Ginny was not a trying person. She strived for only the best, however, which could in fact, be very trying! On the morning of October the 30, she was forced to wake up on account of a very loud crack.
CRACK!
Again, Ginny sat up, expecting to see Malfoy.
"Malfoy-what have you been doing?"
Instead of seeing Malfoy though, Ginny was very surprised to see hey brother George.
CRACK!
And there was Fred.
"Hello Gin!" they both greeted.
"Ironic, isn't it?" she mumbled.
"Mum told us-congrats!" Fred said, leaping on her bed for a hug.
"Ya! I don't know what to say-I'm an Uncle!"
"Uncle Fred!"
"Uncle George!"
"Has a nice ring to it-eh George?
"Yes it does Uncle Fred!"
Ginny looked from one twin to the other, more than confused.
"What's the matter?" Fred asked.
"Aren't you glad to see us?" George joined in.
"Of course!" she cried and hugged them both.
"Lets go to breakfast; I'm starved!" Fred moaned.
"Famished actually." George agreed.
"Whats the difference?"
"Well I don't know!"
"Block head!"
"Cheese puff!"
"That's not even an insult!"
"I'm hungry!"
Mrs. Weasley was on the verge of tears again. Fred, George, Ginny, Ron, Mr. Weasley, and Mrs. Weasley all sat at the Weasley table. Malfoy had gone out for breakfast insisting-
"It's ok-the Weasleys need to have a family day."
It made Ginny sick.
"This is great." Mrs. Weasly said, her eyes watery. "All of us eating together."
"Oh mum. Shut it." George complained. He shoveled some butter and jam toast in his mouth.
"We're here to do our duties as an Uncle." Fred added. "The it's back to the 'ole joke shop!" he scooped some eggs in his mouth. "Good breakfast though." He mumbled.
"Must you? You know, both of you are old enough for the Order now…"
"Great!" they both exclaimed. "Let's stay!" They asked/told each other.
"But we will have to go back." Fred said. "How bout-we come back for Christmas until January…" he traile doff thinking.
George answered for him.
"31st. January 31st."
"Works for me!"
"Then it's settled." Mrs. Weasly concluded. "We'll see you soon?"
"Yup!" they both answered, pushed their plates away and apparated.
"Wait!" Mrs. Weasly called. "Not even going to help clean the dishes?"
She shouldn't have even asked.
"Ginny? You awake?"
Ginny opened her eyes sleepily. She was still in that stage of sleep where you see blurry lines instead of clear images.
"Ginny?" the yellow and blue bob came into focus.
"Malfoy?" She sat up. "Oh my gosh Malfoy! What are you doing? Im-immodest!"
Malfoy flicked his wand and the lights came on.
"Well Ginny. Today is the day." Malfoy said.
Ginny's heart hammered. How could today be the day? Had it been two months already? She was speechless. It was today. And she hadn't made up her mind yet.
It was a rule, in the wizarding world, that upon the second month of being courted, the girl had to make up their mind.
"Well. I'm not… I mean to say…erm." She looked at Malfoy who looked expressionless.
Ginny tried to think. What would she say? How did she really feel for Malfoy? Well…to be honest…nothing. She felt nothing for Malfoy. Oh sure, there were times when she thought 'that's so sweet' and her heart would flutter; but she didn't love him. She didn't know how to love him. She did love Harry. And he was visiting soon. Christmas was near.
"Look, hear me out Ginny. I admit that maybe I haven't been..loyal to you… and this baby was my fault. The polyjuice potion was a bad enough punishment on it's own. But I want a chance. Please."
There was emotion and expression in his face now. It made her heart wrench in pain. She hated seeing him sad. She was too soft. It would she decided, in a way, be an arranged marriage.
OMG! I AM SOOO SORRY IT TOOK ME NEARLY THREE DAYS TO RESPOND. WRITERS BLOCK! First of all, the Polyjuice potion will be explained…and also someone get back to me on that 'beta' question. I desperately need one!
