my scores Ron, I have a feeling I’ve earned my place with all the out standing’s I got despite having to fight a psycho and put up with you”
“Sorry mate – I’m just annoyed ok, I thought the three of us would go to the ministry together, what would you have done otherwise?”
“Found something somewhere, I’ve got a fiancée and kid to support remember” he grinned, “Even the ‘chosen one’ will clean toilets in the ministry if he has too”
“Do you think there’s a late intake for Aurors?”
“You might have to wait till next year – would you let me ask for you or would you be angry that it was my influence that got you in?”
“Go ahead” he laughed “I’d like to see what you can do Potter”
“Alright then, I’ll see what I can do” he laughed and stood up “You coming round for dinner?”
“Yeh – Amy wants to see how Ginny is more then anything else”
“You know girls” he smiled as they walked to the door, “See you later”
“Yeh bye” said Ron walking out the door and onto the step, he pulled out his wand “Oh and thanks” he shrugged before apparating, Harry smiled and closed the door going back inside, Neville came down the stairs as he walked down the hallway,
“I think we’ve decided on a room” he started “Angela’s got to be certain before she moves her stuff in, I’m more surprised her mums letting her move out with me then anything else” he smiled,
“What did you Gran say about letting you go?”
“She thinks I should have left at sixteen” he laughed “Angie’s mum thinks she’s too young to leave”
“But your both happy about leaving right?” they walked into the kitchen as Kreacher put out lunch,
“Yeh – and this job I’ve got looks like its going to be brilliant, my first stops Belgium” he said excitedly,
“Is Angie happy with her job?”
“Yeh, if there’s anything she loves doing its being paid to read books” he laughed,
She came down the stairs and walked through the door, “Love you more then that” she smiled sitting down and Neville blushed.
“Everyone knows it’s lunch time then” he grinned hearing the door open and Ginny and Hermione coming inside talking and laughing.

*****
“I got you an interview” he started,
Ron’s face became shock “How did you manage that?”
“Persuasion” he grinned “And your Ron Weasley” he shrugged “They know your dad, they know I wouldn’t recommend anyone I didn’t think could do it, and they know all about you and you feats at Hogwarts” he smiled taking a sip from his drink.
“Wow… so when is it for?”
“Tuesday – the second of September”
“That’s the day after Ginny goes back to school”
“Yeh” and it sunk in how close it was.

Chapter One Hundred

She smiled standing on the platform, “See you in a bit”
Harry grinned “See you in a bit” he placed a hand on the largish bump “See you too”
They hugged, they kissed for what seemed like the hundredth time that morning and he handed her onto the train and into the care of Luna,
“Take care of them for me” he smiled
“We’ll be fine” Ginny sighed talking to him out of the window,
“I’ll keep an eye on her” Luna grinned “Don’t worry”

Harry sighed, waved and watched the train go. He smiled as she blew him a kiss before the train disappeared from view. He looked at his watch, time to go to work, and apparated to the ministry.

He saw a familiar face from the training classes “Hey Kiki” he smiled walking to the room with her,
She smiled back “Did you see her off ok?”
“Yep”
“So what’s the problem?”
“You’re an order member Keek’s, you know what’s going on with Scrimgeour, and now that she’s safe we’ve just got to get rid of him”
“And you’re in the perfect place to do that, so again I ask what’s the problem?” she grinned, opening the door for them,
“We’ve got to figure a way to do that, Hermione’s working on laws but we’ve got to get the proof in our spare time, our training starts today in about ten minutes and my minds on my fiancée and our baby on a train going as far away from me as they’ve been in months”
“She’s your fiancée?” She asked a little surprised,
“Oh yeah – that kind of slipped don’t tell anyone, her parents don’t know or her mother would be planning a wedding as we speak”
“Ok, well congrats” she smiled “But really don’t worry about them”
“People keep saying that”
“You should start believing them”
“I can’t, things don’t ever go right and now making her go back to school doesn’t seem like such a good idea” He opened the door and they took there places at the back of the class as it filled out.
“We’re still on the Sander’s simulation case right?” Said Harry,
“Yeh – just focus on that for now”
“Right class; don’t get comfortable it’s time for a field exercise” Said the tall dark haired man walking into the room.
Harry smiled a little – now this was sure to take his mind off everything for a while, but was it necessarily a good thing.

*****
Ginny sat looking out the window, her eyes passed over the scenery, this would be the last time she’d be on the train and it was more exciting then nerve racking.

She couldn’t wait to hold her daughter in her arms, to see Harry in a few weeks time, and to finish school. She had to go and see Professor McGonagall when she arrived to sort out some arrangements answer some questions but for now she could hear her name being called.
“Ginny?”
She turned blinking “Sorry not quite with it today, what is it?”
“An owl just got to window of the driver – it’s got a note on it but it’s addressed to you” Said Luna holding out the piece of paper nervously “I haven’t looked at it”
She reached out for it, what was it, she questioned it’s importance at arriving now rather then at school it must be an emergency was it Harry – no she would feel it if it was Harry.
She stared at it in her hands, sick rose through her throat, she’d focused her attention away from him, he’d missed her collapsing, and she could miss it if something happened to him.

She tore it open but didn’t unfold the parchment, her hands started to shake. She reached out for Harry with her subconscious trying to find out where he was. She only saw darkness. All the oxygen in the compartment seemed to drain instantly and she opened the letter.
“Ginny, I don’t want to alarm you so make sure you are seated, you are calm and you have somebody with you” it said and she continued “Harry was training at the ministry today, but he was taken by surprise during a field exercise. We don’t know where he is, but the order is doing everything in there power to find him” her heart sank; her baby seemed to have a sense of what she read and squirmed furiously within her. She held her arm around the bump, the hand holding the letter dropped the parchment to the floor as her head started to swim.

She needed to calm down, her heart was beating madly and it wasn’t helping their daughter.
“It’s ok” she whispered “Daddy’s going to be ok” She bent over as far as she could manage and took a few deep breaths, “Luna could you read the letter and tell me what it says”
“Are you alright – is it the baby?”
“Just read it to me please”
She read the first bit out loud and then Ginny started to listen for what was next,
“Someone will meet you at Hogwart’s, listen to them and do not leave the castle. We are sure Harry s alive and not in immediate danger but I thought it best to let you know right away then hold off considering the circumstances” Luna looked at her “Ginny”
“Keep going”
“Do not worry about what is happening; your only concern is that you and your daughter are safe, we will take care of Harry, signed Kiki Lawrence, Trainee Auror, and Order of the Phoenix member.” finished Luna, “Are you ok?”
Ginny shook her head; she couldn’t speak and was still bent over clutching her baby.
This wasn’t supposed to happen; they couldn’t just take him, why couldn’t she reach him.
“Could you leave me alone for a bit and close the blinds”
“I’ll wait outside the door” she replied closing the blinds and leaving.

She lay down on her side the length of the seat and closed her eyes.
‘Harry’
There was no reply, ‘Harry’
‘Gin’ the reply was fuzzy ‘I’m, I’m –ok’
‘Where are you?’
‘I don’t know Gin- I’m sorry- I love -’ it went black again and she wasn’t sure if she had dreamt the replies when she opened her eyes. She couldn’t cry, she’d spoken to him, he was alive. She sat up a little “Daddy’s going to come back for us, don’t worry” she patted the bump whispering as the door opened,
“Ginny, we’re here”
She nodded and stood up, words escaped her now,
“Do you want me to come with you to see them?”
She nodded again reaching out for Luna’s hand,
“He’ll be ok, he’s Harry” she smiled to try and reassure her, and Ginny noticed how much more sedate she was compared to her normal bubbly self. She nodded her head a little but her face couldn’t show an expression. She felt lost, alone and lost.

“Ginny” called out someone from the crowd, “Ginny, Luna” the voice called again and Luna pulled her gently along with her to the source.
“Ginny” she said relieved and hugged her, Hermione stepped back after a moment, Ginny hadn’t moved to return the hug, and her arm was across her belly the other, her hand still in Luna’s.
Hermione looked to Luna gave a look that said she didn’t know what to do either.
“Willows waiting in a carriage” She said stroking Ginny’s hair, “Your dad’s here too”
Ginny just blinked to say she acknowledged it, she was surprised that it was her dad and not her mother but tugged gently on Luna’s hand to say let’s go.

Luna glanced down and smiled a little leading her on to the carriages following after Hermione.
“Ginny” said Willow, when she didn’t reply she turned her attention to Hermione and Luna. Hermione sat beside Willow, “She’s in shock, she’s not talking” she whispered to her as Luna helped Ginny up and into the carriage.
“Ginny, has he tried to contact you?” the carriage started to move,
She nodded; Hermione breathed a sigh of relief,
“He didn’t say where he was?”
She shook her head,
“Was he ok?”
She nodded and then shook her head,
“Did he say anything?”
She shook her head twisting the ring around her finger,
It became quiet; they didn’t know what to say to her.

She just sat stroking her bump gently as the carriage moved; he’d tried to say he loved her like it was the last time. Her eyes closed and she reached out grasping for his mind.
‘Harry’
‘Don’t worry about me, look after our daughter’
‘You’re talking like your not coming back’
‘I- I don’t know – I love you’
‘Please’ a tear rolled down her cheek,
‘You’re my whole world Gin’
‘I love you’ she started, ‘Don’t leave me’
‘I’m so sorry Gin, I – I-‘
‘Who’s taken you from us?’
‘Scrim-’ he replied before a scream filled his being, it ripped though her, searing under her skin as her fists clenched and the scream burst from her lips, her head thrown back in agony. She could see the eyes of the wizard staring at them, the wand pointing at them and the flash of purple as it struck out.

“GINNY” Hermione shouted leaping over taking her hands “Ginny”
Her head came back down,
“Are you – was that Harry?”
Ginny clutched her belly, curling in over herself “Scrimgeour’s got Harry” she whispered “Their torturing him”
“Oh my God” murmured Hermione
“Are you ok?” Willow said before looking up and seeing the looming castle,
She nodded,
“Are you in any pain?”
She shook her head,
“It’s time to go inside” the carriage stopped and they got out walking to the door, McGonagall was waiting with Arthur standing beside her,
“Ginny” he rushed towards her wrapping his arms round her,
“Daddy” she mumbled putting her arms around him,
“It’s going to be ok sweetheart”
“Their hurting him”
“He’s stronger then most wizards”
“I’m not” she muttered, hanging on to him tightly,
“You’ve got to be, for your daughter” he stroked her hair “He’s going to be fine, we’ll find him”
She nodded her head, “I don’t know what I’ll do if-“
“It’s not going to come to that” he moved his arm around her shoulder “Let’s get you inside, you must be hungry”
She shook her head,
“She’s got to be hungry too”
She didn’t make a move to reply but walked with him.

Willow, Luna, Hermione and McGonagall talked amongst themselves,
“She screamed in the carriage, or should I say Harry screamed though her” Said Hermione, “She’s hardly saying anything”
“That would be the shock like you said before” Said Willow “She’ll be ok”
“We have to find him, if this comes to – she won’t survive it” Said Hermione,
“The order will bring him back” said McGonagall,
“I’ll go to them when we’ve settled her down” Said Willow, they made there way to the headmistress’s office, and McGonagall opened the door, “I have to take over the proceedings in the great hall, I shall return shortly”
They all nodded, Arthur led Ginny up the stairs and all conjured chairs in front of the desk.
“Hermione, why didn’t you send me the letter but Kiki did?” Asked Ginny, her eyes were focused on the floor as she spoke quietly,
“I – I told her not to, I wanted to tell you in person”
“Who is she?”
“She’s in Harry’s training class, there partners, she was there when – she tried to stop them but they knocked her out”
“When did it happen?”
“About two O’clock”
“It’s been over five hours – the letter got to me an hour ago, when she came round you stopped her from writing it for how long?”
“She wrote it about an hour after it happened, I stopped her because I thought it would be better for you to hear it from me, we tried to get permission to stop the train –“
“He’s been missing for six hours and no one has any idea where Scrimgeour’s got him” Said Ginny, her anger apparent in her tone but not in expression as her eyes bored a hole in the floor, “You waited so long to tell me, I could have reached out and talked to him before he started to get tortured Hermione”
Hermione went quiet looking to the floor guiltily,
“Ginny, it’s not her fault, I was there too, I told Kiki not to send it as well, and it’s as much from my influence as from hers”
“Thanks now I know who to blame” she muttered
“Ginny please”
“Don’t ok” she rubbed her forehead, “Take me to see her or bring her here I want to know exactly what happened”

Chapter One Hundred and One

“Harry watch out” came a shout and he ducked instinctively, and going back round the half demolished wall.
They had been cornered, but the opposing party were in masks. He couldn’t tell of which of his class mates it was, until he realised it wasn’t any of them.
“Keek’s” he hissed “There not any of us – look at his arm”
Her head peaked out, one of them had rolled his sleeves up and the dark mark was engraved on the skin,
She swore, “Death eaters – real ones”
“Scrimgeour” Harry muttered, “Where do you think the others are?”
She shrugged; “We got separated from the other pairings for a reason now” she shot out stunning one, as Harry hexed another.
“There are two behind the wall over there” he nudged his head in there direction and she turned round, “There sending up red sparks, they don’t know what’s going on either”
A large chunk exploded from the top of there hideout and landed at Harry’s feet,
“We’re in trouble” Kiki said, they both shot out at one to see him fall arms flailing to the ground, stuff flapping at his face
“What did you use?” asked Harry
She laughed “Leg lock – you?”
“Bat bogey – I was going for a distraction” he smiled they high fived and ran to the opposite wall where the others where hiding, shooting out sparks as they ran,
“What’s going on – who are they?”
“Death eaters, real ones and by my guess there after me” grinned Harry,
“Brilliant” sighed one of them sarcastically, “Where are the other groups?”
“Don’t know” Kiki said with a shrug, she looked out, “There were three left, what happen to them?” she asked, but Harry wasn’t beside her anymore, she turned round,
The masked figure had Harry in a head lock, his wand and Harry’s at his throat. He was struggling but slowly turning blue, she raised her wand as did the two others shooting out at him but the wall exploded behind them and collapsed on top of them. She dived out of the way narrowly but had to scrabble for her wand. It was too late, they’d gone and the single man left pointed his wand laughing as everything went black.

*****
“Let me go” He said, but there was no one there he could see apart from his captors,
“Tell me about his power”
“Not a chance”
“Then we’re just going to have to play with you” They dragged him to a room, chained him to the wall and he watched as Scrimgeour came out of the shadows,
“Hello Harry” he grinned, “I suppose you know why of course”
“I’m not telling you anything”
“You will or I might have to say hello to your nice new family” he grinned,
Harry could see the same thing in his eyes as he used to in Voldemort’s, they weren’t red, they didn’t need to be to show Scrimgeour had killed and now he had a thirst for blood.
“Don’t you even think about it – you’ve got me here, that’s more then enough to hurt her”
“If that’s what it takes to get you to talk” he shrugged,
“Why are you doing this?”
“Erm, the power why else?” he grinned manically flicking his wand at Harry, he writhed in pain but used all of his strength to stop it reaching Ginny. It stopped and he looked at him again,
“You know about the Horcruxes, what else is there to know?”
“Why it was only you that could stop him?”
“It’s all a matter of destiny” Harry smirked “A seer predicted the future, Voldemort picked me from the options, but that was his down fall, just like it will be yours”
“You plan to stop me chained up” He laughed, “Fudge was right about you, stubborn, stupid and arrogant” He ordered one of the masked men to strike out, Harry kept the pain struggling with it, but knowing if it hurt Ginny there baby would be in danger. He heard his glasses smash on the ground and things became even more blurry.

It went on, he kept asking, he kept his men cursing him. Harry fought the attacks countless over the hours. He felt so broken, like he couldn’t hold on any longer.

“Stop please” he begged after it had ceased for a moment, Scrimgeour looked at him carefully and then conjured a chair sitting opposite.
“Tell me how he made the Horcruxes”
“I can’t” his wand gestured “Don’t you’ll hurt my daughter – please”
“Ahh the link I’ve heard so much about” he muttered considering,
Then he felt her reaching out, calling to him, she knew he was missing.

‘Harry’
‘Gin, I’m, I’m –ok’ He replied, he felt dazed and as if he was going to collapse.
‘Where are you?’
‘I don’t know Gin- I’m sorry- I love -’
“ENOUGH” Shouted Scrimgeour pointing his own wand, and knocking Harry unconscious before he could say anything else to her.

He floated in his thoughts; they became cleared to him until he was forced awake,
“Talk”
“Not a chance”
“You’re the only one that knows, you will tell me”
“Nope”
They shot out at him; they would have to kill him.
He would never see Ginny again, he’d never hold there daughter.
And again,
He wouldn’t see her face, if she had red hair or black, or green eyes or brown,
And again,
She called to him, the only comfort he had,
‘Harry’
‘Don’t worry about me, look after our daughter’
‘You’re talking like your not coming back’
‘I- I don’t know if – I love you’
‘Please’
‘You’re my whole world Gin’
‘I love you’ she started, ‘Don’t leave me’
‘I’m so sorry Gin, I – I-‘
‘Who’s taken you from us?’
‘Scrim-’
A purple flash filled his vision blocking out everything, he couldn’t stop it the scream ripped though his chest, through his bones and burned into his flesh. It was like nothing he’d ever experienced, more excruciating then a thousand crucio’s stabbing at his body and he blacked out.

****
He woke up, gasping a few hours later only to be kicked in the stomach
“Don’t” said a voice “Leave him to me”
A grunt came “Why do you get all the fun”
“I’m the boss” he grinned, Harry heard footsteps and the door slam,
His eyes closed “What now?” he muttered angrily,
“You better talk” the voice became friendly, Harry looked up, “Cormac?” he said incredulously,
“Got to have someone on the inside right” he smirked,
“How can I trust you?”
He sighed, picked up the broken glasses repairing them and replacing them on Harry’s face,
“How do I know you are you?”
“I was the worst keeper you ever had on your team, I still can’t remember the counter curse to stunning someone, and Hermione was the worst date ever at Slugs parties”
Harry managed a smile, “Have you got in contact with the order”
“Course – the thing is we’re in a moving location, they won’t be able to track us down, because he got the hang of apparition cycles. I don’t know where we are or how many stops we’re making only he knows that”
“Is Ginny – the last curse, sharing that link – I need to know she’s ok”
“I can see what I can do, but Harry if you don’t talk they’ll kill you and there won’t be anything I can do, there’s only me”
“You’re here alone?”
“Just me and you mate, no one believed me when I said he’d recruit out of the ministry, they said he’d stick with the old death eaters – he’s been taking them out of Azkaban and replacing them with muggles”
“And you never thought to tell me because?”
“I figured if they didn’t believe me you wouldn’t, and plus no one would tell me where you lived – I tried Harry Potter’s house in the fireplace and just got burned” he grinned a little, “I tried to send an owl, but she just kept coming back with the letter”
“We’ve got people watching the house – order people, they would have stopped it” he sighed
“Why didn’t they stop you getting kidnapped?”
“They didn’t know where I was, the training location is classified – Urgh – only the teacher and the minister would have known”
“Explains a lot right”
“Can you get me my wand and help me?”
“That’s what I’m here for, might take sometime”
“What did you mean when you said you’re the boss?”
“Second in command Harry, I rose up the ranks quickly, don’t worry I haven’t killed anyone to get here – him on the other hand – he was experimenting with new spells on some muggles”
Harry felt sick, “I’ll try to get Ginny, I’ll tell her everything including about you”
“Yeh, I’d better go before they get suspicious”
“Right”
‘Gin’ he called out,
‘Harry’ she sounded relieved,
‘I’m going to be ok, just hold out, Cormac’s here’
‘Cormac Mclaggen? What?’
‘They haven’t told you yet’ he sighed ‘Cormac’s here on the inside, he’s pretending to be one of them’
‘No Harry they told me, but they said that he’s not pretending, they wanted me to warn you about him’
‘What – I should have known he was too nice to be Cormac’ Harry thought but then changed his mind ‘No Gin – they think that cause they don’t believe him, he told me you can’t get to me cause we keep moving, were on an apparition cycle – get Hermione to look it up – he doesn’t know the stops or – or how many there are’
‘Are you sure?’
‘Yes – are you ok?’
‘We’re fine”
‘The last time-’
‘It hurt a little, but we’ve been checked out by madam Pomfrey’
She felt him sigh, a weight lifting from his shoulders; he had hope, so did she.
****
Ginny laid on the couch in the guest quarters, Hermione and Kiki opposite, her father talking to McGonagall outside,
“Ginny was it him?” Said Kiki,
“Yes” she said in a small voice, “Cormac’s not the bad guy everyone seems to think, they just don’t believe him”
“Believe him?”
“I don’t know what about but if Harry trusts him” she shrugged not needing to finish,
“Did he say anything about where he is?”
“Apparition cycle”
“Merlin – right, that makes things easier, I studied them at Beauxbatons” She rubbed her forehead “We need to find there first location then we can track the rest and possibly get a step ahead to guess there next – if it’s a cycle they go back so all we’d need to do is wait for them to appear” Said Kiki, Hermione listened in,
“But where would there first location be? And how do we know its still in the same country?”
“We don’t” she shrugged “You know about this though, help me figure it out, we’ll need a copy of ministry’s magical laws regarding where you can apparate too under a large protective spell – if he broke laws he’d be found out by now, we need a list of the locations and – and a map, a big map”
“I’ll be right back” She sent a patronus to the ministry bearing a message as she walked to the fireplace
“Don’t worry Gin we’ll find him” Kiki said reassuringly,
“No thanks to the order” she said angrily,
“Hey we’re both members” she smiled a little “Just we’ve got more brains then the ones at the top”
“You sound like Harry” She smiled a little, “She likes you here” Ginny said patting her stomach,
“What ever I can do to help” Kiki smiled as Hermione walked back in through the fireplace,
“Got it”
“Let’s get started”
They opened the book on the table, spread out charts as McGonagall and Arthur came back in –
“What are you doing?”
“Harry’s been in contact – there on an apparition cycle”
“Have you told the Order?”
“Of course – but we’ll work it out faster”
The fireplace glowed green and out stepped Ron, Amy, Draco and Molly,
“Great you can help” said Kiki grabbing Amy
“What?”
“Apparition cycles”
“Ahh” she grinned,
“How do you know she knows?”
“We’re old friends Kiki said knowingly, as they set to work.
Ron went straight to Ginny, kneeling down in front of her.
“Gin”
She didn’t say anything but threw her arm’s around his neck in a hug. He hugged her back, as Draco made his move to speak to McGonagall. Arthur and Molly watched Ginny carefully, she sat up making room for Ron beside her, leaning her head on his shoulder and closing her eyes. He held her hand,
“He’s going to be fine, he’s Harry” he whispered and she nodded.

“We’re going to need Harry’s help – Ginny” called over Kiki “We need you to ask him what he saw of where he was taken – anything at all could help with his location and where they are in the cycle”
Ginny nodded, they were getting closer but she could help think that any hope they had was going to be smashed into little pieces, little pieces she wouldn’t be able to pick up.

Chapter One Hundred and Two

Harry closed his eyes, leaning his head back against the wall. He sighed, his ribs aching, stomach churning and head spinning.
‘Harry’ she said and a smile covered his face,
‘Gin’ he said,
‘Tell me anything about where you are we’re trying to find you’
‘It’s a dungeon, they took me to a brick building somewhere and I’ve been in its basement since – I was apparated dragged and dumped’
‘Harry’ she started ‘Is there anything else – anything you can show me?’
‘I’ll try’
He focused his energy replaying over what happened, she saw him being jumped on, grabbed and looking at Kiki when she leapt out of the way of the wall before he was apparated. She saw the outside of a brick building, but then something he missed. She abandoned looking at the rest of his memory, ‘Harry show me again’
It replayed and there it was a reflection in the glass before he was dragged inside. It was his face but behind it, fields, green and yellow fields, with a town in the background, her heart pounded. ‘I found something’

This had to be the first location, “Can you apparate into the cycle – like at a location other then the first?” she asked out loud sitting up and pulling away from his thoughts to speak,
“Only the first – other then that your stuck inside or outside it unless you have a wand and know the spell” said Kiki, “Did he show you something?” she rushed over,
“Fields, yellow and green fields with a town behind it”
“You would recognise the place if you saw it again?”
She nodded,
“He would use seven” said Ginny suddenly, things started to become clearer “He would go to seven different places – he knows that sevens a powerful number because he knows about the Horcruxes”
“Are you sure?” Hermione said,
“Harry knows Voldemort, I know Harry”
“It makes sense” said Amy “He must be moving a whole building – it would have to be cloaked so only people who know of its existence can see it – would he go to seven random places or in a pattern – like this?” she drew a heptagon on a piece of paper,
“Scrimgeour’s methodical” started Arthur wandering over to look at the map. “He’d use order to make things easier for himself”
Lupin stepped out of the fire place, “We’ve got members working on it – but what have you found”
“A lot more then them” said Kiki holding up a map they had drawn on “These are the locations we think he’d be using” She smiled “Told you Ginny, more brains then people at the top”
Ron jumped up “Let’s go and see then”
“Hold on” said Kiki “We need teams to go to each location, but they all need Ginny to see which the first or last place is”
“Are they all country locations?” she asked sitting up a little, “I could go with you if it’s some of them”
“You can not” said Molly firmly “You’re in no condition to be apparating all over the place”
“It’s the only way to get Harry back” she said angrily “I’m the only one that knows what it looks like, I’m going”
“You are not”
“You can’t stop me!”
“Gin-“
“No mum!” she shouted, stopped and then clutched her belly, “OWW!”
“Ginny, what is it?” Molly rushed towards her helping her sit back down,
“I don’t – Arghhh!” she yelled out again, “Something’s wrong” she said breathlessly, “It’s too soon - she’s not supposed to be coming yet – not for months” she held her mothers hand,
“I can’t lose her mum, I can’t lose both of them” she said before crying out in pain.
The room went into overdrive, Madam Pomfrey was called for, Hermione, Ron, Draco, Amy, Kiki and Lupin left to go to the order and organise getting Harry. McGonagall sent a patronus to Mungo’s and then followed after them, Arthur and Molly stayed with Ginny, as they carried her to one of the rooms and laid her in the bed.
“Harry” she called out “HARRY!”
“Ginny calm down”
“I need to see him, you have to get him here, please – HARRY! – I NEED YOU HARRY! “
“She’s hysterical” Said Arthur holding her hand “Help her” He said turning to Poppy,
“We’re trying” she was at a table with two healers mixing potions.
“She’s not moving mum, I can’t feel her anymore!” Ginny cried, Molly stroked her head, tears welling up, “She’s gone isn’t she” she cried out again in pain, she needed to tell Harry, she needed him here.
Ginny went quiet and they turned around, “Harry” she whispered before closing her eyes, the bursts of pain subsided for a moment she took her chance to reach him.
‘Harry I’m so sorry’
‘Gin – sorry for what?’
‘I think – I think I’m going to lose her’
‘No Gin don’t think like that – talk to me’
‘They’re coming for you, it won’t be long now’
‘Tell me what’s wrong?’ he said frantically,
‘She’s not kicking anymore’
He felt a flash of pain ‘was that her?’
‘Around her, I can’t feel her just pain’
He counted the months in his head – five – she should be safe, this shouldn’t be happening.
‘I know Harry’ she said ‘It’s my fault’
‘No Gin’
‘You asked me to look after her and I couldn’t’
‘Gin’
‘I’m going now, it hurts too much’
‘Gin please’
‘Love you Harry’
‘Love you too Gin – always will’
‘Goodbye’
‘No Gin!’

She was gone. She cried out sobbing, as something was put to her lips,
“Drink” said a voice; she fought against the hand trying to hold it to her mouth. “It’s going to be ok, just drink” the potion was poured down her throat, she felt empty inside, the tears ran down cheeks as she fell asleep.

Harry tried again to reach her but he couldn’t. His heart gave up in his chest, he’d lost them both, and now there was nothing left to live for.

The door opened and Cormac walked in, “Harry what’s wrong?”
Tears were running down his cheeks, his head was hanging down, “Their gone” he sobbed “Gin and my baby, their –“He choked on the last word,
“But – But”
“Just tell him to kill me now or let me go so I can do it myself”

Chapter One Hundred and Three

“Kiki, we need Ginny” said Hermione exasperatedly, “Only she knows”
“She’s currently in labour, I don’t think it’s going to happen” she replied with a sigh, “It’s not this one” she crossed the map, looking at the busy street they had landed on “Lets go back and see what the others have got”
They apparated into the ministry office where the others were waiting,
“Nope, it just leaves these four – all country, all yellow and green fields”
“Send a team to each and wait” said Hermione,
Kiki pointed out to people “Hermione, Draco, Cadence and Liam go here, me, Ron, Amy and Lupin will go here, Willow, Kaleb, Laura and Charlie go here, and Jack, Bill, Luna and Angela go here – everyone else split up between them in equal numbers”
They were about to go when a patronus appeared, “Ginny and baby are now stable. She was talking to Harry during it but we don’t know what was said, he won’t be able to reach her because she’s sedated”
“Oh – but, Harry might think there – but there not”
“Let’s just find him first” Kiki said and looked at the map focusing on her location as they all apparated to there separate spots.

It appeared before Hermione’s team first, they tried to apparate in but couldn’t. It then moved on to Willow and Kaleb’s group – they tried and failed. Hermione’s team went to Kiki’s, Willows to Jack and Bill’s. It popped up after a delay and they tried again Jack and Bill’s spot, to no avail so they all made there way to Kiki’s. Circling the block of land wands raised, they waited and waited for it to appear.

The whole group was silent, there was about thirty of them concentrating solely wand’s held up when, pop – it apparated before them. They all cast the same spell at exactly the same time, the building wobbled under a haze of grey mist and then stood still.

Kiki, Hermione, Draco, Ron, Amy, Lupin, Bill and Charlie moved in the others still surrounding it. The door blew open and Cormac walked out, holding Harry with a wand to his throat and Scrimgeour behind him.

Kiki looked at Cormac’s face; he winked dragging Harry out and to the side,
“Harry she’s ok, their ok” Hermione called out to him and he looked up,
“That’s a shame, I would have liked to see what kind of pain he’d be in if they weren’t” said Scrimgeour smirking,
“Shut your mouth” said Ron furiously, wand raised and walking to towards him,
“Ron don’t” shouted Amy but it was to late,
Scrimgeour sent a red bolt at him and he flew backwards, Ron smiled picking himself up as every Auror and order member shot Scrimgeour at the same time.
He was the distraction.
Scrimgeour fell to the floor, writhing on the grass, Cormac let Harry go and he strode over to him pointing his wand at Scrimgeour, face
“Give me one good reason”
The figure shook his head, when out came a large group of wizards and witches wands raised and ready for battle.

Harry stunned him and dragged his body with him while shooting out at his followers.
The aurors fought back capturing the familiar faces of the death eaters, they had them all kept in a protective bubble, apart from Scrimgeour, Harry had him by his throat against the wall of the building. His wand pointed at his chest,
“Go on tell me why I shouldn’t do it?”
“I – I – your girlfriend”
“I don’t think she’ll mind, she knows you deserve it”
“Please –“
“You know I don’t think Voldemort ever begged”
“I – I”
“Harry stop” He recognised the voice as Ron’s, “He’s not worth it, go to Ginny, she needs you”
“I’m going kill this piece of scum”
“Harry” said Ron “Leave him to the Order and the ministry, Gin’s waiting”
“Listen to-”Scrimgeour didn’t get to finish Harry punched him in the face, dropped him to the floor and apparated to the gates of Hogwarts.
“LET ME IN!” he shouted,
It was pitch black, and he raised his wand sending up angry red sparks into the night sky. He heard a voice and footsteps coming towards him, a lamp glowing faintly and a dog bounding forward.
“Harry?”
“Hagrid – open up, quick”
“I’m coming, im coming, she’s ok Harry don’t worry”
“Hagrid” He groaned, the gates opened and he ran in, he got to the doors, ‘Where is she?’ she thought when, “Come with me” said a figure appearing in the darkness holding her wand in front of her face.

He followed Professor McGonagall inside, up the stairs and down corridors until they arrived at the door.
She said the password and the door opened, “The middle room”
He ran forward, opening the door and bursting in the room,
“Harry – she’s asleep” Arthur said standing up and guiding him into the seat,
He held her hand tightly,
“Their both going to be ok Harry” Arthur patted his shoulder, as Harry started to cry, “Your going to be ok too”
“I thought – she said goodbye”
“She was in a lot of pain, we all thought – but their strong, they’ve made it through”
“What’s wrong with them?”
“She had some internal bleeding around the womb”
He looked up “But they were fine before, she said they’d been checked out, they all said she was fine, they were fine”
“Sometimes things happen we don’t have any control over, sometimes things can be missed”
“Missed – how can something like this be missed!”
“Harry please”
“They all said it!”
“She’s going to be alright, there both going safe now, just think about that”
He nodded turning back to her lying there, she was pale and he held her ringed hand in his own. Molly was dabbing her forehead with a wet flannel when she noticed the diamond. She looked up at Arthur but he shook his head.

A healer walked back into the room, “She’ll need to take it easy for the rest of the pregnancy, no stress good diet – it might be better for her to go home”
Harry nodded,
“While I’m here I could sort out your injuries Mr Potter”
He turned around, it was the healer they’d seen both times at Mungo’s, and he was pointing his wand waving it over him,
“Broken ribs, fractured wrist and jaw, bruises, cuts, and what looks like a slightly broken nose by all that blood”
He hadn’t noticed “I’m fine, just look after them”
“Harry” said Molly, “You’re bleeding, when the adrenaline wears off you’ll be in pain, your bones won’t heal themselves overnight, and you’ll be more use to Ginny fixed then broken”
“I’m fine”
“You are not”
He looked at her,
“Stand over here, there’s no need to go far” said the healer,

He let go of Ginny’s hand reluctantly and walked to the spot he hand pointed to not taking his eyes off her. He was handed a glass of skelegrow, he didn’t notice the taste. He lifted up his t-shirt and had his ribs wrapped in bandages, ignoring Molly’s gasping that came at the sight of his black and purple bruised body, his wrist was bandaged, his nose fixed with a tap of a wand and his cuts healed up with a foul smelling potion.

He replaced himself at Ginny’s side taking her hand again and raising it up to his lips. She was warm to the touch. He sat back in the chair he could feel there eyes on him, like they were wondering what he would do next. He sat watching her, waiting for her to wake up. He had a empty feeling inside when he knew he couldn’t reach her, even though he was right beside her, he wanted her to wake up so he could tell her everything was ok, that there baby was ok that he was back and safe and staying with her.

*****

He hadn’t slept; he just sat waiting for her. Molly and Arthur were talking in the room next door; he could here there quiet voices muffled by the wall. He could hear the worried chatter of there friends in the main room, none of them had dared to venture inside but left them alone.

Sunlight was now coming through the window giving her skin a warm glow, he smiled a little remembering the way she looked the first time they’d spent the night together, as she slept and the light filtered through the curtains onto her face, then her eyes opened and she told him not to stare.

Her eyes opened slowly and she groaned before starting to panic,
“Where am I – is she ok – where’s Harry?”
“Gin, Gin I’m right here” He held her shoulders to the pillow “Calm down”
She started to cry, “Have we lost her?”
“No – Ginny she’s safe, you’re fine, she’s fine”
“Are you sure?”
“Yes, Gin your both going to be fine”
“And your really here Harry?”
“I’m really here” he took her hand “And she’s still here” he placed it on the baby bump,
She was still crying when she whispered “Hold me”
He leaned over wrapping his arms round her as hers held onto his neck,
“I love you”
“Love you too” She mumbled, “So much”
He stroked her hair, he smelt the flowery perfume, and felt her heart beating against his chest.
He let her go, laying her gently on the pillows, he moved away but she held onto his hand,
“Don’t go”
“I’m just going to tell them your awake, their worried”
“I just want you for a bit”
“But-“
“Please”
He nodded and sat down again,
“I thought – I thought she wasn’t going to make it, I’m sorry I –“
“It’s ok Ginny, I thought I lost both of you, I’m just glad your still alive more then anything else”
“I wanted you here so much; I didn’t know if – if – she’d be gone before they got you to me”
“You said goodbye, I thought I’d lost you both I gave up and then they showed up and told me you were alive”
“I thought we weren’t going to make it, it hurt so much there didn’t seem like there was any chance – what was wrong?”
“Internal bleeding – but don’t worry” he added as he started to notice her panicking “They said your going to be ok, you need to rest, eat well and –“he stopped himself,
“And-“
“And go home”
“My home is with you if mum thinks otherwise”
“She hasn’t said anything like that-“
“But she will you know as well as I do”
“Gin shall we just leave it for now, you’re getting worked up”
“Harry” she groaned “She’ll make me go back there, my homes with you, at Grimmald place”
“What if going back to the burrow is better for you?”
“Harry” she moaned again,
“We can talk about it later”
“Don’t avoid it”
“We can come back to it later, I’m not avoiding it” he said with a smile “They’ve stopped talking and are trying to listen in do you want me to get them?” he said grinning and noticing the silence.
“Could you just get mum and dad and come back?”
He nodded, leaned in to kiss her forehead, touch her belly and then opened the door.

“She’s awake?” said Molly immediately,
He nodded “She wants to speak to you and Arthur”
They looked at each other and Molly came forward, he stepped out of the way to let them in, the others were staring at him and it looked like shock – “What?” he asked with a smile,
“Erm…” said Hermione
“Your face is purple on one side, your t-shirt’s got a big rip in it and you’re covered in blood” said Draco “But you’re smiling like you’ve never been happier”
“I never noticed” he shrugged with a grin and closed the door going back inside.

Molly was busy hugging Ginny and by the look on her face, Ginny couldn’t wait to get free of her.
“Mum” she started to complain “Can you let go?”
“I’m just so happy you’re ok”
“I’m fine, just let me breathe”
Molly sat back,
“We’re engaged” Said Ginny quickly,
“Gin” said Harry looking at her surprised,
“What? Did you want me to build it up and give them warning or something?”
“Giving me warning would have been nice” he grinned
Arthur was laughing and Molly blinking,
“It’s going to be a long engagement so don’t get any ideas” Ginny started
Molly’s face seemingly fell, “But-“
“Mum, I’m telling you now because it’s been a while since he asked and the other thing is if I go home, it’ll be with Harry”
“But-“
“With Harry” she said firmly, “And the wedding will be when we decide”
“Congratulations” smiled Arthur leaning down to kiss her forehead “Let’s leave her to her friends” he lead Molly out “But”
“Molly”
“Thank you” said Harry, he hugged them both as they left.

Chapter One Hundred and Four

“I want to get up, lying here’s so boring”
“He said rest, so you’re going to rest”
“But-”
“You know how much you sound like your mum” Harry said jokingly,
Ginny looked at him angrily “Don’t you start with me Potter”
“Gin”
“Your being mean you can’t call me that” she pouted,
“Be sensible and let me look after you” he said smiling “You’re lying on the couch in the living room it’s not like I’m keeping you locked up in our bedroom without visitors”
“Hmm”
“You’ve got four months left, your going to have to get used to it” he grinned,
“What about training?”
“It’s sorted out; I’ve got a year to get to know our daughter before I go anywhere”
“You’re putting it off?”
“For a good reason, I’m going to be here and I’m not going to miss a thing”
“If you’re sure”
“Couldn’t be more” he grinned “Ron’s taking my place for this year”

*****
“I’ll go with your mum”
“No!”
“Why not, your due in a month, she’s needs stuff and you can’t walk further then the kitchen and back”
“She’ll get nasty frilly stuff”
“I’ll go with Hermione”
“That’s better – take Keek’s and Amy as well”
“And all you’ll have for company is your mum?”
“She’s better off here then shopping with you”
“Fine”
“But why didn’t we go sooner?”
“We did, there are just some last things – the big things like a pram and cot - you’ve already picked out a wardrobe until she’s a teenager” he smiled,
“So I was a little over enthusiastic”
“I don’t blame you, I think it’s funny”
“Oi” She hit his arm,
“It won’t take long” he said leaning in to kiss her, “And I’ll let you see everything we see in the shop before we buy it ok?”
“You better” she grinned leaning to kiss him this time,
“Even if it annoys the hell out of me I’ll show you everything” he smirked and she hit his arm again before kissing him.
“Go on then”
He stood up “I’m going bossy boots”

*****

‘I like that one’
‘Yep so do the others’
“She picked yet?” said Hermione smiling,
‘Yes’ – “Yes” he pointed “That one, we’re finished right” he breath a sigh of relief when they nodded,
“Good, because every time I space out to talk to her, the woman looks at me funny”
“You wanted to shop in diagon alley” they grinned “And with three girls” put it Kiki,
“What was I thinking?” he smirked “Let’s get it and go home”

They shrunk the boxes to fit in there bags and were on there way home when -
‘Harry… Hurry up’
‘Is she coming?’
‘Yes’ she got out before crying out in pain,
‘Is your mum there?’
‘Yes - Mungo’s – send a patronus to our healer and hurry up’
“We have to go!” he took out his wand sending the stag patronus charging down the middle of Diagon alley parting the crowds and disappearing on its way to the hospital,
“Is she –“
He nodded before Hermione could finish and apparated to the front door before the others could speak. He ran in but the commotion was not in the living room where he had left them.
“Gin” he called out,
“HARRY!” She yelled, he ran to the bathroom to see her sitting on the floor, Molly gave her hand to him as he replaced her at Ginny’s side.
“I’m here Gin”
“ARGH -” She cried out, “- YOU’RE SO GOING TO PAY FOR THIS POTTER!”
He couldn’t help but smile, “You can do anything you like to me I promise” He rubbed her back, watching the sweat glistening on her forehead,
“YOU’RE HAVING THE NEXT ONE!”
He chuckled, “Don’t think they’ve got that far with science Gin”
There was knocking at the front door –
“I’ll let him in” Molly said hurrying down,
“OWWWWWW -” She cried out, but Harry felt strangely calm, he had expected to be panicking and freaking out but he just held her hand and kissed her forehead as she leant against him,
“- THIS BETTER NOT TAKE ALL NIGHT!”
“It shouldn’t”
She squeezed his hand, “She’ll be alright won’t she?” she asked him, looking up as if begging him to tell her everything was going to be ok,
“She’s going to be perfect” he said with a smile “Like her mum”
She smiled briefly before it turned back to pain. The healer arrived at the door, took one wave of his wand and said
“Keep doing what your doing and you’ll be fine, at this rate she won’t take long to arrive -”
“OWWWWWWW! - ”

***
“And here she is” The healer cradled the crying baby wrapped in a blanket and handed her to a sobbing Ginny,
“She’s beautiful”
“Amazing” Harry smiled, staring at her, the tiny hands and fingers waving at him, the short mop of jet black hair and the little eyes looking them.
“Do we have a name?” The healer asked
“We don’t” Said Ginny,
“We never picked” Said Harry “What do you like?”He said both there sets of eyes still watching her,
“She’s not a Lily” Ginny mused, gazing at her “Or a Rose, she’s more… she’s – she’s … an Orchid?”
“Orchid” He said as if testing it out,
“Orchid Potter… is it weird?” She asked,
“I love it” he smiled “For the middle?”
“Are you thinking the same as me?”
“Minerva” he said and she nodded happily,
“Exactly”
“Welcome to the world Orchid Minerva Potter” Harry grinned, Ginny handed her too him watching them,
“She’s going to be a daddy’s girl” she smiled as Orchid stopped crying in his arms.
“She’s our girl” he smiled as she grasped his finger.

*****
Hermione answered the door with a smile knowing it would be the only Weasley not there yet “Orchid?” Said Charlie,
“Just wait until you see her and then you’ll know it fits” Smiled Hermione leading him in from the front door. They walked into the packed room, the whole Weasley family there, along with the residents of the house and Willow, Kaleb, Nehelenia, Professor McGonagall, and Lupin, Tonks and now Teddy, the only thing was they were all talking in whispers.
She was sleeping in Harry’s arms,
“She wouldn’t be moved then” Grinned Charlie looking,
“They tried taking her to the cot, but she settles in his arms quicker”
He looked to his little sister, in pyjamas and dressing gown; she was sleeping next to him her head resting on his shoulder “Like Ginny?”
“Exactly” Hermione said with a smile.
He walked over closer,
“Your right” he whispered taking on look that turned into a stare “Definitely an Orchid”
“Glad you approve” smiled Ginny with a yawn, opening her eyes.
“We should put you both to bed - again” Said Harry with a grin, “And please don’t say your not tired cause I know your lying” he smirked and she giggled quietly,
“Having a baby on the bathroom floor can do that to you”
“Come on then” he smiled standing up, he gave Orchid to Charlie in a what looked like a smooth movement he’d been practicing because she didn’t even stir, and then helped Ginny up,
“The bathroom floor?” said Charlie incredulously, looking down at Orchid
“She was impatient” Ginny smiled
“Like her mother in that too” he chuckled and she smiled as he handed her back to her,

“Night” Yawned Ginny,
“Night” came the whole room in a whisper and Harry laughed quietly, leading them up the stairs.
They put her in the cot beside there bed, looking down at her,
“She’s more perfect then I expected” Ginny sighed contentedly,
Harry just smiled, squeezing her to his side; she turned to him and tiptoed up to kiss him.
He looked down at her “Thank you for giving us her Gin”
She smiled “We’re waiting a while before the next one”
“Whatever you want” he grinned leaning down to kiss her again,
“Love you” she smiled moving away to lie on the bed,
“Love you too” he smiled going to the door.
