"Morning boys." Molly said, rushing past them as she made her way up the stairs. They had only been back a few days, travelling back and forth collecting their stuff from Aunt Muriel's, the kitchen and living room were overflowing with boxes, Molly was desperate to put everything back in its place. To make home, home again. It not only gave her a purpose but it kept her distracted.

"We should help after we've eaten." Ron said, watching his mother disappear around the bend.

"Yeah." Harry replied, and sniffed the air. "Smells good, I wonder who's cooking since your mums not." Ron shrugged and they headed towards the chattering in the kitchen.

"Morning Master." Kreacher said as they walked into the kitchen. Harry and Ron looked at each other for a second, in shock, they hadn't expected to see Kreacher until tomorrow.

"Good morning Kreacher." Harry said with a smile, sitting down at the table next to Ginny. "Morning." He said to her as he leant over and kissed her lightly on the lips.

"If I had known there would this amount of affection during breakfast, I would have stayed in bed." George's voice rang out as he leant against the doorway.

Harry and Ginny separated, blushing slightly as they looked at George, he smirked and nodded towards Ron and Hermione. In the corner Hermione had her arms wrapped around Ron's neck, his arms wrapped around her waist, pulled together, in a long kiss. Both completely oblivious that they were being watched by everyone in the room except for Kreacher, who was busily putting everything on plates.

"Neville and Luna will be on their way in a few minutes." Molly's voice carried down the stairs, her footsteps getting louder as she approached.

Molly's voice worked like an electric shock, Hermione and Ron separated in an instant and turned to face Ginny, Harry and George. Seeing that the eyes were on them, the both blushed as they stepped towards the table. Ron pulled out the chair beside him and Hermione smiled even brighter as she sat down. Ron pushed the chair in slightly and sat down next to her.

Ginny and Harry shared a knowing look. "So that's what I interrupted this morning." Ginny said, trying not to laugh.

George raised his eyebrow, but said nothing as he sat down next to Ron and Molly walked into the kitchen just as Kreacher started placing plates of food in front of them all. Silence fell in the kitchen as Molly sat down beside Ginny. George was smirking and the rest of them were looking down at their plates.

"So Neville and Luna will be here soon." Ron said slowly, breaking the silence and looking up at his mother.

"Yes. They just sent a letter." Molly said scanning their faces, with a look of curiosity. Kreacher stood beside her, his hands empty, the table full of food.

"Smells delicious, thank you Kreacher." Ron said with a smile. The others joined in nodding and smiling.

"I'll do some boxes while you eat." Kreacher said, looking happy and turning out of the room. He was in the same helpful mood that he was before Hermione, Ron and Harry went to the Ministry, more than ready to help, even the 'blood-traitors' as he once called them.

As he left the room, they turned their attention to the food and began filling their plates, the plates in the middle of the table were quickly emptying. The only person who sat there still, not touching the food was Hermione whose attention was solely on Ron, her eyes wide.

"What, I'm hungry!" Ron said defensively, looking down at the mound of food on top of his plate. Hermione smiled, Ron didn't know why she was staring at him like that, but it was a look of mild surprise, but almost in awe that after everything had changed so drastically there were still some similarities. Tearing her eyes away from him, she started filling her plate and they all ate in silence.

"Did Dad make it home last night?" George asked.

"For a few hours, but he had to leave early again. He wants you to visit him after breakfast. Percy, Bill and Charlie are all there already." Molly replied, glancing up at the clock, an old habit of hers. Looking at the rest of them she said, "We're having a big dinner tonight, so I need you to help around the house." They all nodded.

"We were thinking of going to see Teddy after lunch, for an hour or so. But the rest of the day your wish is our command." Ron said sincerely. Harry and Hermione all looked at over at him again, they still weren't used to his new side yet.

"What do you want us to do?" Ginny asked, eagerly. There was a different atmosphere in the Weasley house these days. There was much less bickering, everyone had changed, the solemn silence still crept in at times, but everyone had spent their days crammed full, too scared to stop.

"Well Ginny and Hermione can.." she faltered for a moment, she would normally separate them but decided against it, "You four can start by de-gnoming the backyard. It got out of hand while we were away." She stood up and pushed her chair in, running her hand through her hair, and glancing at the clock again as she headed out into the living room.

"Well I best be off, enjoy de-gnoming." George said as he rose from his seat and looked at them all, he glanced over at the clock and a look of sadness washed over his face.

Crack!

"We should go outside, Luna and Neville should be here soon." Hermione said standing up. The rest of them rose with her, Ron wrapping his around her shoulder, and kissed her head as they headed towards the door. Harry did the same to Ginny and followed Ron outside.

Crack! Crack!

Just as the door shut behind them, Luna and Neville appeared in front of them smiling.

"Hello Harry! Morning Ginny!" Luna said, stepping forward and pulling them both into a hug.

"Hermione, Ron!" Neville said, hugging them both as well.

"Care to join us de-gnoming?" Ginny asked as they finished hugging Luna and then Neville.

"Sure, we have a lot to tell you." Neville said as he followed them into the yard.

"As do they." Luna said in her sing song voice, looking around as she walked, "Lovely garden." She smiled at Ginny and Ron.
