When Harry first met the Weasleys he thought that he would get used to the chaos that always followed on Christmasses and other family events but when he felt himself being shaken awake on Christmas morning and the door slamming open as Ron and Hermione barrelled in with their stockings he realised that it really wasn't the case. He sighed slightly and cracked open his eyes to see Ginny shoving his glasses on with a huge grin on her face.
"Come on sleepyhead. There are presents!" She yelled before lunging for the edge of the bed, bringing back two overstuffed stockings.
Harry resigned to his fate and sat up in bed to see Ron and Hermione sink onto the end. Harry watched Ginny tear into the first gift (her notorious Weasley Jumper) and pulled the green coloured jumper on immediately. He saw Hermione and Ron follow suit and to his surprise pull out matching maroon coloured jumpers each emblazoned with their initials. Harry pulled out his own lumpy package to see a golden H on a red jumper. Harry pulled it on and began making his way down. Most of the gifts were what he expected. A book from Hermione, A small box of chocolate frogs from Ron, A rather odd-looking flower from Neville and Luna which was meant to ward off Nargles and a large box of Wizard Wheezes from George. At the bottom of the stocking was a small box- almost a watch box and Harry couldn't help but be surprised. He hadn't mentioned it but he had lost his watch a few days ago after taking a shower so when he opened the present to reveal his watch with the only difference being its polish and an additional knob on the side. He raised his eyebrows at Ginny who just nodded encouragingly and he replaced it on his wrist. Tentatively he twisted the dial and the clock dial sank away and a miniature version of the Weasley clock materialised. It had the Weasleys on it as well as Teddy and Hermione. At the moment everyone was pointed at home (except for Teddy who was pointed at 'Andromeda's'.) Be twisted the knob again and the clock face reappeared. Before he could turn around and start expressing his thanks he heard Ginny gasp beside him and the metal heart on his wrist suddenly started beating faster. Turning round in fear that he had done something wrong he saw her face light up with a grin.
He knew what she was smiling at as he had spent hours with Slughorn organising it after promising that he'd start attending the get-togethers and that he would name drop Slughorn if he ever wrote a book to get them in contact. Then another few hours of discussion with the Harpies and validation of how good she was, how long she had been playing and how good his word was before they even considered.
"Harry is this real"
"As real as the promise I had to give Slughorn to write about him if I ever wrote a book" Ron who had been looking in amazement over Ginny's shoulder piped up
"Like you could fit the past eight years in a single book". Ginny reached in and pulled out a green quidditch jersey. It was covered in signatures from the current team and old team as well as a few messages. She laid it on the bed and took out the letter that had been placed on the top.
"Come on Ginny read it" Hermione demanded. This brought her to her senses and she began
'Dear Weasley, After your persistence of not only your boyfriend but the assurance of Mcgonagall and Slughorn I have concluded that I will be at the next Gryffindor match to test Mr Potter's word. If you're as good as mentioned I can easily see you joining us once you graduate. I have enclosed some of the expectations of training and the like if you're successful. I shall see you soon
Gwenog Jones
Captain of the Holyhead Harpies'
She placed the letter down with a very composed look on her face then dove at Harry. Almost knocking him off the bed. Harry wrapped his arms around her in response
"Thank you" Ginny murmured into his neck.
"It started with me asking for a signed Jersey. But I suppose if being famous for killing a mass murderer can finally be useful I'm glad it's for you" Harry responded. Ginny pulled away with a smile on her face
"That's the most sickening thing you've said for a while. You know that?"
"Yes, well I can be cheesy when I want to".
They eventually made their way downstairs to see Bill, Fleur and Charlie sitting by the fire with George having just joined them, all wearing their Weasley jumpers. Fleur and George had matching jumpers on with a different initial and Fleurs looked slightly too big for her but they seemed to be enjoying it somewhat. Harry began walking in when Hermione and Ginny both did an odd squeak and started whispering furiously
"Care to clue us in guys?" Ron asked slightly impatiently
"Do you notice anything odd about Fleur?" Hermione responded smugly
"No" Harry and Ron responded at the same time resulting in eye rolls and mutterings. However, they were interrupted by Bill clearing his throat the instant Percy appeared.
"Now that everyone's here we have- a special present for Mum and Dad" Fleur handed over two lumpy parcels to both Molly and Arthur. They ripped off the paper and Molly burst into tears. George lunged for the jumper to see what had caused Molly to take them both into a hug and he immediately exclaimed loudly
"Noooo!Really? We're going to be Uncles?"
"And an Aunt?" Ginny added. Fleur lifted off the baggy 'F' jumper to reveal a small and very Fleur-like baby bump.
"Oh look at that! How simply gorgeous" Molly gushed.
"How are you feeling dear?"
"I have been throwing up quite a bit which waz unuzual as we Veelas often have very eezy pregnancies. Ze baby iz very healthy though"
"Oh dear that's the Weasley in them I'm afraid. Girls are worse than boys though. I was twice as ill with Ginevra as I was with Ronald" She turned to Ginny and Hermione and exclaimed
"Runs in the blood I'm afraid"
Hermione went pale and Ginny nervously eyed Harry.
"Good job I've been producing baby toys then," George added before giving Fleur a hug
"Congratulations Son," Arthur said loudly then whispered "If you need to escape the hormones I suggest a shed. Just pop over. I spent hours with Frank and James when Lily and Alice were pregnant" He had not said this quiet enough as Molly smacked him and Harry's head shot up to meet him
"M-My Dad?". Arthur gulped then Continued
"Yes. Between the Order and the pregnancies, the boys didn't have a lot of time to escape for a little bit. Sirius would come too, I got the idea for the car from his motorbike"
Harry nodded solemnly then nudged Ginny's hand which was still tightly coiled around the letter. Taking the hint Ginny exclaimed
"Guess who is coming to watch me play in the next Quidditch game"
"Who?" George asked lazily
"Gwenog Jones. Captain of the Holyhead Harpies"
"Wait, What?" Molly asked confused
"How did you do that?" Charlie interrupted
"Well A. I'm pretty damn good at Quidditch, B. I have an amazing boyfriend and C. Old Sluggy is well connected"
"Wow." That was all Bill said in reply and the group was silent until Ginny and Hermione went to sit by Fleur and ask questions and Arthur beckoned Harry out into the still white garden. As they walked to the shed Arthur casually remarked
"I have a feeling this snows going to take some shifting"
"Yeh. Never known a Wheeze removed easily"
"Heavens no. The third floor still smells like gunpowder" Mr Weasley responded with a sad smile "It must have been some work to get ahold of Gwenog. She and the other Harpies are famous for minimal cooperation with the press and others"
"I had to do a few promises for Slughorn and had to do some cooperation with Gwenog but Gins worth it in more ways than one"
"That's good to hear, Harry. You're like my seventh son and I know both of you deserve to be happy" They walked into the shed and Arthur laid his hand on something shrouded in a blanket
"I thought you might want this back" he pulled it off to reveal Sirius' motorbike. All gleaming black looking as it had on those odd dreams before he knew magic was real. He walked up to Arthur and engulfed him in a hug
"Thanks, Arthur" He murmured before turning back to reinspect the polished alloys. He looked down at the engine cover to see four neat engravings-A wolf, A stag, A rat and A dog moving slightly. Arthur, seeing what he was looking at added
"I couldn't figure out what charm was used on it so I let them be" Harry nodded understandingly and caressed it gently before covering it back up.
"I might try and get a muggle licence for it. At least I'll be able to ride it properly" Harry stated then began to walk out with Arthur following him.
They walked into the Burrow to see a plentiful breakfast and Andromeda sobbing in an equally tearful Mrs Weasleys arms.
"What's going on?" Arthur asked loudly. Ginny was holding an intrigued Teddy and simply said
"I think everyone's been pretending too long". Arthur nodded and walked over to the two women to comfort them. Harry scanned the rest of the room to see George also in tears being comforted by none other than Fleur. Ron, Hermione and Percy were chatting quietly and Bill was looking at Teddy with fear in his eyes. Harry walked over and sat in the vacant chair between them.
"Hawwy!" Teddy cried and he scrambled into Harry's lap clumsily.
"Scared Bill?" Harry asked amused. He seemed terrified of the baby but it was probably a similar reaction to himself.
"Um-Ah No?"
"Do you want to hold him?" After Bill gave a nod Harry handed Teddy over and he quickly settled in his arms.
"Accio presents" Harry bellowed and three presents came flying down the stairs and stopped just in front of him. He picked the top present off and placed it to one side and handed the next one to Teddy who began to fling it enthusiastically. Harry told Bill to rearrange his arms and Bill replied
"I can't believe I'm getting baby advice from my baby sisters boyfriend"
Harry smiled in acknowledgement and when Teddy started to squirm Ginny took him back into her lap. Harry Grabbed the parcel off Teddy to 'help' him unwrap it. He pulled out a small stag toy with a red bow around its neck and handed it back to him causing him to squawk in happiness then began to chew on its ears. He then unwrapped the second and couldn't help but tear up when the bear-like dog came out. He accio'd his small wolf toy and levitated it in front of him as well as the two others.
"Teddy, This is Moonys friends, Padfoot and Prongs, they went everywhere with him on their adventures and one day I'll tell you all kinds of stories"
"Moo Moo!" Teddy cried before leaning forward and grabbing all three
"Good job buddy, Good job" Harry replied softly
"Meet the marauders"
George whipped his head around and his eyebrows shot up to his hairline
"The WHAT!"
I know I've done a load of Teddy chapters but I love the interaction between them. Some quidditch coming up as Ginny is nothing if not competitive.
