Facings

As Harry walked down Ottrey St. Catchplole, the only thing he could think about was the fact he kidnaped these people's daughter.

"Oh yes, Harry bloody famous Potter is scared of his girlfriend's family." He said.

"What did you say, love?" Ginny asked.

"Nothing just that facing his highness Lord Moldywart would be easier then what we are doing. Why can't you just keep writing to them instead. I could keep using Frost to deliver the letters." Harry complained, not trying to hide the fact he was scared.

"You know we have to sooner or later, and my belief is better sooner then later." Ginny simply stated even though they both knew she was also scared.

"Yah yah, are we there yet?"

"Actually, yes we are." Ginny told him and the bundle of nerves in Harry's stomach started up with twice the power it was earlier.

"I was kind of hoping you'd say no." He told her, standing in front of the door to the crooked house. The shadow of it imitating his fear; huge and looming.

"Go ahead knock" Ginny said a bit more worried this time.

Harry knocked on the the door and for a moment it appeared no one home. Then just before he turned to leave he herd a almost sing-songy soft kind but stern and sad voice saying "Come in." He suspected it was Mrs. Weasley's voice and was right.

The lady who the voice belonged to turned around. Mrs.Weasley was staring from Harry to Ginny to there, fists clenched together. Until then neither of them noticed they were holding hands. They both let go and blushed vigorously.

"Arthur, Percy, Ron, Bill, Charlie, George and Fred, come here now!" Molly boomed. Everyone walked into the room and gasped.

"Harry Potter, it's a honor to meet you Ginny's told me so much about you." Harry said. Hoping he was smiling, he went over the twins. They looked just as identical as Ginny said, so he guessed they were Fred and George.

As soon as Harry was close enough all the Weasley's except Ginny ran at Harry. 'This is it', Harry thought, 'I'm going to die'. But instead of attacking they hugged him.

The eldest bloke spoke first. From what Ginny told him, this was her father.

"Thank you so much Mr. Potter, would you mind leaving so Ginny can have some time with her family", Mr. Weasley said, "but can I say first it's an honor to meat you."

"Arthur", Mrs. Weasley said, "Let the poor boy sit and explain how he snatched Ginny from those evil death eaters." She then she summoning eleven chairs.

"Actually Harry and I both have some explaining to do." Ginny told them. "But I want you to first swear you won't interrupt or erupt. Okay?" They all agreed.

"Okay", Harry started, "I suppose it started when we ran into each other at Diagon Alley. I was there getting new scar cover and I have no clue what your daughter was doing. Ginny recognized me from my scar and panicked. I was freaking out when I heard someone coming, not wanting to be seen by any other strangers I stunned Ginny and apparated to my place. So actually her kidnapper isn't a death eater. It's me." Harry stopped to let it soak in.

He and Ginny finished their explanation leaving out two details. One that Harry's an Animagus, which they didn't plan on telling them yet, and two they were dating.

The looks on there face explained there moods. Mrs. Weasley looked relived, Mr. Weasley a bit shaken, Percy looked stern, Ron looked about ready to scream, the twins were thinking of some trick to play on Harry for taking there sister and Bill and Charlie looked like they wanted to rip Harry apart.
