Disclaimer: I don't own Harry potter or the characters, just my original characters that will show up in this story. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~* Chapter 22

The Weasley family had all gathered at the Burrow around Thanksgiving, talking or planning out the dinner plans. Bill and Charlie were over and were arguing with Fred and George about Quidditch while Harry and Ron played a game of chess while discussing their training plans.

"And I'll work on the turkey!" said Mrs. Weasley brightly. "Having the whole family home for thanksgiving will be brilliant. I even think Grandma and grandpa Weasley will be coming." She said and Ginny looked up from her list.

"Grandma and Grandpa Weasley. Do they even remember where the Burrow is?" she asked sarcastically, due to the fact that her grandparents had very bad memories. They probably still thought She and Ron were in Hogwarts.

"Well I did send Errol with a letter. but maybe that was a bad idea?" she asked, then their attention turned to Angelina, who had been quiet, the entire time. "Angelina, is there anything you'd like to tell us?" she asked.

"Aside from the fact my marriage may be over. No." she answered miserably.

"You and Fred have been arguing?" Ginny asked, and Mrs. Weasley automatically went into the whole story about having another child and Fred and Angelina's disagreement Angelina groaned and buried her face into her arms.

"I don't know WHY he wants another child so soon!" she muttered angrily. "He has a hard enough time trying to keep up with Jackie at the park!" Hermione shook her head thoughtfully and pointed her wand in the direction of the twins and Jordan, who were trying to sneak and steal the cookie jar.

"Have you asked him why he wants another child?" she asked, levitating the jar out of her children' reaches. "After all, maybe he just wants another child because of how he sees the rest of us." Angelina frowned a bit.

"That doesn't make much sense to me. After all, seeing all the stress you two go through raising your kids, I'd be scared to have another child." Said Angelina thoughtfully, looking at Ginny, who was running her hand over her now forming belly, and Hermione who was levitating a coolie jar out of the reach of three toddlers. Alicia patted her friend on the back.

"Come on Angelina. The worst that could happen is you can end up with two twin boys that are just like him." The Alicia turned to Hermione with a small smile. "As you can see, Hermione's already suffering from this." The women all laughed.

"I say you give it a chance." Said Ginny. "What's the worst that could happen? Maybe you'll have another girl and Jackie won't have to hang out with the boys all the time." Alicia was about to say something when Fred entered the kitchen. He grinned and nodded his head in his wife's direcction.

"I'd like to speak to my lovely wife if you all don't mind." He said. Ginny raised an eyebrow at her older brother. "Don't worry, I'm not taking her away forever." He said, rolling his eyes as Angelina walked out the door before him. Fred got ready to leave, but then stopped and looked back at them. "Just don't wait up." He said, and ran after her. When they got outside, Fred nodded in the direction of an old oak tree.

"Can we talk over there?" he asked and she nodded, following him. What ever it was he had to say, he didn't want anyone to interrupt.

"So, what did you have to say?" she asked and he grinned, rubbing the back of his neck.

"Well. you wanted to know why I wanted another child so." Angelina wrapped her arms around Fred's neck and kissed him.

"Forget about it Fred. I don't need to know anymore." She said to the now confused Weasley. "Lets just do this and have fun in the process." His face went red as he stared at him wife.

"What exactly do you women talk about when we guys aren't in the room?" he asked, causing her to laugh.

"Nothing you'd really like to know about." She reassured him. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"You're going home for Thanksgiving? How come?" Jessica asked John the following day at lunch. "You know we're still trying to figure out the whole who let Fluffy loose mystery." She snapped. Chris frowned at her. He was obviously still mad at her for going to Hogsmeade with Marcus last week.

"My mum want me and Alex home to meet our great grandparents." Answered John, prodding his lunch with his fork. "I honestly don't want to go, but someone is going to have to keep Jordan and the twins from stealing any false teeth."

"Well write us everyday then. You'll be leaving tomorrow huh?" Chris asked and John nodded. "I'm glad I'm not going home. My mum is probably too busy with my new sister, Angela to cook the dinner anyway." Marcus then came up and sat down next to John.

"So, what did you find?" asked Jessica, leaning across the table towards him as he pulled some pieces of parchment out of his books.

"I didn't find much, but the dog was suppose to be guarding something called the sorcerers stone years back." Chris then cut him off.

"You clued him in on this investigation!" he snapped and Jessica glared at him.

"Well Marcus is pretty brilliant. I figured he'd be of a lot of help." She answered, causing Chris to scowl.

"Oh, so now WE"RE not good enough for you?" Marcus looked at John for some help as the two others glared at each other.

"Maybe I should get going. I'll talk to you about this later, ok Jessica." Said Marcus, but she stood up and gathered her things.

"Don't bother Marcus. We can go now." She said, and as they left, she took his hand and walked closer to him. Chris leaned back in his chair and frowned deeply. John didn't know how they'd survive with out him around to keep things in order.
