All it took was a baby Ginny to fall in love


As soon as they had reached the gargoyle, Harry gave the password. The gargoyle instantly begun to shift to one side, before they stepped onto the steps, as the stairs rotated upwards, and the entrance to the gargoyle closed behind them.

Dumbledore had given Harry the password to his office, as no one ever knew when Harry would need him. Voldemort never made a habit of choosing if and when he mentally attacked Harry, sending him visions of all the vile and inhuman acts against muggles and wizards alike. It paid to be prepared when you were an insane manic mass murders number one target since birth.

When they reached the large oak door, Hermione stepped forwards and knocked. Moments later Dumbledore called out “Enter Mr. Potter, Miss Granger, Mr Weasley and Miss Weasley.”
Ron spluttered “Bloody hell! How does he do that?”

Hermione glared at him and scolded him “Ronald, language, please. And to answer your question, it is the portraits all over the school that are responsible of informing professor Dumbledore of everything that goes on. Plus I also suspect when a new headmaster or mistress is chosen they are bonded to the castle.”

Ron scowled at her, while Harry rolled his eyes in exasperation. He wondered who would make who a widower first once they finally married. Harry guessed it was a given that one of them was going to end up killing the other one of those days.

Harry smiled gently down at Ginny when she giggled. Ron and Hermione turned and ceased their bickering as Harry opened the door, and Professor Dumbledore cleared his throat loudly. He chuckled slightly, his blue eyes twinkling like crazy over his half moon shaped spectacles.

Dumbledore smiled at the sight of Ginny Weasley, being held by Harry. The scene was extremely familiar. He remembered the same thing happening almost twenty years previously. Only instead of Harry and Ginny it had been James and Lily. James had been in Ginny’s place and Lily in Harry’s.

He conjured three chairs and gestured for them to take a seat each. Once they were settled he said “I shall send for Professor McGonagall and Mr and Mrs Weasley. Then I want one of you tell me what happened.”

Hermione spoke up as she handed Malfoy’s wand to Dumbledore “Professor, I managed to summon this away from Malfoy before he could escape. I thought maybe you could determine what curse or spell Malfoy used, then come up with away to change Ginny back.”

Dumbledore took the wand and examined it and exclaimed “Ah Miss Granger, clever and resourceful as usual. Good, this is exactly what I need to determine what Mr. Malfoy has done and originally intended. Also it is much easier for me to help change Miss Weasley back now.”

Dumbledore turned to face Harry, as he noticed out of the corner of his eye, that the over sized robe Ginny was wearing had slipped off of her shoulder, and was proving to be more of a hindrance then it was being of any use.

He pointed his wand at Ginny and transfigured the robe she was wearing into a little robe, make of crème coloured satin. The collar and the sleeves had a light layer of golden lace. And there was a medium sized golden bow in the centre. And to finish tiny matching socks covered Ginny’s little feet.

He sighed in satisfaction and said “Ah excellent, much, much better.” He then turned towards his fire place, as Harry examined Ginny. He chuckled lightly, as he took in the sweet looking little robe and socks. She looked lovely.

Hermione and Ron grinned, knowing if Ginny was her usual self, then she would have been balking at the sight of her current attire.

Dumbledore took some floo powder out of a pot on his desk and threw it into the flames, turning them bright emerald green, as they flared to life. He then called out into the fire “Number Twelve Grimmauld Place.” He then called out “Molly Weasley.”

Less then a minute later, Molly’s head could be seen sticking out of the fire place she said “What can I do for you Albus? Are the children safe, please tell me their not off on one of their adventures again for Merlin sake, the school year has hardly begun as it is?”

Dumbledore chuckled and replied “No Molly, I do not believe your children nor Mr Potter and Miss Granger are on another of their yearly adventures.” Harry, Hermione and Ron flushed at this, while Ginny suckled on her right thumb and played with the clasp on Harry’s school robe with her free hand.

Dumbledore continued “Although yours and Arthur’s presence is required at the school, due to your daughter ending up in an accident. Also I suggest you bring Sirius and Remus with you, as this also concerns Harry as well I’m afraid.”

Molly started to panic and said on the verge of sudden hysteria “My baby, what has happened to my little girl?” Dumbledore replied “She is unharmed. But I’m afraid she has gone under a very vast transformation.”

He added calmly “Please try not to panic, she is in no immediate danger, and she is safe I promise. Now, you, Arthur, Sirius and Remus get here as quickly as possible, as there are important things we must discuss.”

Molly didn’t answer him; her head had disappeared before he could utter another word. He sighed and gathered some more floo powder and threw it into the fire, the flames turned emerald once more and flared to life. He called out “The transfiguration room, Minerva McGonagall.”

Moments later the head of Minerva McGonagall appeared in the fire. She called out “Albus?” Dumbledore said before she could utter another word. “Minerva my dear, I need you to come to my office immediately, as your presence is urgently required here.”

Minerva suddenly looked more alert before she nodded and replied “Very well Albus, I’m coming through now.” And with that her head disappeared, and moments later her head followed by her full body emerged from the flames. She sighed as she dusted herself off.

She looked around her and gasped placing a hand over her mouth in astonished horror, as she took in the sight of the curly auburn haired toddler in Harry’s arms. She startled slightly, as moments later the fire flared to life behind her.

She turned to see a frantic Molly Weasley coming bounding out of the fire place. Molly practically shrieked as she took in the sight of the auburn haired child in Harry’s arms. She would know that child anywhere; she gave birth to and raised the child in question.

She sobbed as she rushed over to Harry and exclaimed “”OH! MY BABY GIRL WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO YOU?!” She immediately took Ginny from Harry before they could stop her.

Harry, Hermione and Ron called out in alarm as Ginny started wailing and violently struggling in her mother’s arms and held out her arms pleadingly to Harry. “DON’T, GIVE HER BACK!”

Molly frowned and said sternly “I most certainly will not. She is my daughter and I above all know what is best for her.” Hermione shook her head and told her pleadingly “No, Mrs. Weasley you don’t understand, only Harry can hold Ginny without her screaming hysterically. No one else has been able to touch her. I think it might have something to do with the curse or spell Malfoy cast.”

Molly suddenly went ridged before sobbing and reluctantly passing her back to Harry. Harry started to gently stroke Ginny’s curls and whisper soothingly into her little ear as she clung desperately to him. Within moments she calmed down enough that only the occasional sniffle and hiccup was heard. Harry sighed in relief, tenderly wiping away the tears that had fallen.

Arthur, Sirius and Remus had entered just as Ginny had gone hysterical when Molly had removed her from Harry’s arms. The three men had watched in worry as well as awe, as they took in the sight of Harry gently soothing the little girl in his arms, until she merely sniffled or hiccupped. Then they watched in amazement when he tenderly wiped away her tears.

Dumbledore sighed wearily before conjuring five other chairs. He then gestured to the others to take a seat. It was then Arthur asked “What on earth is going on Albus?” Dumbledore replied “I’m sure Harry and the others can tell you all that happened.”

The others turned to face the three teens and the little girl. The teens in question swallowed nervously as the attention of all the adults were on them.
