Author's Note: Sorry about the wait. I hadn't planned on writing more than one chapter of this when I first posted it, so it took a little longer than usual to get to this point.

Thanks to Stephanie O for checking this for me.

Get well soon, mew!

Chapter 2

Ginny wandered into the kitchen on a Friday morning, a few weeks after the dinner when she had met Harry, to see her mum and Ron sitting at the table eating breakfast. She quickly glanced at the clock, the one that told the time, not the family one, to check how early it was. This was the first morning that week that Ron had been at the table when she had made it downstairs.

"Morning," she said cheerfully.

"Good morning, my dear," her mother said as she stood to fill another plate.

Ron glared at her, grunted, and then went back to eating his bacon.

"What's put your wand in a knot?" she asked her brother.

"Oh, you'll never guess what's happened!" her mum said excitedly.

Ginny gave her brother a strange look before turning to her mum, who had placed a plate of bacon and eggs in front of her, before sitting down again. Her mum was obviously excited about something; her eyes were shining and she had a bubbly look about her. Her hands were also twitching like she was itching to start planning something.

"What's happened?" she asked as she started to eat her breakfast. She had no idea what could possibly have put her in this state.

"Bill Flooed earlier," her mum gushed. "He's coming for dinner tonight and he's bringing someone with him. He's even got Charlie to come home, and he's told me that he wants the whole family here tonight. It must be something important."

"Bill and Charlie are coming home!" Ginny said excitedly. She missed her eldest two brothers. She was very close to them when she was little but hadn't had many chances to see them in recent years.

"You would be excited," Ron said grumpily.

"Why can't you be happy that the family is getting together tonight?" Molly Weasley asked.

"I told you that I had plans tonight. Lav, Dean, Seamus, and I were going to the Weird Sisters concert," Ron said. "Do you know hard it was to get those tickets?"

"Maybe you could meet them there after dinner," Ginny suggested.

"What a wonderful idea, Ginny," her mum said, giving her a huge smile. "Will that be okay, Ronald?"

"I suppose," he said half-heartedly.

"Why aren't you at work?" Ginny asked her brother.

"I have an exam this morning," he replied. "My last one and I'll be finished training."

"Will you be working with Harry then?" Ginny asked.

Ron groaned. "I really wish I hadn't taken you to that dinner. All I hear about from you is Harry. It's dead annoying. I have to see him at work; I don't want to hear about him here." Ron then stood, walked over to the Floo and disappeared.

"Why doesn't Ron like Harry?" Ginny asked her mum.

"I don't think it's that, dear," Her mum said. "You know how hard he worked over the last two years of school to get into the Auror programme. And he gets there and Harry is younger...

"Not by much," said Ginny.

"Even so. Harry is younger and he didn't have to go through training, so Ron is a little jealous.

"But from what Harry's told me, he spent years training. That's why he didn't go to school. He was trained by his dad's friends to beat You-Know-Who," Ginny said quite passionately.

"You know that and I know that. Ron probably does deep down, but won't admit it," her mum said. "You know what he can be like."

"Too well," Ginny said before finishing her breakfast. "Hey, can I invite Harry tonight?"

Her mum gave her an inquisitive look. "What is going on between you and Harry? You've seen him nearly every night since you met him."

Ginny sighed. She knew her mum was going to ask her this at some stage. She just wasn't sure how to answer, because she didn't think her mum would like some of the answer. "I told you that he asked me to be his girlfriend after the dinner."

"Yes. I'm just worried. You've only just met him and you're spending a lot of time together. Shouldn't you be looking for a job or training in something?" Her mum was looking very stressed with her. "I just don't want you to rush into things, Ginevra. You're still so young with choices in front of you. Don't spoil things by..."

"Mum!" Ginny exclaimed. "Good Godric! What do you think we've been doing?"

"That's what I'm asking," her mum said sighing.

"We've been talking, eating, flying...we get on so well together, Mum. I like spending time with him. He's like my best friend as well as my boyfriend. We've been here a couple of the nights. Surely you saw that we weren't doing anything...overly bad," she sad.

"What do you mean by overly bad?" her mum said looking a little scandalised.

Ginny sighed, rolled her eyes, and shook her head. "We snog, mother, if you must know. Nothing more than that," she said and added 'yet' in her mind.

"Good!" her mum said. "And, yes, you can invite Harry."

oooOOOooo

Ginny spent her afternoon after training helping her mum organise a huge dinner. While she was cooking she planned on how she would tell the family about playing for the Harpies. She knew that Bill was going to share some big news, but she didn't think he'd mind that she was taking some of the limelight as well. She had enjoyed the training sessions so far, but had not told anyone other than Harry about playing for the Harpies.

Late in the afternoon, after she had set up tables out in the garden, her brothers started arriving. Charlie was the first. As he walked up from the lane she barely gave him a chance to put down his bag before she jumped into his arms. He spun her around and then pretended to hold his back in pain.

"I'm not heavy," she said, swatting him.

"Ginger," he said with a smile. "Not even a hello for your big brother."

"Hi," she said giving him another hug.

"Wow, look at you," he said to her as they walked towards the house. "I can't believe my little sister has finished school. Oh, I'm getting old."

She laughed. "Do you have any idea why Bill has called us all together?" she asked.

Charlie shook his head but she could tell by the look in his eye that he was lying.

"You do!" she exclaimed.

"I promised him that I wouldn't say anything," Charlie said.

"Fine," she said looking at her brother with big wide eyes that always helped her get what she wanted when she was young.

"Oh, Gin-Gin," Charlie said. "Don't pull that look. It doesn't work any more."

Just as Ginny was going to pretend to be upset, two pops were heard and Fred and George appeared in front of her.

"Oh, no, George," Fred said.

"What?" his twin asked him.

"Don't look at Ginny. It's the face," Fred continued.

"The face?" George asked shielding his eyes.

"Oh, cut it out all of you," Ginny said but she couldn't help laughing. She loved teasing and playing around with her brothers.

The back door opened and her mum, her dad, and Percy appeared. They levitated plates of food and trays of drinks in front of them and deposited them on the table she had set up earlier in the garden. Molly Weasley then saw her second oldest child and enveloped him in a hug and fussed over his hair. Ginny, George and Fred sat down at the table and laughed at Charlie's discomfort. Eventually, her mother calmed down a little and they sat around the table sipping butterbeer and chatting while waiting for Bill, Ron, and Harry.

A little later Ron appeared near the gate and stomped his way across the lawn towards the house. He grunted at everyone and kept walking inside.

"Well he's a right ray of sunshine," Charlie stated. "Not even a hello."

"What's up his...

"Fred," Molly said warningly.

"...arse?" finished George.

Ginny laughed at her mother's face and her twin brothers as they put looks of absolute innocence on their faces.

Ron soon came outside, dressed for the concert later that evening and settled into a chair with a bottle of butterbeer.

"Ron," Charlie said.

"Hey, Charlie, I didn't see you there," Ron said, looking a little happier.

"I don't think you saw anyone," said George.

"Yeah, what's got your wand in a knot?" Fred continued.

"Bad day at work, Ron?" Molly asked.

Ginny remembered her conversation from that morning. "Oh, Ron, was your exam bad?"

Ron gave her a smile. "No, it was fine."

"Congratulations, then," she said.

"Thanks, but I have to wait until it's marked until I'm really finished," Ron replied.

"But you said it went well," Arthur said. "Who's marking it? Someone tough?"

Ron sighed. "Oh he's tough, but fair."

"So what's the problem, then?" Charlie asked.

"Harry's marking it, isn't he?" Ginny asked knowing the answer before she asked the question.

Ron let out a low growl and rolled his eyes.

"Harry?" Fred asked curiously.

"Potter?" George continued.

"Yes," sighed Ron.

"He's an Auror, right?" Charlie asked.

"A good one, I've heard," Percy stated.

Ron sighed again and Ginny rolled her eyes at him.

"Don't you like him?" Charlie asked.

Ron shook his head but didn't say anything.

"What I don't understand is if you don't like him, why were you sitting at the same table as him at the Department dinner?" Ginny asked.

"How do you know that?" George asked her.

"He tried to set me up with one of his friends," Ginny replied.

"What were you thinking, Ronnie," Fred said. "You don't want to subject your poor mate to our little hell raiser of a sister."

Ginny pulled her wand as her brothers all laughed. She threatened them with it and their laughter died down quickly.

"So what was this fellow like?" Charlie asked.

"She hardly talked to him at all," Ron said, sounding annoyed. "He was very keen to meet her."

"What in Godric's name did you tell him?" Ginny asked. "He just started harping on about himself and everything he did at school in France, including telling me about his beautiful French girlfriends. And his handshake was all soft and...ewww."

Ron started laughing.

"Ron did you tell him to do that?" Arthur asked. "That's not a particularly nice way to treat your friend or your sister."

"Dad, he's not a friend, really. He sort of latched onto Terry, Stuart, and me and we can't get rid of him," Ron said.

"So you were going to use Ginny to help?" Molly Weasley said, sounding aghast.

Ron looked at Ginny with a grin. "I hoped she'd Bat Bogey him and he'd not want to be around us any more."

Everyone laughed at that comment, including Ginny.

"Did she?" Charlie asked.

"No, I didn't," Ginny said proudly.

"So the set up didn't go well, then?" Fred asked.

Ron growled and Ginny smiled.

"Oh, I had a wonderful night," she said. "I was talking to Tonks, Charlie."

"Yeah? How is she?" Charlie asked sounding very interested.

"She's great. Fun to talk to," she replied.

Just then a sound of someone Apparating made everyone turn their heads. Harry was walking towards the group holding onto some flowers.

"Is that Harry?" Charlie asked.

"Why is he here?" Ron asked Ginny, at the same time.

"Harry, dear. We're so glad you could come," Molly Weasley said standing up and moving to greet him.

"Thanks Mrs. W...Molly. It was lovely to be invited," Harry said, at the same time handing her a bunch of mixed flowers.

"Oh, they're beautiful, but you didn't have to," Molly said, hugging him.

Harry then joined the rest of the family and sat next to Ginny, giving her a lily and a kiss on the cheek. At this, everyone, except for Ron and her parents, opened their mouths in shock and stared at Ginny and Harry. Ron groaned.

"What?" Fred and George asked at the same time.

"When did this happen?" Charlie asked at the same time as his twin brothers spoke.

Percy looked backwards and forwards between the pair of them and then eventually shrugged and smiled.

Ginny reached over and grabbed Harry's hand. "I did say I had a wonderful time at the dinner."

"So I'm guessing that you talked to Harry here instead of this other bloke," Fred said.

"I did. And we got on really well. It was definitely better than talking to Andy. Harry and Tonks were much more tolerable," Ginny said.

"Gee, thanks, Ginny," Harry said sarcastically, but the smile on his face belied the tone of his voice.

Ginny patted Harry on the knee and winked as everyone else laughed.

"Hang on. Harry, were you there with Tonks?" Charlie asked.

"Yeah, I was," he said.

"But..."

"Tonks is a friend. My godfather and she are cousins and as I didn't go to school we became close. She was the only one around that was sort of close to me in age," Harry said.

"You became close, huh?" Fred said with a smirk.

Ginny rolled her eyes and then watched the flush spread across Harry's face. She knew it was because of embarrassment. Harry had told her that there had never been anything between him and Tonks.

"Not in that way," Harry said, shaking his head. "That would be weird. Anyway, she likes someone else."

"Really?" Charlie asked, looking a little intrigued.

Harry's answer was cut off as Ginny's mother exclaimed and pointed to the lane. Everyone's heads turned to see two people, a man and a woman, walking towards them. Molly Weasley was out of her seat like a shot and heading towards her eldest child. The group watched the three people embrace, talk, and make their way towards them.

Ginny was torn between racing to greet her eldest brother and the woman by his side, and staying near Harry. She stood up to watch what was happening, as did everyone else, and Harry stood behind her, encircling her in his arms. It was so tempting to just lean back into his embrace and forget what was going on around her. But she was keen to find out who the woman was with Bill and what the big news was. Obviously it had to do with the woman who was walking beside him holding onto his arm.

As Bill approached, Ginny got a proper look at the woman. She was slim, blonde and extremely beautiful. Her beauty seemed to engulf everyone around her. She looked around to discover everyone was staring.

"Wow," Ginny said quietly. "She's beautiful."

Harry tightened his arms around her. "Depends on what you like," he replied, kissing her just above her ear.

She turned to look at Harry. He was staring down at her, smiling. He pressed a kiss on her forehead and then turned her again to face Bill who was now standing at one end of the table looking extremely nervous. The rest of her family was looking at the two newcomers enquiringly. Ginny decided to break the ice and she moved from Harry's arms and gave Bill a hug and said hi to the blonde woman. Her other brothers and her father then came and shook hands and said hello. Once the greetings were over, everyone sat around the table and looked expectantly at Bill.

"Well hi, everyone," he said nervously as he reached over to grab the blonde woman's hand. "First of I'd like to introduce to Fleur..."

In between the hellos, Fred spoke up. "You were in the TriWizard Tournament. I thought I recognised you."

"Zat I was," she replied, with a charming smile.

"Right," said Bill, stopping Fred from saying any more. "Fleur, this is my dad, Arthur," he said, indicating his dad with is hand.

"Pleezed to meet you," she said.

"And my brothers, Charlie, Percy, the twins, Fred and George, and Ron," Bill said, pointing at each of them as he said their names.

Fleur smiled and said hello to each of them. Fred and George engulfed her in hugs and kissed her outrageously before Bill pushed them away good-naturedly.

"And this is my sister, Ginny," Bill said looking at her and taking in who she was standing in front of. "And she seems to be standing with...Harry? Merlin, it is Harry." Bill walked over and stopped in front of Ginny and Harry.

Harry reached out to shake Bill's hand, which Bill quickly accepted. "Pleased to see you again," Harry said to Bill.

"You remember me, then," Bill said. "We only met a couple of times before the battle. I thought you would have been too busy to take much in."

"It was a horrible time, really," Harry said. "But I tried to remember those who fought alongside me."

Bill looked a little amazed and then smiled. "I don't mean to be rude, but how in Merlin's name do you happen to be standing with your arm around my sister?"

The crowd of Weasleys, who had watched the brief exchange between Harry and Bill quietly and with interest, all laughed at Bill's question.

"Ask Ron?" Harry replied with a smile.

Ron groaned when Bill looked at him enquiringly. "I took her to a Ministry function in the hope off scaring off this guy I work with. Instead of doing that, she got all chummy with Harry and they've been inseparable since."

Bill looked between Ginny, Harry, and Ron and decided not to say anymore.

"Right, then," the family matriarch said. "Now that everyone is here, let's eat. Ginny, come and help me."

Ginny sighed. It was always her that was asked to help. She was a little worried about what her brothers would be saying to Harry while she was inside. She knew he could look after himself, so she wasn't worried about him being threatened. Ginny was more worried about what they would say about her. But as she helped her mum levitate the remainder of the food, she realised that she had nothing to worry about. It seemed that Bill was telling everyone about Egypt.

Dinner was lovely, Ginny thought. She was able to sit near the man with whom she was rapidly falling in love, and she had her family around her. The conversation was entertaining and relaxed, and Harry's leg, resting against hers, sent shivers through her whole body.

"Um, Mum, Dad," Percy said nervously.

Ginny looked over at her most serious brother. He had finished his food very quickly, more like Ron would, and now he was nervously rubbing his hands together.

"Yes, Percy?" Arthur replied.

"Well...you see...I've been seeing this witch lately and I was wondering if I could bring her over for dessert," Percy said quietly.

Everyone around the table sat silently. Percy had not even mentioned a girl since his relationship with Penelope Clearwater ended, years ago. The silence was soon shattered when Fred and George started cheering and wolf whistling, causing Percy to blush.

"That's fine, son," Arthur eventually said.

"I don't have to," Percy said, looking worried. "It's just the fact that Ginny has Harry here, and Bill has Fleur..."

"It's fine, Percy, really," Molly said with a smile. "We'd love to meet her."

Percy nodded and Apparated away.

"What's that all about?" Harry asked Ginny quietly. "Everyone seems shocked."

"I guess we are. Percy hasn't had a girlfriend, or told us about one, for years," she replied.

"Ron!" George yelled, interrupting Harry and Ginny's conversation. "Why didn't you bring Lavender this evening?"

"Yes, Won-Won. Where is the lovely Lavender?" Fred continued.

Ginny laughed at the look of loathing on Ron's face. He was never going to live that nickname down.

"Yes, you should have brought her," Molly said. "You don't bring her home enough."

"It's fine," Ron muttered with a very red face. "I'll see her later."

Ginny leaned over to Harry. "Personally, I think her days as Ron's girlfriend are numbered."

"Yeah?" he asked.

"Mmm hmmm. They're not suited at all. One of my friends really likes him and I think they'd work well together."

"Where are your girlfriends, Fred and George?" Bill asked.

"Oh, brother dear," Fred started.

"We don't like to limit ourselves," George continued.

"Especially when there are so many fine women out there," Fred said, grinning.

"Waiting for us," George said, smiling widely.

"We're just like our dear brother, Charlie," Fred said.

"Sharing the Weasley loving around," George said. "Isn't that right?"

Charlie had turned very red. Ginny wasn't sure if it was from laughter or embarrassment, though. Harry was shaking with laughter beside her, as was Ron. Her mother, however, looked very displeased. Just at that moment, as if the twins had ordered it, two Apparition pops were heard, causing everyone to stop and turn. Percy had his back to everyone and seemed to be talking to and calming the girl in front of him.

"That was lucky," Ginny said.

"How?" Harry asked curiously.

"Did you see Mum's face? She was about to Hex the twins or yell at them. Believe me, you don't want Mum to look at you like that," Ginny said emphatically. "I guess Percy and his mystery girl are their salvation," Ginny said.

Harry turned to where Percy was still talking. "Do you recognise her?"

"Not at the moment," she replied. "Oh, look. They're coming over now." Ginny sat up straight and tried to see who Percy's new girl was. So far she could only tell that she was slim and of average height, with brown hair pulled back tightly from her face.

"She looks like she'd suit Percy," Charlie stated.

"Mmmm, she is dressed quite plainly and neatly," said George.

Ginny watched the pair come closer and gasped as they reached the table. She glanced at Ron, whose mouth was wide open

"Hermione!" Fred exclaimed.

Ron groaned and slid down in his chair.

Ginny jumped up and walked quickly to Percy and Hermione. Hermione was looking a little awkward, not knowing what to say. Ginny gave her a hug and then asked curiously, "When did this happen?"

"A few months ago," Hermione answered.

"You'll have to tell me all about it," she said.

"Later, Ginny," Percy said. "I need to introduce her to our parents."

Percy led Hermione away and Ginny returned to her seat to find Harry talking to Ron who was in her seat. Ron was looking a little bemused. Ginny sat on Harry's lap and his arms wrapped around her.

"Are you okay, Ron?" she asked.

"Of course I am," he replied.

"But..."

"Ginny, I don't fancy Hermione. I really don't," he said.

"Anymore," she said.

Ron glared at her.

"I saw you stare at her at school," Ginny said.

"Maybe in fifth year. After that she was scary," Ron said.

"How can a girl like that be scary?" Harry asked. "She looks like she'd be too timid to scare anything."

"Maybe to you," Ron said. "I know you've battled dark wizards, but let me tell you, if you were at school with us, I'm sure she would have scared you...unless you followed the rules all the time."

"Yeah, that's not me," Harry said with a laugh. "You never know, we may have all been friends."

"You and me, maybe. Her - I don't think so," Ron said.

"Hello, Ron," Hermione said as she walked over to them.

"Hermione," Ron said, giving her a slight wave. "I hope you and Percy are happy together."

"Why, thank you," Hermione replied before looking pointedly at Harry and Ginny.

"Oh!" Ginny exclaimed, knowing exactly what Hermione wanted. "This is Harry."

Harry removed a hand from her stomach and stretched it towards Hermione. "Hi, Hermione. Nice to meet you."

"Hello, Harry...Potter," Hermione said with awe as she shook his hand.

Ginny sighed and Harry groaned. He hated to be greeted like that.

"I guess you have some things to tell me, too," Hermione said.

"All right," Molly said loudly, stopping all the chatter. "It's time for dessert."

Bill stood up quickly with Fleur's hand grasped in his. "Mum, Dad, before that, there's something I need to tell you all..."

"You're engaged!" Molly yelled, clasping her hands together.

"Not quite, Mum," Bill said smiling. "Actually, it's a little more than that. You see Fleur and I got married about six weeks ago..."

"What?" Molly exclaimed. "Without all of us?"

"Now, Molly," Arthur said in a calm voice. "Just hear them out."

"But..."

"Mum," Bill said. "We would have loved you all to have been there, and Fleur's family, too. We decided that we wanted to get married straight away, with no messing around waiting for a suitable date for everyone."

"You're expecting, aren't you?" Molly asked.

Fleur blushed and Bill grinned.

"We are, actually," he said. "But that didn't happen until after the wedding. We only found out yesterday and were advised to come home."

"Is everything okay?" Arthur asked, looking worried.

"Ze 'eat of Egypt does not agree with me," Fleur said. " Ze 'ealer zaid zat we'd be better 'ere."

Molly was out of her seat hugging the pair. Everyone else was calling out their congratulations. Ginny looked over at her dad and saw a tear trickle down his cheek and a huge smile on his face.

"Dessert," Molly stated, a little later after she was prised away from her eldest son and his wife.

Ginny stood up. "While we're sharing news," she said looking around at her gathered family. "And don't worry. It's totally different news to Bill's." She could see her mother relax at this and some of her brothers stopped glaring at her and Harry. "Mum and Dad, you've probably thought that I've been out job hunting these past few weeks, but I've actually started my new career." Everyone was looking at her in anticipation. She paused for a little before continuing. "I've started pre-season training with the Holyhead Harpies."

"What?" her mum exclaimed.

"No way," Ron said.

"Wow," Fred and George said together.

"Charlie came up and gave her a huge hug. "Well done, Ginger," he said. "I'm glad one Weasley ended up playing professional Quidditch."

Congratulations came from the rest of the family after that. When she looked around she noticed that her dad's smile hadn't gotten any smaller.

Molly stood up. "Is there any more news, or can we have dessert now?"

When there was no reply, Ginny stood up and walked into the kitchen with her mum following her.

"Mum?" Ginny asked once they were both in the kitchen. "Are you okay?"

"Of course I am," her mum replied, grasping Ginny's hands. "I always thought Charlie would be the one playing Quidditch, not my daughter. But I guess it was inevitable with you stealing broomsticks at such a young age. I can see how much you want to do this and I know how much you love flying."

"I do and I'm so happy," she said, hugging her mum.

"That's good. Now let's get these outside."

Ginny followed her mum back outside. As she passed Harry she waved the dish holding the treacle tart under his nose. He licked his lips and made to take the dish from her. She laughed and darted away to put the dishes on the table.

After everyone had finished eating, Ginny surreptitiously grabbed the remainder of the treacle tart and gestured to Harry to follow her. Harry clasped her hand in his as they walked through the garden to the clearing where the makeshift Quidditch rings were set up. They found a suitable spot at the far end and sat on a blanket that Harry conjured. Ginny placed the pie dish in front of them and conjured two forks.

"Mmmm," Harry said as he broke off some treacle tart with his fork and ate it. "This is delicious. Your mum makes the best food in the world."

"She does, but she didn't make the treacle tart. I did," Ginny said as she helped herself to more tart.

Harry groaned, leaned closer, and kissed her. "I am never letting you go," he said, smiling. "You make my favourite dessert the best out of anyone in the whole wide world."

She laughed. "Glad to be of service."

Once the tart was finished, he moved the dish to one side and lay down on the blanket and pulled her down to join him. He pulled her against his body and pressed a kiss to her forehead.

"Your family is fabulous, Ginny," he said. "It must have been great growing up here."

"It was mostly," she said. "Though, being the youngest and only girl had its problems."

"Mmmm," he said, rubbing his hand up and down her arm. "Tell me about Hermione and why Ron was so stunned."

Ginny rolled on her side so that she could see his face properly. Harry copied her so that they were almost nose-to-nose.

"Hermione is very smart and a little overbearing with it. It's not that she rubs it in your face; she just can't see why others don't get things like she does. Plus, she loves rules and really hates when people don't follow them. She was a fabulous prefect and Head Girl because of that. Well...not to the rule breakers," she said with a wry smile. "She was in Gryffindor like Ron and me, and in Ron's year. She used to get so frustrated with Ron because he wouldn't do much work, and then when Ron started working his arse off in sixth and seventh years, she started getting worried that Ron might be better than her at some things. Hermione never really annoyed me too much. I get along with her okay, though Ron hasn't in recent years."

"What made Ron start working hard?" Harry asked curiously.

"He wanted to be an Auror," she replied.

"Ah," Harry said nodding. "And Ron fancied her?"

"I think he did, at one stage, but then she got so competitive with him over school work. I think that might have put him off her," Ginny said. "She's perfect for Percy, though."

"I've only met Percy a couple of times," Harry said. "And he came across as quite serious and a little pompous."

"That's him," Ginny said, chuckling.

"And what makes you think that Ron and Lavender are going to break up?" Harry asked suddenly. "They seem quite happy together."

"She's happy," Ginny replied. "She loves fawning all over him, but Ron really isn't like that. He's putting up with it for now, and I really don't want to think why. But he'll get fed up with her soon."

"And you said your friend likes him?" Harry asked.

"Yeah, Demelza. She was on the Quidditch team with Ron and me. She's got another year of school, though, so maybe this time next year I'll try to get them together," she said.

"Trying your hand at matchmaking, are we, Miss Weasley?" Harry said, laughing. "I hope you do a better job than Ron."

She chuckled. "Yeah, well he didn't really want me to go out with Andy. He just wanted me to Hex him and scare him away."

"Are you that scary?" Harry asked.

"I can be," Ginny said. "Ask my brothers."

"Oh, I believe you," he said. "I just hope I never have it directed towards me."

"And so you should, Mr. Potter," Ginny said cheekily.

Harry grinned and moved closer to kiss her.

A little while later, Ginny pulled back and sighed. She then remembered what Bill had announced earlier. "I'm going to be an auntie," she said happily.

"Auntie Ginny," Harry said. "I bet you'll spoil him or her."

"I'll definitely be introducing him or her to Quidditch," she said. "More Weasleys, how exciting."

"You have a great family, Ginny. You should be excited," Harry said with a little bit of envy.

"Oh, Harry," she said. "I wish you had your parents around."

"Me, too," he said quietly. "But, I do have Sirius and Remus."

"And Tonks," Ginny stated.

"Yes, Tonks, too," Harry said. "Actually Sirius will be home from America in the next few days. I've told him about you and he can't wait to meet you. Remus, too."

Ginny felt a little nervous at the thought of meeting Harry's family.

Harry gently ran his hand across her cheek. "You have nothing to be nervous about. They'll love you."

"Yeah?"

"Yeah," Harry replied. "How in the name of Merlin did no one in your family know about the Harpies? Why did you keep it a secret so long?"

"They never asked," she said. "I was a little afraid that I wouldn't be good enough and get chucked out, so I wanted to settle in before I said anything."

"You're a brilliant flier. I love flying here with you and I can't wait to see you out on the pitch," he said.

"I'll be a reserve for a while, so it won't be that often to start with," she said.

"I don't mind. I'll be there watching no matter what," he said.

"What if there's some big Auror emergency?" Ginny asked.

"I'll send Andy," he said laughing.

"Not Ron?" she asked.

"No, he'll want to be at the Quidditch, too," Harry said.

"He'll appreciate that. He loves Quidditch," Ginny said.

"I've heard him. Can't believe he supports the Cannons, though," Harry said laughing.

"And who do you support?" Ginny asked.

"The Harpies, of course," he said.

"Sweet talker," Ginny said leaning closer.

Harry lips were just about to touch hers when he paused. "Did I hear Charlie call you Ginger?"

She groaned and pushed him onto his back and leaned over him. "No," she said and stopped him from replying by kissing him.
