"It's just not fair!" the redhead girl shouted. She waved her hands in the air as she turned and paced across the room again and sat down on her small bed. "I mean, how on earth could he think that we wouldn't love him, that I wouldn't love him?"
"I know, Ginny. I miss him too. He was like a brother to me!" The two girls were sitting next to each other on the redhead's bed.
"I love that boy with all my heart! Does he think I care if his hair's a little messier?" Ginny smiled sadly and winked at her best friend. "Besides, scars can look pretty hot." The girls giggled for the first time in weeks, when they stopped moments later, they looked at each other in shock. They laughed?
There was a knock on the door, but before Ginny could stop the person from entering, her brother walked in. "Did mine ears deceive me? Was our dear little sister laughing?"
"Surely not, Fred!" the brother's twin walked into the room, grinning happily at the sight of a smiling sister.
"Stop it you two!" Ginny scolded, smiling.
"So, what were you two laughing about?" Fred asked.
"How hot Harry looks with scars," Ginny said giggling again.
"How do you know that? Maybe he's unbearably ugly!" George asked incredulously. "Have you seen him?" He tried to hide it, but a hopeful tone snuck into his voice.
"Well, no," Ginny admitted, hanging her head. "But he's Harry, he's always hot!" She looked up and smiled. George laughed and attempted to swallow the hopeful feeling Ginny had incurred.
"Ginny, what happens if he comes back and he really is ugly? Would you stop loving him?" Hermione asked seriously.
"Of course not!" Ginny said, standing up and glaring at her friend for suggesting something so preposterous.
"Well, Gin, that's exactly what Harry's thinking right now," another red haired boy walked into the crowded room.
"How do you know that, Ron?"
"Think about it, he's a seventeen year old boy with a beautiful girlfriend, an amazingly handsome best friend who happens to have a stunning girlfriend. He's always lived with beauty, besides, he was always self-conscience about the scars he already had."
"I never knew that! How come he didn't tell me?"
"Ginny, you were his girlfriend! He wanted you to think he was perfect!" Ron said, grabbing his sister by the shoulders and shaking her.
Ginny brushed a lock of hair out of her face. "He should have known he could have told me anything!" she said as she crossed her arms and looked down. Then, once all of the words that Ron had said sunk in, she looked at him with fire in her brown eyes. "And don't say were! He's coming back! He just has to!" At that point, Ginny could no longer continue and began sobbing into Hermione's shoulder. The older girl stroked Ginny's hair, whispering through the waves.
"Just imagine how hot he'll be when he comes home!" Ginny looked up at the word when.
"So you really think he's coming home?"
"Of course, how could he stay away from the family that loves him?" Hermione asked, embracing the trembling girl. Ginny smiled.
"Thanks, Hermione, I needed to hear that." She threw a dark look at Ron. He shrugged his muscular shoulders.
"Look, I've known the old guy since first year. I'm just telling you what's going on in his wacko mind. As far as he's concerned, you guys are all old news, including me. He thinks he's going to just disappear and that no one will miss him." Ron sighed deeply. "I'm not saying I agree with him!" he added as Ginny's eyes filled with a sad anger.
"Hey, who wants to help George and I test our newest addition to our line?" Fred asked, clapping his hands.
Ginny smiled at his attempt to change subjects, "Sounds good." She stood up and followed her twin brothers out of the room with everyone following her. Within moments, peals of laughter mixed with loud bangs like explosions came from the twins' room.
"Fred! George!" a woman's yell came up the stairs, preceding the round, angry, Mrs. Weasely. She stormed up the stairs and threw open the door, gathering breath for the yelling that was sure to happen. When the door banged on the wall and there was no change in the sounds from the room, she held her breath. It was as if she was afraid that by letting it go, the scene would stop and change. There they all were, Fred, George, Ron, Hermione, and Ginny, laughing! They were enjoying themselves, something they hadn't done since The Battle. If only Charlie and Harry were here, the scene would have been perfect, Mrs. Weasely thought sadly before closing the door quietly. She turned and walked slowly down the stairs to tell her eldest son, Bill, the good news. It looked like this family just might pull through without two of its members.
Author's Note: Yeah, these chapters are short, just get used to it, it means I update more…and yes I'm still writing New Moony and The Hereafter, this was just an idea that wouldn't leave me alone.
