DISCLAIMER: Yeah, I own a pencil, shampoo I bought last night on a wild excursion to Wally World Super Sized, my watch, but not Harry Potter.
AllisonCarroll: I just realized I did forget that Ginny and Tim have parted ways, signed on the dotted lines and both moved on. I'll try to mention that in this story. I put Hermione and Fred together cause I just don't really like it when they put Harry/Hermione or Ron/Hermione, cause it leaves the other out in the cold. Plus I thought of u know, "Opposites Attract" and I think Fred is a cool character.
Ms Ronupert Grint: Thanks a lot. That's so nice! Looks to the world "Everyone! This is a very nice person!"
yourheartsdesire: You catch on quickly. I had Ginny mention something and it hinted quite a bit towards that. Go back and check. It's just like a little two-word sentence in a Ginny dialog. You are the first that picked that up.
petroleumjellydotone: Maybe this'll explain why she ran off.
soccer101: sees bright purple light AAAAAAAH! I've been hexed! Okay, I'm good now. Here's your update, though very short. I'll try to write tomorrow. Businesses are closed so I can't go sell my ads tomorrow. Arthur's might be… Sorry I ramble. Thank's for reviewing. I am a little shocked you had Malfoy curse me though. Though, which Malfoy would that be? I think Draco's pretty cute. And he's an awesome character. Now I can understand if you have his father curse me. I will let you know though. The curse I got hit with, whoever did it, it was one of the worst curses out there "scriptor confuto" or translated: writer stops. I have writer's block. And as my computer wouldn't translate block, I used stop. I'm sorry. You've hit me with the Writer's Block curse and I am unable to write a very good chapter. This should wear off soon. Thanks for the help! (BTW, my friend loves soccer).

Chapter 6: Her friend in disbelief
---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---
"Hermione! When will you at least tell me who you're always going to see? And why are they so important that we have to put the wedding off until they decide to come see us? Why won't they just come talk to us? It's not like it's someone like coming back from the dead! That's impossible. So Hermione. Have you looked at those churches I showed you?"
Fred and Hermione were looking at each other one evening for dinner. They were having dinner later than usual because Hermione knew that Harry had to ask Ginny something that night and she wanted to give him time before she went over there that night.
"Fred, just trust me. I've got everything worked out. Now if I didn't I wouldn't be Hermione would I? Look, at ten I have to go. My friend is, er, asking the other friend something and I want to give them space." Hermione got up and started cleaning the table. "Let's get to the best part of planning the wedding, deciding where to go on the honeymoon." Hermione leaned over to kiss Fred and he reciprocated deepening the kiss. Ten minutes later, the door burst open and Ron flew in looking bewildered.
"Hermione! Emergency! Gin! Proposed! Sick!" Ron was walking around yelling as she got up to go and calm him down.
"What? Repeat that. What did you say?"
"Hermione. It's an emergency. He proposed to uh, her. Now she's sick. Throwing up madly. He called for help. We need to go right now."
"Poor guy." This time it was Fred talking, "This guy proposed to his girlfriend and instead of accepting, she got sick. Wait. Before you go. Did you say her name was Gin? As in Ginny?" Fred looked at the two who were bewildered. At that moment they disapparated to Ginny and Harry's flat.
---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---
"Ron! We're in here. She's just finished." Ron and Hermione walked to the back room where they followed Harry's voice. They walked in their bedroom to find the two sitting on the edge of the bed with Harry stroking her hair while she drank what looked like Sprite or another clear liquid. "Thanks for coming. I knew you two were coming later, but I didn't know what to do. She just got up and ran. I don't know what's wrong with her."
"Hey Ginny." Hermione walked up to Ginny and gave her a quick hug. "How are you feeling? Harry, do you mind if I take her to the other room to talk to her. Ron's got something he wants to tell you." Hermione took Ginny's arm and walked with her out of the room to the living room.
"Harry, uh, before we left. I accidentally said 'Gin' in front of Fred. We think he might have figured out that we were going to see someone named Ginny. He looked scared when he saw our shocked faces. We sort of gave it away when we looked at each other and left. I just don't know what to do. What if he goes and tells mum or George or someone finds out? What if everyone finds out before you tell them? Uh-oh! I better get back!"
"Ron stop it. Go back and bring Fred here. It's better if I tell him myself than him finding out and telling the others. Go!" Harry looked as if he was going to be sick himself when Ginny and Hermione walked back in.
"Where's Ron going?" Ginny went and took the seat next to Harry and he kissed her lightly on the forehead as he put his arm around her. Hermione took that as an unintentional hint and left muttering something about needing coffee. Lot's and lot's of coffee.
"Yes." Harry looked at Ginny as if she was crazy.
"Uh, Ginny? I didn't say anything."
"Oh, no. I mean yes. To your question. You know, the one you asked earlier. Right before I ran away and got sick. Yes. I do want to marry you." Harry and Ginny smiled at each other as he pulled the ring back out of his pocket and placed it on her finger before engaging in a long, passionate kiss. "But there's something you should know-" Ginny never got to finish her sentence because at that moment a loud crash was heard from the living room. The two got up and started walking carefully to the front of the flat.
"Bloody hell Ron! Where are we? Who lives here?" Ginny gasped as she heard her brother's voice just twenty feet away.
"Fred calm down. It's okay." This time it was Hermione's time to talk. "Fred. Please, don't be mad. We would've told you sooner, but the two people that live here, they asked us not to tell anyone. Not until they were ready. And if I'm correct, they are waiting just around that corner." All eyes turned towards the corner where two shadows could be seen. "I'll go and check and see whether or not they want to come out."
Before Hermione got to the hall, Harry and Ginny stepped out willingly. Harry looked at Ginny who looked back at him. Then the two of them looked at Fred who stared at them as if he was seeing ghosts. As the three of them stared at each other Hermione and Ron were looking back and forth from the couple to Fred and back. Fred looked at this woman, his little sister.
"Ginny? Harry? Bu-bu-but. But you two are s-s-supposed to be d-d-dead. What's going on?" Fred lifted his gaze from Ginny and Harry to Ron and Hermione who were grinning madly. "And you two? You knew about this? How long? And you didn't tell me? I feel betrayed." Fred looked hurt, turned around, causing Ginny to step forward before he quickly turned around and ran to embrace his younger sister who he had missed for the past eight and a half years.
"Fred! I missed you so much!" Fred continued holding his sister for what seemed like eternity until he noticed Harry and moved to his friend to embrace him in another hug, just not as long as Ginny's.
"Ginny. Harry. Wow. You have no…idea…" Fred's thoughts strayed off as he looked down and noticed the ring displayed on Ginny's finger. "ENGAGED? You two? Congratulations!" Fred gave his sister another large hug before he gave Harry a pat on the back.
"Actually. Uh Fred? Guys. I think you all need to sit down." Ginny looked at Harry, who had a confused look on his face, and moved over to the chair where Ginny sat and Harry sat on the arm. The other three moved and sat on the couch. Fred put his arm around Hermione as they sat together for the first time in the presence of Harry and Ginny.
"Okay, so yeah. Fred you guessed it. Ginny and I are engaged. I proposed to her earlier in the park just before she got sick."
"Harry. There's something I have to tell you. And I figure this is just as good of a time to tell. Harry I love you. But there's something I need to tell you. Um. The reason I was sick, now Hermione's already figured this out, well. Harry? We're uh… We're going to have a baby." Ginny looked at Harry's reaction. His first reaction was shock then changed to a huge smile as he hugged his fiancée and kissed her passionately on the lips.
"You're what? You're pregnant?" This was the first Ron had spoken since Fred got there. "How come no one told me?"
"Oh honestly Ron! Did you not figure this out earlier? You are so clueless! Did you really think that Ginny would get sick when the love of her life proposed to her? Come on! Get a clue!" Hermione stared at her friend in disbelief.

A/N: Okay, sorry bout this super short chapter. I just wanted to get something out there. Eight snaps to yourheartsdesire for figuring out in the prior chapter about Ginny. Snap-snap- snap- snap- snap- snap- snap- snap! If any of you want to know the exact spot Ginny started hinting at it, go to the last little section part, and reread the second paragraph. It should stand out. Two little words. I've got writer's block right now. Dunno where to go from here. I was going to put the entire Weasleys reaction in this chapter but I didn't know how to do it well. Okay. Please review.
PS: In case you didn't notice, starting this chapter, I'm starting something I wanted to do for this story, but I just now remembered it. From now on, I'm going to put like the last few words as the chapter title. Even if it gives a little away. Hope you like that.
