A/N: This story is fem-slash (Hermione/Ginny) so if this isn't something you like to read stop now. But hey even if you don't you should give it a try.
Italics are thoughts and Flashbacks.
I hope you guys are liking my story.I have some pretty crazy ideas for when they get to Hogwarts (which should be in the chapter after this one).
Reviews make me smile!
Chapter 6- Understand the Danger
Everyone stopped what they were doing, suddenly looking at the two girls.
"We...we wanted everyone to know that…" Hermione tried to say as confidently as possible.
"…we're together." Ginny finished strongly.
The two girls franticly looked around for a reaction.
The twins suddenly erupted in whistles and cat calls.
Molly and Arthur take a quick look at each other before smiling.
"Aw, honey. I was hoping you two would figure it out eventually." Molly said embracing the two girls in a motherly hug.
"Mum, I thought you were hinting to me earlier that you knew. B-but how?" Ginny asked her mom.
"I am your mother honey. I know everything." Molly said slyly.
"We are very happy for you." Arthur said giving the girls a hug next.
Ginny looked over her fathers shoulder to see Harry and Ron's reactions. She watched as Harry triumphantly stood up laughing at Ron.
"Told you! HAH!" Harry yelled.
"Wh-a…no...no they can't…ahh man! Fine Harry I will do your essay." Ron said realizing he had lost.
"And you have to do it well! And you can't have Hermione do it for you." Harry said laughing.
"You guys placed a bet that we would get together!" Ginny said almost yelling, "You bloody jerks!" starting to laugh.
Ginny, holds Hermione's hand, turns her attention back to her parents.
"Really? You all are alright with this? Us…being together? I-I mean I would understand if you hated us…" Hermione said looking at the ground again.
"Darling, we could never hate you. Arthur and I did not bring up our children to be closed minded. No one has the right to tell others who it is okay to love and who it isn't. Ginny, I will love you no matter what you do. And Hermione, dear, you are like one of my own and I would be happy to have you dating my daughter. You have our blessing." Molly said with watery eyes.
"Though, we do have to talk about some things." Arthur said, "Do you boys mind leaving us to talk to the girls?" looking at the boys.
"Sure dad. Come on guys, Fred and I need some guinea pigs for the new products we want to put in our Skiving Snackbox." George said pushing the two unwilling boys into the living room.
"Girls…why don't we sit down." Arthur, pointing to the table.
Ginny and Hermione take a seat at the table across from Arthur and Molly.
"It's obvious that you two care for each other a great deal but Molly and I want to make sure you realize what you are getting into. As I am sure you both know, just because we approve doesn't mean it will be the case for everyone else." he paused looking at the girls.
"We know dad. We talked about it. We know there will be people at Hogwarts against us. But we aren't going to let it bother us." Ginny said looking at Hermione, smiling.
Arthur starts again, "There will be people from Hogwarts who will pass judgment on your relationship and it will not be easy to ignore but…we are more concerned about other people…more specifically, Voldemort." Arthur paused to collect his thoughts.
Hermione and Ginny look at each other. Both realizing they hadn't thought of that.
"You two know more than anyone this war is evil and it becomes more sadistic every day." the girls shake their heads in understanding, "Voldemort and his followers already see you two as a threat because of your relationship with Harry. You two will be in even more danger as a couple. They will use your relationship and love for each other against you and will use any means necessary to get what they want. If the wrong person were to find out about you two…." Arthur looked at his wife before returning his gaze to the girls. "Well I think you understand the danger…"
"I guess we never really thought about that…but they have taken so much away from us I am not going to let them take this," Ginny sighed and slid her hand into Hermione's. "We will just have to keep it secret until the war is over." Hermione nods.
"As long as you two understand. We want you to be happy but we also want you to be safe." Molly said looking at the girls.
"We will be very careful Mrs. Weasley." Hermione said reassuringly.
Molly smiles at the two girls, "Okay dears, why don't you two run along and enjoy your night there is only a few more days until the start of term."
The two girls leave the kitchen to find the boys.
""Well, that went a lot smoother than I thought." Hermione said as Ginny stopped walking down the hall.
"What do you think about what they said? About being in danger? I-mean I would understand if you didn't…" Ginny stopped unable to look at Hermione.
"Ginny, stop." Hermione took her hand and guided Ginny's chin up to look at her, "We are always in danger, this will not be any different. I want to be with you and I don't plan on letting anything come between us."
"You really mean that?" Ginny said putting her body even closer to Hermione's.
"I really mean it." Hermione closed the distance, kissed her lightly and wrapped her arms around her girlfriend's shoulders.
Ron cleared his throat, his face beet red.
"Ronald, it was just a little kiss." Hermione giggled, "I'm dating your sister and you may want to get used to it because you will be seeing a lot more of this."
"Yeah, but do you have to snog in front of me?" Ron said covering his eyes.
"One; we were not snogging! Two; I can snog whoever, whenever!" Ginny joined Hermione in her laughter.
The girls followed Ron into the living room. Fred and George were looking pleased at a very green faced Harry.
"Brilliant, Fred!" George said shaking his brother's hand, "This one is totally a keeper."
Hermione walked over to the couch and took a seat with her back against the armrest. Ginny sat between her legs leaning against Hermione.
"I can't believe you guys knew?" Hermione laughed wrapping her arms around the girl in front of her, looking at the boys.
Harry shrugged smiling, "What can I say, we know you guys too well."
"You know, I can't take you seriously when your face looks like the Hulk." Hermione said looking at Harry's still green face.
"Fred! George! You said it would go away!" Harry said running over to the nearest mirror, inspecting his slime green face.
"It will. We're just not sure when." the twins said laughing hard, "Whoa look at the time…gotta go! Night everyone!" they said practically running out of the room.
"If Voldemort doesn't kill me, those two will." Harry said exasperated slumping into the loveseat.
Everyone laughed, though knowing in the back of their minds it shouldn't have been something to laugh at.
"So, you guys are really alright with us?" Ginny said looking at Harry and Ron.
"Gin, don't worry so much. It doesn't bother us, right Ron?
Ginny turns her attention to Ron sitting in the armchair.
"I'm okay with it too, Gin. I just have to get used to it. You are my baby sister, you know? You snogging anyone is just...gross." He said making a puke face, laughing a little but still blushing at the thought of his sister with one of his best friends.
"Oh, really? Gross, you say?"
Everyone laughed as Hermione bent her head down in spite of Ron, kissing her girlfriend.
Breaking the kiss.
"Guys, who's the Hulk?" Ginny said looking up at her girlfriend.
I have to thank my bf and my nerdy friends for the comicbook ref...*smacks self*
