When Things Go Slightly Wrong

Chapter 37: For the Love of Michelle

James Potter had invited his newest and most serious girlfriend to eat dinner with his family, along with her mother. Naturally, Ginny Potter wanted information.

"How long have you been dating her now?" she asked her eldest son as she took the turkey out of the oven.

"About a year, Mum."

"And why haven't I met her yet?" Ginny questioned further, tousling her son's hair.

"Because I'm afraid that if I bring her over, Dad or Albus will say something stupid and turn things… interesting," James confessed, eyeing the archway into the living room, where the two women would be Apparating.

"Don't worry, I've trained them to not act like wild boars just for you tonight," Ginny assured James. "Now, what did you say her last name was?"

James opened his mouth to answer her, but a pop! could be heard through the archway, and he and his mother dashed to meet Michelle's family.

"Potter?" they both heard before they were halfway across the dining room. "You didn't tell me you were dating the Potters' son."

Cho Chang stepped into the doorway, an elbow linked with her daughter's. She and Ginny made eye contact.

Ginny turned her gaze to her son's, silently imparting Oh, yes, things will get very interesting indeed.
