The Weasley Child

Chapter 9

I spent the rest of the night in my room, and it wasn't until Ginny and Hermione came up a few hours later that I talked to anyone.

"How are you feeling?" Ginny asked as the two of them sit down on their beds. I had added another mattress in the room so that i could sleep with them now. I just felt more comfortable in there with them.

"Much better. i think you were right though." I say looking at Ginny.

"I think she's right too." Hermione says sitting on her bed. She then covers her mouth with her hands and looks deeply apologetic. "I'm so sorry! Ginny just told me because she said she wanted another opinion! I didn't mean to tell you! Oh i'm so sorry!" She says sympathetically.

"Hermione it's fine! Really, i'm glad she told you. I would havae ended up telling you anyway. You're a close friend now."

"Aside from that." Ginny says interrupting us. "Hermione and i have talked it over, and we just think it's a little odd that George is doing this."

"I agree but, I just don't want to think about it. He's just doing this to be nice." I say laying down under the large fluffy comforter on my bed.

"Well, what are you going to wear?" Hermione asks quietly from her bed.

"I think I have just the thing." I say as Ginny uses her wand to turn the lights off. We all settle into our beds and within moments i'm in a deep sleep.

"Hello George!" Mrs. Weasley says as George walks into the kitchen. I had been helping her jinx her cooking utensils to help peel potatoes. "Dinner will be ready in an hour!" She says as he picks up a roll from the tray that had just been taken out of the oven.

"I actually won't be here for dinner tonight." George says with his mouth full of roll.

"You won't?" Mrs. Weasley says turning around to lean on the counter. "And where exactly are you planning on being?" She asks raising her eyebrow curiously.

"I'm going out for dinner with Kerri tonight." George says giving me a smile before he walks out to join Ron outside to do the de-gnoming of the garden that Mrs. Weasley had ordered them to do today. Mrs. Weasley turns and looks at me with a very confused expression on her face.

"he offered. He said that he wanted to make it up to me for upsetting me yesterday about the picture." I say trying to explain why I would be going out for dinner with my dead fiance's brother.

"Oh, well that's very nice." She says going back to the food. "You can go get ready if you'd like, I think i have this all under control!"

"Alright, thank you!" I say heading towards the stairs. I run all the way up to the room I share with GInny and Hermione.

I walked over to the closet and pulled out the outfit I had planned last night. I pulled out the long red coat and found a pair of jeans to wear with it. As I was searching for the white flats I heard the door open and the sound of light footsteps walking over to one of the beds.

"That's lovely." The person says and i turn around to see Hermione sitting on the bed looking at the outfit i had layed out.

"Oh thank you." I say pulling out my wand. "Accio flats." I say pointing my wand in the direction of the pile of shoes on thhe bottom of the closet floor. A second later the white leather flats flew out of the closet into my hands.

"Yeah, of course." I say wondering what she wants to talk about.

"You're going to have to start seeing a doctor soon, because of the baby."
