My Darling Girl

"Big" Brother Duties

I look at the burrow, and felt my hands begin to sweat. Why was this so nerve wrecking? Draco fixes the collar of his favorite coat, and looks at me.

"I'm not even dressed properly for this." I mumbled, frowning, and looking at the sleeves of my cardigan. I look at my brother, who looked like he had gotten the first thing in his closet.

"Do you want me to be civil with the man or not?"

"I do... " I pause. "I thought you were going to take this a lot harder than you are."

"Oh trust me, B. I'm really trying not to really disagree with your choice of man." I roll my eyes.

"Would you rather me go out with Robert? Remember him?" Draco makes a face. "Or maybe even your best friend?"

"Blaise? No. Never. In this case, Robert would be okay." I roll my eyes. Robert was in the same year as us, Slytherin. He wasn't a bad friend, but he sure was clingy. I continue to look at him until he shakes his head. "Fine. I just rather you not date."

"You're being such a brother right now"

"That I am." I let out a sigh, but started to walk towards the cozy place i called home for the last few months. The days that i was going to stay, ended up into months, since one night I was gone back to the manor to get new clothes, and George along with Ron trashed their rooms. Harry and Ginny were sitting by the door, whispering among themselves. Harry looks up, and his eyes go wide.

"Malfoy."

"Potter." Ginny stands and gives me a hug, as she pulls me away from my brother.

"Are you trying to give Ron a heart attack?" She asks, looking behind me.

"No.. But I think George will." She pretends to be choking on something and looks at me.

"What do you mean?" I sigh and cross my arms. The younger Weasley was full of concerned. 

"He wants to be civil with your brother since he's dating me." She raises an eyebrow and smirks.

"Big brother coming out from his shell?" I laugh and shake my head.

"You have no idea, besides.. I think it's a good step on getting Draco not acting like a total asshole with your family."

"Your cousin is Harry's godson." She says,  smiling at the mention of Teddy.

"Exactly." She smiles, and we go back to the boys, who were just staring at each other. "Is George in?" I ask her, as I stand next to my brother.

"He is. Out in the back.. I think he might be talking to Ron."" Harry shakes his head.

"I want to see how this goes." He whispers, making my brother chuckle. I pause at the rare occasion of my brother not saying anything mean to Harry, for the first time in forever. The four of us walk around the house and I stand back, along with Harry. Ron and George were just talking, laying on the grass. It was one of the rare times where he was talking to his siblings, when he wasn't crying. He was actually laughing, and so was Ron. Ginny looks back at me, her eyes glossing with tears that threaten to fall.

"Hey, Georgie." I say, as i walked towards the brothers. I look down at him, and he grins.

"Well hello, pretty lady." Ron sits up, and immediately stands up as he makes eye contact with my brother.

"Malfoy." George looks at me confused, and he also stands up. I grab his hand, and hold him back. "What are you doing here?"

"Not to talk to you Weasel." Draco hissed, rolling his eyes. "I'm here to talk to your brother next to you." Ron looks at George and then at our hands.
