A/N: Hey guys, this is my second story on FF. These are just one-shots of different moments in the lives of Harry, Ginny, Ron, and Hermione. Please R&R! If you see any mistakes, DO NOT HESITATE to correct me! I LOVE IT when people catch my mistakes, because it means they care! Oh, and sorry this one is short, I couldn't wait to post it, so it might be kind of rushed as well.

A/N2: If you get the chance, check out the first chapter of my other story Americans at Hogwarts, which I am co-writing with a friend. For those who have already read it, I'm waiting for my partner to finish writing his chapter.

Harry/Ginny

"Dear, are you almost ready? James is getting bored waiting around for you to come downstairs," a feminine voice called from the bottom of the steps. Harry chuckled at the thought of little, one-year-old James crawling around on the floor of the sitting room among his buckets of toys, utterly bored.

"I'm almost done, love. Have you seen my other shoe? I can't seem to find it anywhere," he called back downstairs through the open door of their bedroom.

"Ginny sighed from the bottom of the steps and began her ascent towards the upper floor. She walked into the bedroom she shared with her husband to find said husband in the middle of the room surrounded by various pairs of shoes, clutching a shiny black one in his left hand and his holly wand in the other.

"What did you do, Summon the whole closet?" she asked with a smile.

"Um...well…er…yes," he finally admitted, looking quite sheepish by this point. "I only meant to Summon the one shoe, but I guess I'm a bit out of practice. I forgot how specific to be when Summoning objects."

Ginny just laughed at the antics of her husband and managed to quickly Summon the correct shoe. She tossed it to her husband, who could have sworn he heard her mumble something like, "hopelessly lost without me" as she walked back downstairs.

He rolled his eyes and hurriedly placed each shoe on the correct foot before following the red-haired beauty to the sitting room, where James was gnawing on one of his teething rings, looking utterly bored. Harry had to laugh; the look on James' face was exactly the one he had pictured earlier.

He quickly crossed the remaining length of the room and scooped up his son and gently tossed him in the air before saying, "Is my little James excited to be going to the zoo today? I'm sure we'll have lots of fun with the elephants and tigers and…snakes." He shot a glance at his wife, as she too remembered the event involving a very large snake and Harry's cousin Dudley. They both smiled and trained their attention on James, who began to fidget in Harry's arms. "Alright, alright, James. Ginny, do you have his diaper bag?"

Ginny patted the light blue-checkered bag on her shoulder, "Yup. Do you have the keys? We have to pick up Ron and Hermione on the way there."

Harry patted his pocket, "Right here. I still don't see why we can't just Apparate there."

"Because we don't want to attract unwanted attention," she reminded him.

Harry just rolled his eyes and walked over to where she was standing by the door. He stared at her beautiful face for a moment and said, "I do not know how I would have survived all those months of chasing after Horcruxes if I hadn't been thinking of you and your safety practically the whole time. Do you know how many times I thought of you each day? Even on the coldest winter nights, with the snow and sleet pounding against the side of the tent, just the thought of you, warm in my arms, safe from Voldemort, was enough to allow me a night of rest. I love you, Ginny."

Her smile was big enough to power the whole house without magic, "And I love you, too, Harry. I always did and I always will." She stretched up and gently reached her arms around his neck, careful not to hit James, and kissed him full on the lips. It was only about ten seconds, but the love in that kiss was enough to knock the breath out of both of them. Harry decided ten seconds was simply not enough time and pulled her face back to his with his free hand, the one that was not carrying James. He was about to suggest a more comfortable place when he suddenly remembered where they were supposed to be going today. He regretfully pulled away and jerked his head towards the door. Ginny realized that they were supposed to pick up Ron and Hermione and frowned a little. It had been so long since they had had a day to themselves.

Oh well. Sometime soon, I will find someone to watch James and I will chain Harry to the couch if I have to, but we will have a day to ourselves. On the way to the car, she told Harry this and he laughed and said they could just have Mrs. Weasley watch James; she had been hinting at it for quite a while now. Harry buckled up James in the back seat and opened Ginny's door before heading to the driver's side to get in.

They held hands all the way to Ron and Hermione's house, thinking of the times past and the times to come, and smiled.
