"Hello! Helloooo!" said Mrs. Weasley as she ran out to meet her daughter and son-in-law. She pulled them both into a hug. "Hello! Come in! Dinner is ready." she said as she rushed them into the house.
"Yes, hello mum. Sorry we are a little late." said Harry while giving Victoire a birthday kiss on the head.
Everyone said hello as the two latecomers sat down (except for Ron who said "Let's eat!"). Mrs. Weasley and Fleur came out of the kitchen carrying dish upon dish of food. Roast chicken, potatoes, green beans, Yorkshire puddings, gravy, bread rolls, and a salad were all put on the table and attacked by the hungry family.
"So Ginny, why were you so late? Usually you come early to help me in the kitchen." asked Mrs. Weasley as she helped her grandchild serve herself mashed potatoes.
"Sorry about that mum. We lost track of time. Harry was looking at some work things and I was wrapping the gift." answered Ginny, not looking up from her plate.
"Oh, that's alright. You are here now." said Mr. Weasley. He was watching his petite little daughter inhale a whole roast potato in less than a minute.
Once everyone had had their fill of the great feast and their fill of cake, Victoire went into the yard with Teddy to play. Harry and Ginny went to sit together on an armchair and kept whispering to each other. George looked away from his conversation with Bill and saw the pair whispering.
"Oy! What are you guys whispering about over there? Include the family!" he said. Ginny glared at him. "Ohhh. It must be something. I just got the death glare from little sis over there." he whispered loudly into Angelina's ear.
"What is it Harry?" asked Ron. Ginny looked at Harry, sure that he would tell Ron right away.
"Oh, it's nothing mate. We're just discussing some stuff." answered Harry calmly. Everyone could see that he was trying not to smile.
"We do not keep secrets in this family Harry. What is it?" asked Mr. Weasley. He looked both of them in the eye. They were looking a little uncomfortable now. They both hated to lie to Mr. Weasley. He rarely asked personal questions, so if he wanted to know, that meant that he REALLY wanted to know. They looked at each other.
Harry whispered in Ginny's ear, "I have an idea." She looked at him, narrowing her eyes. What was he going to say?
"It's nothing dad. We were just discussing names." said Harry, like he was answering a question about how the weather was.
There was silence, which is extremely rare for the Weasley family. All conversations had stopped. A hair pin fell from Hermione's pinned up hair. The sound of it hitting the floor sounded like a rock hitting the ground from 10 feet up.
"I'm sorry?" asked Hermione. Ginny smiled at her. She had never seen her sister-in-law so confused before.
"He said that we were discussing names for the baby." said Ginny. She looked around as she spoke. Silence.
"You're pregnant?!?!" screamed Mrs. Weasley, the biggest smile possible spreading on her face.
"Yes." answered Ginny, who was still looking around at the family. Harry was only looking at one person.
Ron Weasley was the only one not looking happy.
