The Summer After "The Truth"

Chapter 3: Platform 9 ¾

The train had finally reached Platform 9 ¾ and Molly and Arthur were waiting for their children and their friends. "Mum, Dad!" The two heard their daughter shout.

"Oh, I've missed you so much Ginny, and Ron," said Mrs. Weasley pulling her two youngest children into a tight embrace. "Oh, Hermione, Harry, dears it is so good to see you. We are so happy to have you both staying this summer. Everyone will be there of course. Oh, it feels like old times, my whole family under one roof."

"Mum," Ron said embarrassed. "You're getting way too sentimental."

"Oh, well it's just really good to see you, especially now that you have finally defeated He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named," she said to Harry. "I was so worried about you when I heard about the battle," she said as she pulled him into a bone breaking embrace.

"Well – um – yeah," said Harry turning slightly pink.

"Well, what's new?" Arthur asked trying to break the awkwardness as they walked out to the magical car.

"Well, I'm on the Qudditch team now as a Chaser, and I passed all my exams. There really isn't that much going on with me," replied Ron.

"How about you Ginny?" Mr. Weasley asked his daughter.

"Well – er – there really isn't anything going on with me," Ginny lied unconvincingly as she turned a bright shade of pink. She stole a glance at Harry, and he too turned a brilliant shade of red. Mrs. Weasley noticed this, and looked skeptically at both Harry and Ginny. She was going to make sure she found out what was going on.

A/N: Oh, No! Mrs. Weasley knows something's up! Chapter 4 will be up shortly. Wow, three chapters at one time. I'm oh so very proud.
