Sisterly Surprise

It was a calm, clear evening at forty-seven Animagi Avenue in Godric's Hollow, yet twenty-year-old Harry Potter was still lying wide awake in bed, with his girlfriend of five years, Ginny Weasley lying beside him, though fast asleep. Thoughts were throwing themselves around in Mr. Potter's young head, and he couldn't reach a decision, although he knew what he had to do. It was whether he could physically do it. Suddenly he heard rustling of sheets and saw that Ginny had awoken, mostly because of Harry's thought-provoked movements. It was obvious she was wondering what was wrong.

"Harry, you should really get some sleep. What is it that's bothering you so much?" Ginny asked concerned.

"Ginny...we've got to tell him..." Harry started, but since Ginny still looked confused, he finished his sentence. "We have to tell Ron about...well... us."

"NO! No, Harry we can't!" Ginny almost yelped, and she looked extremely scared and nervous. "Harry! He'll kill me! Even though I'm nineteen, and I can fend for myself, he'll say I'm too young and he'll hurt me Harry! I know he will! I know him to well! Harry! You can't!"

"Ginny...he's your brother. He wouldn't do a thing like that. He loves you too much. Gin, I'm sorry, but I think I really have to. We've waited long enough. It's been five years, and he still thinks your single. Plus, I know Ron will figure out that your story about being in America for the past month and a half isn't true. I know he's not the smartest person in the world, but he's intelligent enough to put one and one together. He's going to find out sooner or later, and I know that if he finds out before I can tell him, he'll kill me, not you...I'm telling you Ginny, he's my best friend. I know I have to do this..." Harry explained.

Ginny sat quite still for a moment, trying to get what Harry said to sink in. However, she still looked extremely nervous.

"Harry...I suppose you're right. We have to tell him. Will you do it though? I don't think I can face him directly right after he finds out." Harry nodded. "Of course I will. I was planning to do it myself anyways. I'll go as soon as I wake up tomorrow." He smiled sweetly and planted a soft kiss on her lips. "Goodnight my baby girl."

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

True to his word, as soon as Harry awoke the next morning, he took a quick shower, got dressed, and apparated promptly to Ron's mansion about 6 streets down. Ron had quite a bit more money now, as he was drafted onto the English National Quidditch Team as Keeper his first year out of Hogwarts. As a matter of fact, he was incredibly rich. Harry walked up to the door nervously and knocked. Ron was the one to answer the door.

"Er...hello there mate..." Harry began nervously. He didn't know how he would possibly be able to do this. "I...I haven't seen you in awhile. Fancy taking...taking a walk?" He really hoped Ron wasn't busy.

"Sure Harry...it'd be really nice to catch up on things..."

Now it's real hard for me to tell you this 'cause you're my best friend

But I'm just gonna be straight up wit' ya

Now you're my boy and all but we need to talk

Stop by the store, bring your ball, let's hit the park

Gonna rap for a minute but don't take it to hard 'cause

I'm hopin' afterwards you'll still be my partner

It's hard for me to express how I'm feeling

And when you hear this news you're gonna fly thru the ceiling

But I'm willing to let you hear the truth

And in fact its better than I told you 'fore you hear the story backwards...

"OK...Ron...we need to talk," Harry said, sitting down on an elegant bench in the middle of the fountain courtyard gardens in Ron's backyard. "It's about Ginny."

It's about this new girl I'm creepin'

It's my little secret and I can hardly keep it

"What about Ginny?" Ron started. "Do you know something about her? She hasn't even called me since she went to America!"

It's your sister and

Homey, I been with her

I been with her for a while now

There's nothing you can do about it

"Ok Ron...Ginny was never in America..." Harry began, wincing before Ron even answered him.

"WHAT?! What do you mean?! Where is she Harry? Do you know?" Ron began, sounding almost nervous, like she was a two-year-old lost in a shopping mall.

"No... Ron you really have to listen to me...there's something really important I have to tell you about Ginny."

"What...Harry...what's going on?" Ron started, suspiciously.

"Ron...I'm dating your sister..."

The first time I'd ever seen her

You moved her outta my way

I was dying to meet her

But I met you first we became real cool

Started hangin out in school...

"Harry...wait...no...you must be lying to me...Ginny's too young..." Ron started babbling. It almost seemed like he didn't know what he was saying himself. Like he almost didn't want to believe what he knew was the truth.

"Ron...I'm not lying...Ginny and I have been together for five years..."Harry started, but he was cut off immediately by Ron.

"You must be joking! All these years, I was here thinking that Ginny was an innocent little girl and she's been running along with you behind my back. And I thought I could trust you! The nerve you have to keep something like this away from me! I can't believe you Harry. Why on earth would you do this to me!" Even though Ron's voice was heated and flamed, there were small tears forming in the corners of his eyes. "I just thought you were my best friend..."

No need for no beats so stop actin irrational

Still that same brotha who always had your back for you

You know I'd never hurt her or try something foul

"Ron...please...you've got to give it time...please just listen..." Harry pleaded with his best friend. He had to get Ron to listen to him. He had to make Ron believe his sincerity.

"I just don't understand how you could do this to me Harry! This started while we were still in school! How come you never told me? I thought you were my best friend Harry...I thought you told me everything...I thought you could trust me...this isn't right Harry...she's my baby sister...I should have been the first to know...I SHOULD HAVE BEEN FIRST!" Ron said, slamming his fist down onto the table with his last statement.

"Ron, please...listen to me! There's one more thing I've got to break to you...please, please don't kill me..."

"What can be worse than any of this?"

"Ron...Ginny's pregnant..."

Besides, you don't want your niece growing up w/out a daddy around

That's right your baby sister's quite pregnant

And we're already checked in to meeting with a reverend...

"WHAT?" Ron's mouth opened in surprise. "Ginny...G-Ginny's p-p-pregnant?" Harry nodded; sincerely hoping another outbreak wasn't in store for him. "Yes Ron...and we're getting married in June..."

"You...You and Ginny...getting married? Harry, are you serious?" Ron stuttered.

"I am Ron...I love your sister very much...If you don't like it, then I'll just have to give you time. I just hope that you'll understand...I love her so much and I'm never going to give her up for anything Ron. Not for anything in the whole world..."

It's your sister

You know I love her

I'd never hurt her

Or ever leave her

Ron simply stared at Harry with a stern face on and he wasn't saying anything. He seemed to be thinking over the matter quite thoroughly. Harry hoped he would realize that there was nothing he could do about it. Harry simple loved Ginny too much to even think about leaving her for anything.

"Harry?" Ron said, finally breaking the silence.

"Yeah Ron...?"

You know that day I didn't make it to hoop practice?

I wasn't really sick and laid up

I made up that whole story just so I could be with the girl.

She makes my heart skip a beat

Lollipop's sugar sweet

With that twinkle in her eyes and dimple in her cheek

Every time I see her smile I swear my knees get weak

I swear my knees get weak...

"Be good to my sister..."

Its your sister and

Homey I been with her

I been with her for awhile now

There's nothing you can do about it

It's your sister

You know I love her

I'd never hurt her

Or ever leave her

Oh no, no, no...
