The Heir: After The Battle
As Harry walked across what used to be the beautiful Hogwarts grounds turned battleground all was quiet. The battle was now over but something caught Harry's eye just to his left. When he turned he seen his best friends little sister dueling with a lone death eater whom he quickly recognized as Lucius Malfoy. Harry watched helpless as a killing curse flew toward her, then out of nowhere Draco Malfoy jumped in and took the curse for her. Which gave Harry the chance to kill Lucius before he could attack again and he rushed over to Ginny to treat her injuries from the battle.
"Gin are you okay?" Harry asked concern evident in his voice.
"Yeah I think so Harry." she said then slapped him across the face.
"Gin wha?" she slapped him again and he started to cry and just walked away from her without finding out why she hit him. As he walked into the great hall he was greeted by cheers. He ignored everyone and walked over to Ron, Hermione and the rest of the Weasleys.
"Ron tell Ginny I'm sorry for whatever I did, I was just trying to help her." Harry said pain evident in his voice and tears still streaming down his face. "I'm going to the Hospital Wing to get looked at."
"Yeah sure I can Harry." Ron said and turned back to the family wondering what happened with Harry and Ginny. However they were about to find out as Ginny walked into the room and sat next to Ron.
"Ginny what the bloody hell did you do to Harry?"
"What are you talking about Ron?"
"He came in crying, told me to apologize to you for him and he left for the hospital wing, he doesn't understand what he did wrong to deserve whatever you did to him." Ron told her and turned away and missed her turn the classic Weasley red and she got up and started towards the Hospital Wing, when she got there she quickly found Harry's bed walked over and punched him in the nose and started to walk out.
"MS. WEASLEY! WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS!" Madam Pomfrey screeched pointing at her patient who was sitting up on his bed clutching his nose while blood was squirting from between his hands. She ignored her and walked out of the hospital wing leaving a bloodied Harry, a pissed off Madam Pomfrey and a broken hearted Harry to top it all off. She didn't notice Madam Pomfrey follow her out and head in the opposite direction of her towards the great hall to find her family.
"Mrs. Weasley I don't know what your daughters problem is but she just walked up to the hospital wing and punched Mr. Potter in the nose and left. Last I seen her she was headig towards Gryffindor Tower. I think you need to talk to her." Madam Pomfrey said and stalked off back to the hospital wing to look after her patients while Molly stormed off afer Ginny when she reached Gryffindor Tower she shouted at the fat lady until she let her into the common room. She quickly found Ginny and went on the rampage.
"GINEVRA MOLLY WEASLEY WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING!?"
"Wha?"
"YOU GO AROUND SMACKING HARRY FOR NO REASON ESPECIALLY WHEN HE JUST SAVED YOUR LIFE! THEN YOU GO TO THE HOSPITAL WING AND PUNCH HIM! WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM YOUNG LADY! DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH YOU HURT HIM! HE WAS CRYING WHEN HE CAME TO FIND US IN THE GREAT HALL AND TOLD RON SOMETHING! YOU REALLY HURT HIM GINEVRA! I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOUR PROBLEM IS BUT YOU NEED TO TALK TO HARRY ABOUT IT NOT RUN AROUND HITTING THE POOR BOY! WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING!?" Molly screeched at her.
"Mum... he scared me when Hagrid came out carrying his body, I was mad at him and freaked out. I was mad because he promised me he would come back to me after Voldemort was dead mum, I was afraid he wasn't coming back." Ginny told her and started to cry as she realized what she had done. She walked out of the common room and up to the Hospital Wing and found Harry's bed, when he seen who it was he curled up into a ball and turned his back on her so she couldn't see him crying and so she couldn't hit him again.
"Harry?"
"Leave me alone, I know you just came up here to hit me again so just leave." Harry told her and continued to ignore her as she tried to talk to him.
"Would you just leave me alone already! You don't want to bother with me why should I bother with you!?" Harry shouted and Ginny got up and walked out of the room with tears in her eyes. Harry laid there and went to sleep since he was so exhausted. However after what seemed like a few minutes Mrs. Weasley came in and began berating him for yelling at Ginny.
"Harry you scared her to death when Hagrid came out carrying your lifeless body, she thought you were dead and that you broke your promise of returning to her once Voldemort was dead. I know it gave her no reason to hit you like she did but she really wants you to talk to her and she wants you to be her boyfriend again. Harry please talk to her." Mrs. Weasley said with a pleading voice.
"Fine but if she hits me again she can forget about it." Harry told her and she sent Ginny in.
"Harry, I-I'm sorry I hit you, I was scared when Hagrid carried out your body I just didn't think I could stand it if you didn't come back and we didn't get the chance to get back together or possibly get married some day, Harry I'm sorry, please forgive me." Harry didn't say anything for a while debating on what he wanted to do then he took Ginny by surprise and pulled her down to him by her shirt and kissed her on the lips.
"I love you Gin Gin." Harry whispered in her ear causing her to giggle and nuzzle and kiss his neck.
"I love you too Harry, just never scare me like that again." she said and swatted his chest playfully causing him to wince a little bit. "Sorry Harry." she said and kissed the spot where she had just hit him. Ginny fell asleep with her head on his chest. Mrs. Weasley walked into the Hospital Wing to find Ginny curled up on harry sleeping like a baby.
"Ginny, Harry time to wake up, we're going to the Burrow." she said gently shaking Ginny's shoulder and when she was awake and up she proceeded to wake Harry up by gently kissing him all over his face.
"Mmmmm, Gin that feels good don' stop." Harry mumbled and hugged Mrs. Weasley closer.
"Um Harry, that's my mum not me." with that Harry jerked awake and let go of Mrs. Weasley.
"Sorry Mrs. Weasley!" Harry said sheepishly and blushed so badly Ron would have been proud.
"That's fine Harry. Are you ready to go?"
"Yeah just let me get my stuff from my dormitory."
"Already taken care of dear. One of the house-elves took it to the Burrow already."
"Okay, I'm ready to go then, please tell me we're taking a car back I don't feel up to apparating or taking a portkey."
"Arthur has one waiting in Hogsmeade for us, he thought you wouldn't be ready for either of those yet either. Let's get going." with that Ginny got up and helped Harry off the bed and down the stairs and into Hogsmeade and to the waiting ministry car for the long car ride home. Harry climbed in after Ginny and laid his head in her lap and fell asleep. Ginny sat there stroking Harry's hair absentmindedly while he slept and she soon fell asleep herself.
"Ginny, Harry we're at the Burrow time to wake up and go inside. You two can sleep in Ginny's room in Ginny's bed. That goes for you Ron and Hermione you two can share Ron's bed." Mrs. Weasley told Ron and Ginny. Soon they were all inside and Harry and Ginny made their way upstairs to Ginny's room and laid in the bed, Ginny hugged Harry to her chest and he whispered that he loved her and fell asleep and Ginny followed soon after.
A Few Days Later
Harry was soon back to his old self and was no longer sore from his battle with Voldemort. He walked down the stairs for breakfast and found an owl waiting for him. He took the note and read:
Deaer Mr. Potter,
We here at the Gringott's Inheritance Department feel that it is time for you to receive your inheritances, we request your presence at Gringott's Bank at your earliest convenience so we can cover the wills of Lily and James Potter, Merlin, Godric Gryffindor, and Sirius Black..
Sincerely,
Granok, Gringott's Inheritance Department
"Wow I'm the heir of Merlin and Godric Gryffindor." Harry said and nearly fainted from shock.
"That certainly is interesting Harry, when are you going to go see what you've inherited?" Mrs. Weasley asked.
"Well I'm thinking about spending some quality time with your beautiful daughter for the next couple of days first and then I think I'll go get that taken care of. It does say at my earliest convenience." Harry told her and kissed Ginny gently on the lips. Harry and Ginny then walked out the door and into the orchard and found a nice shade tree that was out of view of the house and started snogging eachother senseless. When they finally broke apart they snuggled up against eachother.
"I love you Gin, don't you forget it." Harry told her and snuggled into her chest.
"I love you too Harry." Ginny said and warapped her arms tightly around his waist and kissed him on the top of his head. A few hours later Mrs. Weasley came outside to find them sleeping under the tree and woke them up.
"Harry, Ginny it's time for dinner, wake up!" Ginny woke up slowly and started turning red until she seen who had woken her up. She woke Harry up by gently kissing him on the lips.
"Mmmm... lemmelone." Harry grumbled as he turned over and fell asleep again.
"HARRY JAMES POTTER IF YOU DON'T WAKE UP THIS INSTANT YOU'LL BE SLEEPING WITH HEDWIG TONIGHT!" with that Harry jerked awake and got up and ran toward the house leaving Ginny and Mrs. Weasley there laughing at his reaction.
"You two sleep together?"
"No, only when I hear him calling out in his sleep from a nightmare or when there is a storm and I get scared."
"That's fine Ginny, just don't go trying to make me any grandchildren just yet."
"MUM!" Ginny yelled turning bright red and scampered off towards the Burrow and the food that awaited her. She sat down to dinner next to Harry and placed her hand on his leg and traced I-love-U on it. He leaned over and told her he loved her back causing her to giggle. As they finished dinner everyone made their way into the sitting room for tea and biscuits, as they walked Harry pinched Ginny's bum causing her to squeal so she reached around him and squeezed his.
"I love you Gin Gin." Harry told her and kissed her on the cheek.
"I love you too Harry." She said and laid her head on his shoulder as they walked. They sat down on the couch and Harry pulled Ginny close to him and she rested her head on his shoulder and stayed like that for the rest of the evening and when it was time for bed they made their way up to Ginny's room and got comfortable and fell asleep, Ginny with her back to Harry's front. The next morning they shared a brief kiss and headed down to breakfast so they could grab some before Ron ate it all and so they could get an early start since they were going to Diagon Alley for some shopping.
"Where are you two going?" Ron asked as they were starting out the door.
"We're going into Diagon Alley for some shopping Ronald, is there a problem?" Ginny asked.
"No just curious is all." Ron said looking a bit down since Hermione would not be arriving for another couple of days and he was bored out of his mind.
"Ronald leave them alone, besides you're degnoming the garden today so you'll be plenty busy." Mrs. Weasley told him and he looked a little green at the thought of Ginny and Harry spending the whole day together.
"Ron we aren't going to do anything like that!" Ginny exclaimed and slapped him upside the head. Then she and Harry walked out and apparated into the Leaky Cauldron and were greeted by Tom the bartender.
"Hey Tom, we'll come by and grab a butterbeer on the way back through so we'll see you later." harry told the old bartender who nodded and walked of to serve other customers.
"So where to first love?" Harry asked her out of curiosity.
"I dunno love, where do you want to go first?"
"Why don't we head to Gringott's and take a look at my inheritances and see what I got."
"Sure come on let's go, besides you need to get some money out of your vault anyways." Ginny told him and took his hand and led him up the high street towards Gringott's. When they reached the doors they were bowed inside by the goblins standing guard outside. They approached the nearest goblin and asked to see Granok.
"Right this way Mr. Potter." the goblin said and bowed. He led them back behind the desk and through a door labled Inheritance Department.
"Granok I present to you Mr. Potter and his mate." the goblin said and bowed out.
"Ah Mr. Potter finally here for the reading of these wills are you?"
"Yes sir I am."
"Oh yes I should explain that shouldn't I? Well Mr. Potter you are the owner of the three biggest Gringott's vaults and some of the largest houses in England. You are heir to one of the greatest wizards in the world and three of the richest families in the world."
"Thank you Granok, now can we please take a look at those wills?"
"Yes we can. We shall start with your mother and father's will." the goblin said and pulled out a rather large file. After the reading of the three wills Harry was shocked speechless at all the things he had inherited.
"I can't believe it!" Harry exclaimed looking over the three wills.
"Wow." was all Ginny could say.
"Here is a total of all of your accounts Mr. Potter, you now have a total of 560 Billion galleons and sever billion more in priceless items in the vaults. Now would you like to go see what are in your vaults?"
"Yes please." Harry said and the goblin lead them out a door off to the left side of his office. They exited into the corridor leading to the carts to take them down to the vaults. They got in and plummeted further and further down the tunnels towards the highest security vaults of the bank. They soon reached the bottom floor of the bank which was where every vault was guarded by a dragon of some sort. Harry found that the one guarding his parents' vault was a Hungarian Horntail, the goblin quickly put the dragon to sleep and allowed them to enter the vault.
"My god... Gin come look at this." Harry said in no more than a whisper.
"WHOAH! So much gold! Harry what are you going to do with all this?"
"I'm going to spoil you with it." Harry said with a laugh and kissed her on the head causing her to giggle. She thought Harry hadn't gathered anything from the vault but she didn't notice him grab his parents wedding bands and his mothers engagement ring before they left to go to Merlins vault. When they got there they found a vault the size of the great hall of Hogwarts. They found several old suits of armor and ancient weaponry. Harry walked to a sword encrusted with emeralds, rubies and diamonds and took it and attached it to his hip, and he handed the other one to Ginny who then attached it to her waist. They both took breast plates and put them on carefully and found that they fit them perfectly. They finished in the Black families vault and Harry took a lot of galleons out of each so they could get lots of stuff while they were out shopping. Harry pulled the goblin off to the side before they left.
"Granok please transfer one billion galleons into each persons vault in the Weasley family."
"It shall be done Lord Potter." the goblin said and Harry and Ginny set off up the high street yet again. Harry went into a nearby jewelry store to get Ginny something nice for her birthday since it was only a couple weeks away. He got her a sterling silver charm bracelet and matching necklace and bought a snitch charm for it. He had it wrapped and walked out and found Ginny in Quality Quidditch Supplies looking at brooms. He walked up behind her and wrapped his arms around her and whispered he loved her causing her to giggle and lay her head back on his shoulder.
"So why did you go to the jewelry store Harry?" Ginny asked curiosly.
"I was getting your birthday present Gin." he responded causing her to turn red. They finished up their day of shopping at Honeydukes sweet shop where they bought Ron and Hermione each a big selection of sweets and went to the Leaky Cauldron for the promised drink with Tom. After that was done they apparated home to the Burrow drawing the attention of everyone in the house with their attire.
"Well Harry I knew your parents were rich but I never thought that they were this rich!" Mrs. Weasley exclaimed.
"These were from my parents and Merlins vaults Mrs. Weasley. Wait you knew my parents?"
"No we didn't. But we do have a picture of them somewhere around here, would you like to see it?"
"Of course I would!" Harry exclaimed and Mrs. Weasley dug the photo out and handed it to him. A tear rolled down his cheek as he looked at his smiling parents holding a small bundle which he knew could only be him.
"How did you get this?" Harry managed to ask.
"We found it while we were cleaning Grimmauld Place." Harry continued to look at the picture and noticed just how much Ginny looked like his mum.
"Gin, y-you look like my mum." Harry whispered to her as she looked on and he broke down in tears and Ginny hugged him and let him cry on her shoulder. She helped him into the living room and they sat down on the couch near the fire and Harry laid his head in her lap as he finished crying. Ginny sat there stroking his hair absentmindedly.
"Hey Gin, can we go somewhere private and talk?"
"Yeah sure we can Harry." Ginny responded and grabbed his hand and led him up the stairs and into her room where they could talk without interuption.
"Well Gin, I just wanted to tell you just how much I love you and how much you mean to me even though this time we had a bit of a rocky start to our relationship you still mean the world to me, if you didn't I wouldn't have saved your life after the battle was over. Gin I love you more than anything and anyone, you mean the world to me and I'm never going to let you go. You are the only girl for me and I intend to keep you my girl forever. That's how much I love you Gin Gin." with that said she hugged him to her and allowed him to place butterfly kisses all over her neck causing her to moan, when he finished he moved up and kissed her gently on the lips.
"I love you too Harry." Ginny whispered as she snuggled into his chest and fell asleep that way. The next day Mrs. Weasley came up to Ginny's room to find them sleeping peacefully in eachothers arms. She went down to get Arthur.
"Arthur you've got to come see this." she told him as she reached the kitchen.
"What is it Molly?"
"Harry and Ginny, this is so cute!" with that he followed his wife up the stairs to Ginny's bedroom and smiled at the sight of his little girl sleeping peacefully with her boyfriend.
"Should we wake them up?" she whispered.
"No, leave them sleep, they both need it." Arthur said and they both walked out of the bedroom and back down to the kitchen.
