CHAPTER SEVEN
"Ginny! Harry!" Cried Mrs. Weasley, the look of shock on her face not changing to joy.
After many minutes of hugs and tears from Mr. and Mrs. Weasley, and lots of explaining and stories from Ginny and Harry, the group finally settled down, and three other people emerged from the staircase.
"Mom! Could you get these two out of my room? Honestly, I come home for one week and I can't even get any peace and quiet. I could have gone back to the office and gotten more done." Percy said, holding two giggling children, one in each arm. He let them go onto the floor. "Now, you two, stay out here, and play with Uncle Harry and Aunt Ginny." He started to walk back to his room before what he had just said registered. "Uncle Harry and Aunt Ginny?" He cried turning around.
"Hi Perce." Ginny greeted.
"How you doing?" Harry asked.
He blinked. And then again. Rubbing his eyes, he walked over to the pair. And he started asking the now routine questions that Ginny and Harry had to answer. Finally, when he was satisfied, "I'll be up in my room, in case you need me, ok? And its not like you're that far away or anything. I mean really, the backyard." before he escaped to his room.
Harry smiled. Some people never changed; and he sort of liked that.
"Oh, this is Alyssa, and Kyle." Mr. Weasley said, gesturing towards the two kids still on the floor where Percy left them. "Twins, you might want to note. Six-year old twins."
"Oh no!" Ginny and Harry said in unison, both thinking of Ginny's twin brothers Fred and George.
"Eh, you don't have to worry about them quite yet. You should look out for Lisa and Rich- Fred and George were teaching them new tricks." Mr. Weasley laughed.
Harry looked at Ginny and then resumed to the conversation.
Mrs. Weasley checked her watch. "Hmm, Hermione and Ron should be home soon." She said.
"Mommy and Daddy come home soon?" Kyle asked.
"Don't you listen?" Alyssa exclaimed. "They said they would be home soon!"
Kyle rolled his eyes and walked over to Harry and Ginny. "Hi Aunt Ginny. Hi uncle Harry." He said in monotone as if he was being forced to, although no one had told him to do anything of the sort. Alyssa followed him in doing this.
"Hello Alyssa, hello Kyle." They replied.
All of them turned around to look at the chimney, which had started to make noises. There was a loud thud, and cloud of dust, and two figures on the floor.
"Ronald Weasley! Never- never again will I listen to one of your ideas!" Hermione said.
"Sorry." Ron said, rolling his eyes. "All I wanted to do was make sure that the chimney still works."
Hermione got up and started to dust herself off, but when she saw Harry and Ginny she ran over to give them both a huge hug. "Harry! Ginny!" She cried. "Oh my god! Oh my!" She couldn't really piece together any words.
Ron, getting up from the ground where he had still been laying, went over to greet his best friend and his sister with, with hugs, but not quite as hard as Hermione.
"Ugh, hewe we go agwain." Alyssa said.
"Ginny! Harry!" Cried Mrs. Weasley, the look of shock on her face not changing to joy.
