I'm so so so so so so so so sorry I haven't updated in so long. I'm also really sorry about how awful this chapter is, it's incredibly short and also boring and badly written and generally rubbish, so prepare to be disappointed. I've just been so busy revising and have had no chance to write, but now I have finished my exams (yay!) and can write again. So bear with me and hopefully better chapters will be along soon. Thank you for all the lovely reviews, they make me smile lots :) Please let me know what you think, and sorry again for being so rubbish :)

Ginny was woken early by on over excited Teddy clambering onto her and Harry's bed.

"Is it time to get up?" he whispered.

Ginny groaned and rubbed her eyes.

"Teddy it's 6:30, we can't go to Saint Mungo's yet. Go back to bed for an hour, then we can get ready to go." She told him; stroking his hair, which he'd now grown to his shoulders and turned bright ginger, attempting to mimic his uncle Bill.

"Okay." He sighed miserably; sliding off the bed and stumbling dejectedly back to his bedroom.

"Do you think it will upset him, seeing her and then having to leave her again?" Harry questioned, rolling over to look at Ginny, who was lay on her back, resting her hands on her huge stomach.

"Maybe, but we'll take him as often as we can. I think he'll be fine, anyway it's Christmas soon." She sighed.

She rolled over, attempting to fall back to sleep but she was too restless and after a few minutes she swung herself off the bed and padded downstairs, she sipped a cup of tea as she stared out of the kitchen window over their small, slightly over grown garden. The fog hung low over it, meaning the shed in which their brooms and quidditch equipment were stored was obscured from view. Ginny missed playing quidditch, though she didn't regret leaving. It would have been too hard to keep up training whilst looking after James. Plus she was enjoying writing her articles for The Daily Prophet; it meant she had an excuse to listen to quidditch matches. She'd still be able to play with Harry and the children anyway.

A loud scraping noise at the window made her jump; a large, brown barn own was tapping on the glass. She pulled it open and the bird flew inside and hopped onto the table, holding its leg out to her dutifully. Slowly Ginny untied the parchment attached to its leg and unfolded it as the owl took off again through the window. She began to read

Hi,

Just letting you know, I've got the job at Hogwarts!

I am beginning in January as new Herbology teacher. Thank you for the encouragement you both gave me. I would like to invite you all round for tea in celebration.

Is tonight at 6 o clock okay?

Let me know ASAP

Neville.

Ginny smiled to herself grabbing a clean piece of parchment and scrawling.

Congratulation! We knew you could do it.

6 o clock tonight is fine, thank you for the invite, see you later.

An hour and a half later Ginny was strapping James into his car seat. Teddy sat beside him, kicking his legs excitedly. He spent the whole journey babbling excitedly and jumped out the car as soon as they stopped. The waiting room of St Mungos was almost empty, apart from a wizard who seemed to have grown hooves and was unable to stop galloping around the room.

"We've come to visit Andromeda Tonks." Ginny informed the healer sat behind the desk.

"Okay, if you'd like to follow me. She'll be glad to see you." Smiled the healer.

Harry stepped after her, hauling James onto his hip, followed by Ginny and an over excited Teddy.

As soon as the healer had pulled the heavy ward door open Teddy sprinted inside. He ran straight to Andromeda's bed. She smiled down at him, looking gaunt and haggard.

"Hello Teddy." She smiled tearfully.

"Nanny!" Teddy grinned, clambering onto her bed. "When are you coming home?"

"Soon I hope. I've missed you so much! What on earth have you done to your hair?" She questioned, running a hand through Teddy's long ginger locks.

"I look like Bill." Teddy laughed.

"Thank you so much." She smiled to Ginny and Harry "how has he been?"

An hour later Ginny had to drag a tearful Teddy away.

"I don't want to go." Teddy sniffled.

"Come on Teddy, we have to go now. Andromeda needs to sleep. We'll come again soon, I promise." Ginny reasoned, taking his hand.

"Please can't we stay?" Teddy whispered.

"Come on Teddy. We're going to see Neville tonight. Then we can come back tomorrow." Harry sighed. Slowly they made their way down the stairs, through the waiting room and back to the busy muggle street outside, Teddy still sniffling.

Please don't kill me for the awfulness...
