Chapter 4: At the Burrow

Harry came in with Ron and Hermione to the Burrow. He was nervous beyond hell as he was about to confront Ginny for the first time since the train in June. What if she hates me! What if the rest of her brothers try to hex me into oblivion! God, what am I going to do! Harry thought frantically.

Without warning, a blur of red and blue barreled at him, throwing their arms around his neck. " Harry! I was so damn worried! Where have you been!" said the frantic voice of none other than Ginny Weasley.

Without thinking, Harry pulled her close and kissed her lightly. " Damn, I thought you were gonna kick my arse..." Harry said softly. " I'm sorry I haven't written, but it's hard to explain." He closed his eyes and pulled her close again, drawing in her scent. She smelled so lovely at the moment and he didn't want to let go. He was pulled from his thoughts when he heard Molly from behind Ginny. " Morning, Mrs. Weasley..."

Mrs. Weasley didn't look upset at him one bit, as he feared the family may be. Instead she was smiling as she walked up to him and pulled him into a tight hug. " Don't worry, Harry dear, Jaina's already explained everything to us. Now, what you can do is explain what just occurred between you and my daughter." she said.

Ron and Hermione sniggered as Harry was frog marched into the house. They gave each other a quick look. " Should we tell him?" Hermione said.

" What?" Ron replied. He was looking around for someone.

" Looking for George are you?" Hermione asked.

" Yeah, just trying to find him before it gets too dark. You know how he and Jaina have been since Jonas died..." Ron looked at Hermione. " We can't let her know that we know...But what do you mean by 'Should we tell him' ?" He lead her towards the house and cast a sidelong glance at her.

" You know exactly what I mean..." Hermione said, giving Ron a smile.

Ron raised a perceptive eyebrow. "OH! That..." He replied, and they ran back inside laughing.


Harry and Ginny took a moment to walk over to the woods, looking for Jaina and George. Neither could be found anywhere and Mrs. Weasley was worried about Jaina being alone with George too long. " Do you think they went to London?" Harry said.

" I already know they're there...George took Jaina to make sure she is pregnant...If so...She'll be the school's first expecting teacher." Ginny replied. She felt Harry's hand close around her's and she blushed a heavy crimson. " Why did you kiss me earlier anyway?"

" Hm? Oh..." Harry replied. He turned her towards him. She looked so beautiful like this. Her lips slightly open, just perfect for kissing, her bright brown eyes gazing up into his own green ones, her long red hair clinging to the sweat on her forehead. " For the same reason I did last term. I wanted you to know I still care for you."

Ginny launched her arms around his neck and sighed. " Harry...I can't stand being apart any more...Please come back to Hogwarts this term...I couldn't stand it if you didn't." Her head fell and she buried her face into his chest.

Harry gently lifted her head to look at him. " I already promised Jaina I would come back...So don't be miserable on my account." Harry replied. " And besides...I couldn't bear Dean to try and have another go at trying to pick up my girl again..."

" You don't mean..." Ginny began. She smiled brightly when Harry nodded and he picked her up and spun her around. " What made you change you're mind?"

" It's complicated...but why push the ones you love away when what this can only be won by love." Harry replied. " Besides...I want Ron to know you're not just a fling...That I really care about you. Ginny...My heart has been aching because I can't bear to be without you. Don't give up on me...Please.."

Ginny stood up on her tiptoes and sweetly kissed Harry, his hands holding hers as they rested on his chest.


Jaina looked at the hansom redhead walking beside her. She was scared to death to find out if she was really pregnant. George looked down at her and gave her a reassuring smile. He had always like Jaina, no doubt about it. She was everything he and Fred talked about to be the perfect woman. It was just a bonus that she had gorgeous locks of cascading auburn hair. Her beautiful eyes were mysterious and her smile was, to him anyway, like an angel's. Her tiny hand rested on his arms as they stopped at the entrance to St. Mungo's and George took it in his own.

" Hey, Everything will be alright...If you're pregnant, Sirius will kill Lucius to get back at him..." George began. Or else I'll find Jonas and kill him myself for hurting Jaina. George thought bitterly. He knew there was something about Jonas that he wasn't letting on, that he wasn't telling Jaina. And that alone was a reason for George not to trust him. And the fact that she gave herself to him! Probably how she got pregnant. George really didn't want to hold Jaina at fault for this, but he knew that something had to be done.

While George was thinking Jaina was looking around. She felt something behind them and turned, looking right into the eyes of none other than Jonas. She kept staring at him and ran towards him, but George caught her hand before she ran in front of a muggle bus.

" What are you mental!" George said sharply, hold Jaina to him.

Jaina didn't reply, she was staring at the spot Jonas had been at before the bus had passed. She buried her head into George's jumper and cried. Gods, why now, why did he have to be dead now? Why couldn't he just leave her be if he was? All these thoughts were running through her mind as George lead her to St. Mungo's.

" C'mon Jaina...let's get this test done and be off." George replied He led her inside and looked kindly at the receptionist.

" Anything I can help you with Mr. Weasley?" She said sweetly. " AH! Ms. Black. You're right on time, come come...This way please. Mr. Weasley, if you'll just wait here please I'll be back with Ms. Black."

Jaina was led to a sparkling white room and sat on the gurney there. She waited with the utmost impatience. When she heard the door open again, she turned and greeted the healer there. " Morning Healer Merri..."

" Good morning Ms. Black...So you're here to make sure you're pregnant?"

Jaina nodded. She felt out of place...She was eighteen and she might be pregnant! How stupid could she have been.

" It's alright deary...You need not worry about your pregnancy. Now just lift up your shirt love and we'll get right to it. But just a quick question before we do...Does Mr. Weasley happen to be the lucky daddy?"

" No...The baby's father...He's dead...He was murdered about four days ago."

Healer Merri shook her head. Such a shame that the two weren't having this baby together. They would have some truly beautiful children together. " No worries deary...You're probably better off with Mr. Weasley anyways...Now, about that test..." she said. She pointed her wand at Jaina's bare stomach and whispered an incantation. Jaina's stomach began to glow purple, then blue, then pink, then both. " Congratulations Ms. Black. It's twins..."


Jaina sat in the garden, talking with George. Her head rested on his shoulder and silent tears were streaking down her face. She felt his arms draw her close and she sighed. " What am I going to do George...I'm two months pregnant...I'm supposed to be teaching at Hogwarts, and to top it off...the love of my life is dead..." Jaina whispered. How do I tell them it's twins?

George looked down at her and shook his head. He knew Jonas had to have been a wonderful guy, but something still set him uneasy with each mentioning of him. " Hey...don't worry...I'll take care of you and the baby..." George replied. " I'll even go back to Hogwarts with you...Can you trust me enough though?"

Jaina couldn't help but to let a small smile cross her features. George was so fiercely loyal to her she couldn't believe it sometimes. She had grown up around the Weasley's during her summers. She had played many childhood games with the twins. " Thanks Gred...Where's Forge?"

" Minding the shop in London..." George replied. " He about kicked my arse out of the store when Knickers came zooming in with your owl."

Jaina laughed. " Doesn't surprise me George...Besides...half the pranks you pulled at Hogwarts, were my dad's ideas sometimes."

George looked at her incredulously. " Not the portable swamp!"

Jaina laughed again. " You're right...I guess. Oh damn! I just remembered...I gotta get Dad over here...You know...Surprise the hell outta Molly and Arthur...not to mention Ron and his girlfriend."

George looked away for a second. " Lavender's not here..." he replied, slightly dumbstruck.

Jaina smiled and apparted before George could ask another question of her. " Dammit...Always leaving me on a cliff...I swear..." George said. But the only two girls here are Ginny and He... George looked inside, staring wide eyed at Ron and Hermione. No damn way...I don't believe my ears!


Harry and Ginny set the dining room table, giving each other furtive glances. " You do know that Jaina and George have been back for a while now...Why didn't you go talk to her?" Ginny said.

Harry looked at her. " I sort of feel guilty for Jonas' death. I mean...There had to be more than what I could have done."

" You could have gone back yourself and jumped in the path of the killing curse..." Ginny said, giving Harry a dark look. They finished setting the table and walked into the living room. Without warning, Jaina apparated back inside of the kitchen.

" Hey Molly...I need you're help please!" Jaina called.

Mrs. Weasley hurried into the kitchen only to run back out screaming. " DEAR GOD IN HEAVEN ABOVE!" were her only words. She rushed out side and back into the house, carrying an old broom. " Jaina...You better not be deceiving me!"

" Come on Molly! Why the hell would she do that?" came Sirius' voice.

Ron and Hermione jumped up, hearing his voice and Harry ran into the kitchen, embracing his godfather.

" OH MY GOD! SIRIUS!" Hermione screamed, then running over to him, followed by Ron and Ginny.

" Oh did I forget to mention that I brought him back from beyond the veil?" Jaina said sheepishly, and ducked a quick swing from Molly as the broomstick went whizzing over her head. " Lay off Mol! I'm preg..."

Molly stopped and looked at Jaina apologetically. " I'm sorry dear...I completely forgot..." Mrs. Weasley said as Jaina ran back outside, Sirius in hot pursuit. " Every time she thinks of him or that baby...I pity the man that killed Jonas..."

Harry cringed. He walked outside briskly, finding Sirius out there with her.

" Jaina...Please...I know you love Jonas, but there's no way to bring someone back from the killing curse. I hate to tell you this, but you need to get over him and think about who's going to take care of you and that baby..." Sirius replied. " Do you even know who killed him?"

" Yes..."

Harry winced and laid a hand on Jaina's shoulder. " Don't worry...If I know the Weasley's, they'll be for you every step of the way." Harry replied. " You just worry about yourself...When I receive the next location...I'll go alone. I'll be back soon enough, I promise."

Jaina nodded and sighed. " Dad...Can I stay at Number twelve for now?"

Sirius nodded and hugged his daughter. " I gotta make up for lost time somehow...This'll be a fresh start for both of us." he whispered.

George came outside and looked over to Sirius. " Excuse me Sirius...Would you mind if I talked to Jaina, privately for a moment?"

Sirius nodded and turned to Harry. " C'mon Harry...We need to talk ourselves..." he said.

Harry only nodded and allowed himself to be steered away from his god-sister.


" Jaina..."

" Yeah?"

" What is it?" George said, sitting in the grass with Jaina in front of him.

" What?"

" The baby! Boy, girl, twins, triplets? Well?" George said.

Jaina smiled. " It's a surprise." she replied.

George groaned. Of all the times to be feeling like herself again, it had to be now? He pulled her into a tight hug and inhaled the sweet scent of her delicious auburn hair. Like honey and roses with a hint of lavender. Such a lovely scent, he thought privately.
