Breakfast was a very quiet meal that morning since everyone was thinking about what was going to happen when Mr. and Mrs. Weasley arrived later that afternoon for tea. They all knew that Mrs. Weasley wasn't going to take the news of her daughter's pregnancy well. Percy was the first to finish his breakfast so he went off to get Bill and Charlie. It had been decided the night before that the entire Weasley family should be there to support Ginny.
Ginny was just finishing her third helping when Charlie and Bill arrived. They were both very shocked to see a ring on Ginny's finger. They knew that Draco was thinking about asking Ginny to marry him but they never expected him to do it so soon. They instantly lifted her into a double hug. It took Draco nearly ten minutes to get Bill and Charlie to put their baby sister down and let her finish eating her breakfast. Once she had finally finished eating everyone went into the sitting room.
Draco and Ron decided to play a game of chess while the rest of the Weasleys, Harry and Hermione discussed the best way to break the news to Molly. None of them were worried about how Arthur would react as he never raised his voice in anger at his children least of all at Ginny. After an hour of talking and Draco and Ron wining two games of chess each Ginny decided it was time for a nap. Percy and Draco escorted her upstairs to one of the guestrooms and she instantly fell asleep.
"Does she always fall asleep that quickly?" Draco asked as they went back downstairs.
"When she's tired she does. When she was younger she used to always fall asleep on the couch every time she sat down on it for more then five minutes." Percy laughed to himself. "Once when she was five she had sat down on the couch to let mum put her shoes on and before mum had even gotten the shoes on her feet she was out." Draco smiled at the image of a five year old Ginny asleep on a couch.
The rest of the morning was spent cleaning and talking. The Weasleys telling Draco about what Ginny was like when she was younger and about the Borrow. They were all so caught up in their conversations that no one even noticed that Ginny was awake and watching them all laughing and talking together. She couldn't help but smile at the sight of them all together like a big happy family. Ginny stood there listening to them tell stories about her as a baby and a young girl for a few minutes before she finally called attention to the fact that she was awake and quite hungry.
"So. What's for lunch or has everyone forgotten about that?" They all jumped when Ginny spoke. Ginny couldn't help but laugh at them. "I'm gonna go make myself some lunch. Would any of you like something to eat also?"
"I'll help you make lunch and the boys can continue their little chat." Hermione rose and walked with Ginny to the kitchen. It didn't take long for them to prepare a simple lunch for everyone.
Once everyone had eaten lunch and the dishes were all clean they decided that they might as well go into the village for a while before it was time for Mr. and Mrs. Weasley to arrive. Percy decided to stay home incase they should arrive early. Draco and Ginny decided to go to the Three Broomsticks' with Harry, Ron and Hermione. Fred and George went to Zonko's joke shop while Bill and Charlie went to Honeydukes. They returned to Hog's End an hour later, Ginny was getting worn out and it was almost time for tea.
While everyone was getting ready for Mr. and Mrs. Weasley to arrive Ginny took another nap. No one bothered to wake her when Mr. and Mrs. Weasley arrived either. They all decided it would be best for her to stay asleep for as long as possible. Mrs. Weasley was shocked to see Harry and Hermione there along with her two eldest sons. She rarely got to have all her children together at the same time anymore. Almost always one of them was off somewhere.
Mr. and Mrs. Weasley had been at the house for nearly two hours before Draco finally went and woke Ginny. It took him a little bit to wake her and get her dressed for tea. They had decided to wait and have tea once she was awake. Since Ginny was still so tired Draco decided that he better carry her down to the dinning room for tea. Just as he was about to enter the dinning room Ginny stopped him.
"Put me down here. I think it would be best if you don't carry me in. My mum will instantly know that something's wrong and will get more upset then if we just walk in there and tell her up front." Ginny took a deep breath. "Are you ready to face the wrath of Molly Weasley?"
Draco just nodded and took her hand in his then pushed open the door. They were almost to their seats when Mrs. Weasley noticed her daughter's swollen belly. She was in a slight state of shock but quickly snapped out of it.
"How could no one have told me about this!?" She demanded. "I want an explanation now!" She turned on Harry and her sons. No one spoke for a few minutes unsure how to tell her what she wanted to hear.
"Mum. Calm down. They only just found out today." Ginny responded motioning at her brothers. "If you're gonna get upset at anyone it should be me not them. They didn't know about this much before you did and we all agreed that it was my job to tell you not theirs"
"Well I'm utterly outraged that you would be so stupid Ginny. You're not even out of school. What were you thinking? Oh wait you probably weren't. And you," She turned and faced Draco now. "How dare you steal my baby girl's childhood away from her. You're probably gonna leave her once you graduate, aren't you?" She shook her head in anger. "I can't deal with this right now. Arthur, we're leaving." And with that they both apparated out of the house.
