Chapter Eight: Back To The Burrow
"Are you ready?" Harry asked Ginny as they readied themselves to apparate to the burrow. Ginny nodded. Harry took her hand, and together they apparated.
The burrow was filled with the sounds of booming laughter from the men, the giggles from the children, and the heart-filled giggles of the women. Ginny couldn't help but feel at home. To Harry, being at the burrow was always his favorite pastime, but since his graduation from Hogwarts, he didn't get to see them as often. Tonight was definitely a night he was looking forward to, especially because he had decided that he needed to talk to Ron.
As soon as Mrs. Weasley spotted them, she squealed excitedly and hurried over to greet them. "Oh Harry, Ginny! Congratulations! I'm so happy! Ron and Hermione told us; I'm surprised it took you two so long! How are you dears?" She belted out as she took both of them into the same motherly embrace that they had know for so long and that filled each of them with so much joy and love every time. Harry and Ginny laughed.
"Hi mum. We're alright. How are you?" Ginny asked. Mrs. Weasley kissed Harry's cheek and answered, "We're wonderful! We've missed you so much!" Harry smiled. "We've missed you too!" Mrs. Weasley smiled sweetly and rubbed Harry's cheek with her thumb.
"Well, congratulations, you two! I think I speak for the rest of us when I say that I'd like to see you two kiss!?" Mrs. Weasley said aloud, looking around as everyone started to cheer. Ginny blushed the same deep, Weasley-trademark-blush. "Muum!" She muttered. Harry laughed at Ginny.
That blush, that smile, those eyes. Her laugh, her touch, even her presence. Those were some things that made Ginny unique. Whatever she did, whatever she said, whatever happened, it was always still a wonder to Harry that she would always put a smile on, even if it was forced. She somehow knew how to bring light into anyone's life. Those were only some of the things that amazed Harry about Ginny.
"Now, now. Come on you two! Kiss! Harry doesn't mind, does he dear?" Mrs. Weasley stated, more than asked. Harry laughed. Ginny groaned and faced Harry. "If you really don't want to kiss me, that's alright with me!" Harry said, trying to hold in suppressed laughter, but didn't succeed. Ginny rolled her eyes and grinned. "Shut up, Harry, and kiss me." She said. Harry laughed as the two joined hands and kissed.
Mr. Weasley, Charlie, Bill, Fred, George and Ron all hooted happily; Hermione, Mrs. Weasley, and all the other women 'awwed', and all of the children looked around to see what was going on. They finally pulled away, each bright red, but still with a smile on their face. Ginny rolled her eyes.
"That was great, but it wasn't as good as the other day when you two were snogging away on the couch!" Ron yelled. "RONALD!" Hermione said sternly and hit his stomach, but Ron could tell she was trying her best to hide her smile. Ginny and Harry each blushed a deep red as everyone around laughed. Even Mrs. Weasley had tears in her eyes from laughing so hard. "Well now, come on children, dinner's ready." She said as she headed into the kitchen wiping her eyes. They all headed into the kitchen, and when Ron was next to her, she hit her son's stomach as the two laughed hysterically.
"And THAT, Harry, is my family for you." Ginny said, rolling her eyes as she took his hand and they headed into the kitchen. Harry smiled and chuckled. He definitely loved it here.
