A/N: I don't own Harry Potter.
Okay, I'm going to answer some reviewers' questions but I don't remember who asked them so…
First off, as you will figure out about two minutes into this chapter, Oliver did not propose to Ginny on New Year's Eve. They discussed why a few chapters ago but to recap: Oliver felt that the situation with his sisters meant that now wasn't a good time to be getting ready to get married too.
Secondly, Katie and Fred are going to have a boy. I know that; they don't. He'll be named Joseph Michael.
Thirdly, Alicia and George are going to have a girl. They'll name her Emily Sophia.
Fourthly, if you have any questions, I didn't answer, put them in your next review and I'll do my best to answer them.
TardyChick06: Welcome back to my favorite reviewer! (The rest of you are awesome too, but TardyChick06 was a constant reviewer when I first started this fic and her reviews always made me want to keep writing.) I'm very sorry that you didn't like Percy in the last chapter but he needed to be like that to explain what's going to happen to him in this chapter.
Lily Nicole Potter: I'm not going to name one of the new Weasley grandchildren after you but that's only because I'm going to name Juliet Wood's best friend after you! You'll see her in like two seconds but she needs a last name. Any ideas?
Short Babe: Thanks for reviewing. It's reviews that make me come back. Please don't die. I'm glad you love the story.
Hippy Girl: I'm glad you like it. My muses returned, thankfully.
Loving Ron: I'm so glad you love this story. Thanks for reviewing.
Son gomay vidal goku: Thank you! I can't believe that this really is the best Ginny/Oliver fic you've ever read. I know Callie will be Oliver's stepdaughter when he and Ginny get married but she's not his biological daughter and she never will be. That's what I meant. Penny and Percy aren't going to really get divorced; I'll work on that in the next chapter. Oliver, Bill, Charlie, and the twins will smack them over the head with a few large, heavy objects and fix everything.
Iluv-Siri-Boy: One of my other favorite constant reviewers! My email isn't working right now otherwise I would email you about this story and the other one. I would like to know what all the baby names in When You See a Guy… mean, if you want to find out you can, if not, I can do it.
And thanks to all my other reviewers! (If you want me to name a character after you, let me know! I'd be happy to do it.)
Oliver and Ginny went back to Hogwarts a week and a half after Christmas. Life was as crazy as ever. The first night that the students were back Juliet and Maria were in Ginny's office telling her about their Christmas with their grandparents. Juliet had brought her best friend, Nicole, with her. Nicole played Quidditch for Gryfinndor; she was a chaser. Her hero was Katie Bell who had been good enough to go pro but she had other ambitions in life.
"It was the worst Christmas ever," Juliet moaned. "Grandmother spent hours talking about the stupidest things. She spent an hour talking about why I should cut my hair. I don't get it; I love my hair. It's awesome." Juliet had waist-length golden blonde hair.
"You have gorgeous hair," Nicole said, reassuringly. "Everybody but your grandmother loves it."
"Nicole's right," Ginny said. "You have beautiful hair. Don't ever cut it."
"Thanks," Juliet said with a smile. "I'm glad someone likes my hair."
"Your hair is awesome," Maria said, stroking her sister's long hair. "I would love to have hair like yours. You have thick, glossy hair and my hair isn't nearly as beautiful as yours is. All three of you have prettier hair than I do." Maria had shoulder-length sandy blonde hair.
"You have pretty hair," Nicole said. "I know plenty of girls who would kill to have your hair."
"So do I," Juliet said. "Your hair is lovely."
"Grandmother certainly doesn't think so," Maria said sadly. "She told me that my hair was pitifully thin and excessively ugly."
"That's not true," Nicole said sympathetically. "Your hair is not pitifully thin. It's not as thick as Juliet's but it is lovely."
Maria ran her fingers through her hair. "You have wonderful hair," Ginny said with a smile.
"Mum says it'll be brown when I get older," Maria said.
"It probably will," Juliet said. "There's a rumor that Oliver had sandy blonde hair when he was born."
"He did," Ginny confirmed. "I've seen his baby pictures."
"I haven't," Maria said. "He took them out of the house when he moved out, eight years ago. He said they were too ugly to be seen by his poor, innocent younger sisters. I think he must have been a cute baby."
"Dee-dee-dee-dum," Ginny said twiddling her thumbs. "That's one way of saying it, I suppose. You do know his nose was broken when he was born."
"That's how you know he was meant to be a Quidditch player," Juliet said.
"I never know that!" Maria shrieked. "How did that happen?"
"He broke it on Mum's pelvis," Juliet said. "She told me about it once when I was talking about his nose being weird."
"That is so weird," Nicole said. "But Oliver is the type of person you would expect that to happen to."
"That's the sad part," Juliet said. "He's exactly whom that would happen to."
"I know," Nicole said, "Oh, hey, Ginny, who's watching Callie tonight?"
"Oliver," Ginny said. "He said he needed to have some bonding time with her."
"Did she really call him Dada?" Juliet asked excitedly.
"He did," Ginny confirmed with a smile. "It was so adorable; it happened on Christmas Eve morning."
"Were those her first words?" Nicole asked with intense interest.
"Yes," Ginny smiled.
"That's so awesome!" Juliet squealed.
"I can't believe it," Maria said. "Callie thinks my big brother is her daddy. Oliver is a daddy."
"He's not her biological father," Nicole reminded her.
"So what?" Maria replied. "Callie thinks he's her dad. When's the wedding?"
Ginny sighed and laughed. "It won't be any time soon; your brother hasn't even asked me yet."
"Aww," Maria moaned. "I was hoping you two would get married soon."
"So was I," Juliet said sadly.
"We will get married," Ginny said reassuringly. "But first your brother has to ask me to marry him."
"He'd better ask you soon," Juliet said.
"Yeah, while I'm still young," Maria added.
The next morning, classes resumed. After breakfast, Ginny had to run Callie to Oliver and then hurry back to her classroom. Her first class was crazy. The students just didn't understand the charm she was trying to teach them. Her second class of the morning was no better. By lunchtime, she was about ready to just go back to bed and try to start the day over. She had just had it with her students; she wanted to strangle some of them and murder some of the others. She sat down next to Oliver at the staff table and moaned. "Hard morning?" he asked.
"Like you wouldn't believe," she replied. "Callie didn't sleep much last night because she's teething, so I didn't get much sleep either."
Oliver nodded. "I understand. What classes do you have this afternoon?"
"Just fourth years," Ginny said. "It means your silly sister and her loony friend. At least that will keep things interesting."
Her boyfriend and colleague nodded. "Juliet seems to adore you. Every time she sees me she asks me when we're getting married. It's so sweet. She told me that she really wants me to marry you because she thinks that you'd be a great older sister. I told her that you'd be her sister-in-law and she looked at me and said, 'same difference, Ollie Boy, same difference, Ollie.' She really wants us to get married."
Ginny smiled and laughed. "So do I but I know you want to wait. Besides, it's the middle of the school year. I'm a little too busy to get engaged now."
Oliver just nodded.
That night, Oliver was sitting in his office when Juliet, Maria, and Nicole came in. "We have a proposal for you," Juliet announced. "Well, it's not so much a proposal as a suggestion, sort of. We have an idea that we think you should act upon."
Oliver looked at her. To say he was confused would be putting it mildly. What were his sisters and Nicole up to? Did he want to know? Finally, he slowly said, "Okay…and what's the idea?"
"Well, we think you'll like this," Nicole said. "We think it's a really good idea and we're pretty confident that you'll like it."
"It's an idea of extraordinary genius," Maria added. "I find it phenomenal, beautiful, and romantic."
"It is a plan of brilliance, inspiration, and delight," Juliet finished.
"All right," Oliver said. "This plan sounds pretty amazing. What is it?"
"We think that you should propose to Ginny on Valentine's Day," Juliet announced.
"I was actually thinking about that already," Oliver said. "I know I want to ask her to marry me that day but I quite haven't worked out what I'm going to do. It has to be entirely romantic."
"And involve Callie," Nicole pointed out. "You must involve her daughter to know that you really do care about her and that Callie is very important to you."
"Which she is presumably," Maria said. "I mean, you wouldn't spend that much time with her if you didn't like her."
"I love that little girl," Oliver sighed. "She's an angel. Before I met Ginny and Callie I wasn't sure whether or not I wanted to get married and have children but now I'm certain that I want to get married and have many children."
"That's a good start," Juliet said. "You should definitely tell her that when you propose to her. It's so beautiful. If I'm ever a single mother, I want someone to say that to me."
"If you're ever a single mother, I'll call the man who made it so," Oliver retorted. "I swear it on the graves of all our dead relatives."
"He's violent," Nicole commented.
"It's only because I love them. I don't want any guy messing around with my sisters."
"Relax, I'd kill any guy who tried to mess with me," Maria stated. She always was somewhat of a tomboy.
Oliver smiled at his second youngest sister. "I'm sure you will, Maria, but back to your plan, ladies. How do you propose that I propose to Ginny?"
The three girls smiled mischievously. "Candlelight dinner is out if you have Callie there," Juliet began. "So, we decided that you should have a picnic dinner in a wide open field in Italy. We figured you could Apparate there and back. And also, everyone thinks that Italy is romantic."
"Then while you're having your picnic, you ask her to reach into the picnic basket and see if anything is left in it. The only thing that will be left there is the ring," Nicole said. "She'll pull out the ring and you'll ask her to marry you. She'll say yes and it'll be so beautiful."
Oliver smiled. "I like it. It sounds very romantic and very nice. I suppose you want me to bring Callie with us as well?"
"Yep," Nicole said. "That would be the key to having a picnic lunch. If you had a romantic candlelight dinner, you wouldn't be able to bring Callie. But a picnic is very baby friendly and that's exactly what you need. You need a baby friendly proposal."
"And we've provided you with a perfect one," Maria finished.
"It is a very good one; I'll admit that," Oliver told them. "I'm very impressed with it. You three have thought everything through and I'm very impressed. I have one question. Where is the food for this picnic going to come from?"
"You could ask the house elves in the kitchen to make it for you," Nicole offered. "I'm sure they'd be more than happy to do so."
"In fact, we know they would be," Juliet said. "We already asked them if they would."
"Well, girls, I must compliment you. You have thought up the perfect proposal. Tomorrow, I'll ask Ginny if she and Callie will join me for a picnic in Italy on Valentine's Day."
"Yeah!" Maria squealed. "I knew this was a good plan."
"I'm so glad I spent all this time coming up with it," Juliet said. "It is the perfect plan; she's bound to say yes."
"I'm so glad we told you about this, Professor Wood," Nicole said. "I'm so glad we could help you."
"Help him with what?" Ginny asked from the doorway where she had suddenly appeared.
"The girls have been helping me try to figure out what to get Callie for her birthday. However, we decided we want it to be a surprise for both of you," Oliver told her, walking over to her and kissing her.
"I just popped in to see if you knew when and where the next staff meeting is," Ginny told him.
"It's tomorrow at eight in the staff lounge."
"Thank you," she replied, kissing him. "Good night, Oliver. Good night, Juliet, Nicole, and Maria. I'll see you all in the morning."
"Good night," they all called after her.
After she was out of earshot, Juliet said, "You know, in a way it is a birthday present for Callie, an early present at least."
A/N: I'M BACK!!! It took me weeks and weeks to write this chapter. I'm so glad it's done. Please review and let me know how you liked it. Also, if you enjoy Katie Bell/Oliver Wood, check out my other HP fic When You See a Guy Reach For Stars in the Sky. I love everyone who reviews.
