1Jamie stood by Ron's hospital bed and listened to her Uncle Ron and Aunt Hermione bicker with each other. She was not entirely sure what they were arguing about. It seemed to have something to do with Ron wanting to go home and Hermione wanting him to stay at the hospital a little longer. Whatever it was, though, it kept them from noticing that Arthur, Molly, Fred, and George were having a whispered conversation on the other side of the room. From the look on George's face, Jamie assumed they were telling him about Jason's dad. The group soon made their way over to the bed and joined Jason and Jamie in watching Ron and Hermione.

Hermione finally noticed that they had an audience and looked up. She smiled sheepishly at everyone, "Hi, we were just discussing something."

Ron snorted and earned himself a glare from his wife. He looked at Fred and smirked, "So, I happened to pick up a copy of Witches Weekly and imagine my surprise at the cover." Fred abruptly reached for the magazine in Ron's hand. His twin, however, was quicker.

"Accio magazine," George quickly uttered. The magazine flew to his hand, much to Jason's shock. "Well, what have we here? I do have to say the gentleman on the cover is quite handsome," he stated. Fred's face, which was identical to his with the exception of the scar on his own cheek, smiled and winked from the cover. He continued to read the magazine cover as Fred blushed, "Most Eligible Wizard, hey, maybe you won't be the famous last Weasley bachelor for much longer." He nudged his twin in the ribs and grinned at him.

"Aw, shut up," Fred muttered. "And give me that," he snatched the magazine from George before he could open it and find the article, "I only agreed to do it because they promised to give us free advertising for the store."

"Don't worry, George, I made sure to get several copies. I'll give you one later," Ron reassured George.

George grinned and told Ron, "Thanks, mate. I'll owe you one."

Fred snarled at his brothers and plopped into the chair next to the one Hermione was sitting in.

Hermione decided to save Fred from the teasing of his brothers and asked Jamie, "Where's your mum, Jae?"

Jamie looked to her grandparents and uncles for help in answering the question. She was not sure what to tell her aunt. Molly answered the question for her granddaughter, "Ginny's talking to Jason's father. They will join us in a moment, I'm sure."

Hermione perked up at the answer. Jamie knew that her aunt had been trying to get Ginny to start dating again. But Ginny always had an excuse not to. She used her work and her daughter as excuses but everyone knew the real reason was that she had never fully believed Harry was not coming back. Jamie thought to herself that now it looked like her mum may have been right not to give up hope.
Molly continued, "Actually there is something we need to tell you before they do join us."

"Is something wrong, mum?" Ron asked his mother with a worried look on his face.

Arthur stepped forward to try and explain everything they knew. He took a deep breath and told them, "Ron, Hermione, I'm not sure how to tell you this because I don't really understand it myself but Jason's dad appears to be someone we know."

Hermione looked at her father-in-law and asked, "What do you mean by appears to be someone we know? I mean wouldn't he either be someone we know or not?"

"Well, dear, we thought we would never see this person again."

Hermione suddenly gasped and stared at Jason. She then looked back at Arthur and exclaimed, "It can't be, can it? Oh, this is amazing. But how?" She jumped up and threw her arms around her husband and sobbed happy tears on his shoulder.

Ron looked at everyone else over the top of her head. "What is she talking about? Who is it?" He looked perplexed as he tried to figure out what was going on.

"Ron, don't be stupid. Look at Jason and think about who he reminds you of. Even I figured this one out," George told his younger brother.

It took a moment but everyone, even Jason, laughed at the look on Ron's face when he finally did figure it out. "But, that's not possible. I mean that just can't be. Whoa, oh man. Bloody hell!" he stammered.

"That's just what I said," Fred exclaimed. "But I saw him with my own two eyes and trust me, it's got to be him. And he recognized Ginny."

"We don't have any idea how it's possible but it certainly seems to be real," Arthur continued. "All I know is that there are a lot of questions to be answered and I'm not sure who to ask for the answers."

"Perhaps I can answer some of your questions," a raven-haired woman said from near the doorway.

"Aunt Lori!" Jason hollered and ran to hug the woman.

The woman smiled warmly at Jason and hugged him back. "Hey, kid. It's so good to see you. I've missed you," she told him as she ruffled his already messy hair.

Jason grabbed her hand and pulled her into the room. He dragged her over to Jamie and said, "Aunt Lori, this is my new friend Jamie."
"Its very nice to meet you, Jamie," she shook Jamie's hand and then addressed the adults in the room, "You must be the Weasleys"

"You know them, Aunt Lori," Jason inquired.

"I know of them," she replied.

Arthur stepped towards her and spoke, "Yes, we are, or at least we are some of the Weasleys. I'm---," before he could finish she interrupted him.

"Wait, let me guess. You, sir, must be Arthur," she grasped his hand and continued, "it is quite an honor to meet you." She looked to his wife standing next to him, "And are you Molly? You are my mother's idol, there are five of us and she always said that you must be a great woman to have raised seven kids and for them all to turn out so wonderful."

Molly blushed, "Thank you, dear. That is such a nice thing to say."

Jason looked at her with a very confused look. She quickly and quietly told him she would explain later.

Lori then looked towards the bed and addressed Ron, "I know that you are the famous Cannon keeper, Ron "the King" Weasley. My family and I are all huge Quidditch fans. My oldest brother is a beater for the Boston Bolts. I think your team played his last year in an exhibition match."

"He wouldn't be Ryan Montgomery, would he?" Ron asked her. At her nod, he continued, "He took out our best chaser two minutes into the game."

"That sounds like Ryan. Believe it or not he is a very nice guy. He just gets a little vicious when he has a beater's bat in his hand." She giggled at the look on Ron's face.

She looked to the woman sitting next to Ron's bed, "You have got to be Hermione. I've heard wonderful things about your primary school. I would love to visit it while I'm here if that's possible. A friend of mine is trying to start one in the States and she'll kill me if I come home without checking it out."

Hermione beamed with pride, "Of course, I would love to show you the school. And if your friend needs any help getting started, I would be more than happy to help in anyway I can."

Lori then turned to the last two in the room, "You two must be the Weasley twins of Weasley's Wizarding Wheezes. But you'll need to help me with out with which of you is Fred and which is George."

Fred quickly jumped up to make the introductions but tripped over his own feet. Arthur caught him before he fell on his face. He blushed up to the tips of his ears. When he finally regained his balance, he looked at Lori, "I'm Fred and this is my George, twin. I mean this is my twin, George." He was now blushing so hard, his face took on a purplish hue.

Lori giggled again at one of the Wesley brothers. She gave Fred a hug, which caused him to turn even harder. "You are absolutely adorable!"

George rose and stood next to his twin, "That's what I always say about him." He reached over to pinch Fred's cheeks.

Fred slapped his brother's hands away and grumbled, "Cut it out!"

George laughed and then faced Lori, "It's nice to meet you. I'm sorry but I didn't catch your name?"

"Oh, I'm sorry. That would be a nice thing to tell you. It's Loraine Montgomery, but please call me Lori."

"What? Your name is Lori Palmer. What are you talking about Aunt Lori?"

She started to answer Jason but was interrupted when the door opened and man with a long white beard entered the room. "Lori, it's wonderful to see you dear. How is your family? Did you have a good trip?"

Once again she was interrupted before she could answer. This time by a loud crash.
