Chapter 4: Welcome back with a thump

Harry woke up the next morning with a hangover to end all hangovers looking across at Draco he saw that his husband was in no better state than he himself, sitting up in bed he winced looking affronted at the morning in general for giving him the hang over in the first place.

Standing in front of the mirror he winced at the sight of his own face he looked terrible this morning and didn't feel that much better if he was perfectly honest with himself, their was a knock on the door he looked over at the sleeping form of his husband before pulling his bathrobe on and opening the door to see a rather happy Moony and Padfoot standing in the doorway.

"Their had better be an insanely good reason for knocking this early." Harry said grouchily.

"Harry we came to give you the marauder pick me up cure for anything drink." Moony said smiling at the rather frail looking boy.

"Come in Draco is asleep so keep it down." Harry said looking over at his husband who was lightly snoring.

"How are you feeling this morning Harry? You had rather a lot to drink last night." Moony asked.

"Like I had a heard of hippogriffs trample over my head." Harry admitted.

"Not much better than everyone else then, we spiked the Weasley's drinks last night Molly was trying to strangle us both at breakfast, she also said that we should let you both sleep as you had rather a lot more to drink than the rest of us." Padfoot said.

"So how long after we went to bed did the party finish?" Harry asked.

"As far as I know it's still going on." Moony said.

"You have rather a lot of presents here to open." Padfoot said.

"Sure knock yourself out while I get Draco up." Harry said smiling at the glee in his godfather's eyes as he bounced over to the presents that were still on the floor by the bed where they had been the night before.

Harry walked over to Draco who was stirring whispered something in the boy's ear that made him bolt up right in the bed glaring at the floor in front of them where Padfoot was unwrapping presents.

"Ri why is he opening the presents?" Draco pleaded with Harry.

"We are going to need help opening them all love and they are family so they can help you know." Harry said Draco lightened at the tone he said that with pulling his boxers on under the covers he joined Sirius and Remus opening presents.

"Hey someone sent us invisibility cloaks Harry if we didn't have one already that would be really cool." Draco said smiling.

"Well I know who has a birthday or Christmas present already, hey Sirius how'd things go with Nate last night." Harry asked.

"His taking me to dinner tonight if you must know, Moony here got himself a date with an elf last night you know." Sirius said laughing at the look Remus gave him.

"Oh well at least he isn't my cousin my older cousin at that." Harry said mock glaring at his godfather who started laughing.

"So are their any plans for us today at all?" Harry asked.

"No you're free to do with as you please today we thought though that you would both like to go to Diagon Alley today and do some shopping school shopping and other shopping." Remus said smiling.

"Yes because we both want to be mobbed by everyone today." Draco muttered.

"Actually if you want to go they will close it of to the public so that you can do your shopping in peace, look more presents are arriving for the pair of you it seems that word is out that you married last night." Sirius said trying to distract the pair.

"Sounds like a plan." Harry said. "I am going to make use of the bath and shave I will see you three in a while." Harry added walking into the bathroom.

Harry came out dressed a little while later in baggy clothes the scar on his forehead hidden by charms that he had placed on himself and looking for all the world as hot as ever, Harry smiled at Draco who grinned back disappearing himself into the other room Harry could hear splashing that said that the other boy was having a lot of fun in the bath this morning taking a seat next to Sirius he pulled a present that was squawking and had holes in the side so that the bird or what ever it was could breathe.

"Someone wrapped a bloody bird cage with the bird in it up to give to us both." Harry said swearing.

Opening the cage as soon as it was free of the wrapping he looked down at the majestic blue phoenix which was blinking up at him taking the bird ever so gently out of the cage he placed the bird on Hedwig's perch who was not back yet from her hunt though it wouldn't be long he thought before the bird returned.

"Hello beautiful I bet they didn't even give you food before they did that so let's see what you would like to eat." Harry said to the majestic bird before conjuring some fish for him the idea popped into his mind the bird trilled at him thankfully before turning to eat his meal Harry conjured a second perch for Hedwig so that she had somewhere to land when she arrived which wasn't a moment to soon as the snowy owl flew through the window landing on the free perch next to him and hooted. "Good hunt Hedwig, I hope it was be nice to the wedding present okay." Harry said smiling down at the bird running a finger down her breast feathers as he always does and having his finger nibbled gently by the bird was a sure sign of pleasure.

When they were both ready for the day they had named the phoenix Merlin since he had the midnight blue eyes which made him everything they could possibly want, Harry and Draco had fallen in love with the phoenix who got on famously with Hedwig much to Harry's surprise.

"We will be back in a few hours you two." Draco said heading out the door of their quarters and into the hall.

When they met with the other guests down in the hall Ron looked almost as bad as Harry felt when he woke up this morning. Hermione looked as bright as ever and Ginny was with someone Harry recognized as his cousin and not much else.

"This is your cousin Ben apparently." Ginny said introducing the pair again.

"Nice to meet you Ben, if you hurt that girl your have seven no eight brothers to hurt you." Harry said to the boy who looked petrified at the idea but Harry just grinned at him slapped him on the back before saying. "You won't hurt her I know but you need to be warned." He added.

"Who's the eighth brother Harry?" Ginny asked.

"Why me of course Ginny." Draco said from the side. "I am of course married to Harry which kind of makes me your brother in law." He added at the confused look Ginny gave him which turned into a smile in moments.

"Oh your so doomed boy." Arthur said ribbing the boy who was smitten with Ginny Harry knew that look all to well it was the same kind of look that Harry gave Draco when they had first got together.

"Shall we get going I need to shop for a new feathered companion that was given to us by a guest." Harry said.

"What type of bird?" Ben asked.

"Oh a phoenix of some kind though I haven't seen one of these before to be honest so I don't know the type, it's blue with midnight blue eyes." Harry explained.

"Oh that's from the north normally found near the artic and Siberia the snow phoenix they are quite rare as pets because they are so hard to catch." Ben explained.

"Merlin is wonderful he gets on well with Hedwig as well which is a plus." Harry explained.

"Nice name Harry we'll meet him later I am sure." Dumbledore said smiling even the old man looked hung over to Harry.

"Let's get this over with shall we I really want to do some shopping then I want to train with my new abilities." Harry said.

"As impatient as your father was young man." His grandfather said from the door way smiling.

Harry who had never really had any real family blood wise anyway other than his former aunt who wasn't blood to him ran to the older man and hugged him the former king wrapped his arms around the boy hugging him just as tightly.

"He really is home." Hermione said smiling happy for her best friend.

Hphphphphphp

The group got in the limo which was stopping of at Hogwarts first to return Dumbledore to the castle he said that he would see the friends at the start of school Harry smiled thanking him for coming before he shut the door to let them continue on to their destination.

When they finally stopped again an hour or so later Harry waited for the door to be opened as was protocol even if he didn't like having people waiting on him hand and foot the door opened to cameras flashing in his face this was something that he was going to hate after a while he plastered a force smile on his face waving to the cameras all the while seething with anger that he could now no longer walk down the street with out people taking photos.

Harry took Draco's hand when he stepped out of the car which made even more cameras go of Harry looked at Ron pleadingly for help he hated this, the guards that were with them followed them in to the alley letting the gate close behind them which was then locked and two guards stood guard to make sure that no one got through there.

"At last on our own again, yay for the good side of life." Harry muttered.

"Sorry Harry but its something that you have to get used to whether you like it or not this is part of your life now." Remus said to the boy sadly.

"Just because it is doesn't mean I have to like it very much." Harry said to the man as they walked into Gringot's.

"Your highness we have your keys and cards to the family vaults there is stuff in them that the former king said might be useful to you and your friends do you wish to visit the vaults?" Griphook asked.

"Sure things haven't got anything better to do so I am at your mercy lead the way." Harry said smiling at the goblin who grinned back baring his teeth in what was clearly meant as a friendly gesture.

The group took a huge cart big enough for them all to get in the back of it as they whirred their way through the bank when they finally stopped Harry was the only one who appeared to be able to move freely without puking over the sides of the cart.

Walking with the goblin to the door he watched the goblin open it whistling at the contents, this place didn't have just gold it had books brooms carpets bookcase's trunks weapons you name it this place had it.

"Everything in this vault belongs to you." Griphook explained. "And your husband, when your fathers had you they set up an account for you every present and everything you have gained in wills since that day has gone into this vault, you will also find that stuff that belongs to the ruler of your kingdom as been transferred to this vault of course that will disappear when your heir takes the throne but that is not for some time. According to your vault statements you are a multi billionaire your assets grown daily of course through WWW and all of the many companies you inherited from your fathers." Griphook explained.

"Wow Harry you really are loaded." Ron murmured.

"Griphook I would like to set up a fund for my friends say a million each so that when they leave school they are set up and can buy their own homes, WWW will receive two million since the twins own it together with the explicit orders to make more people laugh this year than last and to give Filch hell for us." Harry explained.

"It will be done your highness." The goblin replied.

"Harry you don't have to do that." Hermione said.

"Call it a birthday present to you all, this is my way of making sure that your set in life when this war is over you're be able to buy a house and still be able to have a lot of fun with what's left as it should be." Harry replied.

"Thanks Harry." Ron said smiling.

"All I can wish for now is to give you the fame so I can ride of into the sunset with my husband." Harry said laughing at the look his best friend gave him which was incredulous. "You guys aren't paying for a thing today so don't even bother trying to argue with me on the subject your lose." Harry said

The group were standing in the vault now which went back as far as the eye could see the place was huge and breathtaking all at the same time, Harry looked around the vault deciding he wanted to take some stuff away.

"This is one of the only vaults that we have that has an entrance to it in your own castle all you have to do is open it when you go home and your be able to view to your hearts content your highness." Griphook said.

"I will do that later." Harry replied smiling at the goblin.

Harry and his friends having taken a Gringot's card from the goblin rather than carry money around with him in a pouch left the bank heading down the street the group were all smiles they still didn't have anyone standing around them or taking photos of them and the guys around then that were protecting them had their wands and what looked like sub machine guns on their hips anyone wanting to get to the king would have to take down a lot of people to get to him.

Harry wanted to make a stop of at the magical menagerie to pick up supplies for the birds having picked out what he needed and being told that he would not pay for anything this day his grandfather wanted to spoil his grandson and his grandson's friends they went shopping.

Harry was looking at a very content mate who was eyeing up what liked a small white cat which had what looked like blue stars on its back which of course were fur but it looked incredible he read the tag and smiled Kneazle.

"Can I Harry please?" Draco asked.

"Gramps wants to spoil us all so if you want him or her then their your all yours." Harry whispered in his mate's ear and got a broad smile for his efforts.

"Thanks." Draco said standing and walking to the counter.

"You two look very happy." Sirius commented.

"We are, he fell in love with the kitten and I can't deny him anything pretty much." Harry pointed out.

"As it should be Harry." Remus said smiling.

"Are you two not looking for pets for your mate's?" Harry asked.

"Harry I don't want to take advantage." Remus stuttered.

"You were included on the million galleons things Remus I meant what I said you deserve to be happy now go get something for your mate gramps is paying so take advantage." Harry said their was a glint in the older mans eyes as he practically skipped away from Harry and Sirius.

"I don't need the money Harry I am better of than the others I inherited my family fortune so do something worthwhile with it." Sirius said.

"Find a charity of your liking and donate it then or create one for the orphans of this war." Harry said getting a smile from Sirius for his efforts before he two went of down the aisle looking for a pet of some kind Harry of course knew that it would be a dog or wolf of some kind.

Harry walked around the store looking at various items he looked at snakes but didn't see anything he like deciding that he would not buy anything he waited for the others to finish shopping.

An hour later they walked out onto the street with their buys being carried with them the group looked ecstatic as they placed the items and animal carry cases into the limo before continuing on with the shopping.

Harry who wanted a new broom headed across to the quidditch supply shop seeing that as usual the new broom took pride and place in the display window looking at Ron and Draco who both had mad glints in their eyes he stepped into the shop with the others behind him they walked up to the counter though they were a little surprised to see four brooms on the counter already.

"Your grandfather ordered these this morning, the Typhoon is the latest creation from the makers of the firebolt her top speed is just over three hundred miles an hour she as anti fall jinx and an unbreakable charm on her for accident." The old man said which made Harry grin at his mate.

"We'll take them in that case." Draco said laughing at the glee in the Gryffindor eyes.

"You still won't be able to beat me in the air love no matter how fast you go." Harry teasing the blonde before kissing him.

"You wish Potter." Draco said laughing.

They left the shop a little while later looking around the shops for the better part of the day the group brought till they no longer could stand the sight of another shop and were heading back to the limo to go home when the ministry officials popped into the alley all around them auror's all pointing weapons at them Umbridge and Fudge leading the group.

"Mr. Potter, so glad to finally catch up with you." Fudge sneered at Harry.

"Minister Fudge I do hope this is quick I have better things to attend to than some silly little man who is clinging to his office by a finger nail." Harry snarled at the man.

"You're under arrest Potter for attacking Delores at the end of the last school year." Fudge snarled.

"Sorry I was under the impression that it was professor Umbridge who attempted to use Crucio on my husband while I happened to be in the room with a number of other students." Draco said jumping to the defence of his husband.

"More lies." Umbridge snarled.

"Yes you would like to make the man who is the biggest fool in your kingdom believe that wouldn't you Delores since it was you who sent the dementors after my grandson, Fudge I have hear an order of no confidence in yourself which removes you from office and places you under arrest for aiding Umbridge in torturing students at Hogwarts." Elderon said to the old man.

"You can't do this I want him dead." Screamed Fudge.

"Yes we know." Harry smiled sweetly at the man.

"My lord will come to power Potter." Fudge screamed.

"Really well then that's you convicted of being a supporter of his already, now if your excuse me it's been a long day for my friends and myself gramps I will see you at home." Harry said smiling at Fudge as he walked away.

"Don't you walk away from me Potter I am the minister for magic.

"The Name is King Michael Richards and don't you forget it." Harry said leading the way back to the limo.

"Crucio." Fudge cried hitting Harry in the back with the spell which caused Harry to scream as he fell to the floor it didn't take long before the man was dead on the floor with his former under sectary Harry was taken back to the palace for medical attention before the press arrived and started the fracas that would ensue.
