Ch 4: Just Subtle Enough

Disclaimer: I don't own any of this whatsoever.

Harry woke up early the next day, Harry noticed that even asleep Ron still looked angry, he knew it was going to be a long day if Hermione and Ron start to argue because he always wound up in the middle of it. He made his way down to the kitchen to see Mr. and Mrs Weasley already there.

Upon entering the kitchen Arthur spoke to him "AHH good, Harry I was just about to go wake you. I got an Owl just a few moments ago from the minister he wants you and I to meet him at Gringotts this morning at nine"

"Why does he want us to meet him there" Harry said with a little nervousness in his voice. The last time he had been there was when he Ron and Hermione had broken into it a few weeks ago.

"Apparently Kingsley has been talking with the Goblins about having you forgiven for what you did, But they want to hear what you have to say" Mr. Weasley said then taking a sip from his tea.

Harry came over to sit across from , as he sat Molly put a large plate of eggs with Bacon in front of him. She gave him a wink that told him Eat up you have a big day today.

Harry remind quiet eating his food when Mr. weasley spoke again "When you finish you food Harry, hurry upstairs and get ready. I would like to leave soon" as he finished that sentence Ginny came into the kitchen.

"Go where dad"

"Harry has a meeting with the Minister this morning at Gringotts"

She looked over at Harry and could tell he was a little worried of what might happen, so she didn't press the matter any further.

After Harry finished he went up stairs to go get ready. Mr. Weasley was finishing his tea, Molly continued to cook, and Ginny started to eat. Then Ginny started to think of the conversation she had in the early hours of the morning with Hermione, then she got an Idea she knew how to make it subtle.

"Mom Everyone is coming over tonight for dinner right" She asked her mother

"Yes dear, Charlie is leaving tomorrow morning to Romania, so he should be here with Bill and Fleur around Dinner time" Ginny though that was a perfect time to make the announcement.

A few moment later Harry returned and was ready to leave. As he and Arthur made there way to the Door Ginny called his name, without thinking Ginny goes out to him and give him a big kiss on the lips. Harry didn't say anything, neither did any of the elder Weasleys. Ginny on the other hand was smiling, she leaned into his ear and whispered "hurry back" and with that she took her leave to her room.

Ginny's parents where just starting at Harry, not sure what had just happened, Harry was still a little confused himself. He stepped outside not looking at Mr. Weasley, and asked if he was ready. The Disapparated to the leaky cauldron. Mr. Weasley was still trying to figure out what happened as both of them made their way to Gringotts. There was a very awkward silence. Harry was relieved when they arrived in front of the bank to be greeted by the Minister, and Percy.

"Harry, Arthur good to see you both" Boomed Kingsley in his very deep voice.

"Hello" they both replied in unison.

As they made their way up the steps and into the the bank. Once inside, Harry noticed that all the repairs had been made. But he also noticed that every single Goblin was looking at him. He wasn't sure if they were giving him a dirty look or not since Goblins whether they were happy or not look angry all the time. They walked till they were met by an older Goblin who took them to an empty room. And so the meeting began.

"So Mr. Potter. The minister here tells us that you had a good reason to break into the bank. I would like to know what reason that would be."

"Well you see sir, we had too, if not Voldemort would still be here" at hearing the name made the Goblin as well as the others flinch.

"Very well, but may that as it be you still broke into one of our volts, as well as released and Dragon that has been here before you were even born, and not to mention the damage you that was done to the main lobby" As he listed everything the Goblins voice rose louder and louder to a point to where he was shouting.

At this point Kingsley steeped in "Now, now no need to shout. We had agreed that all Harry needed to do was tell you why he broke in, and he would be pardoned"

"Yes well... Very Well you are pardon Mr. Potter. Even though it was a vague response"

Kinsley spoke again "well I think that should wrap things up come along Percy, Arthur I would like a word with you back in the Ministry. Oh Harry the Goblins would like to talk to you about your accounts here, but i'm sure you don't need us for that so we will be taking our leave... Oh and one more thing here" Kingsley held out his hand to harry, Harry took the piece of parchment with his name on it, it was an Apparition licence. He looked at Kingsley and smiled and was about to protest but Kinsley just shook him off and left.

Once the office was cleared out and it was just Harry and the Goblin. The Goblin began to talk "Well Mr. Potter as you know your parents left you a trust fund before they died, which had a considerable amount of money. And Sirius Black left you the entire black Volt" Harry nodded

"Yes I was aware of this"

Well then what you are not aware of is that once you turned seventeen you would receive all the the money from the Potter volt

"What... are you saying my parents left me more money"

"Oh yes a considerable amount. You see what you had was a trust fund which would be used for school or any other things you might need before you became of age. Once you were of age you would receive the entire Potter volt, along with the estates that belonged to different family members over the centuries"

Harry was shocked at that he just heard. How would he have known he would have so much money. He didn't know what to say finally he asked "Just how much Galleons do I have"

"Well Mr. Potter at the time its hard to tell, with the Black Volt alone you would be considered one of our richest clients, and if you add the Potter which is bigger than the Blacks its hard to saw, but its more than a Billion Galleons. Maybe making you the richest wizard in the U.K"

Great just great. What am I going to do with all that money, I dont even want it

Harry sat there thinking of what he would do with the money. He wanted to give half to the Weasleys but he knew they would never accept it. then It hit him " I want to set up a trust fund for the godson Teddy Lupin. Fill it with enough money that his grandmother would never have to worry about money again"

"Very good Sir, there is one last bit of information you might like to know. Inside the potter vault your parents also left some personal items of theirs that might interest you, If you would like we can take you down so you can see your volt"

"Yes I would like that"

Just as the Goblin said there was a rather large wooden trunk in there he looked around and saw another small wooden box in one of the corners he went and picked it up, when he saw what was inside made he well up with tears, He set the little box down and returned his attention to the trunk, he srunk it so it would fit in his pockets and with that made his way out of the bank. Before he left the Goblins have him a stack of parchments, they said it was land and houses, and various other businesses he now owned.

Once out of the bank Harry could see just how bad diagon alley was. Windows were boarded up. and there was broken glass everywhere. He knew had to find a way to be able to help get this place back to where it use to be. With a loud poop he was gone.

...

It had being a wired morning at the Burrow, especially after Harry left with Arthur. One of the reason was due to the kiss Ginny had given Harry before he left, she had not left her room since that happened, and Molly really wanted to know what that was all about. Another reason was Ron and Hermione were arguing for the better part of two hours. After the made up they both left and had not return.

I was around lunch time when Harry returned to the Burrow, as he made his way into the house he was nearly tackled down by his favorite red head.

"Harry you're back, i'm so glad it being so boring here without You" Ginny said as she looked up at Harry and gave him a smile.

Harry took in her flowery smell of hers for a moment, there had been a while where he thought he would never get to smell her again.

"Im glad to be back. What has being going on since I left"

Ginny told him how Ron and Hermione were arguing for a better part of the morning before making up and disappearing to Merlin knows where. Harry and Ginny had made there way to the table, Ginny had made him a sandwich so he could eat, and he started to eat when Molly came in and was a little surprised to see Ginny sitting next to Harry as he ate.

"Harry dear, your back how did it go" she asked trying not think too much about it, but in the back of her mind she knew something was going on between these two.

Harry went on to explain everything that went on, how the Goblins questioned him. About his fortum which exceeded anyones wildest dreams, and the trunk with his parents things.

Ginny being curious asks "So whats in the trunk?"

"Dont know havent opened it" Harry continued to eat his sandwich. When he was finished he turn to Ginny and says "Gin, do you want to go for a walk" At this moment Harry caught the 'look' Molly was giving both of them so he added "You know so we can go look for Ron and Hermione" at hearing that Molly seemed to relax just a bit.

They both made their way out the door and Ginny whispered "are we really going to go look for them"

Harry smiled at her and said "NO, but I don't want your mom to think we're up to no good" They both laughed as the made there way to the stream. Once they knew they were out of the watchful eye of Molly, Harry took Ginny's had in his and continued to walk. They found a nice little spot behind a tree with plenty of shade and a good view of the stream.

Ginny remembered that thing Harry had said when they visited Teddy. She had been wanting to ask him for a while but this was the first time they had really been alone.

"Harry can I ask you something"

"Anything"

"What did you mean when you said 'I would look cute when I hold our kids'"

He smiled at her those green eyes of his looking right at her brown ones and he said "Just what it sounded like, you would look good when you carry our kids" he Paused for a moment took a deep breath on went on " Look Ginny, Before I didnt think I would live past the age of seventeen, now I know I will, and I will get to have a long live. And it would be pretty pointless if I don't have someone to share it with. And I want you to be the person I share it with"

Ginny was so happy with what she just heard, it was her dream come true, Harry telling her he wanted to spend his live with her. Her thoughts were interrupted when he took both her hands looked at her dead in the eyes and said "Ginny I love you"

Ginny felt so happy she could just die there on the spot, her eyes were watery this all she wanted, since she was a little girls, and during the war. She returned the look to him and said "I love you too Harry" No words were said for a while, but they were not needed at this time. They both held each other in a strong emotional embrace, that involved a very passionate kiss. They both remained there for a couple of hours kissing and talking about different things. Ginny told him she was ready to let her family know about them being together, and she wanted to do it that night at Dinner. Little did they know this would be a very eventful family dinner.

Harry was the one who decided it was time to head back and wash up for dinner, before Molly went out looking for them. Ginny agreed and got up and the both headed back. As they reached the gate to the Burrow Ginny said something that Harry had forgot "I wonder how my brothers will react to the announcement" Harry stood frozen he had completely forgotten about her brothers You're a dead man Potter is the only thing Harry kept thinking.

Ginny noticed Harry's reaction to her comment, and laughed "Harry relax I was only joking, they probably won't do anything... too bad" That last part was barely a whisper, but it is what Harry heard clearest.

As they entered the Kitchen they were greeted by a busy Molly who was cooking for the family. "Ginny, Harry there you Where are Ron and Hermione did you find them?"

Ginny was the one to respond since Harry was still getting over the mild shock Ginny had provoked him. "OH we searched everywhere but couldn't find them"

"OH well thats alright come help me with dinner Ginny, Harry you run along, and get some rest you look a little white" He didn't say anything he just did as he was told.

...

Ron and Hermione had returned a half hour before dinner, both looked as if they were hit by a twister, both of their clothes were wrinkled and there hair was a mess. After that everyone started to show up. First it was Bill with his wife, and Charlie who had been staying with them. Then George made his way down stairs followed by Harry who was still a little nervous, and it got even more intense when he say Bill and Charlie there. One was a curse breaker and there other was a dragon trainer. They last to arrive was Mr. Weasley along with Percy.

Mr. Weasley seemed to be in a very good mood he called for everyones attention "alright Weasleys family meeting in five everyone in the Kitchen"

Everyone but Harry and Hermione moved towards the kitchen, they thought since they didn't have the surname Weasley they would be excluded. A few moments later Mr. Weasley called for them to hurry up, this made them both happy knowing they were considered part of the family.

Hermione took the empty seat next to Ron, While Harry took one next to Ginny. As soon as they were seated Mr. Weasey began "Alright Weasleys, and Potter, and Granger" He said with a smile and wink "I have very good news, I met with the Minister today after I we left Harry at Gringotts and he gave me a promotion" There was a loud cheer and applause from everyone, Molly came over from the other end of the table and have him a giant kiss, the broke apart after they heard many of their children say "Ewww, come on Mum, dad" they were both blushing at this point. Mr. Weasley cleared his throat and continued "Yes. well sorry about that kid. But as I was saying the Minister Appointed me Deputy Minister, which makes me the second highest ranking ministry official" This got another round of applause. Bill stood up and summoned a bottle of firewhiskey, he poured a drink for everyone except Ginny who was still underage. And offered a toast to his father. This was a great deal for celebration, Mr. Weasley who never asked for much who was a hard working man and deserved this promotion more than anyone.

As Mr. Weasley took his seat he was about to call the meeting to order when Ginny stood up and and said she had something to add to the family meeting.

"Well everyone I too have news I would like to introduce my boyfriend to all of you" Everyone but Harry had a confused look on their face then Charlie and Bill who were the most protective spoke in unison "Where is he?" looking around.

"Hes right here" she said motioning to Harry. "Harry and I are a couple. Harry I like you to meet my family, this Is my older brother Bill and his wife Fleur, my second oldest Charlie, then theres Percy, George, and I'm sure you know Ron, and theses are my parents Molly and Arthur" Everyone was confused by this, Harry knew who everyone in the room once this wasn't his first time meeting them. Then he asked "Ummm. Gin I know your family i've met them before"

"I know silly, but i'm introducing you as my boyfriend" once everyone of her brothers heard the word boyfriend they flinched as if someone had said Voldemort's name.

Mr. Weasley who had a neutral facial expression this whole time sat there quietly observing everyone of his sons. He finally spoke "How long, how long have you two been a couple"

Harry who was still to nervous to talk left it up to Ginny to explain " Well you see dad Harry and I dated towards the end of my fifth year, but he called it off after Dumbledore's funeral. And we got back together a few days after the battle. We wanted to wait till all the funerals passed"

"I see, well I think we should eat dinner and we will discuss this later." A few moments later dinner was served. No one really said anything other than to ask someone to pass a side. Harry tried not to look around the table to much, mainly because everytime he did he caught the eye of one of Ginny's brothers who would be looking at him with a serious expression on their faces. At one point he was sure Bill was reaching for his wand to curse him.

The silence was broken by Molly who asked Hermione is she was already packed for her trip to Australia "Not Yet I still need to pack some small things" But after that nothing more was said for the remainder of dinner. After all the plates were cleared Mr. Weasley asked everyone to go to the living room. That short walk felt like an eternity for Harry he felt like a dead man walking. Once everyone was seated Molly went to go get some tea for everyone, Fleur volunteered to go help. Hermione who could feel this was a conversation she didn't want to witness said she was going to go finish packing. Mr. Weasley then asked Ginny to go help Hermione, Ginny was reluctant to leave Harry alone with her brothers a father, but by Mr weasley tone of voice he was not asking her. He was telling her. But before she left she looked at all her brothers and gave them all a warning " Be nice"

Once everyone was gone Mr. Weasley began "So Harry, what are your intentions with my baby Girl"

"Ohh ummm. Sir I know what you mean by that and it not like that. I truly care about Ginny and only have the best intention" Mr. Weasley sat in his chair looking at Harry and finally smiled "well then i'm glad to hear. Let me see how the tea is coming alone. Boys dont rough him up to much"

Harry wasn't quite out of the woods just yet he had to deal with five older, very angry looking brothers. Bill was the first to speak "I cant say i'm too thrilled about this Harry, but I did say that when the son of a bitch who wanted to date my baby sister was presented to me I would throw a killing curse at him and if he lived he would have my aproval. But since you've already have survived two of them there's not much I can do except say you better take care of her" Then he smiled and leaned back to let Charlie talk.

"Im with Bill Harry, i'm not sure I like my baby sister dating. I said that when a boy came around I would throw him in a cage with a Hungarian Horntail, but you have already dealt with one, so I have nothing. But im going to be watching you Potter" Next to speak was Percy.

"Well Harry I like my brothers I too had something planned for the boy who tried to date Ginny. I would duel them. But I'm no match for you, so I have nothing either. But know that if you hurt her i'm coming for you"

George who this whole time was smiling unlike his brothers "Harry, unlike my brothers im happy for both of you. But if you hurt her i'm sure Fred would come back and haunt you from the grave"

Harry was a little relieved that Ron was the last one "I've already told you how I feel mate. So theres not much for me to say, Except you better be good to her I see how she looks at you"

And with that everyone left to the kitchen except for Harry. He sat there trying to catch his breath That wasn't so bad... was it. He didn't hear when Mr. Weasley make his way back into the sitting room. "Harry theres one more thing I wanted to say but don't want to say it in front of my sons. Last summer after you broke up with Ginny I could tell something was wrong and it pained me as a father to see her in so much pain and not know why. Now I know why. So if you ever break her heart again you will have to deal with the consequences. Understood"

"Yes Sir" was all Harry was able to say, he stood up and he offered his hand to Mr. Weasley gladly accepted it.

Molly came in to join them and ask if Harry wanted some tea but before he was able to go into the kitchen he also had to deal with Molly. He was more nervous about Molly then anyone else "Harry Dear I just want to say how happy I am Ginny was able to find such a wonderful young man, she could not have picked any better" Harry was a little choked up from hearing this.

Twenty minutes after the conversation with the Weasley brothers Ginny came bolting into the kitchen looking for Harry.

"Relax sis, hes in once piece" George said with a grin on his face.

"Good, if not you all would have to deal with me" Ginny replied with a smile. She took the seat that was next to Harry, she took his hand and held it under the table and gave it a squeeze, He looked at her and the next thing he knew she gave him a big kiss on the lips causing everyone to go silent and Harry to go red. Molly upon seeing how red Harry was began to laugh, causing everyone to follow. Harry was still a little shy about public affection with her family around. But he knew it was a good sign and he had everyone's approval of his relationship with Ginny.

...

The next morning Hermione left to Australia via international porky, as well as Charlie who headed back to Romania. She promised to write as soon as she located her parents. Ron was in a somber mood after she left. This really showed just how much he cared about Her.

An hours after hermione had left George came down stairs and said he had decided to reopen the Shop, he asked Ron if he could go with him and fix the place up. This was to help Ron from missing Hermione too much.

This left Harry and Ginny on their own. They were in the sitting room, Molly who was out in the garden had no idea Ron and George had left. When Ginny was sure no one was in the house she stood up made her way towards Harry and sat on his lap.

"So Mr Potter what do you want to do today" She said as she began to play with his hair

What she didn't notice was that from the angel she was sitting Harry could clearly see down her shirt and he liked the view. He didn't even notice what she had said till he felt his head being pulled back. "Harry did you hear what I said"

"HUH, Oh yeah that sounds good" She let go of his head and he went back to what he was looking at trying to not make it too obvious. Only this time Ginny caught him "HARRY. My Eyes are up here"

Harry was embarrassed he got caught, but it was worth it. Ginny started to laugh "It ok,but now not the time she said with a wink. I have an Idea how about we go visit Teddy, im sure his grandma could use a break"

"Thats a great Idea Gin lets go tell your mum we're heading out"

Before they went to go tell Molly they were leaving Ginny stopped Harry and asked "So Harry did you like what you saw" Harry couldn't help but blush, he was so red he could make Ron look pale when he blushed. Ginny just laughed she knew the answer by the shade of red Harry turned.

And with that they were off to visit Teddy.
