Harry and Ginny didn't talk much as they waited for Augusta and Neville to arrive. Harry debated whether to fire-call Sirius and Remus, but finally decided to wait.

Half an hour later, Augusta and Neville arrived by the Portkey. Ginny tensed. Harry moved to greet them, and ushered them into the lounge area.

"Your home looks lovely, Mr Potter," said Augusta, looking around.

"Gran, now is not the time," said Neville, tersely.

"Please, call me Harry," said Harry, offering his hand to her. He nodded at Neville, who was standing close to Ginny. Too close for Harry's liking.

"Harry and I got our memories back yesterday, just before we came to the funeral. Gran told me she and Dumbledore performed the charm on Ron, you and me about three days after we lost our families," said Neville, gently.

Ginny nodded.

"Sirius performed the charm on me the next day. I-we thought you and Ron had been killed too," said Harry.

Ginny saw the sadness in his eyes and nodded. She turned to Augusta. "Do it. Now."

Ginny sat down and Augusta Longbottom moved to stand in front of her. She waved her wand, and Ginny bowed her head. Neville and Harry waited tensely at either side of her.

Augusta stepped back. "It's done."

Ginny let out a gasp as all the memories returned. "I remember. Merlin, I remember. Oh no. My family..." She broke off, weeping.

Harry moved closer, but Neville was quicker. He gathered Ginny in his arms and held her. "Ssh, we're here, Ginny."

"I lost so much that night," wept Ginny.

"I know. We all did," crooned Neville, rocking her.

"I wanted to die too. I was afraid," wept Ginny.

"Me too," admitted Neville. "Everything I knew and loved was gone. I was just glad to have you and Ron to help me get through," said Neville, with tears in his eyes.

"So many good, decent people were lost," said Ginny, shaking his head. "It was so wrong."

"They were betrayed," said Harry, softly.

Neville and Ginny swung their eyes to him. "What?" asked Neville.

"Pettigrew. He was at the meeting, and heard all the plans. Then he went and told Voldemort," said Harry, bitterly.

"But...but he was friends with your parents. How could he do that? To them, to you?" asked Ginny, shocked.

"He was weak. Voldemort knew it and exploited it. What made it worse was he was the secret keeper for our house at Godric's Hollow. Sirius knew everyone would think it was either him or Remus, so at the last minute, they changed it to Pettigrew."

"Pretty much left the door open for Voldemort to walk right in," said Neville, angrily. "Merlin, I want to kill him. Is he-is he dead?"

"Yes. He was killed in the final battle," said Harry, not offering any more details.

"Good," said Neville, vehemently.

Just then an owl came through the window. Harry took the note off his leg and read it. "Sirius, Remus and Tonks are at Grimmauld Place if you want to go and see them, or see the house. We were there yesterday, when they removed our memories," said Harry, indicating him and Neville.

"First time since ...that night."

Ginny thought, then nodded. "Let's go," she said.

She looked at Neville. "Will you come?"

He nodded. They both looked at Harry, who led the way to the floo.

They arrived at Grimmauld Place. Harry grabbed Ginny's hand and took her through to the kitchen. There was nobody there. They went to go up the stairs.

Ginny said sadly, "This was the last place I saw my uncles. Remember, Harry? They teased me because I was holding your hand. You were feeling sick, so we came downstairs to get your mum."

Harry nodded. "That's right. I was feeling really hot, and my throat hurt. You looked after me, when we were upstairs. I lay my head on your lap, and you ran your fingers through it."

Ginny nodded, her eyes filling with tears. "I was waiting for Mum to come back to take me to Aunt Muriels. I was supposed to stay there until Dad and the boys got over their dragon-pox."

"Ron was coming to stay at our house. When your mum and uncles were late, Gran took you home with us to wait," said Neville.

They started walking up the stairs, sharing their memories of that night.

"Ron and I were trading chocolate frog cards when you got there, Harry," said Neville.

"Merlin, he had about two hundred of them," laughed Harry.

"And I was riding around on...Uncle Sirius?" said Ginny, as she stood in the door to the room where they played that night.

Sirius turned around. A look of shock was on his face. He gulped. "G-Ginny? Little Ginny?"

Ginny nodded, then ran to him. He met her in the middle of the room, and they hugged each other tightly.

"I can't believe you're here," she kept saying over and over.

"Little Ginny. Look at you now," teased Sirius.

A cough behind them made them step aside. "Remus?" asked Ginny.

Remus nodded, and Ginny went over and hugged him. "I can't believe I never met you when I was little, and now you've married my best friend."

"I know. It seems incredible, doesn't it?" laughed Remus.

"Harry always used to talk about his uncles Moony and Padfoot," said Ginny, throwing Harry an affectionate look over her shoulder.

Tonks came over to Ginny and hugged her too. "All right, Kitten?" she asked softly.

"I'm great, Tonks. Today, I've got my family back," said Ginny, hugging her.

Tonks stepped back and stood next to Remus, who threw his arm over her shoulders. "Look, why don't we get out of here and go somewhere...less dreary? We'll get lunch, and have drinks, and have a real reunion. What do you say? Back to our hotel?"

Ginny looked at Harry and Neville, and nodded. "I just want to floo over and see my brother, Bill. Meet you there?"

Harry and Neville nodded. Ginny hugged them all over again, and flooed to Shell Cottage. Harry watched her go.

Back at Grimmauld Place, Neville turned to Harry. "It's you, isn't it? You and Ginny? I knew she had met someone..."

Harry nodded. Sirius looked stunned. "When did all this happen?" he asked.

"The night of the engagement party," admitted Harry.

"But...you were wearing a glamour," said Sirius.

"So was she," burst in Tonks.

"You knew about this?" asked Remus. Tonks nodded, a big smile on her face.

"Exactly how far has this gone?" asked Sirius.

"Uh..." muttered Harry, a blush on his face.

"Really! What happened to no more indiscriminate fu-er, hook-ups?" asked Sirius, with a wink of his eye.

"It's not like that," said Harry, angrily; quickly.

"Okay," said Sirius, his tone, disbelieving.

"Really. It's more than that. She's more than that. She's the one, Padfoot," smiled Harry, thinking about Ginny.

"The one? You mean, The One? You and Ginny? Oh, this is so good. I used to tease Prongs and Arthur about you two," said Sirius, hugging Harry.

"You did?" asked Harry.

"And Frank," reminded Remus.

"Yeah, well, she was bound to end up with one of you," said Sirius.

Neville and Harry laughed.

"I love her like a sister," reassured Neville, slapping Harry on the back.

"I definitely don't," said Harry.

Sirius let out a bark of laughter. "Come on, let's get out of here. We've got a family reunion to set up for. See you back at the hotel."

He, Remus and Tonks departed. Neville and Harry looked at each other, smiling. "I hope Ginny's okay at Bill's," said Neville.

"Maybe I should head over there," suggested Harry.

Neville nodded. "For what it's worth, I'm happy for you and Gin. You both deserve the best. I'm just sorry we didn't get to all stay together when ...you know."

"Yeah, I know. Me too. And for what it's worth, it does mean a lot to me. I haven't exactly talked to Gin about this yet," said Harry, sheepishly.

Neville laughed. "Maybe you better head to Shell Cottage and talk to her before she gets to the celebrations. Otherwise Sirius will be -"

"Yeah, yeah, I hear you. Okay, I'll see you at the hotel. Room 577. Name of the hotel is-"

"I know, Tonks told me. Go," laughed Neville, pushing Harry towards the floo.

"Shell Cottage," called Harry, flooing away.

He arrived on a beach front. Turning around he saw a house, the only one for miles. He liked the seclusion. He headed for it, knocking on the door and going in.

"Hello? It's Harry. Ginny, are you here?"

"In here, Harry," called Ginny's voice.

He made his way towards Ginny's voice. He saw the two children he had met at the Quidditch match.

"Er, hello," said Harry.

"Hi. We had a sleepover last night," said the girl.

"Mummy and Uncle Bill had a sleepover too. They're talking to Aunt Ginny about it," said the boy.

With a start, Harry realised that these were Ron's children. In fact, if he remembered correctly, the boy's name was Ron, too.

"Ron, right?" asked Harry. Ron nodded. Harry shook his hand. "Will you take me to Aunt Ginny, please?"

"I will. I'm Rose. Are you Auntie Ginny's boyfriend?" she giggled.

Harry smiled at her and nodded, following her into the small kitchen. He saw the man with the scarred face, and the woman with the bushy hair. Ginny was seated at the table.

"Hi, I was worried about you," said Harry, sitting next to her. He nodded at the man.

"Hey, I remember you from the Quidditch match. Harry, right?" he asked.

Harry nodded.

"Harry Potter," said Ginny, taking his hand and smiling at him.

Bill and Hermione gasped. "Merlin, is it, is it really you?"

Harry nodded. "I don't think we ever really met, Bill. You were away at Hogwarts most of the times I was at the Burrow."

"Yeah. You were just another little kid running around with Ron and Gin. You and Nev," said Bill.

"You were friends with Ron? He never told me that," said Hermione. "Tea?"

Harry shook his head. "It was because of the memory charms. They took away the memory of our friendships, so it just appeared to us that we lost our families on the same day."

"Let's get back to the two of you," interrupted Ginny. "Sleepovers?"

"Ah, yes, well, what can we say? We've wanted to tell you for some time. We thought after the Quidditch finals. It's still fairly new to us, too."

"What? What are you talking about?" asked Harry.

"Us," said Hermione, bringing Bill a cup of tea and placing a hand on his shoulder. He placed an arm around her waist.

"They're together," said Ginny. "And they didn't think they could tell me, which really pisses me off."

"Now, Gin, we didn't want-"started Bill.

"Ginny, please understand-"said Hermione at the same time.

Ginny held up her hand to stop them. "All I can say is, it's about time."

Bill and Hermione's mouth's dropped open. "Really? That's it!" squeaked Hermione.

Ginny nodded. "You two have spent a lot of time together with the kids, helping each other out. It's only natural you'd grow close."

"So, you're okay with it?" asked Bill.

Ginny shrugged. "It's not up to me, but, yeah. You're both my family, and I want you to be happy. The fact that you're together is great."

Bill smiled, and pulled Hermione onto his lap. "I told you she'd be all right with us," he said, planting a kiss on her cheek.

"Bill, please," said Hermione, looking embarassed.

"It's just Gin," said Bill, grinning.

"And Harry Potter," said Hermione. "Hero of the wizarding world."

Ginny scoffed. "Nah. Just Harry is fine."

She took Harry's hand in hers again. "With the memory charms lifted, I remembered everything from that night. I know Harry was an important part of my past. I loved his family as I did my own. I've seen Sirius again. It almost felt like getting a parent back."

"I met Ginny at Remus and Tonks engagement party. At the time, neither of us knew who the other was, as we were both using glamours and alias'. But somehow, despite all that, well, here we are," said Harry, lifting Ginny's hand and kissing the back of it.

Hermione and Bill looked at them. "Oh my God, that's great news!" they cried.

"We're having a bit of a family reunion at the hotel where we've been staying. You're welcome to join us," said Harry.

"Oh, we're waiting for Vicky to come home. She's spent some time in France, with Fleur's parents. She's due in another hour or so. Maybe another time? We'll have you guys here for tea, right love?" asked Bill, looking at Hermione.

Hermione's expression softened at the endearment. "Right," she said.

Ginny looked amused. "Okay. I'll be in touch. I need to let you know about the Quidditch finals, anyway. Owl you soon," she said, standing.

Harry stood up and shook Bill's hand. He followed Ginny out of the house, stopping to farewell the children.

They reached the Apparition site. "Ready to celebrate?" he asked, drawing her close.

Ginny looped her arms around his shoulders. "For the rest of our lives."

Harry palmed the back of her head and kissed her hard, side-Apparating as he did so.
