A/N-From now on whenever I say all the Weasleys I'm also referring to Stephen and Lavender since they are Weasleys now, too. Just wanted to clear that up. Enjoy!
"What a small one brings in
A big one can take out
What is an end to one
Is the beginning to another"
Ginny and Colin were happily married that day. Everyone was glad Ginny had been able to get over Draco's death. Snape thought she never would from the way she had acted the day he had stayed with her. But luckily, Colin had helped her through.
The prophecy that Kerra had recited had been forgotten by all except for Snape and Dumbledore. They continued to survey the wizarding world waiting for something. The fact that Kerra was a Seer had slipped from Ginny and Colin's minds to the back of their minds.
It had been recently posted in the Daily Prophet that Remus Lupin's body had been discovered somewhere on Hogwart's ground, dead. Everyone had forgotten about Remus and everyone felt guilty that they had failed to remember such an important friend. The mourning lasted for a while, but like everything else, it ended.
Soon came Kerra's third birthday. Stephen, all the Weasleys, Dennis and Mr. Creevey, Snape, and Dumbledore attended the party which had been held at the park no matter how much Ginny had argued.
A few days later Kerra was over at Ron's new bought house with Stephen and Ginny and Colin were left alone at home.
"Colin?"
"Yeah?"
"When are we going to tell my family? Does your family already know?" asked Ginny.
"My family knows already. But we should tell your family real soon. If we don't, well, you can deal with Ron," Colin said. Ginny giggled. It reminded her of the day Ginny had to tell Ron that she was getting married then later on that she was pregnant.
"Sure, I'll deal with Ron. Why don't we go over today? I know everyone's home for this week so everyone will know at the same time," Ginny said.
"Great idea. Let's go," Colin said.
"Wait, Ron isn't home," Ginny remembered.
"Then we can tell him when we go to pick Kerra up," Colin suggested.
"Okay, I hope he doesn't get too mad," Ginny prayed as they Apparated to the Burrow.
! The Burrow !
"Mum!" cried Ginny as she walked into the living room. Molly came rushing in.
"Ginny! Colin! How nice of you two to drop by! Bill! Fred! George!" cried Molly.
"What now, Mu-Ginny!" cried Fred and George in unison as they raced up to their sister and embraced her.
"Colin!" they said and they both hugged him tightly, too, leaving him gasping for air.
"Mum, I was busy!" came Bill's voice as he walked down the stairs. "Ginny! Colin! It's so nice to see you two!" Bill said as he embraced his sister.
"You're not going to hug me, too, are you?" asked Colin.
"No," responded Bill. Colin sighed and Ginny and the twins chuckled. Bill shrugged and they all sat down.
"So, what's the news this time, Gin? Any kid? We've been dying for another grandkid. Preferably a boy so we can test things out on him," Fred said.
Ginny and Colin froze.
"Ginny?" Molly said. Ginny shook her head and snapped out of her frozen state along with Colin. "Is something the matter?"
"No, nothing. Actually, it's great news! Exactly what you two wanted," Ginny said pointing to Fred and George.
"Gin's having a baby," Colin revealed.
Silence.
"That's wonderful!" Molly said. "Another grandkid!"
"I hope it's a boy!" Fred and George said.
"Great, Gin. We'll be there for you," Bill said.
"A boy or girl?" asked the twins.
"We didn't ask. We wanted it to be a surprise," Ginny said.
"That's fine, dear," Molly said. Ginny smiled. They had taken it so well! But how was Ron going to take it?
"We've got to go pick up Kerra now and tell Ron. You guys took it so well, but I have no clue what Ron's reaction will be. Just in case it's the same as last time, get St. Mungo's ready for a patient," Ginny said. Colin looked horrified and the whole family burst into laughs.
"Don't worry, Colin. I'll make sure Ron doesn't kill you," Ginny teased as she grabbed Colin's arm, waved goodbye to her family and Apparated away.
! Ron's House !
"Ron! We're here!" Ginny called. Ron, Lavender, Stephen, and Kerra all came out of the kitchen.
"We were making cookies. How are you two?" asked Lavender, picking up Stephen who had been busy wiping off the dough on the couch. Kerra, on the other hand, licked off the dough and ate it, then raced into Ginny's arms.
"Fine, thanks. Actually, we have something to tell you two," Ginny breathed. Ron raised an eyebrow and Colin gulped.
"Oh, an announcement! How exciting! A child perhaps?" Lavender squealed.
"How does everyone know?" Ginny asked, turning to Colin.
"Another child?" Ron said in a fathomless tone. Colin swallowed and Ginny nodded.
"Is that a good or bad look?" Ginny asked.
Silence.
"Congratulations, Ginny!" Lavender squeaked as she placed Stephen in Ron's arms and embraced Ginny. Ginny murmured a small 'thanks'.
"Well, I knew it was going to come sooner or later that you were going to have another child. You always loved children. I don't find any reasons that state that I should be bad at the fact that you're having a kid, so I'm happy for you! Congratulations, Ginny," Ron finally said. Colin breathed a sigh of relief and Ginny embraced her brother happily.
"Oh, I'm so glad you're not mad this time! Everyone took it so well! I already told the rest of the family. You guys are the best!" Ginny said.
"Now, as for Colin, I'm going to have to have a talk with him. Maybe he should start spending the night with us. Maybe every once a week, or maybe ever day! Yes, that would be perfect. That way we won't have so many nieces and nephews wondering around," Ron said seriously. Colin looked horrified again and Ginny paled.
"R-really?" Ginny murmured.
"No, of course not! I was just kidding, mate!" Ron said as he slapped Colin on the back playfully. "You guys spend all the nights you want together. Just don't share any of the details with us, okay?" Ron said.
"Okay, Ron. I'm glad you took it so well!" Ginny smiled. Ron shrugged and picked Stephen up from the floor.
"We ought to be going now. We've got to get ready for the baby and all, build another nursery. I think D-draco already had built several, though. Anyways, bye bye!" Ginny said as she grabbed Kerra and Colin's hand and they Apparated off."I'm so proud of you honey! You did great!" Lavender said as she cheeked Ron.
"Great. Now, can I have my promised cookie?" Ron said.
"Sure," Lavender replied as she led him into the kitchen.
"Mummy, h-how come daddy g-gets a cookie?" asked Stephen, putting his hands out pleadingly for a cookie.
"Because if he didn't blow up like he did last time Ginny told him she was having a child, he would get a cookie," Lavender explained.
"H-how did you know aunty Ginny was having a baby?" asked Stephen."Molly popped into the fire a few minutes before Ginny and Colin arrived," Lavender said.
"Well, can I have a cookie because I didn't blow anyting up?" Stephen asked, putting on puppy eyes.
Lavender laughed. "Sure Stephen. You and daddy can both have cookies."
! Months Later in January !
A nursery had already been built by Draco so all Ginny and Colin did were choose the colors the room was to be painted, choose sheets and pillow covers, and any other decorative needs.
Soon a baby blue and green room was painted. They weren't sure if it was going to be boy or girl but Ginny had a feeling it was going to be a boy and Kerra went on all day singing: My new baby brother is coming soon! So Ginny and Colin thought it was going to be a boy.
"COLIN!" gasped Ginny as she collapsed on the couch, clutching her stomach in pain and agony. "COLIN!"
"What?" Colin said as he raced in with Kerra. "Is it time?" asked Colin.
"I think so," Ginny breathed. They all held hands and Apparated to St. Mungo's.
! St. Mungo's !
Minutes later the whole Weasley family, Dennis and Mr. Creevey, Dumbledore, Snape, and Colin awaited outside the ward while Molly was the only one allowed inside.
They all waited patiently and anxiously the arrival of the new child and Colin was admitted in first.
Ginny lay in bed, exhausted, and in her arms lay a healthy new born baby boy. He had strands of fair hair and the happiest brown eyes, unlike Kerra's which were blue, full of emotion, and had a hint of grey. He gurgled and Colin smiled.
"He's adorable," Colin said.
"Yup, he looks just like you!" Ginny said.
"Except for the eyes. He's got your chocolate brown eyes," Colin noticed.
"Yup. What are we going to call him? Devon? Ooo, I like that name!" Ginny said.
"Great! Then Devon Creevey it is!" Colin stated.
"What about a middle name?" asked Ginny.
"Hmm…how about Achilles? He's a famous Greek warrior who had fair hair, too," Colin said. (Achilles is pronounced: A-kill-ease)
"Sounds lovely! Devon Achilles Creevey," Ginny said trying out the name on her tongue.
"Excellent," Colin said.
An hour or two passed as the rest of the families cooed over the new boy. Kerra hopped onto the bed near her mother and also stared her new brother.
But when Kerra peered over at her brother, Devon turned his head away from her and began to cry. Kerra, startled, began to cry, too. Snape took Kerra outside and the family spent their time hushing the baby.
But why had Devon done that?
