Ungodly Porportions
As I sat down next to my boyfriend at the table, I braced myself for questions of ungodly proportions to fly at me.
"So... What house were you in, Norrie?" Charlie asked.
"Slytherin," I murmured.
"I still think that you should have been in Hufflepuff," Fred stated.
"Why? Is it because I spent too much time with Dora?" I grinned.
"Dora? Who is Dora?" Hermione Granger asked me, her bushy brown hair pulled back.
"Nymphadora. She enjoyed being called Tonks."
"How would you spend too much time with her?" Hermione questioned.
"Well she's my first cousin. And I would often go over to her house when Aunt Narcissa and Uncle Lucius were having company over. So, a lot. Not that I minded. I enjoyed Uncle Ted's stories of the muggle news."
"Tonks was your cousin?" Charlie asked.
"Yeah. She was."
"She was my friend. My bestie at Hogwarts," Charlie continued.
"Anyway. Why did you live with Malfoy?" Bill interrogated me.
"Easy. That's because my mother and father were in Azkaban, and because my godmother was Aunt Narcissa. I'm not aloud to say this, but when I was younger, Aunt Cissy would have Draco and I both go over to Aunt Andromeda's. Lucius had no idea. He thought we were going over to the Goyle's house."
"Draco? As in Draco Malfoy?" Harry and Ron asked at the same time.
"Yes," I nodded. I only knew one Draco; it wasn't a very common name. "He is one of my friends, you know."
"But he's so mean... And you're not," Ginny announced.
I nodded, "Yes, but when you grow up with someone your whole life, it's hard not to become friends. Especially when you're family and live together. He's actually a good person, you know. He's just scared of his father. I'm scared of Lucius. Everybody is scared of Lucius."
George kissed my cheek; the tingles remained for a few seconds.
"You're not a Death Eater, are you?" Mr. Weasley pondered.
I hid a snort. Why the hell would I be a Death Eater? I'd be one when Percabeth is broken.
"Of course not. Only when Percabeth is broken."
Ginny's head shot up; as did Hermione's.
"You ship Percabeth?"
"Duh! And they've been engaged since they were twelve! They played Hackey Sack, remember?"
"George, keep Norrie," Ginny quickly said.
"Perchel?"
"EW! No. Percabeth and Caleo forever. I also love Romione and Hinny."
Fred and my boyfriend had the nerve to laugh at my words about Romione and Hinny.
"People ship Ron and I?" Hermione blushed.
Exasperated, Harry rolled his eyes. "Ever since the Yule Ball."
"What's Hinny?" Ron spoke up.
I laughed and hid my face in George's shirt; his chest was moving from laughing.
"Hinny," Fred managed to choke out. "Is Harry and Ginny."
The two went scarlet.
"Since when were you two dating?" Bill asked the said two.
"The middle of my sixth year," Harry piped up.
"But then Harry broke up with me at Dumbledore's funeral. Only because he knew that Voldemort would use me to get to him. And he couldn't afford to loose me," Ginny said as she leaned her head onto the boy's shoulder.
"Hey, it could be worse," Ron defended. "She could be dating McCormick. I hate that guy!"

"Your family seems really nice," I told George.
"Yeah, I'm lucky to have them," he grinned at me.
I smiled back at him. Softly, I told him, "I love your family."
"And I love you."
