Chapter 6 Charlie and His Princess
"They are too young to get married! Or have a child for that matter!" Molly said to Arthur exasperated. They had been arguing for almost three days now over whether or not Hermione and Ron should get married. Ron and Hermione had informed them the day after they told Hermione's parents. "Molly, your once again forgetting how old we were when we got married." Arthur said.
"Yes but dear, we didn't have any of the burdens that they have now. I mean, when we were their age we were carefree and all we had to worry about was paying the rent and getting our mouths fed." Molly said. Slouching in the chair. " While I love Hermione, I just don't think she's ready to have a baby." Molly said.
"Molly, Hermione's the brightest witch ever and she's got such a bright future ahead of herself. She already has four offers from four different departments in the Ministry waiting for her to apply for the jobs!" Arthur said.
"Yes dear and why would she want to throw it all away for a baby?" Molly said.
"We did." Arthur said now getting serious.
Molly sighed.
"Were perfectly fine dear. Look at how beautiful our children have grown up to be. Even under the circumstances, they each have their own talents and dreams, Ron and Hermione are going to be beautiful parents and they are going to have a loving family. They look exactly like us when we were there age." Arthur said hugging Molly.
"I know, dear but I mean everything that's been going on, oh my I just don't know how much more I can take." She said crying.
Arthur smiled and held his wife and rocked her in his arms.
"They will be good parents won't they?" She finally agreed.
Arthur kissed her on the forehead. "You just wait and see my love." Arthur said.
-------------------------------------
Harry was walking around Diagon Alley looking for something to get Ginny for their anniversary. It was coming up in the next few days and he wanted everything to be special. They were going to stay in and Harry was going to cook a romantic dinner for two. Ron and Hermione were going to stay at Fred and George's and help them do some inventory for the Christmas season was a huge success for them. Harry walked around and looked in all the different shops. He finally came to the conclusion that the key to a girls heart is jewelry, or something along those lines. He thought to himself.
'Hermione what does Ginny like?' Harry asked her mentally. He continued to walk when he heard Hermione answer.
'Ginny likes girly things, you know, flowers, chocolate, gifts - the simple ones not big elegant ones.' Hermione answered.
'How are you doing?' Harry asked.
'What do you mean? I'm great!' Hermione replied.
"May I help you with something?" A wizard in a black tuxedo asked Harry. " Oh my, you are Harry Potter! Welcome to my humble shop!" The man called Oliver said smiling happily as he shook Harry's hand.
Harry smiled. "Thank you. I need to purchase a necklace for my girlfriend." Harry said to Oliver. "Ohh yes the beautiful Ms. Weasley. I have just the diamond for you. Follow me please." Harry followed the man cautiously. He turned around to a chest full of beautiful diamond necklaces of all shapes and sizes.
"I want to get her something simple, but elegant." Harry said smiling. He looked at one beautiful Silver necklace with one diamond on the center followed by two smaller ones that made it look like an icicle. "That one." Harry pointed to the necklace.
"That is a very fine choice Mr. Potter." Oliver said.
Harry paid for the necklace and headed towards the Joke Shop to go say hi to everyone.
"Harry!" George welcomed Harry with opened arms. The shop was beautifully decorated with all sorts of Christmas bangles and such.
"Welcome old chap." Fred said clamping him on the back.
"Hello Harry." Angelina said kissing him on the cheek.
"Hello." Katie said hugging him tightly.
"How are you all?" Harry asked.
"Great." Fred said with his arm around Angelina possessively.
George and Katie stuck their tongues out at each other making Harry giggle.
"The shop looks great." Harry said.
"It's really fantastic isn't it." Hermione piped in. Ron and Hermione had come out from behind a corner.
"Little brother were you trying to shag her again?" George asked sneering at Ron.
"Yeah you already knocked her up." Fred said laughing.
Angelina hit him on the side. "Fred, Hermione looks ravishing." She said sticking up for them.
" Yeah I'm so jealous of you Hermione!" Katie said in a girlish tone. The girls all sighed while the boys looked confused..
" Women…" George said shaking his head.
"Yeah, cant live with em, and cant live without em." Fred said kissing Angelina. She blushed.
"So what are you doing out and about today Harry? Come to see our progress mate?" Fred asked.
"We owe it all to you. Every last penny." George added.
Harry blushed. " Come on guys, enough." Harry said. "What's that in your bag Harry? From Oliver's Jewelry Store?" Katie asked.
Harry took out the tiny box and showed everyone the necklace.
"Ohh my! That's lovely!" The girls squealed.
"Harry, what's that for?" Ron asked.
"I'm going to give it to Ginny on Saturday." Harry said happily.
"Stop it mate, you and Ron are making George and I look bad." Fred said exasperated.
"Yeah we have been together how long Fred and when was the last time you proposed!" Angelina glared at him. Hermione giggled and Ron slid his arm around her and smiled smugly.
"Thanks bro." George glared at Ron.
"Be nice to Ron he's going to be a father!" Katie said smiling.
Ron rubbed Hermione's tummy and the girls gathered round to watch. "Yeah Mum wasn't too pleased when she found out and neither was dad, but I think they will get around to accepting it because I mean, they have to you know?" Ron said to everyone.
"Ron nearly gave our mum a heart attack when he told them Hermione was prego." Fred said to everyone.
"Where's Ginny at?" Harry asked Ron.
"She's at home resting with Sirius. You know she hasn't really been the same since all that happened with Malfoy." Ron said.
"If I ever see that prick around here I swear to God I will beat his head into a fucking pole." George said balling his fists up.
"She was lucky she didn't completely get raped." Katie added.
"Poor thing must be in shock." Angelina said sympathically.
"Well yeah wouldn't you be if you had someone attack you?" Hermione said. The group chatted for a few more hours however as the night moved on more and more customers came through so they had to cease their discussions about Voldemort and the new baby. "I cant wait until Fleur gets pregnant! Her's and Bill's baby is going to be breath taking." Hermione said to Ron as she, Ron, and Harry headed home to Ginny and Sirius.
" Baby, were home!" Harry said.
"Harry!" Ginny cried running up to him and Jumping on top of him. She kissed him passionately then stared into his eyes.
" What did ya bring me?" She joked.
"This." Harry said taking the tiny box out of the package and handing it to Ginny.
"Oooohhh, I wasn't serious!" Ginny squealed as everyone gathered round to watch her open the gift. She gasped and freaked out. "Oh Harry it's wonderful, and beautiful!" She cried. She hugged him tightly.
"Put it on me." She said giving him the necklace. Harry fiddled with the clasp for a minute and then he placed it upon her swanlike neck. Ginny flipped her hair back and with a cute smile asked "So how does it look?"
"Beautiful Gin." Hermione said happily.
Ginny grinned. " Thank you Harry." She said kissing him.
The next day, Thursday, was a day of quiet sitting around the house. Hermione was starting to show some of her signs more often. She was moody, tired and she was emotional. November was coming to an end. The leaves off the trees had all fallen off. Harry and Ginny had spent the day laughing and playing games. Sirius was working on some things for the Ministry. He had gotten a job in the department of Magical Law.
He was working on the case of Emmiline Vance and her parents. Emmiline had gone missing a week ago and the dark mark had shown above her house. Sirius had been assigned the case trying to crack the mystery within. He was usually really good at solving crimes, only because he had been around so many criminals for 13 years.
"I thought you wanted to get away from all that." Harry asked him.
"Nah, Azkaban, yes I never want to set foot in that place again. Remus and I have been working on a form to get our own detective business up and running someday." Sirius said. Harry cocked an eye at his Godfather.
"A Detective Business?" Hermione questioned. "But you have never had any work in the field. How would you know how to run a detective agency? And manage a business for that matter." She snorted into her soup. Ron looked at her.
Sirius shook his head and continued on in his mission. "Oh Ron I feel horrible." Hermione groaned rubbing her tummy. "This baby better not be this way through out the entire pregnancy or I am going to go mental by June." Hermione complained. She lay upon her couch while Ron rubbed her back for her.
"I'm sorry this happened Mione. We should have been more Responsible as much as I hate the word." Ron said.
"What do you mean?" Hermione asked.
"I mean as soon as we were done I should have placed a pregnancy charm upon your stomach so you wouldn't get pregnant." Ron said.
"Oh Ron, I want to have your baby. I always have." Hermione said smiling.
----------------------------------
There was a quiet knock on the door outside. "I'll get it." Ginny said. She went and opened the door. Ginny squealed as her brother Charlie stood in the doorway. "Charlie!" Ginny hugged him tightly.
"Ginny, how are you?" Charlie asked hugging his sister tightly.
"I'm doing great." She said smiling as she kissed her brother on the cheek. Charlie looked at her with a loving expression. "Please Come in Charlie." Ginny said dragging her brother in the house. "Charlie's here!" She called to everyone. Harry, Sirius, Ron and Hermione all came in to greet Charlie.
"Hello." Charlie said to everyone. Ron and Charlie hugged for a brief moment. Charlie shook Sirius's hand and he smiled at Harry with an expression that Harry couldn't quiet place.
"How come you're here so early?" Ginny asked as they all sat around the living room with the fireplace roaring. The house felt very homey as the red and gold embers burned crackling giving off a Christmas like smell.
"I heard about you, and Hermione, and so I figured I was needed here. Plus I have some news for everyone. I'm seeing someone." Charlie said happily.
"Oh? Who?" Ron asked questionably. " You don't speak Romanian so there aren't many English speaking witches over there." Ron said thinking to himself.
"I'm not seeing just anyone. I'm seeing Anita Mariana Romanov." He said with a grin on his face.
"Why does that sound so familiar?" Hermione scrunched her nose up in deep thought. "Bloody hell!" She spat. "Your not serious Charlie?" She asked him. "I am dead serious. In fact, she's outside in the car." He said.
"Who are we bloody talking about?" Ginny asked.
"PRINCESS of ROMANIA." Hermione said. Everyone blinked twice.
"Well done Charlie." Sirius said smiling and clamping him on the back.
"May I bring her in?" Charlie asked.
"Definitely." Sirius said. Charlie nodded and went back out to the car.
"Anita Mariana Romanov, my brother is dating a freaking Princess." Ginny said looking at everyone.
The five of them waited in the hallway for them to come in.
Ginny held Harry's hand and kissed him briefly. "I love you." She whispered.
"Well that was out of the blue." Harry said smiling. They turned and Charlie walked in arm in arm with a beautiful woman. Ron's jaw dropped. Hermione smacked him. He straightened up. Harry looked her up and down. She had beautiful Black hair that fell in soft ringlets down her shoulders almost to her butt. Her eyes were a soft brown color, her face pale. She had beautiful lips and a charming smile.
Hermione glanced outside. There were guards out by the door. Great, now were going to have to deal with the Daily Prophet again. She thought to herself. 'What do you think of her Harry?' Hermione asked him.
'I think she looks nice.' He said.
"Hello everyone, please to meet you." Anita said. Sirius took her hand and kissed it.
"Anita, this is Sirius Black." Charlie said. She smiled as he kissed her hand. Harry looked at his godfather with a different expression.
"This is Harry Potter and Hermione Granger." Charlie continued to introduce. Anita shook Harry's hand and smiled at Hermione.
"That is a lovely name." She said to Hermione. " And this is my youngest and only sister, Ginerva, but we like to call her Ginny, and my youngest brother Ron." Charlie said introducing them.
"Hello Ginny, Ron." She smiled. "They look exactly like you Charlie." She smiled.
"Please come in." Harry said leading them to the family room. They sat and chatted for a long while.
"Well dear, if you don't mind, I have to attend this meeting which unfortunately is top secret. I will be back within the hour though. Please, let Harry and everyone entertain you." Charlie said kissing her. "Be good now." Charlie said looking specifically at Ginny.
"Always brother." She smirked.
The order members came and had their meeting that evening. "Now, Charlie you know that in being a spy and dating the Princess you are not only putting yourself in danger, but all those around you." Arthur said in the meeting.
"Arthur, everyone who is working is putting themselves in danger here. There is no one that is out of danger." Sirius said. Lupin nodded.
"Minerva, how is the investigation of the Malfoy's going?" Remus asked.
"Exceedingly well. There is something that I wish to discuss with everyone." She said.
"What is it?" Tonks asked. Tonk's hair was long and yellow. She had changed her eye color to brown with black specks in it to make her look like a cat.
"I think we should bring Young Malfoy and Mrs. Parkinson as Spy's." Minerva answered. "They have come to me and are afraid of the decisions that they made and the pressure's that they are in because of their backgrounds." She said.
"Absolutely Not." Amos Diggory said.
"They are Death Eaters Minerva." Lupin reminded her.
"Snape is one as well as Karkaroff." Minerva reminded him. Snape flashed a glare at Lupin who returned it without any hesitation.
"I think we could use the different views on things, plus Draco's father is Lucius Malfoy! I mean look at him." Minerva said. " He is the Head Death Eater and as far as I know is closest to Voldemort." Minerva said.
"Anyway, it is just a suggestion. We do not have to rule on it now. I would like it to be soon though." She said.
" I think we should give them a chance." Tonks said. "After all they are kids right Molly?" She asked.
Molly nodded but looked skeptical. " Malfoy tried to rape my daughter. We can't trust him and I don't want to subject my daughter to him. Also once you ingrain something into a child's head or beliefs it is hard for you to change that unless you use force. I mean look what is going to happen to Harry after all this is done and over with." Molly said. Everyone nodded.
"Yes but Harry is as smart as they come and he, Ron and his friends have dealt with more than any of us had in our own childhoods." Arthur said. "They will be fine. I will think about it."
"How about we decide next meeting weather to let Malfoy and Parkinson in." Sirius asked.
Everyone nodded in agreement.
The meeting ended a few hours later. It was around 10:30 pm. Anita was showing Hermione pictures of her home in Romania. "So how did you meet our brother, I mean, he spends most of his time training dragons." Ginny questioned.
"Oh it was lovely the way I met Charlie." Anita started. "It was a fall day in October. I was supposed to be training with Lord Dorian for our yearly duel with Dragons. Charlie happened to be working on my Hungarian Horntail. He was just coming out of the barn with some Dragon feed when my horse had sprinted off and got spooked. Charlie hopped on a horse and came after me and well, the rest is History as they say." Anita said in a thick Romanian accent.
The girls sighed. " How romantic." Hermione said.
Ron snorted.
"Yes the rest is definitely History." Charlie said standing in the doorway listening to what Anita was telling them.
She flipped her head around and got up to greet him. "Charlie." She said sweetly kissing him on the cheek.
"Hello gorgeous." He said in a husky voice.
The next morning there was a big article in the Daily Prophet written by Rita Skeeter about Charlie and the Princess being in town and the fact that the princess was his girlfriend for that matter. Hermione read the article out loud.
The Most Famous Family in England?
Minister of Magic, Arthur Weasley has just informed us that his eldest son Charlie Weasley, is bringing home the beautiful Princess Anita Mariana Romanov of Romania. It has been confirmed that the two are definitely Romantically involved and Serious in their Relationship. The Weasley family has also welcomed Harry Potter into their arms as he is dating the only Weasley daughter, the beautiful and stylish Ginerva Weasley. The family is also expecting to welcome in a new addition as Mrs. Hermione Granger, soon to be Weasley is due to have a baby in June according to Molly Weasley, Arthur's loving wife.
This family is definitely becoming more and more popular as the weeks go on, they might even out run the famous Malfoy's as being the most popular Pureblood and influential family in all Wizards London. Now on a holiday note, the Weasley Twin's Fred and George are starting their Christmas addition in their Joke Shop and their Grand Sale starts two weeks from today with all sorts of jokes that the kiddies can stuff in their stockings for the holidays. Until tomorrow, Rita Skeeter, Daily Prophet Reporter extraordinaire. "Well that wasn't so bad." Ginny said.
"Yeah she called you stylish and I cant believe mum talked to her about all of us." Ron said.
"Well I imagine she had to go to either Arthur or Molly because of our agreement. I'm surprised she's even holding to that still." Hermione smiled.
Charlie and Anita were asleep in the guest room still for they were not used to the time difference as of yet.
"When are Bill and Fleur arriving?" Hermione asked Ginny.
"I got a letter from Mum that Bill had written her and they are coming to plan the wedding the day after tomorrow I think." Ginny said happily.
So many good things had happened that day that Harry had almost forgotten that their anniversary was tonight. "Ginny, don't make any plans for this evening it's our anniversary remember?" Harry asked her.
"Of course I remember, I'm surprised that you remember." She giggled.
That night Harry took her out to a romantic little Italian restaurant. They danced to the beautiful guitar that was playing the most romantic French love songs ever. Harry tipped the guitar player nicely and winked at him. "Oh Harry, this is so great." Ginny said.
Harry looked out the window to see the stars. "Only the best for you." He smiled at Ginny. "How are you feeling about everything love." He asked in a more serious tone now.
Ginny looked at him. "I am a lot better. You know there was just something about that night now that I look on it that wasn't right." She said. "But lets not continue drawling on it." She said. Harry paid for their dinner and they took a stroll down Diagon Alley back to Grimmauld Place.
"Stay with me tonight?" Ginny asked him. "I love it when your next to me. I feel so safe." She said. She sighed as she laid her head on Harry's shoulder.
"Of course I'll stay with you."
Together, hand in hand, they walked back to their home. Harry carried her over the doorway. "Can you believe it's already been a month?" Ginny asked.
Harry sighed. "Yep." He said. Ginny laughed and punched him in the side.
"Hey you guys, how was dinner?" Charlie asked. He was sitting at the table with Ron and Percy playing a game of cards.
"It was great." Ginny said smiling radiantly. "Hello Percy." She said kissing him on the cheek.
"Hello Ginny, Harry." He nodded to both of them.
"Well it's getting late and I am exhausted so I am heading up to bed." Ginny said winking to Harry.
"Yeah me too." Harry agreed.
Together they snuck up to their room and fell into a quiet peaceful dream world where they were both safe and sound.
