Ch1: You deserve to be happy

Dinner at the Potter household was usually filled with cacophony of talking and laughter but today was different. While James and Lily Potter were their usual self-talking, laughing and somewhat of flirting; usually accompanied by Harry's groan-their son, Harry Potter was rather quite this evening. As if on cue, Harry cleared his throat to acknowledge his parents that he wanted to say something, "I have met someone and I want you to meet her."
This was probably the last sentence that escaped his mouth because as soon as he said it, his mother was hugging him so tight that he might be crushed to death soon enough. "Oh Harry dear! If you are happy with your choice and you want us to meet her, we definitely will. Bring her to dinner next Saturday, yeah?"
Harry gulped nervously, although he was sure that his parents would not make the girl run away, he was unsure about himself, when he first met the girl he was easily attracted but as they got to know each other, he realized they didn't have much in common and much different choices. He was only dating her and getting her to meet his parents because he wanted to convince himself that he was absolutely not at all attracted to a certain Ginny Weasley but someone else whom he was serious about.
You see it all started the first time Harry boarded the Hogwarts Express and made his best friend-Ron Weasley-so eventually they spent hours or sometimes days and each other's house with a certain bushy-haired witch-Hermione Granger-whom now dated Ron, much to everyone's delight. So that's how the Potters and Weasleys got to know one another and where easily inhabited to their group of close family which included Sirius and the Lupins.
And that is how Harry and Ginny knew each other-Harry as Ginny's brother's best friend or James and Lily's arrogant son and Ginny as Ron's little stubborn sister. When they were younger and started Hogwarts they practically hated each other-why? that's a whole lot another story-but as the time passed and Harry became Ginny's friend; which means he saw her good and attractive side, and being Harry he started feeling differently about her. While they were friends, their friendship was always strange mixed with teasing, pranking, cursing, cuddling, flirting yada yada. So when he realized that he was getting more attracted to her, Harry started distancing himself from her as to not hear her rejection and face the wrath of her six brothers. So he became rather involved in his job as soon as he finished Hogwarts-while Ginny was still oblivious of his reason of distanced behavior.
So, reluctantly he agreed to bring her home and meet his parents even though in his mind it seemed as if it was an easy task. "I will mum but please don't invite Sirius or anyone for that matter, you two are just perfect."
"Sure Harry!" And Lily hugged him again, Harry realized that all the while this was going on his father was rather silent so he quickly glanced at his father and sighed with relief when he saw the smile on his face.

So as the days rolled by and the Saturday of the meet up arrived, James was not surprised to see a fussing Lily tutting about the hall and cleaning and re-arranging every single thing, so to comfort her he put his arm around her shoulder and pulled her into him, "Everything is fine, love. Don't stress yourself."
"I know James but I always thought Ginny would be the one for our Harry," Lily sighed plopping on the couch behind her.
"I also know, I also wanted Harry to end up with Ginny but he is just bringing this girl home to meet us, how can we believe that she is the one and not just a fling?" James smiled trying to encourage his wife.
"You are right James, let's just hope for the best."
So, that is how they all ended up on the dining table with different kind of mouth-watering dishes placed in front of them and everybody thinking of a way to decipher this rather deafening silence they were all enveloped in. "so, erm...what is your name and what do you do?" James asked cutting into his roast with a bemused look on his face.
"Cho, Cho Chang and I am a designer working in Diagon Alley. That is where I met Harry in the Weasley's shop," Cho sighed dreamily flashing one of her most sexiest smile towards James and Lily. And Lily being Lily-the ever so sweetest and kindest person-flashed one of her most disgusting smile towards her reminding her that her heart couldn't be won by a smile-which was rather disgusting than sexy.
Just as James was about to continue their conversation because he couldn't be silent for much long, they were interrupted by a soft pop indicating that someone has apparated into their house. So, Lily stood up to check up on the guest or 'intruder' according to Cho's muttering. She walked towards the door and as soon as she opened it she was enveloped in a bone-crushing hug by a redhead which is only possible by two people-Ginny and Molly Weasley. But to James and Lily's utter pleasure and Harry's displeasure yet pleasure, it was the youngest Weasley crushing his mother into a hug and smiling the ever-so-sexy smile towards everyone else in the house. To continue, what she had come for, Ginny distangled herself from Lily and ran towards James and hugged him with the same intensity and only distangled herself from him when he muttered rather breathlessly, "beathe."
Seeing the youngest Weasley smile so much, James finally asked her, "What has made you so ecstatic to crush the lungs out of our bodies?" Rather of replying straight-forward Ginny just smiled and then blurted out, "Imadethestartingteam."
Not really understanding whatever was said, Lily asked her to tell the thing again. And so taking a deep breath Ginny calmed her nerves down. "I made the starting team for the Holyhead Harpies! Can you believe it? I thought I was gonna go to Puddlemere United in the end but sometime earlier I received an owl saying I was getting a spot in the Harpies as the starting chaser. And I was too ecstatic to share the news so I just blurted it out to my family during dinner and then they all congratulated me and I told them I am coming here to Thank Lily and James for being my first teachers and supporters. So, I quickly apparated her and then I was so happy I just hugged you both and now I am realizing that I interrupted your dinner with Harry's girlfriend. Oh! I am so sorry...I will just go," Ginny stood up to leave when Lily grabbed her by the arm and tugged her to sit down so she did.
"Calm down Ginny dear! You are word-vomiting as always and you have not interrupted anything, you are our family, understood?" Lily waited for Ginny to nod and she did so she continued "You are always welcome in our house and this news was the best news I have heard since a while and I am so very proud of you. I knew you were capable of doing it, So let's celebrate it by eating some dessert and invite your family over we can't have the evening without them now."
Ginny nodded and glanced over James to see that he was staring at her with immense pleasure. "You are amazing! I knew you would be the one to complete my dream unlike my son who pursued Sirius' dreams rather than me." James frowned looking over at his son, "So yeah, I am proud of you! And now I am going to inform it to Sirius and the Lupins because I just won the bet from Sirius." James smiled rather cheekily before grabbing his wand.
"You made bets on whether I will be making the starting team or not?" Ginny asked, Weasley temper in tow.
"No, no we know you would hex us for the rest of our lives if we did that, We made bets of which team's offers you would be accepting. Now I am off to bring them." And with that he apparated to Sirius' house.
So, with Lily gone to bring the dessert and James off to invite everyone, Ginny was left alone with Harry and his girlfriend,Cho. Out of which the latter was frowning towards her and looking with a hint of disgust, while the former was just staring dumbfounded at her. To make things from awkward and uncomfortable to easy and comfortable, Ginny stood up hand gesturing towards the kitchen and said,"I will go help Lily-before she was cut off by Harry pulling her into a hug which matched one of her own.
With Harry's one hand on her head and the other on her lower back, Ginny was just about to lose her senses when she hastily added something which sounded like "intekisen" before encircling her arms around his middle. None of them were aware of the disgusted and jealous expression Cho was giving them or the arrival of Lily from the kitchen, they were just encircled into each other's arms contented with feeling of each other's presence when Lily brought them back to the present with her cough. And they pulled apart only for a second before Harry cupped Ginny's face with his palm and said with immense proud in his voice visible, "I am proud of you, Gin! You kicked your brothers in the arses by showing what they were missing not letting you ride a broom and play with them when they were younger. I am proud of you! Just don't show your harpiness in front of me or I would have to kick you in the arse like you did with your brothers."
"Git," Ginny muttered, swatting him in the arms playfully. It was then they became aware of the closeness between them and they were lost again, this time-Green into Brown-utterly unconscious but were again brought out of reverie by the rather abrupt opening of the front door and the entrance of a dash of turquoise blue hair in the form of Teddy who rushed and hugged Ginny's legs indicating that he wanted to be lifted into the twenty years old arms, understanding his signal, Ginny scooped Teddy into her arms and hugged him, planting a light kiss on his forehead, when Teddy broke the silence, "I knew you woulf do 't Gin-Gin. 'gratulasions! See I learned a new word because mommy says that i woud be bif brother soon now." And as if on cue again, a heavily pregnant Tonks entered the household and hugged Ginny which was rather difficult through the large bump. "Congratulations Ginny!"
Soon the house was again filled with cacophony of laughter and talking with everyone coming and congratulating Ginny on her special achievement, eating the freshly baked pies made by Molly and Lily. It was like the house got it's life again and the real purpose of meeting was forgotten.
