DELIVERY

" The Holyhead Harpies want me to attend tryouts!" Ginny tackled Harry, taking them both to the ground. The soft grass of the front yard broke their fall. Harry gave her a big hug.

"That's amazing! When are they?"

"In three months. Oh my goodness, I need to practice more!" Ginny sat up, a worried look on her face.

" Don't worry, you'll do fine. You have time to practice. If they think you're good enough to invite you to tryouts, then you're already better than most of the walk-in auditioners that will be there."

Ginny looked at Harry. He may be really sweet, but he always meant what he said. "Do you really think so?"

"No," he replied, "I know so." Ginny smiled at him as he kissed her on the forehead. "I'm still waiting for a reply from the Ministry. They said they would view my records, but I haven't got an answer yet."

Ginny laughed. "There is no way they could turn you down. After all, you are the Chosen One."

"WAS the chosen one. That's all over now. Now I'm ready to have a normal life. A job in the Ministry of Magic, kids, and married to the one I love. He kissed her again, this time on her lips.

"Who might that be?" Ginny asked, her eyebrows raised questioningly.

"The one with the engagement ring."

"What ring?"

"This ring." Harry pulled out a diamond ring. Ginny gasped. "What do you say? Ginny Weasley, would you like to become Ginny Potter?" Ginny's eyes grew wide.

"I-I-I...YES!" Ginny kissed him. Harry stopped, slid the ring on her hand, and kissed her again.

HOOT! HOOT! Harry glanced up at the owl perched on the mailbox. Ginny got up and ran indoors. The brown owl looked expectantly at Harry, a letter in its talons. Harry rose and took the letter as Ginny returned with a shoebox. The owl glanced at her as she pulled a mouse from the box. The owl snatched up the mouse and flew away. "What did you get?"

"It's from the Ministry." Harry opened the letter rapidly. He scanned it excitedly, but slowly, he began to frown.

"What's wrong?" Ginny asked, seeing his disappointment.

"Dear Mr. Potter," he read," we regret to inform you that your application to the Department of Aurors has been denied due to your lack of schooling. Since you have not completed your seventh term at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, you are not eligible for a position of such a high ranking and demanding position at this time."

"WHAT! You can't become an Auror because you were busy during your last year saving their sorry a-"

"However," he interupted," You may attend a University in order to complete you're required hours. Wyvernsigh University has viewed your O.W.L.S and has accepted you as a student. Enclosed is an acceptance letter and a list of required classes to earn your hours. Please confirm your enrollment within ten days of recieving this letter. After you have completed the list of required classes, please apply again and we will be happy to review your files. Thank you." Harry looked in the envelope again and pulled out another letter. "This is my last chance to become an auror."
