The morning was crisp and clear—perfect for a game of Quidditch. Although it was only mid-morning, the weather was already quite warm.
Harry and most of the Weasleys, with the exception of Molly and Arthur, were playing a game of Quidditch in the backyard. Hermione was sitting under a shady tree with a book, and Teddy was at Andromeda's for the day.
The Quidditch game consisted of Harry, Ginny, Ron, George, Bill, and Charlie. They were zooming in the air, just blurs of color.
"Great game, Gin!" Ron called as they finished up their game and were making their way to the ground. "But I bet we could have won if Charlie wasn't so rusty."
"Oi! I'll have you know I was Gryffindor's greatest seeker before Harry came along!" Charlie retorted back, grinning.
"Well, 'Gryffindor's greatest seeker' just got beat by his little sister," Ginny smirked.
"Yeah, his little sister who also happens to be a professional Quidditch player," Charlie pointed out. Ginny just smiled in return as they put their brooms back in the shed.
"Anyway, I've got to go get ready for lunch. Hermione's taking me to a Muggle restaurant," Ginny said. "I think she's already went back home to get ready." After saying goodbye to her brothers and Harry, Ginny apparated back to Grimmauld Place.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I know you'll love this place, Ginny. I used to come here all the time with my parents," Hermione said, as her and Ginny were walking down the street.
"That's good, then. I've only been to a Muggle restaurant a few times. Is it really that different from a magical restaurant?" Ginny wondered. They continued to walk as Hermione explained the differences between a Muggle and magical restaurant.
"Okay, this is it," Hermione said, stopping outside the door. The restaurant was small but cozy, and it reminded Ginny a little bit of the Gryffindor common room. The inside was well lit, with a fireplace and couches in one corner. The tables were spread out around the restaurant, and Ginny and Hermione chose a small table by the fireplace.
After a few minutes of making small talk, a waitress came to take their order.
"Hello, welcome to Pizza Kitchen. What can I get for you ladies?"
"We'll split a medium pepperoni pizza, please," Hermione ordered for them both.
Soon enough, the pizza came, and the two women were chatting between bites of the delicious pizza.
"This is so good, 'Mione! How come I've never heard of it before?" Ginny asked curiously. Hermione shrugged.
"It's not a wizarding thing, I guess." The two continued to talk, until the topic of Harry and Ron came up.
"Harry came home really late from work the other day," Ginny commented. "Did Ron come home late too?"
"Yes. and he was so tired, too," Hermione responded. She sat there with a thoughtful look on her face for a moment, chewing her pizza. "Ron mentioned something about an assignment for work, but I don't think it's anything serious. It's not like Harry and Ron to keep important information to themselves."
"I guess you're right. If it was serious, they would have said something," Ginny agreed. "Hey, you're coming to dinner at the Burrow tonight, right?" Hermione nodded in return. "Great! I guess I'll see you there." After a few more bites of pizza, they payed for the food and went home.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dinner at the Burrow was always a hectic affair. They had a big family to start with, but once you started adding grandchildren and spouses, it was a miracle that everyone was able to fit around the table.
The table was filled with people, and multiple conversations were going on at once. This part was nothing new, though. The unusual part was when George and Angelina stood up with their hands clasped together. The table noticed this, and everyone went quiet.
"Guys, Angie and I have something to tell you all," George said. Several people looked intrigued now.
"I'm pregnant!" Angelina announced. Claps and cheers echoed around the room. Mrs. Weasley stood up and went to embrace the happy couple.
"Oh, this is so wonderful! Congratulations, dears!" Mrs. Weasley exclaimed tearfully. After many 'congratulations!' and 'Nice job, Georgie!', everything had finally calmed down.
"Mummy? What does 'preg-a-nint' mean?" Victoire asked, after things had returned to normal. Fluer laughed and kissed her daughter on the cheek.
"It means that Aunt Angie is growing a baby in 'er tummy, just like I did with you," Fluer told her.
"Oh. Will it be a girl? I want it to be a girl, so I can play with her," Victoire requested.
"We don't know yet, love. And you like playing with boys, too. You 'ave fun with Teddy, yes?" Fluer responded. Victoire just nodded and went back to eating. The rest of the dinner was spent in comfortable converstion, before people started to gather their things (and children) and go home.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Molly and Arthur Weasley watched as their children and their families packed up and went back to their respective houses. The night was coming to an end, but for the Weasley parents, they wished it could go on forever.
"Oh, Arthur. Our kids are growing up so fast. Georgie's gonna be a father, and Ginny's about to be married..." she trails off, and sighs wistfully. "I'm so proud of them, of course, but I sometimes wish they were children again."
"I know, Molls, but they can't be kids forever," her husband responded. Arthur put an arm around Molly's shoulders. "They're in their 20s now...they need their parents more than ever. Besides, after all those kids have been through, I think they deserve a happy ending."
"Of course they deserve a happy ending," Molly said. "And I'm so proud of them, all of them, for everything they've done. From getting jobs to starting families of their own. Arthur, I'm so proud of our kids."
"I'm proud of them too, Molly. We've raised them well," Arthur smiled and kissed his wife on the cheek. "And I'm so proud of you. Those kids couldn't have asked for a better mother."
The two sat in comfortable silence for a while, drinking warm tea and relaxing. They shared stories of the kids when they were younger, like when Ginny used to sneak the broomsticks from the shed when she thought no one would notice. Eventually, the two went to bed, but not before lots of reminiscing and lots of laughs.
A/N: Hey guys! How's your day been? I'm so tired, and I'm not feeling well, so my day's not been great. Thanks for reading this chapter! I hope you enjoyed! Chapter 4 should be out soon, but this has 4 (Edit: 18 reads) reads right now, so I honestly don't know if anyone's actually reading this. Have a great rest of your day! 💛
