...
I woke up today and ran to the bathroom. Harry was already in there.
"Harry! Can you please hurry up!?" I half screamed.
"I'm in the shower Gin! Give me a minute!"
I started to speak, but instead, I fell to the ground and threw up all over the floor.
"Harry!" I yelled, panicking.
He came running out of the bathroom, dripping wet and wearing nothing at all.
"Gin! What happened?"
"Harry! Towel!"
He looked down at his naked body and nodded before accioing a towel. He wrapped it around his lower half before bending down next to me.
"Are you okay? Scrugio!" He asked and then pointed his wand at the throw-up, causing it to disappear.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Harry... help me up, I need to check something!"
He pulled me up gently and I ran to my bedside drawer. I took out my calendar and gasped.
"What happened? Are you okay? Ginny?"
"Harry... I-umm-my periods 10 days late."
"Ok, and? Oh! ohhhhh!" He said, changing from confused to understanding in just a few seconds.
"There's a cabinet in the bathroom, I'm just going to..." I said, walking past him to the bathroom and he nodded.
I went into the bathroom and took the test. I left it on the counter and set a timer for 10 minutes. Harry changed and we sat on the bed with my head against Harry's shoulder as he played with my hair.
——— 10 minutes later
"Harry, can you come with me to check?"
He dropped my hair and we both got up. I picked the test up, upside down, and we both closed our eyes.
"3...2...1...open" he counted, and we opened our eyes.

I dropped the test out of shock as Harry kissed me, full force on the lips. Then he led me out of the bathroom and into the bedroom. He picked me up and started spinning me. He did that for a few seconds until he realized one of us would hit something.
So he put me down and held my hand as we ran down the stairs. We went to the common room, which was much bigger but filled with people, and picked me up to spin me. He put me down when someone spoke. I looked around the room: Zabini, Luna, Ron, Lavender, Neville, Daphne, Pansy, Dean, Seamus, Parvati. Basically everyone except Hermione and Malfoy and Nott and Astoria.
"Why are you doing that Potter? We can't even do homework without you Gryffindors squealing, can we?" asked Zabini, but he was smiling so we knew he was joking.
Harry looked at me and I nodded.
"Well, Ginny... you sure?" I nodded again and he continued, "Ginny is pregnant!"
Zabini and Luna were the first to say congratulations. Then Dean, Seamus, and Neville came over, congratulating both of us and then just Harry for 'knocking up a girl first'. Daphne and Pansy came over with Parvati, who had become friends with them due to their husbands and fiancés being friends.
Ron and Lavender were sitting in the corner. From what I could see, Lavender was crying and Ron was switching between hugging her and glaring at us.
Eventually, everyone left except the four of us.
"What's wrong with you mate?" Harry asked, glaring at Ron but still smiling and holding my hand, "For the past 10 minutes, you've been glaring at us!"
"You wanna know what my problem is!? Do ya?"
Harry nodded and I just watched them.
"First of all, Harry, you just told a bunch of Slytherins before your own best friend and brother-in-law. Second, you just publicly admitted that you've been shagging my little sister, and you expect me to be happy? It's bad enough for you two to date, kiss, and get married, but pregnant! Really?! And third, my wife just had a miscarriage last week and you're over here parading the fact that you are pregnant!"
By the end of it, tears were pouring out of my eyes. Harry, who had been staring at Ron in shock all this time, noticed and hugged me, kissing my head.
We both walked away, to tell Hermione, and I could feel Ron's glares on my back.
When we went upstairs to Hermione's room, the door was open. Harry said he was going to go do something and be back. I nodded as he left.
"Hermione?" I whispered in a very squeaky voice.
She appeared from the bathroom. Her hair was messed up and so were her clothes.
"Ginny! Come in! Ermm, one second..." She said, picking a pile of papers off half the couches and motioning for me to sit.
As I walked in I noticed that the whole thing was messy, with papers and clothes all over the room.
"Ginny, are you okay? Why are you crying?" She asked worriedly, sitting down next to me, on top of a pile of papers. I was going to say that I'm fine but when I opened my mouth, I started crying and telling her everything.
"I threw up and then took a pregnancy test and it's positive and I'm sure that I am pregnant and then Harry was excited, and so am I. But anyways, he took me downstairs to spin me around since our room is too small and we ended up telling everyone and everyone said congratulations right? Well no! Everyone did, except Ron and Lavender. Lavender just sat in the corner crying and Ron came over and got mad at us. He got mad for not telling him before everyone else, he got mad at Harry for f***ing me and he got mad at both of us for being about pregnancy when his wife just had a miscarriage. And then... Hermione? Ron's a b***h!"
Hermione just sat there, stunned for a second before hugging me. Then we heard clapping, slow but not sarcastic clapping.
"Congratulations Weaselette! You finally called Weasley a b***h! And congrats on the baby too, but mostly the Weasley thing." Malfoy said, coming out from the bathroom. He has his usual smirk on his face, but it looked forced, not natural like it normally did. And he had tear stains down his cheeks, he had clearly been crying, but I didn't say anything.
"I'm not Weaselette anymore you know. I'm a Potter now!"
He just shrugged and walked over to sit on the couch's arm on Hermione's side.
"Wait! Oh Merlin! Hermione! You're getting married in a week! That's why the room is such a mess! Blimey, I just came in here and started talking, you have to plan! Sorry, I'll leave!"
"No Ginny, it's fine! We're basically done, you can stay. Congratulations! How are you feeling?"
"Other than the whole Ron situation, great! I definitely don't feel like I threw up some time ago."
She nodded and smiled at me and I smiled back but said I would leave. She might have said I could stay, but I knew forced invitation when I heard one. She and Malfoy probably wanted to shag, and who was I to stop them?!
I went back to the room and took a small nap, wondering where Harry was. But eventually he came and slept next to me. We hadn't done that in a long time, just slept.
