Now, onward with the story!

Prompt 7 "I have an announcement to make!"

Ginny and Hermione flooed over to the Burrow just in time to wash up for dinner. The house was as crowded as ever; George and Angelina with baby Roxanne, Charlie was visiting from Romania, Bill and Fleur were there with Victoire and Dominique tugging at their sleeves, Percy was accompanied by Audrey, Harry and Luna were sitting at the table, Mrs. Weasley was sending the food to the table with a flick of her wrist, and Mr. Weasley had just strolled through the door. One big, happy family.

"Hi, Mum. Aren't Lavender and Ron coming?" Ginny asked, noticing Ron wasn't there with a clingy, blonde tramp attached to him.

Mrs. Weasley patted her hand, "Not this time, dear. Now, grab some food and tuck in. Everyone else already has!" she sang, a happy smile on her round face.

Everywhere Hermione looked were content faces. It seemed everyone had some interesting news to share about work or school or their own family. Glancing to Ginny, who looked as nervous as Hermione felt, she gave a weak smile and took a plate for herself.

After second helpings and a round of dessert, dinner was finally over. The girls exchanged a look, signaling that it was time to break their news. They rounded up the troops, consisting of Harry, Luna, and Mr. and Mrs. Weasley, and headed into the living room. Hermione locked the door and cast a Silencio so that they would not be overheard.

Once everyone was comfortably seated and extremely curious as to why they were brought together, Hermione and Ginny stood at the front of the room. A long awkward silence, full of coughs and stares, was finally broken.

"I have an announcement to make!" exclaimed Ginny.

Mrs. Weasley's smile was encouraging, "You have our undivided attention, dear. Whatever it is, I'm sure it's nothing we can't handle."

Hermione piped up, her voice uncertain. "Well, everyone, technically we both have an announcement…"

The room was completely quiet once again. The two girls took deep breaths. Looking to one another, they exhaled slowly then counted to three.

"We're pregnant!" both girls cringed, waiting for the yelling to begin. But they were disappointed in that respect.

"You can't be serious…" Harry whispered in disbelief then looked to Luna in shock when she laughed.

"Oh, I've known for a few months. I was waiting for you two to tell everyone," her voice wistful and reminiscent of a daydream.

Harry opened and closed his mouth as if he wanted to say something but the words wouldn't come out. Hermione sighed; she had been expecting that. Luna always knew ahead of time when something big was going to happen. When she looked back at Harry, she saw a slight disappointment in his eyes.

'Great, just great.'

Harry had finally found the words he was looking for and stood. "I expected better from the two of you," he unlocked the door and headed upstairs.

Luna smiled reassuringly, "He'll come around. He always does. I'll leave you to your privacy," she left as well.

Ginny's parents had been shocked into silence.

"Is it really that bad?" Ginny whispered.

"Oh, no! I'm sorry!" Mrs. Weasley broke out of her thoughts. "We were just so surprised. You're both still so young. Have you told Blaise yet? Or Draco, dear?" she asked, looking from Ginny to Hermione.

"Not yet. We wanted to get this part over with first. We thought Ron would be here, and we wanted to break the news sooner rather than later. He will be much worse than Harry, but I guess we will have to break it to him some other time."

Mrs. Weasley smiled. "Oh, don't worry about Harry. He'll come around, like Luna said. Now, with Ron, if I'm not there when you tell him you let me know. If he causes any problems, I will straighten him out," her eyes were brimming with tears, "Oh, I'm going to have more grandchildren!"

Mr. Weasley smiled at the girls over her shoulder, still shocked that his youngest and only female biological child, and Hermione, their other female child, whom they had practically adopted after her parents were killed, had gotten pregnant. At the same time. The Burrow just kept getting more crowded. He patted their backs and gave them both proud, fatherly hugs before making his exit.

The three women were hugging and talking animatedly about all things related to babies; names, toys, clothes, prenatal potions that would help with healthiness, what they would look like. They were ecstatic!

Ginny and Hermione were grateful that it hadn't gone horribly. Harry would be angry for a while, a little disappointed, but he never stayed mad for long. But Ron was another story entirely.

The next segment of this little drabble will come along later. Possibly tonight if I get that much typed.

My real life has been taking over my author's life, so I have had little time to write, let alone type up everything. But I recently got out of school due to snow and can now update! Yay!

Let me know what you thought of this. Too simple? Too boring? I want some feedback!

Thanks for reading :)
