Acceptance

There was a stunned silence. "Wait what!" exclaimed Ron, breaking the silence. "Your middle name is Severus, as in SNAPE! harry were you drunk or something!" he said. "I probably was" muttered harry, who couldn't believe that he named his future son after his most hated future.

Al got nervous and looked at the floor, unable to meet their gaze. James came to his rescue. "Oi! what's with the comments?" James questioned. "And also if you are trying to whisper, then at least do it properly, i can hear y'all from all the way here!" exclaimed Freddie, sticking up for his brother.

Almost all the time travelers starting glaring at the children. Al smiled at his cousins and was happy that they were sticking up for him. After the glaring match was over, Roxy decided to take a calmer approach. "I get it that you must be, er...surprised at uncle Harry's choice of name, but there are a few events that occur in the future that make you take this decision" she said.

Everyone were silent for a while. "Alright then, what abut Malfoy" asked Ron, indicating to Aquila. Roxy opened her mouth to answer but Louis beat her to it.

"Look I dont care what y'all think, Aquila is not evil or cruel or spoiled, Merlin she is not even in Slytherin! I get that her dad was an arch enemy of y'all but Mr. Malfoy changes in the future and you guys even become friends! So if any of you have a problem with Aquila, then you better deal with it" he said. 

 Everyone were stunned after Louis's speech. Aquila blushed beetroot red. Dom noticed this and nudged Aquila's shoulder, teasingly. "Well i guess Louis has made it clear that she can be trusted" said Bill. "I guess so, But i still think your father is a douchebag" said Ron. Aquila let out a laugh as Molly sharply inhaled. 

"Language!"

"Alright kids back to cleaning" said Arthur. all the kids and time travelers groaned. "I dont wanna go back to cleaning!" complained Freddie. "Well then you shouldn't have done that prank" said Remus. "I second that" said Sirius, talking another look at how horrendous his living room looked.  Then suddenly he let out a laugh. "What?" asked Remus. "Imagine my darling mother's reaction at how this room looked, Honestly! At this rate, i am tempted to get her portrait and hang it in this very room "he said chuckling,That earned a smile from almost everyone.

"Do I 'ave to work?" asked little Celine. Moly cooed at her. "No darling!" she said sweetly. "Why doesn't she have to work?" whined James. "That's because she is four years old" said tonks. "No fair, I wish I was four years old again" James complained. "You don't need to wish that, 'cause you are already nailing it with all that whining" remarked Aquila sassily. Everyone laughed as James scowled. 

"You know, I don't think you are that bad" said Ron suddenly. "Good you think so, 'cause if you like me, then you will definitely like my brother" Aquila smirked. "Why will I have to like your brother?" asked Ron cluelessly. "Maybe because he is your daughter's secret boyfriend?" suggested Aquila, Who had a huge grin plastered on her face. "Oh Okay...Wait WHAT?" screeched Ron.

"Oi! we would appreciate it if you would keep stop shouting down there" screamed tonks, from upstairs. "Here Ginny, some extra cleaning supplies" said harry, handing her the cloth and bottles. "Thanks Harry" said Ginny. Suddenly something dropped from her hand. Ginny bent to pick it up and saw that it was a note from Harry.

'Meet me in the attic, at midnight'

'Why does he want me to meet him in the attic at midnight?' wondered Ginny. Ginny sent a questioning gaze towards Harry, who brushed it off and ignored her. 'Oh well, only one way to find out' she thought.

........................................................................................................................

Harry was waiting anxiously in the attic. He wondered if she would even bother coming, considering that she had a boyfriend. But Harry was her crush and future husband, so it was likely she would come. Suddenly the door creaked open, revealing it to be Ginny. "Hey Ginny" he whispered. "Hey yourself" she whispered back. There was a moment of awkward silence between them before they started to speak together.

"So..."

"So..."

They both froze, and then chuckled. "You go first" said Ginny. "Alright, well  wanted to say that i called you up here to talk to you" he said. "Okay, what did you want to talk to me about" relied Ginny, inching closer to him. "Well, for starters, about the fact that we are going to be married in the future" he said. Ginny backed away from him and frowned.

"Di-Did-Did I-I say somethi...Ginny wait!" Harry called out as Ginny got up and stared to leave. he held her wrist and stopped her from leaving. "So many years" she muttered. "I liked you for so many years" se said, more clearly.

"But after all, It was only a silly crush, Little did i know i would be one of the lucky few girls who get to marry their childhood crush" she said. "Ginny-". "Harry don't she said, firmly holding his hand. "Just don't. They stood there for a while, not knowing what to do, or what to say. "I know you like Cho Chang" she bluttered out. 

"oh" was all that harry said. "So if you don't like me, then I get that, I mean, why would you even like pathetic little Ginny, when you can have Cho, I mean I am only your best friends sister" she rambled. "So you don't have to marry me" concluded Ginny. She then removed her hand from my grasp and motioned towards the door.

"Ginny wait!" Called out Harry. "What?" She asked, esparated. "It is true that I like Cho, well she is pretty, but I like you more" he said. "Harry you don't have to like me just because we will get married in the future" Ginny assured.

"No, I actually like you in the beginning, the way you ran away when I said hi, or you would blush when I wod call your name, I liked spending time with you in the common room, your jokes, your laugh, your beautiful personality, I fell in love with it" he said softly, pushing aside a stand of hair from Ginny's face.

"I hadn't realised this until now" he admitted. "The way you looked at me when Mrs. Weasley was hugging me, you looked at me as if I was forced to marry someone worthless and I couldn't believe you thought like that about yourself" he said. "You are more than Ron's little sister, you are cool, kind, funny, sarcastic and so fun to be around, always remember that" said Harry, cupping her face in his hands.

Ginny was speechless. No one ever acknowledged her like this. Slowly, her face broke into a wide smile and she leaped and hugged Harry. "I was so nervous, I thought you were disgusted by me!" She said. "No way" said Harry. Ginny was very Happy. Harry liked her, and accepted her.

She was on cloud nine. Both the teenagers walked out of the room, content.
