A/N: Well I said I wouldn't update until I got 5 reviews, but I changed my mind because I'm going on holiday. Hope you enjoy.

2. Ashamed?

Sunday dinner at the Burrow, a tradition that had begun when the last of the kids moved out. Almost a duty for the Weasley children, and of course Harry and Hermione who could just as well have changed their last names. As time had passed it was also normal to bring any boy- or girlfriend you weren't afraid of bringing home. A great way to meet family and friends, and to keep track on what happened in their lives.

"So Herm, when are you going to bring him to dinner?" Hermione and Ginny was sitting alone in the garden. The two best friends didn't get to see much of each other these days. Hermione was teaching at Hogwarts and Ginny living in London.

"When I think they'll approve. Remus agreed. We started joking about what Molly might put him through, and it wasn't pretty." Hermione lay down in the grass.

"Everyone loves Remus, what can go wrong?"

"Everything, they'll look at him in a totally different way when they find out we are a couple. Don't you think your mother will call it cradle snatching? No one in there will approve of us. And what am I going to say to Ron? Hi, I dumped you and ended up with our old professor." Ginny giggled.

"There was almost half a year from you broke up with Ron until you got together with Remus. Are you sure you aren't ashamed of him? Are you sure that isn't why you won't bring him here?" Hermione looked at Ginny.

"Ashamed?" she stopped for a second. "No, I'm not ashamed of him, what is there to be ashamed about?"

"I don't think you should be, but he's twice your age, he's a werewolf. And you've always been miss perfect."

"I don't care how old he is, the fact that he's a werewolf we all have to live with. I've less than nothing to be ashamed of."

"Then why isn't he here? Why do you care what Ron and my mum thinks? If my boyfriend didn't want to tell anyone then I'd…" Ginny stopped, and looked toward the kitchen window. She could see Harry inside.

"Then what?" Hermione looked rather strangely at her.

"Then I'd think he didn't want me, wonder if he was ashamed of me or if he cared about me at all." There was something that sounded like detest in her voice.

"I'll bring him, eventually, he knows how I feel. I love him you know."

"Then don't let him go, whatever you do, don't let him go." Hermione sat up and looked at her.

"What if Dumbledore says I have to?"

"So that's the problem. You are adults; you can love whoever you want. He can't fire you for being in love, he isn't evil." Ginny smiled.

"You are probably right. But what about your love life? Got over Harry yet?" Ginny avoided Hermione's eyes.

"Come on Herm, I was 13 when I got over Harry. I had one stupid girlish crush and no one ever lets me forget it. When it comes to my love life there is not much time for it, with Quidditch and exams coming up. Probably best if I concentrate on my exams right now."

"So still no boyfriend."

"Cut it out Herm, you sound like my mum. A boyfriend isn't what I need now."

"It is your life, you know best. There is a rumour around that you got an offer from Ballycastle Bats."

"That is exactly what it is, a rumour, at least nobody's told me about it. Anyway, I don't think I'm for sale, still got two years left on my contract." Ginny looked up at the blue sky.

"If you got the offer, would you go?"

"If I got the offer right now, I would be in Ireland in about 24 hours, but if you asked me 2 weeks ago I probably would have hesitated. I don't know, I probably would have taken it, Ireland is good for anyone's Quidditch career."

"Hi, Herm, Gin, dinner's ready." Ron was standing in the doorway waiting for them.

"Coming!" Ginny said, got up and dragged Hermione up too.
