Chapter 6
Harry, Ginny and Lizzy spent four days with Charlie and the dragons and decided to come home, so Ginny could get some rest before she had to start training. When they got back to Marauders Inn, Ginny flooed her mom to let her know they were home and safe. Molly asked if they wanted to come for dinner and Ginny declined but told her they would the next night. Ginny walked into the kitchen to see if Harry and Lizzy were there, they were not, but Ron and Hermione were fighting. Ginny quietly walked out and found Harry in the library.
"Hey I told mum we would come for dinner tomorrow night. I hope that was okay." Harry smiled and motioned for her to come sit next to him on the couch. "That's fine. Lizzy went to shower, then she was going to bed. She said she was beat. I told her we would come say goodnight in about half and hour." Ginny nodded and curled up and rested her head on his chest. "She really is a wonderful kid. I am glad that we decided to adopt her." Harry kissed Ginny's head and said, "So am I. How bout we ask your mum if she can keep her tomorrow night. You and I can come back here after dinner and have a quiet evening just the two of us?" Ginny looked up and kissed Harry, "That sounds good. Hey do you know what Ron and Hermione were fighting about?"
Harry let out a snort, "Nope, I heard them yelling and stayed out of the way." Ginny laughed, "Yeah, I walked into the kitchen and then slowly backed out. I will go find Hermione and find out what is wrong after we say goodnight to Lizzy." Lizzy walked into the library. She had tears in her eyes. Both Harry and Ginny jumped up and went to Lizzy. Harry took her into a hug, "Lizzy what's wrong?" Lizzy pulled back and looked from Harry to Ginny then back to Harry. "I went into the kitchen after I got out of the shower, I was going to get something to drink. Uncle Ron and Aunt Mione were arguing when I walked in. Uncle Ron said something about kids, and then Aunt Mione yelled at him saying that she didn't want kids, she said that kids would only ruin things for them. I don't think they knew I was there. I ran out as soon as I her say that." Lizzy looked again from Harry to Ginny then back to Harry. "Did I ruin things for you dad. Are you sure that you and mom want me? Am I going to make you two fight like that?" Then Lizzy burst into tears and clung to Harry. Harry just hugged Lizzy for a few minutes then looked at Ginny. Ginny was bright red with anger.
Ginny calmed herself down so she could talk to Lizzy. She got down on her knees and pried her off of Harry. Ginny took Lizzy by the arms and looked into her eyes. "Lizzy, I want you to listen to me okay." Lizzy nodded and wiped the tears of her face. "Your dad and I chose to adopt you. It was a choice that we made together. We both love you very much and nothing can change that. There is no way you could possibly ever ruin things for us. Adopting you brought us closer to each other and to you. Now I can't promise that your dad and I will never fight, because ever couple has those moments, but I can promise that we will never fight because of the choice we made to adopt you. Do you understand?" Lizzy nodded and Ginny pulled her into a hug. "Now you go with your dad and get into bed and I am going to go talk to your aunt and uncle. When I am done I will bring you something to drink and say goodnight. Okay. I love you and don't you ever forget that." Lizzy smiled and said, "I know. I love you too."
While Harry took Lizzy to her room, Ginny went to find her brother and Hermione. They were still in the kitchen fighting. Ginny pulled out her wand and pointed it at the two of the and said, "Silencio" Immediately they went quiet and after a moment they realized they could not hear each other. They turned to look at Ginny, whose wand was still pointed at them. Ginny was furious, she let out a breath and said, "You two will listen to me before I take the spell off of you." The both nodded. "Lizzy walked in here while you were arguing and heard you say that kids would ruin your lives," Hermione covered her mouth in shock, "Now I don't care about what you were arguing about at this minute, we will discuss that later, right now you two are going to go in there and apologize to Lizzy, she thinks that she is going to ruin mine and Harry's lives now. We already told her that was not true. You will tell her that you are sorry and that you didn't mean it. Do you understand?" They nodded. "If you ever do anything to make my daughter cry again I will hurt you, you got it. Now I don't want to hear a single word out of you but what I told you to say to Lizzy. After she is asleep we will then talk about this." They nodded. Ginny did the counter, so they could talk again, but neither one dared to say anything yet. Ginny walked to the refrigerator and took got some water for Lizzy and said, "Follow me."
