When we walked into the Burrow the next day my whole family was there, looking agitated. Ron eyed us suspiciously as Hermione tried unsuccessfully to distract him with a game of wizard chess.
" What's this all about Ginny?" asked my mother, as she turned from a particularly large pot of stew.
" I guess I'll just tell you guys straight out. Harry and I are engaged and expecting a child." I said.
" What?!" All my brothers yelled in unison. They jumped at Harry but a menacing look from mom quieted their anger.
" Ginny, darling, how could this happen you two are so smart, didn't you use protection?" asked my mother. My father sat still staring at me his mouth open.
" Yes but it didn't work. We know you're disappointed but we've thought this through. We're going to talk to Dumbledore when we get back. We're going to ask him if we can get married on New Years Day at Hogwarts and if I can graduate early with Harry, I can't just leave him and the baby all year to go to school. We were freaked too, at first, but we thought about it and we're going to get through this together, and we're going to be great parents." I said this then looked up at Harry, smiling and gave him a hug.
" Well I guess," said my father, regaining conciseness. " All we can do now is congratulate you two!" Then he came over and gave me a bear hug.
" Harry! How could you do this to me! You knocked up my baby sister!" Said my brother Ron.
" Yeah, Harry!" Said all my other brothers together.
"I'm not a baby. Harry didn't force me to do anything. You all need to get over the fact that I'm grown up!" I said.
" You're our baby sister we're supposed to protect you!" They all said.
" I don't need protecting! Now leave Harry alone! If any of you touch him I will never talk to you again!" I said stalking out of the room, pulling Harry behind me.
" God Harry, they won't give up. They think they're protecting me when they're only making things worse."
" I know." He said, pulling me towards him into an embrace.
" I should talk to my mother. I'm the only girl, so I should let her help at least a little with the wedding."
" Okay, I think I'll stay out here, away from your brothers."
" All right."
*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*
" Mom?" I said as I walked into the kitchen. She was alone now, my brothers had been sent outside to work in the garden.
"Yes, sweetheart." She answered.
" Are you upset with me?"
" No I was a little surprised at first but, no I'm not upset with you."
" Good because I wanted to ask you if I could wear your wedding dress."
" Of course! I'm so glad you want to! It might need to be taken in a little, or maybe not how may months pregnant will you be then?"
" I'll be about three and a half months."
" Maybe not then. I'll go look for it later. So, let's talk about my baby's wedding!" She said with a grin on her face.
