Ginny took a deep breath and let go of Draco's hand. "Mommy!" They hugged,
but she was mainly focused on. "Hi Mrs. Weasley."
She nodded her head at the young Malfoy. Each of Ginny's brothers took turns hugging her. Harry had lost contact with the Weasley's after Ginny and he broke up, and Hermione was at work.
"I think you all know Draco?" They all nodded, and started to board Mr. Weasley's car. Draco looked at Ginny and shrugged.
"Can Draco come mummy? Dad?" They looked at each other then Molly hesitantly nodded. They all sat in, Draco and Ginny squeezed into the window.
When they got to the house, Draco was the first one to get out. Ginny followed, and they both grabbed their bags.
They both walked into the living room. Ginny straightened his collar, and brushed his scraggly hair back. "Ok, now remember, not a word to anyone but me unless you're spoken to first, ok?" He nodded, looking up.
Ginny straightened her sleeves. She took Draco's hand in his own. She let go remembering where she was and her face turned red. Draco looked down at her, smiling and took her hand again.
He brought the palm of her hand up to his lips and kissed it. Her face turned red. He kissed her wrist and the inside of her elbow before Fred entered the room.
"So, haven't seen you in a while Mal-Ferret."
George hit Fred over the head. "Don't be a jerk."
Arthur hit George over the head. "Don't hit your brother."
Molly hit Arthur, Fred, and George. "Arthur, don't hit your son. George, don't hit your brother. Fred, be nice to guests." Just for leverage, Ginny hit Draco.
She started laughing as he pressed his hair back. They all looked at her. "I didn't say anything," she muttered, hiding behind Draco. "So, Draco was it?" He nodded to Molly. "You got the scholarship too, right?"
He nodded. "Ah, a smart lad we have here." He smiled and looked down in mock modesty. Ginny rolled her eyes. "So, how was your summer Gin?"
She looked at Draco. "It was ok. We found each other when we got off the plane and it turned out that we had the same hotel. We spent the whole time together. Right Draco?" He nodded, pulling the collar up that Ginny had just put down. Ginny squeezed his hand, but he just squeezed back.
Charlie took a step forward. "I'm glad you weren't lonely." 'How could I be lonely?' she asked herself. 'What with Jack and Nick and Adam...'
"Oh I wasn't lonely. I met a few new friends there too. The only thing mother is that the Muggle Americans are so odd! They walk around with these odd black things coming from their heads and-" Draco squeezed her hand lightly and shook his head.
"Oh. Um." Draco pointed to her shoes and she looked down, suddenly smiling.
"The stores! They were great! So many different things to buy! The stores mother... The clothes were so brilliantly colored! I bought everyone something-" Draco shook his head again.
Ginny suddenly knew what she had to do. She was scared. She had to tell everyone now... Oh what would they say! She closed her eyes and clutched his arm, sighed and looked up at him.
Ginny looked at Draco, her nervousness visible in her eyes. To him anyway... "Do you want to tell them, or should I," gulp, "Honey?" She looked up at him, a look of relief in her eyes.
"You do it. I'll tell them about the. Loaf of bread..." "Well, uh... Mister and Misses Weasley, I am- actually kind of scared... to announce that your daughter and I are... engaged."
Ginny held his hand firmly, her eyes closed tightly as she was scared her family would kill him... Ginny opened one eye, then the other.
Molly was grinning, while Fred had a hand on Arthur's shoulder, obviously holding him back. "There's more mommy," she whispered, holding her stomach. "Mommy, daddy, I'm-" Charlie ran up and hugged Ginny, spinning her around. "That's great Gin! A baby!"
Arthur fell in his chair, one hand over his heart. "I'm sorry daddy. Are you o-" He dismissed her with his hand. She looked up at her mother, but she dismissed her as well, along with all of her brothers.
When they got to her room, Draco put a hand to her shoulder. "It'll be ok Ginny. He loves you. He'll get over it and realize we love each other." She looked up at him. "But we don't." He shrugged and picked up a piece of paper. "Ok, we have Lilac and Landon. Nathan, Isabelle, eww and what else?"
She smiled. "Alley. Kasha, Joseph..." Draco smiled. She looked at him. No. I mean really looked at him. He looked beautiful with a smile on. He hardly ever smiled.
"Darren, Nicholas... Amy..." She giggled, pulling a hand through her hair. She was so excited about the baby now! "I'm so excited... Ooh! The baby kicked! Feel!" She took Draco's hand and placed it against her stomach and giggled. "Oh I can't wait for the baby to be born!"
She knew it was ridiculous.
She was only a month pregnant. The baby wasn't able to have leg strength! But for some reason she just wanted to feel the baby. It just made her feel so real. 'I guess that's why I'm in this position in the first place...'
At home, she had never been given the attention she deserved. As a baby, Charlie really took care of her. That's why the were so close. Mom and Dad were too busy with Fred and George. Making sure they weren't doing mean things to the neighbors kids...
But when she was with a man, like in America, everything just felt so... real. Like she deserved attention. It was the most attention she'd gotten in her entire life! All he was focusing on was her! Oh but it was amazing...
"VIRGINIA!" Ginny jumped up.
As she walked down the stairs to go see her dad, she took one last look at Draco for encouragement. She knew what was coming. The, 'How could you disgrace our family!?' Speech.
Charlie would hop in five minutes into it and hold Ginny's crying body. That had happened so many times...but it usually wasn't her that had caused the problem. The boys had framed her but this time, it was her fault...
"Here we go. Same old same old..."
She nodded her head at the young Malfoy. Each of Ginny's brothers took turns hugging her. Harry had lost contact with the Weasley's after Ginny and he broke up, and Hermione was at work.
"I think you all know Draco?" They all nodded, and started to board Mr. Weasley's car. Draco looked at Ginny and shrugged.
