A/N:Let me just say, teenage life sucks.
Homework, working after school, drama, the works.
Sorry this took so long. Hope you like it!
By the way, thanks to everyone who contributed to my 100 reviews!
'Ron, you think you're so funny, who should I use this with?'
'I don't know, Ginny. It just has to be extra harsh.'
Hermione chuckled. 'I'm sorry I'm saying this against one of my best friends, but this is really good, using love potion when your brother gets mad.'
'Of course, it was my idea Mione!' Ron gave her a kiss on the cheek, and Hermione giggled.
As soon as he broke away, Harry threw a shoe at Ron's head. 'Thanks, Ron. Ginny, you better not, I'm serious. I won't take you for dinner tonight.'
Ginny giggled. 'Only dinner? What else will you do?'
'... Hex you?'
'Nice try, you know you won't. You love me too much.' Ginny walked over to Harry and pulled him into a long snog. Ron gagged and Hermione laughed and hit him in the arm. The two broke apart by an owl flying through the window, which Harry had seen once before.
Hey Harry, Just thought I should update you on some things. At the end of the year, I'll be flying up to London to find a job. Not sure yet, I don't think school's doing too well.
I'm meeting this girl Sydney tomorrow. I forgot to tell you- me and Lavender split. I was talking to her and she started to cry when I told her I didn't like the Weasley family. (don't think I forgot about that, you tell them) It was worst when I told her I didn't know which one was Ron, and started telling me how she missed him. I couldn't stand it.
Anyway, I hope you're okay. I'd like some more words from you. And thanks for saving my life... again.
Dudley PS- I would say that mum and dad said hi, but they still don't know I know how to contact you.
'So, my brother's ex-girlfriend still misses him? Awh...'
Hermione's face turned red. 'Ron-'
Ron was still looking at the letter. 'Lavender? She needs to get a grip on herself, honestly.'
Harry smiled when Ginny hugged her, and watched Ron and Hermione.
'So Ronald, you don't-'
'I love you, alright? Forget her.' And he kissed her.
----------------------------------
'Hermione, come over here and help me.'
Ron was sitting in the kitchen of the Burrow, holding a miniature clone of himself at an arm's distance. Hermione walked in, face poring through a book.
'What do you need, Ronald?'
'The kid. He smells.'
Hermione laughed. 'You are so lucky you don't have kids.' She put the book down on the table and looked at Ron, who's face was pink, and Ron's clone, who was giggling. 'What did you do to Teddy to make him morph into you?'
'What do you think? I told him he stunk.'
Hermione laughed. 'You know, you shouldn't have told Harry you could take care of him then.'
'It was five easy Galleons. He probably knew I know nothing about taking care of kids. But at the look of things, Harry could have spared ten; he's loaded. And it seems like this kid smells like he's been playing with Stinksap.'
'Don't talk about Teddy like that!' She took Teddy out of Ron's arms.
'Well, at least him and Ginny could go out alone for a change.'
'Yeah, yeah. Why does Ted smell?'
'He just needs to get changed.'
'Well, you can do it.'
'And why would I do that? I'm not getting paid. I'm just here because I have to stay with you.'
Ron gave a corny smile. 'Because you love me.'
'I won't do it for you, no matter how much- stop looking at me like that! I won't do it!'
Ron hugged Hermione from behind. 'I'll give you anything.'
'You always say that. Still, no.'
'Blimey! Why not?'
'I don't know how to. I'm reading this book, and it doesn't tell me how to do it.'
'Merlin's beard, Mione.'
----------------------------
'... and George said that I'd change back in a week.' Ginny frowned as Harry started to howl in laughter. 'Harry, stop! I LOOKED LIKE A HAG!'
Harry wiped away a tear. 'I'm sorry. You said it was ten years ago!'
'Still, Harry, these are my biggest secrets I'm telling you!'
'I'm sorry, Gin.' He leaned over the table and kissed her. 'Wait a second... shouldn't you be telling me your deepest secrets in private?'
'I guess... you done eating? By the way, thanks for bringing me here, you're so romantic.'
Harry snorted. 'I made Hermione choose the place, and what to do.'
'Anyway, it's nice you listened to Hermione. Let's get going?'
'I may have killed Voldemort, but if I don't pay the bill, these people will kill me.'
Ginny laughed as Harry walked away to pay. He came back and they Apparated to Grimmaud Place.
'Harry, don't you want to check on Teddy?'
'Ted's fine. He's with Ron.'
'That's what I mean.'
'Hermione's there too.'
'Oh.' She sat down on the sofa in front of the fireplace. 'Well, where were we?'
'I don't know... a kiss will refresh my memory.'
Ginny laughed. 'You got that from Ron, didn't you? Don't ever say that again.' She kissed him.
'You were telling about your deepest secrets.'
'You know... you know most of them anyway. About the Chambers,' she shivered. 'and the rest is Fred and George testing stuff on me.'
'You must have another story for me.' He sat down next to her.
'Not really.'
'From after school?'
'Well...' tears were forming in her eyes. 'I really miss Fred. Obviously. I mean, he told me to always stay strong no matter what. But I mean... it's Fred. The funny one. It's always been Fred and George until a year ago. I'm still not used to just saying George.' She put her head on Harry's chest. 'I'm sorry, this was supposed to be a special night.'
Harry started stroking her red hair. 'It's fine, Gin. You know I'd rather see you crying than holding something in. We all miss him.'
After sitting there, she looked up at Harry. 'What happened?'
'What do you mean?'
'I told you everything, and you still didn't tell me anything about you.'
Harry laughed. 'My life's been followed by the Prophet, Ginny. Anyway, I guess it started with Dudley beating the-'
'Speed it up seventeen years.'
'W-What?'
'I-I want to know where you went. You and Ron and Hermione. I was so worried.'
'This isn't the time, Ginny.'
'Yes, it is. I mean, you told me that you didn't want me to hold anything inside.'
'Fine.' He took a deep breath. 'It started at Bill and Fleur's wedding...'
-------------------------------
'Hermione, I'm serious. Help me clean this baby.'
'I'm looking Ron. Scourgify won't work... we dont need the soap in his diapers.'
'Well hurry up, I'm about to Avada Kedavra myself with this smell.'
'Ron, be nice! Hold Teddy. No, seriously, take him!'
'You should know this stuff! You're smart, you're beautiful-'
'Stop with that talk. That has nothing to do with changing diapers.'
'Get Fleur to come over or something... she has a baby!'
That was true. Just the week before, Fleur gave birth to a girl, just like her mother, named Victoire. 'That may be true, Ron, but she's had her only for a week! We can't bug her over some other child; she has her own to take care of!'
'Well we need to get rid of it.' Teddy started bawling louder than he's ever done before. 'Bloody hell, think of something!'
'I am, I am!' Hermione started pacing. 'I can't believe I don't know how to change a diaper. And I refuse to touch it, no offense... what should we do?'
'I have never seen this side of you Hermione. You're not as cute as you look anymore.'
'Oh, ha ha. Help me out, would you? I can't believe you won't do it.'
'I'm not touching... baby poop.' He started to think. 'I can't believe it's taking us this long to change a diaper... I GOT IT!' He pulled his wand out and pointed it at Ted's behind. 'Evanesco!' The smell and the drop in Ted's diaper went away. Ted also stopped crying.
'Ron, you're amazing, I can't believe I didn't remember that!' She clapped her hands together.
'Thank goodness. I just wanted to get that smell away from me.'
Before Hermione could reply, there was a rapping on the window. Hermione opened it to let a small, brown owl fly and land in front of Ron. He put Ted on the floor and opened the letter attatched to his leg and read.
Hello there Ron,
I know this is the un-official way of doing it, but it's too much paperwork if I do otherwise. I'm surprised I haven't seen you here at the Ministry with Hermione and Harry; they're doing great at work. The Auror Department has a spot with your name on it. Please reply with an answer so I can set up a meeting with you.
I hope the rest of the family is well. Tell your brother I said congratulations on the baby.

Minister of Magic
Hermione squealed and wrapped her arm around Ron. 'Ron, it's your dream job!'
Ron grinned and hugged her back. 'Now I have everything' and he pulled Hermione into a long kiss.
The kitchen door opened a minute later, and George walked in. 'Anyo-woah.' He looked at his brother and Hermione together, and Ted crawling around the table. 'Bloody hell, can you two take a room? You have a kid here!' He pulled his wand out and pointed it at Ted. 'Obscuro!' A blindfold covered Ted's eyes, and he started to , so George picked him up. 'I'm taking this one up to bed, and I guess I'll go somewhere to leave you two alone.'
Ron resurfaced for a moment. 'Can you hurry up?'
George gagged and ran up the stairs. Ron returned to what he was doing.
A/N: Okay, so not as good as I hoped.
It's actually pretty bad in my eyes. But I tried.
I know I left Harry and Ginny hanging... the chapter would be too long for me to finish, which would have meant you'd wait longer.
Anyway, reviews will be appreciated.
Wow.
I just noticed most of this chapter is about a diaper.
-shakes head-
