"What does he mean by 'more than honorary brothers'?!" Padfoot asked
"I think it's pretty obvious what he means" Lilly snickered
"Fortunately he's right when he says it's not true" Remus interjected "plus Padfoot really isn't my type"
"I agree it's not true" Sirius replied "but come on, I'm everybody's type."
"Don't worry you two" Lilly smiled "my son is going to steer you two right and finally get you two to settle down."
"Bet you ten sickles he doesn't" Sirius replied
"You're on" Lilly agreed
"Hold on a sec" James interrupted "what the hell does he mean by 'put up with him'?"
"Good Merlin I love that boy" Lilly sighed "I hope he never changes"
"Lilly" Remus spoke softly "I haven't asked yet but what's your opinion on how he plans to deal with Voldermort and his death eaters"
"Honestly?" she replied "I wish he wasn't the one who had to do it, I'm not a fan of killing but he does make a good point. Dumbledore is clearly ineffective with how he goes about things and the only people he plans to hurt deserve it. Plus I'm not worried about him going dark, that's what my future daughter-in-law is for. Besides I don't think an evil person would be willing to get Remus a year's supply of Wolfsbane."
"True" James nodded "as long as it's just people who deserve it then I don't see the problem, I just find it a bit sad, at his age he's supposed to be worrying about nothing but having fun"
"And studying" Lilly interrupted
"And studying" James agreed "but instead he's worrying about just being able to stay home and whether or not he's going to have to deal with voldy shorts."
"I know" Lilly growled "I just hope he succeeds". The four continued watching as the screen began playing again.
Harry had just flame travelled to the edge of the burrow, he slowly walks closer when he notices a particularly pretty red head leaning against a tree. He silently walked over, no sooner than he reached the tree the red head jumped to a standing position and aimed her wand at him.
"Impressive" Harry commented "you're improving"
"Harry!" She exclaimed pocketing her wand back in her holster before she ran up and hugged the life out of him
"Hi Ginny" Harry hugged her back "you missed me I take it?"
"Prat" She playfully slapped him "I thought I wasn't going to see you for a while, you just got home yesterday."
"I did, but I quickly said hello and checked everything. I rested for the night and I did my morning workout"
"I can tell" Ginny slid an arm down his chest
"Thank you" Harry replied "now what are you doing out here?"
"Oh well Ron's being a prat" She explained "you're little 'story' yesterday got him into a fair bit of trouble, he said that if he sees you again he'd 'knock your teeth in', with that being said you are coming with me to the burrow right now." She grabbed his hand and lead him to the burrow
"Oh yeah" Ginny spoke "our letters are coming today"
"Mine as well" Harry added "I told McGonagall to send mine to you"
"Really?"
"Yeah I can just flame straight over and it's one less attempt for them to find my house"
"True, Percy told me that if he gets good enough grades then today he'd tell the family about the job"
"Good for him" Harry smiled "I don't want to miss your mum's reaction to that"
The twins and Percy immediately greeted Harry, Ron looked like he wanted to say something but under Ginny's gaze he wisely kept shut.
"Hello Harry" Mrs Weasley entered "how are you dear?"
"Fine, I just wanted to come and say hello. I told the school to send my letter here, I figured I could get my letter than me and Ginny can see what the twins and Percy got for their results."
"That's nice dear" Before she could say anymore an owl flew in with a pile of letters and everyone took their own.
"Hey Gin, it looks like we're going to Hogwarts for another year" Harry joked
"Three owls?!" Molly screamed after she saw the twins results "you both have three owls each?!"
"Come on mum" Ginny spoke "it could be worse"
"Yeah" George agreed "we have three owls each"
"And seeing as we're one person in two bodies that means we have a combined six owls" Fred added
"Although that's still less than Percy"
"But it puts us on Par with Charlie"
"You two should have tried harder!" Molly yelled
"I don't believe it" Percy whispered
"What is it Percy?" Harry asked
"I passed my N.E.W.T.s" He exclaimed suddenly "I've got the job"
"Congratulations Percy" Molly exclaimed "wait a moment, what job?"
"I had an offer from the ministry" Percy explained "if I passed my exams then I would get a job as Mr Barty Crouch's personal assistance" No sooner than he had finished talking another owl flew in, with a letter for Percy. It handed him the letter and he took it, to say he was happy would be an understatement.
"It's from the ministry" He explained "they said that my flat could be ready by tomorrow"
"You're flat?!" Molly asked "you mean you're moving out?!"
"Yes!" Percy answered, oblivious to his mother's discomfort
"But Percy, you don't want to move out!"
"Yes I do" Percy replied "I love our home mother but it'd be nice to have my own place"
"But Percy! You can't leave, the rest of us would miss you!"
"We wouldn't" The twins spoke
"One less mouth to feed" Ron pointed out
"Boys!" Molly shrieked
"I'm really proud of you" Ginny hugged her brother "you're now a big shot ministry worker, in a year I expect to see you promoted with a wife"
"Yeah, well done Percy" Harry added
"Thank you sister" Percy hugged her back "and thanks Harry, that means a lot"
"Well you deserve it" She smiled "and don't let anyone tell you otherwise, if they do then me and Harry will straighten them up on your behalf"
"Thank you, the both of you, now I'm going to go and get my stuff ready." Percy ran upstairs with a frantic Molly following after him.
"Well" Harry spoke "there are worst ways to start the day"
"Speaking off" Ginny nodded towards the door, just as Hermione came in.
"Hermione!" Ron exclaimed
"Little excited to see the girlfriend aren't we?" Fred asked
"Shut up" Ron demanded
"Don't be rude Ronald" Hermione scolded "hello everyone, hi Harry" Ron glared at him whilst everyone else either raised an eyebrow or rolled their eyes
"Come on Gin" Harry grabbed her hand "why don't we go for a walk outside?"
"Excellent idea"
She led him away, the two walked around the burrow for a bit, laughing and talking. Until dinner time, when they went inside. Everyone sat at the table, Ron and Hermione sat opposite to Harry and Ginny, the two held hands under the table while they ate. A fact that was not missed by everyone else, Mrs Weasley was too busy looking back and forth between the food she was cooking/serving and Percy to notice. Percy didn't say anything as he approved of their relationship, even before he helped get him a job.
