Baked Goods
Disclaimer: I still don't own Harry Potter. Damn. I will though, as soon as I'm rich I'm gonna buy them off of Warner Brothers! Wahahahahaha!
"You're what!"
"Oh damn…" Ginny mumbled, facing three very big, very angry men. Remus stood behind her, gnawing on the inside of her cheek.
"He's… he's twice your age!" Ron screamed.
"Shut up, Ron." Ginny scowled.
"But… How could you!" Ron continued.
"Mum! Make them stop!" Ginny yelled. Mrs. Weasley bustled up to them, a stern look on her face.
"What are you three doing?" She snapped. Fred, George and Ron turned towards her.
"They're being mean! And they won't us out!" Ginny knew she sounded like a little girl but this had always been the best way to appeal to her mother.
"Boys! Didn't we already talk about this?" Mrs. Weasley glared at her three youngest sons. They shrank back.
"But Mum…" Fred began.
"No, buts. Now get into the kitchen and help wash up," She pointed towards the open door. The three boys left meekly, "Now, Ginny…"
"Mum, I love him." Ginny cut in.
"Honey, he is a lot older then you. No offense meant, Remus." Mrs. Weasley offered to the man behind her daughter.
"None taken, Molly. I'm pretty aware of the fact." Remus smiled.
"Aren't we all? Are you sure, dear? Do you really love him?" Mrs. Weasley asked her only daughter. Ginny's face was set.
"Yes, Mum. I love him, a lot." She smiled up at Remus, who retuned it. When she turned back to her mother, the woman had tears in her eyes.
"Oh… That's how Arthur always looked at me." Her voice caught.
"Mum…" Ginny wrapped her arms around the woman. Mr. Weasley had died in the Final Battle.
"It's okay, dear. If you love him, then there's nothing I can do to stop you. Not that I would want to. As long as you let me help with wedding plans." Mrs. Wealsey sniffed slightly. Ginny flinched back and stared up at Remus. His face was bright red.
"Mum… So far I just wanted your permission to date him." Ginny's cheeks were pink. Mrs. Weasley started.
"Oh. Sorry dear. Have a nice night. I'll talk to your brothers. Bye Ginny. Remus." She had a small, knowing smile on her face.
"Bye Mum." Ginny rolled her eyes.
"Oh, wait. Here. Just some things I baked earlier." Mrs. Weasley pressed a box on them and shooed them out the door.
"Goodbye, Molly." Remus said as the older woman smiled and closed the door. Ginny lifted the lid of the box.
"Baked goods. Meaning Mum wasn't as happy as about it as she seemed." She sent a sly look up at Remus.
"Does your mother always cook when she's upset?" Remus asked, draping his coat around Ginny's shoulders.
"Yes. She has since before I was born and will continue baking until she dies." Ginny rolled her eyes.
"Let's walk." Remus started off.
"Remus…" Ginny moaned, hurrying to catch up with him.
"Ginny, what did you think about what your mother said?" Remus' eyes were staring off into the distance.
"About planning the wedding? I dunno. It's a nice thought but we've been together for what a month? Are we sure we're ready?" Ginny looked up at him.
"Are we sure about anything?" Remus replied, smiling slightly.
"Do you always answer questions with a question?
"Do you always ask questions to which you already know the answer?"
"Do you know you could probably win this with half a brain?"
"Do you really think so?"
"Am I supposed to have something smart to say to that," There was a pause. Ginny grinned, thinking she'd won. Then, "Are you going to answer?"
"Ginny… will you marry me?" Remus pulled a small box out of his pocket and knelt. Tears jumped into Ginny's eyes.
"Are… are you serious?" She stammered.
"I don't think there's something I could be any more serious about." Remus looked up at her hopefully.
"Yes! Yes of course! How could I say anything else?" Ginny threw her arms around him, knocking them both over into the snow bank nearby. They lay there for several minutes, content and then Ginny slid sideways to lie next to him.
"I love you." Remus said simply, taking her hand and sliding a small ring onto her finger. Then he kissed her lightly.
"And I love you." Ginny replied, kissing him hard. She laid her head on his shoulder and there they stayed for a while longer.
"Come on. It's cold out here. We'll tell your mum tomorrow." Remus stood and helped his fiancé gently to her feet.
"Hm… We should have a spring wedding or a fall wedding… fall is nice…" Ginny trailed off, a small smile of bliss on her face.
"Whatever you want." Remus' smile matched hers.
"Oh no! Remus we smashed the baked goods!"
The (Real) End
Does anyone want me to right like an epilogue about Draco or something? Or Hermione and Ron? I'm looking for ideas… That'd be kind of cool. Does anyone want me to write one about how Hermione and Ron get together or about Draco and someone? I could probably do that…
