I stood up and walked into the living room, where several Aurors were enjoying tea and snacks. "Hello there Auror's, what can I help you with today? I am Ginerva Weasley" they seemed relieved.

"Hello Miss Weasley, we have been sent to grant you temporary guardianship of your SEVEN underage brothers: Fabian Frederick Weasley & Gideon George Weasley- aged 3 months, William "Bill" Pruitt Weasley- aged 8 years old, Charles Billius Weasley- aged 9 years old, Percy Igneous Weasley - aged 12 years old and twins Frederick "Fred " Fabian Weasley & George Gideon Weasley- aged 14 years old. Your brother Ronald Arthur Weasley is almost 17 but is also an Apprentice so it comes with independence . Although we have spoken to Mr Ronald Weasley and his exact words were "i want to stay with my sister Ginny, Where are my brothers going? Does Gonny need money? Should I cancel my apprenticeship? Tell Ginny to floo me right away and I can come."

Uncle Ted stepped forward and said "Excuse me for interrupting but i think introductions are on order." He smiled warmyp and pointed to their badges while waiting expectantly.

"Yes, of course, my apologies! I am Head Auror Alice Longbottom and this is my husband Frank Longbottom." She indixated the sandy hair gentlyment to hwr keft. She had a warm smile and looked directly at me, "While you were speaking in the kitchen, we were able to review the cases details, as we have been made aware of your situation with your you get sivlings & your NEW your new position with the Harpies - CONGRATULATIONS by the way! That is an amazong accomplishment as a new Chaser!! I apologize , i love Quittidch and im sorry for getting sidetracked,. Let's get back to the situation at hand , the safety and care of your you ger siblings . Officially, we have determined that the environment here, is not fit for any of the children, at least without YOUR presence. We are not including Mr Arthur Weasley as he is at work during the day Nd not the primary caregivet.Also, based on several individual's statments, he azs unaware of so he will be allowed unsupervised visitation with the children- at your discretion Miss Weasle, . Mrs MOLLY WEASLEY will be taken into custody and held , while our investigation is launched, by determining the level of child abuse that occurred , please understand Miss that this level of negligence and malnutrition ARE child abuse, I'n afraid." When she saw my face pale, she leaned over and patted my arm and started to explain gently. "We are aware that she is pregnant; however, should any child be born during this inquiry we will bring them to your custody immediately. What do you want to do Miss Weasley? We understand that you are an extremely talented Quittidtch player and we can find foster placements for the children if that is your wish?" ALL SEVEN of my brother's faces swam before my eyes and i started shaking my head before i realizes it!

"NO!"I blurted out! "No foster placement! I will make arrangements for my brothers, they will NOT be sent to strangers!" I said, just realizing I just probably lost my position with my team and i have no job. "Well damn! I thought, " my brothers ARE worth it so suck it up Buttercup!" I said to myself.

"Excellent! Here is the temporary guardianship paperwork to allow you to make decisions for all the children. Here is the check for 5600 galleons, which is 600 gallons a month per child as a Ministry of Magic stipend to help your situation. We can also help yoy in locating housing id uou need but the stipend covers housing, bedding, clothing, achool costs, etc. You DO have a vault correct?" Auror Alice asked and I shook my head yes, "Great! Place your ring here and the funds will be deposited the 1st of every month". I placed my ring and the paper glowed golden and vanished! A tap-tap was heard and a owl came inside and held out his leg, I took the letter from Gringotts saying we have a meeting tomorrow at 10am to discuss my account status due to my dependents and that 5,600 galleons had been deposited that day for their expenses. I handed the letter to Ted and he smiled.

"One more thing, you cannot stay here with the accused while the investigation is going on. Do you have another place to go?" Auror Alice asked gently,

I started to nod my head yes and then my eyes blew wide and I looked at Uncle Ted, Aunt Andy & Dora and blurted out "My new FLAT is one bedroom and one bathroom! What am I going to do?" Tears filled my eyes as I thought about my new place, I was so excited to have my own place and then shoved that thought aside! My brothers are more important than that shit!" I thought.

"Well, Ginny!! Don't worry! My Dad has an idea for that actually. Guess what!! I got into the Auror Acadmeny!!" She blurted out!! Jumping up and down and yelling happily!!

"Thats great love! I knew you would!" I said! I wrapped her in a hug, ignoring my Dad and Mum watching, while the Aurors wathced with curiosity. "Well, they actually start June 1st , which is in a few weeks! I have to find a place to live and move there but...nothing is availave until you just said you needed a bigger place! This is owrfect for me! She whispered hesitantly and gave me a small smile.

"Oh Dora! Are you sure!! U would want my place ? It's not too big but I paid the first 6 months rent so you would be ok. " i said with relief.

Dora said "Thank you! I will be paying you back for that six months Gin!" I started shaking my head and Uncle Ted jumped up and said, "We found a solution for your issue Ginny! " he was so excited and so was Aunti A.

Uncle Ted said, "We wanted to live someone close to Dora to watch out for her but she wants to live alo e, we also want to watch out for you and now your brothers! We have put down 1 years worht of payments on the Penthouse in Your/ and now Dora's building! It's the entire top two floors! It has eleven bedrooms, seven bathrooms, an office, a library , a rooftop swimming pool, a movie room, AND a guest suite for your FAVORITE Aunt and Uncle! If ALSO has its own set of house elves!" He proclaimed!

"Wait!" I thought og something and yelled NO!! I cannot betray my Pinky & Teally! I promised them if I ever needed house elves that I wouldi ask them!" I sputtered!

All of a sudden five little pops are heard and Pinky, Teally, Reddy, Bluey & Goldie came into the room!! All five of them shouted "Mistress Ginny!!" and they come swarming at me! I hold out my hands to hug then when they all grab ahold of each other and grab ahold of ME in the middle and say "Uurhhrr Zelvin Elifus Bondus" and we all started glowing Gold, Blue, Pink,Teal and Silver! It wraps around us like a rainbow blanket and I can feel the warmth coming through me and all of a sudden all five little elves start dancing! I an so confused.

I gaped! "What the hell just happened!!" I screeched! They looked at me kind of sheepishly and said "Yous taken our Bond Mistress and we is so happy! " Pinky came over and sat down by me and said "We's have always been yous Mistress Ginny, We's could feel the bonds coming to us but yous kept trying to stop it! Over and over! Is not knowing why you don't want it! " she wailed in agony and I felt horrible because i was not understanding.

"Shhhh! I'm so sorry Pinky! I did not know what was happening! My family sent all their elves away so I was not sure what to do with a bond!" I explained, "NOBODY-told me what it was! I was so confused! " Oh Pinky! I WANT YOU TO BRING ME HOME with my brothers at our new place! I didn't know what happening- ALL i KNEW is I loved this little elf and she was worried about her leaving me! And all went silent!

--BAM!!!!!!""""

I was elf popped into a beautiful new place! I was shocked at the size of the place! Beautiful shiny silver appliances and countertops or dark black obsidian that gave a small glow. I looked around and heard several other popps!

Billy, Charlie, Percy, Fred, George, all came in with the elf's. They ran to me and I opened my arms to hug them!

"GINNY!!"

"GIN"

"SISSY!!"

"GINNY"

"GiIN"

They ALL started talking to their and I yelled, "Hey Guys!! You need to STOP yelling and come sit down!" I patted the large silver sectional couch that was in the living room.

Then the Floo activated and several people came through. Uncle Ted, Dora, Aunt Andy, the Aurors and my Dad all stepped through. . Suddenly I was unsure of what to do. Dora, being her amazing self, took lcharge and said "Ok boys! These are Ginny's new digs AND YOURS too! So! We need to go get everyone a new bedroom! The Master is Ginny's and I'll show you that one, How about that?" All five of them yelled "YES!!" And she corralled them up the stairs! She turned back to me and said, "I GOT you girl! You are my best friend and you're never alone!" She said and winked!

I relaxed a little bit and turned to Pinky, "Pinky," I said," there should be a room down here by the kitchens that can be made into a home for you and your brothers, unless you may need something bigger" I said. Pinky smiled and threw her arms around me! "Thank you Mistress! Wes are SO happy to be back with our brothers! Thank yous!! Wes will be most happy in this large sunny room! With your permission, can Wes be adding stuff Wes needs?" She whispered with some fear in her voice.

"Pinky! You and your siblings are family like my brothers! I want you to have everything you need! Please come to me if you have any questions and you know I will never be upset, right?" She smiled and nodded her head yes.

Uncle Ted came over and out his hand on my shoulder, he turned to the Aurors and said "Well, welcome to Genera Weasleys new home. What questions do you have?"

They spent over an hour asking questions and answering mine. I learned that with over 3 bonded house elves on the property that I could go to work and legally, they can protect and care for the kids. That gave me so much relief since I thought I lost my new job. Plus, I knew that the babies would come home eventually and I was happy to know they would be protected. As they got up to leave, Head Auror Alice said to me "Miss Weasley, you are an impressive young lady! I'm not even jealous anymore of you beating my sign on record for the Harpies! What you did today has saved all your brothers. We will keep you updated on your case. Then they quietly left.

Silence filled the room and all eyes are on me so I went to my Dad and hugged him. "Dad, are you ok?" I whispered.

He's slowly crying silent tears and looks at me in agony, "No!" He grunts , "My kids have been starved and I did not do anything for them! I didn't save them!! You did my daring! Im so sorry I failed you gin-please know that I really did not know and--"

"Enough Arthur! " Uncle Ted growled suddenly interrupting my Dad, "this is NOT your fault! You trusted Molly that the kids were cared for. Did you never ask how they were? I know you ask DAILY because I've heard it!! Now, you're packed up and ready to go see the babies right? " my dad nods and looks at me for permission which is NOT something I'm used too- so I nod. "Excellent then head to see them and if you're not ok staying at your place while this is going on- you're welcome to our guest room. "

Dad flushes slightly but says "As long as Molly isn't there then I should be fine but thank you both! For everything!" He comes to me and quietly kisses my cheek and then head towards the floo and stops. He turns around and says "Ginny, I'm so proud of you. I want you to know that. You did not hesitate and took them without knowing if you would have to give up your new career. I want you to know that I plan on coming here daily after work, if that is ok, and taking the kids home for a few hours a day so they can fly or run outside. As nice as this place is- I realize they cannot go outside anytime they want and they may have some problems with being couped up. I wanted to have dinner with them everyday but I am not much of a cook-" he started to say.

"Dad" I interrupted, "you don't know this yet but Tealy is a world class chef as an elf so she can come with you and cook dinner, along with Bluey, Reddy & Goldie if your taking all the boys. What I'm saying is that you're not alone in this Dad and if you want to be with your kids after work and on weekends then you absolutely can!" I said.

He smiles at that and heads to the hospital and I tell him I will be there soon.

Aunt & Uncle turn to me and say "Are you ok love?" And I feel my face flush.

"I didn't meant to take away your house elves ! I didn't even know that we were bonding! I'm so sorry!" I cry and all the emotions flood into me at what just happened.

"Darling" Auntie says " j knew they were yours from the moment you met- they gravitated to you and knew when you were hurt or sick. I must apologize though- I didn't realize that you were unaware of the bond forming and I should have realized you were not raised by a nanny elf like I was. We are not upset love. This is what happens to elves in families - they choose to bond with the one they are drawn too and it's been you since you were 4 tears old."

I sigh and say "It definitely helps me now for sure! I had NO idea that having at least 3 bonded house elves came with so many benefits!! "Wait a minute! Pinky's brother said he missed his sisters and was happy to be back with them? Did I take them away from someone?"

"Oh- NOT at ALL! " uncle Ted said, "they were living at the elf sanctuary and were bored out of their mind I bet! Elves have to stay busy- it's how they increase their magic but if their bonded owner dies suddenly and does not have family- they go to the sanctuary and wait for a feeling or a call from one of their family. When you asked Pinky if she had any other elves she immediately went to get her brothers. They are going to be weak for a few days while they recharge but the sisters know this and will happily cover for them. You gave them their brothers back so they will love & die for you forever now. We need to assign them all tasks and make it ok if they need to rest that they others can do it. No punishing themselves. For any reason. Clear like that. Short so they can't get around it. Stuff like cooking, cleaning the house, grocery shopping & putting away, they have access to your vault as bonded elves so that is easy. I know Fred, George & Percy go back to school Sunday afternoon so they will have plenty to do. I agree with Arthur thar Charlie & Billy living here is a big change and they can't just go outside and fly so i agree with him taking tjhem back to the Butrow daily, we need to aee how the babies do- Arthur may ne too tired. Also, just so you know the pool does have protective enchantments on it if they cannot swim so they are alk safe: How would you feel about enrolling them in a Prime-Wiz school? We have a few of those now and with the MOM helping the 400 galleon per child a month should not be an issue. Plus with having a bonded elf they are allowed to pop them to and from school daily. They would attend from 9:30a-4p daily and weekends off. What do you think?"

"That's a great idea! They would burn energy and make some friends! Which one would you recommend if they were your kids? I asked. Happy that my brothers were getting opportunities they would not have had.

"ill get you the information. Dont worry. Now, how about Andy, Dora & I stay a little while Teally & Pinky make dinner and get the boys fed and showered while you go check on Arthur and the babies, i can see your woreied" Ted aaid with a dmile.

"That soundd amazing! Thank you Uncle & Anty, for everything. I honeslty dont know what i would habe done today wothoht uour help! I love uou guys! Should i round up the boyd and wxplain where im going?" I ask with some trepidation, fearing they woulf want to go with me and it wohld be a battle.

Aunt Andy shook her head, "No love, you must learn to pick your battles. We will get everyone fed and sit them down for a movie and allow them to calm down before bed. I will help Percy with his essay and then we will retire to our suite: Do not rush darling. Arthur is there and im sure he has many questions. We will explain that you will be back agter uou check on the babies and your Dad".

I hugged both of them and thanked them again, grabbed my purse and the business cwrd from Healer Black. Tapped it twice and swirled away into darkness.
