Chapter 3 – Dumbledore's Stuff

The first thing that Harry saw was a packing slip of sorts. It had a list of all items that were now his and the list was very long to say the least. He handed the list to a curious Hermione and dove in to the large trunk before him. The trunk reminded him of Moody's trunk their fourth year with different compartments and spaces. The inside could hold much more then the outside suggested and soon the room was full of stuff with nowhere to go.

Ron had found the pensieve and all of the memories that Dumbledore had shown Harry. Ginny was looking at all the different silver instruments that had been in Dumbledore's office. Harry noticed that some of them had must have been repaired after his tirade of throwing things. Harry had discovered a photo album of the original Order and put it aside to look at later. As he was grabbing something else, Herminie gasped.

"Harry…this list…it includes Dobby and Winky!"

"What?" questioned Harry, "Hermione are you sure, that means I have three house elves now if you include Kretcher."

Ron piped in, "well mate all you have to do is call them right, and they will come to you? Give it a try and we will see if it is true."

"Okay…erm…Dobby…Winky?" With a pop, the two house elves appeared at his side.

"Harry potter sir," squeaked Dobby, "Dobby and Winky were told that we would be receiving your call sir. What do you need?"

"Um…actually Dobby I don't need anything at the moment." The ears started to droop on both Dobby and Winky hearing that they were unneeded. Harry quickly thought of something that they could do so that they would be very happy. "Well, how would you feel about going to help Mrs. Weasley get ready for the wedding. There is lots of decorating and stuff to do?" With that, the two elves snapped and were gone. Seconds later a small yelp erupted from where Mrs. Weasley was in the kitchen. They had no doubt scared her just a little, and Ron started laughing.

"Harry," scolded her Hermione, "they shouldn't have to work, why can't they just relax?"

"Hermione, they like to work." Harry replied simply, "did you see how upset they were when I told them that there was nothing that they could do? I will pay them just like Dumbledore did, don't worry, they are in good care with me." With a small huff, Hermione went back to reading the list. Ron had since removed an invisibility cloak with a soft "wow." When Harry looked up, he gave a small smile.

"Excellent, now we do not all need to fit under mine. That one is longer then mine is so Ron will have to use it, for once he won't have to worry about his feet showing." Ginny began ooohing and ahhing some goblin made goblets when she saw the crest on the side.

"Oh Harry, this is the Potter family crest!" Harry looked up and saw where she was pointing. The top of the crest said "Potter Family", underneath it were two wands crossed and sending out sparks, and beneath that was the beautiful stag that Harry recognized immediately. The crest was red and gold and made Harry wonder if ever a Potter existed who had not been in Gryffindor.

Harry looked up at Hermione who he assumed wound find this goblet very interesting when he found her staring at his list of possessions. She looked up and closed her mouth before Ginny or Ron saw. She gave the list to Harry as he gave her the goblet and he looked to see what was so interesting. When he looked down, he saw the last item on the list, his money. Dumbledore had left him the reminder after everyone else had been given his or her share and Harry was shocked. The list said that he had been left over 200 million galleons. He could not even comprehend how much that was and was left feeling very guilty as he stared at his best mate and girlfriend who did not have anything like that. Wondering how Dumbledore had so much money, Harry stuffed the list in is pocket before anyone could notice and gave Hermione a look that said "Don't you dare tell a soul." She nodded slightly and they returned to their discussion on all the possessions. Ron had found a great chess set and Hermione had found practically a library of books. Ginny pulled something long and shinny out of the bottom of the box. It was the last item and upon doing so, everyone looked and gasped. Ginny was holding Godric Gryffindor's sword that Harry had used against the basilisk. There was a note attached which Harry read aloud.

Dear Harry,

You probably thought that this sword belonged to the school, but that was incorrect. This sword has belonged to me since before I became headmaster at Hogwarts. Use it well, and be very careful on all your quests though life.

Sincerely.

Albus Dumbledore

Harry looked around at all their faces and shrugged. He wondered how Dumbledore came to be in possession of it, but it did not say; therefore, he could do nothing about it.

"Well Harry," Hermione said though a yawn, "we should put it all away so that we can get to sleep, it is after midnight and I don't know about you but I am exhausted." They all murmured in agreement and began replacing the stuff in the trunk.

Before long, they were done, and Harry heard Ginny ask if Hermione could give them a couple minutes to say goodnight before coming down to her room. Hermione nodded and stayed with Ron. Ginny smelled so sweet and Harry figured she must have showered upon arriving home. Once they got to Ginny's room, she pulled Harry in close. Her breath was warm and Harry knew he could never let her go again. As they held each other, Harry remembered how he had considered telling her that he loved her, when they were at school he decided to wait. Now seemed like the perfect time so he took the plunge.

"Ginny?"

"Hum?" She replied sweetly as he encircled her in his arms.

"I love you." He stated. Harry realized that he did it better then he thought he would be able to. Especially for someone who had never said those words out loud before.

"I love you too Harry, I love you too." It was all she said and it put a very happy conclusion on a very lousy day.

As Harry trudged up the stairs to Ron's room, he did not hear voices and was hoping that he was not going to be walking in on anything. They were lying on Ron's bed and it looked like Hermione had drifted off to sleep. Even though Harry assumed that they had not been cuddling before she started sleeping, they certainly were now. Ron had been smelling her hair and his cheeks began to get red as he saw Harry enter, but Harry gave him a crooked smile to tell him that it was fine and kind of funny. Before Ron could wake her, Harry looked him square in the eye and said very plainly, "You know, you should tell her how you feel."

"Yeah I know, but I don't want to ruin anything."

"Ron, Hermione feels the same way about you that you do about her. Take a deep breath tomorrow and tell her how you feel. Believe me; you will be happy you did."

With that, Ron slid out from beside Hermione and picked her up in his arms. He carried her down the steps to Ginny's room. He laid her in bed, and took off her shoes, pulling the covers up over her. Ginny was already asleep, and Ron gave Hermione a quick kiss on the forehead before heading back up stairs. She had never woke up as he carried her down, and Ron figured a good time to tell her how he felt would be when he had to explain how she got to bed that night. As Ron entered his room, he noticed that Harry was asleep. He was secretly thankful for this since it gave him time to prepare for his talk with Hermione.

Authors note: 200 million galleons is equal to: 1 billion UK pounds or 2,014,000,000 US dollars. This conversion was taken from the Harry Potter lexicon. 1 galleon = 5 pound or $10.07 US.
