Harry and Ginny just sat in her rom not happy with the problem that faced them. What would the Weasley brothers say? What would the magic community say?

"Well, mum shouldn't have a problem as neither will any of my sisters-in-law. It'll be my brothers that will be the problem" Ginny stated after a few minutes. Harry sighed and put his head in his hands.

"Can I not be in the room when they find out?" Harry asked slightly muffled.

"Harry it won't be that bad, maybe they won't care as much since we're getting married" Ginny said hopefully. Harry looked up at her with a flare. "Or maybe not. But we'll get through it together, everything will be fine!" Ginny said taking Harry's hand in hers. He smiled briefly and nodded before he groaned again.

"What am I going to do about work? I can't lie! They'll notice the second you start to show. Rita's going to have a field day with this. I can just see it now "Boy-Who-Lived Denies Paternity of Child"if I never mention it. Or better yet, "Is the Boy-Who-Lived Not Good Enough for the Youngest Weasley," she'll twist things way out of proportion if I don't announce it." Harry moaned as he said this and resumed his previous position of his head in his hands.

Ginny looked slightly disappointed that he was treating this as more of a burden but shrugged it off thinking that he was right, he couldn't lie and if he did Rita Skeeter would have a field day with it all.

"We'll cross that bridge when we come to it. First we have to tell the family" As Ginny said this they heard a commotion downstairs. Ginny silently put a finger to her lips and motioned for Harry to follow her quietly. She stopped at the landing for the second and floor and they peered through the banisters that led down the flight of stairs to the kitchen. The kitchen was full of people, most of whom where red-heads. Harry sighed.

"Well, at least we don't have to worry about talking to them all individually" Harry whispered as Ginny shushed him.

"What do you mean there might not be an engagement party?" bellowed Fred, whose wife, Angelina, preceded to yell at him for yelling at his mother. Angelina had been on the Gryffindor Quidditch team with Harry and the twins and had married Fred a year after she graduated in a double wedding with George and Katie Bell-now Weasley. Her and Fred had 3 children together, Russell John who was 3 years old and born the year the got married, Olivia Anne, who had just turned two, and Douglas Joseph who was 8 months old. Fred and George still ran their shop and had made themselves rather wealthy. Harry was still a partner in the company and received a third of the profits upon the insistence of the twins. Angelina, when not pregnant, was a reserve chaser for the Harpies.

"She couldn't have said no! I saw the ring myself, it was gorgeous!" Katie added. Katie had taken over as flying instructor at Hogwarts and had 3 children as well with George. It was a running joke that one twin couldn't have a child without the other and it was apparently true since all 6 of their children where born within months of each other. Their first, Laura Anne, was born a month before Russell. Brianna Marie, was born a week after Olivia and Andrew John was born 2 months before Douglas. All the children had flaming red hair and brown eyes.

"Ze ring iz not whats important. It iz ze proposal zat matters" came Fleur's thickly accented voice.

"She's right, did he botch up the proposal?" Came Charlie's voice. He still studied dragons but was currently in England to try to set up a reserve for dragons in the English or Scottish countryside where he could work and still be close to home. He had married during the summer before Harry's sixth year. He married a beautiful Irish woman named Tessa who had also been working in Romania with dragons. She had beautiful auburn hair and deep green eyes. They had four children together so far. They were the only Weasley's to have quadruplets, all of which were 4 years old. Teresa Anne, Siobhan Grace, Sean William, and Moira May made up the Weasley quadruplets. All had auburn hair with flaming red highlights. However, Teresa and Moira had blue eyes while Siobhan and Sean had their mother's green ones.

All of a sudden they all started talking at the same time. Harry and Ginny sighed.

"Maybe we should go tell them" Ginny whispered to Harry. He nodded, stood up, and took her hand. Ginny got up and squeezing his hand, made her way downstairs with him by her side.

"Talking about us?" Harry said with a cheeky grin. Everyone stopped talking at once and stared at the couple. Laughs and screams of glee could be heard from the living room where all the grandchildren were playing.

"Well?" asked Ron impatiently when Ginny and Harry didn't respond right away. Ron worked at the Ministry with Hermione. They both worked and headed a department that registered werewolves and found them jobs and was working on a cure for lycanthropy. So far, they had a cure for those that had been bitten within the last two years but were steadily making progress for more advanced cases. Remus Lupin had agreed to be a test subject for pay. Hermione worked on the cures while Ron worked with registering the werewolves and then finding them well paying jobs that won't discriminate or fire them for leave of absences every month.

Ginny just smiled at her brother and held out her hand on which Harry's ring sat. All the women squealed and rushed forward to kiss and hug Ginny and examine the ring. All the men shook Harry's hand and patted him on the back. Admist all the congratulations, Mrs. Weasley could be seen crying and exclaiming "My baby! I knew it! My last baby!"

When the congratulations dimmed, Hermione asked the one question that was on everyone's mind.

"What took you so long to say yes?" Everyone nodded their heads in agreement to wanting an answer and turned to Ginny who went pale in return. Harry took her hand and squeezed it reassuringly. Ginny looked up at him and smiled. She then turned to her family and took a deep breath.

"Well, erm, I didn't want to say yes until Harry knew something important..." Ginny trailed off as she looked around the room and noticed that she had everyone's attention. Hermione, Bill, Tessa, and Mrs. Weasley all looked like they knew what was coming and Ginny thanked Merlin that they all looked pleased, albeit a bit disappointed, but pleased none the less. "I had to tell him I was pregnant" Ginny finished a little apprehensively. Everyone stood there staring at her and Harry shocked, except for Charlie and Ron who had turned red and looked ready to kill Harry. Hermione, Bill, Tessa, and Mrs. Weasley all shared the same warm smile as their suspicions had been confirmed.

Mrs. Weasley was the first to break the silence. "Well, at least you're getting married. Congratulations dear" Mrs Weasley hugged a shocked Ginny and a gobsmacked Harry. Bill, Hermione, Tessa, Fleur, Katie, and Angelina followed suit. The twins, Charlie, and Ron all looked at Harry like they would like nothing better to maim the Boy-Who-Lived.

"You're not angry?" Harry asked Mrs. Weasley. She shook her head.

"Mad? No, I can't deny that I am not a bit disappointed that you weren't married first, but you are getting married and how can I be angry about my daughter's first child? I'm going to be a grandmother again!" Mrs. Weasley replied with a warm smile, it lacked it's usual warmth but it was comforting to Harry that she wasn't angry with him.

"Look, Harry, I know as the oldest brother that I should have my hands wrapped around your throat for doing this to my baby sister" Bill said with a chuckle as he slid his arm around Harry's shoulder and Harry gave him a horrified look. "But you are getting married, and I know you will be good to her. Besides, you wouldn't want the ENTIRE Weasley clan out to get you, you need at least one of us on your side if you don't want one of my brothers to try and kill you" Bill continued to laugh as Harry's jaw dropped at the realization that none of the other brothers had moved or calmed down. Seeing this, Tessa, Katie, and Angelina went to calm down their respective husbands. They were able to clam them down to the point that they congratulated Ginny with sincerity and warmth and Harry a bit coldly. However, they had lost their death looks. Unfortunately, Hermione was not having the same luck with Ron as her sisters-in-law had with their husbands. As much as she pleaded with Ron to calm down and she reason, he wouldn't listen, until he exploded.

"I'm going to kill you!" roared Ron as he lunged at Harry. Harry was too quick for him and dodged. Ron recovered in enough time to run after Harry who had left the house and was tearing down the yard towards the lake on the edge of the Burrow's property.

"Ron, stop it!" Ginny yelled as she, Hermione, and Bill ran after the pair. They caught them at the edge of the lake running around it. Eventually Harry transformed into his Animagus form and started running with the powerful legs of a black panther with Ron desperately trying to keep up. Harry made it over to Ginny and hide behind her as Ron came up panting.

"You... can't... hide... behind... her... for... ever... Potter" Ron spit out venomously as he tried to catch his breath. He was leaning on Hermione for support until he realized that his wife was 3 months pregnant and didn't need the extra weight he was putting on her. He then switched to leaning on Bill for support as Hermione turned to him angrily.

"How dare you Ronald! That is your best friend!" Hermione yelled at him. Ron flinched a bit before he snapped back at her.

"No best friend of mine would get my BABY SISTER PREGNANT" Ron yelled back and shrank back as Hermione growled.

"I agree with you Ronald that it isn't a good situation but he saved her life in the Chamber of Secrets, I for one think there is no better person for her or for him. Now either you can get over this right now and be happy for your sister or act like a baby and sleep with Arthur tonight!" Hermione yelled at him and stalked off with Ron following ashamedly behind her apologizing profusely for yelling at her.

'Do not apologize to me Ronald, apologize to your sister and her fiancee for chasing harry around the lake." Hermione said to him as she stopped walking away. Ron looked dejectedly back at Harry, Ginny, and Bill.

"But Hermione-" Ron started.

"No 'But Hermione' me Ronald, you are acting like a child, even the twins could get over their anger to at least congratulate them!" Hermione tapped her foot impatiently waiting for her immature husband to apologize and congratulate his sister and best friend.

Ron sighed realizing that he wouldn't win on this one.

"I'm sorry. Congratulations Ginny. I'm happy for you, really" Ron mumbled looking down at the ground. Ginny threw her arms around her older brother.

"It's ok Ron, I'll forgive your hard headedness. Just this once" Ginny added harshly and stalked off towards the house with Harry following behind her. Hermione huffed after them.

"Face it, little brother, you're whipped" Bill said with a laugh as he put his arm around Ron's shoulder and led him back to the house. Ron just sighed and let his brother take him back to the house.

Author's Note: A little longer this time. I want reviews before I post the next chapter! I'm sorry this is going so slow, it's the third chapter and we're still on the same day. But this is to set up the entire story. There are still some characters I have to introduce and this is mostly filled with background information about all of the characters. Once I am done with that the story will go much faster! In fact next chapter is a completely different day. Eventually, once I introduce all the Weasley children that are born at this point in time of the story then I will post a family tree of sorts so you can have some idea of how many children there are, who they are, who they belong to, and possibly a description of what they look like. Old school friends and their families will be introduced during the wedding chapter. And there are more Weasley children than I have mentioned. I have listed Bill, Charlie, Fred, George, and Ron's children but what about Percy? I did say he died in the war but that doesn't mean he didn't have children now did it? But do the Weasley's necessarily know this? Did they ever make amends with Percy? Find out in later chapters!
