Chapter 19 - Talks
Ginny sat on her couch in her living room, a sleeping Olivia on her lap and an equally happy Hermione to her right, both her twins in her arms. They were just done explaining everything to their parents, including their past love lives to them. Molly was quite shocked, but was too happy to see her daughter back to even become mad. Ronald understood the most, knowing of Ginny's relationship with Draco. He convinced the rest of the brothers that there was no need to be angry. Ginny was thankful.
Hermione, who's eyes were unbelievably red, just discovered that her parents had died two years ago while being in hiding. She didn't think something so horrible would happen. She'd wanted her father and mother there when she would introduce her two beautiful daughters. She'd wanted them there to witness her wedding to Blaise and her children's baptism. She longed for the love and care that her parents would give her.
Olivia, who didn't take the news very well, was forced to slumber on Ginny, who placed a charm on the young child. She wailed and screamed, unable to hold in her emotions. She loved her parents and now that they were gone, there was nothing left for her. Molly assured the right year old that the Weasley's would always be their family, no matter what the circumstances. Olivia wasn't quite satisfied with the phrase, so she continued her bawling and yelling, causing everyone to cover their ears in pain. Charlie, who told Olivia that he would buy her a dragon if she calmed down, actually got the girl to stop running and screaming. That's when Ginny muttered a spell and caught Olivia just in time before she hit the floor.
Ginny turned her head and watched as Hermione hushed to sleep, her beautiful wavy hair covering her gorgeous face. "I'm so sorry, Mione …" the young red head whispered. "I'm so sorry for everything …"
Before Ginny could say anything else, someone sat across from her. "Still not asleep, Gin-gin?" asked the deep voice, leaning back into the chair.
Ginny smiled a bit. "George, aren't you supposed to be with Alicia? You are going to have twin girls …"
George laughed. "Now, Hermione is going think I'm copying her or something," he joked.
"She loves her babies, you know? She really wants to see Blaise again, but doesn't know how on earth to come upon him. I'm feeling the same way about Draco. I mean … what am I going to do? Just go up to him and say, 'Hey love! I came back from the dead! Let's get married!' … I don't think that would work," Ginny said sadly.
George sighed. "Ginny, love. I think you should just go and see him. He'd be happy to see you. I haven't really heard much about his family in the past two years or about his love life, but I'm sure he's still single. Who would get over someone like you?"
"What am I going to do, George? My life was here and it ended two years ago. I haven't finished school or took any training. I haven't had a wand in over two years. How am I going to survive?"
"Well," started George, "you did use my wand you cast that charm on Olly. I think that's something."
Ginny shook her head. "That's nothing. Blimey, George. It was a simple sleeping spell! How can I make do with battling? What am I going to do?"
"Come on, Gin. Stop fretting over these things. We'll take care of you. I've got loads of cash from the store. We can get you a home tutor if you want. Just stop fussing over the most stupidest things," he consoled.
"Are you mad that I've had … relations with Draco Malfoy?" Ginny blurted out.
George chuckled. "I'd say you picked a good guy. He looks like a good old chum. I kind of like the bloke. I remember the last time I saw him. I think he called Ron a Prissy Red Head. Made me laugh for sure."
"How is Ron? How's life going for him?" Ginny asked.
George sighed deeply. "Love's been giving him wars, Gin. At this very moment, he's engaged to Luna -"
"Luna?!"
"- yes, Luna. But -"
"There's a but?!"
"- damn it, Gin! Let me talk!"
"Sorry."
George cleared his throat. "As I was saying. But, someone else is in love with Ron. Has been and always will be. It was quite the shocker when we all found out. Luna's been questioning Ron's love for her. Funny, really."
"What? Who?"
"Keira Chelts."
Ginny's mouth flew open. "That - that whore?!"
"She's not what you think she is, Gin. She's changed. Half her money has been going to the Hiding Reserve. I don't think you know what that is. It's to help those who have been hiding the past two years or so. She's helped tons of people."
"But - But how did this happen?" Ginny asked astonished.
"It's not how it happened. It's who happened."
"What?"
"Ron happened," George concluded.
A dark hooded figure appeared before a woman with dark black hair. "Is everything planned?" it asked in it's very deep voice.
The woman grinned knowingly and replied, "It is done. He is with her now."
"I understand that she is the exact replica of who he is in love with?"
"Yes. I have chosen wisely. It took me a year, but I have finally found her," responded the woman in a proud tone.
"What are you planning to do afterwards? What is the strategy?"
"I have found his true love. She is alive. We will fetch her and hold her until we find out what we shall do next. Any other suggestions?"
The man pulled down his hood and smirked, "It was great working with you, Mrs. Zabini."
"It was a pleasure strategizing with you, Mr. Retome."
Author's Note: Well, here's the lastest installment. I'm sorry it's so short. Didn't have much time in writing it. I promise that the next chapter will come soon. I actually found it fun writing this one. I thought it was short and sweet.
