The Summer After "The Truth"
Chapter 5: Over-Protective Older Brothers
"Ginerva Weasley! What was this I just heard and how come I did not know about it?" an angry Charlie Weasley shouted.
"Well, you see..." Ginny didn't know what to say to her brother's angry face.
"I heard everything, and I just want to have a friendly chat with Harry," Charlie said as he began to steer Harry out of the room. When they were outside, out of earshot, Charlie began, "I know I really should tell my mother about this, but I'm going to respect my little sister's wishes. Because I respect her, now the question is do you respect her?"
"Of-of course I respect Ginny, I love her."
"Well we love her too, and if I hear that you ever lay a hand on my sister or hurt her in any way, you'll be dead meat. Do I make myself clear?"
"Y-yes. I would never ever hurt Ginny in any way, trust me. I love her so much I can never imagine hurting her," Harry said sincerely.
Charlie, hearing the sincerity in his voice said, "Well, I guess you have my blessing. I can't think of a better boyfriend for her," he then smiled, "I guess I had you scared for a moment there." He laughed.
"You have no idea," Harry laughed and then walked back into the house with Charlie.
"What did he say!?" Ginny asked as Harry walked back into the room.
"Did he threaten you with your life?" asked Ron worriedly
"Dismemberment?" added Fred.
"Disembowelment?" asked George.
"A slow and painful death?"
"Honestly," said Hermione disapprovingly.
"Well, at first, he was very threatening, but then after I told him I would never hurt Ginny, he gave me his blessing."
Ginny let out a sigh of relief, she was really worried about what Charlie would say. After all, he was her second oldest brother. "Well, let's see," said Ginny. "How many people know about us? There's Ron, Hermione," she began to count off on her fingers, "Fred, George, and Charlie. That just leaves, Bill, Percy, and my parents. And they're the ones I'm most afraid of finding out. Bill, because he's my oldest brother, Percy, because he's so uptight, and my parents, cuz well they're my parents."
"Gin, I keep telling you that we should tell them. They would rather hear it from us, than finding out on their own."
"I don't think..."
Ginny was interrupted by the door opening, "What would Mum and Dad rather hear from you?" asked a curious Bill at the door.
