Disclaimer: Seriously? Raise your hand if you think I own Harry Potter. Really? Well…PUT YOUR HANDS DOWN! I do not in any way, shape or form own harry Potter, Ginny Weasley, Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger, or any of the other amazing characters created my Ms. J.K. Rowling. I DO, however, own Damian Hurtcha.
Third Person POV
By now, Ginny was sobbing on the floor, holding her belly. Harry put the charm back on the door.
"Now, how about giving me an answer, Ginny, please?"
She nodded. "It's this guy, Damian Hurtcha. He works for the Carrows. But he didn't…erm…de-flower me."
"What do you mean? And who's Damian?" Harry asked.
"It was a c – conception potion. He put me under the Imperius and f – forced me to drink it!"
"Oh my…Ginny. I am so sorry. Why on earth would he do something like that to you?" Harry asked, laying down on the floor, and taking Ginny into his arms. Ginny leaned against his chest.
"It was because I tried to steal Gryffindor's sword from Snape's office." She had finally stopped crying. "But they decided to test the potion out on me, and not the others. They just got detention for the rest of the year, not that they went. I had no choice." Said Ginny.
"You never told me who this Damian Hurtcha was." Said Harry, softly.
"He was a 7th year. He is really tall, probably about 6 feet 7 inches, just slightly over-weight, but you couldn't notice because he was so tall. He had curly brown hair and blue eyes. Oh, and soft facial features, like mine. But nowhere as handsome as you are, Harry. He was not handsome at all!" she added, when she saw the look on Harry's face. Suddenly, worry was present on her face. "H – Harry? You're not going to leave me, are you?"
Harry was stunned she would ask such a question. "G – Gin, how could you even think that? I love you, and I could never leave you. So, when do you want the wedding?"
Ginny just smiled. "After our son is born, that's for sure."
"Son?" Harry asked.
"Oops, did I forget to mention its gender?" said Ginny, jokingly.
"Uh, yeah!" Harry replied. "Now for the hard part."
"And that would be?" asked Ginny, motioning for him to go on.
"Telling your family." Said Harry.
Ginny's face visibly paled. "Oh crap." She said.
"Should you put the concealment charm back on and tell them, or keep it off and let them figure it out themselves?" Harry asked.
"Neither," said Ginny, "I've got an idea…"
Harry and Ginny walked to the kitchen, Ginny having her pillow under her new maternity shirt, but over her pregnant belly. They had decided to play a joke on the Weasley clan and Hermione. She had not put the concealment charm back on, and couldn't help but grin as she and Harry walked into the kitchen.
It was only when Ginny and Harry had sat down at the table set for 10 that everyone noticed Ginny's "pregnant" belly.
"G – G – Ginny!" stuttered Ron. "Why in the world did you put a pillow under your shirt? Take it out this instant!"
Agreements of "Yeah Ginny's" were echoed from around the table.
With a quick glance at Harry, who was trying not to smile, Ginny said, "Fine, if you guys insist. Be back in a moment."
She got up from the potato soup and walked into the nearest bathroom. She took out the pillow, and fixed her shirt around her actual pregnant stomach.
When she walked back in and sat down, Mr. Weasley said, "Ginevra Weasley, I thought we told you to take that pillow out?"
"I did daddy." She replied, suddenly very interested in her soup.
There was a sudden dead silence. It sounded unreal. The Burrow was usually a place of happiness, loudness, and craziness. Harry reached for Ginny's hand under the table to give her support.
"Mummy, daddy, everyone…I'm pregnant."
More silence, before…
"OH GINNY! MY BABY GIRL IS SO BIG! ENGAGED AND PREGNANT IN ONE DAY! I'VE NEVER BEEN SO HAPPY!" Mrs. Weasley was so glad she was going to be a grandmother. She ran over to Ginny and was cooing to her stomach.
Everyone else finally accepted the fact that this wasn't a joke, and they all congratulated her.
George was happy, very happy. But not for the reason everyone thought.
Before Fred had died, they had invented a magical finger recorder. It looked just like a ring, but with the press of a button, it recorded anything around you, in excruciating detail. Luckily, George put it on before going down to supper, just in case anything juicy came up…like Ginny being pregnant, for instance.
And George got it all on tape.
Money was something George was in desperate need of these days, without Fred to help, and he was willing to do anything to get it. Even sell the video to the Ministry. Which he did.
The video was shown on televisions everywhere, even in the Wizarding world, now that they were more modern. George sure was lucky he didn't lose anymore body parts after Ginny found out.
Epilogue: 20 years later
It was a crisp autumn day in September, 2028, when the Potter family made their way to King's Cross Station for the last time.
Lily Luna Potter, after years of watching her seven (yes seven!) older brothers go to Hogwarts, she finally got to.
She was currently in her 7th year, Head Girl, and heading back to school after Easter Break.
When Lily was about to step onto the train, Ginny called out to her only daughter. She was NOT leaving without saying goodbye!
Lily walked over to her parents and gave them both giant hugs, and kissed them on the cheek.
"Bye, mum, daddy, I'll see you in a few months, okay, don't forget to write."
"Trust us, flower," said Harry, "even if I wanted to forget, your mum here wouldn't allow it."
"You got that right." Muttered Ginny under her breath. "Anyway, Lily, I hope you have a fabulous time, don't stay up late, be a role model, change your under –"
"Come along Gin," interrupted Harry. "We've got to go feed the cat."
"But…" said Ginny, looking confused. "we don't have a cat."
"Ugh." Said Harry. He put another smile on his face. "Come along Gin, we have to go buy a cat."
"Okay, fine." Ginny replied.
Lilly just watched the exchange with a smirk on her face. Her parents might be old, but they still acted like a teenage couple.
"Well then, bye mum and dad." She said. She kissed them once more, and then levitated her bags onto the train and into a compartment with Hugo Weasley, her cousin.
"Hey" he said.
"'Sup?" she answered.
She then turned and looked out of the window, waving at her parents, until the train turned a corner, and she could see them no more.
She sat down and talked with Hugo for about an hour. Once they had nothing more to talk about, Lily stood up, straightened her Gryffindor robes, and went off to find her friends. She may be the youngest of eight children, and the only girl, she thought bitterly, but there were quite a few people her age that were kids of her parent's friends. This thought caused her to think of her older brothers.
Lily's POV
My eldest brother was Jackson Felix Potter. He is 30 years old and goes by Jack, unless he's at work, in which case he was either Jackson or Mr. Potter. He works for the Improper Use Of Magic Office in the Ministry. You would not BELIEVE how many letters he has to send out everyday because of underage magic! I think the record is 1364, or something like that…
Anyway, according to Mum, Jack is only my half-brother. His dad was some Slytherin, but personally, I don't see any difference between him and the rest of my brothers. Yeah, he may have curly hair, but it looks a lot like Uncle Percy's, so it really doesn't matter.
Jack was born on October 19, 1998. He was a really big baby, 11 pounds and 25 inches long! And Mum was 17 when she had him! That's my age! When he went to Hogwarts, he was in Gryffindor, just like me. He has red hair (which is curly, like I mentioned before) and he has mum's brown eyes.
The only other thing, besides the curly hair, that you can see of his birth dad is the tiny blue specks in his eyes. You can hardly notice them, and he still looks more like a Potter than a couple of my other brothers do!
My next oldest brother is Arthur Bilius Potter. He is 26 years old. When he was little, he went by Billy, and he still is Billy to his family, but when he is working in The Misuse Of Muggle Artifacts Office, he is Arthur. He sure is living up to his namesake. Dad told me that that was the same office that Granddad Weasley worked in.
Billy has really messy hair (almost worse than dad's). The only difference is that his is red. He also inherited dad's eye troubles, but he HATED his glasses, so Mum agreed to get him contacts, and he likes them a whole heck of a lot better.
Billy was always unique. He was the first Hufflepuff in the family in ages, and was also officially the first baby to be born in the year 2002. Apparently, Mum pushed him out right as the clock struck the New Year.
Not long after Billy came James. And you better call him James, because that's his name. Otherwise, I'd get to writing that will of yours…
James Sirius Potter is 26 years old, working as an Unspeakable in The Department of Mysteries. Dad had begged him not to get that job, but he had insisted. I have no idea why Dad was so upset about it, I mean, he was the one yelling at James to do get a job.
He was born December 13, 2002, with very messy black hair and brown eyes. While at Hogwarts, he was a trouble-making Gryffindor. He was, according to my Mum, exactly like my Dad while he was in school. Interesting…
My 24 year old brother is Austen Dean Potter. And no, he wasn't named after Dean Thomas. Besides, he likes going by Austen. Austen works with a lot of his friends in the Department of Magical Games and Sports.
When he was born on November 16, 2003, dad couldn't have been happier. He now had a child that had his eye: emerald green. He also had wavy black hair, Mum's genes seemed to tame Dad's down a bit.
Austen was the second Hufflepuff in the Potter Family. He was also the most athletic person at Hogwarts.
My next brother is the most rambunctious 22 year old you will ever see. Cody Garrett Potter was born on July 28, 2005, with straight chesnut brown hair. It's apparently a mix of red and black. His eyes are Brown with lots of flecks of green, and he wore contacts.
He works as an Auror in the Ministry. I guess it helps him let out all of his pent up energy. He works for Dad (who is head of the Auror office), and we all think that's really funny.
Cody was the first of the Potters to be in Slytherin while he was in Hogwarts, and got more Howlers from Mum and Dad than the rest of the school combined. Of course, he considered it an accomplishment. He got suspended 4 times while at school, but always knew when to stop before he got expelled.
He may have been one of the worst students in Hogwarts history (ask Aunt Hermione, he's mentioned in the latest version of Hogwarts, A History) but he was also one of the best.
He was probably smarter than all of Hogwarts combined together. Whenever he was suspended, he would stay cooped up in his room doing homework that was due at the end of the year. He usually finished the whole year's assignments before Christmas. He worked harder than Aunt Hermione, according to Mum and Dad, and that's saying something!
Cody is definitely my favorite brother. He knows how to balance what he likes to do, and always gives me tips. He really is a big help.
After Cody is Keegan Timothy Potter, and he goes by his first name. He was born on October 16, 2006, so he is. Once again, he had brown eyes, with green flecks, and really messy, really dark, almost black, brown hair.
While at Hogwarts, Keegan was in Ravenclaw, and was the smartest boy in his year. Keegan was also the only Head Boy in the family.
He only got out of Hogwarts 2 years ago, but he is already pretty high up in the Detection and Confiscation of Counterfeit Defensive Spells and Protective Objects. He is assistant to the assistant of the Head of his office.
My youngest older brother is Albus Severus Potter. Most people call him Al. His birthday on February 29 2008. Al looks EXACTLY like Dad. He has unruly black hair and bright green eyes, with glasses just like Dad wears.
Albus is a Slytherin, and proud. He may be in a "bad house" but he always puts the needs of his family and others before himself.
Albus works for the Department of International Cooperation, under the watchful eye of Uncle Percy as Head of the Department.
Then there's me. I am the only girl in my family. Mum said that I am just like her, right down to the looks. I have the Weasley red hair and chocolate brown eyes. There is absolutely nothing (visible) that my Dad gave me.
Eleven and a half years ago, I finally got my chance to go to Hogwarts. I had watched my brothers go to Hogwarts since the year I was born, and I had fantasizes about it ever since I could remember. The thrilling tales Mum and Dad told me were nothing compared to the real thing. I was amazed, and had read Hogwarts, A History over 10 times before I went. I knew all about the enchanted ceiling, the hidden passageways, and the sorting hat, mostly from my brothers. I was one of the few first years who was not afraid, wondering what kind of 'test' we were going to have to do. I was, however, not prepared for it talking in my ear, but it ended up putting me in Gryffindor, just like my Mum and Dad.
I was born on August 31, 2009. When Mum and Dad were pregnant for me, they didn't bother finding out the gender, they already knew it was a boy. Imagine their surprise when I came out and I was a girl! I am one-hundred percent Daddy's-Girl!
Third Person POV
With that thought, Lily found her friends: Carina Malfoy, Alice Longbottom, Katie Belby and Susan Finnigan. They talked the rest of the train ride to Hogwarts.
"No Harry." Ginny was saying. "Too fluffy."
Harry held up another cat. "How about this one?" he asked.
"No, too bald." She said. Ginny sighed. They had been at the pet shop for two hours and had yet to find a good cat.
Harry sighed too. Ginny is to dang picky he thought.
Suddenly, a gasp was heard from Ginny.
"Awwww, I want this one." She said, holding up a small grey and white striped cat with big grey eyes. "Please Harry?"
"Merlin, he's cute." he said. Ginny took that as a yes. They paid then went home to pay with their new friend, Merlin.

A/N. It is almost midnight here (11:54), so to me, I posted it on the nineteenth. Happy Birthday sprstrz! I hope you liked it. It was really hard trying to find out how to describe the kids. And I hope the 7 Harry/Ginny kids makes up for the one half brother! Thanks for reading! :)
