Chapter 5
Ginny did a double take after seeing her traitorous brother sitting in the corner having a quiet chat with her father.
"What on earth is he doing here?" she thought. "As far as I am concerned he is no longer part of my family."
"Ahh," Hermione walked up to her. "I see that you have spotted our other surprise guest.
"How could he have the nerve to turn up here after what he did to us!" Ginny hissed
"Ginny, I …."
"I mean, he practically betrayed us. Then he used us as an excuse for that lousy Rufus Scrimengour to have a reason to talk to Harry!"
"I know some of the things that he did weren't very lordable but …."
"I am not going to speak to him!"
"Ginny, you are just being childish!"
"No, I am being me! If he wants to speak to me, then he can come over here, grovel at my feet and then I might consider saying hello to him!" Ginny shrieked
"Now, Now ladies what's going on here?" asked Harry
"Your sister is expressing her displeasure at her brother's presence"
"Hey, Ginny. I know Fred's not your favourite person ever but give him a chance!" he joked.
"You know what I mean Harry! Stop joking about!"
"Sorry Professor!"
"Oh no! What's Ron doing now? I think he shares Ginny's opinion! I better go and intervene!" Hermione left.
"You know I hope that one day, my vocabulary will consist of half as many words as Hermione's does," Harry laughed.
"Harry, what is he doing here!" Ginny cried, falling into Harry's arms "I mean, how dare he show up after what he put us through!"
"Maybe he just wants to apologise."
"I don't know how many he'll get accepted. No one in the room is looking him apart from my dad and Ron, but he's screaming his head off at him."
Harry laughed.
"What!" Ginny asked
"It's just, you look kind of funny when you are angry!"
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"Well, you screw up your nose, clench your fists and you shake your head a lot." He continued.
Ginny looked down. Her fists were as tight as vices and here knuckles were white. She sighed.
"I suppose I better go and say Hi. I don't want to, but I feel it is my duty as that only sane person in the family under 35."
"I wouldn't count on that." Harry mumbled.
"Count on what?"
"That you are the only sane child in this family, it's a bit to late for that!" he grinned.
"Harry!" Ginny giggled and hit him over the shoulder. She strode over to where her two brothers were having a heated discussion.
"The nerve!" Ron shrieked. "What were you thinking, strutting in like this? That we'd welcome you back with open arms and forget what has happened over the past five years?"
"Well…..I……." Percy stuttered
"Hmmm? Did you even think about what you were putting Mum and Dad through?"
"Now listen I…" Percy was cut off.
"I don't think anyone in this room wants to talk to you after what you did to this family!"
"Actually Ron, I would. I want to know why he did it." interjected Ginny coolly.
"Yes, I think we would all like an answer to that question," continued Harry.
"What a good idea old chap!" smiled Ron "Hey, everyone! Dear Percy is going to explain to us why he up and deserted us for his beloved ministry, plotted against us and then never made any contact with us for five years, even after Harry here defeated Lord Voldemort!" (Because Voldemort was dead, no one was scared to say his name anymore.)
Percy blushed and proceeded to tell the congregation in the living room about how he thought his prospect were better with the Ministry of Magic than in the Order of the Phoenix. He explained that once Harry had killed Lord Voldemort the Minister had threatened to sack him if he made contact with his family because he would be betraying the wizarding community. But, once the present minister had been elected, he decided he wanted to get back on at least speaking terms with his family However, he wasn't sure how his reappearance would be accepted, and if this was any indication then maybe it was a bad decision.
"Nonsense" scoffed Mrs Weasley, when her son had finished his explanation. "Everyone is glad to have you back!" . Molly's statement was greeted with dozens of steely glares. "Well maybe we ought to take your re-initiation one step at a time." She finished.
With that the embarrassed pair went into the kitchen to discuss Percy's current living situation among other things.
The rest of the crowd returned to their previous conversations.
"Well," breathed Fred "That was interesting!" and walked of to find Katie.
"Harry, can I talk to you?" asked Ginny.
"Why of course!" Harry answered.
The two of them walked over to a quiet corner of the Weasley's heaving living room.
"What is it?" Harry asked
"Well, I've been thinking about your suggestion,"
"And?"
"I think we could give it a go"
"Really!" he exclaimed
"Of course. I need to get out of the rut I am in. Become more spontaneous."
"Well, this is a big jump!"
"You know what they say, variety is the spice of life!"
"And other things"
"Like what?" Ginny asked
"Like kissing your new found boyfriend!" Harry leaned in towards her.
"Not here! It's a secret! Remember!"
"I thought you wouldn't mind your family knowing!"
"Well, Hermione and Ron already know, but the twins would just endlessly tease me. And mum would make a gigantic fuss"
"So, let's go somewhere private then!" Harry grinned cheekily.
"Uhh! Harry! I don't know what on earth you mean!" Ginny gasped mockingly.
Harry grabbed Ginny's hand and they fled the room.
