A/N the very first post was the first book- so to say-I decided to post individual chapters. There are several books in my little series. It will follow the lives of Harry, Ginny, Hermione and Ron. Please keep reviewing. I am a hopeless romantic, so there isn't too much action, but hopefully you will enjoy.
Chapter 2
Mrs. Weasley came in and sat down, "Now listen Harry, I will talk to you about this, but you need to understand that if you get angry, you need to try to calm yourself before you speak. I will not tolerate being hollered at. Do you understand?" "Yes. I am sorry. It just took me by surprise. I just want to make Ginny my wife as soon as possible and" Mrs. Weasley stopped him, "Listen Harry, Like Arthur and I told you, when you asked us if you could ask Ginny to marry you, we know you love each other very much. We do want for you to make Ginny your wife. We are not trying to stop that." "But then why do we have to wait?" asked Harry.
"Harry, Ginny is our only daughter. Although it may not sound right, but we have higher standards for her. She is young. We want for her to have a career. We do not want for her to get married and get caught up in the family aspect of it before she has a chance to work." "Okay I get that, but why don't you hold that same standard for Ron?" "Well the reason is simple Harry. Hermione does not want a family right away. She wants to start training for her career. I know that Ron may not know what he wants to do, but I believe that Hermione will be able to help him with that before they get married."
Harry was stunned, "So you think that I don't have Ginny's best interest at heart?" "Oh no, Harry," Mrs. Weasley said. "We know that you do have her best interest at heart." "But," Harry asked. "But," Mrs. Weasley said, "so do we. I know that you don't understand this harry. But maybe one day, when you have a daughter, you will then understand. Just please trust us on this, and try not to be angry." Harry wasn't sure about this, "Well I guess I don't really have choice, do I." Mrs. Weasley frowned, "Oh Harry, you always have a choice." Harry nodded, he had to go apologize to Ron.
Harry went upstairs and knocked on Ron's door. "Hey Ron it's Harry. Can I come in?" Hermione opened the door and didn't look pleasant. "This better be good," she said. Harry nodded, "Listen Ron, I am sorry for what I said. I was just angry. I should not have said that. I know that we haven't rally had time to think about what we want to do. I mean what, with fighting Voldermort, " Harry looked at Hermione, "and, well having the loves of our lives standing besides us all summer." At this, Hermione seemed to loosen up a bit. Ron looked up, "Harry, it is not really what you said. I just thought that you would have been happy for us."
Harry was shocked. He thought for sure that Ron was mad at him, "Ron, of course I am happy for you. You two are my best friends." "Really?" asked Ron. "Yeah, really." said Harry, "Look I am sorry I didn't seem happy for you. I was just taken by surprise when Hermione said you were getting married over the winter holidays. That is really soon." Ron looked up, and to Harry's amusement he looked terrified, "I know." Hermione came over to join them, "I know it is soon Harry, but we wanted for Ginny to be in the wedding, of course. We figured that when she got done with school she would want to plan her own wedding, not mine."
Harry smiled weakly, "Yeah, but it will be a couple years before our wedding. We both have to be working first. I promised your parents," he said to Ron, who looked stunned. "I don't believe that," said Ron "I can't really imagine Ginny waiting." "Yeah, well, I don't want to wait," said Harry, "but your parents think it is for the best. So I agreed." Hermione knew all of this but didn't say anything about it. "So Harry," Hermione finally said, "Are you going to help us get things ready for our wedding, or do we need to knock some more sense into you." Harry laughed, "Yes I will help."
