Disclaimer: I own nothing. Well, except for the plot, Honey, and Tiara. But that's it.
Chapter Three: Meeting Grandmother Molly
A few days later, Hermione, George, and Tiara all stood outside of the Burrow doorway, preparing to inside and tell everyone, including Mr. and Mrs. Weasley, Bill, Fleur, Charlie, Ron, Ginny, Tonks, Remus, and Harry, the news. George had decided to make it a surprise and gather everyone in one location at once to tell them. At least that way, he had said, if his mother attacked them, they would at least have Bill and Charlie to try and calm her.
It was decided that George would go in first and talk to them, with Tiara with him, before Hermione made her entrance with Honey. "Now, listen Hermione, no matter what my mother or anyone else in that room says, I love you and nothing is going to change that," he said before he and Tiara walked into the house, leaving Hermione to her thoughts, and right now, that was a dangerous thing to do.
As soon as George had walked in, Molly asked him, "Hello, George. Everyone is here, now what is it that you want to tell us."
George took a deep breath, trying to calm his nerves. Finally, "I've met a girl."
Fred immediately went into a coughing fit, and it sounded as if he was trying to say, "Understatement."
"Fred, why don't you get a glass of water?" Molly asked her one son, then turning to the other, she said, "That's wonderful dear, is this her?" motion toward Tiara.
George shook his head. "No, actually, this is Tiara, her friend. And Fred's secret girlfriend."
Both Tiara and Fred reddened. Fred growled, "Oh, bring her in, you idiot."
"Yeah, Georgie, I want to meet her," Bill replied.
George shook his head once again. "Actually, you've already met her. And before I bring her in, I want you all to swear that you won't scream, attack her, or anything of that sort."
"Yes, we don't want to disturb Honey," Tiara commented.
Molly replied, "George, please, making your family swear to such a thing. It's a good thing this girl is right outside the door or you'd be getting an earful. Just bring her in already. And did you say she brought honey? That's lovely. Is it bee honey or flower honey?"
"Actually, it's George-honey," Fred commented. This made him and Tiara laugh, though everyone else looked as though they had just gone mental.
"Fine, but please, don't yell," George said as he walked to door and motioned for someone to come in.
Hermione had thought about running away, honestly, she had. But then she had realized that she couldn't' do that to George twice, especially since she would be leaving Tiara here in the process, and that would only make her friend very angry.
The minute Hermione walked in it was as though time froze. Ginny was the first to respond, "Hermione, is that you? Hermione Granger?"
Hermione smiled. "Yes, everyone it's me. Miss Hermione Granger."
Ginny instantly screamed and made as though she was about to attack her lost friend, though she stopped dead in her tracks when she heard a baby's wail. Hermione began to rock the bundle in her arms, which everyone had failed to notice due to their excitement. Hermione then continued, "And this is my daughter, everyone. Miss Honey Weasley."
Suddenly Molly and her youngest son, Ron, slumped in their chairs, apparently passed out. Fred laughed and said, "Well, I'll say you got off easy, Georgie. That certainly wasn't the reaction I was expecting."
Harry, who had, until then, remained quiet, said, "You knew about this Fred?"
"Of course, I knew about it. Just found out a few days ago though, had no idea that they were dating."
Ginny asked, "You were dating George?'
"Ginny, you do know that it take two to make a baby, don't you? And I will tell you now, it is not Ron's," George said through gritted teeth.
"Would anyone care to inform me on how this came to happen?" Charlie inquired.
This time it was Hermione that answered, "Actually, George and I began to date in fifth year, we were in love, and before I went back to school for sixth year, I spent the night with George. We wrote often during the school year, but then halfway through the term, I found out that I was pregnant. I didn't know what to do, I was seventeen and I had convinced myself that George didn't want it. So I left and went back to my parents, were no one could find me."
"And you didn't know anything about this, George?" Bill asked, and as if to show his seriousness, he even called George by his actual name instead of Georgie.
George shook his head. "No, I didn't. I mean I had come to visit Hermione on Hogmeade weekends, but mostly it was just letters. When I stopped getting the letters, I thought that she had just forgotten, with the upcoming studying and all. It wasn't until Ron and Harry told me that I found out that she was gone. At first, I had thought that it was something I had done, that maybe she thought that that night was a mistake and that she never wanted to see me again."
"But then you found about it?" Mr. Weasley interrogated.
"Will you please stop referring to my daughter as an 'it'? Her name is Honey Louise Wealsey," Hermione abruptly commented.
"Why in the world did you name your daughter Honey Louise, Hermione?" Ginny asked.
Hermione silently thanked her for the change in topic. "Actually, it was George that wanted to name his first daughter Honey, he told me as much when we first started dating. I figured that since this would be his first daughter, I should keep to his wishes, seeing as I had…left."
"But why Honey?"
Tonks commented, "Hey, Honey is a good name, it's better than Nymphadora at any rate."
"I just always wanted to name my daughter, Honey. Besides, she's very sweet and beautiful, just like her mother," George replied as he placed a kiss upon Hermione's head.
There was a chorus of Awws and then Harry said, "I just have one thing to say. Everyone attack George."
Immediately, everyone, every male at least, made as though to pounce on George, though they stopped short when he grabbed Honey from her mother and began to rock her in his own arms. He said, "You wouldn't dare hurt an innocent baby, would you?"
When no one said anything, he grinned and replied, "Good, now why don't we meet everyone, Honey?" George began to move the child around the group of people, holding her up so that she could see their faces as he said their names. "See, now this is Grandfather Arthur; he's really nice though a bit obsessed with Muggles. Then this is Bill, he's nice enough when he isn't calling me Georgie, which is, by the way, a story you're never going to hear, and this is Fleur, Bill's fiancée. She's from France and talks really weird so don't worry if you can't understand what in the world she's saying, I can't half the time.
"This is my twin and your uncle Fred, we used to be the best pranksters at Hogwarts, a wizarding school, and one day, you're going to have to take our place there and cause as much trouble as possible. Then this is Ginny, your aunt, don't let her make you into one of those really girly-girls, all right. And of course, we can't forget my older brother, Charlie; he works with dragons and has a lot of good stories, so make sure to bug him when you can talk. There's Grandmother Molly and Uncle Ron but unfortunately they're asleep right now, so you'll meet them later. This is Nymphadora Tonks, but don't call her Nymphadora unless you want to be hexed into next Thursday, and with her is her boyfriend, Remus Lupin. He used to be a teacher, and is wickedly nice, and don't let anyone else tell you otherwise," George finished with a smirk that said he was very proud of himself.
Lupin was the one to ask, "Who are her godparents?"
George tried to think for a moment before turning to face Hermione and asking, "Love, who are Honey's godparents?"
Hermione laughed and replied, "Harry is the godfather and Tonks in the godmother."
Harry and Tonks immediately perked up at this and began to dance around each other chanting, "We've got a family, we've got a family."
Everyone laughed though it was Bill that broke the news, "You do remember that you do each have your own families, don't you?"
Harry and Tonks stopped for a moment and then began to dance in the other direction, chanting "We've got a good family, we've got a good family".
