A/N Again thanks for all the reviews. This chapter will be longer. Also the day I wrote chapter 3 was actually Harry Potter and J.K Rowling's birthday! And yesterday was actually my brother's 21st birthday. So many birthdays. Enjoy!
Harry awoke the next morning in his bed and unfortunately alone. Ron was still sleeping as usual. Then Harry heard footsteps…I wonder who that is…… His instinct told him to grab his wand which he did but he immediately dropped it when the door burst open. Ron stirred but didn't wake up. Harry looked and saw Ginny running at him. She jumped into his bed with a smile on her face and kissed him passionately.
"Happy 18th birthday Harry!" she said as she gave him a quick kiss on the lips.
"Thanks Gin…" was the only thing he could manage to say in between all the kissing.
"Oi….stop that…." Was all Ron could say when he was half-asleep. The couple both laughed. Harry looked at the clock…6:00….
"Wow Ginny it's still pretty early…I think to be safe you should sleep with me for the rest of the morning." He said with a smile on his face. Ginny nodded and laid her head on his chest. She could hear his steady heartbeat. Then suddenly an owl pecked at the window of Ron's room. Harry and Ginny both got up and walked to the window. He opened the letter and read it.
Dear Harry,
This is Andromeda writing. I thinking of bringing Teddy over today so he could finally see his godfather. Send me an owl back telling me if it is okay.
P.S: Have you anyone in mind to be his godmother?
Sincerely,
Andromeda
"Ginny can I ask you something?"
"Sure." She replied.
"Would you like to be Teddy's godmother?"
Harry noticed that tears started forming in her eyes as he finished the sentence. She nodded furiously and kissed him so hard that fell onto his bed.
"I guess I'll take that as a yes." He said with a smirk on his face. He quickly sent a reply back to Andromeda and then retreated back to his bed with Ginny. They both sleepy peacefully till 9:00.
At Breakfast everyone said happy birthday to Harry as they would usually do. Harry then told Mrs. Weasley that Andromeda was coming. She seemed excited from what Harry saw. Mrs. Tonks came over and the baby was beautiful as it lay in Harry's arms.
"I'm sorry I haven't been able to visit yet, Mrs. Tonks," he said politely.
"It's okay! It's a joy having him around."
"Well I am his godfather, so if you ever have any trouble just call me over. Anytime of the day."
"You're such a nice boy." Harry blushed somewhat. Teddy laughed as Harry made funny faces and Teddy's hair changed from red to teal. Then everyone brought out their presents.
First: Ron. Well…Ron bought Harry a new owl…surprisingly it looked exactly like Hedwig. Then Hermione have him Hogwarts, a History.
"Hermione didn't you give me two of these before?" Harry said with a smile on his face.
"Well yes, but this one is a first edition…plus first printing! I was only able to get two copies, one for myself and one for you."
"Thanks…I guess." He replied. Hermione replied by giving a look that could kill while Ron was laughing in the corner. First time Ron actually out did Hermione, Harry thought.
Mr. and Mrs. Weasley gave Harry some robes that they said would go perfectly along with the Auror training. Harry needed some new robes as a lot of his clothes were lost in the year long trip of the trio. He thanked them politely and went on to George's next gift. Usually Fred and George would both give him a gift together but sadly that was not the occasion.
The gift was a box of the newest products from the joke shop. He told George that he would try them out later and tell him what he thinks. He also saw a card inside the box…later after presents he opened the card and read it…
Happy Birthday Harry! Hope you have fun trying out the new products from W.W.W! Just to tell you again, I don't blame you at all for Fred's death. We were all putting our lives on the line to save the world. He died with a smile on his face. That's what Fred would have wanted.
-George
P.S: Let's hang out some time. Percy is such a nerd. Ha-ha just kidding.
But back to the present now. Harry had received a few studying supplies from Percy for his N.E.W.T.s and some potion supplies from Bill and Fleur. He then received a book on Creatures of the World from Charlie. Charlie would give something that always had to do with animals. Ginny was the only one left. She said she would give his gift to him later. After his birthday dinner and cake he headed up to his room. Ginny came in a few moments later.
"What did you think of your birthday?" she asked.
"It was great. Better than I would've imagined."
"Here." She held out a gold pendant the size of a pocket watch. Harry took it gently out of her hand and examined it carefully.
"Lupin gave it to me before he died. I think it was originally intended for you to see," Ginny said remorsefully. Tears fell down her face but were quickly brushed away by the calloused hand of the green eyed wizard. The couple then shared a innocent kiss and both sat down on his bed.
"Now let's see what's in here," Harry said curiously. He clicked the switch and the pendant flew open. Harry saw a picture of James, Lily, Remus, Sirius, and little Harry in his mother's arms. The group looked so young and joyful. A tear immediately fell on pendant. Harry started crying slowly. Ginny then pulled him into her arms.
"It's going to be okay," she said soothingly as she rubbed her hand against his back. He slowly got up and brushed the tears from his face. He then closed the pendant and put it into his rucksack. He then proceeded to kiss Ginny passionately for quite a long time until……
"OI!" Both Harry and Ginny broke apart and looked up at Ron and Hermione.
"RON!" Ginny yelled as she picked up Harry's wand and chased him out of the room with the quartet laughing simultaneously. Now it was just Harry and Hermione.
"Hey did you know who else had their birthday today?" Hermione asked Harry.
"Nope. Who?"
"J.K Rowling!" Hermione yelled.
"Who the heck is that?" Harry asked puzzled.
"She's a billionaire! She wrote a very successful book series!"
"Really what's the name?
"I always forget. About some boy saving world. Not that great in my opinion. But what would you do if you had a billion dollars?"
"Well," Harry started, "I would never think of it since I already have everything I need...now."
He was right…everyone received retribution in some way. Harry just liked it better when his was the most beautiful girl in the world. She was the only retribution he would ever need
