《A Harry Potter Love Story: Gracie Style *Completed*》Chapter 2

IMPORTANT: so I was told Wattpad only allows one hundred chapters per book. If so, it'll be called the same thing, but with a two at the end. Okay? Or go to my page. Yeah. That's easier. Oh, and let me know what you think of the new cover. I put that on the other one too, but just to make sure. I don't know if I like it, I've got a back up, but the backup is used on here a lot. The one I've got is similar, but I haven't seen it on here. Anyway, I just wanted to let you guys know because we're cutting it close. I think this is ninety nine! It doesn't feel like it though! I feel like I started this book a week ago, but it's had to have been at least two months!!! Okay. Back to the story.

-------------------------------------------------------

"Whatcha gonna name the baby?" Lilly asked, poking Nat's belly. I giggled, listening to her toddler talk. That's what I call it. Mum, Lilly, Preggers, an I are sitting in the living room waiting on Tonks. Dad, Harry, and James went over to Moony's. Stupid heartbreaker. He's breaking Tonks! The guys are so oblivious, but I'm not. Harry also told me where he went. Slughorn seems decent, but it sounds like he'll only be interested if you're worth collecting.

Anyway, back to Tonks. When we got to the burrow to et our results yesterday, I walked in on Tonks and Molly talking, and let me tell you, it broke my heart. Moony doesn't understand, she doesn't care whether he's a werewolf! She loves HIM! For HIMSELF! Not what he turns into. Tonks is smart, she can take care of herself. And as to the whole, what if my baby gets the gene? Did Tonks ever mention a baby? No. That was wishful thinking on his part. And even if t does, I can't wait to have my furry little cousin because guess what, I'll love him or her either way.

And my kids, or Lilly and James, and Nat's baby, they could be the third generation of mauraders! It'd be amazing. I mean come on, he's making excuses because he's scared. Nat an I already have a plan to chew him out. He's going to admit his true feelings for Tonks whether he wants to or not!

"I don't know squirt. Want to help me?" Nat asked, pulling Lilly up on her lap. It was cute! I think this is bringing out the mum in her. Lilly giggled, but nodded yes.

"Baby!"

"Uhm, okay. Good start. But we need something a little more specific silly!" Nat chuckled, shaking her head. Then she looked at me. "You! Your good at names. Pick one!"

"Me?"

"Yes you. You picked Lilly and James' names!"

Lilly's eyes went wide. "You did?" I winked at her, nodding. "Name the baby! Name the baby!"

"Hey hey hey, I can't give away all of my names!" I laughed, even though I was serious. I can't wait to me a mum. When all of this is over that is. I love kids, and I love the thought of having one of my own, especially with someone I love. Like Harry.

"Come on! Please? I'm four months! That only leaves like, uhm, er, how many more?" She whispered the last part to my mum while I rolled my eyes.

"Nine. Well, they say nine months, but it's really ten. That means you have about five moths left, give or take a couple of weeks!" I shrugged, smiling at her. Her eyes bulged and her jaw dropped.

"Take?" She squeaked, looking really scared. I rolled my eyes.

"Babies come when they want to. If the little booger is premature, well, it's premature. As long as her lungs and stuff are fully developed, she'll be fine, premature or not. It just means she'll be kind of tiny. Which means Aunt Gracie wants extra pictures!" I laughed, shaking my head again. Merlin, the kid isn't even close to coming as we are all already in love with her. "Speaking of the little booger, when are we doing a baby shower?"

"Ugh! No no no! I don't want a baby shower!"

"To bad! It isn't for you! It's for my little goddaughter. Or son. Preferably daughter, but I'll love it either way!" I mused, then shrugged my shoulders. "Nat, when do you find out whether its a boy or a girl?"

"Er, in twenty minutes?" My jaw dropped. I stood up and smacked the back of her head. Through all of this, I completely forgot our conversation with Tonks.

"We will be back! Stay strong! We love you!" I smiled, pulling Nat upstairs. "Fred! Fred!"

"What the bloody hell are you doing? He's in Diagon Alley! He can't hear you?" Nat gave me this look like I was crazy.

"Damn! I miss the days when he lived in the room above us!" I pouted, pulling my wand. I looked around, locked the door, and waved it. "What the ministry don't know won't hurt em!" I sent a patronus telling Fred and George to close up and get over here. They were there within five minutes. "To whatever hospital you all have been going to!" I smiled, grabbing George's arm. We apparated there, and when we walked in, Nat received a lot of dirty looks. That severely pissed me off, but I ignored it for her sake. A nurse came to take us back. We were led inside a room in silence, nobody saying a word. She was eyeing the four of us incredulously.

"Two sets of twins?" She asked, shaking her head. I laughed, shaking my head as well.

"No. She's my cousin. And they met because when my Mum died, I was adopted by these two nutters family. They're my brothers, for all intents and purposes but blood." I smiled, watching realization dawn on her. She only nodded before scurrying off. This is a muggle hospital. What if they take blood and find magic in it? "Er, what happens if they need a blood sample?"

"Already checked. They don't. We did that at Mungo's. This is just an ultrasound." Nat shrugged, letting Fred help her onto the bed that was sitting there. The nurse came back a minute later with a television and some other equipment. Nat is the one who wants to be a healer, so I'm completely lost. She rolled her eyes when she saw my face. "It's so we can see the baby dork!"

"Oh. Okay. I'd say I knew that, but I didn't."

She smirked, rolling her eyes. Then jumped. "Cold! Cold! Okay. Okay. That's better!" She smiled, relaxing again. I rolled my eyes, watching the monitor. You could see the baby inside. It's beautiful. I heard Nat sniffling and Fred's eyes were all red and puffy. Even George looked like he was going to cry. "T,that's my baby!"

"Your little girl!" The nurse smiled softly. "I'll give you all a minute. But just so you know, the heart rate is healthy and I'd say she'll be fully developed within the month!" She nodded at all of us, then left the room.

"Hear that Freddy? You get a Daddy's girl!" George teased, his voice cracking at the end. I smiled, looking at Nat. I know she wanted a girl, and now she gets one.

"I'm happy for you!" I whispered, tearing up. Her eyes darted to mine and she pulled me down into a hug.

"Thank you!" She smiled, then pulled me closer and whispered so that only I could hear. "Don't cry. You'll get your little girl. And she's going to be beautiful. Beautiful and smart and funny and talented! And my little girl will love her forever!"

I smiled, but the tears streaked. What am I thinking anyway? I'm sixteen. Plus this war is coming! It's just not a good time for a baby. Besides, who says Harry will even want kids? I just need to stop thinking about it. "Thanks Nat. Uh, would it be okay if I went ahead and left? I want to check on Ginny. She hasn't come out of her room for days. Something's definitely wrong." You could hear the broken sound in my voice, but I'm not entirely sure why. I've been so strong here recently! I don't let anything affect me.

I put away all the insecurities, all the worries in my mind. Everything to do with this prophecy. I made it clear to myself that I'll be okay and so will Harry. I promised not to let it affect who I want to be. Did I break that promise already?

I barely noticed her nod and George grab my arm. We apparated to the burrow, but I didn't say anything to Fred. I walked to Ginny and I's old room, opened the door, closed my eyes, closed it, and slid down them. "Gracie?" A broken sniffle sounded across the room. I shot my head up, we're both in tears. "What happened? Did you and Harry break up?"

"No. Just, all the strength I've been using, starting to weaken. That's all. What about you? Want to tell big sis what's been going on?" I whispered, moving to sit at the foot of the bed. She bit her lip, tearing up again. She didn't say anything, just pulled a crumpled up paper out from under her pillow. It had tear stains and looked like it had been reread over and over.

Dear Ginny, I'm sorry, but it isn't going to work out. I'm sorry. I can't do this anymore. Please believe me when I say I love you and I haven't changed. Something bad has happened, and I can't tell you. I can't tell anyone actually. All I can say is this. I'm scared. But I can't say anything else in fear you or someone else I love gets hurt. Someday I hope you'll forgive me.

Love, Draco

I read it three times before it sunk in. He broke up with her. He broke her heart. I pulled her into my arms, letting her cry on my shoulder. "Shhhh it's okay. Everything will be okay."

"No it won't! You know how insecure I am. I worry about everything. That I'm not pretty enough, I'm to fat, I'm not funny enough, smart enough, that no one wants me, no one cares, that I'm too whiny. And look! Now I've been left! I can't handle this! I bottle it up all the time, put on a smile and pretend its okay. The smile was real when I'm with Draco. He made me feel like I'm perfect the way I am! And now he's gone!"

Little people know how insecure Ginny really is. You always hear about girls who are totally insecure, but the truth is, everyone is a little insecure. Everyone has one thing they don't like about themselves. Ginny happens to have more than others, but that's okay. It's the little things that make you love her more. I always think flaws are more attractive, it means your human too.

"Ginny stop that! You're beautiful! And no matter what, you still have Nat and Mione. Not to mention a bunch of big brothers who absolutely adore you. A mum and dad who would die if anything happened to you. Dad and Mum love you like another daughter. And Draco still loves you. Obviously, it has something to do with this war. He's scared. He's been involved, whether he wants to be, I don't know. But he still loves you. And over all of that, you will ALWAYS have me. Always. No matter what." I kissed the top of her head when I finished my speech. I waited till she stopped crying before continuing. "I couldn't ask for a better little sister!" I smiled, hugging her from the sides.

"What about Lilly?" She sniffled, looking up at me. Her eyes were big and innocent, it reminded me of when we were little and she'd cry and look up at me for guidance. I miss those days. But I wouldn't trade my life now for anything.

"Lilly and I are fourteen years apart. Don't get me wrong, I love her to death, but I can't do the things I could do with you with her. Besides, there are some things I wouldn't do with anyone but you! You were my first little sister. You made me a big sister! You've known me since the day you were born! We grew up together! Your birthday is actually pretty close to mine! You know me better than anyone! Better than Nat and Mione, better than Ron or Harry. Better than any adult in this world! You know EVERY secret I've ever had. And you've kept everyone I asked you to keep! I love you Gin!"

"I love you too Gracie!"

She finally smiled. Thank goodness. I nodded, smiling at her. I need to go to Diagon Alley. "Hey, want to come to Diagon Alley with me? Need to get school supplies."

"Sure. But, won't the adults get mad?" I opened my mouth to answer her question, but there was a pop downstairs. I pulled my wand, covering her mouth with my other hand. It's common knowledge Harry and I are at the burrow a lot, and we haven't put any protective spells over it yet. Any death eater could break in at any time. There was a loud crash.

"Stay here!" I whispered, walking towards the door. "Stay quiet, and send a patronus to the order!" She went to protest, but I slipped out the door quickly and quietly. I crept down the stairs. There was a huge mark on the floor and shattered glass everywhere. I checked the hands on the clock in the living room. Arthur was at work along with Percy, Fred, and George, meaning Nat was with them. Ron was traveling meaning he's still with Harry and Dad, and Bill and Charlie are 'out'. Ginny and I were 'in mortal peril'. Brilliant.

I whispered a charm, trying to protect myself from being seen, but I didn't do very well. I made my arm invisible. I used the counter charm, fixing it quickly. Them rounded the corner. "Avada Kedavra!" I spun around, yelling Protego at the top of my lungs. Rookwood. "Stupefy!"

"Protego! Petrificus Totalus!" He blocked it easily. Ginny yelped from upstairs. "Ginny!" He was caught off guard, smirking at the staircase. "Stupefy!" Down he went. I took off running upstairs. A death eater had a wand to Ginny's head and she looked angry. She was muttering curse under curse under her breath, but she can't do wandless magic, and he has hers.

"Well well. Took care of Rookwood did you?"

"Sure did! And your next Dolohov!" I snarled, putting my wand in duel position. "Let her go. And we'll see if you can take me!" I smirked, knowing he would take the challenge. He threw Ginny on the bed and she took off running, heading downstairs. "Well, your move!"

"I'm not foolish! Your move!"

"We can stay like this all day, see if I care!" I snapped, sending him my most powerful glare. Imagine if Ginny was here alone? She would be dead or captured! I'm glad I came!

"No no no. You see, I've got two underage girls on my hands, an I've called in back up! Therefore, you're going to be coming with me and she, well, I'm sure someone could find her, entertaining!"

"You sick bastard!" I screamed, right as the door kicked open. I didn't check who it was. As long as Ginny gets out I don't care. "Avada Kedavra!" He blocked it, eyes widening. "Crucio!" It hit him, but did not take long for him to overpower. "No one will ever 'use' Ginny as long as I'm around. Tell me, has it been that long? So long that you would have to take advantage of a fifteen year old girl to satisfy yourself? Petrificus Totalus!"

He laughed a cold, dark laugh blocking the curse easily. "Stupefy!" I blocked it, but barely. "Crucio!" I wasn't ready. This one hit me, hard. I didn't scream, but I did drop to my knees. I writhed around, trying to fight through it. Why haven't the death eaters taken me already? Did they take Ginny?

"No! Stupefy!" That was Harry, he missed, but the curse stopped. "Petrificus Totalus!" Dolohov blocked again.

"Reducto!" I did it, I hit him! Harry finished by stupefying him, then he ran to me, helping me to my feet.

"What happened? Are you alright?" He cupped my face in his hands, his worried eyes searching my own. I smiled, hugging him as best I could with his hands still wrapped around my face. He finally moved them, sighing. He hugged me back tightly.

"I'm fine. Ginny an I were talking here alone when I heard the pop. I pulled my wand in case then there was a crash, so I went to investigate. I told her to send a message to the Order and wait here. Did to get Rookwood? Where's Ginny?"

"Right here! I sent like ten patronuses. I panicked!" She giggled, walking forward. I smiled, turning around for the first time. Mum and Dad were here, along with Molly and Arthur, Moony, Kingsley, Tonks, Fred and Nat, a very guilty looking George, Mione, Ron, and the little twins, who were looking at me wide eyed. Oh no. They, they're scared? Of me? No. No no no no no!

I broke out of Harry's arms and approached them slowly. They backed away, a scared look on their face. That hurt. I sighed, sitting on the floor cross legged. "It's okay you know?" I whispered, making sure not to break eye contact. James moved in front of Lilly like I was going to hurt her or something. More hurt. "I would be scared to. Sissy was being mean to that guy, wasn't she?"

"Yeah!" James said, kind of cautiously. He stepped closer, Lilly stepped out from behind him. Nat snorted, so I sent her a glare, effectively silencing her. "Why were you being mean?"

"Well, I didn't mean to. But that was a bad guy. Remember when Mummy and Daddy told us that some bad guys might try to hurt us, and that we might have to be mean so we're safe?"

"He's a bad guy?" Lilly asked, speaking for the first time. Her eyes flickered between me and Dolohov. I nodded, hoping she'd understand. She squealed and ran to me, hiding from the man. James followed, but he eyed him over my shoulder. Then he smirked, walking over to the death eater. You could see the gleam of mischief in his eyes.

"Hey little man! Get away from him!" Harry yelled, jogging after James. But not before the little trouble maker aimed a swift kick where the sun don't shine.

"You're mean! Don't hurt my sister!" He yelled, kicking him over and over again. My hand flew to my mouth as I tried to cover my laughter, Natalyn on the other hand, was having none of that. She, the twins, and Ron were rolling on the floor, dying of laughter. Mione and Ginny were staring at him speechless. Dad and Moony were bro hugging while laughing.

"That's my son!" Dad cheered happily. Mum, Tonks, and Molly were holding back giggles like me, and Kingsley and Arthur were hauling Rookwood up the stairs. They missed it. Lilly jumped up and down, squealing and clapping while giggling like crazy. Harry grabbed James, pulling him away from Dolohov. He walked over, sitting James in front of me. He then proceeded to collapse to the ground in laughter. My little brother is amazing!

"Thank you James!" I smiled, hugging him tightly. He smirked, probably pretty proud of himself.

"Dad and Harry and Uncle Moony taught me that trick!" He smiled at them, while Dad stuck his thumbs up. Moony winked at James and Harry ruffled his hair.

"You did good kid!" He laughed, hugging him with one arm. I giggled, nodding. Lilly ran to James, hugging him.

"Hey! I still haven't see. Your store! Can we go to Diagon Alley?" Ginny asked, bringing up the earlier question. I turned to Harry for a response, though I'm not sure why. He looked incredibly handsome, leaning on his elbow the way he was, lying there with a smile on his face. Anyway, he quirked an eyebrow, looking at me in a confused yet completely amused manner. I rolled my eyes, turning away from him to Mum and Dad.

"Hey, the twins have never been to Diagon Alley at all!" I said, playing with one of Lilly's curls. She giggled, running to Mum.

"Diagon Alley? Sounds fine!" Dad smiled, picking James up as well. Well, this should be good.
