Chapter 2
Ginny tossed the floo powder into the fireplace, stuck her head in and shouted, "The Burrow!" A few seconds later her head appeared in the kitchen of the burrow. "Mum!" she yelled.
Her mother walked into the kitchen and smiled at her, "What is it, Ginny dear?"
"What did Harry talk to you and dad about when he came over a couple of weeks ago?" she asked.
Molly sat down in the chair closest to the fireplace, "Harry asked us not to tell you, that he would when he felt the time was right," she said, then smiled. "But I can say that I am happy for you, Harry is a wonderful young man and you are very lucky...."
"He told me that he loves me, mum," she said.
Molly grinned, "Well, that's part of what we talked about. He told us that he's in love with you, and we encouraged him to tell you."
Ginny and her mother talked for a few more minutes and just as she was pulling her head out of the fireplace, she saw Harry walk in the kitchen door of the burrow.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Harry walked in the door of the burrow and saw Molly sitting by the fireplace, Ginny's head was just disappearing from the flames. "Hi Mrs. Weasley," Harry said.
"Hello Harry, Ginny tells me that you told her that you love her," she got up and hugged him. "I look forward to your next announcement."
Harry blushed, "That's why I'm here, I was hoping to save the next one for Christmas," he told her. "But I wanted you and Mr. Weasley there when I talked to my mum and dad."
Molly Weasley shook her head, "You still haven't talked to them?"
Harry looked down at the floor, "The memories of them being dead are still prominent, and I'm just not sure where to begin."
"Don't you worry about it, I'll go over and talk to your mum," she told him. "It might be easier for you if she already knows what you're planning."
Harry hugged her, "Thanks Mrs. Weasley. I know that they understand how difficult this is for me, but I'm still having trouble with the fact that I have a family of my own. In the other time, I only had you and Mr. Weasley most of the time, the rest of the time I had Sirius and Remus, but they just aren't like parents to me. You and Mr. Weasley are the closest thing to parents I had."
Molly sniffed, "We'll always be here for you, Harry. But now you have your real parents and you should go to them. Arthur and I are honored that you think of us as parents, but we don't want you to alienate your real parents."
"I won't Mrs. Weasley, but when it concerns Ginny, I'm always going to come to you first," he said to her.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Ginny was pacing in the kitchen of Potter Manor, waiting for Harry to come back from the burrow. When he appeared with a pop, she ran to him and threw her arms around him. "Why were you at the burrow?" she demanded.
"I went to see your mum and invite her and your dad to dinner tonight," he laughed.
Ginny slapped his arm and pulled him toward the door. "Everyone is waiting to play Quidditch, and you're holding up the game."
Harry pulled away from Ginny, "Go ahead out, I have to use the loo and grab my broom," he told her.
Ginny went out the back door and stood with her brothers. When Harry came out they all mounted their brooms and headed for the Quidditch pitch. They played Quidditch until Lily called them in for dinner. They put away their brooms and headed for the kitchen. Molly and Arthur were sitting at the table with Nymphadora Tonks-Lupin, Rose Black, Laura Snape, and Mary Pettigrew, Lily was passing platters of food to the table and Dobby was levitating glasses and jugs of pumpkin juice.
"All of you go and get cleaned up, you're not sitting at the table and eating a dirty as you are," Lily told them. The group of Quidditch players trooped off to the bathrooms to wash up for one of Lily's massive meals.
Molly caught her as she walked by, "Lily, Harry would like to talk to you and James after dinner," she whispered.
Lily stared at Molly, "What's wrong?"
Molly patted her arm, "Nothing, it's just one of those things that he wasn't sure how to bring up, so he came to Arthur and I to help him."
Lily smiled at the older woman, "I'm glad that he had you to come to Molly. Every time I think about his life before they came to our time, I'm always glad that he had someone that loved him."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
After dinner everyone except for Harry, Lily, James, Molly and Arthur went into the library. Harry sat at the table watching his parents, and wondering how they were going to react to his news.
"Harry, what is it that you wanted to talk to us about?" Lily asked.
Harry blushed, "Well, it's about what I want to give Ginny for Christmas."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Ginny sat by the fireplace watching the door, Lily was the first through it and she headed right for Ginny. She leaned down and hugged her, then walked over and began whispering to Sirius and Rose. After a minute or two they looked up at her and smiled.
Harry sat down on the floor in front of her and kissed her hand, "How is my favorite red head?" he asked, a twinkle in his green eyes.
"I'm fine, but why is everyone staring at me and smiling"
Harry grinned, "Because they know about your Christmas present," he told her.
She looked around the room and all of the adults were smiling at them. "That must be some present, Harry."
He got up, and stood next to the chair. She scooted over and made room for him next to her. He sat down and took her hand, "It is, just wait and see."
