(a/n: The second chapter of the sequel!
It's in third person, not from anyone's point of view...
Read on, oh faithful ones!
------------------------
Lily looked at her mother through the green flames, her plead evident on her sixteen-year-old face.
"Please, Mum! It's just one date!" Lily said.
"Where are you planning on going?" Ginny asked with a sigh, finally relenting.
She couldn't say no to Lily. Even if she did want to go out with the Malfoy's child...
"We're just going to Hogsmeade together. I don't think Lukus said anything about going anywhere in particular," Lily said.
"All right then. Be good! I want a report when you get back this afternoon!" Ginny said, grinning slightly.
"Oh, Mum!" Lily feigned a whine at their personal joke.
As she had promised, Lily had owled Ginny when she'd gone to her Gryffindor dormitory that night after the Welcoming Feast. The letter was so long that it took her the entire night to read it; hence, the report was a customary joke whenever Lily did something away from home.
"Have fun, Lily-love," Ginny said, smiling at her.
"I will! Thank you, Mum!" Lily said eagerly, and then cut the connection.
Ginny sat on the chair, looking at the fireplace for a few moments later.
"You always said that Draco was good, Harry. Perhaps his child will be even better," she murmured quietly.
Outside, the wind blew at the wind chime, the tinkling sound echoing through the house.
"Ma'am Ginny?" Kreacher asked, popping into the sitting room.
"Yes, Kreacher?" Ginny asked, smiling at him.
"Misters Fred and George are at the front door," Kreacher said.
"Thank you, Kreacher," Ginny said, leaving to welcome her brothers out of the cold.
Kreacher looked at the wind chime with a half smile. The wind that had blown it died down as Ginny left the room. With a bow, Kreacher disappeared to the kitchen.
------------------------
"Did he kiss you?" Fred and George asked immediately, their grinning faces contradicting their stern tones.
"No!" Lily cried, her face going bright red.
"Good. Make sure it stays that way for the next twenty years," they said, grinning still.
"Mum! Make them stop teasing me! It was my first date with him, for the gods' sakes!" Lily said, her face reddening further.
"So you're going on more than one, are you?" Fred and George asked, loving the way they could tease their niece so easily.
"Boys! Stop interrogating her, or I'll teach her the Bat Bogey Hex," Ginny threatened.
Fred and George immediately paled and moved away from the fireplace.
"It's all right, Lily-love. Just ignore their teasing," Ginny said with a soft smile, then turning to glare at her brothers. "Did you have fun?" Ginny asked Lily.
"Yes," Lily said enthusiastically, smiling brightly. "No matter what Uncle Ron says, I think Lukus is really nice," Lily said, blushing once more.
"And what has your Uncle Ron been saying about him?" Ginny asked.
Fred and George winced as they recognised the tone of voice Ginny used. It was one they'd heard their own mother use time and time again.
"Never mind!" Lily said quickly, cutting off the connection before her mother could wear her down and get her to confess.
Ginny growled, then immediately opened the connection to Ron's office.
"Hello, Ron Weasley's office. How can I be of assistance?" his secretary asked, smiling brightly. "Oh, hello Ma'am. Would you like me to get Ron for you?"
"Yes please," Ginny said, her smile betraying her intentions.
The second Ron's face appeared, Ginny started yelling at him.
Fred and George Apparated away with extra care to not make a noise.
------------------------
"I'm sorry for pressing my own ideas about the Malfoy's onto you, Lily-love," Ron finished his apology.
Lily had held back her laughter due to courtesy, but now started laughing heartily. Ron's timid expression fell to a frown.
"What is so funny?" Ron demanded.
"Mum made you apologise, didn't she?" Lily asked through her laughter.
Ron's ears went red and he looked away, muttering about insane sisters and the Bat Bogey Hex.
"Do you accept my apology?" Ron asked. "Your mother wants proof," he said, holding up a scrap piece of parchment.
"I accept your apology, Uncle Ron," Lily said, still laughing softly, even as she leant through the fire to sign it. "Say hello to Aunt Hermione for me," she said, waving him off, laughing again.
Ron grumbled once more, and then cut the fire connection off.
