Okay, so I did change some things to make this chapter flow a little better with my timeline and fill in missing gaps. Enjoy!

Chapter 6: An Accident in It's Making

Ginny was having the time of her life. This was everything she had always dreamed of and more. As she dodged away from Gwen's team catching and throwing the quaffle, she was taking in the scenery around her.

They had been playing for over an hour and Ginny had scored three goals for every two of Gwen's. Demeltza nodded her head in approval.

"You're doing great!" Dem yelled as she flew past.

"I got it!" Carmen yelled suddenly as she flew towards the ground.

As the ladies were beginning to make their decent, the five Weasley brothers appeared dragging Harry Potter by his collar.

"What are you doing?" Ginny shrieked as she came within earshot. He looked like they'd given him a beating. Gwen saw them too and held the other girls back.

"Take a lap ladies!" she yelled to the team.

Ginny wasn't even half way to the ground when she jumped off her broom and took off toward the six men, pulling her wand out and threatening a jinx.

"Calm down little sis," George said holding his hands up.

"Why, would you come to interrupt my practice dragging my fiancé who looks as though he's been jinxed, if you expect me to be calm!" she shouted, "let him go and explain yourselves," she demanded, pointing her wand at Bill.

"You wouldn't,"

"Try me," Ginny was thoroughly angry with her brothers.

"We weren't about to let the git hurt you," Percy said as Bill pushed Harry forward causing him to fall flat on his face, just an arm's length from where Ginny was standing.

"Hurt me? What in the bloody hell are you talking about?" Ginny's teammates were trying not to listen in as Gwen kept them in the air. They could still hear every word Ginny was screaming.

"What happened a few days ago? You know, Christmas day," Charlie said. Ginny blushed, how in the world her brothers, especially Charlie, knew about this was far beyond her.

"That's none of your business!" Ginny spat trying not to jynx one or all of them. Harry rolled over onto his back, grunting. This was why she hadn't already jinxed them.

"It is when you're our baby sister who's just over age, hasn't graduated, not married yet, and is supposed to still have her innocence about her," Ron spoke up, "Best mate or not, family comes first," Ron said looking at the ground.

"Get out of here," Ginny grumbled through her teeth. Her brothers looked at her in disbelief. Gwen came closer to the group and drew her own wand sensing that things were about to get ugly.

"You have ten seconds or I'm going to jynx you, and tell mum and dad that you attacked me," she closed her eyes and started counting. Before she hit seven she had heard four pops, indicating that there was only one Weasley brother still standing before her. It was Bill.

"We only wanted to protect you," he said quietly.

"I'm old enough to know what I want. My sex life is my own personal business and you can't protect me forever. For your information, we are engaged now, and I see no reason why you gits think that I need protecting from Harry of all people. I understand you're furious, but that is no reason for you five to act like you are! I am not a child anymore. Now, get out of here," she spoke trying to hold her tears of fury back.

"I'm sorry Ginny. It's just that we've had enough loss, and you'll forever be our baby sister regardless of how old you are. It's rough on big brothers like us who think you're supposed to be innocent forever," Bill replied sadly, "Mum doesn't know about this, but does she know about the engagement? When were you planning on telling us?"

"She does know, but we hadn't thought as far as telling everyone else yet. Thank you for not telling mum about this too, but that doesn't mean I'm not still furious with all of you." Ginny turned her attention to Harry who was still on the ground at her feet.

"Are you okay? What did they do to you?" she asked. There was a final pop as Bill returned home. Harry tried to sit up but Ginny pushed him back down. She looked into his bright green eyes and suddenly found herself not being able to contain her tears. He reached up and wiped her cheeks.

Gwen signaled to the other girls that it was time to head to the changing rooms. This was something they didn't need to invade on.

"When you're ready come shower and change. We'll talk later, but great practice Weasley," Gwen said to her as she flew past. Ginny looked up and met eyes with her Captain and they nodded in a silent understanding.

"I'm sorry," Harry whispered.

"Don't say it like that, it sounds like you're dying," she gushed. He chuckled quietly to himself.

"What did they do?" Harry finally sat up and wrapped his arms around her and she sobbed into his chest.

"Your brothers were been spying on us when we left Andromeda's. They somehow knew we'd gone to Grimmauld place. I don't know how we didn't notice another presence," he shook his head, "Percy was the spy, but the others were the ones who instigated it all. Bill, Charlie, Ron. They cornered me after they knew you were gone and threw a couple of curses my way. I tried to explain to them that it was mutual and I'd never do anything to intentionally hurt you." Ginny sobbed harder and wrapped her own arms around her holding onto him as tight as she could.

"Oh Harry, I'm s-s-sorry! I s-s-should have jinxed them a m-m-moment ago," she bawled.

"Shh, I'm alright now. They hexed me until I couldn't stand. I still don't think I can stand on my legs right now. Then they decided to drag me here, I guess for the purpose to upset you, I don't really know. Your mum'll never trust me again if she finds out about this," he sighed.

"Shh, it's okay, I'm alright now, I'm with you," he said, trying to wipe her tears away.

"I'm just s-s-so mad-d-d," there was no way he could release her grip on him.

Gwen slowly walked back out onto the field. She wasn't sure she wanted to interrupt but Harry caught her eye and motioned her over.

"Is everything alright? Anything I can do to help?" she asked.

"I don't think so, at least, not right this moment," Harry replied. Ginny had taken to sniffling now, her grip on Harry was loose.

"Come on Weasley, you're tougher than them any day. Don't let them ruin your life," Gwen said holding out her hand. "Want some help up?" Ginny took her hand and stood up, but Gwen had to grab her shoulders to steady her.

"Thanks," Ginny replied wiping the tears from her eyes and face. Gwen hugged her and she laughed and let more tears fall.

"I'm so sorry, I'm such a mess. This wasn't supposed to happen, I hope it doesn't make you think any less of me," she sobbed.

"It's okay, we'll make things right. You were great out there. Things in life happen that you don't plan for and can't control. That doesn't mean you're any less of a person." Ginny nodded her head as Gwen released her. She held her hand out to Harry.

"I don't think I can move my legs yet, they hit me with several different things pretty hard," he said when he saw her gesture. Gwen moved to grab his legs and Ginny grabbed the underside of his arms to at least get him on his feet. Together they brought him into the room just outside the changing rooms and sat him down on one of the benches.

"Thanks," he said as Gwen patted Ginny on the shoulder, smiled at both of them, and ushered the other girls away.

"What now?" Ginny asked, sitting down beside him.

"I don't want to get them into any amount of trouble. You never know what they'll blame me of." Harry said. "I've never seen Ron so disappointed and angry with me. Do you think he will forgive me?" he asked.

"He better; He's the one who needs forgiveness from you. We didn't do anything wrong. It's not like they've all never slept with anyone before. I'd be shocked if he and Hermione weren't fooling around at the very least." Ginny replied.

"I think you're going to need to be seen by a healer," she added, "you said yourself you didn't know what all they hit you with, there could be other things wrong," the tears started coming back.

"Ginny, love, don't cry. It's all going to be okay, if you think I should go to St. Mungos then I won't argue," he kissed the top of her head, "I think you should shower and change first," he smiled into her hair. She smiled herself, and leaned up to kiss him before heading into the changing room.

As soon as she walked through the door, the girls all bombarded her with questions. She stood there quietly until they were all done talking.

"Harry and I haven't exactly told all of my family we are engaged yet. My stupid git for brothers found out that we slept together the other night and they didn't take too kindly to finding out. They seem to feel the need to protect me from myself, regardless of the fact I've been proving myself to them since I was eleven," she shook her head.

"I don't think sleeping with someone is bad enough for them to do this," Abigail said. Ginny shrugged.

"I don't know. I'll never understand why they do what they do," she replied hanging her head.

"I'm going to change now, he's out there waiting on me. They did quite a number to him that he can hardly move now." Ginny said grabbing her clothes and walking past them into a stall. She was pulling on her shirt and buttoning her pants when Demeltza appeared behind her.

"I want you to know you can trust us," she said, "none of us are going to speak another word about this, nor would we announce to the world that Harry Potter showed up here looking like your brothers killed him," she said quietly. "I can't imagine the kind of fame Harry has that will forever follow him, and now that same spotlight will be shared with you. We won't do anything to jeopardize the public finding out." Ginny hung her head.

"Thank you," she sniffled, "I just can't believe they'd do this over something so small." Demeltza enveloped her in a hug; Ginny started crying all over again

"For a minute we all thought Gwen was going to have to come down and stop you or them from casting a spell."

"I'm really sorry that you all had to see me like this. I usually don't cry at all," Ginny said.

"Hey, it's okay. Crying isn't a bad thing at all, in fact, Gwen showed up at practice once, bawling her eyes out because her husband left her."

"Gwen was married?" Ginny said wiping her eyes again. Demeltza nodded her head.

"That's why she says that Quidditch and marriage don't mix. She'll never say we can't marry, she just wants us to be focused and not have a spouse worry about being jealous."

"So I've heard," Ginny smiled softly.

"You and Potter seem so serious though," Demeltza said, trying to lighten the mood. "You should have seen yourself when you saw him. Then your defensive stance, man, I'd be afraid to duel you when you're defending someone you love," she smiled as she put her arm around Ginny's shoulders and started walking towards the exit of the changing room.

"I've got to get back to him," Ginny said with a small smile.

"Do you want me to tag along? I know it's good to have some female support around you," Demeltza said. Ginny nodded her head.

"I'd normally ask Hermione, but she's probably on Ron's side." Ginny rolled her eyes. She didn't even want to think about what her best friend and brother's girlfriend would have to say about all of this.

"I'm headed out with Ginny," Demeltza announced. The girls all gathered around giving Ginny a hug and telling her it was all going to be okay before she and Demeltza made it back to Harry

"I was starting to wonder if your shower had captivated you," Harry joked when he saw her.

"Sorry it took so long," Ginny replied as she leaned down to kiss him. Demeltza smiled.

"I'm Demeltza Johnson," she said reaching out her hand to shake Harry's. "Ginny said I could tag along, I hope that's alright,"

"Yeah, that's fine, she probably will need help getting me there since I can't help myself at the moment," he said to her.

"Let's get you to St. Mungos." Ginny said.

"The easiest way would be floo," Demeltza said.

"You're probably going to need an extra hand or two," Abigail said, walking into the room, "I'm headed there to visit my sister anyways. She just had a baby. I can go ahead of you, Ginny you and Harry can follow that way I can help you on the other side and then Dem can follow and take over." They all nodded their heads. Abigail set foot into the fireplace and was gone.

"St. Mungos" Ginny called. Instantly she and Harry were there.

"Thanks Abigail" Ginny said hugging the girl again as Demeltza appeared to help again.

"Call me Abby, and no problem," she smiled as she headed off toward the maternity ward.

"Let's get to the check-in desk before we get swarmed by onlookers," Harry said as he spotted what looked like a fifteen year old girl's face light up at seeing him. They said nothing as Ginny and Demeltza dragged him over to the check-in desk.
