Molly Weasley was most surprised when she awoke with another letter from Harry and Ginny.
November 27
Dear Mum/Molly,
We are having a wonderful time in New York. We saw the Statue of Liberty and a wizarding museum! Before this we were in Salem, visiting an old witch burning site. Eric and Tierra are fine, and they can't wait to meet you! Tierra is with me right now, watching me write this letter.
"Ah yes," Molly said to herself, "Those new friends of Harry and Ginny."
Anyway, in two weeks we will be returning to England. Harry will be going a few days in advance in order to get the new house ready for Tierra and Eric. I believe that the new house is only two miles away from the Burrow, so you'll be able to come see us whenever! Gotta go.
XOXOXOXXOX
Love,
Harry and Ginny.
Molly reread the letter before putting it up on the mantelpiece with the four other letters she had received, including the one that was ruined by the rain. Molly stood back and admired the letters before starting to make breakfast. She had just put some sausages on the stove, when she heard a knock at the door.
"One moment!" She called. She walked to the door and opened it. Ron and his fiancée, Hermione, were standing there.
"Hello mum," Ron said, giving her a short hug. "We just thought we would come for a visit this morning."
"It's nice to see you two," Molly said. "Why don't you come have breakfast with us?"
"We'd like that," Hermione said.
"Arthur! Breakfast!" Called Molly. After all four of them were seated, and started eating, Molly told them that Harry and Ginny were coming back in two weeks.
"Really?" Ron said, through a mouthful of eggs. "Did he write you?"
"Yes, I got a letter just this morning." Molly went over to the mantelpiece and got the letter.
"Um… mom."
"Yes dear?"
"This was dated a week and a half ago," Ron said, pointing to the date.
"You're right!" Molly exclaimed. "That means that Harry will be returning soon, maybe even today!"
"He got a new house?" Hermione asked, reading over Ron's shoulder.
"I guess so," Molly said. "Funny, he never mentioned it in his other letters."
"He never told us."
"I thought that the apartment would be fine for a couple like them."
"Maybe they want to get a permanent home," Hermione said.
"Maybe."
All of a sudden another owl flew into the room. It was from Harry.
Dear Molly and Arthur,
I just arrived in England! Would it be all right if I stopped by later tonight? That way I can tell you more about Eric and Tierra-
"Who?" Asked Hermione.
"They're Ginny and Harry's new friends," Molly said. "I don't know where they met them though."
Ginny misses you, and I'm going to return to New York tomorrow so I can get her. Hope to see you soon!
Harry
"He's here!" Squealed Hermione happily. "I can't wait to see him!"
"Well, you can come over to see him tonight," Molly said. "Oh my, I must clean up the house!" She bustled away, waving her wand here and there, making all of the dust fly up the chimney and out of the house.
At around seven that evening there was a knock at the door. Ron, who had jumped up and ran to the door, pulled it open.
Standing there was a tall man, with dark, black hair and glasses.
"Harry!" Ron said, giving Harry a hug, which Harry returned. "How've you been?"
"I've been good," Harry said. "I got your letter! Getting married soon?"
"Not that soon," Ron said. "Come in." After being hugged by everyone else in the room, Harry sat down and started to tell the Weasleys about his and Ginny's travels.
After almost thirty minutes of talking, Molly asked about Tierra and Eric.
"So, tell us about your friends, Tierra and Eric." Mrs. Weasley said, sipping some tea. "Where are they from?"
Harry was staring at her.
"Didn't you get our letter?" Harry asked.
"Which one? We have five," Arthur said, pointing up at the mantel.
"Five! We sent sixteen!" Harry exclaimed. "Which ones did you get?"
"Go look." Harry looked up at the letters and read a few of them.
"You don't know," Harry finally whispered.
"Don't know what dear?" Molly asked.
"Er… Ginny and I will tell you after I go get her," Harry said. He glanced at his watch. "Oh, I have to go," He said. "I promised Ginny that I would return to New York before 8:30. I'm sorry to hurry away."
"Sure, don't worry about it," Arthur said, looking a little startled. "We'll see you in three days or so?"
"Yeah, three days." Harry said. "Bye." He Disapparated.
He appeared at their new house a split second later. It looked small on the outside, with a brick path and an enormous garden, but on the inside there were perhaps hundreds of rooms. Harry had chosen the house because it reminded him of Merlin's castle, for it had numerous amounts of stained glass. Harry had already gotten furniture to fill almost the whole house. Harry went over to the fireplace and lit a fire. He made it so the fire would go out approximately after he left. He pulled out a small bag of Floo Powder and threw it into the fire.
"Witch's Eye Hotel, room 260!" Harry called as he stepped into the fire. He was immediately transported to a lush hotel room, where Ginny was waiting for him.
"You're back," Ginny said, throwing her arms around his neck and kissing him on the lips.
"I missed you," Harry said against Ginny's lips.
"I missed you too," Ginny said. Harry pulled away from the kiss after a moment.
"There's something I need to tell you," Harry said.
"Is something wrong with the family?" Ginny asked.
"No, nothing's wrong. They just didn't get all of our letters," Harry replied. Ginny stepped away.
"What?" Ginny gasped. "Which letters did they get."
"Not the ones that explained about Eric and Tierra," Harry said, "They think that they're our friends that we met when we were traveling."
"Oh my god."
"Oh my god is right," Harry said, running his hands through his messy hair. "What are we going to tell them?"
"I don't know," Ginny said, sitting down and putting her head in her hands. "I just don't know."
"One of us could just go see them first and go tell them, so they know what to expect," Harry said.
"That could work." Ginny replied.
"Well, it's certainly better than the element of surprise," Harry said. "Where is Tierra and Eric?"
"They're in bed," Ginny said.
"I'm going to go see them," Harry said. He walked slowly into Tierra and Eric's room, and up to where Eric was peacefully sleeping. He leaned over and kissed Eric lightly on the cheek before going over to Tierra's bed. He kissed her on the forehead, and said, "I love you." He then walked out of the room and back over to where Ginny was sitting.
"How were they while I was gone?" Harry asked.
"Like angels," Ginny replied, leaning against Harry's shoulder. "I've decided, I'm going to tell my family when we go back."
"All right…"
"I still can't believe that they didn't get our letters," Ginny said. "I'm writing a complaint to the hotels that we stayed in to say that their owls didn't work."
"Mhmm," Harry murmured.
"Well, we'd better get to sleep," Ginny yawned. "Maybe if we get packed fast we can go home early."
"Yep," Harry said.
"Ginny!" Molly exclaimed. "You're home early!"
"I couldn't wait another day," Ginny said, pulling her mother into a hug. "How've you been?"
"I've been good dear," Molly replied. "Ron and Hermione are here too, in the kitchen. They can't wait to meet your friends.
"Right," Ginny said slowly. "Mom, about Eric and Tierra, they're… well, maybe we should go into the kitchen." After greeting everyone in the small kitchen, Ginny had everyone sit down.
"I know you can't wait to meet Eric and Tierra," Ginny said. "But you see, there's something I need to tell you about them before you meet them."
"All right," Arthur said. "What is it hon?"
"Eric and Tierra aren't our friends, they're our children."
"How'd they take it?" Harry asked, he was waiting outside with Eric and Tierra in his arms.
"Mum's still out cold," Ginny said, taking Eric. "But everyone else really wants to meet them."
"You go in first," Ginny said. Harry took a deep breath and pulled open the door. Ron and Hermione reached him first.
"Oh my goodness, she is adorable," Hermione said. "Hello Tierra." Tierra yawned.
"Awww…"
Gin brought Eric next.
After nearly ten minutes of oohing and ahhing over Eric and Tierra, Molly Weasley regained consciousness.
"Can I hold them?" She said, still lying on the couch where Arthur had carried her too.
With them in her arms, Molly said, "I can't believe that I'm a grandmother."
"Er… mom, you do know that Bill has a child, right?" Ron said.
"Yes, yes, but I still can't believe it."
"We were so sad when you didn't come to see me deliver them," Ginny said. "We invited you, but you must not have gotten the letter."
"They're so beautiful," Molly said. "Does James know?"
"Yes, we stopped by Dad's house before we came here."
Harry now turned to Ron and Hermione. "I hope you two don't mind, but can you be godparents?"
"Of course," Ron said. "Of course we will be." Harry smiled and then sat down beside Ginny again.
It was nearly eleven when Harry and Ginny decided that they had to go to their house.
"We'll come back tomorrow," Harry said. "So all of the Weasleys can meet them."
"We'd like that," Molly said. "See you tomorrow."
"Bye! See you soon!" Ginny called. And she, Harry, Eric and Tierra disappeared.
