The Marriage Law - A Harry Potter Fanfic

27

I was a mess, a complete and utter mess. It had been a week since Pansy sent me Miones wedding vows. I hadn't gone back to the place I was sharing with Angie or to the shop, I was still randomly bursting into tears at any given moment and George was still staying with me, only leaving when the shop was halfway done being repaired to put a sign telling people it wouldn't be open for awhile.

My wand had been taken away because George was terrified that I'd start self harming...I have to admit that the thought had crossed my mind. Pain to take away the pain, but I was under constant watch, either George or Ginny was always in the house.

"Fred?"

I stayed where I was looking out the window "Yeah?"

"Do you want to go home?"

"I don't think I'll ever be home Ginny, my home is with Hermione, Whom if you haven't noticed has disappeared."

We were both quiet until she whispered "Angie's set the wedding date."

"I'm not marrying her, I can't. Not now."

She gave me a glare that would've made mum proud "You want to forget about us? Do you realize what the Ministry does when you say no?"

I turned around to face my little sister "I KNOW WHAT BLOODY HAPPENS, IF YOU DON'T REMEMBER THAT'S WHY MY WIFE IS GONE."

"YOU FALSIFIED YOUR MARRIAGE!!"

I slammed my hand on the table "I DID NOT!! I didn't...I swear."

"Then why were you sent to Azkaban?"

"Because I asked Lee to get ordained while I was in St. Mungos, the Ministry got wind of it, I asked Heather what would happen if Hermione and I got married anyways and someone overheard. They couldn't let it get out, then they told me they'd not only put me in Azkaban but also put Hermione in."

Ginny looked shocked and I turned away "Technically there would be no problems if I had married her but the Ministry didn't want it to get out that people could bypass the law as long as they got married and could reproduce a child."

"Why didn't you go to Kingsley? Why didn't you do it and then go on the run? Why didn't they change your partner? WHY DID YOU LET HER DO THAT?"

"I don't know...I DON'T KNOW!! I was a bloody idiot!!"

Ginny cried softly as she buried her face in her hands "Yeah, Yeah you are."

"Huh, Gryffindors these days."

Both Ginny and I looked up to see Pansy standing there with a stick in her hand. She smiled a little and gestured to one of the chairs "May I?"

I spoke softly "Where is she?"

Pansy walked over and sat down biting her lip "At the house with Blaise."

"WHERE?"

Pansy held up the stick "This is the only reason I'm here."

Ginny's mouth opened slightly as she stared at it "T-that's...a pregnancy test..."

I shot over and ripped the test from Pansy's hand my breath coming in gasps as I stared at the little thing "W-what's positive? Two lines? Or one?"

Pansy sighed "it's positive Weasel."

I swallowed and murmured quietly "You have to make sure she stays in bed, she can't lose this baby."

"She is staying in bed, I've taught her how to knit, she's making me a sweater."

Ginny snorted "You know how to knit?"

Pansy glared at the other woman and raised her nose in the air "Yes Weaslette, all Parkinson women know how to take care of people. I'm a lady after all, unlike you."

Ginny reached out to slap Pansy and Pansy caught her wrist "If you want to know what's going on with Granger then you'll put your damn hand down."

I looked down at the pregnancy test and sighed softly "Are you positive?"

Pansy's cheeks flushed "How did you know?"

I looked at her "What?"

"That I'm pregnant? How the hell did you know?"

I blinked sorta shocked "I didn't, I was asking if you're sure? If you're positive that she's pregnant."

She blushed "Oh...yeah, That was one of 22 that came out positive, we only bought 22 for her. Those things are expensive, Blaise was very unimpressed. Have you bought any yet Ginny?"

"No."

Pansy rolled her eyes "You best get started, I'm sure Dean Thomas is much better in bed then Potter the prude."

Ginny's cheeks flushed angrily and she was about to scream at Pansy when I spoke softly covering my sister's mouth "Can I see her?"

"I don't think so, and as a side note if you tell anyone I'm pregnant I will kill you."

I glared at Pansy "Please?"

She studied my face "I have a feeling your not actually asking."

"I need to see her."

"I can't let you, I really can't. She doesn't remember you, Heather Davis came and made sure all her memories were gone."

I walked over to Pansy and grabbed her chin "Take me to her, now."

"I promised her I wouldn't."

"You will, NOW!!"

Pansy clenched her jaw before standing "You can't lose your head ok? She's a muggle and you don't know each other."

I nodded and she took my arm "Ready?"

Ginny stood "Woah!! Stop!! You're not going without me!!"

Pansy looked at her "No, you can't come, it'll be too much for her. Plus you won't be able to stop from throwing yourself into her arms."

I looked at my sister and pulled Pansy's wand out of her pocket "Petrificus Totalus."

Ginny's arms and legs snapped together, she glared at me furiously as I looked up at the clock on the wall "George will be home in a half hour, he'll help you out."

Pansy smiled "I didn't think you'd do that."

"I want to see my wife, now Parkinson. And I will, by any means necessary."

She snatched her wand back and grinned "I think the sorting hat got it wrong, you're totally a Slytherin."

"I'm offended."

"Mhm...totally."

"Shut up and apparate."

"Yes my fellow Slytherin."

"Shut up!!"
