Chapter 7: With the Weasleys

Ronald Weasley, better known to everyone as Ron, let out a thundering sigh. He glanced down at the pile of paperwork on the desk in front of him. He was currently seated in his small office and his and Hermione’s flat. He knew he needed to get this case done, even if it was just filing the paperwork, but he was to distracted. Hermione had come home from Diagon Alley singing Theodore Nott’s praises, saying that the man was a genuius and all sorts of other strange nonsense, then she had gone so far as to tell him, in no uncertain terms, that they’d be having the man over for dinner later that week.

Needless to say, Ron was torn on the matter. He trusted Hermione, but he still carried many prejuidces left over from his days at Hogwarts. Ranking his fingers through his fire red hair he glanced down again before shoving the papers aside.

He’d see what Nott had to say and then he’d make his own decision.

Rising slowly the lanky red head wandered out of his small office space and towards the living room. Hermione was out with her mother shopping -again- for the baby. He was tempted to floo Fred and George, he knew they had gone to the Potter-Malfoys for dinner the previous night. He was a bit hurt that Harry hadn’t invited him and Hermione but he was slowly starting to realize that the way he, Hermione and the majority of his family had treated Harry fairly badly in the past in their misguided attempt to care for the boy.

“Ron?” A voice from behind startled him, whirling he was surprised to see Ginny’s head sitting in his fire place.

“Damn Gin, you almost gave me heart failur” The man chide the girl, though both grinned.

“Whatever Ron” Ginny said with a roll of her eyes, “Mum was wondering if you wanted to come over for lunch?” She asked arching an eyebrow at her older brother.

“Yea, sounds good. Do I need to bring anything?” Ron asked, at least now he had an excuse to get out of the house.

“Mum said you could try to invite Harry, she misses him” Ginny said in a faux casual voice. In truth it was Ginny who wanted to see Harry and without Malfoy around. Ron sighed, but nodded.

“I’ll floo and ask him, I know Draco has a practice today and if Harry didn’t go along he’s sure to be bored”

“I certainly hope that snake didn’t leave him alone in that house” Ginny said sounding very much like a scandalized Mrs. Weasley.

“It’s just not safe for him” She added, shaking her head in obvious disgust.

“See you in a bit Gin” Ron said in a tired voice, though he did agree that despite everything Harry shouldn’t be alone.

Grabbing a handful of the emerald green powder he and ‘Mione kept on the mantel he tossed it into the red flames, turning them instantly green. Sticking his head in the fire he called out the name of Harry and Draco’s residence.

“Master Harry” Mipsy’s shrill voice called out, dragging Harry out of his zoned out ‘writing’ state.

“Hmm? Yes?” The raven haired man asked, focusing his attention on the elf. He resisted the temptation to straighten his glasses, since he no longer wore them. Severus had brewed Harry an eye correction potion which cured all problems with his eyesight. The only problem was that Harry had wore glasses for so long that he often felt ‘ghost glasses’ and would rub at his face only to find they were non-existent.

“There is being a red haired man in the fire. He is asking that yous go and speak to him” Mipsy said, grinning at the man.

“Ah, okay” Harry said wth a grin, he only knew a couple red haired men and assumed it was either the twins or Ron.

“Tell him I’ll be right there, just gotta wash the ink off of my hands”

“Yes sir, Mipsy will be telling him” The elf said before disappearing with a loud crack.

Moments later Harry wheeled his way into the library where Ron was.

“Hey Ron” The saviour of the wizarding world said with an easy smile, “What’s up?”

“Hey mate, I was just heading over to Mum’s for lunch. ‘Mione’s shopping again” Ron pulled a face, causing Harry to snort in a very undignified manner.

“I was wondering if you wanted to tag along? It’ll just be you, me, Mum and Ginny” Ron said with a small grin.

“I am hungry...” Harry said, looking thoughtful. Lunch with the Weasley’s had been extremely uncomfortable last time, but he did want to maintain his friendship with Ron and he knew that meant keeping up his relationship with the other Weasleys, even if he was reluctant to.

“Okay, I’ll get an elf to bring me over, since I can’t really floo” Harry finally agreed, a hesitant smile on his face.

“Alright mate, see you in a bit” Ron said with a huge grin. Harry nodded, waiting for his friend to leave before penning a quick note to Draco and sending it off with one of the owls. He hadn’t purchased another owl since Hedwig had been brutally killed in his escape from the Dursleys so he just used the owls that Narcissa and Lucius had supplied them with.

“Mipsy?” He called out, waiting patiently for the little elf to be appear.

“Can you please take me over to the Burrow?” He asked once she popped into existance in front of him.

The elf gave him an odd look, her ears flapping for a moment before she nodded.

“Mipsy can be doing that” The elf finally agreed reaching out and taking Harry’s hand and popping them into the Weasley’s front yard.

“Glad to see you made it” Ron said from nearby. He had been waiting for Harry, knowing the man would need help getting across the uneven terrain that lead to the Burrow.

“Thanks Mipsy, I’ll call you when I’m ready to come home” Harry said, smiling at the elf.

“Yes sir, Mipsy will be listening for yous to call her” She said before disappearing back to the Potter-Malfoy house.

“Thanks mate” Harry said in a relieved voice as Ron pushed his chair across the bumpy ground.

“No problem, we really should have a path, it’d be easier for everyone” Ron said as he made it to the front door and shoved it open.

“We’re here” He called into the kitchen as Ginny and Molly came rushing over to help.

“Oh Harry you came” Ginny said, tossing her arms carelessly around the brunette once he was safely inside.

“Yea, I figured I couldn’t pass up a meal made by your Mum” Harry said, carefully untangling himself from Ginny’s embrace and settling himself at the table.

“We’re glad to have you Harry, you’re always welcome here” Molly said as she magicked the food onto the table.

“I know Molly, thanks” Harry said gently, begining to load his plate carefully.

“So Harry how’s the book coming?” Ginny asked, leaning on the table in what she seemed to think was an alluring position.

“It’s coming, I’m half way through the rough draft of my third book” Harry said smiling lightly.

“Mione bought the first two the other day” Ron pipped up, “She was ashamed she’d never gotten around to reading them, says they’re awesome” He added, grinning at his best mate.

“Really? Well tell her thanks and for that she can have a free copy of the third” Harry said with a light blush and shy smile.

“I’ll let her know. She’ll need lots of reading material once the baby comes and she’s not allowed to work” Ron said, faking a groan. In truth the red head was extremely excited to be a father, though like any first time parent he was nervous.

Conversation continued in this manner for awhile, allowing Harry to realx a bit and remember the many times he had been seated at this very table enjoying time with what he considered his surrogate family. It pained him that they had grown so distant, but he really couldn’t help that. He was just glad that they seemed to be reconciling.

Seated in the Weasley living room, Ginny sitting uncomfortably close to him and Ron on the couch across from him reminded him of one of the reasons he had distanced himself from the family. Ginny had always had a crush on him, something akin to hero worship, he had hoped it would disappear when he came out of the closet and the subsequently married Draco Malfoy. Instead it seemed to have made everything worse and Ginny lived in a delusional world in which she would eventually win Harry over and they’d be married and have kids. It, frankly, scared him since he had no idea how far the red headed female was willing to go with this idea and fantasy. He knew Ginny to be single minded and he also knew she had the Weasley stubborness and this combined with her ability to obsess over things worried him. Shifting a bit he took an absentminded sip of his tea.

“Well Harry?” Ginny’s voice broke him out of his thoughts.

“Hmm? Sorry” He blushed, “What did you say?” He asked curiously, realzing that he had totally missed her question.

“I was wondering if you’re going to the big dance at the Ministry?” She said, shaking her head at the raven haired man.

“The ball at the Ministry? Hmm, I don’t know. I believe we are” He said, shrugging a bit. “Are you?” He asked politely.

“Yes I suppose I am, don’t have a date yet though” She said, looking pointedly at Harry. “It’ll be so boring without someone to pass the time with”

“Why not ask Neville or Dean or something?” Harry suggested, he knew Ginny was hinting that she wanted him to take her, but he’d be going with his husband or not at all.

“They’re both so boring Harry” Ginny said in a dramatic voice.

“None of the boys I know are interesting, except for you” She said softly, reaching out and placing a hand on his leg, rather high up he might add.

“Sorry Gin, if I go at all I’m going with Dray” He said, carefully picking up her hand and moving it back to her own lap.

“You’d have fun with Dean and Neville’s a killer dancer” Harry added, feeling the need to defend his friends.

Ginny look put out for a moment, before a small, coniving smile appeared on her face.

“Maybe I will ask Neville” She said, her eyes flashing for a moment.

“Well Lunch was lovely Molly, but I really shoud be getting home” Harry said softly, he was beginning to feel trapped here.

“Oh must you Harry dear? You’re welcome to stay longer” Molly said, immediately standing up and hovering around him.

“I don’t like you traveling with those house elves, they’re so unreliable” She said, her hands fluttering needlessly by his head.

“Mipsy is very careful Molly, she won’t let anything happen” Harry tried to reassure.

“No no dear, if you must leave I’ll take you” Molly said suddenly, ignoring Harry’s protest.

“Its that or you stay until Draco can come get you” She said, her voice firm and no nonsense.

“Fine” Harry said sullenly, glowering at her.

“None of that young man, you’re not to old to be turned over my knee” Molly snapped, scooping Harry out of his chair and holding him much like a small baby.

“Merlin Harry you’re far to light, you need to be eating more” Molly growled, ignoring Harry’s mild protest and red cheeks. Molly always managed to embaress him, whether it was fussing over him, asking about his healer appointments or the other awkward questions that came with having a non-functioning lower half.

She shrunk his chair and placed it in her pocket before apperating them to Harry’s house.

“Lovely home dear, I haven’t seen it in awhile” Molly said, pushing open the front door. As the door opened Mipsy suddenly appeared, looking anxious.

“Master Harry is supposed to be calling Mipsy when he is leaving, Mipsy is being worried” She said, fluttering around Harry, whom Molly had yet to put down.

“Oh get away you silly creature, I’ve handled everything” Molly said, causing Mipsy to look outraged. Harry groaned, it would take him hours to calm down the little elf.

“Now dear, where’s your bedroom?” Molly asked, still refusing to put Harry down and unshrink his chair. Grousing for a moment, Harry finally poiinted it out.

Moments later found Harry tucked into bed, against his will, and Molly leaving the house. His wand and chair were both just out of reach and he was pissed. Molly had scared the elves into listening to her and he was going to be stuck in bed until at least Draco got home or he calmed down the elves.

“Don’t forget Harry, anytime Draco is away I want you to come to the Burrow, I just don’t feel safe with you here alone. I’ll appeal to your healer if I must” She called before she went outside to apperate away.
