[HP Translation] Ginny's Punishment

"Congratulations, Mrs. Weasley. According to our estimates, you are twelve weeks pregnant." said the doctor, writing something on the watch.

"What?" Ginny asked, unable to believe what she heard.

"You are twelve weeks pregnant, Mrs. Weasley. Now, I am going to prescribe you some antenatal medicine, and I hope you will come for a check-up every four weeks so that we can monitor the pregnancy."

"I am pregnant?"

The doctor seemed to realize that Ginny didn't seem to be thinking at the same speed as her, and she put down her pen.

"Yes, Mrs. Weasley. You are pregnant."

"It's Miss Weasley," said Ginny absently, staring at the tiled floor.

Pregnant?How can she be pregnant?She had been taking birth control pills when she was with Snape.She's sure she didn't miss it...

Then Ginny thought.The month of the final battle, Snape hadn't given her birth control pills, because he'd been locked up in St. Mungo's and the mess.And she just thought she could let go of the past and move on.

Ginny looked up, realizing that the doctor was still talking to her.

Ginny waited until the woman's mouth stopped moving, then walked out of the room.

Hell, this woman is already planning her pregnancy and she doesn't even know if she wants to keep it.

Ginny ran her hands through her hair.On the day she found out she was pregnant, she was supposed to be dating Remus Lupine.

She couldn't go on a date with him like this.Remus probably won't want her anymore after finding out she's pregnant with the devil's egg.

B~*B~*B~*B

Remus walked into the Burrow's kitchen.He found Ginny sitting at the table, holding a cup of tea.

"I came as soon as I got your owl. What's the matter?" he asked, sitting in the chair next to her.

He grabbed her hand and rubbed it.

"I...I need a friend right now, but this will affect you as a potential lover."

Remus squeezed Ginny's hand.

"No matter what, Kim, you'll always be my friend," Remus assured her.

Ginny sighed.

"Well, I guess I should start from scratch. I went to St. Mungo's today. I've been feeling a little bit wrong, thinking maybe it's the stress of the last few months. I mean, I've been learning to get NEWTs. Good grades, good to enter the medical system."

Ginny took a sip of her tea and continued talking.

"They did some tests on me and said I was pregnant."

Remus was silent for a while.

"Is it his?"

Ginny nodded, closing her eyes so she wouldn't cry for the millionth time of the day.

The bloody hormones are killing her.

Remus continued rubbing her hands.Ginny had to admit, it was nice to be able to talk to him.

"Have you decided what to do?" he asked.

This was what Ginny had been struggling with all day.On the one hand, she could take the baby and make Severus Snape disappear from her life forever.

Ginny, on the other hand, sees the child as a sign.After all, with so many dead, her body decided to create a life.In this respect, the child is a beautiful representation of the cycle of life.

"I don't know, Remus," Ginny said softly.

"I'm for anything you want, Ginny. Don't think I'm going to stop wanting to be with you just because you're pregnant with someone else's baby. I mean, I'd be so hypocritical, because you're loving yourself Love my son as much as my son. If you decide to have it and our relationship gets to that level, I swear I will do the same to your child."

The tears that had been threatening to fall from Ginny's eyes finally rolled down her cheeks.

She put down her teacup and hugged Remus tightly.

"Oh, Remus. I don't know what I would do without you," she said softly.

"I don't know what I would do without you, Ginny. I really think you've saved my life these past few months."

"It's nice to know we're always there for each other, isn't it?" Ginny asked, letting go of him.

Remus just smiled at her and kissed her lightly on the lips.

"Yeah. What if we still go to dinner tonight, you say? I've been looking forward to it all week."

"Are you sure?" Ginny asked, biting her lip.

"If I wasn't sure, I wouldn't ask you."

Ginny smiled at him and kissed him lightly on the cheek.

"Then I will prepare now."

B~*B~*B~*B

Ginny had just started eating her chocolate sundae when Snape walked into the coffee shop.

He looked better than the last time she saw him.There is a little color on his face, the dark circles under his eyes are gone, and he seems to have gained a little weight.It's amazing how much no stress, sleep and food can bring someone.

His face was as expressionless as ever.

Snape looked around, and then spotted her.

When he walked up to Ginny, she didn't even bother to wave to him.

She watched calmly as he pulled away the chair opposite her, and then sat down.

"Principal," she said, nodding at him.

"Weasley." He also greeted.

"Is there anything you want? My treat," she asked.

"No, thank you. Since you called me here urgently, I assumed that what you wanted to tell me was what you urgently needed to tell me."

Ginny resisted the urge to roll her eyes.God, this man can really be an idiot!

But that no longer mattered to Ginny.She realizes that part of his behavior is just nature.

But if he had been so mean to her, she wouldn't have sugar-coated his words.

"I am pregnant."

Snape just watched her.

Ginny stared at him too, popping another scoop of ice cream into her mouth.

"Don't tell me you're trying to add this kid to me!"

This time, Ginny rolled her eyes.

"Believe it or not, Headmaster, you are the father. The last person I ever made out with was you, and only you could be the father."

"Nonsense! I gave you birth control pills all the time when you were with me."

"Actually, you didn't give me the potion the month of the final battle because you were at St. Mungo's."

Ginny found it amusing to watch his normally calm face take on a mixture of shock and anger.

"Do you really think I'll believe it? For all I know, it's probably that wolf's cub you're trying to put on me."

Ginny really couldn't believe that even after two weeks of avoiding him, he still had that "I hate Remus" rage.

Well, she didn't have the time or the patience to try and convince him that the baby was his.

"Well, if you don't believe me, then just look at my memory."

Snape seemed a little surprised that Ginny had proposed that he enter her mind.

She knew he thought she was bluffing.

He grabbed her face and forced her to look at him.

Ginny almost melted at the touch of his skin.It's been too long since he last touched her.

"Look at me," Snape ordered.

Ginny shook her head to clear the emotion and looked into his eyes.

Quite quickly, her memories began to unfold before her eyes like a Muggle movie.

It starts with the memory of their last kiss (at the kitchen table two days before the final fight), then the final fight in which she saves his life.He seemed more attached to the scene where she ran her fingers over his face as he healed him.

He continued to look at the memory, and he told her he no longer wanted to be with her, the funeral, her life after the final battle.

There was no memory of her making out with Remus.Damn, the most Remus was holding onto her ass while they kissed.

Snape finally left her memory.

Ginny rubbed her eyes, leaned back, and continued eating the melted sundae.

Snape leaned on his arms and rubbed his head with his fingertips.

"I apologize, Weasley. Seems like you're right."

Ginny shrugged.

"Personally, I don't take it. But I want to see you for a reason," Ginny said.

"What's the reason?" Snape asked without looking up.

"Well, I don't know if I want to keep this baby. Many days, I think about it, and the answer is still the same. I would sacrifice everything for this baby, including raising it, and pregnancy. But I am not too sure. Passionate about the child, the question of termination of the pregnancy arises. Since I have not decided, I have decided to leave that question to you."

Snape looked up, expressionless.

"That's your body, Weasley. I can't tell you what to do. It's your decision."

"My decision is for you to decide whether you want this baby or not. If I say, I don't decide. As much as I want to pull your ear because you are tired of me, at the end of the day, this is your baby too, and you deserve it." Tell me if you want it."

Snape seemed to have lost his language.

Ginny finished her Christmas, quite pleased that the conversation was going well.

She reached into her robe.Take out the money and put it on the table.

"I don't expect you to make a decision now. If your answer is no, please contact me within this week because I need time to terminate the pregnancy."

She stood up and put her hand on his shoulder reassuringly.

"Until then, Headmaster."

B~*B~*B~*B

Three days later, while Ginny was cooking dinner for her and her father, she received a note from Snape.

Miss Weasley,

If you still wish, I beg you to keep this child.

I would also like to find another time and place to discuss this plan more.

Headmaster Severus Snape

After reading the letter, Ginny had to sit down.She's actually pretty sure he'll make her terminate the pregnancy.It never occurred to her in her wildest dreams that he would want to keep the child.

The letter brought back feelings that Ginny thought were lost when Snape rejected her.Maybe he still has a little possibility to want to develop something with her.

'oh what am I kidding?This man wants me to keep the child, maybe he just wants to carry on the family. '

Ginny sighed, knowing it might make more sense to think about it that way.

She took out a quill and wrote a reply, trying to kill any hope that he still had any feelings for her.
