Ginny kissed her son's forehead as she dropped him off at her parents that morning. He was preoccupied with his book, half ignoring her even as he muttered a good-bye. She sighed, rubbing her eyes as she made her way to the school. Her morning classes were slow and boring, a few students hardly even staying awake.
She couldn't blame them.
She could hardly stay awake.
The lunch bell rang, and Ginny simply didn't feel up to going to the Great Hall. Instead she went outside, to the forest. She was wrapped up in a large black hoodie, her defense for the blowing winds. Along with a black knit hat and gloves.
She grumbled as she picked her way though the snow, slightly off balance because of her extended stomach. She was three months pregnant now, and still wasn't used to the idea. It didn't help that she never slept, and that her powers were on the fritz. But that came with the whole thing.
Ginny rubbed her eyes, yawning and leaning against a tree as she looked around her.
Her mind began to wander, and she began to think about her life. She'd been through a lot, she realized. Her childhood hadn't been normal, and it had been short. She;d gotten married at 13, divorced at 16. She'd killed millions, and saved even more. Until recently, she'd faced danger every day.
She went through losing the one she loved,, having his child, and the shock of having him come back.
She had almost lost him again.
But here she was. Married, happily, with a little boy and a baby on the way. How did this work out? She was slightly confused by this. Why did she deserve such happiness?
She didn't. At least in her opinion.
She groaned, rubbing her head.
"I wish I could sleep." She muttered to herself.
((OPEN))
Bucky heard a voice behind the tree he was going to see who else it was in the forest with him so he got up turned around and saw it was his favorite teacher Ginny Bucky waited for a bit "It is hard for pregnant peapole to sleep and I would no I have had a family member who was pregnant twice and could hardly sleep bettween the to waiting periods" Said Bucky Truthfully "Maybe you should come in with me and have a burger or something" requested Bucky. "Or is that to unhealthy for you at the moment?" Bucky Asked.
"Actually, I'm the only one. Most women sleep more than they ever have."
Ginny didn't change her expression at all, Bucky's arrival didn't affect her in anyway.
"In fact, I don't sleep because I have nightmares." She narrowed her eyes at the thought.
He nightmares were not normal for anyone. And in fact, the only person who was able to even truly understand about them was Xaver. And that's because he had similar nightmares often. Her nightmares were bad enough that within moments of falling asleep, she screamed herself awake.
It took a lot to scare Ginny Weasley.
She shook her head at Bucky's offer, "No. I'm not hungry right now."
KeKe was out walking around. She was done with her morning classes and her next one wasn't for two hours. She looked around at the things around her, in the wind she heard someone. It wouldn't very familiar, but she didn't know who it was. She walked the way the voice came from, and as she walked deeper into the forest it got darker. She put up her hood, and then her hands started to glow with fire. She then saw two figures in the distance.
She walked up to them then realized it was Ginny, and Bucky. She sighed, thanking god that is wasn't someone else. She put out her hands and the stuck them in her pockets.
"Hello"she said to both of them.
"G'day KeKe" Said Bucky very thankful that it turned out to be a friend that saw them talking."So KeKe how have you been I haven't seen you in months?" Asked Bucky truly concerned for his mate.
Albus smiled, as he sat up in a tree, nearly wearing nothing. Only a Shirt, and a short pair of jeans that had ruggedly been cut short. The cold wind was playing softly with his shoulder long hair.
It needed to be cut. Soon.
The sensation, happiness, that surrounded him, made him lightheaded. The only thing he could do, was to grin happily. Finally, winter had come, and his powers and body, were thriving.
Everyday, every pause, he went out to the forest, starting to get addicted to the cold wind,
the cold weather.
As the wind played with his hair, they brought him voices, of someone close to him.
~Two... No three people...~ Albus thought to himself, as he searched the place they were standing in with his mind. It wasn't hard to recognize the lady, even thought he didn't see her.
The powers the subconsciously flowed out of the woman, revealed who she was. " Ginny! "
Albus jumped down, from branch to branch. Still, it was cold down on the ground, but the wind wasn't there.
He began running, and soon, he could see three people. A boy, a girl, and a woman, who could easily be mistaken to be seventeen.
" Hello! " Albus half-shouted, and waved, smiling to the little assemblymen of his friends.
Ginny offered Keke a small smile, but was startled as Albus came running towards them. She nodded at him, leaning even more heavily against the tree.
"Hi Keke. Hi Albus." She spoke softly, but firmly.
Showing just how tired she was.
She used the tree as support, keeping her weight against it so she wouldn't have to stand on her own.
KeKe looked at Albus, Ginny. She laughed at Albus. Then looked back at Buckey, and shrugged.
"Hello Albus, umm...can you put your hair up in ponytail at least? It is starting bug me. haha."she said with a laugh, and then handed him a hair tie.
Bucky laughed and said jokefully "You will look like a full girl then the tight and very sort pants,long hair etc.".
Albus smiled, and laughed with them. He took the hair tie, and took his hair in a ponytail.
Shacking his head a bit, he said, " I think I'm going to have this style!" Smiling.
Albus looked at Ginny. She looked like a wreck, even though that she was hiding it pretty well.
" Hi Ginny! What do ya think about this hair style?" He grinned, feeling happy in the surrounding cold.
KeKe looked at Ginny, she sure did look tired. But, she didn't want to intrude in her personal life. She looked at Albus, and laughed.
"Yeah....I can see it already. Your new style."she said to him with a laugh, "But, you might need a trim. Stop by me sometime, and I will do that for you."she added to him.
"Please you are likely to shave all his hair off" said Bucky "Persides the ponytail suits him" He added.Bucky loved having fun like this with his peers 'This is the life" Said Bucky Randomly.
Ginny nodded at Albus, "Adorable." She teased softly, wrapping her arms around herself and squeezing. She shivered slightly and smile at Albus. She knew how good the cold felt to him.
"You should braid your hair. That'd look neat."
Ginny had known Albus since before he'd come to Hogwarts. She felt it was easy to tease him without him taking her seriously.
KeKe looked at Ginny and laughed a bit. "That would be interesting to see."she said directing her comment toward Albus and his hair in braids. She thought about it for a sec, and then laughed to herself. She could sure see Albus with braids. Random yes, but it would be something to see.
Albus smiled. The picture of him, and braided hair, didn't fit so well.
" That would be..... STRANGE! " He chucled; taking the hair tie out of his hair, it falling down.
Then, he took all of his hair, collected it at the top of his head, and knot it at place.
Albus grinned.
Ginny shrugged, "I `spose so."
She went silent, realize how much older than these students she was. Not just physically. But mentall and emotionally. At their age, she'd had too many near death accounts. She couldn't keep track of how many times she'd almost died before she was 16.
She pushed away from the tree on which she was leaning, glancing at her watch.
"Break is over, you guys. Time for you all to get back to class."
"d**n it" Said Bucky felling very angry that he had to wait until after class to talk a little more with KeKe.
She looked back at all the people around her, then nodded back at Ginny.
"Okay."she said as she put her hood back up and then looked at Albus, "Well come on"she said to him and then started to walk to the school.
Albus sighed. Back to the ruddy warm shool. Where everything was warm.
He was slightly considering to freexe part of his body, like his arms and overbody.
But he decided not to.
As Albus started to walk, he smiled.
He hoped that he would learn something useful.
Bucky stayed out in the snow refusing to go in because someone had to watch pregnant Ginny.
"I'm not five, Bucky. Go inside."
Ginny scowled. She didn't need someone to watch her, especially a child.
Beside the fact that this was her second pregnancy and that her first had been entirely alone, she was more than capable of taking care of herself.
"I may be pregnant, but I can still kick your butt. Now move it."
"Alright" Said Bucky quite sure Ginny couldn't bash him up in her condition. Bucky walked Back to the castle very slowly looking back every two seconds.
(( Bucky, half dead, Ginny would've killed ya without lifting a hand.))
((I known who cares?))
((haha)
Ginny rolled her eyes as Bucky walked off, shaking her head in annoyance. The students were arrogant, thoughtless. She'd killed thousands of people before, being pregnant wouldn't stop her from killing one more.
After a moment, she too began to walk back towards the school, kicking the snow in all directions and scowling. She disliked winter. Too cold for her.
KeKe snapped and she was in her Griffindor things. Her books apreaded in her arms, and she walked into the school. Her next class was D.A.D.A. She walked in and sat down in her spot. She opened her book to page, 326.
She took a deep breath, nobody was in the room yet, only her. It felt different, something was different.
