[Delivery: Harry P.]

[Left on his bed are a handful of Chocolate Frog packages. A piece of paper is on top of them that just has a smiley face and a G.]

[Quicklog: James P./Ginny W.]

[Ginny had really been kidding about the whole "special privileges" thing. Mainly, she had said it to get a rise out of everyone. Hopefully, James understood that--but she planned to explain it either way.

Some of the Honeydukes candies she had bought with Neville were tossed onto the table beside her as she flopped into an arm chair, sitting sideways in it with legs dangling over one of its arms. Idly, she shuffles through a pack of Exploding Snap cards while she waits.]

[He knew the name from Harry partly, but mostly from the books he'd been plucking from the Library that contained back issues of The Daily Prophet bound together.] Beetle. That does fit, doesn't it? She always had that look about her. Very... beetley. [James was a master of wit. He grinned.

His eyebrows lifted with hers.] It's the truth. Very majestic. Envision it now—a fiery red weasel, perhaps with a touch of fur thinning from the crown of its kingly skull, loping with grace through the underbrush of the Forest. [He pretend to wipe a tear from his eye.] So beautiful. I only wish I were half as noble as that.

	[Her voice was very casual, conversational, as she picked off an invisible piece of lint from her clothing.] I rather think she looks like a chicken, myself. [And hiding the grin. Ginny gasped and slapped a hand over her mouth.] That's awful. [Awful, although she was amused despite herself, and not doing the best job at hiding it.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[He had to laugh at that. James wasn't quiet about it either. A chicken. The Rita he knew of was a bit heavy in the jaw with hair a beaten blond and a lot of rhinestones charmed onto otherwise unadorned things—glasses, for instance.] No. Her nails—they very long. Not at all like the chickens I've seen, who prefer the trim look.

[He gave the youngest Weasley a his best winning Potter smile.] As I said, it's the truth.

But the face-- [Ginny mimed with her hands, then scrunched her nose and lips close together in imitation.

The joke started about his fellow future father-in-law, but she was not Ron and thought about her words before they came tumbling out of her mouth. Somehow, she wasn't sure that would be taken well, all things considered. Instead, she cleared her throat.] Dad would have a good sense of humor about it. [And she paused, wondering again if any family were here.]

[Wow, I made a lot of typos. :( Sorry.]

[James' grin brightened at Ginny's pantomime.] Maybe she looks different now. I can't say I've been seeking her columns out, truthfully.

[Being as good-humored as he was, and knowing Arthur as he did, the elder Potter didn't think about anything he said lending itself to offense. It was all fun, bit of elbowing and laughing, but nothing meant with any malice. But James didn't have time to agree with the girl, catching as he did that fleeting look on her face the bespoke to worry and wonder—was she alone? (Because, although he could be quite oblivious, James was not insensitive to others.)

The boy shifted on the chair, slumping a bit lower.] There are a couple other Weasleys, you know.

	[oops you didn't see that] You are not missing much. She's not been writing much these days. [That would likely change. But, really, he wouldn't be missing much even if she were writing. She stretched her arms above her head.] Harry mentioned one in Slytherin. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[See what? :) ] [James nodded.] She's French. Your brother's, I believe. Victoire. [He exaggerated the accent, but smiled sweetly.] And you have three. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[There wasn't much surprise there.] Bill and Fleur's, then. [That isn't a huge surprise. Bill was entering Hogwarts while she was still in diapers. Her kids, though? That makes her give a short, weak laugh and rub her face. The joke comes easily enough.] Don't suppose you know what it's like to find out you have a kid, then? [Three?] Are the other Weasleys [...] mine?

	[He fished the cards out of his pockets and tossed them back at Ginny carelessly. James sat back again and ran a hand through his hair.] Not me, no. Harry Potter—the name's a coincidence. [He laughed.] Oh, the ones here? No. I think one's your brother's—Ron's. Thought I have been informed you have a son named after me who is quite precious. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[She made a grab for them, but she wasn't able to get all of them. Not a huge issue. A wave of her wand in a silent summoning charm gathered all of them back into her hand.] I thought as much. Potter is such a common surname and all. [Ron's kid? Her eyebrows lifted. Please tell her the kid was Hermione's and not someone like Lavender Brown. She snorted a bit.] Oh, do I? [That wasn't all that surprising, really. Wizarding convention to name children for family and all--and, really, she couldn't see herself telling Harry no if he wanted to name children after his parents.

Although the idea of them procreating when they were still trying their hand at dating again made her a little--well, it was a lot to think about. She passed a hand in front of her face in an attempt to conceal the fact that her face was starting to match her hair.] How d'you know about this? [It was curious, not accusing.] Did...Ron and Bill's kids tell you?
