Last On New Life, New Beginning
" Dumbledore," Fred drawled,
" seems to have forgotten that you are a 17 year old boy who had absolutely every intention of suicide."
" I do not have every intention of suicide." Harry piped.
" Yes, that's why you sneak out of Hogwarts in the middle of the battle to let Voldemort kill you." Charlie's eyes glinted.
" It was necessary!"
" Maybe it was but couldn't you have bid us farewell?"
" Then, you wouldn't let me go. The ending would be different. I'm happy how it turned out. Yes, we might have lost Dumbledore and a few other amazing people but they all died with the hope of ending the battle so that if not them, their family and friends or even the next generation would not have to go through whatever they have gone through. I went to Voldemort with that same hope."
The brothers sat in silence before Bill stood up and gestured for the other red heads to follow.
A few minutes later, the 5 brothers emerged with identical grins.
" I supposed you were right. We all liked the ending too. We forgive you for not telling us, maybe sometimes, secrets are made to be kept." Bill smiled.
Dinner at the Burrow were unusually quiet despite the large attendance. Arthur sat at the head of the table with Molly on his right and Bill on his left. Fleur had went back to Beaubaxtons to settle some matters. Charlie sat next to Molly, Percy sat opposite Charlie, much to both brother's displeasure. Fred and George finally settled down after a squabble of who is not going to seat with Percy about which George won that match. Ron and Hermione sat down with a grinning George while Ginny and Harry sat next to a glum Fred. Tonks and Remus sat facing each other, with Sirius seating in the middle of the couple. Ron's scowling and George's snort of amusement was the first thing that broke the deadly silence in the Burrow.
" Ladies and Gentlemen," George glanced up at Fred and both exchanged a wicked grin before turning to the table.
" Let us tell you a story"
"about a red hair weasley boy"
" named Ronald."
" He was in love with a girl"
" same year"
"same house"
" that girl was a beauty"
" with bushy hair"
" brightest witch of her age"
" part of the Golden Trio"
"with Ronnie-kins of course"
" Yes, Ronnie-kins, we can't forget him, can we"
" No, of course we can't. So Ronnie-kins..."
" was this pitiful boy who had a crush on the beautiful bookworm since Year 4,"
" but being the boy he was"
" foolish, i say"
" Yes, i guess you could call him that"
" So foolish Ronnie didn't actually confessed to her"
" He only sulked around when he saw the beautiful girl go to the Yule Ball with Victor"
" and then continued the silent pined for Hermione in his 5th Year.
" Then in his sixth year"
" Mione's distant herself from him"
" Cause Ronnie-kins was being stupid"
" Ronnie was pretty upset"
" it did not help when he saw Ginny and Dean snogging"
" which Dean haven't got what he deserves by kissing our innocent sister"
Ginny glared at the twins which both twins conveniently ignored.
" Back to the story,"
" Ron and Ginny got into a fight about her relationship with Dean,"
" Which we wholesomely support."
" Ginny countered that he was so angry because he never kissed a girl before when everyone else has"
" Ron realized our dear Ginevra was corre... oomph "
Ginny smirked but the twins continued.
" Ginny. Ron realized Ginny was correct. "
" So he went out with Lav Lav"
" But Lav Lav proved to be a terrible girlfriend"
" Yes, she was, wasn't she."
" Yes, and they snog a lot."
" too much i would say"
" Ron was being more and more a bastard to Hermione"
" and Hermione was too jealous about Ron and Lavender to care"
"So mione mione,"
" that silly girl"
" brought Mclaggen to Slughorn's party"
" Christmas wasn't a whole lot of joy for Ron"
" cause mione mione was ignoring him,"
" and even showed him 'The Look'"
" imagine the horror, Fred"
" Hermione, giving the look,"
" Oh shivers."
" The joy when his birthday came,"
" Presents were one thing he did not have any less"
" but everyone knows, he wanted a present from Granger herself"
" However, poor Ronnie ate chocolates left and actually made for Harry,"
" Cause Ronnie was greedy,"
" I wouldn't disagree"
" Harry took poor Ron to Slughorn, who cured him in less than 5 minutes,"
" A master, he is."
" Dear greedy Slughorn, took Dumbledore's gift, wanting to share it with Ronnie for his birthday..."
" Hold On. Please tell me that this isn't going to be a overview of Ronald's life, cause if it was, Moony, little Prongie and Ronnie and me have a date. So I'm afraid we can't stay." Sirius interrupted.
" A date, you say?" Hermione eyes glinted dangerously in Ron's direction.
" Yes, we have a gay date, mione. " Sirius pecked Hermione's cheek mischievously as he got up and cleared his plate.
Tonks chuckled.
Fred grinned.
" Gred, here we have it. Evidence to prove the Marauders are gays. Now they are going to influenced poor Ronnie and little Prongie."
The twins cried dramatically and left the kitchen stating they will cry for the two all night for their misfortune.
" They are skipping washing duty." Ginny and Ron declared together.
" Well," Molly smiled sweetly at Ginny,
" That means, Ginny, you're clearing up."
" But MUM! It's their duty!"
" Ginny, you are old enough,"
" Now you say i'm old enough.." Ginny muttered.
" You should know that your brothers are tired and upset..."
" Of Harry and Ron turning gay? I highly doubt that that's the reason."
" Ginny,"
Ginny knew that her mother wasn't talking about the twins being tired and upset about Harry and Ron being gay but about the war. However, it seems that everyone had make a silent agreement on not talking about the war. Thus, Ginny didn't bring it up.
" Gin, I'll help you with the dishes."
Ginny looked up in surprise at the speaker.
Everyone stared at the speaker, astounded.
"Did you just said you'll help Ginny wash the dishes?" Tonks raised her eyebrows,
" Well, yeah." Ron answered as he stood up and started clearing everyone's dishes with a flick of his wand.
" Sure," Ginny answered uncertainly.
Remus grinned at Ginny,
" Well, it looks like Ron's relationship with Mione has taught him to help out with household chores."
Ginny caught Remus smile and teased,
" Well, Ron could be the stay home dad in the future."
" I guess i could teach Ron some spells or two for household spells" Molly smiled
" MOM!"
Hermione paced up and down the Burrow, worry etched on her concerned face, deep in her thoughts.
A sigh was heard from the sofa.
" Mione, would you stop pacing up and down? I'm getting dizzy here." Fred scowled.
" The four bumbling idiots aren't back yet." Hermione answered curtly and flunked herself on the red sofa next to Fred.
George who sat on the floor, eyes trained on the chessboard, spoke up
" They went for a post-war drink, hermy. Relax. Sirius and Remus will take care of them."
Ginny snorted lightly from opposite George.
" Well, Remus will take care of all of them." George corrected hastily.
" Ah! Ginny there goes your knight!" George exclaimed.
" They needed a boys night out. You are too uptight. You should go flying sometimes." Tonks joked from the kitchen.
" Hermione?"
" Flying?"
" Impossible."
The three Weasley chortled with laughter.
" I can fly! I'm a witch, for Merlin's sake!" Hermione cried indignantly.
" yeah righttttt" Fred muttered.
" You cannot fly to save your live. And that is not a figure of speech." Tonks grinned mischievously.
" I agree, Yes! Checkmate George! You lose." Ginny cried victoriously.
Ignoring Ginny's outburst, Hermione set in a determined face.
" I can fly. And I'll show you just how." Hermione stood up and turned to her companions,
" Well, you guys are coming, right?"
The Burrow was silently. Molly and Arthur had went to bed. Harry and Ron went for a drink with Remus and Sirius. The only people who
were left were currently at the pitch.
" I can do this." The bushy hair witch muttered.
" Of course you can, just maybe not now. Or forever." George replied cheekily.
" You're right. I can't fly." Hermione gave up.
" You can't give up, you haven't even sat on the broom!" Tonks smiled encouragingly.
" Trust me, flying's fun. Once you got used to it." Ginny grinned.
" Well, if you say so..." Hermione got on the broom slowly,
" Good. Now, push. Push yourself into the air." Tonks guided.
A hesitant breath, and pushed.
" AAAAAAHHH! HELP!" Hermione screamed.
" Hermione, you are not even flying." Fred answered deadpanned.
" Well... You see maybe I'm a witch..."
" No excuses. Now push. Let the wind lift you." Fred commanded.
Closing her eyes, Hermione let a grim smile take over her features. She pushed. Nope. Still on the ground. She pushed again. She hovered above the ground before falling back down.
"HERMIONE!"
Startled, Hermione stomped her feet on the ground, letting the wind lift her up.
The wind that whipped her face felt exhilarating. She felt that she was on the top of the world. The cheers emitted from below excited her. She felt like she had just came in top for OWL's and everyone was cheering for her.
"HEY MIONE!" The cry shook her awake and she finally looked down. Losing all concentration, she fell.
Screams pierced through the silent air but it was not hers. It was..Ron's?
She didn't know what happened but the next thing she knew she was in Fred's arms with Ginny, George and Tonks all up in the air with her.
Fred slowly flew Hermione down while the rest of the fliers flew straight down waiting for the duo.
Hermione was visibly shaking when Fred settled her down. Hermione couldn't concentrate on her surroundings. Falling from the broom was really traumatizing Knowing that Hermione needed her rest, Tonks brought her to Ginny's room to rest.
After ensuring that Hermione was rested properly, Tonks slowly closed the door and made her way down only to find Ginny and Sirius engaged in a heated argument.
Well, only that Ginny was doing all the talking and Sirius was well, Sirius. Ron and Harry were flung carelessly on the sofa with Fred and George chuckling over them. Remus stood, leaning on the kitchen counter, an amused grin on his devilishly handsome face.
" They are only 17 years old! Getting them drunk and back at such a ungodly hour! Sirius, do you not know anything?" Ginny thundered.
Remus blinked at the raging girl before his eyes travelled to Tonks. Smiling foolishly, he bowed, gesturing wildly. Unfortunately, Ginny caught sight of the gesture.
" Remus John Lupin! I trusted and expected you to bring them home safely but you got yourself drunk too!" Rubbing her forehead tiredly, Ginny frowned at the 4 totally sloshed men.
"Enervate." She spoke simply, pointing her wand at the 4 gits.
The 4 boys awoke with a start, looked at each other before laughing manically.
The laughter was infectious, especially in a scene of which were 4 men who resemble Draco after he had been attacked by a Hippogriff. The image in front of Tonks really resembles to the Draco that Harry and Ron were so fond of describing.
Even Ginny cracked a smile.
Then, all of a sudden, Harry stood up and walked up to Ginny sloppily.
" Beautiful Madam, could i have the honour of escorting you to your room?" A cheeky smile resided on Harry's face.
Ginny's face flushed over and stilled for a moment before glaring at Harry.
" Did you flirt with every 'beautiful madam' you see just now? With offers to escort them to their room?" One could hear the joking tone in Ginny's voice, but being drunk with firewhiskey, Harry thought she was angry.
"NO! No, I'm serious, Ginny, I did not flirt with anyone just now. You can ask them!" Harry hands flew up in a wild gesture before pointing at Ron.
" He's right. A lot of girls came up to him and one even kissed him. ON THE LIPS. Harry pushed her away though. "
"After a while. And, dude, she was beautiful. " Ron added after considering.
Harry groaned.
" After a while? Harry James Potter! You let a 'beautiful girl' kissed you for A WHILE! We haven't even kissed after we made up!"
" Ginny, that girl just forced herself on me. I was shocked."
"Shocked? Oh so next..." Ginny was cut off rudely when Harry pushed his lips hardly on Ginny's.
Tonks and Remus both chuckled at the boy's antics, while the 3 Weasley brothers had a look of disgust. And Sirius, went back to sleeping on the sofa.
"Hey, Potter. Not in front of us!" The brothers shouted in unison.
" I'm sorry, your lips just looked so damn inviting." Harry said breathlessly.
" Well, I'm pretty sure they'll invite your lips again anytime soon." Ginny smiled before leaning in for another kiss.
"I'll accept it then."
The two blissful lovers continued unaware of the dirty looks they were receiving.
