As soon as Lily and Molly got outside, Lily was scooped up in a bone-crushing hug. She looked up, and saw the familiar face of Hagrid.
"Everyone alive again!" he cried. "I'm just so happy!" Lily smiled, and returned the hug.
"It's good to see you too, Hagrid," she said.
Then, they hear Ron shouting from the other side of the yard," No, no, no! We're still short 2 people!" Al the Weasely children were gathered at one end of the yard with Katie, Angelina, James, Sirius, Cedric, and Harry. They were all armed with their brooms; Lily couldn't figure out where the brooms had come from though.
"There are six Weasleys, ok, seven people with the last name 'Weasley', Ginny, me, Cedric, Dad, and Sirius. That makes 12. What if we put one Beater on each tem?" Harry suggested.
"That just might work," George said. "What if we put me, Katie, Ginny, Bill, Cedric, and James on one team, and everyone else on the other?" Everyone nodded in agreement.
"You keep that Bludger away from the house!" Molly yelled.
"Don't worry, Molly! James and I built a Quidditch pitch just past the woods," replied Sirius. The group mounted their brooms, and kicked off.
Sure enough, there was a large Quidditch pitch just past a small grove of trees. Charlie placed the box Oliver had dropped off in the middle of the field on the ground.
"Who'll release the Bludger and Snitch?" he asked. Harry zoomed down to the ground.
"I will," he offered.
"Ok, you're not allowed to actually the Snitch until you're up in the air," Charlie said. "You got that, Gin?" he called up to his sister. "Don't touch the Snitch until Harry gets up in the air!" Ginny nodded to show that she had heard him. Harry released the Bludger, Snitch, and finally, the Quaffle. He then mounted his broom, and flew up next to Ginny.
"I don't want you to do anything stupid during the game, Gin," Harry said to his wife quietly. Even though he didn't say it, Ginny knew he mane, "Be careful, because of the baby." Smiling, she kissed him on the cheek.
"Don't worry, Harry. I'm not that dumb," she said.
"Hey, lovebirds!" Sirius called out. "Get your head in the game!" Harry looked at Ginny and shrugged.
Ten minutes later, the game was still going on. Ginny's team was winning, but everything relied on the finding of the Golden Snitch.
"Watch out, Potter!" Cedric called out. Suddenly, the Bludger came flying, just barely missing Harry's head. Surprised, Harry fell off his broom. Luckily, his quick reflexes saved him. He grabbed hold of the broom, and swung his leg over it.
"Harry! You of all people should know that if you fall off your broom, than you end up spending at least a week in the hospital!" Ron said to his best friend. Harry shot him a deadly stare.
Harry looked towards Ginny. In a flash, she began to dive. Harry was about to follow in suit, when he saw a gold blur near where Ginny had just been.
"She's play monkey-see, monkey-do with me!" he said to himself. Without waiting another second, he sped off, hand outstretched. Ginny looked up, and realized what Harry was doing, but it was too late. Her team had lost. Fred let out a cheer.
"Fred!" Bill yelled from near the ground. "Celebrate later! Right now you have to get that Bludger away!" Fred scowled.
"Why me?" he demanded.
"Because he told you to! Now hurry up, lunch's almost done!" Charlie said sternly.
It took Fred, George, James, and Sirius nearly fifteen minutes to get the Bludger back into the case. Everyone else got bored watching them struggle, and left. Harry and Ginny slipped into seats next to their Mothers. Harry was drinking a Butterbeer, while Ginny had some Pumpkin Juice.
"Gin, do you want a Butterbeer?" Ron asked her as he sat down next to Hermione. Ginny shook her head.
"No thanks, I'm good," she said. Hermione found it weird that her friend turned down a drink. It's not that she had a drinking problem; she just found it unusual. Ginny was keeping something from her, and she was intent on finding out what it was.
For the next hour, all the guests enjoyed Molly's fantastic cooking. At one point, Fleur came over to say hello. Her blonde hair was pulled back into a simple French-braid.
"Happy birthday, Harry," she said. Harry looked at her.
"Thank you, Fleur. How have you been lately?" he asked. She sighed, and brushed a loose strand of hair out of her eyes.
"Busy," she said simply. Harry understood. She had two-year old twins, Andre and Noel. She was also raising her 15-year-old sister, Gabrielle. After Voldemort hear about the Delacour's relationship to the Weasley's, they were killed. Fleur and Bill were now raising a teenage girl. Harry looked over at Gabrielle. She seemed to be arguing with Bill over something, but there was a smile on her face. She had grown so much since the Tri-Wizard Tournament. On her lap, she was bouncing the platinum-haired Noel. Noel looked like Fleur, while Andre picked up the classic Weasley red-hair and freckles. Hermione wanted to bring the Delacour's back to life; she'd have to talk to Bill about that at some point.
After Harry stopped chatting with Fleur, Ginny leaned over, and whispered in his ear, "When are we going to tell everyone?"
"Soon. Just a few more minutes," he replied. True to his word, Harry stood up, ready to tell everyone their wonderful news. "Can I please have everyone's attention for a moment?" he asked. The guests immediately quieted down. All eyes were on him. "As most of you already know, I'm not the best at speeches. So, to save everyone the boredom, this isn't a speech. This is a very important announcement. Ginny and I are going to have a baby!" Cheers erupted, and Harry felt himself being hugged, and pat on the back. All of a sudden, Lily gave him a crushing hug. Harry could tell that she was crying. The only thing he could really do was return the hug. Then, Lily moved on to give Ginny a hug.
"I have a potion that'll help out with stopping morning sickness," she told her. Ginny told her Mother-in-Law thank you.
"I it's the same potion that Lily used, then beware. It doesn't help out when it comes to cravings in the middle of the night, mood swings, and raging hormones," James said, earning him a whack on the back of the head from his wife. Harry looked around with a smile. Today was one of the happiest days of his life.
A/N: Ok, let me explain what happens next. This is the end of "part 1". The next chapters take place 1 ½ years later. My computer's on the fritz, but its ok now (wasn't working earlier, or else this would have been posted earlier). While you wait for the major plot twist in the next few chapters, click on that lovely review button; check out "I Want a Baby!" (by Mrs.RhettButlerorHarryPotter. It has the same plot-line of sorts), or check out one of my other fan fics. Until next time!
