Thanks for all the reviews/favourites/alerts. Left the last chapter on a bit of a cliffhanger, right? ;)

Chapter Ten - Suspicious Parents

Molly was frozen in the doorway of the classroom, her mouth hanging slightly open, as Percy Weasley and Penelope Clearwater broke apart and looked round at the sound of her voice. Percy and Penelope were both bright red; Molly had gone as pale white as a ghost.

'What – what did you just say?' Penelope asked Molly.

'Never mind,' she replied hastily. 'It was just the first word that came to my head. Sorry to disturb you…'

'Don't tell anyone, will you?' Percy added as Molly turned to leave.

'Why not?' Molly snapped without thinking. 'It's not like anyone would care, would they?'

'I'd rather not explain my reasoning to someone I don't know,' Percy said coldly, and now it was Molly's turn to flush red.

'Don't know?' she hissed. 'Don't know? I'll show you don't know, just you wait – '

'What are you talking about Molly?' Penelope cut in. 'First you yell "Dad", and then you take offence at the fact he doesn't know you! Are you alright?'

'I'm fine,' Molly replied. 'But I don't think your boyfriend is.'

And with that, she walked out of the room in search of a quieter spot, her heart hammering against her chest, hoping that she didn't give too much away.

Ginny, meanwhile, was looking for someone. She'd been thinking about what she'd seen in the future, when she and Harry were kissing in the corridor. Ever since then she'd gone even more red every time she saw Harry, and she'd been thinking about what Albus had told her when he admitted they were from the future. If she wanted to know who Harry's future wife is, she had to look at James's eyes. As she hurried up the Charms corridor, she passed Lily and Rose. They both said hi, and she smiled in return before stopping dead.

'What's the matter Ginny?' Rose asked her.

'Where are you two going?' she said.

'To try and find Molly,' Lily piped up. 'Want to come?'

'No thanks. I don't suppose you've seen your brother, James, recently?'

'What's he done to make you mad this time?' Lily sighed, and Rose subtlety hit her cousin on the back of her head.

'Nothing,' Ginny said, slightly confused. 'I just want to talk to him. So, have you seen him?'

'Yeah,' Lily said, while Rose sighed in relief. 'We passed him and Fred a while ago, trying to escape from Professor Lockhart, though I'm not sure where they went.'

'Oh, well, thanks anyway,' Ginny said, and she walked away from the other two girls without another word.

James and Fred, it turned out, were lounging by the lake with a couple of fellow third years.

'Hey Ginny Weasley!' James exclaimed as she approached, and Fred burst out laughing. 'How can we help you?'

'I just wanted to ask you if you think this is a good idea,' she replied, and her eyes met his. They were brown, and the exact same shade hers' were. She felt her face grow hot.

'Yes?' James prompted her.

'I wanted to know if you thought it would be a good idea if I asked your brother, Al, out,' she said. 'Nothing's really happening with me and Harry, and Al seems so much nicer…'

'No, no,' James replied hastily. 'He's really not, he's awful, and he'd break your heart, seriously.'

'Oh, alright then,' Ginny said. 'That's all I wanted to talk to you about. Bye!'

She quickly turned away from James, Fred and their friends so that she could not see that she'd gone bright red.

Night had fallen, and most of the students had retreated to their Common Rooms. A small group of people were seated at the Gryffindor table in the Great Hall, shrouded in darkness.

'Wow, it took a while to find everyone,' Victoire sighed. 'Okay, so this meeting has been called by Molly, Lily, Rose and James. Why?'

The four of them stood up, and James spoke first. 'Because I think my Mum knows. She asked me if I thought it would be okay if she asked out Albus. I think she wanted to see how I'd react, to prove that she's our mum.'

'Lily gave it away a bit too,' Rose cut in. 'And this meeting was also called because I wanted to berate Molly about the fact that Lily is a student when she's clearly not ready. However, we have seen Professor Dumbledore this afternoon, and he has agreed that Lily would do better as Madam Hooch's helper.'

'And I may have given a bit away to my Dad,' Molly admitted. 'It's getting harder to hide it from them. I want to tell them so badly. I've only seen my Mum once, and it was enough to make me want to tell her everything.'

'I've seen her more than once,' Lucy added smugly.

'So what do you want us to do?' Roxanne asked. 'Tell them?'

'I think we should,' Louis replied.

'Easy for you to say, neither of your parents are here,' Albus pointed out.

'Oh yeah, good point!'

'I say we should,' Molly said. 'We have to figure out some way of getting them all together, and tell them.'

'Are we all agreed?' Victoire asked. They all nodded, and she smiled. 'Then it's decided. We are going to tell them everything as soon as we can.'
