I see it like this. Lily was already pregnant with her second
child (it is slightly over a year between Harry and Ginny so it
is biologically possible), when they found out about the Prophecy
and need to hide. They've agreed to hide Ginny with Weasleys'
(no, sorry, their anti-girl-curse, if there was a one, has not
been broken then, and yes it helped Ginny was a natural redhead
after her mother), which they did slightly after her postpartum
period (that is after September 22nd). All Weasley boys were
memory charmed to have included their Mum being pregnant again
(which, frankly, was not that difficult charm to make, because
everybody remembers her being pregnant all the time ;)). Then
Potters started to work on preparing place for Harry with
Dursleys, but they have never managed to finish it and they never
told Vernon & Petunia, before they were killed on October 31st.
Which was the reason why Dumbledore put Harry with Dursleys (he
actually never really understood the mechanics of those blood
wards, because they were Lilly's unfinished invention, or
something).
These two will find out only when told in Harry's fifth or sixth
year by Dumbledore, who sees a danger of upcoming incest.
Now, it gives us a nice setup for non-Hinny ship which doesn't
need anybody's bashing. Or even Ron/Ginny ship, if anybody cares
about that (but that's not probable, due to the `Westermarck
effect`_).
What do you think? Is there such a fic based on something
similar?
