"Well, how do you like this flat?" Amelia asked when the couple approached her.
"I actually would like to buy it, what was the price again?"
"200,000 galleons."
"Okay, I'll buy it then." Ginny chuckled at Harry's awkwardness.
"Alright then, I'll have to have you return to my office and sign the paper work." Amelia held out a badge with a blue veil on it. The two grabbed it and landed in the real estate office that they were in just an hour and a half ago. "Okay let's go get the paper work done and then the house is yours."
They went back into the cramped office and sat in the same seats as before. After an hour of signing the same thing over and over again, the couple left the real estate office.
"Hey Gin, I don't really want the furniture that is in Grimmauld Place. I was wondering if you'd mind shopping for furniture tomorrow." Ginny nodded her head then a confused expression crept onto her face.
"Wait, why not now?"
"Because its 6:30 and you should be home for your family dinner." Ginny gasped.
"Oh my god, it's already the evening. But the day went by so fast. Harry, you know Mum will want you to stay for dinner right?" Harry nodded his head.
"But I already took you away for a day. I don't want to intrude. So I'll drop you off and say good night to the family." Ginny shook her head.
"You wish it would be that simple. Mum won't let you get by that easy. She'll keep you until every pub in Britain is closed for the night." Harry chuckled under his breath. Ginny was absolutely right, her mum wasn't going to let him eat Kreacher's food either. Harry and Ginny held hands and they apparated back to the Burrow.
"Mum, I'm home!" Ginny called out from the foyer.
"Is Harry there with you? I can't let him leave without having dinner with us first!"
"Yeah he's here." Then, Ginny turned to Harry and whispered, "Told you so." They walked into the kitchen where Molly was cooking.
"Oh, how was your day, dears?"
"It was good, Mum. Harry is going to move out of Grimmauld Place and move to another flat that's a lot cleaner and cheerful." Molly nodded.
"It's about time, Harry! Have you bought it?"
"Yeah he bought it today. Then we went to a meeting with Kingsley. And also went to meet little Teddy! Can I say how much cuter he is since we last saw him, Mum!"
"Wait, you saw him before?" Harry asked completely confused.
"Harry, when we were in hiding with Remus and Tonks. We were one of the firsts to see the baby." Ginny said. I forgot to tell him that, didn't I. He's going to think that I'm not telling him things. He told me basically, his life story after the battle. And I can't tell him a small fact. What does he think of me? She thought to herself.
"Oh. No wonder he seemed so familiar and relaxed with you." Harry said smiling at her. He's not mad! Thank you, Merlin!
"Alright well, dinner will be ready in ten minutes. Everyone else is in the living room." Harry and Ginny nodded and left to go into the living room.
"Oh, you're home! How was your day?" Ron asked with a sly grin on his face.
"What are you playing at?" Ginny asked.
"Oh, just a new issue of the Daily Prophet came out today." Hermione starting scowling at her boyfriend for joking about the revolting article.
"What? But what was it about?"
"Oh just you two, and your new home."
"Our new home. You mean Harry's new home, right?"
"According to the Daily Prophet it's for the two of you." George and Charlie started to laugh at Harry's confusion towards what Ron was saying. "How about you read it." Ron handed him a copy.
The Chosen One and Someone New?
We have some interesting news on our Savior of the Wizarding Worlds personal life. We all thought that Potter was going through a type of depression, but is there someone who is helping him. Ginevra Weasley, Ron Weasley's sister, seems to be catching Potter's eye. But why would Potter choose her? He could get any girl but, he dates her? We caught a picture of the couple in Diagon Alley today. They were going to Mademoiselle Market, to buy real estate. We followed the couple into the office and found them talking to the one and only Amelia Frankfort. Frankfort was willing to tell us all the details about this couple, "Yes, I could tell that they were a couple. They seemed happy together, like they were in love. They came in wanting a Temporary flat. I will not tell you where it is because that is confidential. When they went to see the houses, they never stopped holding hands and whispering in low voices. I'm almost absolutely sure that they bought the flat for the two of them. I remember them saying something about getting away from Ginevra's family." But why would he choose her? We believe that she is spiking his morning pumpkin juice with love potion. Or could she be confunding him of some sort. Maybe even one of the unforgivable curses. We will be following them to see where Potter's new house is, and if she is living with him. More reports soon.
Harry looked up at the Weasley family. They all were wearing an unreadable expression, like they were waiting for some sort of confession.
"Almost everything in there is a lie." Harry said completely calm. He was telling the truth. They could even slip him Veritiserum and he would be saying the exact same thing.
"Well, can you tell us which parts are the truth and which parts are lies?"
"I'll start with the lies. First and fore most, that flat is just for me while I'm in auror training. I can't live in Grimmauld Place anymore. Then, Ginny never said anything about leaving you guys. Where Ginny lives never even came up. The truths are that we're a couple… I think everyone knows that. Um, when we were looking at the flats, yes, me and Ginny were speaking in hushed voices because of Amelia listening in." Harry finished then Ron turned to Ginny.
"So what about you?"
"What about me?"
"Have you spiked Harry's pumpkin juice or Confunded him or even used one of the three unforgivable curses?" Ginny was totally and utterly offended that her own brother would ask something like that.
"No! Why would I do that? First of all, the Carrows didn't get around to teaching us that, because they spent too much time on the Cruciatus curse. Second of all, I don't sink that low to get a boy to like me back. And lastly, I've always thought that those stupid love potions were barbaric." Ron's ears turned red. He shouldn't have crossed Ginny's lines.
"Dinner's ready!" Molly's voice rang through the living room.
"Alright, Ron drop it, Ginny don't you dare bat-bogey hex him. And Harry, are you staying for dinner?" Arthur asked, Harry looked at Ginny.
"Yes, he is if he likes it or not." Harry sighed; he knew he couldn't win this battle. So he just surrendered and ate with the Weasleys. Everyone took their seats at the dinner table. It had been the same seating arrangements as before.
"So, Harry, you said you were going out for auror training. When did you make that decision?" Arthur said between all the munching of food. Everyone went silent.
"Well, it hasn't been official yet. I mean, I don't want to go back to Hogwarts. And I want to be an auror. I was actually going to ask Ron what his decision was." Everyone turned to Ron.
"Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. I was going to go to auror training if you were. I was planning on bringing it up after dinner, but…" Hermione then gasped.
"But, don't you two want to finish your years at Hogwarts? I mean you could learn so much this year. And you can take your examinations and everything so you would be even a better fit to be aurors." Hermione kept talking faster and faster.
"Mione, I was never good at school. I don't want to go back and fail my examinations and have this opportunity to be thrown out the window."
"I know that but, then we wouldn't be together for an entire year."
"You're going back to school?"
"Yes, of course, I would like to finish my education."
"But are you going to become an auror. Kingsley did ask you, didn't he?"
"Yes, he did. But I don't want to be an auror. I mean it seems cool and everything. But the 'saving the world' thing is more up your guys' alleyway. I think I would like to take SPEW to the next level. Or help from the sidelines, you know, like Magical Law enforcement." Everyone but Harry and Ginny were shocked in what Hermione's plans were.
"I didn't expect the last part about SPEW. But I could predict everything else." Ginny said laughing at her thought.
"Well, not that last year was fun… I guess, and don't take this the wrong way, Harry. But I was only fighting to help Harry and Ron. I planned on stopping after the war was over."
"It's okay Hermione. I don't mind. It's your decision." Harry said smiling. It made Hermione feel at ease that he didn't find that offensive. She meant what she said, and it was a great learning experience for her. She just couldn't help but hate to fight.
"Well, what about you, Ginny?"
"Why do you always take things back to me, Ron?"
"Because you have been staying silent this entire time."
"Well, I plan on going back to Hogwarts. Mainly because mum would murder me if I didn't. Then I plan on playing Quidditch."
"That seems reasonable. But, I've never even seen you play Quidditch before. You can't be fit to play with the pros." Charlie said, while Percy and Bill nodded.
"Oi, she was the reason we won the House Cup sixth year. Well, she shot about seventeen goals, while I blocked nearly everyone that came my way. But still we wouldn't have won without her."
"Wait, didn't Harry catch the snitch?" George said calling out on Ron's left out details.
"No. Harry decided to get detention with Snape that day." Ginny said in a frightening tone. She rolled her eyes as he turned red.
"Wow, you Potter's know how to get on teachers' bad sides before games, don't you?" Arthur said laughing.
"What do you mean? Did my dad do that too?"
"Yes, I think it was fifth year and seventh year for him. He got detention before the big game, which sacrificed the big game."
"Like father like son, except this time the Weasleys saved the day!" Ron said leaning back in his chair.
"Ron, sit up!" Molly said sternly.
"Yes, Mum." Ron said quickly cowering to his mother and sitting up. Hermione chuckled at it, such a scaredy-cat.
