Review: Thank you. Glad I could help in my own baffling way. I'm thinking Hermione deserves Lily's engagement ring from the family vault. I'm having a little problem with Draco/Ginny. I have to remind myself this is not the same Draco. He's being a good friend to the trio. You're doing well. Keep at it!

Reply: I hope that the explanation with why Ginny did what she did helps a little. It's a crappy explanation but I had to think of something. Lol. Thank you! And that's exactly what I'm thinking of too!

Review: First of all, no offense, only personal opinion.
I don't understand why many writers 'love' to write such cliché plots like HE breaking HER heart then asking for HER forgiveness and SHE just forgives HIM, easy like that? Well I guess that's are your nature, kind and forgiving. Because, as a woman, I don't forgive the man who hurt me that much so easily. I will have him pay to my satisfaction before I forgive him, forgive but never forget.

Reply: Now, you have to remember that Harry was under a love potion. He had no control. If he had any control over what he was doing, he would have stayed with Hermione and not have fucked Ginny. So it's kinda not his fault for doing what he did.

Review: You had me locked in until this chapter. It would have been a better story if Hermione hadn't lost her memories

Reply: I'm sorry to hear that. I genuinely think that her losing her memories made the story happen because as the story continues on she regains her memory and thinks come to life and the truths comes out and TADA. They live happily ever after! NOT! Lol.

Review: Harry is going to propose? Awwwwww how cute! I kinda saw it coming though. But, I'm quite curious about where the ring is going to come from. I dont think he'd ever use the resurrection stone, especially as he discarded it by throwing it back into the river. Maybe he still has one of the D.A. Galleons and he's going to make it into the wedding band for her? That'd be adorable!
And WHAT?! I did NOT see Draco/Ginny coming in this fic. They are soooooo cute together, but I just didn't expect it. And how they started dating, I'm not so sure about. My brother was in the hospital for months due to his cancer and I didn't let anybody in during that time. Ginny is a different person, but I feel like it should've been more like Draco just comforting her as he was Ron's roommate and them sharing stories, Draco stealing a peck on her cheek one day after a couple of weeks, and it slowly but surely developing into a real relationship. When someone you care so much about is suddenly put into a life/death situation, anything that brings you joy makes you feel guilty so she could've struggled to accept Draco because she felt like she didn't deserve to have happiness when her brother could be gone in any moment.
That's just how I think it could be more realistic, but that's also just me.
And thank you for not killing him off. I didn't vote because I didn't know which I wanted to see happen because I knew each would make for an interesting story and that authors always have a reason for killing off characters. As unfortunate as they may be…
Please update!

Reply: Omg! Thank you for all the great ideas! I'll take them into deep consideration. and I hope the explanation explains a few things. Sorry about the angst. o.o I hope you enjoy the story!

Review: Enjoy the story, but still want to know who attacked the foursome over breakfast.

Reply: It's coming up in later chapters. Don't worry. :D

Now on with the story! :)

Chapter Fourteen

Surprise?

"Thank Merlin." Ron muttered to himself as he left St. Mungo's. "Finally. I was getting tired of all of those people constantly watching me." He wasn't paying attention to where he was going so it wasn't that surprising when he knocked himself and someone else to the ground. Hard.

"Bloody Hell." . ?docid=39824346 whispered to himself, rubbing his head. He noticed a lady was on the ground beside him, a woman that Ron had never seen before.

"I am so sorry!" He said to her. "I wasn't paying attention to where I was going and I was lost in my thoughts and-" He was cut off by the woman lifting herself off the ground and saying, "Oh. It's quite alright. I also wasn't paying attention so I'm partially at fault here too."

She lifted her head and he was met with the most stunning blue-gray eyes. (A/N: I don't know if this is what her eye color really is but this is what I want it to be so yeah :P) Her face was framed with dark brown locks that were curled loosely so it looked casual but still stunning. (Again, I wanted her hair to be like this. Lol)

"Ron Weasley?" She asked. She held out her hand. He shook her hand in return.

"Nice to meet you, Miss...?" He let his sentence trail off, insinuating for her to state her name.

"Astoria Greengrass." She smiled. He smiled a shy smile back.

"Nice to meet you, Ms. Greengrass." It was awkward for a moment before he asked her a question.

"Did we go to school together?"

"We were in school together but not in the same year. I was two years behind you. My sister, Daphne, was in your year though."

"Really? That's neat." It was silent once again.

"Well, I best be going now. It was lovely to talk to Mr. Weasley." She said, then nodded her head before going to walk off. When she was ten feet from him he yelled, "Wait!"

She stopped but didn't turn around.

"Yes?"

"Please. Call me Ron." He said and she turned around with the glimmer of a smirk on her face.

"Well, in that case, call me Astoria. Goodbye, Ron. I have a feeling we'll meet again soon." And with a wink and a little wave, she strutted down the street, leaving Ron feeling like a 5th year school boy.

"Ouch!"

"Will you stop that!"

"Ow. Can you please not play with the balloons! We don't have an unlimited amount of them!"

Multiple voices groaned and complained as the banner fell from the entrance of the doorway. It stated Welcome Home Ron! George and Charlie were blowing up balloons but as soon as one was tied and ready to be let loose, George would sneak up behind an unsuspecting victim and pop them in their ears.

"GEORGE! Stop it right now!" Hermione yelled after the fifth balloon was popped right in her ear. She smacked him upside the head and took the balloons away from him, before heading over to Teddy and Victoire.

"Hiya youngings!" She said in a fake country accent. They both giggled and she sat the balloons in between them. "Would you two be a doll and blow up some balloons for me? Your uncles keep wasting them." She asked, even though she already knew that they would agree.

Both of the tiny heads nodded, one with straight blonde hair and the other with short, dark brown messy hair, and went to work. She smiled and walked over to Harry and Bill, who were trying to set the banner up without magic.

"Can you tell me again why we're not doing this with magic?" She asked.

"I wanted to do it the muggle way for once. We all rely on magic and this doesn't really require magic to do so I thought we could do it normal for once." But as he said that, the banner fell down again and he growled lowly in his throat and it sent wonders through her.

While he was turned around and went to get more tacks, she whipped out her wand and silently cast Wingardium Leviosa. The banner lifted into the air and she signaled Bill to take two or three tacks and stab them in the corners of the banner.

And with that, the banner was raised into the air.

Although when Harry turned back around and noticed it in the air, he glared at Hermione who just smiled back innocently.

Although her smile disappeared once a pop sounded in her ear again. She turned around and saw one George Weasley and a tiny black haired child, who was in George's arms, running away like lightning. She flicked her wand and with that, both persons were suspended in air, upside down. Teddy just giggled but George just folded his arms and pouted like the little kid he is.

"Now, Georgie." She started, as if she was speaking to a kid rather than an adult like herself.

"What did I say about popping balloons in my ears, or anyone else's ears?" She asked him in a scolding tone. Though internally, she was laughing like a mad woman.

"...Not to." He grumbled.

"That's right. And you didn't listen to me, did you?" She asked again.

"...No."

She flicked her wand again and with that, he started laughing manically, as if multiple pairings of hands were tickling him.

"Now what do you say?" She asked, folding her arms and leaning back against the body behind her. She had already let Teddy down because she knew he was tricked into it by his manipulative uncle.

"I'M S-" His words were cut off by another round of laughter. "I'M SORRY. I-I WON'T D-DO I-I-IT A-AHA-AGAIN." His words were loud and he stuttered a lot but she understood what he was saying. She flicked her wand and the tickling spell was removed and he was gently lowered to the floor.

"Now, we have..." She looked over at the clock. "...Two hours before Ron gets here. I have to make a cake plus dinner, Harry is going to be helping me so can I please, please, please count on you to do the decorations and watch the kids?"

He got to his feet unsteadily, and saluted her while nodding his head.

She giggled. "Okay then. Get to it." And with that he started on the decorations, and Harry and Hermione went to the kitchen to start dinner.

When Ron entered the house, he knew something was going on. All the lights were off, and no one was home.

"Hello?" He asked and walked into the house, and toed off his shoes before going to walk further into the house but tripping over what seemed like a body that was kneeling.

"Oomph!" He uttered and together, both people fell down.

"Ugh. Ron! You're squishing me, get off!" A feminine voice yelled.

"Ginny? What are you doing down there?" The lights were turned on and he looked around. There were decorations everywhere. Also, his family, Harry, Draco, and Hermione were gathered around. Though George and Charlie were coming out from behind the couch, as if they were hiding.

"What are you all doing?" He asked, confused. George pointed at the banner, and after reading it, Ron understood.

"You know, you didn't have to throw me a party." He said, and chuckled before going around and giving everyone a hug.

"So, I have some news." Draco announced as everyone was finishing their dinner, which was absolutely fantastic.

Once everyone's eyes were on him, he made his announcement.

"I met this lovely lady and we're been dating for almost three months." Gasps were heard around the table.

"Three months?" Asked Molly. "Why in heaven's name would you keep a relationship a secret for three months? Who is the lady? I'm sure she's lovely." She said.

"We decided to keep it a secret because we didn't want anyone attention at the moment and we're were both dealing with things at the time and we wanted everyone to be focused on them and not our relationship. The lucky lady is..." He paused for affect, and looked around the table. All occupants were focused on him.

"Miss Ginerva Weasley, right here." He finished and gasps were heard around the room.

"Oh Ginny dear, I'm so happy for you!" Molly gushed at her daughter before starting to talk about a wedding, already. Hermione got up and hugged Ginny and Draco but whispered in Draco's ear, "You hurt her and you won't be able to reproduce. Got it?" He nodded with some fear running through his veins. She smiled and sat back down next to Harry who nodded and smiled at them both and kissed Hermione's cheek.

For the rest of the night, the occupants in the house either congratulated Ron for, well, being alive or they went to the new, or newish, couple and congratulated them. Or, some just ate Hermione lovely chocolate cake instead for the rest of the night. Or at least, that's what the kids did anyway until they passed out on the couch.

Ginny's P.O.V.

Now I know that people probably think I don't deserve to love again

But it wasn't my fault. I was a love-obsessed teenager. I wanted someone to love me and when I saw Harry and Hermione with pure love between them, I wanted that to be me. Well, in that case, it actually was my fault.

I slipped Harry a potion one day after a Quidditch match that Gryfinndor had won. The whole house was having a party and I slipped a tiny bit of a love-potion/obedient potion in his drink and it made him fall in love with the person who 'poisoned' them.

I just wanted to be loved and feel protected. And I had a crush on Harry since I was really little. But that's no excuse for what I did.

After Hermione caught him in bed with me, I felt horrible. She was one of best friends, who I could talk to about anything. And I ruined it because of my selfishness.

Harry refused to talk or even be in my presence after that. He hated me because he really, really loved Hermione and I ruined it for them.

My family hated me, because I ruined a perfectly good relationship and I didn't talk to them for a good five years. In that five years, I don't remember how many times that I almost killed myself.

I was overwhelmed with grief and hate for myself because of what I had caused and I couldn't stand to live with myself soon after. I tried anyway I could think of. Ingesting a few bottles of muggle prescription drugs, drowning myself, cutting, and hanging myself. But each time, I got afraid and wouldn't do it. So I invested some help in a friend. His name is Blaise Zabini.

I was gonna go out the wizarding way. I was gonna have him put his wand to my head and say the killing curse. And it almost happened.

I had pissed him off, saying things about his family and yelling in his face. He had his wand against my temple and I stood there and closed my eyes. Waiting for it.

He had said, 'What are you doing, Weasley?' I just kept my eyes closed and whispered to myself, 'Please. Please. Please do it. I'm waiting for it. I'll do anything. Just say the words and let me be free of myself.' Instead of what him relieving myself of my self-hate, two arms wrapped around me and starting rocking me back and forth. Apparently, he had heard what I was saying and wasn't going to kill me because I wanted to die.

He talked to my everyday, making sure I was still alive. He didn't live me alone for almost four months. Always showing up at my door at 3 PM, making sure I had ate and that I hadn't done anything to myself. And I couldn't. Because he was acting like an over protective brother and even if I wanted to put glamour charms up, he would easily take them down.

After a month of him watching over me, he sent me to a psychiatrist. She pretty much forced me to talk to her and after a few months of seeing her, and talking to her everyday about what was bugging me, I finally felt a little bit better, a little bit free of my hate.

For the next year and a half, I working on getting better and getting rid of my self hate. When I was rid of it, I went home. Just to say hi. I wasn't going to move back in but I just wanted to let them know I was still alive. I knocked hesitantly on the door three times and I was chickening out. I turned away and was walking down the sidewalk when I heard the door open and a 'Hello?' sounded. I stood stock stiff and turned away a little bit.

"Hi." I said simply.

"Do we know you?" He couldn't see my face, since my face was titled to the ground and he couldn't even assume it was me when my hair was dyed a blackish color.

"Yes..." I trailed off. "But it doesn't matter. I'll just be going now." I went to turn around and was stopped by a second voice. A feminine voice.

"It can't be..." They trailed off.

It was silent for a few seconds before my name was sounded through the empty place.

"Ginny?" My mom asked. I lifted my head and turned around and stared into the eyes of my mom and brother, Charlie.

"Hi mum. Hi Charlie." I said, lifting my hand in a little wave before dropping it when I noticed their expressionless faces. I went to turn around for the third time when a pair of arms wrapped around my waist and lifted my in the air and someone's face was in my neck.

Their body shook very noticeably with sobs and I stroked the top of Charlie's head. I heard my mum go inside and start yelling. "Arthur! Bill! Fleur! Percy! George! Ginny's returned!" The last sentence was said with a happiness in her voice and she sobbed. I heard multiple sets of feet race onto the porch before stopping.

Then I was engulfed into a huge group hug.

There was a lot of tears that day. And my family didn't like my black hair so with a wave of the wand, my hair was turned back to my natural color.

They assured me that they knew it was something my teenager self did and that they didn't hate me. They were just disappointed in me. I'm not surprised that they were. All my problems started because I just wanted to be loved and to love someone and I was selfish in my ways of trying to achieve it. I'm disappointed in myself too.

But they were still very heart broken when no one could find me.

And then after everyone knew I was back, Harry told me he didn't hate me but he couldn't forget it, Hermione just smiled a sad smile in my direction, Draco didn't acknowledge me at all, and Ron was just overwhelmed with joy. I mean, he had his sister back. His only sister.

Then Draco actually talked to me, because I was really upset that Ron was in the hospital and we hung out and got to know each other better until one day, he asked me out. He knew what I did with Harry and he still wanted to go out with me! I was surprised but of course I said yes. I did fancy him a bit.

Then we officially started dating. I'd never been happier.

And we told the family, they seemed happy for us and I was genuinely surprised to say the least.

Little did I know that some relationships, including ours, would be put to the test within a matter of months.

So this is chapter fourteen. I'm already working on chapter 15 and 16 as of now. I wrote this on July 25th. So I hoped you enjoyed this chapter and the bit of shenanigans that they got into this chapter.

Hopefully the explanation of what Ginny did explained a bit. She just wanted to be loved and her teenager instincts caused her to go through a lot of pain and it lost her a lot of trust and friends. Ugh. Crappy Explanation. Again, thank you all for the reviews! Sorry that the explanation is a little choppy but otherwise, please don't hate on me and tell me it was god awful and horrible. I know it is already!

This was also probably crap but still. You should favorite, follow, and/or review on this story.

I"ll see you guys in four days with a new update! Byeeeee.
