Life Goes On
Chapter 1-Announcements, Announcements
"I love you Ginerva Molly Weasley." Harry said as he got down on one knee and pulled out a ring. "Will you marry me?"
It was two years after the war. A lot had happened since then. He and Ginny had gotten back together. Ron and Hermione had gotten together (finally). Everyone was happy. Well except George who was still very quiet. He still felt guilty after Fred died.
"Yes!" Ginny screamed, before giving Harry a passionate kiss. "Oh, I can't wait to tell Hermione!" She admired the ring Harry had put on her finger, realizing she hadn't even looked at it.
It was a lovely diamond, with 3 smaller diamonds, and 2 emeralds to represent his green eyes, set around it. It was set on an elegant white gold band. She took the ring off to examine it closer. Inscribed on the inside of the band was: "Love always prevails over evil."
"Oh, yeah." Harry said, acting like he just remembered something. "We're invited to dinner at the Burrow. Everyone will be there."
"And how, Harry, did you just now suddenly remember that?"
"Erm…" Harry said, trying to think up a lie.
"Don't you dare try to lie to me Harry James Potter!" Ginny said trying to keep a straight face.
"Okay, I knew it all along, but I wanted to propose first."
Harry, being a legal adult for two years, had inherited his family's fortune. He got the Potter Family Vault, the Potter Mansion, their house in Godric's Hallow, two cottages, and four vacation homes placed all over the world. He also inherited the Black Family Vault, because there were no living relatives, and being Sirius's godson. He had also gotten Grimmauld Place.
He had immediately given Grimmauld Place to Andromeda since she would need a place to raise his lovely metamorphous godson, Teddy.
He had asked Ginny to move in with him at Potter Mansion, but she kindly refused saying her parents would never approve and neither would her brothers.
They Apparated to the Burrow and Ginny hid her left hand in the sleeve of her shirt. It wasn't very hard, considering it was winter and she wore a long sleeve shirt. They decided to make the announcement at dinner.
"Ahem," Ginny cleared her throat as she stood. "Harry and I have some good news." She paused for dramatic effect. "We're getting married!" she said unveiling her ring for the first time at the Burrow.
Hermione immediately jumped up and hurried to Ginny to see the ring. Mrs. Weasley stood up and game Harry and Ginny a bone-crushing hug before examining the ring.
"Well, Ron and I also have some good news to share." Hermione said.
"We do?" Ron said.
"Yes, Ron, we do. Ron and I are…" she trailed off.
"You and Ron are what?" Harry asked.
"C'mon Hermione. You can tell them." Ginny said.
"Wait, Ginny you know about this?" Harry asked.
"Yes, but that's not important right now." Ginny replied, her eyes fixed on Hermione.
"Ron and I are…" Hermione said as she trailed off again. "We are going to have a baby!" she said finally.
"You're pregnant? I'm going to be a grandmother!!" Molly Weasley exclaimed.
"I'm going to be a father?" Ron asked dumfounded. "I'm going to be a father!" He said as he finally realized it.
"Ron, you didn't know about it?" Ginny asked.
"No, I didn't." he said.
"HERMIONE JANE GRANGER! YOU TOLD ME YOU TOLD RON!" Ginny yelled.
"I was going to, but I got nervous."
"Well with that bit of news I have something else to say." Ginny said.
"What is it Ginny?" Harry asked.
"Well, Harry and I are also going to have a baby." Ginny said. "I just got the results today."
"Ginny that's wonderful!" Harry said.
"I'm going to be a grandmother, TWICE!" Molly exclaimed, starting to cry. "My baby girl's all grown up now. How far along are you two?" she asked, curious to how long it would take before she was a grandmother.
"Well," Hermione said, "I'm three months along."
"I'm two months along." Ginny said.
Harry stood up and gave Ginny a passionate kiss. With a look of disgust, Ron stood up and did the same.
"Gin," Hermione started, "We're going to have to start thinking of baby names!"
"Oh that would be wonderful, but I think we have a wedding to plan first."
"And where, Miss Ginny, is my say in all of this?" Harry asked, with a mischievous grin on his face.
"Umm," Ginny said as she was thinking, "I'm not sure."
"Well, I think I should have quite a bit…" Harry said as he trailed off.
"Okay…I guess I'll give on that. You can have "quite a bit" of say in this. Only because I'm getting married to you and it's your baby though."
"Well, Ginny, do you want to come back to the Manor with me tonight?"
"Sure, I'll come Harry."
"Great, let's go 'cause I'm tired."
"Okay." Ginny said, taking Harry's arm as she Side-Along Apparated back to Potter Manor.
