Chapter 3 – Home
"Morning Ron." Harry smiled when he saw his best friend roll over and yawn.
"What's the time?"
"I'm not sure. Pretty early." Harry replied.
"Man it feels so great to be home."
"I'm going to go have a shower.'
"Okay." Ron sat up and yawned again.
"Morning boys. It's so good to have you home. Did you sleep well last night?" Molly asked as the boys walked into the kitchen. Hermione was standing at the table eating a piece of toast.
"Yeah thanks." Ron replied.
"I made you all breakfast."
"Thanks Mum, but Hermione and I have to run. We're looking for an apartment today." Ron smiled and he walked up and gave Hermione a kiss.
"Oh I forgot about that." Molly sighed. "Well you run along and make sure you find a good place."
"Mum I'm twentyfour years old. I can look after myself."
"Yes well even so. Make sure you get a place in a nice area. With that baby coming I don't want you living in a rough neighbourhood."
"Don't worry Mum. We'll be fine."
"We'll be fine Molly. Just make sure you look after yourself." Hermione smiled sweetly.
"I will darling. Now off you go you don't want to be late for your first appointment."
"Bye Mum." Ron gave Molly a kiss on the cheek and he and Hermione left the house. Molly turned to Harry.
"Now Harry dear would you like some breakfast?"
"Yes thanks. That would be great." Harry replied.
"So what have you got planned for today?" Molly poured a glass of juice for Harry.
"I'm not sure. I was thinking of maybe going and looking for a job somewhere."
"That's a great idea. Arthur said something about an opening at the Ministry." Molly suggested.
"Thanks. But I was thinking maybe I might help the twins out at their shop. They've been looking for someone for a while now." Harry replied.
"That's great.." Molly smiled. "I'm sure the boys would love to have you working for them."
"Yeah." Harry paused for a moment. "What have you got planned for today Mrs Weasley?"
"Well I'm heading into town to do some shopping. I thought I might pick up a few things for Ron and Hermione, for the baby."
"That's a great idea."
"Speaking of which I should get going. You can let yourself out dear." Molly told him. "I'll see you when I get home later on."
"Righto." Harry watched as Molly disappeared into the fireplace. With a poof of smoke she was gone. Harry sighed and turned back to his breakfast.
"Are you sure you don't want me to come with you?" Andre and Ginny were standing in the mail terminal at London Airport. "Because I can cancel this meeting, all I have to do is call."
"No. you need to go to this meeting, it's important. Besides facing my family is something I have to do by myself." Ginny replied.
"Call me as soon as you get there, just so I know you arrived safely."
"Don't worry, I will!" She replied. "
"Okay." Andre looked at Ginny worriedly.
"I'll be fine." Ginny grabbed his hands. "Don't worry about me. You just worry about winning over those hospital people in France."
"I am going to worry. You know I will." Andre laughed. "I just can't help it. I love you too much not to worry."
"I know. I love you too." Ginny leant in and gave him a kiss. "Now get going or you'll miss your plane." She laughed.
"Bye." He hugged her.
"Go!" She practically pushed him towards his flight gate.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes! Now et out of here before I change my mind." She smiled.
"I love you."
"Love you too." She watched as Andre passed though the gate to board his plane. She waited for his plane to take off before she headed out of the airport to where there was a car waiting to take her home.
"Are you sure you don't need me to drive you miss?" Gunther, Ginny's driver asked. They were standing on the front steps of Andre's home and Ginny was preparing for her departure.
"No I'm fine. I'll need the car while I'm there anyway. But thankyou for the offer. How about you take a week off and spend some time with your family. I know your wife would love that."
"Thankyou Miss Weasley." He smiled and tipped his hat.
"That's alright. Thanks for the help with my luggage."
"Anytime Miss." He replied.
"Okay. Well I'd better get going if I want to make it there before it gets dark."
"Very well Miss."
"I told you to stop calling me that. My name is Ginny."
"Sorry Miss." Ginny laughed.
"Goodbye Gunther." Ginny climbed into the driver seat of the car she was borrowing.
"Bye Ginny." Gunther smiled and Ginny started the car and made her way out of the driveway.
Harry had just arrived home from a meeting with Fred and George and was about to head upstairs when the doorbell rang.
"That's strange. Nobody ever uses the doorbell." He raised his eyes in surprise. "Spose I'd better find out who it is." He thought and he turned around and headed for the front door of the burrow.
Ginny stood at the door nervously. She hadn't been at the burrow since she finished her schooling. Now she was standing there, waiting to see her family for the first time in years. She heard footsteps approaching the door and she took a deep breath as the door creaked open…
Sorry to leave it there but I couldn't figure out how either of them would react yet. I'll write more soon I promise!
