Molly stepped into the office and grabbed Harry in a bear hug that almost crushed his ribs, "What were you thinking. Going off like that, you had us worried half to death. " By this time the rest of the Weasleys had arrived.

When she let go and Harry could breathe again he said, "I know I was wrong but let me tell you what I was thinking. I was blaming myself for all the deaths during the battle and I thought that you wouldn't want me around because I let Fred die."

Molly glared at him, "We don't blame you Harry. It was the death eaters and Voldemort's fault not yours. Surely you know we love you as one of our own."

It was Harry's turn to hug her, "I know that now Mum, I was just really confused."

Everyone had sat in a chair in the Headmistresses office. When Harry let Molly go he sat by Ginny and Molly sat by Arthur she was dabbing her eyes because Harry had called her Mum.

Minerva said, "Harry returned this morning and we are stating the reasons he just gave you as the only reason he was gone. While they are the reasons he wanted to go away, he didn't leave of his own accord." She indicated for Harry to start.

Harry said, "When Ron, Hermione and I left the Great Hall we came to this office. I talked with Professor Dumbledore's portrait for a bit then we left. Hermione and Ron went back to the Great Hall, I went to our dorm. All the way back I was thinking about it being all my fault and that none of you would probably want me around. I thought it would be best to disappear for a while, but I was going to tell Ron, Hermione and Ginny where I was going. During my nap something happened and I woke up in my dorm but during a different year."

Percy said, "How could you time travel in your sleep?"

Harry said, "Don't know. I'm not sure I had any control whatsoever. I woke up to someone poking me and it turned out to be my Dad."

Molly gasps, "What year?"

Harry said, "Fall of 1978, they were in their seventh year. I got to spend three days with them. I also met Neville's parents. It was a great experience, getting to know my Mum and Dad was brilliant."

Arthur said, "Did you just dream it but stay somewhere here in the castle?"

Minerva said, "No, I remember him showing up. Remus came to get me saying they had something in the dorm that Albus would have to fix. We got there and Harry was sitting on the bed. I also remember him being quite cheeky in my class."

Neville, Ron, Hermione and Ginny chuckled, they knew what she meant because they had seen the memory in the pensieve.

Minerva continued, "The DADA Professor that year was an Auror. Harry impressed him with his knowledge and power. He brought Lily and James together. And he fought Voldemort."

Bill said, "You fought Voldemort there? Why didn't you kill him there?"

Harry said, "I couldn't."

Ron said, "Bill this has to do with the assignment Professor Dumbledore left with us. He couldn't have accomplished it there."

Bill argued, "This doesn't make sense. You accomplished the assignment. Harry got stronger and could stop Voldemort."

Hermione said, "Getting Harry stronger wasn't the assignment, that was a side effect."

Harry said, "I'll tell you about the assignment but it can't leave this room." Everyone agreed and Harry told them about the Horcruxes and everything they had done in the last year and what happened when he visited past. Harry finished with, "I'm just glad that Sirius and Remus understood and weren't mad at me."

Arthur said, "I'm not sure I could have done what you all did. Ron, I couldn't be prouder of you."

Ron said, "But Dad, I left them on their own. How can you be proud of that?"

Arthur grinned, "You went back."

Harry said, "I keep telling you Ron. He gave you that in case we got separated, he knew you would get us all back together."

Ron said, "He knew I'd be a baby and walk out."

Albus' portrait said, "Ron, I knew this year would be hard on your friendships as well as your bodies. When friends are together constantly they will bicker no matter how much they care for each other. You have the heart to reach out to the others. You are the only one with experience in family relationships, that's why I gave it to you. Hermione and Harry are good friends but they never had the siblings to fight and make up with. It doesn't matter who's right or wrong families stay together and work it out."

Ron said, "But I forgot it for a while."

Percy said, "We all do occasionally, at least you figured it out right away. It took me three years to remember it."

Harry whispered to Ginny, "Do they know about us?"

Ginny replied, "Not Charlie or Percy but the rest do, why."

Harry said, "I don't know about wizard culture, but in muggle culture its proper to ask the father if you can marry the girl."

Ginny grinned, "It's not but I know Dad would think it's great, you going to do it now with my brothers here?"

Harry said, "You ok with that?" Ginny nodded so Harry turned to Mr. Weasley and wait for the conversation to end, "Mr. Weasley?"

Arthur said, "Harry, you don't have to call me Mr. Weasley all the time. Arthur will do."

Harry said, "Do you know much about Muggle traditions?" Arthur shook his head and Harry continued, "When a guy wants to get married he has to ask the girl's father for permission."

Arthur grimaced, "I would have hated to do that. Good thing for you Wizards don't go with that tradition."

Harry smiled, "I know but, I want to marry Ginny. We don't plan on getting married for at least a year. I love her and she is the only reason I'm alive. When I died I only came back because she was still here. I would like your permission and Mrs. Weasley's to ask Ginny to marry me."

Arthur leaned toward Molly and they discussed it for a moment. He turned back to Harry and said, "On one condition, no more Mr. and Mrs. Weasley."

Harry said, "How about Mum and Dad?" Arthur and Molly smiled and nodded.

Charlie said, "Wait, so you're engaged now?"

Harry said, "No I just have permission to get engaged. First I need to get a ring and then ask her properly."

Bill ask, "If you don't mind me asking, when did you know you wanted to marry Ginny?"

Harry said, "Last summer on my birthday."

Ron said, "But… you had only been together for a month. And then you broke up with her."

Harry said, "I've liked Ginny since fifth year. I didn't realize it until the beginning of sixth year. By then she was going out with Dean and I couldn't do anything about it."
