A/N; It dawned on me that there were only three pairings mentioned in this story and I had to do something to rectify that horrendous mistake.  Oh by the way there are slash pairings mentioned, but they are only mentioned.

A Fresh Start

Ginny and Oliver apparated to just outside of Ottery St. Catchpole so that they could walk to the burrow.  Ginny needed time to prepare herself to see her family for the first time in months.  Oliver had already sent their presents via floo to the burrow to be placed under the tree because one of the Weasley family traditions was to open one present on Christmas Eve.  So he walked (half dragged) Ginny to the burrow.  They were just outside when Ginny stopped suddenly.

Oliver looked at her, "what?"

"I don't think I can do it," she said.  Her face betrayed how nervous she was.

"Why not?"

"What if they don't want me back?"

"Ginny…"

"Oliver, we should leave."

"I don't think that's going to happen."

"Why not?"

"Because you've been spotted."

Sure enough the moment he said it two red blurs came tearing at her.

"GINNY," both boys shouted as they leap at her; crushed her to them.

"Fred, George," she whispered hugging them both back.

"Don't you ever do that to us again." Fred said.

"Yeah, you can never leave us again, Gin," George said, as they pulled Ginny into the burrow.  Amused Oliver followed shaking the snow out of his hair. 

"LOOK SEE WHAT WE FOUND," George bellowed.

"What is all the bloody commotion about," Charlie asked, then he saw the much smaller redhead between the twins, "GINNY," he shouted much louder than either of the twins could.  Bill stuck his head into the kitchen.

"Did we just hear the human foghorn, say…Gin!" he cried as he dived across the table to hug his youngest sibling.

"Hey, Bill, Charlie," she said near tears.

"So then, I told him that we had better…what the hell," Percy said as he and Alicia walked into the kitchen both carrying the groceries.  He looked at the sight of what appeared to be four of his brothers hugging next to the kitchen table.  They spread apart when they hear him entering.

"Hi Percy," Ginny said shyly.  Percy dropped the bags that he was holding and leapt in a rather undignified manner to his sister and hugged her tightly.  Alicia was the only one to notice an extremely quiet Oliver standing by the staircase.

"So," she said quietly to her friend, "you knew where she was all along."

"Yeah, what of it?"

"Nothing," she said looking at the scene in the room, "And that ring on her finger?"

"Oh someone noticed."

"OLIVER!"

"What?"

"Congratulations." She said as she kissed him on the cheek.  All the Weasley's turned to see what Alicia's fuss was.

"What," Alicia and Oliver asked at the same time.

"Nothing," the six present Weasleys said together.

"That's creepy," Alicia muttered.

"I'll say," Oliver grunted.

"Where is everyone?" Ginny asked quietly.

"Mum and Dad are out doing something, Ron is picking up Harry and Hermione, and our girlfriends are in the other room," George answered.

"And wives," Charlie said.

"And boyfriends," Bill added.

Together they entered the sitting room.  In the middle was the large tree and underneath said tree were tons of oddly shaped and wrapped presents.

"Hey everyone look at what Fred and George dragged in," Bill said,

"Bill," Remus scolded his boyfriend.

"Sorry Remmie," Bill said as he sat down next to his boyfriend.

"Gin, you came," Parvati said as she hugged her friend, "George was beginning to become unbearable with all his whining."

"Fred was worse," Luna said glancing at her husband, who plopped down on her lap,  "Oh and by the way Weasley, you are so talking to me later."

"Right, Lovegood, er…Weasley."

"Hey Ginny, glad you came back you have know idea how much you mean to these boys," Katie said, "Charlie has been in England more often than I think he has been since he graduated."

Also in the room was, Lee Jordan and Seamus Finnigan, and Ron's boyfriend Ernie Macmillan.

"Hey Gin," Lee said with a sly smirk on his face, "get your grades in?"

"Why yes, Lee I did," She said giving him a glare that must be a prerequisite to becoming a potion master, "signed sealed and delivered in plenty of time.  One perk of teaching potions, they either can brew or can't."

"What?" Bill asked overhearing the conversation, "You were at Hogwarts?"

"Yes," Ginny said.

"LEE," Fred snapped, "Why didn't you tell us?"

"Gin asked…er…threatened…er asked me not to," he said, "Oliver knew as well,"

"Yeah so did Parvati," Oliver said quickly saving trying to save his own hide.

"HEY," Parvati said rather miffed that she was brought in to the discussion.

"I am not going down alone guys," Lee said, "You both are coming with me."

"Well, if everyone is going down, don't forget Snape, Sirius Black, and Mr. Jasper, my former boss." Ginny said.

"Sirius," Hermione gasped as she, Harry, Sirius and Ron entered the room, "you never told us."

"That Hermione," Ginny said icily, "is because I asked him not to."

"Ginny," Ron cried as he ran over to his sister, he unlike the others did not smother her with hugs instead he took her arm and dragged her upstairs to his room.

"Please listen to me Gin," he pleaded with her after he hugged her to him.

"Ok, Ron," she said.

"First I want to say that I'm sorry that we caused you so much pain."

"Ron."

"Please, let me finish."

"Ok," Ginny said smiling fondly at her favorite brother.

"You told me that you didn't think that you were important to us, but you are Gin, you would not believe just how important you are to us," Ron told her, "we missed you so much Gin, not knowing anything, you scared the shit out of us."

"HEY RONALD, STOP HOGGING GINNY!" Charlie roared up the stairs.

"ALRIGHT," Ron and Ginny yelled and descended in to the kitchen again.  Ginny and Ron entered the living room wherein Oliver was being tormented by Lee, Sirius and Alicia.  The three of them seemed to know something that the rest did not.  So naturally they had to try to extract it using pure Weasley methods. 

All this however stopped when Ginny entered the room.  She glanced at the scene and smiled.  Oliver was sitting in the middle of the room.  With Fred and George standing innocently with on hand on each of Oliver's shoulder.  Bill and Charlie were sitting on the couch with childlike expressions on their faces.  Percy was standing in a corner shaking his head with a delighted expression on his face.  Everyone else was trying hard not to laugh, well except Hermione who was scandalized and Luna who was offering pointers on how to extract info using various methods that the different magical creatures used in an article that she had written for The Quibbler.

"Hey didn't Molly want us to finish decorating this room before she returned?" Katie asked saving Oliver from further questioning.

"Shit," Bill said," everyone wands out, Mum will be here in an hour."

So the room was decorated with time to spare.  Luna and Parvati got out the hot cider as Molly and Arthur came up the drive.
