Road to...Love

Angelina's gift

Next morning, George felt a soft hand on his forehead. It was not rough with experience like Mrs.Weasely's nor soft with scar marks like Ginny's. The touch was something different, calming. The fingers ran perfectly between his hairs. He opened his eyes to see a black haired girl with dark complexion, wearing a beautiful teary smile. It was Angelina. Angelina Jhonson.
"Hey...Hi" George said sitting up and rubbing his sleepy eyes.
"Freshen up. I have something for you" said Angelina putting her hand on his.

Feeling her hand on his, George felt a soft warming sensation in his heart.
They had a small eye contact moment and George went inside the washroom.
Angelina went down and waited for him.
Until George appeared, whole Weasely family was gathered apart from Arthur, Bill, Fluer and Charlie.

He went down confused looking "So, what is it?"
Angelina pulled off the cloth, which  when covered, somewhat seemed like a portrait.
It was Fred's portrait....
As Angelina pulled it off Fred shouted "Boo..."
Everyone gave a jump including Angelina.
Fred started laughing hard. George ran to the portrait raising his arms as if he was about to hug, but......

"Hey there Georgie..." said Fred, "Come on. Angelina where did you bring me. This is not my family."

Hearing this everyone started laughing.

"You were missing Fred, so I thought this might make you feel better. The another one will put up on shop. It will connect Burrow and shop. So...you like it?" Asked Angelina looking clearly uncertain.

"I love it Angelina" exclaimed George and pulled her into a tight hug.

Fred gave a slight smirk.
"It's great Angelina. Thank you" said Ginny putting forward her hand for a handshake. Instead of approaching her hand, Angelina hugged Ginny.

Everyone greeted her a word of thanks and Mrs.Weasely with teary eyes just pulled her into a bone crushing hug.

Seeing this Fred commented "Come on Mum, She is not used to bone crushing. Let her breathe"
Everyone laughed while George gave a small smile.

Fred's eyes then fell on Harry who was standing back, looking hesitant,
"Stop blaming yourself mate".
Hearing this everyone moved their eyes to the direction where Fred's eyes were. He was speaking to Harry.
Ginny rolled her eyes and looked in other direction.
"My death was not your fault...." Harry looked at Fred with tear filled eyes. His hands gripped into fist.
George went to him and hugged him.
"He is right. Nothing is your fault. It was a war and we had to fight", George said getting out of the hug and patting his back.

"I am sorry...." said Harry in a very tearful voice.
Hearing his tearful voice, shivers ran down through Ginny's  spine.
"Oh Harry...." Hermione went to him and hugged him.
"Don't be mate" said Ron taking steps towards him.
"He's right" said Hermione, getting out of the hug, but still clinging on to him, speaking in a soft voice.
All three of them get into  group hug.

Mrs. Weasley, standing beside Fred's portrait, gave a huge smile to Harry and the looked at Fred who was giving an ear to ear grin.

George and Angelina nodded with a smile, but, Ginny didn't gave any reaction nor she looked at him.

Fred noticed it but didn't say anything at the moment. Actually everyone knew what was going on between both of them apart from Fred.

"Well Harry...you didn't say your Dad was so cool" said Fred leaning on his portrait wall.

"You met my parents??..." Asked Harry with a air of shock, "...How are they and Sirius did you meet him. Remus Tonks?!?!"

Hearing the enthusiasm in Harry's voice, Ginny can't help but release a smile.
He was happy... Her man was happy

"I met everyone Harry. Mum..." said Fred looking at Mrs.Weasely, "Don't worry Harry's mum is taking care of me. She sends you loads of Thank you, love, respect to you....for taking care of Harry all these years...."
Mrs.Weasely gave a look signifying "that's not needed".

Fred continued " It loads of Fun with James and Sirius. They are the biggest pranksters I have ever met. Though they are brought into control by Lily. You know..." everyone chuckled, "And Remus and Tonks....they sometimes miss Teddy alot....." hearing Teddy's name both Ginny and Harry jump up slightly as if they came back to senses.

How could Harry forget he was his Godfather and How could she forget she was his Godmother, ".....And Sirius doesn't let them miss him much."

"I forgot I am his Godfather/ Godmother" both Harry and Ginny say in unison.

They look at each other for a moment and then look away.

"Remus made me his Godfather " said Harry looking everywhere but Ginny.
"Tonks made me his Godmother" said Ginny.

"Well I guess then you should obey your responsibilities keeping aside the tension between you" said Angelina.

They both nodded.

"Let's go to the shop to hang up the portrait" said George to Angelina and she gave a nod in answer.
"You ready Freddie?" asked George
"Let's go" answered Fred.

George and Angelina apparated to the shop, selected a suitable place and hung it up. Fred before leaving the burrow eyed Ginny and Harry and left for the shop.

"Come have your breakfast. I'll take George's breakfast to the shop" Mrs.Weasely said as she served them and packed breakfast for George and left for the shop.

While having breakfast, Ginny nudged Harry "I need to talk to you. Meet me after the breakfast" whispered Ginny. Harry nodded in his answer.

Hermione pretended she didn't notice Ginny whispering but Ginny caught her eyes.

"Ronald are you done??" Asked Hermione with a sweet smile.
"2 minutes" said Ron while eating fast.
"Yes you are done. Come on" said Hermione and started pulling Ron off his chair.
"Huh! Leave me you lunatic"  said Ron while trying to release him from her grip but no use she pulled him up the stairs.

After taking Ron into his room, she closed the door and then released him.
"What are you doing?" Asked Ron in annoyance.
"I am lunatic?? You are a big fool. Didn't you see Harry and Ginny wanted to have a talk?!?!" Said Hermione looking away folding her arms across her chest.

Ron realised her emotion and hugged her from behind resting his chin on her shoulder.
He placed a soft kiss on her shoulder and again rested his chin, "I am sorry".
"Seems like your emotional range of teaspoon widened" said Hermione raising her head sideways to look at him.
"Always a tone of surprises" said Ron giving a wink.
Both Ron and Hermione laughed while their foreheads met.
