Why do oyu think Ginny will be a nag?
Maybe it's just being a a teenager, but I've rarely seen anyone grow out of being self-absorbed. She irks me.
Lorne: Take care of yourself and ah, make sure fluffy is getting enough love. Gunn: Did he have anything? Fred: No. And who's fluffy? Are you fluffy? Gunn: He called me fluffy? Fred: He said make sure…wait. You don't think he was referring to anything of mine that's fluffy, do you? Because that would just be inappropriate.

I just love the Weasley's to pieces. They were, hands down, my favorite part of the whole series. Maybe in part because they reminded me of my mom's family a bit (who I grew up in the middle of, my mom is the oldest of 7 and my younger uncle is only 7 years older than me).

Me too. They seem like a very real, well-drawn family.
My complaint about Ginny is than she's never really more that a romantic foil for Harry. She's one of the more one-dimensional characters in the books.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
But ALL teenagers are self-absorbed. I say this with all love for them as a former teacher, but, they are all off in their own universes for a while.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
One of my favorite Ginny moments was when she and Harry had their little talk over Easter Eggs in the library in OotP. She drew him out about his brooding over Sirius and then offered to help him--that didn't strike me as self-absorbed.

Merlin had kids?
Not that I've found explicitly stated, no. He was imprisoned in an invisible tower by Viviane (the Lady in the Lake). She did it out of crazy stalkerish love, so...
You know. He coulda t'rown a fuckin' on her.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

That's what I love about you, MM. You're a romantic. (:

You could definitely fanfic or midrash Merlin/Viviane. I'm trying to remember if there was anything in Mary Stewart's Merlin Trilogy (I know, I know, not the definitive source on Merlin, but if he got busy with someone it would be in a Mary Stewart book).
There's Nimue, who was his apprentice and may have entombed him in the Crystal Cave. And there's Nimue who shut the bard Taleisin (Merlin's mentor, occasionally) in a tree...those stories always seem like the guy and Nimue had something going on.
How would the surname Weasley come about from Arthurian decendence?

Possibly Merlin practiced droit de signeur with an innocent farm girl who later married a Weasley?
