Chapter 1
Beep! Beep! Beep!
Smash! The clock laid on the floor in pieces.
19 year old Ginny Wealsey slowly pulled herself out of bed. Yawning she repairs the clock and pokes her head into the next room.
There sleeping in his bed was her pride and joy James. Seeing him sleeping she takes this chance to have a shower and get ready. This was like a morning ritual for her fixing the clock, checking on James and the getting ready.
An hour later Ginny comes out of the bathroom fully ready. Once again she pokes her head in James room but this time finds his green eyes staring at her with a smile on his face.
"Good morning James," she says walking over to him, and picking him up.
"Murnin mamma."
"Let's go get you some breakfast so I can drop you off and get to work." she says while ruffling his black hair making it more messy.
During breakfast she couldn't help to think how much James looks like his father, which caused many good and bad memories to flood her mind. It had been 3 years and four months since Ginny left the wizarding world without saying goodbye, and it's been two years and four months since James was born. She begins to remember the night James was concived like it was yesterday.
Flashback
It was the end of Ginny's fifth year, and everyone in Gryffindor tower was celebrating. All most everyone was drunk including her.
She was standing there talking with some friends when he comes behind her wrapping an arm around her waist. "What do you say we get out of here?" he asked. She nodded shyly.
She was brought out of her memory by screaming
"Sshh James its okay," she says picking him up. "Lets get you to Courtney's now."
Courtney was Ginny's best friend, she meet her a month after she left and the two of them became inseparable since then. A bonus was she was only one year older and had a boy James age too.
After exchanging greetings with Courtney she left for her job. Ginny had two jobs she was a writer for a newspaper during the weekdays and worked at a bookstore in the heart of London on the weekends.
She arrived at the bookstore at exactly nine o'clock and was greeted by her boss Tyler.
"Hey Ginny."
"Hi Tyler."
"So how's James?"
"He's doing good, how are your wife and kids?"
"Their doing good."
She nodded and left to sort the new books out.
Today the bookstore was fairly busy. She counted about 100 people who've been here and it wasn't even 12 o'clock. She thought that today was going good in till she heard them.
"Oh look at this book Ron."
"Ya nice," he said sounding like he wasn't paying attention.
What the hell are they doing in muggle London. Shit I forgot Hermione was muggle born. Stay clam Ginny they haven't seen or noticed you yet, maybe if I just walk to the other side of the store I'll get lucky. Slowly she started walking to the other side.
"Excuse me miss." Nope no luck. She took a deep breath and turned around, facing them for the first time in almost three and a half years.
"Hi what can I help you with?" she asked trying to keep her nerves down.
"Ginny?" they both said at the same time.
She nodded.
Hermione squealed and hugged her, while Ron stared at her like she was a deatheater.
"I can't breath."
"Oops sorry," said Hermione releasing her.
Ron still stared at her and whispered. "Where have you been?"
"I've been in London."
They didn't respond. She quickly thought of an excuse to get away from them.
"Well I have to get back to work."
"Wait Ginny."
"What Ron?"
"Come back to the Burrow for lunch please."
"I don't know Ron."
"Please, you don't know how much everyone is missing you."
She thought about it for a minute she really did miss her mom, dad and her brothers.
"Fine, but just for lunch. Errr.. give me a second to talk to my boss."
"Ok."
She walked over to Tyler and asked him for the afternoon off since she hasn't seen her brother in three and a half years, which he agreed to.
When she came back to Hermione and Ron they were quietly whispering to each other like they where plotting a mass murder.
"Ummm… he said its fine."
"Great," said Hermione with a smile plastered on her face.
"Lets get going then," said Ron grabbing both of their arms, and leading them out of the shop and to an ally. Crack!
When they apparated to the Burrow, Ginny got her first good look at it, but unfortunately for her she became really nervous and began to think it was best to leave. Hermione and Ron both noticed this and dragged her into the Burrow.
"Mum, me and Hermione are home," shouted Ron.
Mrs. Weasley came bursting into the kitchen pulling Ron and Hermione into a bone crushing hug. When she let go of him she finally noticed that Ginny was standing in the kitchen looking like she was going to faint.
"My baby girl your home," she shouted pulling her into a bone crushing hug and then proceeded to break down into tears.
"Mum I can't breath." What is with everyone trying to squeeze me to death, she thought.
"Oh sorry dear, it just I'm so happy to see you."
"Me too."
"Well come on you three lets eat."
They all grabbed a seat and started filling their plate with food.
"So what have I missed for the last three and a half years?"
"Well me and Hermione are getting married," Ron answered.
"That's amazing I'm so happy for you guys."
"Thanks Ginny."
"Oh Bill got married to Fleur and they have a one year old daughter, Charlie is also engaged, Fred and Geroge are dating Katie Bell and Angelina Johnson, and Percy is married too."
"Wow I've missed a lot."
All three of them nodded.
"What about you Ginny? Anyone special in your life." asked Mrs.Weasley.
"Err well I've been seeing a guy named James for the last two years and four months." What it wasn't a total lie.
"I have to meet this James," said Mrs. Wealsey.
"Errrr…sure mom."
Awkward silence was what followed after her response Ron looked like he wanted to get up from table and find this James guy and beat him in till he got it through his head no one dates Ginny. Hermione was studying her to see if see could detect any other emotion besides nervousness and her mom well she just looked happy to have her baby girl back. Hermione broke the silence,
"So Ginny do you work fulltime at the bookstore?"
"No it's just a weekend job, I write for a newspaper during the weekdays, what do you and Ron do?"
"I'm an auror," stated Ron.
"I work in the department of magical law enforcement."
She nodded. They all went back to eating Ginny began to wonder what happened to Voldemort. When lunch finished she decided to ask.
"Umm… guys what happened to Voldemort?"
"Harry defeated him two years ago."
"That's awesome."
They continued talking well into the afternoon; they talked about qudditch, Ron and Hermiones wedding, even a little about James and of course Mrs. Weasley trying to get Ginny to move back in. Which she politely declined. Ginny looked at her watch. Shit she was supposes to pick James up 20 minutes ago.
"Sorry guys but I have to go and get James."
"Ok dear. How about you and James come to dinner on Monday the whole family is going to be there."
"Fine, just don't tell anyone you've seen me."
All three of them nodded.
"Bye." Crack she was gone.
"Do you think we should have told her Harry killed Voldemort because of her?" asked Ron.
Hermione and Mrs. Weasley shook their heads.
When she finally got home with James she set him down in front of the TV and turned on Go! Diego Go!, which he clapped for.
Ginny layed on the couch and went over todays events that's when it hit her she agreed to go to dinner and bring James along with her. Great now my mom is going to think I am a scarlet woman for sure. I only got 2 days to think of an excuse.
