Chapter 20: Sick the Dragons onto them...

Ginny walked into her bedroom closely followed by Herminoe. She slumped onto her bed thinking about the conversation she had just had with her parents. Hermione sat on the edge of her own bed and let out a large sigh. " Well that went better than I expected. They seemed to have taken it well"

"I don't think so Hermione. I think they are still in shock. It should be interesting when I tell my brothers. They will go mental!" Ginny let out a nervous giggle.

"What about Harry? He'll have to know soon. Will you tell him when your brothers are told?"

"No! I want to tell him soon and in private." Ginny glared at Hermione, smiled then threw a pillow at her.

"OK, OK! I get the point!" Hermione paused, "So when are you going to tell your brothers?"

"Hopefully tomorrow. They all should be here for Easter. Plus it will give mum and dad time for the news to sink in. They'll need it." Ginny giggled nervously again.

"They will all be fine. Surely your brothers will be reasonable, mature adults about it?" Hermione asked, trying to reassure herself.

Ginny let out a short laugh as she summoned her pillow back towards herself, "You are talking about the Weasley boys aren't you?"

"Point taken" Hermione said pensively. "I think I might she what Harry and Ron are up to."

"Sure. I think I might have a rest." Ginny got under her blankets and slowly drifted off to sleep.

Hemione smiled and began to make her way to the boys room. She knocked gently.

"Come in" Hermione heard Ron's unmistakable mumble.

"Hi Ron, Harry. What's wrong?" Hermione asked as she looked back and forth from Ron and Harry. Ron's face was bright red and Harry seemed like he was going to burst.

"Nothing is wrong. I'm just angry that my own sister can trust you but not trust me!" Ron yelled.

"If you must know, it's not something she felt comfortable talking to you about!" Hermione replied, "Anyway, you'll find out tomorrow"

"Hmmmm"

"I'm going to see Buckbeak" Harry finually spoke. He walked out of the bedroom and into Beaky's room. Harry bowed then he began to stroke Beaky gently.

Harry sat back against the wall feeding Buckbeak dead rats while he thought. I still didn't know how he felt about what he had just overheard but his main worry was that she must of felt that he wasn't important enough to tell him the whole truth. He was sick of secrets from everyone.

The next day arrived and by 11am number 12 Grimmauld Place was full of red heads. For lunch Mrs Weasley out done herself by magicing a huge feast that could of fed a small country. She had also cooked a few cakes and chocolates that she made the muggle way. Ginny thought her mother was doing this just to keep herself busy. Ginny walked past the kitchen earlier and heard her mother mumbling repeatingly, "this can't be happening. It's just a dream" Ginny wished it was all a long bad dream that she would be waking up from any moment now and she would be back in her room on Christmas Eve.

After the feast was finished and everyone was considerably fuller, Mr Weasley cleared his throat until everyone at the table was staring back at him.He slowly removed his glasses, cleaned them with his hankie then placed them back upon his face. Mr Weasley cleared his throat again and took a deep breath in, "I think we should have a Weasley family meeting. I'm sorry arry and Hermione, is it ok if you went to your room?"

Harry looked at Ginny who looked down at her hand. He then looked at Hermione who was half way out the door.

"Harry?" Hermione said as she turned back to face him "Are you coming?"

Harry seemed to ignore Hermione. He didn't know why he ws still sitting there, all he knew was he wanted to talk to Ginny.

"Please Harry" Ginny asked. Harry looked up at her and saw a pleading look on her face. He nodded back at her and left the room with Hermione.

Ginny shook his head. Mr Weasley then closed the door and put an Imperturbable charm around the room.

"Well, what's the meeting about dad?" Charlie asked

Mr Weasley looked at Ginny "Do you want to tell them or will I?" Mr Weasley asked

"Can you do it?"

"Ok sweetie. Now boys I need you to understand..."

Meanwhile in Harry's room...

Harry began to pace the room again. He looked at Hermione and finually burst. "I'M SICK OF THIS! DOESN'T SHE TRUST ME? AM I NOT IMPORTANT ENOUGH TO KNOW?"

"Harry, she will tell you soon enough when she is ready-" Hermione replied

"I already know Hermione. Fred and George got out the extendable ears out and we heard it. I know what's wrong. I know she is pregnant!"

"Harry! How could you?"

"HOW COULD I? I WAS SICK OF NOT KNOWING! AND NOW I'M SICK OF FINDING OUT SECOND HAND! THAT GINNY DOES'T TRUST ME! THAT SHE DOESN'T CARE!"

"That's enough! She was going to tell you on your on but she was scared. She thought that you would never..." Hermione paused

"That I wouldn't what?"

"That with this baby, you would never love her like she loves you!" Hermione stopped and covered her mouth.

Harry stopped pacing and faced Hermione. He thought for a moment about how he did feel. He smiled and released that he still had feelings for her even with this baby on the way.

"Well?" Hermione asked

Harry smiled again "I think I still like her, even with everything going on"

Hermione looked at him and smiled "Do you feel better now?"

"What do you mean?"

"Do you feel better letting that off your chest finually"

"I think so" Harry said as he lent back onto his bed...

Back in the dining room...

Ginny looked back and forth from each of her brothers after the news was delivered. Bill seemed furious but he was also the first one to give Ginny a hug. Charlie seemed to change colour in his face from bright red to pale white. Percy, who had apologised to his family repeatingly for choosing the minister of magic over them and who his parents had forgave, seemed stunned. Fred and Geoge both were taking the news extremely well but was still staring at Ginny. Ron on the other hand was clenching his fists and hs face was a pretty shade of red.

Bill finually broke the silence, "Charlie?" Charlie looked up at Bill, "I think you should sick all of your dragons onto Dean and Malfoy!"

"We do have some really big ones that could do away with them both." Charlie replied

Fred and George laughed "We have some new products that we could use of them" George said

"Yeah, I can think of a few really good products for situations like this" Fred added.

"I hope Dumbledore will be seriously punishing this boys."

"We will punish them enough once we are through with them!" George replied

Ginny let out a nervous laugh. She looked towards Ron, who hadn't said anything.

"Ron?" Ginny asked

"I'm going to kill them! How dare them! They will both pay!" Ron finually answered.

Ginny stood up and walked up to her youngest brother, "It's ok Ron."

"No it isn't Ginny! I should of protected you. This should never of happened!"

"But it has and now we have to deal with what to do now"

Mrs Weasley smiled and hugged her daughter, crying "My baby has grown up!"
