"I've congraulated him previously, Mum." Asher said in a soft voice. She held back a chuckle and whishpered into her mother's ear. "Yes, the redhead."

Molly Smiled to herself. She didn't know what she would do with out Angelina. She was such a sweetheart. She just hoped Aurther and Goerge would hurry up.

"Ginny. My Derek picked a guddun." He smiled and looked away from his wife.

Jade tapped Mrs. Weasley on the shoulder lightly and nodded at the house meaning that she was going to try to get Ron to come downstairs. Years of not being able to speak English had taught her how to communicate effectively without speaking at all. She smiled and walked back into the house and all the way upstairs, where Ron was hovering outside his old room. She placed a hand on his shoulder and waited from him to look up. When he did, she held his eyes for several moments before he finally allowed her to steer him downstairs.

Ron hadn't expected anyone to fetch him, but knew somewhere inside himself that it was for the better that someone did. He was glad that it had been Jade and not his wife or sister. He couldn't bear to look at either of them and know that they were diappointed with his bahavior. He walked back downstairs slowly, mind still a bit blank, and walked back outside with Jade, who patted him on the back and left him to help out with the preparations.

Hermione smiled. "C'mon then." She took Lilys hand and led her out to the swings. "Which one?" She knelt down to the youngsters height and smiled at her. There were two sets of swings seeing as there were so many Weasleys. Shde looked back over at Ron hoping eh would come over.

OOC: Ahh... for added drama, could Hermione be pregnant? Or unable to have kids? (Both would add. )

Ron surveyed the garden slowly and his eyes fell on Hermione who was playing with Lily on the swings. He smiled warmly and walked over to the two of them, feeling much comfortable approaching the girl now that she wasn't with her father. He sat in the swing next to her and looked over at Hermione with glad eyes.

OOC. Im not bothered. Up to you? Drama is good

Shan x

IC: Hermione smiled up at Ron and looked back at the youngster attempting to get on the swing.

OOC: Yep!

Ron picked Lily up under her arms and helped her into the swing in a quick movement, watched the toddler in wonder. Having come from a big family himself, Ron had always wanted a few kids, but they had found out recently that Hermione couldn't. He leaned across and kissed her softly and then continued to watch Harry's daughter as she furiously kicked her legs to get moving.

Hermione smiled up at Ron. She adored playing with children seeing as she could not have any of her own. It made her heartbroken to see people with children and her and Ron had considered adoption. But it didnt get very far. She noticed the child couldnt push herself so Hermione stood up and began to push the young child.

OOC: I'm going to steal the other scenario for Jade.

Ron watched his wife playing with Lily and thought she was a beautiful mother, even if they didn't have any kids. He smiled sadly at Harry's daughter and squeezed Hermione's hand gently. "I'm going to go and help my mother," he said in a raspy voice, his eyes wattery.

Jade smiled over at Ron and Hermione, leaning back slightly to relieve the pressure from her swollen stomach. She dipped a stick of celery into a tub of butter and crunched it slowly.

OOC: Heehee. Gotta go. Byes

OOC. Alrighty Byees

BIC: Hermione smiled at Ron. "Alright." She said weakly. She hated seeing him how he was. She knew he wanted kids but she just couldnt give them to him. "So Little Miss. How old are you then?" She smield at Lily. She looked just like her dad.

She looked over at Jade and her swolen stomach. Hermione sighed. She was jelous but happy for her.

Derek looked across at his sister, and gave her a pained look. Thank God that he had at least one sane relative.

Oh no.
"Mother, can we lay off the sweetness just a teeny bit?" He asked, casting a 'help me' look over in Ginny's direction.

Not him aswell...

OOC:Nice idea, Jade!

Ginny hugged Mrs. Johnson back, and ulling away, smiled at Mr. Johnson and Asher. She'd met Asher only thrice, but she really liked her; she was really sweet and friendly. "Pleased to meet you too, Mrs. Johnson. I'm sorry I couldn't meet you earlier, but Derek couldn't bear to leave Quidditch till now." Turning to Asher, she said,"Hey, Asher! It's been ages!" she said, hugging her. Turning to all of them, she said,"It's nearly dinner time, so how about we go to outside? I can show you around the garden and introduce my family to you before we eat."

Joseph smiled. "Yeah. Sounds great."

Smiling he said. "Its okay. Its liek ours at christmas."

Hermione walked over to Ginny leavibn Lily no the swing.

Joseph sat next to his wife and watched the chaos.

Hermione smiled. "Yeah I will get Lily." She smiled at walked over to the youngster. "Shall we get some dinner. Yeah?" She asked.

OOC. No-one else knows about Hermione not being able to have kids. It will come out later.

OOC: How many months pregnant is Jade?

Ginny, meanwhile, decided that the best way to get everone settled was to tackle them one by one. She walked over to Jade and said,"Jade, why don't you go sit? It's nearly dinner time, and anyway, you shouldn't be on your feet too long."
