Chapter 5
"What! How long?" Mrs. Weasley said, turning beet red.
"A couple of months ago." Said Ron, hiding behind Hermione.
"Ron! You'd rather she killed me than you!" Hermione said trying to hide behind Ron.
"No. I'm her son, she'll kill me more!"
"That's not even possible! Quit being a baby!"
"I'm not going to kill either of you. I might send the four of you back to Umbridge though."
"No. Mrs. Weasley, that's not necessary." Hermione said with a look of fear.
"I'm only kidding. I wouldn't send anyone to her to be torchered. That's just plain cruel. But, why didn't you write or something? I mean, Ginny and Harry didn't tell me anything about their relationship until Fleur let it slip a week or so ago. And now this, I guess I'm just feeling like you don't want me around." Mrs. Weasley said looking like she was about to cry.
"Oh, no! Mrs. Weasley! Don't cry! We didn't tell you because we wanted to tell you in person!" Hermione said comfortingly.
"Sorry, Mrs. Weasley. We really wanted to tell you, but we were still stupid kids and I was trying not to like her in that way at the time." Harry added.
"Oh, don't worry about it! I'm just being silly as usual. Let's start planning." Mrs. Weasley said with a smile.
"Well, we haven't... really... thought... about it..." said Harry before reallizing what he was saying.
"No, no mom! He didn't mean it like it sounded! I would love your help planning!"
"Well, if you don't even want me to help plan then I won't bother!" And with that she headed to her room and slammed the door.
"I'll go talk to her." said Harry rushing off towards the bedroom door.
"Harry, wait. Don't barge in on her just yet. She's just in shock. You can talk to her in the morning." Hermione said.
"Yeah, come on Harry. Let's all get to bed." Ginny said grabbing Harry's hand.
"Well, I guess it can wait. But I don't like to leave her so upset!"
A few moments later Mrs. Weasley stepped out looking as though she'd just stopped crying.
"It would be very rude of me not to show everyone where they're sleeping." she said with a meaningful look at Ginny and Harry.
"Look, Mum, Harry didn't know what he was saying. You know how he is, never thinking before he talks. Okay, he usually does, but this time he didn't. He really didn't mean anything by it. I'm really sorry, Mum."
"Yeah, me too. I'm sorry, Mrs. Weasley." Harry said looking ashamed.
"Oh, don't worry about it. Arthur did the funniest thing to my mum when we were engaged-"
"Okay, we don't want to hear any ancient history!" said Ron.
"RON!" Hermione yelled.
"What?"
"Oh! I'm so happy to have you all home!" Mrs. Weasley burst out.
Later that night, Harry and Ginny were sitting in Ginny's room.
"Good night, Ginny." Harry said planting a kiss on her lips.
"Goodnight, Harry." She said wrapping her arms around him.
"I can't wait for the honeymoon," Harry whispered into her ear.
"I love you. See you in the morning." she said with a laugh.
Harry left and Ginny began writing to all of her friends to tell them the good news.
