Sunday Night Dinner

"Harry, I'm glad you could make it!" Molly gave Harry a hug, she was so happy he had actually come to a Sunday dinner. "Come along, you can sit next to Hermione. I'm sure she won't mind" Shuffling Harry into his chair Molly couldn't help but pat him on the shoulder as she walked past.

She loved the boy like one of her own and no matter how much she loved Ginny she knew it wasn't going to work, she saw them both falling apart and she just knew. Although she really did need to have a discussion with Ginny about her attitude towards Harry, she was raised better than that!

Smiling Harry thanked Molly as he sat down next to Hermione who seemed to have the face of I know something you don't know. Which, funny enough both Harry and Ron were very use to. Tonight was the night he told Charlie, was it still too late to turn tail and run?

Even if it wasn't he was pretty sure Hermione would drag him back to do the deed. His eyes drifted over the cosy living room, the twins were currently playing exploding snaps with Ron while Bill and Charlie seemed deep in conversation leaving Arthur to talk to Fleur about her pregnancy. Where was Ginny?

"So tonight is the night huh?" Hermione pulled Harry from his musings, she knew if he over thought it he would back out. This really was a side of Harry she wasn't use too, just where did her leader of a friend go? The person who did the right thing at all times and never backed down? "Nervous?"

Nodding Harry smiled weakly, he wasn't sure about any of this but he had made it this far and he could do the rest, he had to. "I'm not so sure Hermione…what if he freaks out, what if…"

Cutting him off Hermione stared him down. "No what ifs, now head up to Ron's room I will send Charlie up, you are over thinking this and I can't have you running off." Shooing Harry out of the living room she give her biggest smile. This was either going to crash and burn or go brilliantly…she really didn't know which one. Now she had to get Charlie up to Ron's room.

Harry started to pace back and forth in the small room, he really couldn't run now he was stuck he had to do this. If he did try to run he was damn sure the entire Weasley clan would be on his tail asking for answers and wondering if he was okay.

Knock, Knock

"Erm, come in!" Harry called as he stopped his pacing and sat down on the second bed. He could do this!

"Harry," Charlie said as he shut the door behind him. "Hermione said you needed to talk to me."

Nodding the shorter male pointed to Ron's old bed, "please sit, I, erm, heh, I don't know how to say this but please don't get angry." His hands started to ring together in nerves; he waited until Charlie had sat down before he went into his practised speech.

"I'mpregnantandit'syourspleasedon'thateme." Harry cringed, okay it wasn't how he imaged how he would say it but it was out and it felt a tiny bit better to have said it.

"What?" Charlie looked Harry over, still smaller than most people with his hair that just refused to do what it was told and those horrendous glasses why hadn't he changed them yet? He felt guilty for being with Harry before, he was his sister's ex-boyfriend they were according to her going to get married and have a nice big house with a dog and a few kids and he felt horrible for what he did. "Can you repeat that at a slower pace?" What was he trying to say?

"I'm pregnant…"

"How do you know it's mine?"

"You were my first Charlie and the only one I have ever slept with." Tugging on his jumpers sleeves he looked at the floor, this was it Charlie wasn't going to want anything to do with him and this child.

"Are you keeping the child?"

"Yes."

Sighing Charlie looked at Harry in thought, of course he would keep the child Harry himself never really had a true family. "I'm guessing you want me to be part of this child's life?" A small nod answered his question. "I will do one better than that." Standing up he walked towards Harry and grabbed his hands. Harry never had a real family but he had a chance now and although Charlie knew he was going to have so many questions asked of him for doing this it felt right. "Marry me then, give the child a family."

Harry stared dumbly at Charlie, what was he doing? They didn't love each other they were simply friends what on earth made him want to marry him? "Why? Why would you give up your life for me?"

"Look, we may not be in love but we are friends and I don't want that child to grow up wondering why its parents were not together. At least we are friends and we could in time fall in love I mean we do have a while before the child is due to get to know each other." Sighing he pulled away from Harry. "Think about it okay, talk it over with Hermione, I know she knows." Leaving Harry sitting in Ron's room Charlie left and headed down to the living room.

"Fuck…" Was all Harry could say.

Ginny listened as Hermione told Charlie to head up to Ron's room, why would Harry want to talk to Charlie? Following after her brother and making sure no one would notice her doing so she sat next to the door when she knew it was safe. Listening into the conversation she frowned at what she was hearing this sounded wrong! Harry was supposed to be hers and no one else's!

"I'm pregnant."

Gasping she covered her mouth so not to alert the others, she found herself leaning closer, the bastard had the nerve to say he didn't want to settle down and she let him have a break, when he got that break he would realise she was the best he could ever get and come crawling back but this? He had gotten himself knocked up by some random bloke!

"Marry me then, give the child a family."

Ginny felt her eyes go wide, he slept with her brother and got pregnant! She had to tell everybody what was going on there was no way she was going to let them keep this private. Throwing herself down the stairs she ran straight to her mother and retold just what she had heard she was not going to let this go! Harry was hers! No one else could have him!

Molly stared at her daughter in shock, if what she was saying was true she would want some answers but tonight was not going to be the night that happened, everyone was going to have a wonderful dinner and she would deal with the stuff later. "Well then we will deal with this, Ginny we will deal with this later now go call everyone to dinner please."

Sighing Harry walked into his kitchen, last night was horrible and he felt like he was the only person who felt awkward about being there. Hugging Luna from behind he pouted, "My life is falling apart!" Shuffling back when Luna shooed him away, Harry sat himself down next to Hermione, glaring when she started giggling. Traitor.

"Well hello to you too, now tell me what happened and no skipping!"

"He asked me to marry him; he said how he wanted the child to have a family and to think on it." Harry smiled when Luna handed him some herbal tea and pulled it closer to himself, why did he have to be Harry Potter? "I don't know what to do."

"I see, I can kind of understand what he meant Harry, you never had a family and you always talked about when this was all over you wanted to have a normal life, and okay it's not the normal way around it but maybe you could have that family you always wanted." Hermione smiled sadly, nothing ever went right for him. "Think about it and trust me, you may not love each other now but time does strange things to people." Patting Harry on the arm she got up hand grabbing the floo powder. "I have work but you think long and hard."

"Bye 'Mione."

"Good bye Hermione." Luna chipped in as the bushy haired girl left.

Letting his head hit the table Harry groaned. "My life sucks."
