CHAPTER 2

DISCLAIMER - I do not own the characters used in this fic, they all belong to J.K. Rowling.

A/N: Guess whos back, back again, Tara's Back, tell a friend. My computer was stuffing up so I couldn't update for like two months, but I am back...MWAH HA HA HA HA HA HA. I hope you like this fic so far, and I am sorry if it gets confusing, but with any luck it will all makes sense. They all hate each other, some reasons are obvious, but all will be revealed in the end. And I just have to say, It is kind of weird that they are all talking to their dad at the end of this one, but I thought it was sweet.

*************************************************

Ginny stood on the cliff edge, the salty sea air wipping her wild red hair around her face. She sighed, and wiped yet another tear off of her cheek.

"He loved this spot you know...my father, he would come here all the time" Ginny said when she sensed that some one else was on the cliff with her, Draco took a step closer and wrapped his arms around her small waist.

"That is why you suggested we come here right...to be with him?" Draco asked, Ginny nodded, leaning back into Draco's embrace.

"Do you think the others will come?" Ginny whispered, looking out over the waves that were breaking at the base of the cliff.

"Well, I am not sure...you haven't spoken to your brothers in years, but at least you invited them, they know that you want to make up with them" Draco reminded.

"I know, but at this time, i want my brothers, i want my family back" Ginny whispered, more tears running down her cheeks. Molly Weasley had died ten years earlier, that was one of the reasons why the children had begun to fight. It seemed that she was the glue that held the family together. The fighting was bad, and they were fighting for what seemed like the pettiest reasons some times.

"Hey, i think they will come, at least Ron right...you didn't fight so bad with him" Draco reminded.

"Yes I did, he hated me for going out with you, remember" She told him, he nodded.

"At least one will come though...I can feel it" Draco promised. Ginny smiled.

They stood in silence for a couple of minutes, Draco just holding Ginny in his arms.

"Aunt Gin" the voice broke through the silence. Ginny turned abruptly to see her neice, Jet, running towards her.

"Oh, jet, Look at you, look at how grown up you are" Ginny smiled at she embraced her neice. Jet smiled.

"It is so good to see you again aunt Gin, it has been to long...hello uncle Draco" Jet smiled, Draco nodded, just a little surprised. The family hated him for taking Ginny away from them, he never expected to be accepted, and he never expected to be referred to as an uncle.

"Is...Is charlie coming?" Ginny asked

"Yes, he is. He sent me along first so that I could defuse the wars" Jet joked softly, Ginny couldn't help but smile at Jet. Seventeen and so grown up...and so much like her mother, which then reminded Ginny of something.

"I am very sorry about your mother...We would have come to the funeral, but we were not sure if we were welcome" Ginny explained

"Of course you would be welcome..." Jet began, but was interupted when she realised Ginny was not listening, She was watching something in the distance.

"Charlie" She smiled as she ran to him. In just that split second, it was like all was forgotten between them.

"Look at you Ginny, you are so grown up" Charlie whispered, hugging his sister tight to his body for the first time in a decade.

"It has been to long Charlie...way to long" She whispered, he nodded. Together they moved back to where Jet and Draco were talking quietly. Charlie paused when he saw Draco.

They glared at each other, before Charlie extended his hand.

"Draco" He greeted

"Good to see you again Charlie" He replied.

"Have you heard from the others, are they coming?" Ginny asked desperately

"I haven't heard from the others in Ten years..." Charlie said sadly.

"But maybe, just maybe, they will come" Ginny whispered. Charlie just nodded. There was a pop behind them, and the group turned to the source of the sound.

George Weasley and Katie Bell stood together.

"Umm...hello" George began, not really sure what to say to the family he had left all that time agao.

But it seemed that words, at that point, were useless. Ginny had already thrown herself into Georges arms.

"It is good to see you again Gin" George smiled. Ginny pulled back to take a good look at her older brother. He was still the same George, his hair still firery red, his cheeks still dotted with frekles.

"Hello little brother" Charlie smiled, George embraced his brother, but they were still hesitant. There was still something, an unspoken something between them.

"You remember Katie Bell dont you?" George asked. Katie stepped forward. She hugged Ginny.

"I am sorry we were brought together under such sad circumstances" Katie told her, Ginny smiled and nodded.

"Malfoy" the girls heard them growl, both of them turned to him as George had spotted Draco, who was still talking to Jet. Katie took his arm.

"George please, dont, we are here to say good bye to our father...dont fight with him" Ginny begged. George looked at Ginny, and then relaxed.

"Ok....So, is any one else going to be here? Is Fred coming?" George asked, a slight edge to his voice. the others looked at each other, none of them really knew.

"You still have no faith in me...even after all of these years" Freds voice sounded after a small pop. the group turned to him. "Of course I would be here, you really think I would give up the opportunity to say good bye to my father?"

"Please dont" Ginny whispered. Fred dragged his eyes away from George and focused on his sister.

"Ginny" He sighed and hugged her. As they were hugging, Fred was looking over her shoulder.

"Still married to that rt?" Fred asked, Ginny nodded.

"Well, I guess i am sorry for you" Fred whispered, Ginny hit him on the arm. He moved to shake Charlies hand.

"Good to see you again" Charlie smiled softly. Fred nodded, and turned to George. They glared at each other and then moved away. There was another pop, and Penelope joined the group. She looked around a little, and then smiled.

"Hello" She began, the others smiled civially at her, but she just went to join Jet and Draco and Katie, realising this was a time for just the family.

"Can...can you believe that dad is gone?" Ginny asked

"No, i cant...i wish I had spent more time with him over the last few years" Charlie said, the others nodded.

Another pop sounded and the Weasleys turned. Bill stumbled towards the group.

"Family" Bill greeted. Ginny and Charle exchanged glances. Bill was obviously drunk.

"Bill...are you drunk?" Charlie asked, Bill nodded.

"Just something to keep the pain out" Bill told them. Fred and George both shook their head at their older brother, then, after realising they were doing something the same, the both stopped.

"Well, it is good to see you" Ginny told Bill.

"Gin...Ginny, you look so much like mum" Bill began, Ginny nodded and wiped her eyes again, fresh tears lining her eyes.

The Weasleys stood in silence for a few minutes, just thinking of the weight of their intoxicated brothers words. He may not have been in the right state of mind, but Bill was telling the truth. Ginny had grown into a beautiful young woman who was very much the image of her mother.

The waves continued to crash against the cliff below them, but it did not drown out the sound of some one approaching from behind. They all turned to the sound, and gasped at what they had saw.

A weak and tired Percy Weasley, leaning most of his weight on Oliver, made his way to the group of Weasleys.

"Hello" Percy began softly, Ginny almost cried just at the sight of her brother. He was no longer the man he had been ten years before. Now he was frail and old looking...and although it hurt Ginny to admit it, even to herself, he looked as though he was close to death himself. She threw herself into his arms, Percy smiled.

"I missed you to Ginny" Persy whispered, she smiled as he laughed lightly. The breasy sound racking through his body, making him seem so much weaker than what he was.

"I love you Percy" Ginny told him. She didn't know why, she had not told any of her brothers that she loved them in a very long time, but seeing him now, being supported by Oliver, so frail and dependant made her want to tell him. Just to make sure that he knew.

"I love you to Gin" He replied. "You all remember Oliver?"

Charlie and Bill nodded, Fred and George rushed forward to shake the ex- captians hand.

"What the hell happened to you Percy?" Bill asked...Percy looked towards Oliver and then turned back to his family. Just as he opened his mouth to speak, laughter filled the air.

The laughter of a little girl, the giggles of a girl who had no troubles.

Then suddenly, a little girl with bright red hair came running to the cliff top.

"Who's that?" Charlie asked, The others just shook their heads and shrugged.

"Oh wow...are you all Weasleys?" The little girl asked. Ginny smiled at her brothers and then kneeled to the little girls level.

"Yes we are...are you a Weasley?" Ginny asked, the little girl nodded. Then something caugh her eye, she pointed at Fred and George.

"Are you two aware that you are each other?" The little girl asked, and all of the Weasleys laughed, for the first time in ten years, they had laughed when they were all together.

"Who is your mummy and Daddy?" Ginny asked, but the girl didn't have to answer...

"Tabitha Weasley...you come back here" The voice carried on the wind, and the others all knew it could only be one person.

Ron came into view over the small rise to the cliff top.

"That's my Daddy" The little girl, named Tabitha explained and waited for her brother to approach the group.

"Hello" Ron said, looking at his feet. He got a few replies. But most were once again watching the space that Ron had emerged from.

Hermione was struggling her way up, trying to walk as fast as she could with her overly pregnant stomach. Ron rushed back to help her.

"Did any one know she was pregnant?" Charlie asked

"Did any one know they already had a daughter?" Fred added.

"Hell, did any one even know that they were married?" George concluded.

No body answered the questions, because none of them were proud of the answer. They didn't even know that their brother had a family.

"Well, we are all here" Ginny smiled at her brothers.

"Are we going to say anything?" Charlie asked

"Yes..." Ginny began and moved to the cliffside "Maybe we should all say something"

Ginny smiled as Fred moved up beside her, and then Ron. Soon, all Weasleys were standing along the side, looking out over the ocean.

"Do you remember Dad's obsession with muggle things?" Fred began when no one else spoke.

"Plugs" They all laughed.

"And how he would hassle any muggle who would talk to him" George added.

"Yeah" Charlie smiled.

"Well...I am going to miss him so much...I didn't realise how much i would miss him until now" Bill said, slightly sobering. He stood silently for a couple of seconds, and then turned tomove away.

"I am going to miss you to Dad" Charles whispered " I wish I had taken the time to get to know you better. I will miss you" Charlie also moved away from the cliff.

"I already miss you...I have for a while, and I will always love you and never forget you Dad" George said and took a step back.

"You taught us boys alot Dad, I now know the evil of veelas...and I only have one wish out of my life dad, and that is to be good father, as good as you were to us...George and I were not always angels...but you loved us anyway, and we loved you reguardless...thank you for loving us" Fred smiled through his tears, and then moved to embrace Penelope.

"My biggest regret is the fact that you never met the new baby...I know you loved Tabitha and she loved you to, I wish you could have been here to see my new kid. I love you dad, and like Fred said, I wish I can be as good a father as you were." Ron smiled, and then moved off. Tabby ran into his arms, and it was only then, in the arms of his daughter, that he let himself cry.

"I wish I had got to know you better dad. I know i was never one of the boys, and we didn't spend as much time together as what you spent with the boys. But I know that you loved me, because I loved you to...and you accepted me for what i was, a girl. You always called me your little princess, and I liked that. I love you Daddy, and i will miss you..." Ginny whispered. Percy ran his hand over his little sisters hair, and Then Draco came to get her, holding her in his arms.

Soon, only Percy stood, overlooking the ocean.

"Well, Dad...I guess i will see you soon" Was all Percy had to say before moving back to the group.

"So...what now?" Ron asked

"We have to clean out the Burrow" Ginny told the boys, they all nodded.

"Then...I guess...Lets go home" Charlie said.

Within seconds, the adults had all apparated out, leaving Hermione, Ron and Tabby on the cliff.

After one last backwards glance, they left.

Only the sound of the waves broke the silence.
