Each of them reacted to the situation differently.

Ron's ears started to turn pink.

Molly looked as if she saw a ghost.

Harry eyed Draco warily.

Hermione just scowled at the young couple, thinking that something worst than the Battle is gonna start right there at the living room.

Arthur looked as if someone had stunned him.

"Why did you bring this git home Ginny?" Ron asked, trying very hard to control himself from lunging at Draco and punching the daylights out of him.

"Well, since the Battle is over and Draco's had been proven innocent, I guess this is the perfect timing."

"The Battle might be over Ginny, but you know how we feel about this brat that you call boyfriend. He may be proven innocent, but he's still the same slimy bastard we know since our first year."

"For Merlin's sake, Ron! Do you think I would just apparate with him into our home without thinking about how you guys feel? It's time to move on Ron. Hogwarts was years ago. We're all grown wizards and witches now. Draco had proved himself innocent, not a bloody death eater. For once, think about how I feel. I'm sick of holding back this secret for two goddamn years! Yes-," Ginny continued after receiving astonished looks from people in the room, "that's how long we've been together. I don't freaking give a damn about his past as we all have dark secrets and moments in the past!"

"Just listen to yourself Ginny! He's the guy who had insulted us back then. Insulted us, insulted our family, and insulted our friends! How could you put up with him for two freaking years and never breathe a word about it to us?"

"Well, because this is what I'm afraid would happen. I thought as time goes by, you would be more open towards this issue. And I guess, I thought wrong!!" Ginny shouted at his brother, with tears threatening to spill over on her rosy cheeks.

Draco, who had been quiet throughout the argument, spoke.

"Mr. and Mrs. Weasley, Ron, I'm sorry if my visit had caused this to happen. I- I just wanted to apologize for being who I was during our times at Hogwarts. I truly am. My feelings for Ginny are sincere. I really hope we could put the past behind. I'm really extremely sorry," he said, with a tinge if sadness in his voice.

"Easy for you to say, Malfoy! You think you can just barge into our home and ask for forgiveness, thinking that you'll be forgiven? Fat hope," Ron shouted.

"Draco, I suggest you leave and let us discuss this," Arthur said calmly.

"I will, Mr. Weasley. Once again, I'm sorry," Draco said, and then vanished from sight.

The tension in the room could be sliced with a knife. Nobody dared to speak up. It was that way until Ginny stood up.

"OK, are you guys just gonna sit here and stare at me as if I have murdered someone, or are we gonna discuss this, in a CIVIL manner?" she asked impatiently.

"You know what Ginny? You betrayed us by dating that Malfoy!! That's equivalent to killing someone to me," Ron retorted.

For the first time, Hermione spoke.

"Ron, I think you're exaggerating here. Look, I don't favor Draco either. But hey, love is not something that you can control. If it happens, it happens. No potion or spell can force love to happen. And in this situation, it just happened between Ginny and Draco," Hermione said.

"So you're calling him Draco now? Since when are you on first-name basis with him?" Ron asked Hermione, with a skeptical look on his face.

Knowing that this conversation is going nowhere, Mr. Weasley spoke.

"Look Ginny, I think you've got to give us some time to take in the situation. It's not everyday that my daughter brings home an enemy of the family for a boyfriend. But I assure you love, it's gonna be okay."

He proceeded to give his daughter a hug. Ginny then turn to her mother.

"It's ok, baby, it's ok," Mrs. Weasley said in a soothing tone.

Ginny turned to Harry and Hermione. The couple smiled at her.

"Well Ginny, if you think this is the best for you, you'll have our support. You're like a sister to us. And obviously, we don't want to see you get hurt, especially by a guy like Malfoy. We are worried about you and you know we care," Harry said in a reassuring voice.

"Thanks guys," Ginny replied and hugged the both of them.

Ron was still fuming when Ginny looked at him. He then stalked up the stairs without turning back.

"Erm, it's getting late and I think we should be leaving," Hermione said.

"Yeah, good night Mr. and Mrs. Weasley. Dinner was great," Harry says.

"No problem, my dears. Do come by more often so we could discuss the wedding plans further," replied Mrs. Weasley, giving them a peck of kiss each.

With that, Harry and Hermione apparated back into their apartment.
