"Ginny! I'm home," Harry called loudly as he and Fred entered the house, "and I have a surprise!"

"I'm in the lounge, love," she replied back at normal volume.

"Love?" Fred questioned his impish grin returning knowing full well that was his sister.

"Umm," Harry said suddenly feeling very awkward. "Yeah, we're married."

"Brilliant!" Fred exclaimed

"Brilliant?" Harry repeated. "Your brother's were all but ready to skin me alive."

"I bet George that you two would end up married," he replied as Harry led him into the living room. "You guys are made for each oth-"

"Fred!"

Harry and Fred had just walked into the crowded living room. Lily and Dora were sitting with their husbands on the sofa. Sirius in an armchair and Ginny sitting on the floor by the fire or at least she was. She had stood up when Harry and Fred entered; she ran forward and threw herself at him, sobbing into his shirt. Fred sank to the floor by the door, with Ginny in his arms, he held her until her sobs stopped. Everyone had waited in silence, smiling slightly.

"I missed you so much," she said.

"Yeah the better looking twin," Fred teased.

"You're identical, silly," Ginny said laughing weakly.

"I'm still better looking," Fred said.

Ginny laughed as she pulled away to stand up and walked towards Harry and wrapped her arms around his neck, kissed him before saying; "Welcome home, love."

"Hello, honey," Harry kissed her again before turning to everyone else. "Hello everyone."

Everyone either said (Lily, Dora and Remus) or cheered (Sirius and James) hello and then sat watching him.

Lily spoke first; "so how was your day?"

"Boring, it was just paperwork until Fred here turned up," Harry grinned. "He decided to make a few jokes on the way. He's Ginny's brother, by the way."

"And see that clears up her reaction," James chuckled grinning at Ginny who was back in Fred's hug.

"Harry?" Remus asked. "If I remember this house correctly, and I think I do, we won't all fit here, even with some of us sharing rooms."

"Don't worry," Harry said. "I thought about that while I was doing the paper work - it was really easy paperwork it didn't need much brain work." he added quickly as Lily opened her mouth. "Since all the rooms here are taken, we'll all, including the kids, go to Potter Manor. There's more than enough room there. Fred?"

"Yeah, Harry?" he looked away from Ginny.

"You'll be staying with us too, okay?" Harry said, Fred nodded.

"Why?" Ginny asked, looking between her husband and brother.

"It's a surprise, Gin," Harry said.

Ginny groaned, "but I hate surprises."

"But that's because you're impatient," Ginny huffed and Sirius tried not laugh – he was sure Lily and James this conversation daily.

"Go take those boys out flying," she said smiling knowing Harry was teasing her

"Gone," Harry said walking out the door and up the stairs.

Ginny looked out the window then and only then realised it was dark; she got up and ran to the door and yelled after him. "Don't you dare take them flying in the dark, Harry Potter!"

"I wasn't planning on it!" he called back. "Ginny Potter."

Shaking her head at her husband, she turned to see everyone looking at her amused.

"What?" she asked.

"Nothing," most mumbled. Ginny huffed.

"Lily, James I think you might find some of your old clothes in the basement, they may be slightly too small but they'll do for now," Ginny took charge and they nodded. "Conjure a trunk and put two-three days of clothing in."

"Okay," Lily said before she and James disappeared from the room.

"Fred," she turned to her brother. "Something tells me that Harry doesn't want mum to see you yet, so I'll quickly nip over to the burrow and steal some without her noticing."

Fred nodded although he looked confused.

"Sirius, Remus, Dora," she said turning to them when she noticed her husband standing in the doorway with Teddy, James and Albus standing just behind. Ginny could see Remus and Dora trying not to run to their son and hold him. They quickly turned away before he could recognise them.

"There's some in the basement for them too," he smiled and led the boys into the back garden.

"Well, there you go," Ginny said. "I'm sure you two remember where it is?"

Remus and Sirius nodded, and left - Remus taking Dora's arm to bring her with him. Ginny went upstairs with Fred to pack her own, Harry's and the kids.

"Sooo," said Fred.

Ginny looked at him once she closed her bedroom door. Fred was sat on the bed looking at her with wide eyes.

"You're married to Harry and have three boys?" he asked. "Although the eldest looks way too old to be yours."

Ginny started putting things in a trunk but still answered him, "No, the younger two boys are mine and Harry's: James and Albus."

"Good names" he teased. "So who's the other kid?"

"Harry's godson," Ginny replied smiling slightly as she added some of Harry's clothes. "Teddy Remus Lupin."

"Oh, I remember him, funny little kid" said Fred, looking slightly relieved. "So you have your own two children and your husband's godson to look after."

"Yes and no," she said, looking a bit nervous. She stopped packing and sat down next to him, taking his hand. "I take care of them, with Harry's help, but I don't have two children. I have two boys, well, three if you count Teddy, which I do."

Fred looked confused so she kept talking.

"We have a little girl, Lily; she's younger than the boys. So technically Harry and I have four children."

Fred stared at her wide eyed as she let go of his hand and continued packing. Somehow he'd never imagine Ginny as a Mum of many children. Maybe one or two but certainly not four.

Soon everyone was ready; Ginny had gone to the Burrow and gotten Fred some clothes without raising her mothers' suspicion, which was a challenge. They were gathered in the living room with a trunk per couple - Sirius and Fred had their own - they were all going to Floo to Potter Manor, a trunk at a time. The kids stood to the side, watching everyone carefully. Lily Luna holding onto Harry's hand in a death grip, something everyone thought was adorable.

"She's a Daddy's girl?" Lily asked

"Since day one," Ginny laughed, "and she has him wrapped around her finger."

No one knew the kids names yet, except Fred, Harry hadn't had time to explain it all to them yet, adults and kids, he planned to do that at the Manor, so to them Lily Luna was Little Red Riding Hood (Lily's idea), James Sirius was JJ (Sirius's idea) and Albus was HJ, (Dora's idea). Teddy, Teddy was RJ, keeping with the theme, (Dora's idea again). Right now with Teddy falling asleep on Harry's other arm, even though he was sixteen, he did look like Remus, it was the only time you could tell what his real appearance was. His eyes you couldn't see with him falling asleep but when he was younger he had Dora's eyes but with amber flecks in them. James and Albus were leaning on each other; it was a rather cute scene.

When it was time to leave Ginny woke the two Potter boys up and took their hands. They went first followed by Harry, Lily Luna and Teddy, but by that time Teddy was fast asleep so Harry picked him up, how Harry managed to pick a sixteen year old boy up, no one could understand, but Harry was glad that Teddy was still light and that he was stronger because of being an Auror, while Lily Luna held her father's elbow. Lily and James came next, followed by Remus and Dora who smiled at their son fast asleep in Harry's arms, then Sirius and Fred.
