Hermione led Ginny and Harry to Ron's old bedroom all the way upstairs to avoid anyone over-hearing their conversation. She even put silencing charms up just in case.

"Always the thorough one aren't we, Hermione?"

"Well someone has to be." She said is an annoyed tone. "Why didn't you just tell everyone the whole story right away? You're just prolonging the inevitable. You're going to have to tell them soon. Why didn't you just do it then? If I were you I'd just go back down there and tell everyone. It shouldn't be that bad."

"You know Hermione, you're right. It probably would be easier to just do it now. But I still want to wait until after dessert. We had already planned to tell everyone after dessert and we want to keep that plan." Ginny replied just as annoyed as Hermione had sounded.

"Look Hermione," Harry started, "We are sick of your meddling, no offense, but we can handle things on our own. I know I am not a very responsible person but I think Gin and I can handle this by ourselves. We are thankful for your help but we really don't need it."

"Fine," Hermione sniffed. "I'll just be downstairs." She said and then left. Ginny and Harry just turned to each other and shrugged before leaving the room themselves.


Dinner wasn't very eventful. The family just talked about their jobs and gave updates on their lives.

Soon dinner was over and dessert was eaten. Harry and Ginny knew it was time they tell the family part 2 of their secret. So Ginny stood up and cleared her throat to get her family's attention.

"Umm… I have another announcement to make and Harry and I think it's a very good one. We are very happy about this. Please keep this in mind when we tell you. We are very happy."

"Just spit it out already Gin!" Yelled Fred and George.

"Right, well to get straight to the point, I'm pregnant."

There was a gap of silence while everyone digested the information.

Then Ron shouted "How could you Harry! How could you get my little sister pregnant! Oh my God. You didn't just ask her to marry you because you got her knocked up did you because I swear I'll…" Ron got up and lunged at Harry but Harry's reflexes were too quick and Ron fell on his face.

"RON CALM DOWN AND LEAVE HIM ALONE!" Ginny screamed.

"Okay, everyone just calm down. Ginny, screaming is not good for the baby. I for one am stunned but not unhappy. None of you should be unhappy. A baby, I'll have another grandchild!" Molly Weasley squealed. "Oh Ginny come here." Molly pulled her youngest daughter in a big hug. "Oh baby, I'm so happy for you. I have to plan a wedding!" Molly started to walk into the house with her arm around her daughter's shoulders spouting out wedding plans, leaving Harry all alone to deal with the Weasley men. The women followed Mrs. Weasley and Ginny into the living room to discuss plans.

All the men stared at Harry. He shifted uneasily from one foot to the other. "Er..Hi?"

The men just continued to stare.

"Okay look can you just stop staring at me! I love Ginny. I might have gone about telling everyone in completely the wrong way but what's done is done and it can't be changed. I wanted to marry Ginny way before she even told me she was pregnant so that is not the reason I proposed. I have always wanted a family so I am thrilled that Ginny is pregnant and I will be there for her throughout the pregnancy and for the rest of our lives if she can deal with me. We have been together for over a year. I know we are young but we can handle it okay?"

"Well that's good enough for me." Arthur Weasley stated. Soon Harry was engulfed in a big group hug and everyone was all smiles. "Okay let's go join the women inside."

Harry held Ron back as the other men went inside.

"Ron, can I ask you something?"

"Sure Harry go ahead."

"You're not mad at me are you?"

"No Harry, I'm not."

"Okay, good. Will you be my best-man?"

"Of course mate! I was wondering when you'd ask. I just want you to keep something in mind. And this is from all the Weasley men. If you hurt one hair on Ginny's head, we will hunt you down and kill you." Ron said menacingly.

"Don't worry. I would never intentionally hurt your sister. I love her to death."

"Good and that's how it should me. C'mon mate. Let's join everyone inside." Ron put his arm around Harry's shoulder and led him inside where they could hear everyone discussing the upcoming wedding.

They talked for a few good hours, writing down details and dates. Soon Ginny stood up and yawned. "Harry and I are going to be leaving now as it's quite late and I have classes tomorrow morning. Goodnight everyone."

"Goodnight," Harry echoed before he and Ginny flooed to her flat.

"That went better than expected. I thought my brothers would go ballistic. Not surprisingly Ron did, but what else is new right?" Ginny laughed.

Harry smiled. "Well, actually Ron did threaten me when you went inside with you mother but other then that, I was accepted with open arms. I was pleasantly surprised, but after I explained to them how much I loved you, how could I not be accepted."

When Harry didn't get a response after a few minutes, he turned around to see Ginny fast asleep on the couch. So he covered her with a blanket and pressed a kiss to her forehead before apparating back to his place.


A/N: I tried to incorporate things I got in reviews into the fic so I hope everyone likes it.

Thank you so much for the great reviews. They made me smile. Sorry it took a while but I was in the afterglow of reading Harry Potter book 6 and I just couldn't write Harry Potter for a bit.

Thanks to Kelly, my wonderful muse….she and the reviews keep me writing. I am a very lazy person and probably wouldn't write without her lol. So she needs a lot of thanks.

Now I have no idea what is coming up next so I am open to suggestions like always. Enjoy the chappie :)
