A/N: Sorry it's taken so long, I have been kinda busy, but school is out and so I will be updating a lot more. I don't know who all I have thanked for reviewing but thank you to anyone I haven't thanked already!!!! And I hope you all were patient enough to wait for this chapter! This chapter will be in Anne's POV.
Chapter 4: Ginny's Arrival
About 2 minutes after my dad sent the letter to Ginny, she arrived with Hedwig on her shoulder. I ran over and gave her a hug, "I missed you so much, Ginny, and I know my dad did too." I said with a wink.
Ginny smiled at me and said, "I missed you too, Annie, I can't believe how big you've gotten. But your just as scrawny as your father, I suppose that's just how you two are."
"I am not scrawny," my dad said defensively, as he came over I moved aside and let the two of them hug, "I've missed you so much Ginny, I love you."
"I missed you more than you'll ever know, Harry, I never want to lose you. I love you so much," Ginny said getting teary eyed.
"Don't cry baby, I won't leave, never ever again. You'll never lose me again, I promise." Harry assured her, "I promise you that I will never leave you, never again." He said as he brushed away the tears running down her cheeks.
Clearing her throat, Ginny asked, "You said you had something to ask me, what is it?"
My dad smiled, got down on one knee and said, "We've been friends for a long time, you watched me get married, you helped with the birth and raising of my daughter Anne, and when I ran away you tried to come after me. You are the reason I came back, you were there for me when Cho was killed, and you were there for me when Sirius and Remus went each went through the veil. But you were also there when something good happened, like Sirius and Remus coming back from behind the veil, and now I ask just one more thing of you. Will you, Virginia Marie Weasley, be a part of the best part of my life, will you do me the honor of being my wife and Anne's mother?"
Ginny was crying really hard by this time, but she managed to nod her head and give my dad and I the biggest smile anyone had ever seen her with. I ran over and engulfed them both the biggest hug in the world as I realized that I, too, was crying. My dad's smile grew even more as he said with a laugh, "What is with women and crying when their happy?" Ginny and I gave a small laugh and playfully hit my dad, "Hey now, no ganging up on me just because I'm out numbered."
"And it's about darn time you were out-numbered, too. For SEVEN years I was out-numbered by you and Ron." Hermione said with a smile.
"Only SEVEN years, for 16 years I have been out-numbered." Aunt Petunia said with a laugh.
For the next 4 hours the adults all sat downstairs talking about what had happened while we were gone and Oliver constantly putting in little hints about my dad playing for the Quiditch team. Meanwhile, Katie, Sam and I were upstairs unpacking my stuff and talking.
"So Anne, what was it like growing up in muggle America? It must have been weird to have to hide your powers, did you have many friends? Did your dad ever make any new friends, you guys didn't seem too sad about leaving the muggle world, were you unhappy there?" Sam asked all of this in one breath.
"Sam, take a deep breath. It wasn't really all that unusual to grow up in muggle America, it was just that I could tell my dad missed being able to use magic whenever he wanted. I didn't have any friends at all and neither did my dad, of course he wasn't happy at any job he tried to do so he either got fired or quit. We weren't necessarily unhappy, we just both knew that we didn't belong there, we belong here. Where we can do magic whenever we want, where everyone knows us because of my dad, where we're loved and needed."
"Wow that must have been pretty hard, going from day to day knowing that there was a better life you could be living. Knowing that there was somewhere that you could be yourself but you couldn't be there without constant reminder of what had happened." Katie replied with awe.
"It was, but I think I always knew that, eventually, we'd have to come back. I'd have to go to Hogwarts at some point." Anne replied indifferently.
Knock, Knock "Can I come in?" Ginny asked from behind the door.
"Yeah, come on in, it's open."
"How would you kids like to go shopping tomorrow while your dad's and Sirius get started on making our house?" She asked as she entered the room.
"Sure, I need to get the basic stuff for doing magic; I also want an owl..." I replied.
"Well, that you'd have to talk to your dad about, but we'll get enough out of his vault for the basic stuff, plus some." Ginny said with a wink, "But for now you kids should get ready for bed, it's almost 10 o'clock already!"
"Awwww, but Ginny, we don't wanna go to bed yet." I whined.
"I know it's just so horrible that I want you to be awake enough to pick out your robes tomorrow, but you still have to go to bed."
"You know, you're really good at that."
"I used to use that on you all the time when you were little."
"Well, g'night then....mom." With a smile, Ginny left the room.
"What happened that made you so happy?"
"She called me mom," Harry smiled and wrapped his arms around his fiancée's waist. "I think I like being called that," Ginny said as Harry pulled her in to their room.
