Chapter 26
The walk up from the apparation point to The Burrow, was a long one for Isis and Fred. Telling her father was easy then expected, but they were both still concerned how Molly would react.
She had a complete fit when she found out Ginny was pregnant with Sirius' baby before being of age. But Ginny is her daughter and Isis is not, though Fred is her son. There was just no telling how Molly would react to the news.
When they reached the house, Fred knocked on the door. Surprisingly the person to answer it was Fred's brother, Charlie.
"Aren't you supposed to be in Romania taming dragons?" Fred asked giving his brother a hug. After all the marriage business was over Charlie had returned home to Romania and no one had seen him since he left.
"A new dragon habitat is starting not that far from here and they asked me to be the over seer. So I'm moving back." Charlie said with a big smile. "Hi, Isis." he said giving her a quick hug.
Deciding to be nice, Isis gave him a hug back. She really was beginning to calm down with the whole hugging thing. The Weasley's do it so much it is something that she just has to get use to. "Hi, Charlie." she said.
"What are you guys doing here?" Charlie asked, letting them in the house and closing the door behind them.
"Oh, we need to talk to mom and dad." Fred said grabbing Isis' hand.
"I think they're in the kitchen." Charlie said. He then walked upstairs, leaving Fred and Isis standing alone in the family room.
Fred and Isis walked into the kitchen and found Molly cooking something and Arthur reading the Daily Prophet at the table.
"Well Hello." Molly said hugging Fred then Isis when she noticed them in the room.
"Hi, Mom, Dad. We need to talk to you about something." Fred said pulling a chair out. He gently forced his mom into the chair before pulling out another one and forcing Isis into it. Finally he sat down in another chair next to Isis and grabbed her hand.
"What is it, dear?" asked Molly, grabbing Isis' other hand.
Isis looked to Fred. He gave her a small smile then said, "You see….. Isis is….. Pregnant."
Isis smirked at him. "It's not easy is it." Fred just glared at her.
Fred looked to his mother in concern since she hadn't said anything yet. He was surprised to see a smile on her face. She gave a small laugh then said, "I hope your child is just as troublesome as you and your brother were."
"Oh please don't tell me they were horrid." Isis whined.
"I'm sorry Isis, dear, but they were horrid. They were always into everything. Oh and they screamed so much." Molly sighed. "I was so happy when I was able to send them off to Hogwarts. I was hoping they could straighten them out there, but as you can see that didn't work very well."
"Oh mum." Fred groaned.
Isis laughed. "So your okay with this?"
"Oh yes dear." Molly leaned over close to Isis and whispered in her ear, "Don't tell Fred I said this but he will make a great father."
Isis smiled at Molly and said, "I won't."
"Would you two like to stay for dinner?" Arthur asked, speaking for the first time.
"Oh no, dad. We should be getting home." Fred gently pulled Isis up and led her out of the house.
When Fred and Isis got back home Isis said, "I'm surprised but your mom actually seemed happy."
"I'm not too surprised. She want's grandchildren. She just doesn't want Sirius to be the father of one of those grandchildren." Fred took Isis' cloak and hanged it up for her.
"That reminds me. We should have Ginny and Sirius over for dinner one night this week." Isis had walked into the parlor and was settling herself down to read a book.
"Maybe if we do that we should just invite everyone else also." Fred answered sitting down beside her.
"Who did you have in mind?" Isis asked turning to face Fred.
"Just friends, people we haven't told yet." Isis looked at him with her eyebrows raised. "What? Do you want me to name everyone off?"
"Yes please." she said giving him her best smile.
"Okay, well Sirius and Ginny, like you said. Um, George, Angelina, Charlie, Lisa, Draco, Luna, Harry, Parvati, Percy, Sally-Anne, Lee, Alicia, Blaise, Cho, Ron, and Lavender?" Fred asked,
"That sounds good." Isis stood up from the chair. "Well today has been a long day. I think I might go to bed."
"I'll be up soon." Fred said, grabbing a book off the shelf. Isis walked over to him and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek and then went up stairs.
Reviews would be absolutely amazing! :)
From what I can tell, this story should be over pretty soon. Not sure how soon but soon.
Thanks
