I DO NOT OWN HARRY POTTER. Here is the list or code names: Phoenix/Harry, Eagle/Draco, Owl/Hermoine, Robin/Ginny, Cardinal/Ron I haven't gotten a response on the pairing for Draco yet.



Day Before



"Mr. Weasly, My father was a death eater. He was killed because he couldn't do what Voldermort wanted him to. That is why I am a double agent for the order."

"You are also a death eater?"

"They think I am." Draco said as he disappeared.

They had intended to tell her parents the night Hermoine arrived at The Burrow. That had failed. They had tried to tell them when sitting at breakfast the next mourning. They failed again. They tried a full 17 times since Harry arrived. Something always went wrong. They got interrupted, or tong tied, or one of the others calling them for a mission. They were just glad that their missions didn't fail as often as they did. Finally they decided that they would tell them no matter what. It was the last night of summer vacation. Ginny had never kept a secret from her mother for more than a few days before. She had to tell them. Or rather she had to force Harry to tell them. They decided that maybe it would be easier if it was just her parents, and maybe Ron and Hermoine present. Finally, on the last day before school, only the seventh years, Ginny, and Ginny's parents were home. They were all at the dinner table, just starting desert.

"Harry, you look like you have got a lot on your mind, what's up?" Mrs. Weasly asked, worried. She always had treated him as a son. And he had just amazed at the opportunity she had given him.

"Not worried, just nervous." He responded.

"Whatever for? Seventh year is nothing to worry about. Sure you will have to decide what you want to do for the rest of your life, but there really is no need to be nervous about it." She assured him.

"It's not that, it's just, well. . . I have been trying to find a time to say something for a while, and now is just as good a time as ever." He hesitated before continuing.

"Ginny and I have been going out for almost a year. We were looking for a time to tell you together, but something always came up. We are sorry for keeping this from you for so long." He said. He appeared calm, but he was as nervous as it was possible to get.

Mr. and Mrs. Weasly looked around the table. They realized that they were the only people there that had not known this. They were a little shocked, but they didn't mind the fact that they were seeing each other.

"Congratulations Harry, must of took at lot to get that out." Mr. Weasly responded.

"Oh, I'm so happy for you two!" Mrs. Weasly said joyously.

"I'm so glad you finally did that!" Ron said. He looked at Hermoine, who just nodded at him."

"Now is as good a time as any." She said.

Everyone just looked at Hermoine. No one had any idea what she was talking about. Hermoine sat motionless for a moment before smiling and putting her hand on the table. The sound of jaws dropping could be heard for miles.

"Oh my." Mrs. Weasly said. Mr. Weasly could only smile.

Harry pretended to be hurt. "You didn't tell me?" Then he smiled, "Just kidding, congratulations!"

Ginny, not taking her eyes off of the ring on Hermoine's hand, "Well Ron, you finally did it. You beat Fred and George at something."







AN: In the event that anyone doesn't understand what is going on, Hermoine and Ron are engaged to be married. Sorry for how long this took to get up, it was crunch time for school projects, and studying. Will try to get at least one more update on this before Christmas, and another before New Year. This will be a short fic, so after that there will probably only be one or two chapters added in early January 2002.
