Draco held Ginny's hand tightly. This was the big day. The day they would tell her family of their engagement. They all knew that they two were going out but Draco could still tell that Ron and Harry didn't like him very much. He caught them glaring at him ever now and again.
The two were walking up the dirt driveway of the Weasley Burrow. It was time for the family get together. Draco loved them. All the noise, and delicious food was wonderful. And he loved how all of Ginny's nieces and nephews ran around screaming. Growing up in the Malfoy house hold left Draco alone most of the time. He loved how together the Weasley family was; it made up for his poor childhood.
Ginny walked in first, holding Draco's hand firmly. Once they set foot in the door they were bombarded with family members of all sizes. All of Bill's, Percy's, Charlie's, Fred's, George's, and Ron's kids attacked them.
"Aunt Gin-Gin," cried Bella, on of the smaller kids. She held out her arms to be picked up. Draco on the other hand had two of Ron's children attached to his legs.
"Uncle Drake," said John, the one attached to his left leg. They were use to Draco being around so they just called him their uncle. "Are you gonna play tag with us again like you did last year?"
"Yeah, that was fun," said Tommy, John's twin.
"Sure, why not," said Draco with a smile.
"You two get off Draco. You're too big to be doing that now," scolded Hermione, Ron's wife.
"Thanks Granger," said Draco as the kids ran back upstairs, chasing Devon, Charlie's oldest.
"How many times do I have to tell you to call me Herm," said Hermione rolling her eyes. "I mean really. If you call Ron Weasley they'll all answer you know."
"Yeah, sorry...Herm. Old habits die hard." He gave her a quick smile and went off to find his future wife. He didn't have to search long. She was in the living room with the rest of her brother's and their wives. They were all adults but they still acted like children when they were around each other. Draco figured Fred said something crude because he say Ginny punch him in the arm.
'Yep, that's my Ginny bear,' thought Draco. He walked up behind her and snacked her arms around her waist, startling her.
"How many times to I have to tell you not to do that," said Ginny sternly as she leaned against his chest.
"How many time do I have to tell you that I do it because you tell me not to," said Draco. He brought his lips to her ear and added, "Plus, I love the feeling of your body against mine."
"Ahem." George's voice cut into their private conversation. "I believe it's time to eat." He eyed Draco carefully before leaving. The meal went by quite well. No one notice Ginny's ring yet, or brought up the subject of marriage. Soon they were all seated around the living room. Draco and Ginny sat on the couch, Ginny almost in Draco's lap to most of her brother's displeasure. Once the conversations hit a lull Ginny and Draco stood up.
Draco put his arms around Ginny's waist protectively to reassure her that everything was going to be okay.
"Everyone, can I have your attention," said Ginny. The entire room went quite. "Well...I don't know how to say it but...Draco and I are engaged." The room went silent for a moment or two before Ginny was being swept into her brother's and sister-in-law's arms and Draco was receiving pats on the back and handshakes.
"Oh Ginny dear," cried Mrs. Weasley. "I'm so happy." She drew her daughter into a giant bear hug.
"Mum...Mum, I need air," squealed Ginny. Mrs. Weasley released her from her death grip.
"I'm sorry dear," said Mrs. Weasley. "It's just, I'm so happy. Now all my babies are going to be married. Ginny went through ten straight minutes of hugs and kisses. She looked over to see Draco in the same situation.
"Well, I guess I'm happy for you two," said Ron, reluctantly shaking Draco's hand. "But if you ever hurt her, I'll kill you myself."
"Same goes with us," said the Weasley twins at the same time.
"You don't have to worry," said Draco calmly. "I love Ginny more than life itself. I'd never hurt her." Small smiles appeared across the three boy's faces. Before Draco could blink the last people he thought would hug him were hugging him.
"So," said Mr. Weasley loudly to quite the group down. "You two plan on having kids I suppose." Both Ginny and Draco pink slightly while the rest of the family threw pillows at the father screaming things like, 'I don't want to hear about that between those two'.
The rest of the afternoon went by well. Draco played a game of tag with his many soon to be nieces and nephews. Ginny showed off her ring and began to talk to her mother about wedding arrangements. By the end of the day both were exhausted.
"Did you have a good time," asked Ginny as she sat on the couch in her flat with Draco's head resting in her lap.
"I had a wonderful time," answered Draco. "I'm a little tired and my feet hurt. And my back kind of hurts..."
"Do you always complain this much after a long day," asked Ginny although she already knew the answer was yes.
"Yeah, you'd better get use to it too," a smirk formed on Draco's face. "All of our kids are probably going to be this winy too. And you'll be having a lot of my babies," said Draco slyly.
"Oh, shut up you," giggled Ginny. She ran her fingers through his hair and dreamed of their life to be.
