She stood there at King's Cross Station clutching a hand to her chest and her other over her stomach. She watched him walk away hand in hand with Pansy Parkinson as his father took his trolley with his trunk, broom, and the cage with his eagle owl perched on top of the trunk. She wiped a tear away in better hopes of healing this broken heart.
The summer awaited her as the wedding of Malfoy and Parkinson was announced in the Daily Prophet and in the radio making the headlines. The two wealthiest and pureblood families were now celebrating the marriage of these two young adults.
It was only then that everyone noticed the change Ginny Weasley was going through.
Four Years Later.
Ginny Weasley sat at the dinner table in her flat in Manchester. She rubbed her eyes and sipped at her tea. She looked at the business papers sitting on the table waiting to be read over and signed. Working for the Ministry, the Order, taking over Honeydukes as her own large business, helping her brother's Fred and George in their shop, and being a mother was just too much work.
"Honestly Ginny, this is just too much work for you. You're only 21. You need to have fun," said Nixon, Ginny's best friend since her first year at Hogwarts.
Opening her eyes back up again Ginny looked at Nixon in shock and said,
"Excuse you but I have been holding up real good for the past 2 years and I am not about to throw it all away because of some migraine headache, two toddlers who won't sit still, someone who wants to buy off Honeydukes, and working for the Ministry ..." she trailed off muttering.
"Honey, you need a break. Take some time off. Go to the Burrow and I'll take care of the twins and you can take all the time you want--"
"No. Nixon, thanks but no thanks. I can't leave the little ones and all my work."
Nixon sighed in defeat and took a sip from her tea. Ginny looked up at the clock on the wall and saw it strike 11pm. She sat up and pushed her chair back. She waved her wand and had the dishes wash by themselves, dry, and go back in place. Nixon looked up at Ginny and said,
"Well Gin, I have to go now. It's very late and my dear husband awaits me. No Floo powder for me. I have enough dizziness with this pregnancy."
Ginny laughed. They bid goodnight and Nixon Apparated out of Ginny's flat. Ginny sighed and walked off into the nursery. Her two little twins lay in their beds sound asleep unaware of what lay in store for them in the next couple of weeks to come. Walking out of the room Ginny smiled as she looked back at the two loves of her life and closed the door behind her.
"Mommy! Mommy! Mommy!"
"Huh..wha.?" Ginny mumbled
"We want breakfast!" cried out the voice of a little girl.
"French toast and eggs and bacon and ham," said the voice of another little girl.
Ginny rolled over to face her two little twins and said,
"You two. Stop jumping please. Get your little butts to the bathroom, brush your teeth, wash your faces and your little hands and sit at the table," said Ginny as she sat up.
"But.. But that's not fair," said one of them.
"Annette Sophia no complaining," said Ginny ruffling her daughter's hair.
"I'm not complaining," said Annette in a whiney voice.
"Are too," said the other twin.
"Shut up Victoria Kristen," said Annette.
"Annette you stop that right now," said Ginny in an irritated tone.
"Sorry mommy," said the twins together.
Annette and Victoria, both twins, and daughters of Ginny Weasley. They were both born in Ginny's 7th and last year at Hogwarts. She kept their father a secret and still has until this day. She looked at her twins and noticed their differences.
Annette being the oldest by two minutes was the loudest. She has a small dimple on her right cheek unlike Victoria who has dimples on both cheeks. Victoria's a bit taller than Annette and much more quiet and very shy.
Ginny got up holding her twins little hands and walked on over to the bathroom. She washed their faces and watched them brush their teeth.
"Alright you two. I'll magic out your breakfast and we're going to go to gramma's house, ok?" Ginny said kissing both her daughter's on the forehead.
"Alright!" squeaked both Annette and Victoria.
At that moment Ginny heard a loud pop in the living room and poked her head out of the bathroom. She saw Harry looking around. She kneeled down on the bathroom floor and whispered to her twins,
"Harry is here, ok? Now.. I want you two to stay really quiet and when he comes in here I want you two to scream and scream and jump on him, ok?" Ginny said trying to suppress her giggles.
"Ok mommy," they both said whispering as well.
Harry looked around the flat looking for Ginny.
"Ginny. Are you in here? I need to go over the Honeydukes papers. Annette, Victoria? Are you three in here?"
He walked past the bathroom into the nursery. He saw the twin's beds still unmade. He peered inside the restroom but didn't push the door open. He walked into Ginny's bedroom and saw the bed unmade. He sat on Ginny's bed with his back facing the door and covered his face with his hands.
Ginny smiled at her daughters and motioned for them to walk behind her. They tiptoed into Ginny's bedroom and she pointed at Harry. Annette and Victoria pounced on Harry and he began to say,
"Merlin! Merlin! They're attacking me! Nooo!"
Ginny laughed and Annette said, "It's just us," while Victoria laughed on the floor with her mum. Harry turned around and glared at Ginny. She smiled.
"Ginny, I need to talk to you about Honeydukes," Harry said.
"Nope. Not right now. I have to feed these little girls. Shower. Clean up a bit and head on over to the Burrow. Go down to the Ministry and report for Friday night's work... so much work to do," Ginny said looking for her wand.
She finally found it and charmed her bed into making itself. Harry followed suit as Ginny walked into the other bedroom. She charmed both beds and walked into the kitchen, Harry muttering about paperwork and meetings behind her. She waved her wand and made breakfast in less than 5 minutes. The girls sat at the table as well as Harry. He claimed to have eaten breakfast before coming but Ginny knew he was lying. They all ate breakfast and Ginny avoided the subject of work. As soon as they all finished Ginny waved her wand and charmed the dishes yet again to wash themselves. She left Harry with the twins and walked into the shower. She stood there letting the water hit her delicate body and thought of those nights at Hogwarts in her 6th year.
He ran his fingers slowly down her front and rested his hand right above her panty line. She looked at him and he smiled as he picked himself up and got himself on top of her, straddling her hips. He took off the intruding piece of material and eased himself inside her ever so gently. "I love you Red," he groaned. He kept himself from losing control and hurting her ...
"Ginny! Are you alright in there?" Harry said knocking on the door.
"Yes .. I'm ok," she called back.
She turned off the water and got out wrapping the towel around herself. She opened the door forgetting Harry was still in her flat and stood there on the doorway.
Harry looked up and gawked at her.
"Shit," Ginny muttered under her breath.
"Mommy. Come sit with us. Uncle Harry is telling us a story about the really really big snake," Annette said bouncing on the couch cushion.
Ginny shot a glare at Harry and he shrugged. She walked back into the bathroom and changed. She dried her hair with her wand and walked back into the living room.
"Mommy, you look pretty!" Victoria said.
Harry looked up and saw Ginny. She was wearing a silk black shirt and a dressy white shirt on top. Tight jeans that flared a bit at the bottom and some heel boots. Her hair was done up in a ponytail and was wearing light makeup.
"Girls.. I need you to go in the tub. We're going to go to gramma's house, ok?"
"Aww.. But uncle Harry's telling us a story mommy," Annette squealed.
"Now," Ginny said.
The twins got up dragging their feet and Ginny took both their hands and into the bathroom. She went into the nursery and took out some clothes for them. She walked back in happily to see that her two girls were splashing each other in the tub.
She crouched down at eye level and poured shampoo on their little heads. She washed their hair as they giggled and asked to hear the story of how she and their dad met up. They never met their father but had seen pictures of him in the paper and in a moving photo she kept inside her drawer where she had her knickers and bras. After struggling to get them out of the tub for a half hour they finally jumped out and she hugged them holding them in a big towel.
"I love you girls but you're driving me insane," Ginny said.
"I love you too mommy," Annette and Victoria said.
They changed into their clothes and finally got out of the bathroom.
"Ginny, can we please talk about the paperwork for Honeydukes?"
"Not now Harry. I'm going to the Burrow to drop of the twins.. I told you already," Ginny said getting irritated.
Ginny held onto the girls and Apparated outside the Burrow. Hermione was outside playing on charmed swing set with her daughter.
"Mione!" Ginny shrieked in delight as she saw Hermione.
"Ginny! How are you? Ohh.. Look at the two of you," she said kissing Annette and Victoria's cheeks. "OH! Ginny. I almost forgot. Fred and George need you to stop by today at the shop to go over some packages that just arrived--"
"WHAT! No no no no no. Why didn't they owl me! They know better than to inform me at the last minute."
"Ginny.. I'm sorry. But they asked me to tell you before they Flooed on out of here," Hermione said.
"Oh.. Alright. Uh...do me a big favor?" Ginny said while looking around her cloak.
"Yea.. Anything," Hermione said picking her daughter up from the ground.
"Can you take care of these two for me? I still need to go to the Ministry, Harry and I need to talk about the Honeydukes paperwork, Fred and George..." Ginny said trailing off.
"GINNY! I've been looking for you," Harry said marching on down to where Ginny and Hermione were.
"Harry, NOT now," Ginny said as she pulled her hair in frustration.
"Yes Ginny, NOW," Harry said shuffling papers in midair.
"What? Why?"
"Because I just got an owl saying that we have a meeting in exactly ONE week and we need everything in order. Please Ginny please?" Harry was pleading.
Ginny bit down on her lip. Annette and Victoria looked up at her and she smiled.
"Well, can't you change it?" Ginny said looking at the papers Harry had handed her.
"I can try. But we need to get the money so we can keep Honeydukes. If not, the company in Scotland, Warwick, and Glasgow will take it and we will be left with nothing," Harry said pointing at the print.
Ginny sighed.
"Mommy, is everything ok?" Victoria asked.
"Yes sweetie. Everything is ok. Mommy just needs to go to work, NOW," she said giving Harry a deadly glare.
"I'll try everything I can Gin," Harry said running up the road to the Burrow.
Ginny stood there. Hermione patted her back. Ginny looked around and watched her daughters play in the garden poking the gnomes that were still living around there.
"Give it your best shot Gin. You've made it this far with Annette and Victoria. There's no stopping that now. You have my and Ron's support, Harry's, your parents..."
Ginny smiled, "Thanks Mione."
They walked up the road and stopped in front of the garden and watched the twins play. Ginny walked inside and found Ron and Harry playing a game of Wizard's Chess.
"Oi. 'Ullo Gin," Ron said getting up.
He hugged her.
"You're crushing me Ron," Ginny gasped.
"Oh. Sorry," he said backing away. He sat back down and continued playing.
"Mum! Ginny's here," Ron yelled.
Mrs. Weasley came rushing down the stairs welcoming her daughter in a tight embrace.
"Ginny. I haven't seen you in ages. Where are the girls?"
"Ages? Mum you only saw me but three weeks ago," Ginny said straightening her clothes.
"Girls? Annette? Victoria?"
Just at that moment the twins came rushing in and hugging Mrs. Weasley. Ginny smiled.
"Mum. I'm going to leave them here in you don't mind. I have a lot of work to do. I'll owl you in case something comes up, ok?"
Mrs. Weasley just nodded and said, "Yes, dear" and continued goggling at the twins. Ginny said goodbye to everyone but was stopped by Mrs. Weasley.
"Ginny dear. I've been meaning to ask you. Well, the twins are now four years old as of last August, and I was wondering when you were going to tell all of us who their father is. Clearly Ginny, have you given it any thought?"
Ginny bit down on her lip and said,
"Yes mother. I have given it thought. The father of my children doesn't have a clue that he's a father and I really am not ready for anyone to find out," Ginny said.
"Well, do we know this man?" Mrs. Weasley said eyeing Ginny.
"Yes mum. We were kids back then and I haven't heard from him since he graduated from Hogwarts," Ginny said fidgeting her feet, "Now, can I please go mum? I'm already behind schedule."
"Oh alright," Mrs. Weasley said waving her hand in defeat.
Ginny Apparated out of the Burrow and into the Ministry of Magic building. She placed her wand in a bin and entered.
"Good day Ms. Weasley. How are you today?" the guard asked handing Ginny her wand back.
"I'm fine. Thank you Eric. How you are?"
"I'm doing good Ms. Weasley. Here to report Friday's work?"
Ginny nodded.
"It must be tough being an Auror with two children," the guard said putting some papers under his desk.
"Yes. It is. Well, I better hurry. I'll talk to you later Eric," she said waving back at him.
She ran up to the elevator and saw her partner.
"Oh. Seamus! I didn't know you were going to come as well. Didn't you get my owl?" Ginny said placing her cold hands in her cloak.
"No. It must've been intercepted or something. How are you?"
"I feel like I haven't slept in ages," Ginny said rubbing her temples.
There was an awkward moment of silence until Seamus spoke up,
"Ginny, I've been meaning to ask you. .. If uh.. If you'd like to..."
Ginny looked at Seamus in disbelief.
"What? What is it?" Seamus asked with a confused look on his face.
"I thought we had talked about this already. I don't want to get involved Seamus," she said getting off on their floor.
"Gin, I'm not asking you to marry me or anything. Just asking if you would go on a date with me..no strings attached," Seamus said behind her. "Will you at least give it a thought?"
Ginny sighed and stopped. She looked at Seamus and said,
"Fine. ONE date and one date only."
Seamus smiled and they walked in to their office to report their Friday shift.
