*Ginny's POV*

Today is the day we, the seventh years (myself included), started our new class. When the Great Hall was full of students all the seventh years were asked to stay behind after breakfast. "Okay, all the boys line up and I will place The Sorting Hat on your head. Instead of being in a house this year, you will be paired with a girl," Professor McGonagall said, looking each boy in the eye, noticing how everyone stiffened up, evidently confused. "All will be explained later."

We visibly relaxed with the promise of more information and Professor McGonagall started placing the hat on the boy's heads. "Draco Malfoy and Pansy Parkinson," The Sorting Hat called, "Harry Potter and..." All the girls in the Hall held their breath, waiting for…"Ginny Weasley!"

Most of the girls started muttering while I walked over to stand by Harry. I tuned out the other "sorting's" but tuned in for Ron's, Fred's, and George's (who had all come back for seventh year and in extension, The Project). Ron was paired with Lavender Brown, George with Pavarti Patil, and the biggest shock of all Fred was paired with Hermione! I watched Fred walk over to Hermione and smiled, this could be fun.

After ten minutes of waiting while the others were sorted, Harry was given a strange looking letter addressed to "The Potter family." We sat down and huddled close together as he opened the letter:

Dear Harry and Ginny Potter,

Congratulations! You are now married for The Project. Now, onto the serious business. You have a catalogue of houses to look at, as you will need to move in together. When you find a house you like just tap the house with both of your wand's and say "buy." Within ten minutes you will get a set of keys and the address will appear on this letter (Professor McGonagall has had houses put in a safe part of the Forbidden Forest). When you have chosen your house, please stay in the Great Hall and the rest of the information you need, will appear on this letter.

Yours Faithfully,

The Ministry Of Magic

Harry and I looked through the catalogue and found a house we liked for 10,000 galleons. It was a 4 bedroom cottage with at least one bathroom, a kitchen, and a common area.

"So, we just tap our wands together, right?" Harry asked, smiling at me.

"Yes," I replied, hovering my wand over the page. The picture of our new home was beautiful. We tapped it, said "buy", and ten minutes later we looked in the envelope again.

Dear Potters,

You live at 16 Wand Lane. At the start of The Project everyone was given a budget of 20,000 galleons to get you through the first week. Before you start, you must furnish your house while looking after your children (if you have any).

You have twin infants and a two year old that you will receive at 6 o'clock. Mrs. Potter will also be pregnant with your fourth child. Mr. Potter will work as the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor while Mrs. Potter works as Madam Pomfrey's assistant. The children will be in the room next to the Hospital Wing; where Mrs. Potter can keep an eye on them while you are both working.

You must feed and clothe yourselves. Any money you earn goes into a joint Gringotts account.

Yours Faithfully,

The Ministry Of Magic

Harry and I turned to the clock that was hung behind the staff table. "One minute until it's six," I said, looking down at the table, wondering how I was going to raise three children. I glanced at Harry and shrugged. We'd be fine. It was only a project, after all. When the clock struck six, Professor McGonagall and other Professors and Ministry workers started handing out the kids.

We were given a beautiful, two year old girl and a set of beautiful, bouncing boy and girl twins. When we filled out the birth certificate we named the two year old Alithea, the girl twin Louis, and the boy twin James.

"Lith, honey, do you want to go home?" I asked her watching as she nodded sleepily. Harry stood with Louis and James as I followed with Alithea. We started walking to our cottage when Harry turned to me,

"Gin? We haven't gone shopping for anything yet."

"Well, let's go shopping then!" I told him, excited to put things in our house and begin "life" with him. We apparated to Diagon Alley and went into too many stores to count. It was hard to juggle the twins and Alithea so we got a stroller to make it easier, handing them each a snack to keep them occupied. After a little over three hours we had all the furniture and food we needed to make our house livable. We also got clothes and toys for the children, which wasn't as hard as I thought it was going to be.

When we finished, we apparated to Hogwarts' main gate and followed the directions on how to get to our cottage. Thankfully, there were "roads" with signs on them that were easy to follow. I set the kids in the common area with some toys while we furnished the house (which took an hour thanks to us being able to use magic) and started making dinner while Harry played with the kids.

"Harry? Can you feed Lith?" I called from the kitchen, poking my head around the doorway. "I'll get the twins set up." He came in, Alithea waddling next to him and a twin in each arm. I grabbed the twins from him and set them up with bottles while he put Alithea on his lap. He grabbed the little plate of chicken casserole and a fork,

"No problem." He said, "Thanks for making dinner."

"Thank you and you're welcome," I said while I smiled at him and Alithea. I finished my dinner the same time the twins finished their bottles, which was a feat because I had to readjust them often. I quickly burped them and then took them upstairs to their cribs, cuddling them before putting the baby alarm on.

"Alithea, it's bedtime!" Harry's voice floated to me as I walked into the lounge. Harry came out of the kitchen holding a very tired Alithea and smiled at me as he passed. When Harry came back he sat next to me on the sofa, flicking his wand at the fireplace causing flames to crackle, creating a warm glow in the room. I moved to sit between his legs and lent back so I could watch the fire, exhausted from the day. He started stroking my fiery red hair that was spread around me and spilled over our shoulders. We sat there, content to enjoy the silence, and stared into the flames and at each other. About two hours later, we headed up to the bedroom where, as soon as our heads hit the pillow, we were asleep within seconds.
