Once again I do not own Harry Potter: even though I wish I did.
After a shower, shave, a toothbrush, and putting on some clean underwear, a pair of black slacks, some black socks and an emerald green shirt Harry went into Teddy's room. "Hey Gin, you can go get ready now" Harry told Ginny.
Ginny who was watching Teddy play with his stuffed wolf turned around when Harry spoke, what she made her breath catch in her throat. Harry was leaning against the doorframe and he looked good enough to eat Ginny thought. Harry was wearing black slacks that were a little baggy in the legs and he was wearing an emerald green shirt that had the first few buttons open and brought out his eyes which were not hidden behind glass. His jet-black hair was the perfect amount of messy and fell into his eyes just right.
He also had a smile on his face as he was calling my name. Wait he's calling my name. Speak Ginny, don't make a fool of yourself.
"Wow Harry you clean up nicely." Ginny said and Harry laughed a little as he thanked her.
"I'm done so you can go get ready now Binny put a couple of choices on the bed that you can wear." Harry said to Ginny.
"That's fine. What time do you want to leave by," Ginny asked.
"We have to leave at 7 if we want to be on time."
"Ok that gives me what an hour and a half? I can do that." Ginny said to herself as she walked into Harry Potter's bedroom.
Once that thought crossed her mind she stopped; millions of girls would kill to be where she was standing at the moment.
Remembering that she only had an hour and a half to make herself look presentable Ginny started to move.
Ginny had a quick shower then dried her hair she was in nothing but a towel as she looked over all the dresses Binny brought up. Ginny decided that she wanted to match Harry so she went with the emerald green dress.
Ginny did her own makeup, she only put on a little because she didn't like going overboard with the makeup. She put her hair up with a few ringlets coming out. Ginny was ready at about 10 to seven and she walked into Teddy's room where everyone was all dressed up.
Ginny took one look at Teddy and thought that he was the most adorable thing she had ever seen. He was wearing a suit that matched Harry's and he had given himself her eyes and nose again.
"Teddy bear you look so handsome" Ginny said walking up to Teddy to give him a kiss.
Harry was looking at Ginny as though he was trying to memorize her then her said, "Ginny I think I have a necklace and pair of earrings that would go great with that dress."
Harry stepped out of the room then came back with a black box he opened it up and Ginny and Hermione gasped though for two different reasons.
"They are beautiful." Ginny whispered.
And beautiful they were. The necklace was a delicate platinum chain and at the end was an emerald in the shape of a teardrop. The earrings were small emeralds as well.
"Harry aren't those your mother's" Hermione said.
At this Ginny looked like she was about to protest but Harry stopped her. "Yes, they are my mum's but I think they will look better on you then in this box collecting dust." Harry said as he put the necklace on her.
"Wow, sis who knew you could look good," Ron said after he had stopped playing with Teddy and looked up.
"Are we going now?" Teddy questioned jumping up and down.
"Yes we are going and we are driving in the limo I hired to drive us there." Harry said.
"But Harry won't the person driving it know how to get here," Hermione questioned.
"Nope, as soon as he leaves the property he will forget how he got there but not the way to the restaurant." Harry assured them.
At seven on the dot Harry, Ginny, Ron, Hermione and Teddy were seated in the back of the limo. Teddy was having the time of his life as he discovered all the buttons and the moon roof; which he tried to stick his head out of but Ron grabbed him around his tummy and let him sit on his lap instead. When the driver told them that they would be there in five minutes Harry told them what the plan was.
"Ok so what we are going to do is Ron will get out first then help Hermione out." Harry waited until they two in question nodded in agreement.
"Then I will step out and help Ginny out. Then both Ginny and I will help Teddy out of the limo and Teddy you have to be holding one of mine and Ginny's hands at all times promise." Harry asked Teddy.
"Promise daddy," Teddy said.
And with that the limo stopped and someone came and opened the door for them. Taking a deep breath Ron stepped out.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
"Hello today we are live at the Magic Castle. Thank you for tuning into Entertainment Tonight. We here at Entertainment Tonight have heard from an inside source that someone very important is coming tonight." Said a Mary Adams who was the best live reporter working for Entertainment Tonight.
She was standing next to a reporter and photographer from the Prophet. She was the best in the business and because of this Marry Adams found herself in the best spot to interview people and see what is happening. So far Mary had been here since 5 and no one worth her listener's interest was there. Mary was starting to consider leaving when a massive limo pulled up in front of the red carpet.
"It seems that a large limo has pulled up to the front. Someone is opening up the doors and out steps …"
"Who is that…?" Mary whispered to her partner.
"A Mister Ronald Weasley brother of one Ginny Weasley, the person Harry Potter is engaged to." Sally informed her.
"It seems Mister Ronald Weasley has stepped out of the limo. Ronald Weasley is the older brother of a Miss Ginny Weasley." Mary took a breath.
"He is helping someone out of the limo. My word it is Miss Hermione Granger, best friends of Harry Potter and a war hero. But that is not all someone else is getting out of the limo." Mary said getting excited.
"It can't be… It seems Harry Potter is getting out of the limo and he is not alone. Mr. Potter is helping Ginny Weasley out of the limo!" As Mary said this she knew she had hit the jackpot if she could speak with them for even a moment she would be huge.
"It seems that there is someone else in the limo. Both Mr. Potter and Miss Weasley are helping the person out of the limo." Mary said not sure who it could be.
"It seems that they are helping out a child, about three years of age." Mary was now being blinded with flashes.
The one thought going through everyone's head at the moment was who is this kid and why does he look like someone who could be Harry Potter and Ginny Weasley's child.
"The little boy has jet black hair just like Mr. Potter's and has the same eyes and nose as Miss Weasley. He is wearing the same outfit as Mr. Potter. Mr. Potter, Miss. Weasley and the child all look like a picture perfect family; they are matching in emerald green. Mr. Potter and Miss. Weasley are each holding one hand of the child. Oh my, it seems they are coming this way."
"Mr. Potter who is the child?"
"Miss. Weasley is he yours and Mr. Potter's child?"
"Hi everybody" said the child who was standing in between Mr. Potter and Miss. Weasley.
"What is your name?"
"I'm Teddy this is my Daddy and my Mommy. This is Uncle Ron and Aunt Mione." said the young boy named Teddy who had pointed at everyone respectively.
The group was standing in front of Mary when she spoke. "Mr. Potter my we here at Entertainment Tonight ask you a few questions for our live listeners."
To Mary's absolute shock the group stopped and waited for her to ask some questions. "Is this child yours and Miss Weasley?"
"No, he is neither, he is my godson but has been living with me since he was a month old since his real parents died, but I think of him as my son." Mr. Potter answered.
"Why did you wait so long to inform the wizard population about him?"
"I thought he was too young to be plastered on the front page and I am doing it now because-."
"Because we want him to be the ring bearer at our wedding" Ginny finished for Harry.
"Why does he call you mum and dad?"
"We have tried to get him to call us by our names but he chooses to call us mum and dad." Harry told Mary.
"Has he shown any magical powers yet?"
"We wouldn't care if he didn't but yes he has when he was a baby and just recently." Harry said a little smugly.
"Mr. Weasley are you happy for your sister?"
"Of course I am she is my baby sister. And I think Harry is good for her and I know Harry is grateful for her" Ron said.
It looked like they were about to leave so Mary asked one last question. "Miss. Granger are you and Mr. Weasley dating?"
At this both of them blushed and Hermione said, "No we are not, just friends"
"Who fight like an old married couple" Ginny added ignoring Hermione's glare.
"Come on Teddy Bear you must be hungry." Ginny said to Teddy then, "It was very nice meeting you Miss. Adams."
And with that they went into the restaurant. 'There you have it listeners. Harry Potter has a godson whom he thinks of as a son. Mr. Potter also confirmed that there is going to be a wedding and that they have all ready started planning it. Once again you heard it first from Entertainment Tonight. This is Mary Adams signing off." Miss Adams said with joy in her voice.
Mary Adams had just made the scoop of her life she thought as she did a little victory dance. Sure every reporter had listened in on the conversation so everyone knew what was said but Harry Potter had chosen to speak to her about this.
If I don't get a promotion or a pay raise I am going to quit. I mean I got Harry Potter to speak to myself when he doesn't speak to anyone about his private life. Whenever it comes up he changes the topic or says no comment this is gold. She could already imagine it, 'you are listening to The Late Night Show with Mary Adams, the place to get Harry Potter News first.' Oh she could see big things in her future.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
"That went so well." Harry said to everyone once they were out of earshot of the reporters.
"That went really well I'm surprised you didn't get asked a lot more questions." Hermione, who was used to all of this, said.
"You did a very good job Teddy Bear. I'm very proud of you." Harry told Teddy as he took his hand.
"So how was your first red carpet experience Ron?" Hermione asked with a smile on her face.
"Don't know how you guys can do this whenever you walk outside." Ron said with a shake of his head.
"We better go because I am starved," Ron said with a smile.
"When aren't you hungry?" Ginny asked Ron with a laugh.
"Hey, I'm still a growing man I need food." Ron said as Harry and Hermione looked at each other in confusion.
While Teddy just kept turning his head so he could look at everything, seeing how he has never been to a magical restaurant. "Why does it seem that Harry and I are missing something?" Hermione questioned.
"Oh, well Ron is never not hungry, don't worry you'll see what I mean soon enough." Ginny said with a shake of her head.
As soon as the group walked into the restaurant they were immediately given the best table in the house.
Harry and Hermione could not remember having such a good time. To them it felt as if their small group was finally whole at last. Harry and Hermione had a lot of friends but they only really had each other to lean on.
Harry and Hermione most likely had more friends but the thing about being the Golden Duo was that they never knew when someone was a true friend or just liked them because they are famous. But with Ron and Ginny it was different they felt as if a piece that was missing was just filled and it felt nice. Harry and Hermione were so close that they both just looked at each other and knew that the other was thinking the exact same thing.
With that thought in mind the Golden Duo jumped into the conversation that was going on and spent the night having a really good time.
AN: Hello everyone I just want to start off by saying i am sorry it took so long for me to update this, and this chapter is on the short side. The next thing i want to say is an answer to a question. Ok so just because Ron and Harry are in the same class does not mean that they talk to each other or anything thing like that. Sure they know each other by faces but that is it they just never talked to each other. I hope that cleared up some things for you guys.
ps. just because Rita wasn't in this chapter doesn't mean that she won't be in the story. And yes Hermione does still have the whole bug thing over Rita.
love lovely42
