Chapter five here! The Weasley boys are going to show up. Fleur will make an appearance in the next chapter, because I am a Francophile, et simplement, j'adore Fleur Delacour. In this chapter, secrets will be revealed, tensions will build, and the audience...will be shocked! (reality-esque enough for you guys? :P) Idk why I do these intros so weirdly, I just feel like doing something funny and satirical sometimes. It's the mood, really. If you don't like it, just pop it into your review (which, please, can't be a flame. I will lose my faith in my self! ToT). Well, that being said, have a good read and enjoy!

Disclaimer: Sadly, I do not own the Harry Potter series.

"Molly, Arthur, can I speak with you for a moment," Draco asked once the skirmish had been resolved. Or at least, settled, for the time being.

"Yes, dear, what is it?" Molly responded kindly.

"I have a request for you," Draco said nervously, "but feel free to deny it."

"Please, son, whatever it is, it's done," Arthur scoffed. "After everything you've done..."

"But this is a big favor to ask," Draco interrupted him. He took a deep breath and launched into story of his mystery patient, who had been orphaned in a mugging. "And I was wondering if she could stay at the Burrow until we figure out what to do with her," he concluded.

"And that's all?" Arthur asked.

"What d'you mean?" Draco returned, confused.

"We've raised six children and managed to...drag up a seventh" Molly answered, referring to Ron. "I think this darling girl will be very little trouble for us. Besides, since you're all so young, we've missed the sounds of children in the house."

"Oh, I plan to remedy that," Draco said, dropping his voice. "Don't tell Hermione, but I've been thinking about proposing.

"Oh, that's wonderful!" Molly exclaimed, delighted. "Hermione needs a man like you - smart, caring, and goes after what he wants! Unlike that good-for-nothing son of mine."

"What exactly is he doing here?" Arthur demanded.

"To my knowledge, he's trying to woo Hermione away from me," Draco replied casually. "But I have nothing to worry about. Hermione's proven herself to be very intelligent on multiple occasions. As for Ron, if this is any indication, quite the opposite. No offense meant."

"None taken," Arthur assured him.

"Exactly," Molly agreed. "So, this little girl, what is her name?"

"Her name is Amelia," Draco responded. "And she's actually quite a pet. She's really taken with Hermione, who brings her books to borrow every time she visits."

"Yes, Hermione seems to have a way with people," Arthur remarked.

"That, she does," Draco confirmed.

"You know, I always hoped she'd be part of our family one day," Molly sighed a little sadly.

"Oh, but she is, Molly!" Draco grinned. "We both are!"

Just then, Hermione came up to them with a small smile.

"Sorry to interrupt, but Charlie, Bill, and George just sent word that they're on their way to the Burrow," she said. "And they want to meet Baby James. Also, George says he wants to see how fat Ginny's gotten," she added dryly.

"Oh, that boy," Molly said.

"Well, thank you both so much," Draco said. "Shall we all meet back at the Burrow?"

"Yes, we shall," Arthur said with a smile.

"Hold onto this one," Molly laughed to Hermione, who blushed shyly. Draco put his arm around her and squeezed her shoulder.

A few minutes later, they had all Floo'd into the Burrow, where George, Bill, Charlie, and, surprisingly enough, Percy, were all waiting for them in the family sitting room.

"Show us the little tyke, then" Charlie cried, coming forward. Molly handed James over to his uncle, who, surprisingly, carried him with all the expertise of a seasoned nanny. Hermione suspected that he watched Bill and Fleur's baby daughter regularly, but she wasn't about to bring it up.

"Ginny, there used to be just one of you!" George lamented comically as he pretended to struggle to fit his arms around Ginny's waist.

"Shut up, git!" Ginny retorted, whacking her brother upside the head.

"Lovely mum you'll make, Gin," George laughed.

"Oh, leave her alone, Uncle Lugless," Bill rejoindered smoothly. George glared at him. "Mum, Fleur says that she'll be a bit late because she's dealing with some bank matter," Bill announced, ignoring his one-eared brother.

"Oh, that's perfectly all right," Molly said, waving her hand.

"What's Ron doing here?" Percy demanded, stepping forward.

"It's my house too, Perce," Ron said casually. "My sister, my family."

"Not since you walked out on us two years ago," Percy retorted.

"Guys, I really don't think we should do this now," Draco said, inserting himself into the argument. "There's a new baby in the house. We should be celebrating, not fighting over something trivial and insignificant."

Hermione had to hand it to him. In the midst of all the fiery tempers, Draco the ice king always knew exactly when to step in and what to say to cool everything back down. She supposed he had to deal with this kind of tense situation very often, working in a hospital.

"He's right," Bill agreed. "Let's all calm down and welcome the newest Weasley to the brood."

"Oi, you mean Potter!" Harry protested.

"No, I mean Weasley," Bill laughed, taking the baby from his younger brother.

DRAMA! Yes, I know I've said this before. :P Well, that's that. The tension has been building and the fire has been temporarily doused by Draco. So, what are all your guesses? What happened between Ron and the rest of the Weasleys two years ago? (Just FYI - more than two years have passed since the war...perhaps two and a half or three. So everyone did get along for a little bit.)

Stay tuned for more drama and **sings** Phlegm!...**clears throat**...er, I mean Fleur, of course. (see what I did there?) All right then, see you next time! ^_^
