A/N Thanks for the review VictoriaM2006, yeah, happy loves are happy lives I say!

New Lives

'Won't you regret this in the evening?'

The phrase rung in his head like a bell. He lay in bed next to Ginny, she was sleeping, oh how beautiful she was when she slept. No! He mustn't think that. What if she regretted it? Only a few months ago she was saying she wasn't ready for a serious relationship, however her head wasn't very screwed on back then, she seemed fine now. But what if she was drunk? No, drunk at a wedding, how silly. But that phrase, what if…

"Harry?"

Harry started and looked across to her, she was smiling, always good.

"How long have you been awake?" Ginny asked softly.

"Not long," He lied, "you?"

"Just woke up," She smiled again, "What time is it?"

"Er," Harry found his watch on the floor beneath the bed and looked at it, "Quarter past three."

"Oh, we've been gone for ages, we'd better get back," Ginny said, sitting up.

She held the cover to her chest as she tried to get out of her bed, but Harry was also naked, she seemed to forget, and he pulled the cover right back down over him, pulling it out of Ginny's grasp. He laughed at her jumping and ducking down under the bed.

"Harry! I need that!" She shouted at him.

"So do I! I'm naked too you know!" Harry laughed back at her.

Ginny popped her head up from behind the bed. "Why do you think I took it?" She said cheekily.

"Hey!" Harry bent over and hit her playfully on the head.

"Oi!" Ginny shouted and jumped up, but the moment she did…

"Argh!"

The door slammed and Harry and Ginny looked at each other worriedly.

Ginny wrapped a spare sheet from the floor around herself and walked to the door. She opened it slowly and saw her newly married brother standing and looking like he'd seen a ghost. She giggled playfully.

"You ok Ron?" She asked sarcastically.

"Erm, yeah," He stammered, not looking at her once, "Glad you and Harry made up."

"Oh Ron, come on, you and I used to have baths together!" Ginny said loudly.

"When I was about three!" Ron shouted back.

Ginny sighed and rolled her eyes, slamming the door in his face.

"Just came up to find you!" Ron shouted through the door. Harry and Ginny laughed loudly and Harry blushed red as she got dressed in front of him.

Soon they were both fully dressed again and they wandered downstairs, hand in hand. When they arrived downstairs, the reception of the wedding seemed to be in full swing, and Harry saw Hermione milling around talking to people, mostly people he didn't know. He told Ginny he was going to see her and walked off to find her in the crowds.

"Oh Harry!" Hermione said when he found her, "I'm so sorry about the reporters, we didn't know they were coming!" She said quickly.

"It's ok, I've forgotten about it," He replied, "Me and Ginny are back together!"

Hermione smiled warmly at him and gave him a big hug. "I know, Ron told me!" She giggled.

Harry felt the blood rush to his face and said, "Oh, right…" He quickly changed the subject, "But you! You're married!" He shouted over the noise hugging her and giving her a kiss on the cheek.

"I know, I'm so happy," Hermione said, tears in her eyes, "I have something to tell you tomorrow."

"What?" Harry asked curiously.

"Tomorrow!" She said.

Ginny turned up behind them at that point but Harry eyed Hermione suspiciously, and she mouthed 'Just you,' to him. He wondered what that meant, but soon forgot about it. With all the people he didn't know coming up to him and shaking his hand, and with the Weasley's congratulating him on getting back with Ginny, (Ron had obviously told ALL of them) he didn't have much time to think, and before he knew it, he was in bed again, late at night, going to sleep with Ginny; for the first time in his life, he was spending an entire night just by her side, peacefully.

"Oh I was never any good at this game!" Hermione cried out, throwing her broom on the floor.

"Hermione! Come on, you can do it, you're married to me!" Ron said to her, making her giggle.

It was the day after the wedding about five o'clock, and Harry, Ron, Hermione and Ginny were out in the garden trying to teach Hermione to play Quidditch. Fred and George had been there, but they needed to get back to their shop, which was all for the better because they were both making Hermione more aggravated each second.

"Ok, ok, I'm sure I'll get better with practice, but I'll call it a day for now," Hermione replied. The other three nodded and dismounted their brooms. While they were putting them away Hermione whispered to Ron, "Can we talk to Harry now?"

"You can talk to me whenever you want!" Harry said behind them, making them both jump.

"Er, mate, you want to come with us a second?" Ron said.

"Can't I come?" Ginny asked sadly.

"No, it's an original threesome thing," Ron replied tetchily.

Ginny walked away into the house in a huff, and Ron and Hermione led Harry around the corner, to walk down a wide, but still small lane behind their house.

"Where're we going?" Harry asked when they'd been walking for over five minutes.

"Just away from the Burrow," Hermione replied, "This should be far enough so they won't hear us."

Harry looked at the two of them suspiciously, wondering what it was that Mr and Mrs Weasley and Ginny couldn't hear.

"Right mate, err, well the thing is," Ron stammered.

"The thing is Harry," Hermione said for him, "I'm pregnant."

Harry's mouth fell open and he gawped like a fish at the two of them. Then what had just been said actually registered into his brain.

"Wow! That's amazing!" Harry shouted, realising that was why they had to get away from the house. He jumped and gave Hermione a hug, then looked at Ron and decided to give him a hug as well, what was the harm in that?

"But mate, we want you to be his Godfather," Ron said.

There was a sharp pain in Harry's heart at the word, but then a wide smile appeared on his face and he said, "I'd love to; I'll be the best there is!" Apart from Sirius, no one could come close to Sirius. But he swore right then and there, that when their baby started Hogwarts, he would be the one to right to him or her, and give them advice, just like Sirius had.

Hermione and Ron smiled at him, almost hearing his thoughts. They stood for a few minutes talking, and eventually went back to the Burrow, where Hermione told the family he news, and where Mrs Weasley ended up crying again.

It had been about three months since Hermione's announcement, and she was beginning to get quite fat now. She was showing for a while, but now she was looking rather large. Ron and Hermione lived on their own now, receiving money for their house from Hermione's father, as they were both in the process of getting jobs. Ron was looking to work in the ministry, and Hermione, working in the library in Diagon Ally, maybe some day a publisher for some company.

Harry was still living at the Burrow with Ginny. It was very odd without Ron there, but he got used to it after a while, but he still felt like a friend of the family, even though he had proposed to Ginny and they were getting married in two months. He had proposed simply, under the stars in a field near the Burrow, because Ginny loved stars. She had fallen apart and said yes immediately, before telling him that she was also pregnant. He had suspected she was before this though, because he only proposed two months after the wedding, and she also had a small bump. Hermione was ahead of her, she was pregnant one month before she and Ron got married. She and Ginny had made it into a playful joke when Ginny told them, about who will have the baby first.

On this cold night in February, Harry was reading papers to try and find and advertisements of houses anywhere, when he came across an article that grabbed his attention.

He sat reading it intently until Ginny came into the room with a glass of Butterbeer for him.

"They haven't found any Death Eaters yet," Harry said as Ginny put down his glass and sat behind him on the bed.

"But they found loads when you first defeated Voldemort," Ginny said, looking down at the article.

"Yeah, that was months ago, almost a year," Harry explained, "They were still trying to find some, like Bellatrix, Malfoy, that lot," Harry considered for a while, "I should have caught him when I got the chance at his house."

"You weren't to know," Ginny reasoned.

"I knew he was a Death Eater, but that wasn't on my mind at the time I suppose," Harry replied.

"No, it wasn't."

Harry rubbed his scar out of distressed habit and leant back, his ear on Ginny's lower stomach.

"You would've caught the buggers wouldn't you mate?" Harry said into her stomach, and she giggled.

"Oh well, another adventure for another day I suppose," He said, taking off his top.

"What're you doing?" Ginny asked.

"Getting ready for bed, what else?" Harry replied sleepily.

"I just brought you a Butterbeer!" She said.

"Leave it for tomorrow, I'm going to sleep," He answered, getting under the covers, moving Ginny aside.

"Ok then."

Ginny got up and changed into her pyjamas, then joined Harry in bed. Harry leaned over and turned the light off, then turned round and put his hand on Ginny's stomach again.

"I love you mate," He said.

"I still think it's a girl," Ginny said to him.

Harry merely shrugged and said, "Goodnight Gin, I love you."

"I love you too, goodnight."

A/N I think it was a pretty chapter, don't you? Very sweet. Anyways, big chapter next, should be very long and the last. If it's too long I'll try and make it into two chapters. But then they will both be quite short. Anyway whatever it is, it's going to finish soon. Please review; and I hope you're ready for an action scene!
