Prologue
The world seemed perfect at that moment. The war had been over for three years. There was stability for the people who had lived in turmoil for so many years. Jokes were even being told again by one George Weasley. But what really made the world perfect to a certain black-haired, green-eyed young man was the red-haired, brown-eyed woman sleeping in his arms. Harry loved her and he know that Ginny loved him back and that was all he needed in the world. Earlier that day, Harry has finally proposed to his true love and they had spent the night celebrating and demonstrating their love to each other in his – no, their – flat. This was not the first time that Harry and Ginny had slept together but something about that night just seemed even better than usual. It was purely magical.
Little did Harry know that while Ginny felt the same way about that night and her love for Harry, there was something else that was bothering her. Something that would change both of their lives forever. She was dreaming – or more accurately, having a nightmare – of a family dinner that occurred just a few days previously. The dinner had started out wonderful, like usual, but someone had brought up the topic of Fred. Recently, he could be discussed admit laughter and fond memories but then George was telling a story about his twin and Angelina Johnson. Turns out they had been seriously dating the year before he died and they would sneak out of the flat in Diagon Alley to spend the night alone in her flat. At this, George started to give Ginny weird looks. She was startled by how harsh he seemed to be and for the rest of the evening she noticed how all of her brothers were glaring at her from time to time, but most of all George.
Ginny woke up suddenly from her sleep breathing hard from her dream. She turned her head and was forced to smile at the sight of her new fiancée sleeping soundly next to her. She gently removed his arms from around her and tip-toed her way into the kitchen to get a glass of water. She knew why her brothers were giving her funny looks. To be honest, she was surprised that it had taken them so long to do it. Maybe they felt as though they had to be nice to her while she still lived at the burrow. But ever since she moved in with Harry, they changed how they acted towards her. She knew she deserved this looks and their attitude, especially from George. Hell, if she could, she would be giving herself glaring looks too. After all, it was her fault that Fred died. She left the Room of Requirement when she wasn't supposed to and Fred had died trying to protect her. If only she had stayed where she was, he would be living with George still and Ron could get whatever job he wanted instead of helping out in the flat. Most of all, she felt guilt for loving Harry and now being engaged to him when Angelina would never get to do that.
As the morning slowly came, Ginny knew what she had to do. She couldn't keep putting her family in torture like that with her being around. She could here Harry puttering around in the bedroom getting ready for the day and she felt another pang of guilt for what she was about to do to him. Over the next week, Ginny made her preparations: she found a flat and a job. She even found a new name that she could adopt.
If only Ginny had noticed that Harry had been getting funny looks from her siblings. If only she had noticed that the looks they were getting were laced with humor and protectiveness and not just anger. Most importantly, if only Ginny knew that since that night of her engagement, she was pregnant with a beautiful girl. If only. Maybe she wouldn't have done what she did.
Harry noticed how weird she was acting but he figured that it was just her getting used to the idea of being engaged. But to him, life was still perfect and it would be as long as Ginny and his family, the Weasley's, were with him. How very wrong he was.
A/N: This is my first fanfiction, and my first time writting anything besides an essay for school... so sorry if its awkward. I welcome constructive criticism!! And the actual chapters will be longer than the prologue
