A/N: And here it is: another chapter of I Think We're Alone Now by Lia06! I still don't own Harry Potter but I got over that. Aren't you happy for me? Now here's a real reason you should be happy for me. Right now, I'm at my sister and brother-in-law's house. My sister, Charlotte, and I are supposed to be cleaning the house but we're not. Charlie's out running and I'm writing this for you guys. Now you might ask why I'm cleaning my sister's house. I will answer that for you. My sister had a baby on Friday and she's coming home today; so is the baby. Yes, I have a nephew, an adorable little guy with hazel eyes and brown hair, named James Andrew. Now, to my reviewers:

Lost Angel92: Welcome to my story! Thanks for reviewing! I hope you keep reading.

Dark Zelda: Ah, one of my most consistent reviewers! I'm so glad you like that line. I wrote it because whenever I tell my guy friends that I want to have kids, my friend John looks at me and says, "Talk to your husband about that on your wedding night."

Riley: I'm so happy that this is one of your favorite stories! That always makes me happy when people tell me that they like my stories. I hope you like this chapter! I agree: Oliver is the best.

TardyChick06: I'm so glad you liked this chapter. Is this soon enough of an update? I'm praying for you guys.

Atomic Elf: I love your story! It's so cool. I just had to mention it. Thanks for understanding that I'm up to my neck in being busy. (Thankfully, my sister doesn't have me pegged as a future babysitter.) I think I will read some of your other stories, when I have time of course.

Lily Nicole Potter: Nicole "Nikki" Green it is, then. I'm so happy you loved this chapter. I loved it to, I must admit.

Sarahamanda: Thanks for reviewing!

Son gomay vidal goku: I'm so happy they're back together too. They're having a boy, a nice little boy who will have red hair and green eyes and be named something nice but not James Andrew

To everyone: In case you guys can't tell, I'm absolutely nuts about my nephew. I know I have an eight-month-old baby sister at home but James is so sweet. My little brother is almost three, so Sophia needs another baby to compete with her for cuteness.

And on with the story if I haven't bored you all to death and scared you all away with my ramblings…

The next Saturday, Oliver, Ginny, and Callie had to go to the Weasley home for a family dinner. Normally, Hogwarts staff didn't leave the area during weekends but this was a special emergency. Percy and Penny were going to the Weasley home to announce their reconciliation and Penny's pregnancy. Penny had told Ginny that it was important she and Oliver were there when Penny and Percy announced that she was pregnant. "I'm scared of how they'll react," she had written. "What if they accuse me of having an affair?"

"It's Percy who had an affair, not her," Oliver had remarked when he read the letter. "Everyone in the family knows that. She shouldn't worry about that. Your mother is sympathetic to her. And everyone else is so mad at Percy that they'll have to be nice to her. I mean, Katie said that Fred wants to kill him for what he's put your mother through."

Ginny had just nodded. Her father and brothers were really mad at Percy. They had told her that they were through with his little act. They were sick of him leaving the family and coming back over and over again. "He can't keep doing this to Mum," Charlie had written to Ginny. "He just can't keep toying with her emotions. She loves him but he keeps leaving the family. Honestly, I don't know why Mum and Dad don't just give up and disown him."

When Oliver, Ginny, and Callie arrived at the Weasley home that Saturday, some of her brothers were there; others weren't. Fred, a very pregnant Katie, and their three munchkins were there. Ron was there, as were Harry, Hermione, Lily, James, and Sirius. George and Alicia were there with John, Michael (I think that's his name), Rebecca, and Elizabeth. Charlie and Maya were going to be there soon as were Bill and Angelina. Percy and Penny were sitting by themselves, apart from everyone else, like they were unsure whether or not they were in the right place.

When Oliver and Ginny walked in, Katie waddled over to them. And waddled was the only word to describe the way the seven months pregnant with a boy woman was walking. "Ginny, you've got to do something to help. Your brothers and your father are treating Percy like he's the plague. Your mother is hiding in the kitchen because she's not sure whether she's supposed to be glad that they're back or not. The tension in this house is so thick you can almost see it and I'm positive you could cut it with a knife."

Ginny hugged her sister-in-law. "I'll see what I can do. How are Harry and Hermione doing with it? Are they helping at all?"

"Actually, they are," Katie nodded. "They took the children into another room to quiet things down a bit. Or maybe it was to keep the younger children from finding out how insane this family really is."

Ginny smiled. "I think I'll take Callie to them and then help you and Alicia with the children. I might have some ideas as to how to deal with everyone. By the way, where are Harry and Hermione?"

"They're in the room off the kitchen. I hope your ideas will work; someone has to do something to fix everything that Percy has messed up in this family."

Ginny just nodded as she took her daughter to the Potters. She knew only too well how much Percy had destroyed in their family. He had publicly told people that his father was insane. Some days, Ginny found herself wishing that there had only been six children in the Weasley family: Bill, Charlie, Fred, George, Ron, and her. Why did Percy have to be a pompous jerk all the time?

"Are you all right, Ginny?" Hermione Granger-Potter asked as Ginny walked into the room, snapping her out of her thoughts.

"What?" Ginny asked, looking around.

"Are you all right, Ginny? You seem a little distracted," Hermione told her.

"Just frustrated with Percy," she sighed. "He's destroying this family. He doesn't even see it but he is. He's ripping Mum's heart to shreds and he doesn't see what his actions do to her. He's ruining Mum and Dad's marriage. I can't stand watching him come and go as he pleases in his relationship with Mum and Dad. None of us children were ever particularly close to him but it still hurts when he leaves the family because he's more interested in other things."

Percy Weasley heard his sister talking to Hermione. The words "He's destroying this family. He's doesn't even see it but he is" rung in his ears. Was it true? Was he ripping his family apart? Was he ruining his parents' marriage? He'd never noticed that their marriage was any different now than it had been when he was living at home but that was what Ginny had said about him. "He doesn't see it."

He went into the living room where Fred and Oliver were playing Exploding Snap and Penny was reading a book. He looked pointedly at his brother and his friend. "Are Mum and Dad having problems with their marriage?"

Oliver stared at him and Fred rolled his eyes. "You're joking, right?" Fred asked. "Since Christmas, they've stopped sleeping in the same bedroom. They barely speak to each other. You'd never know they were married except they live in the same house. And you want to know how they got to be that way? Because they fight every day, they fight about you. Dad wants to disinherit you; Mum wants to give you another chance."

"So they're thinking about divorcing?" Percy asked, suddenly concern filling his soul.

Oliver nodded sadly. "Your mother has the papers in her dresser, all filled out. All she has to do is file them if things go from bad to worse."

"And I'm the reason they're falling apart?" Percy asked hesitantly, not sure he wanted to hear the answer. He knew the answer would be painful.

"Yes," Fred said coldly. "You're the reason this family is falling apart."

"The family is falling apart?" Percy was dumbfounded. (A/N: I've never understood that word.) "What on earth do you mean? How is the family falling apart?"

"Some of us are siding with Mum, some with Dad, and Ron's in the middle."

"Who is with Mum?" Percy wanted to know who his "allies" were.

"Charlie and George," Fred reported. "Bill, Ginny, and I are on Dad's side."

"And Charlie and George are with your mum not because they support you but because they support Penny," Oliver added. "They want to help her. Ginny wants to help her too, but she's so pissed at you…" his voice just trailed off.

Percy found himself just staring at his brother and his sister's boyfriend. His family was falling apart because he had spent all his life taking it for granted that they would always be there for him. He loved his family but he had spent his life taking them for granted. But he was starting to find out that if you wanted people to be there for you, then you had to be there for them. He hadn't been there for them when Ginny had been raped. When his wife had insulted his family, he hadn't backed them up; he'd backed her up. This was seriously starting to screw his life up. He was losing his friends and family because he'd always been in search of power and escaping his family's "weirdness." But now he saw that it wasn't they who were weird but rather everyone else. If they were insane, then the rest of the world was truly mad.

"Maybe I shouldn't have come back at Christmastime," Percy whispered. "Maybe I should have just stayed away from the family and then Mum and Dad wouldn't be falling apart. I wish I wasn't causing everyone so much trouble. I wish I wasn't screwing up my family. Oliver, how can I fix everything I've done?"

"Once an action has been done, undone it cannot be," Ginny said from the doorway. "Once a wound has been inflicted, it may heal but will always leave a scar. Once a word has been spoken, you can never take it back."

Percy looked at his sister in the doorway acting like Professor Trelawney. Oliver shrugged and clapped Percy on the shoulder. "She's right, you know. You can't completely take away what you did to your family. You can apologize but things will never be quite the same."

"Tell me what to do," Percy pleaded. "Tell me how I can help my family. They've helped me with everything and I've never helped them with anything. They've always been there waiting in the wings for me; maybe it's time I was there for them."

"You're damn right it's time you were here for your family," Fred stated coldly. "You want to know how to make things better? Start by apologizing to Mum and Dad for leaving the family when Mum and Dad believed Voldemort was back but you didn't because the people with power didn't believe Voldemort was back. Apologize for all the times you insulted the family."

"Apologize," Ginny cut in. "Apologize for making Mum cry herself to sleep at nights because her son hated her. Apologize for making Dad wonder if you were dead. Apologize for only acknowledging us 'morons and blundering fools' when it suited you or was advantageous to your career. Stop making stupid mistakes, Percy! Apologize for everything you did wrong and promise that you'll try harder. That's what Mum and Dad need. They need their whole family united in love. You have to stick with the family in good and bad if you want to help Mum and Dad."

Percy looked at his brother and sister. What they were asking was going to be hard for him. He'd always put his career first, Penny second, and the Weasley clan third. "I don't know if I can do that," he mumbled.

"You don't know if you can do what?" Bill barked fiercely. Percy noticed that his two older brothers were also in the room, their wives and children with them. "You don't know if you can be a part of this family? Is that it?"

Percy saw fire in Bill's eyes, the same fire that was fiercely burning in the eyes of every other person over the age of twenty in the room except his wife. "I don't know. I just don't know anymore. I just want to get back into this family."

Six long hours later, the Weasley siblings emerged from a meeting with Percy. They had laid down the rules for "readmittance" to the family. He had to go through "trials" and "experiments" and he feared that most of those would come from the minds of Fred and George. It might take him years to be fully a member of the family again but it was better than life without them.

Of course, little did he know that Bill and Charlie planned to hit him over the dead with a two by four, as one of the trials.

A/N: Okay, this took me exactly a week to write. My nephew is nine days old now. Please review! I know there wasn't much Oliver/Ginny action but there'll be more in the next chapter. I also know this isn't as long as normal but that's purely because I just wanted to get this one up for you guys. Now I'm off to watch To Catch a Thief with my sisters and sister-in-law.
