Blue Flowers of Celestial Years
Chapter 15: "Magic in Her Eyes"
The months seemed to pass by so quickly that it made Ginny's head spin. It was the seventh years' prom next week (Ginny was still going with Seamus, only as friends), and next year would be her last year.
The thought of leaving Remus was practically unbearable to Ginny, but that year was coming up. It seemed like only a few weeks ago that she was first being sorted into the House she would be residing in for the rest of her school career.
Merlin, how the time flies too quickly!
Her first year she would prefer to forget, but there were other times, in her later years, that she wished she could go back to; like the first time Ginny was accepted on the Gryffindor Qudditch team, or during her fourth year when she joined Dumbledore's Army. She could loose herself in those memories if only someone would stop tapping on her shoulder…
Ginny snapped her head up, looking at Remus—er—Professor Lupin. She was in the classroom filled with her classroom peers; during this time she was not Remus' lover but Professor Lupin's student.
"I'm sorry, Professor." Ginny said quietly and started jotting down more notes as the teacher continued his lecture.
Ginny tried to concentrate on the task at hand, but her mind started to wander again. When had she gotten so old? Well, technically, she is not old, but it seemed that way; and here she is, studying to become a Healer.
"Are you alright, Ginny?" Remus asked, causing Ginny to come back to reality. "You seem a bit more spacey."
Ginny wondered why Remus was calling her by her first name when they were in the middle of class. That is, until she looked around and saw she was the only student in the room.
"Oh, it's just hard for me to concentrate right now." She replied as she got her school items together.
"You know, my father always told me, 'An idle mind is the devil's workshop.'" Remus said with a laugh. "It's an old muggle saying, I guess."
"Well," Ginny started after she got all her things together. "My brother, Charlie, always says, 'Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and good with ketchup.'"
Remus tried to hold back his laughter, but he could not. Ginny could not help but smile at the sound of his laughing; it was not the way he laughed, it was the fact that she made him laugh.
"And," Remus concluded. "Sirius always said, 'Do not play leapfrog with a unicorn.'"
Now it was Ginny's turn to laugh. Remus returned to grading papers and, of course, humming a song as he did so.
"What song do you keep humming?" Ginny asked, taking her seat next to him.
"It's an old muggle song… I don't know if you know what song."
"Just try me."
"Earth Angel by the Penguins; they were really popular back in the 40s and 50s. My father loved that group and he would always play their records. My favorite song, of course, was Earth Angel."
"Can you sing it?" Ginny asked, wondering what it would sound like if Remus sang.
"I can't sing…" Remus said, blushing and avoiding eye contact with her.
"I bet you can!" Ginny challenged, gently nudging Remus with her elbow.
"Cannot."
"Can too!"
"Can't."
"Can!"
"Not."
"Can!"
"Not."
"Oh, you're impossible, Remus!" Ginny huffed, folding her arms.
"Not entirely…" Remus chuckled with a mischievous grin, leaving Ginny wondering what evil thoughts this 'innocent' man could possibly be thinking.
"Remus," Ginny hesitated. "Do you think… sometime in the future that we can get married; even if it is secretly?"
Remus was startled by the question, but he smiled sadly.
"I wish we could but there are several factors we have to consider; one, I'm not sure your family would approve of our relationship."
"Well, a few of them would be angry with us," Ginny countered. "But they'll come around… eventually."
"Which one would be the first one?"
"I think Fred and George would accept it first because they're, well… Fred and George. Then Bill, I think, then Charlie, my dad, Ron, and finally my mum. I'm not quite sure Percy would approve whole-heartedly, but, hey, he's Perseus. What's the other factor?"
"Second, I'm a werewolf—"
"I don't qualify that as a factor." Ginny said determinedly, scowling and recrossing her arms.
"—And werewolves cannot legally get married." Remus continued after Ginny interrupted him. "Even if we sign the legal documents, the Wizarding Laws will not recognize it."
Ginny's jaw flopped open in shock.
"They—They discriminate even that?!"
Remus nodded sadly, knowing that Ginny deserves to be married, but it would not happen if she is together with him.
Ginny's shoulders slumped, now realizing what she was facing if she stayed with Remus. Not only will her mate face discrimination, but so would she.
"I'm sorry I didn't tell you that sooner, Ginny—"
Remus was cut off by Ginny when she kissed him determinedly and fiercely.
"Don't you dare apologize!" Ginny hissed. "None of this is your fault, or my fault; it's their fault! You are a constant victim, not a monster; and I will stay with you even if I have to starve to death! Remember: If we are to die, then we die together!"
Remus blinked, slowly smiled, and kissed Ginny back with just as much determination and fierceness.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Next week hit, which was the night of the seventh years' prom. The school was buzzing about with excitement as the hours drew nearer to the special night. Ginny became very nervous as if it was her wedding day.
Her dress was already picked out, and she got first pick (well, only pick) with Hermione to help her with cosmetics, nails, the works. Ginny picked Hermione because one, she is like the sister she never had, and two, Hermione made a big hit during the Yule Ball her fourth year.
Hardly any of the students could focus in class, which caused Professor Snape and McGonagall to grow a couple of gray hairs. The theme was picked out, which Ginny did not know what her opinion of it was:
Magic in Her Eyes
So what were the ladies supposed to do; put magic in their eyes? When Ginny asked Hermione this, the bushy-haired book worm laughed and said, "It's a figure of speech."
"By the way," Ginny said as her and Hermione were getting ready for the prom. "Who is Harry going to the prom with?"
Hermione tried to hold back the laughter rising in her throat, but it ended up coming out as a snort.
"Only one Miss Luna Lovegood." Hermione answered, carefully applying Ginny's eye shadow. "Luna has a 'thing' for Harry now."
"The poor boy." Ginny laughed.
The Great Hall's tables were moved completely out of the room, decorations were "Wingardium Leviosa" up to high places, and extra "sparkle" magic was placed on the walls so the room glittered.
Finally, the hour approached and all the girls headed to the Great Hall, some with their dates and some without. Ginny and Hermione just happened to be among those few; Ron and Seamus said that they will meet the girls in the Great Hall.
It was acceptable for Seamus because he and Ginny were going as friends; for Ron, that was inexcusable because Hermione is his girlfriend. When Ginny asked Hermione if she scolded Ron about that, Hermione just said, "I've given up on teaching him some manners two years ago."
The common rooms in every House were filled with students and parents; some with their dates, and parents were there to see their children finally becoming adults, with their cameras, and suddenly becoming "Snap-happy."
Colin's muggle father and mother were there with there with their cameras, more snap-happy than the rest of the parents. Ginny finally understood where Colin got his habit from, although she was watching the commotion from her dorm door, cracking it open a bit so no one could see her.
When all of the commotion left the room and prom started, Hermione was finally ready to go, much to the disappointment of Ginny.
"Ginny, it's time for us to go." Hermione said, entering Ginny's dormitory and fastening a beautiful diamond earring in her ear.
Hermione pierced her ears through a magic spell which did not hurt at all, unlike muggle piercing; she also did the same for Ginny, without Mrs. Weasley's realization, of course.
"I don't think I can go." Ginny said nervously, looking at herself in the full-length mirror.
Even though the mirrors all around the girls were whistling, hooting, and making cat-calls, that did not make Ginny feel any better.
What made her feel worse was Remus was going to be there, and Ginny was sure that students and teachers cannot dance with each other.
"Oh, Ginny, you'll be fine!" Hermione encouraged, obsessively-compulsively straightening out Ginny's gown. "You look beautiful!"
"I can't do this." Ginny whispered as Hermione put an earring in Ginny's ear.
The bushy-haired girl smelled sweet, just like Remus said she did. Remus and Ginny once had a conversation about how the students naturally smelled, using his sense of smell, of course. He said that Hermione smelled like sugar cookies. It was a weird topic, but it is those moments that Ginny lives for.
"Of course you can do this." Hermione softly argued, which was surprising because she had always been stern during arguments; Ginny was willing to bet it was because one, she is a fellow woman, and two, she is Ron's sister.
"No, I can't!" Ginny yelped, almost bursting into tears.
Hermione looked so beautiful; comparing her to Ginny was like comparing a rose to a slug. Well, in Ginny's opinion.
Hermione was wearing a beautiful dark-blue formal gown that showed off every curve of her body from her perfect breasts, to her perfect flat stomach, and to her perfect hips. The dress was thick strapped, without sleeves, velvet, and flowed out perfectly after her hips; even her make-up and hair was perfect.
Hermione was wearing white diamond earrings that dangled perfectly on her ears, a necklace that had a thin silver chain, and a small white diamond that dangled off of it. Her bushy hair was now straight and elegantly put up, with sapphires placed at perfect places.
Ginny wanted to cry because Hermione was so perfect. Did Cho Chang graduate last year or not?! Is not she the one who was so perfect in every way?!
"Ginny," Hermione said after she put Ginny's earrings in for her. "You're acting as if this is your wedding. Am I going to go through the same thing on your wedding day?"
No, because I doubt I'll get married, and my mother would probably be chasing me around because of the man I chose, and my brothers and father would be chasing him with silver arrows and silver bullets.
Then Ginny thought of walking down the wedding isle, seeing the man she loves so much standing there, watching her with those blue eyes she loves so much. Those blue eyes that are soft and filled with the love he only feels towards her.
Best of all, she had seen those eyes looking at her that way before.
"No, you wouldn't," Ginny finally answered. "Because I wouldn't have any doubts."
"Why do you doubt yourself now?"
Ginny straightened out her formal gown some more before she answered.
"Because I don't feel comfortable going in there like this. I've always been known as a small, shy, ugly little tomboy. No matter what I do, no matter how I look right now, it won't change how people will always view me."
Hermione raised an eyebrow, looking like she wanted to slap Ginny, but the slap never came. Instead, she grabbed Ginny by the wrist and practically dragged her out of her dorm room and to the Great Hall.
"Come on," Hermione said over her shoulder while dragging Ginny. "We're already a bit late."
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
In the Great Hall, students danced, associated, had conversations, and snogged while the teachers observed to make sure they did not misbehave. Some teachers even joined in the dancing while dancing with each other.
Remus felt silly for being in fancy dress robes, and also being picked by Dumbledore to also be one of the teachers that observed the students to make sure they behaved. His fellow co-worker, Professor Snape, seemed to have a sharp eye for any trouble caused.
The music blared and some couples found snogging spots, which Snape was especially on the look-out for. The drink table had Butterbeers on it and a white cloth that dangled off of it, hiding everything under there.
Snape looked suspicious at the table, and without a word, he went to the drink table, opened a Butterbeer, drank it very fast and chucked it under the table.
There was a 'clunk' sound and a male voice shouting, "OW!" as he and his snogging partner scrambled out from the table. They tried to make a run for it, but Snape caught them, knowing who they were.
"Jones! Narvi!" Snape shouted at the couple, whom started running for their lives.
Remus watched the scene with a bit amusement as a bad mood Snape deducted points.
"Twenty points from Gryffindor!" Snape shouted at the young man, Jones. "Five points from Slytherin!" the teacher shouted at the young woman, Narvi.
The last line Snape shouted caused not only the students to stop in their tracks, but also the staff. Never, ever, in Snape's entire career, had he ever taken any points from Slytherin! This was a new record!
"What are you looking at?!" Snape snapped at the students. "Get back to your lousy celebration!"
The students jumped and were about to do just that when one of the Great Hall's two huge doors opened…
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
"Remember, Ginny, you can do this!" Hermione said as she opened up one of the huge doors, never letting go of Ginny's wrist; probably because she would have ran off.
Hermione let go of Ginny's wrist when they entered, and Ginny could not run because every students' eyes were on them. A lot of guys had their mouths opened when they saw Ginny, and many girls looked extremely envious.
Ginny trembled as she slowly followed Hermione to where their dates were waiting for them. Her eyes spotted Harry with Luna; she was smiling at Ginny as Harry was looking at Ginny like he just saw her for the first time.
Ginny was wearing a light, light violet formal dress that really brought out her hair; the dress was long length, no sleeves or shoulder straps, and it outlined her curves perfectly, and flowed out at just the right time. While her breasts may be huge, the dress lifted and curved them perfectly as her neck displayed a small, crystal necklace.
Ginny's beautiful, long, red hair was put in a delicate bun with white diamonds sparkling in her hair. There were not any freckles that could be seen because Hermione used a spell to make them disappear for the entire night. Her make-up was done perfectly, and her perfect nails were painted a delicate violet to match her gown.
As she looked at all the students' eyes on her, Ginny made a mental note for her future seventh year prom: Be early so she would not be the center of attention.
Ginny's eyes swept over the students and the staff until her eyes finally landed on Remus. For a split second, that seemed to last forever, their eyes met. He was looking at her; really looking at her. It was a look that made her shiver in delight.
Remus was looking at her like she was a grown woman.
His eyes were soft and filled with a deep emotion that hardly anyone in the world knew how to handle; it was an emotion that he only felt towards her. Even the look he gave her was something he only shared with her.
Time sped back up, and soon, Ginny was standing with her brother and ex-boyfriend/friend, Seamus.
Ron was looking warmly at Hermione as she wrapped her arms around him, holding him deeply; Ginny knew what that was like, and her arms ached for Remus.
Turning back to her date, Ginny saw Seamus blushing at the sight of her. She smiled at him kindly as he stumbled over his words, asking her to dance with him.
As they moved to the dancing center, Remus watched them. In the back of his mind, Romulus snarled and paced his prison confinement, wanting to tear at the boy who dared to touch him mate.
The urge to throttle Seamus good was so strong that Remus lurched forward a bit. He looked around to make sure that no one noticed, and thankfully, no one did, although Headmaster Dumbledore gave him an odd look.
An hour passed and Ginny noticed Dumbledore and McGonagall slow dancing with each other. Ginny noticed Professor McGonagall smiling at her secret husband, and Ginny had to smile at them; although she closed her eyes and shuddered when her mind was assaulted with one question: How is their sex life?
"Quite a wondrous beauty, isn't she?"
Remus jumped at the sound of Headmaster Dumbledore's voice next to him. He had been so consumed with watching Ginny that he did not even notice his boss coming up beside him.
"W-Who?" Remus asked nervously, acting like he was watching out for other students.
"Ginevra Weasley, of course."
"Well, yes…" Remus hesitated, acting as if he had not noticed.
Dumbledore watched his students enjoy themselves on the dance floor with blue eyes that held adoration and fierce protectiveness.
"Poor Professor Snape is on the war path." Dumbledore said as he watched his other employee take more points from Houses, daring the students to sneeze.
"I think he doesn't like the prom," Remus began. "Because he did not go. Severus was not the most popular student in the school…"
"Ah." Was all Dumbledore said as he watched his students again.
Ginny and Seamus seemed to become tired from dancing, along with the others, so they sat down on chairs, talking about nonsense that did not matter to the world.
"If only we can protect them from the horrors of the world, eh, Remus?" Dumbledore asked, looking sadly at his employee. "But, alas, we cannot keep them innocent forever."
Remus watched Ginny sitting with her brother and friends, laughing endlessly without a care in the world. She did not know how chaotic the Wizard World was becoming; no student did, save for Harry Potter.
To answer Remus' question, he nodded sadly.
He wanted nothing more than to wrap his arms protectively around Ginny to tell her that he would always be there for her, to protect her from the world.
The hours passed, and soon, the seventh years' prom was over.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
There was a knock on his door late that night, and Remus wondered if it was Ginny. The classroom door opened and non other than Ginny came into the room.
Ginny was no longer a vibrant princess in a beautiful formal gown with elegant hair, and an elegant walk; she was plain Ginny Weasley. Remus still had not changed out of his formal dress robes.
"Good late, late evening." Remus greeted with a smile.
Ginny shyly smiled, her make up was completely off; the only thing she did not have back yet, that was part of her, was her freckles.
"Is it too late to be here?" Ginny asked, brushing off her pajamas.
They were cute; it was white with puppy-paw prints all over them.
"It's never too late."
Ginny slowly walked up to Remus as if he was a stranger, slowly and shyly.
"What's wrong, Gin-Gin?"
"I-I don't look… elegant any more…"
"You look beautiful."
Ginny gave a heart-felt sigh, looking at herself.
"I'm plain Ginny—"
Suddenly, the magic spell that made Ginny's freckles disappear wore off, and her freckles started to reappear; like someone took a paint brush and started painting them on her skin. Ginny blushed and tried to cover her face, but Remus gently removed her hands after much coaxing.
"I'm so plain, ordinary, tomboyish, ugly—" Ginny berated herself until Remus interrupted her.
"And I love plain, ordinary, tomboyish, beautiful Ginny rather than then the elegant princess I saw tonight."
"But… I saw the way you were looking at me… like I'm an adult."
Remus hugged Ginny deeply, lovingly.
"I did see you as an adult tonight, but I've also been seeing you as an adult before that."
"Remus…"
"Ginny, you said that you wanted to be married?" Remus asked, looking lovingly at her.
"Yes, but we can't, remember?" Ginny replied looking depressed.
Remus suddenly looked nervous as he fumbled around in his dress robes' pocket. He cleared his throat as if preparing for a speech.
"I know this isn't much..." Remus said as he pulled out a blue velvet box out of his dress robes' pocket.
He opened it up, revealing a simple, but beautiful, ring with a small diamond on it. Ginny's eyes widened and her mouth fell open.
"And I know we can't legally be married." Remus said as he pulled the ring out of the velvet box, took Ginny's hand and slipped it on her "married" finger.
"But we can be married by our own values."
Ginny looked wide-eyed at the jewel on her finger; it was finally occupied and not empty, or vacant. Tears started to form in her eyes as her heart swelled up impossibly with happiness.
Ginny could only nod with the bright, shinning smile that Remus would kill for if he could see it on her lips.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
The few, short weeks passed by all too quickly, and soon the seventh years were leaving. The graduation ceremony was held on the Quidditch field so all parents in the stands could see their child receive their diplomas.
The teachers' seats were near the goal posts while the students were seated facing them. The speech podium was the only thing between them.
Everyone in the Weasley family, save for Percy, came to the seventh years' graduation ceremony. Mr. Weasley had pulled out his camera filled with film, snapping pictures of Ron, Harry, and Hermione, the whole family, and just about everything he thought was worth taking.
Hermione had graduated Valedictorian of the whole seventh year class, of course, and had to present a speech to the whole graduating students and their families.
She stayed strong though her speech, but as soon as Hermione said, "… We shared all the adventures, smiles, laughter, pain, and tears together…" she broke down crying.
Surprisingly, not one student laughed at Hermione, whom everyone knew as the "insufferable know-it-all." In fact, many of them had to hold back their own tears because of the powerful emotion their Valedictorian presented.
"I'm sure we would always remember all our peers, even if we did not like them." Hermione sniffed. "We would always remember the dedicated staff that taught us, never failed to deduct or add House points, even if we did not like them."
Ginny, in the family stands, smiled sadly for Hermione who struggled to present the rest of her speech.
"The last thing I want to say is that I hope you had wonderful seven years, and to ensure the future that is presented to you. Earn whatever you can and make the most of it."
Everyone clapped as Professor McGonagall stood to give diplomas to students as Headmaster Dumbledore said the names in alphabetical order. The woman was very strong until the famous Harry Potter walked up to receive his document.
During Harry's fifth year, McGonagall was determined to have the Triadic One become an Auror because Umbridge said he could not do it. True to her word, she did just that, teaching him every night, and as a result, they came to regard one another as a "grandmum-grandson" relationship.
After Harry took his diploma and shook McGonagall's hand, the old woman burst into tears, sobbing, and she hugged Harry… well, more liked crushed him with her arms.
Dumbledore was patient as his wife hugged the young man he came to regard as his grandson as well. Finally, McGonagall pulled herself together and continued to pass out diplomas.
"Okay, all Hogwarts students together!" Mrs. Weasley said, after the ceremony now getting possession of the camera.
"Ginny's the only one in the family left at Hogwarts, mum." Ron laughed, showing off his Wizard Diploma. "We're no longer Hogwarts' students."
It had a waxed seal with all the animal symbols of the Hogwarts' founders on it. While Ron had ripped through his waxed seal to make sure his diploma was real, Harry had been more careful opening his as if trying to preserve it as much as possible.
Harry looked depressingly at the school that was his refuge; he looked like a lost man who had just lost his home, and Ginny's heart went out to him. While he was still going to continue school to become an Auror, Ginny knew that Hogwarts was really his home.
"Harry…" Ginny said, wrapping him in her arms, hugging him like a sister would her brother.
When Ginny pulled back, Harry quickly wiped away the liquid that was running down his face from his eyes.
"I have allergies." Harry mumbled pathetically, making sure his tears were gone off his face.
"Don't worry; I promise I won't tell anyone."
Harry smiled gratefully at Ginny, and turned back to look at the castle.
"I wish Sirius was here." Harry whispered. "So he can see me graduate; see that I made it, and I am going to become an Auror."
Ginny's heart felt sadness for him and they stayed quiet, looking at the castle.
"He is here, Harry." Ginny exclaimed, turning to the young man. "And he is watching you; I know he is very proud of you, as he always will be. So are your mother and father."
Harry looked confused at Ginny.
"They're right here." She said, putting her hands over his heart.
Harry looked reassured, even happy, after Ginny's explanation. He kissed Ginny's cheek, just like a brother would kiss his sister.
"Thank you, Ginny."
"Oh, Harry, come on!" Mrs. Weasley ran up to them, smiling brightly and holding her camera. "You're missing out on the pictures."
Mrs. Weasley dragged the poor young man towards Mr. Weasley, Bill, Charlie, Fred and George, Ron, and Hermione.
Through the commotion, Ginny looked at the stands in the distance, spotting a certain redhead that she had not seen in a good while; letting out a gasp, she went around the people to make sure he did not see her and run off.
When she reached up beside him, Ginny saw he was looking longingly at the family while they took pictures.
"Hello, Percy." Ginny greeted.
Percy jumped, looking at his only sister with fearful eyes as if afraid of rejection. But Ginny wrapped her arms around him, hugging him fiercely, never wanting to let go. He smelled like spice; that was when Ginny realized she had been around Remus too long… which was a good thing.
"I missed you so much!" Ginny cried, hugging her brother tighter and he hugged her back. "We all did!"
"They don't want to see me." Percy whispered, shaking his head.
Ginny shook her head, letting her brother go, and smiled lovingly at him.
"No, we do. You're part of our family, after all."
Percy looked at the family whom were still taking pictures.
"You know, Ginny, I am not like you guys at all. I've been so different from the family that I often wondered if I was adopted. This is how I always felt; they're over there, having fun with each other because they are alike, and here I am, sitting, watching them at a distance."
"Percy…"
"You know that our parents could never buy us new things throughout our school career." Percy exclaimed. "I just didn't want hand-me-downs anymore; I wanted something new for a change. I didn't want this kind of lifestyle."
"But no matter what lifestyle we live in, Percy, we can be sure of one thing; our family loves us no matter what we do."
Percy sighed, watching his family move for another picture.
"Say, why don't we go over there and see for ourselves that they love you?" Ginny offered.
Percy looked down at his hands, shaking his head.
"I can't; no, I won't."
"This is the only way you will find out for sure. Come one, Percy, where's your Gryffindor courage?"
Percy hesitated and was about to answer when he saw something shiny on Ginny's finger. He grabbed her hand and held it up to examine it.
"Ginny. What. Is. That?!"
Ginny looked at her wedding ring as it glinted and shined innocently.
"Oh, it's a… promise ring!"
"Promise ring?" Percy repeated, eyeing Ginny suspiciously.
"Yes, they're really popular, and girls wear them for a 'promise' for the one they are gong to marry in the future."
Percy seemed satisfied with that answer and looked nervously back at the Weasley family…
"Okay, Ron, a little over to the left… good!" Mrs. Weasley directed. "And, you Bill, to the right… well done! By the way, where is Ginny?"
"I'm here."
"Oh, good—" Mrs. Weasley stopped when she saw her third son standing next to her only daughter; the Lost Son.
Percy swallowed nervously as the entire Weasley family stared at him like he was a complete stranger. He was about to leave when…
"Oh, Percy!" Mrs. Weasley sobbed, running a few paces to hug him. She sobbed as she held him. "Percy, Percy; my son, my darling son!"
Percy was surprised but he held his mother back, whispering his deepest apologies. Mr. Weasley, the father, came up to Percy after Mrs. Weasley stopped hugging and sobbing all over him, and he hugged Percy.
They family sighed in relief, thinking that Mr. Weasley would have slapped Percy, but they all rushed forward, hugging him as Percy apologized to everyone, included Harry.
"Don't worry about." Harry said, doing something no one thought possible; he also hugged Percy like a brother.
Fred and George came up to Percy, much to his nervousness; if anyone would yell at him and discard him, the twins would.
"Percy!" Fred exclaimed. "Where have you been?"
"You missed all the inventions that we could have used you to test it on!" George joked, slapping his brother on his back. "But, sadly, we had to use ourselves. Do you still want another chance at it?"
Percy smiled, relieved at their exception.
"You know…" Percy started, and everyone thought he was about to start a lecture. "I will seriously think about that offer."
Fred and George almost fell over, but they soon grabbed Percy on opposite ends.
"Hey! He's mine!" Fred said, tugging on one arm.
"He's my brother first!" George claimed, tugging on the other arm.
"I'm older than you by fifteen minutes so I say he's mine first!"
"No way!"
And the Weasley family accepted a Lost Son back into their family.

LupinFan227: Family always assumes our innocence because they want to keep up as "innocent" as long as possible; which is too late for Ginny. Yes, a big event is coming up next chapter, and thank you for wishing me luck on my finals! Thank you for your review!
Elora Nova: (authoress takes out her hearing aid, to find out if she could hear well) Do not kill… (mumbles name) Uh, do you want me to e-mail you the spoiler so you are prepared when that certain chapter comes up? I would be happy to. (sets up her battle gear and gets ready for flaming review number two) Thank you for your vow, by the way. (ears get shot once again and authoress is forced to put her hearing aid back in her ear) THANK YOU FOR YOUR REVIEW!!!
Tante: The wizard community mentioned was the neighborhood James Potter grew up at; many happy memories. Thank you for the web site, and I will be sure to visit it soon! Thank you for your review!
Branmuffinpower: No, brothers don't know anything about their sisters (authoress mumbles about her own brother). I don't mind about the endless ranting about shagging. Ginny's Patronus is not a bunny (sorry to disappoint you!) but an animal I think is very cool… a mysterious animal. You will find out what her Patronus animal is either next chapter or the one after it; I'm leaning more towards the one after it. Mrs. Rowling once said that she based Dementors off of that awful depression feeling that we sometimes get, and I understand what she was talking about, having been through depression many times myself. I'm only a muggle living in America, too, although I have a guy friend from England! Woo! Naw, the language I put in last chapter is my second language, Japanese. I love that language so, so, sooooo much! And it is spelled unconscious. Thank you for your review!
Blaith: I agree: Yay, Ginny and Remus! Thank you for your review!
Dangerous Soul: Yes, I have the idea of Ginny's animal already; it is kind of related to the dog family. You will find out about it the chapter after next chapter. The phoenix does seem like a good symbol for Ginny; she is kind, compassionate, and healing (in a more than physical healing kind of way). The phoenix is also considerate, kind, compassionate, and healing. Maybe you could make a fan fic about that? (hint, hint) Thank you for your review!
Elizabeth Turner I love Finding Nemo as well. I was supposed to get it as a graduation present, but it seemed as though my friends had forgotten that. (glares at her friends from over her computer) Thank you for your review!
