"Besides," Fred took over for his twin, "we're family. And family's forever." Harry actually felt a few tears form in his eyes, hearing that. He had always considered the Weasleys as family – and they might very well become such in a few years – but it wasn't something he had ever put into words. Fred and George were so over the top, so fun-loving, that it was easy to assume that they didn't really do deep. And it touched Harry greatly, to hear that the twins considered him family. Ginny beamed at her older brothers, while Ron just nodded his head in agreement. Susan put an arm around Neville's waist, leaning into her boyfriend as she focused on Harry.

Ron almost growled. "Stupid git," he muttered, shaking his head. Ginny, Fred, and George looked almost as angry. "Percy came by a couple of weeks ago for supper, and ended up getting into a huge argument with dad about Voldemort and Dumbledore. Said dad was only going to drag the whole family down if he kept following the old man's lead," Ginny explained. "What did your dad have to say about that?" Susan asked curiously. She had met Mr. Weasley several times, and knew him to be a calm and collected, jovial and friendly man. George clenched his teeth.
