Night Time Chapter 6
A huge thanks to everyone who reviewed. Thank you Thank you Thank you.
Skull: Thank you for your reviews. Sorry I don't update as often as I would like. I write faster than I type. I took keyboarding and all I just have to make myself sit down and type the stories up.
Ginny rounded the final turn and entered the kitchen. Zoey clung tightly to her neck, she whimpered.
Ginny's eyes now back to brown, clouded over, "What's wrong babygirl?"
Zoey leaned back and whispered, "Uncky Ron?" Her eyes clearly communicating her question.
"I'm sorry babygirl. I didn't mean for you to see that. Uncle Ron said something very bad to Uncle Harry and it made Aunt Ginny mad."
"VIRGINA WEASLEY!" Ginny and Zoey's attention was brought rudely to Mrs. Wealsey. "You did that to Ron didn't you? I should have known. Get back up there and put him right!"
Ginny's eyes flashed blue defiantly, "No. He got what he deserves." Ginny's pointed reply stopped Mrs. Weasley.
Mrs. Weasley began to argue back but stopped herself. She could tell by the look in Ginny's eyes that her mind was made up.
Sighing she asked, "Why did you do that?…Is it going to wear off at least?"
Ginny walked past her mother and set Zoey down gently in a chair. She nodded, "Yes Mum it will. As for what he did…you will have to ask him." She turned to look at her mother, "But Mum…I warn you…If I ever hear him say anything like what he said last night…What I did to him today will be mild to what I do to him then."
Mrs. Weasley looked questioningly, Ginny continued, "Ron talked to Harry last night. He said some things I should have permanently hexed him for."
Mrs. Weasley's eyes now flashed, "What exactly did he say?"
"I told you. You'll have to talk to him about that. If I tell you about it then I'll get mad again and I'm trying really had to stay in a good mood.
Ginny turned to Zoey, "Know what you want babygirl?' Zoey told Ginny (Showed her rather) what she wanted to eat.
"Mum can you watch her? I'm going to go back up stairs for a bit." She leaned down to kiss he niece's blonde head and went back upstairs.
Once she got to her room she began to open the door, when it opened on its own. Hermione was leaving the room, the two's eyes met and Hermione's moved to the floor.
"Mione…" Ginny started, catching Hermione's arm before she could leave. "I'm sorry. Really. I didn't mean for that to come out. I just...I know it doesn't excuse what I said but…I just wanted to put Ron in his place. I really never meant for that to come out but it was what was running through my head and before I knew it there it was…" she trailed off, "I'm sorry." Tears were rimming her eyes.
Hermione looked up, tears in her eyes also, and nodded. "I know. It wasn't just what you said that bothered me. It was also what Ron had said. You know? I mean it didn't exactly make me feel good to know that he thought a flat wasn't good enough for you but it evidently was for me. I understand why you said what you did. Really I do. It probably was the only way to get it through Ron's head. Hermione turned bitter when she spoke of Ron.
Ginny wrapped her arms around Hermione. Hermione smiled slightly as they pulled apart. "How long is he going to be purple?"
Ginny laughed and saw Hermione was near laughter also, "Only another hour or so. Nothing too drastic. Yet.
Hermione smiled and walked up the stairs. Ginny pushed the door open again and went into her room.
She saw Harry on her bed where he had evidently thrown himself once he had changed clothes. One arm was thrown up, shielding his face. Ginny walked over to the bed and crawled next to him. His other arm snaked around her waist.
"You know you shouldn't have done that, right?"
"I know. I upset Hermione."
"She's more upset with Ron than you, love."
They lapsed into silence.
"Zoey loves you."
Ginny raised her head questioningly at this, "What?"
"She love you. You can tell. She is thinking of you as a mother."
"Ginny sighed and nuzzled her head into his neck, "Does that bother you? You know she loves you too."
"I know she does. You're good at it…taking care of her. I think it is good for her. Did you ask Bill how Brennan is getting on?"
Ginny nodded against him. "He said Zoey asked about her for a while but that stopped. Brennan's worse. He still waits for her at night. I'll never understand. Why did she just walk away like that? And those names. She's no better than those muggle relatives of yours.
The biggest puzzle for me is that she knew about Bill. He never hid he was a wizard. I'll never understand how she could call her kids the things she did." Ginny was shaking her head.
"What did she think? That just because she was muggle the kids wouldn't be magical? She accepted Bill. Why couldn't she accept her kids? What's wrong with them being magical?'
"I don't know love. I don't know. They have your family, they will be okay." Harry reassured. "You know as much as I think you should have left well enough alone about last night…What you did to Ron was hilarious." During the last statement harry attempted to hold his laughter in but failed miserably. Soon he and Ginny were in fits of laughter.
Ginny gulped air quickly, still laughing, "Well you want to see funny just wait until Mum gets w hold of him."
"You told her?"
"No, she asked but I only said he said some things and left it at that. But she's still pissed."
"Ron is too. He just stood there after you left like he expected me and the others to side with him. Then he stomped up to his room."
"Well he had better just watch his step."
Harry just smiled, hugged her to him and kissed her hair.
That night
The event from that morning faded slightly as dinner was being prepared. The large family moved outside to the garden. Each carrying something to one of the to table, which were butted against each other. Ginny began assisting with giving the children their food. She then seated herself next to Zoey as far from Ron as she could get. Once all the children were accounted for everyone began to eat. The children were Brennan; Charlie and Samantha's three- Carter, Jayden and Haylee; Fred and Katie's twins- Nikolas and Nathan; and George's three- Landon and the twins Addison and Madison.
Many hours later, dinner long forgotten, the dancing began. Ginny with her father and Harry with Mrs. Weasley. This time the party continued without a hitched. Late into the night they began to call it a night. Half the children were curled up in lounge chairs or on the grass fast asleep.
Ginny scooped up Zoey. Harry grabbed Landon, George grabbed Addison, and Fred got Madison. The others brought things into the kitchen.
Once the kids were all in bed, Harry and Ginny said their good byes (Minus Ginny talking to Ron) and disapperated.
Once home, harry stepped up to Ginny smirking. "Well he wrapped one arm around her waist, pulling her to him. "You must have put the fear of God in him. He never said a word."
Ginny's eyes darkened as she stepped closer. "Well…he's just…going to have to deal with it."
Her lips brushed his lightly but pulled away. HE groaned. She smirked as their lips met again. The two became lost in one another, slowly circling on spot. Both of Harry's hands were cupping her cheeks. Ginny's hand were at the nape of his neck and his cheek. The kisses grew more intense, long, slow and drawn out, searing each other's lips.
Ginny's hands moved down and worked under Harry's shirts. As she drug her hands up his body the shirt followed. They broke their kiss long enough for Harry's shirt to be deposited on the floor. The clothes continued to be discarded and the two slowly made their way to their bedroom. Harry backed Ginny up to the bed, never breaking their kiss. When her knees hit the mattress, the two fell. From there the world around them stopped.
The following morning
"POP!"
"Harry? Ginny? Are you guys up yet? A voice called out timidly.
Ginny rolled over toward Harry, lightly tapping her hand on his chest. "Harry, Someone's here." She wasn't overly concerned about the person in their living room. Apparation shields had been placed over the flat before they moved in, only allowing a select few to apparate straight into their flat.
"Harry." She called louder. He mumbled something and turned his head the other way.
Sighing, Ginny got up. Not being able to find her robes from the previous day she wrapped a sheet around her small tanned body and padded to the bedroom door.
As she opened the door she sleepily yawned, "Who is i…" she stopped at the top of the stairs. At the foot of the stairs stood Ron, fully normal, and looking at her wide-eyed. Ginny's eyes flashed blue and hardened as she stared at him, crossing her arms over her chest.
"Ginny please listen to me," Ron pleaded. Ginny continued to stare coldly.
A sleepy voice called out, "Gin what are you doing up? We don't have to be at the pitch untilllll…ohhhhh." The voice trailed off. Harry stood behind Ginny, he too clad only in a sheet. He stopped when he caught sight of Ron.
Ron's face reddened slightly, either from anger or embarrassment. It was all to obvious what they had been up to before they fell asleep.
"Um…I…I…um." Ron sputtered.
"You what? Came to start more shit did you?" Ginny spat viciously.
Ron looked shocked at the hate evident in Ginny's voice. "N-no. I came to…to say…I'm sorry.
I shouldn't have said that. Harry, mate I didn't…" Ron trailed off when he looked up to Harry for support but was only met with a cold glare. He sighed. "Sorry…If I interrupted something. I just wanted to catch you before you left for practice. I'll go now. Good luck tomorrow." He gestured to their lack of attire at the beginning.
Ron turned to go out the door. Ginny's eyes softened slightly. She looked over her shoulder at Harry. He nodded and she stepped forward. "Ron wait."
Ron stopped and turned to look at her.
"It's okay. But don't ever let me hear you said anything like that again." She stepped up to him and continued, "To put it bluntly Ron, it's none of your business. Not where we live and not what we do. It's our business, our decisions…our lives. You have to understand that. I'm happy. I love Harry and that's all that matters to me. I have him, my family and a job I love, I don't need anything else."
"But Ginny…You can't possibly be happy when you two can't even walk down the street holding hands. That can'' make you happy."
"It does. I have my reasons."
She reached out to hug him but he stepped back. Ginny's eyebrows furrowed. Ron had paled then turned red.
"Uh…Gin…maybe you should get dressed first."
Ginny looked down shocked, she had forgotten she had a sheet for clothes. Harry coughed behind her to conceal his laughter.
Ginny spun and ran up the stairs to the bedroom. Harry laughed, Ron held out a hand to harry and Harry cocked an eyebrow at it.
"What? I can shake your hand. I don't care how you're dressed, except that you were with my little sister dressed like that. I've lived with you for 10 years. Plus you're not my sister. That I don't ever want to see." He pointed upstairs.
Harry laughed again and took Ron's hand, shaking it.
Ginny reappeared dressed in a loose green sundress.
"Oh so you're still dressing to match Harry's eyes are you?
Ginny smacked Ron's arm. Ron pulled her into a hug and kissed her on the cheek. "Thanks Gin. I'm sorry." Ginny nodded. Harry and Ron shook hands again and Ron disapparated.
Ginny turned to Harry and burst out laughing. "Poor Ron. He was trying so hard there. We didn't help him any dressed like we were."
"Did you see how red he went when he saw me too?" Harry laughed. "Come on love. Let's go back to bed for a bit before practise."
