Summary: It's been five years since Ron, Harry and Hermione left on their hunt for Voldemort. Ginny has finally moved on with her life and has left the wizarding world behind her. She is living in Northern England with her new fiancé Andre Miller. What will happen when Andre finds out the truth about who Ginny really is?
Chapter 2 – Meeting the Family
"Well this is it." Andre grabbed Ginny's hand and helped her out of the limo.
"It's huge." Ginny bent her head back to get a look at the building in front of her.
"Yeah. My grandfather built it for my grandmother almost 100 years ago." Andre replied. "Then my father inherited it when he died…and now it belongs to me…only my mum and my sister live here instead."
"Wow. That is so cool. You own this place?" Ginny smiled at him.
"Yeah. This is where I grew up."
"I would love to have grown up in a place like this."
"Trust me it wasn't all that great. Anyway…are you ready to go inside?"
"Sure." Ginny smiled nervously. "I can't wait to meet your family."
"Great well…come on then let's go inside." Andre linked arms with Ginny and they walked up the front stairs. Andre reached out and was about to knock when the door opened.
"ANDRE!" a woman cried and she wrapped her arms around him without warning.
"Gees Louise….calm down Becca." Andre pushed her away.
"I'm sorry. It's just so good to see you. I haven't seen you in years."
"Well it's great to see you too. Ginny this is my older sister Becca, Becca this is my fiancé Ginny Weasley."
"Pleased to meet you. I've heard a lot about you from mum."
"Really?"
"Yeah. She seems to think you're the best thing that's happened to Andre."
"Okay Becca…you can shut up now." Andre blushed slightly.
"Sorry. Come on in. everyone else is in the dining room."
Becca led them through to the dining room and as soon as they entered they were surrounded by Andre's family members, all wanting to meet the man who stole Andre's heart.
"You must be Ginny…welcome to our home." An older woman smiled and hugged Ginny.
"Uh…hi…nice to meet you…"
"Mum…back off." Andre hissed.
"It's okay." Ginny replied. "I kind of like the attention."
"Hey everyone…this is my fiancée Ginny…Ginny….this is my family. My mum, Carrie, you've already met. My older brother Jamie, my younger brother Aaron and my younger twin sisters Monique and Alicia." He introduced them all.
"Nice to meet you all." Ginny smiled.
"Right…shall we sit and eat then?" Andre asked.
"Sounds great." Becca replied. "What are we eating?"
"I've got no idea. I only just got here." Andre replied.
"Okay…I'll just ask the chef." Becca popped into the kitchen.
"You have your own chef?" Ginny was amazed. She was still getting used to the fact that Andre and his family were really rich.
"Yeah." Andre replied. "Shall we sit?" He led her to the dining table and they all sat down to dinner.
Later that night Andre was showing Ginny around the house when they walked past the bathroom where a maid was cleaning up.
"It must be so good to have grown up in a place like this. With people waiting on you all the time…cleaning up after you."
"It was alright. I mean it wasn't great. My dad was hardly ever home. We never spent any time together as a family."
"That sounds like heaven to me. I hated my family, they were always butting into my life and when they weren't they just completely forgot I existed."
"So…when am I going to get to meet your family?"
"I don't know." Ginny sighed. "I'm not so sure I want you to meet them." She mumbled.
"What was that?"
"Oh…well my family live very far away…"
"That's alright. We've got money…we can travel you know."
"I know…unfortunately." She sighed again.
"I get the feeling that you really don't want me to have anything to do with your family."
"It's not that…it's just…my family isn't exactly the sort of family you'd want to be a part of."
"Nonsense. If they're anything like you I'm sure I'll love them."
"Yeah…that's the problem…my family aren't exactly…normal."
"Everybody says that about their family." Andre laughed.
"No I'm not kidding. My family really aren't normal…if you knew them…if you knew what they were really like…you'd never want to marry me."
"Gin, I love you. No matter what happens that will never change. Even if your family are aliens from another planet I wouldn't care. As long as I can be with you none of that matters." Ginny smiled and blushed as Andre kissed her lips lightly.
"I love you too." Ginny smiled back at him and the two of them walked hand in hand through the rest of the house.
