The characters of the Harry Potter universe belong to Ms. Rowlings, and I'm borrowing them for my own imagination.
Chapter Five
May 2, 2000
"You really agreed to that?" Charlie asked gawking at his baby brother. His family was gathered at St. Mungos awaiting the birth of the first Weasley grandchild.
Ron grimaced at him, then glanced about making sure the girls, who were talking quietly themselves across the waiting room, didn't hear his idiot brother's outburst. "What's the big deal? I'm going to be away for twelve of the next fourteen months until the wedding, anyway."
"I think it's good. It shows his respect for Hermione and her wishes." Harry defended.
"You're just saying that because you're dating our little sister." George said.
"Who better still be a pure as snow." Charlie threatened.
Harry decided to keep his mouth shut and scooted a little farther away from Charlie.
"Hey not all of us sleep with anything with a tiny waist and a massive chest." Ron remarked and George laughed. "Nor do I want to knock her up, especially when I won't be able to leave the camp unless it is a life or death situation."
"You probably be safer not being around Mum if she found out." George said remembering how she had exploded at his and Katie's news. Luckily, Katie had said yes to his proposal, and they would be wed at the end of this month. "Though it may qualify as life or death."
"How much longer do you think this will be?" Ron asked glancing at the delivery room doors in an attempt to change the subject.
"You really agreed to remain a virgin until your wedding night." Charlie said shaking his head. Obviously Ron's ploy didn't work.
"Yes. Nothing matters more than Hermione, and if she wants to wait then I will." Ron said. Harry smiled at him. Hermione was like a sister him, and he actually understood how protective the Weasley boys were of Ginny.
"It's a girl!" Bill yelled as he rushed into the waiting room. "Victoire Gabrielle Weasley. You can come in and see her shortly. Someone floo Fleur's parents." Bill rushed back into the delivery room.
"A girl." Molly Weasley gushed hugging her husband.
The family went around hugging each other, then Arthur went to floo the Delacors.
George wrapped his arms around Katie as the family stood together waiting to meet their newest member.
"Hermione told me the decision she and Ron made. " Katie told him.
"Oh yeah?" George said.
"Isn't it romantic. I think we should follow suit to support them."
"Uh? Huh?" George grunted in surprise.
"I'm glad you agree." Katie said kissing his cheek then moving back to talk to Hermione and Penny.
Ron, Charlie and Harry were grinning at him.
"And so begins my life as a nun." George sighed.
Well, at least it was only for a month.
