I had been sitting on the floor against the couch, holding Lyra, as Ginny ran her hands through my hair. She also tried combing it, but that didn't work. I felt something wet on it and thought she had tried wetting it to remove the tangles, until she said, "Oh! Harry!"

I looked up and saw that her pants were wet.

"Oh Sh*t! Ginny!" I started to stand up but she quickly pushed me back down, reminding me of the baby in my lap. I nodded and, picking up the baby, stood up while screaming, "LUNA! ZABINI! Ginny's water broke!"

Within a few seconds, Zabini came running down. He took the baby and went upstairs to put her in the crib.

"Ginny? Are you okay?" I asked worriedly, pacing around.

"Ermmm...yeah!" She said, sounding surprised.

"Come on Gin, we're going to St. Mungo's." I said, starting to pick her up.

"No Harry! Please! Can you just help me up? I'm fine! Just really hungry! Can we go get lunch? Its already past noon!" She said, rubbing her stomach hungrily, as I looked at her like she was crazy.

I wanted to refuse, but she shook her head. "Fine Gin. But, as soon as you eat, we are going to St. Mungo's."

She opened her mouth and started to say no, but I looked at her, and she nodded silently.

I helped her up and we walked slowly to the Great Hall. I helped Ginny onto the bench and watched in amazement as she piled food on her plate.

She took roast chicken and poured on some pumpkin juice. Then, she took a few wand sticks and crumbled them over the food. After that, she took a spoon and started eating.

"Wut?" She asked, mouth filled with her weird food.

"Ermmm, is it good?" I asked hesitantly and she nodded, "Sooo good! Merlin Harry, have you never tried it?! You have to!" She said, heaping a big spoonful and shoving it towards my mouth. I opened my mouth slightly and she put it into my mouth. Then she stared at me until I swallowed.

It was disgusting!

I automatically cringed, but then saw Ginny's smile disappear and her eyes fill with tears and forced myself to smile.

"Mmmm! It's so good! How are you going to eat all that Ginny?" I asked, watching her pile even more food on her plate.

"Harry! I am cooking our child! I have full right to eat all of this!" replied Ginny, shoveling food into her mouth faster than even Ron.

I started to reply when she pushed her plate towards me, "Actually... I want ice cream. Can we get ice cream before going to the hospital?"

"No Ginny! You have to go to the hospital! Come on!" I said, she ignored me and, pulling her plate back to her, continued eating.

I sat in silence, watching her eat. I had just looked away when she tapped me on the shoulder.

"Ginny! What happened?!" I asked loudly, causing many people to turn around and stare at me but I ignored them.

"I'm done eating, and we can go to the hospital wing now." She said, starting to stand up. I lightly pushed her back down and had her sit.

"We have to go to St. Mungo's. Can you walk or should I levitate you?"

"No! Not St. Mungo's! How would we get there? I'm not supposed to apparate or Floo, and definitely not broomsticks. We have to go to the hospital wing. I can walk." She said. I helped her stand and she started to walk.
