Hey everyone , sorry I've been gone , I don't know about you but my went weird for the last two days and wouldn't let me access my account or stories , but it's obviously working again now:) Hope you enjoy , just a little bit of family time this one , nothing particularly important but I enjoyed writing it.
"And what comes after that?" I heard Harry ask the toddler , sitting on his lap.
"10!" he called back, giggling away as he did so , playing with Harry's glasses. Teddy Lupin had come over for the week , a fact that had slipped Harry's mind. He had offered to look after him for the week , giving Andromeda a break , after all she was 60 years old. As well as this , though , Bill and Fleur had bought Victoire over for supper. I was sat on the sofa , cradling my 3 month old niece, she was beautiful. Her head had a thin layer of platinum blonde hair , she was the first Weasley not to be a ginger, and she had beautiful , big blue eyes. I gentle rocked her back and forth , surprised at how naturally it had come to me. I sat with her for almost an hour , until she began wailing , at which point I passed her back to her mother.
"Gin-gin " I heard Teddy squeal from Harry's lap " gin-gin!" he called again, and so I went to sit on the sofa with him , and read him a story from a nearby copy of The Tales of Beedle the Bard.
...
After we had finished dinner , Bill and Fleur headed home, promising to visit as soon as they could. And so me and Harry decided to take Teddy for a walk with Ron and Hermione. We found ourselves , after half an hour of walking , on the beach. We decided to take a picnic , so me and Hermione were currently sunbathing- yes , sunbathing in England- while the boys were paddling and playing with Teddy.
"Ginny?" Hermione said , turning over to face me as she did so. " I need to tell you something , but you have to promise you won't say anything to anyone"
" Oh merlin , you're pregnant aren't you?" She laughed at me , and shook her head.
" No , I just wanted to tell you that , well I'm moving out of my parents house , and I've bought an apartment!" My mouth dropped open , and I lowered my sunglasses.
" You and my brother are moving in together!"I exclaimed , but she hastily shook her head.
" Oh Merlin no , no I just meant that I'm buying my own apartment , in muggle London, I mean I know you and Harry live together , and that's great , but I'm still only 20, I'm not ready for that kind of commitment , not just yet." My face fell, obviously so, as she then came to put her arm around me.
" I love him Gin , but you know me, I don't want to settle down as soon as I'm out of education, I want to see the world, I want to go travelling, I want to work in the muggle world-" she was explaining to me , but before she could go on , I interrupted her.
" You want to what?" I asked dumbfounded, and so she repeated herself " why? What's wrong with your ministry law course thing at the moment?"
" Department for the Control and Regulation of Magical Creatures , actually. And there's nothing wrong with it , I love it, but , Ginny I am muggle-born. My parents and grandparents and aunties and uncles and cousins are all muggles, and as much as I love this world and you , and Harry and Ron and your family , I just want to experience what they have all experienced. Does that make sense?"
" I guess so." was all I said. Although to me it made no sense at all " Have you told him? Ron? I mean London is quite far from here"
" No yet , I will do soon though , don't worry. It doesn't really matter to be honest , It's got a fireplace so I can get that hooked up to the floo network and he can come over whenever he wants , and vice versa." I didn't respond , there was no need. And so she had laid back down now , soaking in as much as the sun as she could as it was such a rare event to get weather this stunning in England. I decided to join her , and so I put my glasses back down and slumped back down onto the towel. Time went by quickly , and before we knew it , it was getting chilly and the tide was coming in. We had spent the day swimming , sun bathing , building sandcastles with Teddy , burring Ron in the sand , much to the amusement of the toddler, and finally , eating a lovingly prepared picnic from my mum. I grasped hands with my boy , Teddy clinging onto the other , Ron and Hermione a little ahead of us. We couldn't apparate with Teddy , so we had to make the trek back home. It was little over half an hour before we got back , and the little one was spark out on Harry's shoulders, he took him up to mums room , a cot being placed there as she was ,obviously, the most experienced with children. We spent the rest of the evening playing exploding snap , during which I got splattered with a green sludge, and eating a superb meal. It was sad to think that in little over a week , me and Harry would be heading back to lonely old Wales , were the sun never shined.
