October 7th 2001

Knocks could be heard in the living room of the Burrow, not a surprise for the four Gryffindors, they were waiting for someone.

"Oh Jane, is so nice to see you, come in, come in. Did u have dinner already? Please tell me you haven't, i made more then usual thinking about how famish u are all the time." Wasn't Ms.Weasley so sweet now? The experience of loosing a child and having her daughter threatened by Bellatrix Lestrange made her so much nicer if that was possible.

"I haven't ate a crumb all day Ms.Weasley, you are a blessing, i'd love to have a dinner made by you." And Jane was always so accommodating with words, it was true she hadn't eat all day, her job was pretty intense and for a former Ravenclaw she was smart as much as she was slow, and she was really slow at working.

"Come on mom, leave her space to breath." A voice made his way from behind Molly, he put a hand on her mother's shoulder hinting her to take at least a step back to clear the young woman view of the inside of the house. Ron was standing there an amused smile across his face, with Hermione at his side and Harry and Ginny further back. The four people who sent her a letter about an important matter they needed to discuss with her. Jane wasn't scared, she was riding a wave of positive thinking after the war, trying to always see the best part of things.

But she was worried for sure, she went three years being less and less in contact with her friend group, she was just like that, it didn't mean she didn't care, she just felt the need to focus more on herself and her life now that she was alone.

Jane walked forward and hugged each one of them, squishing them a little, but that's how she liked to show people how much she cared.

"Is been three years you all seem roughed up." Jokes were always a good ice breaker and Jane loved to make them as much as everyone in that house liked to laugh at them.

"You look bad yourself, work is really weighting on you isn't it?" Asked Hermione with the widest smile possible, she was the reason why you were a part of this friend group to begin with, her and Luna Lovegood begged you in 5th year to join Dumbledor's army, and that was the kick that started their friendship.

"Making fun now? Let's see in a few month" Jane smiled widely, she received a letter a month ago about Hermione's first pregnancy, she was thrilled to be back and gossip a little with Her and Ginny. "But i'm not the only one." smirked Hermione stepping aside

"Surprise." said Ginny stepping forward from hiding behind Harry. Shock was written all over Jane's face, along with excitement, Ginny never told her she was pregnant too. "You sneaky! Again? Why didn't u tell me? You two are having a baby around the same time? is this the reason i'm here?" Asked the former Ravenclaw student, sadly she missed the point by a lot, the smiles on the four people fell for a split second but thankfully Harry spoke, not wanting to let such a happy moment fall into a sad memory.

"That's one of the reasons i guess yes." He laughed a little awkwardly, looking at his first son sleeping on the sofa with a warm blanket on.

"But lets eat first yeah? James already ate but we waited for you. I bet you are starving, apparating always makes me hungry too." Harry moved his hand in a welcoming way, directing the guest's eyesight to the table, and Ms.Weasley jumped straight into the conversation.

"Yes, yes, let's eat before it cools down, we always have magic to re-heat the food but the first time always tastes better. Come, come, give me your jacket, scarf and hat." she said with all the energy and excitement of a teenager. Molly was always like that when kids other then her own were around. She hung the clothes beside the door, almost getting hit by it while passing by.

If Ms.Weasley was a sprout of energy only at times, her Husband was for sure a bright star of positivity, that could be seen even during the day.

"I'm homeee" proclaimed Arthur, apologizing right away to Molly for almost hitting her.

"Jane! there you are girl, is been three years and u still haven't told me what does a plunger do." He said while giving me a hug and ruffling my hair a little.

"I'm pretty sure Harry has satiated your interest for muggle objects by now." She giggled while Molly helped her husband out of his jacket and all.

With all the chattering and jokes the seven adults inside the Burrow managed to sit down and start dinner. Jane asked a lot of stuff, wanting to be up to date, being a little isolated in the southern part of Europe.

"So Jane, tell us, how is France? and Switzerland? Did u go to Italy for a while? i want to know everything about those places and how wizard act there." It was Arthur's habit to start conversation, and asking questions. Jane was happy to reply with all she learned in this new places, but the time of truth was coming and after she answered trying to tell everything in detail Hermione spook up.

"So u must be wondering why we asked you to come visit in such a hurry." she said while Molly brought ice cream and coffee on the table.

"I am. For how much i love being here and seeing u all again i can guess that a gathering to talk about updates in life wasn't the main reason for me coming here today." She was smart but at the same time it wasn't that hard to see, something was bothering everyone even if they didn't want to show it.

"It's about Teddy."
