Yesss Linny that’s my jam. (Also this turned out longer than a drabble it’s like 1k words oops sorry not sorry.)
Prompt: “Hey! I was gonna eat that!” Based off of this post.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ginny was forcefully awoken when she felt a finger jab into her eyeball. She groaned in frustration and pain, turning to bury her head in a pillow. However, the finger did not let up, continuing to poke the rest of her exposed body until she whipped her head out of the pillow to stare at the person attached to it.
“Oh good, you’re up! The shaking and yelling weren’t working very well, so I thought I’d try poking!” her girlfriend Luna said, a proud smile on her face from finally being able to wake her up. “Now c’mon, we gotta get ready!”
Ginny furrowed her eyebrows in confusion. Her groggy brain couldn’t handle this much in the first 15 seconds of waking up. Back when she was living with the rest of her brothers the short time she had after waking up where they didn’t know she was awake and therefore didn’t bother her was bliss.
“Get ready for what?” she asked after her brain finally processed the words that had come out of her girlfriend’s mouth.
“Don’t you remember? Harry, Ron, and Hermione all had to go to Hogwarts to give the kids some motivational speech, and Draco’s at tea with his mom, so we get to take care of Teddy for the day!”
“Oh yeah,” Ginny said, just now recalling that conversation she had had over the phone with Hermione a few days ago. It’s a good thing Luna remembered things much better than her. “When’re they dropping him off?”
“Should be any time now! C’mon, we gotta get dressed! And don’t worry, I already made your coffee!” Luna reached behind her and grabbed Ginny’s favorite mug off of her nightstand, casting a quick reheat charm before handing it to her.
“Thanks, Luna,” Ginny said appreciatively, taking a sip of her coffee. She was able to take a few more sips until Luna finally got impatient enough and pulled her out of bed.
Reluctantly she followed and allowed Luna to lead her to the kitchen, where she had apparently already made Ginny a bowl of cereal. She took a seat and began to eat as Luna excitedly paced the kitchen.
“Sweetheart, relax,” Ginny said, smiling fondly.
“But I’m so excited Ginny, I can’t help it! I love kids!” Luna said, now bouncing a bit.
As if on cue, the doorbell rang throughout their house. Luna whipped her head so fast Ginny was scared she would break her neck. She hurried over and opened the door as Ginny slowly came up behind her.
“Hey guys,” Ginny said, smiling at Ron and Hermione while Luna beamed down at Teddy.
“Hey, thanks again for taking him,” Hermione said. “Molly and Arthur would have but they’re visiting Charlie and it was very last minute.”
“Of course,” Ginny said. “We’re happy to watch him.”
“Alright, well we’ve got to rush babe,” Ron said, glancing at his watch. “Go on in, Teddy. Bye Gin.”
“See you later,” she waved. Teddy stepped inside and stared down at the ground shyly. He was only six and didn’t hang out with Ginny and Luna much, so this was understandable. Luna, however, did not seem discouraged by Teddy’s reluctance to face them.
“Hi, Teddy!” she said brightly. “What would you like to do today?”
He looked up slightly and shrugged.
“Well, we could go to the park, the zoo, or something like that,” she suggested. He shook his head.
“What about baking?” At this he perked up, nodding his head quickly.
“You like to bake?” Luna smiled. “Me too! What do you wanna bake?”
“Cookies!” he said, warming up to Luna. “Chocolate chip kind!”
“Can we, Ginny?” Luna pleaded, looking over at her girlfriend.
Ginny laughed. “Sure we can!”
So she and Luna got out all the ingredients and supplies and set everything up. Ginny found a basic chocolate chip cookie recipe and they all got to work.
Teddy was in charge of pouring everything in after either Luna or Ginny measured it out, and he was quite proud of himself when he successfully cracked both eggs with no shells. After everything was mixed together (also done by Teddy), they all helped form balls out of the dough and Ginny put them in the oven.
Ginny went to make a pot of tea while Luna and Teddy sat in front of the oven together to watch the cookies bake. She smiled to herself as the whispered together, only interrupting their conversation to hand Luna her mug.
When the cookies were done baking it was Ginny who took them out, reminding the other two that they had to wait for them to cool. Apparently watching cookies cool was not nearly as fun as watching them bake, so Teddy suggested they go watch a movie.
About 20 minutes into the movie Ginny deemed the cookies cool enough, and they all went into the kitchen to grab one. Immediately Ginny went to grab the one with the most chocolate chips, but Luna snatched it first.
“Hey! I was gonna eat that!” she said, glaring at Luna, who shrugged playfully while sneakily handing the cookie to Teddy and grabbing another.
Ginny smiled and grabbed another one, and they went back in to watch the rest of the movie. Then it began to rain, so they all pulled out some blankets and hot chocolate and ate through half the batch while having a movie marathon. Ginny and Luna were cuddled together on the couch while Teddy sat atop a pile of pillows.
A few hours later the doorbell rang yet again. This time it was Harry, who walked right in, knowing Ginny and Luna wouldn’t mind.
“Harry!” Teddy said, shooting up from his pile of pillows to attack Harry with a hug. “We baked cookies!”
“Did you?” Harry asked, smiling down at Teddy. “That sounds awesome! Did you have fun?”
“Uh huh! Can I come back again?”
“I’m sure that can be arranged.” He looked up and smiled at Luna and Ginny. “Thanks again, guys.”
“Of course,” Ginny said. “We’re happy to have him, and Teddy’s welcome back whenever he wants.”
“Alright well we’ve gotta go, Draco’s back from tea with his mother and I’m sure he’s gonna wanna talk about it. Say bye, Teddy!”
The boy waved goodbye as they walked out of Ginny and Luna’s house. When the door shut behind them, Luna cuddled in closer to Ginny’s side.
“Hey Gin?”
“Yes, love?” Ginny asked.
“I think I might wanna kid someday.”
Ginny was taken aback slightly, and she thought for a moment before responding. “You know what, I think I might want that, too.”
