A/N: After the last chapter, I received such a huge compliment and it honestly made my whole week, so thank you truly if you take the time to comment. I know you don't always have the time or energy to but when you do I always read it, even if I don't reply and it is the best thing.

I made an overview of all my OCs of this story when I was writing and Oscar's description says "kind of an *sshat", do with that information what you will lol

Harry walked into the conference room of the auror department after lunch. He had rather taken a nap now, but instead he had to do with a mug of tea. Ron walked in too and sat down beside him.

"Are you coming to dinner tonight?" Ron asked. Harry frowned at him.

"You know we have the wedding planning," he said. Ron looked a little surprised.

"Wasn't that on Saturday?" Ron answered him.

"Yes, but your mum thinks we need all weekend," Harry nodded. Ron shook his head in amusement.

"Of course, I forgot what Bill's wedding was like."

Olliver came to sit beside them. The three of them chatted while they waited for Jennifer and Tobias to come in.

"Okay team, we have been assigned an important project," Jennifer started as Tobias started handing them folders with information. They looked as Jennifer made several photos and snippets appear on the bulletin board behind her.

"We have a group of suspected death eaters that have been underground for almost a year now. They are suspected to be behind several attacks on muggles and muggleborns. We will collect information about them, track them. We are hoping to catch them in the act, currently we have nothing tangible to arrest them for."

They flipped through the folder to get more detailed information.

"Jennifer?" Olliver asked, looking at one of the photos, "Is this person identified?"

He turned the folder towards her and pointed at the picture. She shook her head.

"I know him, he used to come to Borgin and Burkes," Olliver said. Jennifer asked if he remembered his name. He had to think about it.

"Max? I think. No clue about his last name, we weren't supposed to ask."

Jennifer nodded and added his name to the board, "It is better than nothing."

Harry noticed the name appeared on the photo Olliver had pointed to earlier.

"All the folders will be updated as we add things to the board, this way we can always work with the latest information," Tobias clarified when he saw Harry looking. Harry flipped open his folder and sure enough, the name had been added to his too.

They all set to work, reading reports, witness statements and newspaper articles, trying to connect the dots. Some things were added on the board, some were shifted around but overall they did not make that much progress. Harry was comparing a statement with a news article when there was a knock on the door. All five of them looked up. Neville opened the door and Ginny appeared from behind him, looking around the room until her eyes landed on Harry, who was already smiling at her.

"I was done early, thought I'd stop by…" she said awkwardly to the room, "I'll wait outside with Neville."

"We will be done in a few minutes," Jennifer said to Harry's relief. He couldn't wait to get out. Neville waved at them and took Ginny with him, closing the door again. Harry continued with the article and made a few notes but gave up on doing any real work. He was all the happier when Jennifer stood up, giving a few final notes before letting them go for the day.

Harry grabbed the folder, Ron lagging behind him. He was going to drop it at his desk first but then changed course. Harry spotted Ginny chatting with Neville and Oscar. He had not forgotten about Oscar's comment when they had made it into the newspapers that first time. He approached Ginny and wrapped an arm around her, coming to stand beside her. It was maybe a little possessive but he couldn't resist it. It felt even more satisfactory when she leaned into him instinctively.

"What are we talking about?" he asked casually.

"Just asking Neville if he was bringing a date to our wedding," Ginny smiled, Neville blushed.

"You are bringing Hannah, right?" Harry asked.

Neville nodded, "Yeah, it has been going pretty steadily. Let's hope it stays that way."

Harry reassured him, Hannah seemed to match with him well from what Harry had seen.

"Are you ready?" Ginny asked, turning her attention to him.

Harry nodded, "Just need to drop this off at my desk." He waved the folder. Ginny followed him to his desk.

"What was that guy's name again?" Ginny asked as soon as they were out of earshot.

"That is Oscar," Harry replied and Ginny almost turned around but Harry stopped her. Harry dropped the folder in a drawer and closed it, tidying up the rest of his desk while Ginny waited.

"Wait, was that jealousy with Oscar earlier?" she suddenly turned back to him.

"..."

"Oh sweetie, you have nothing to worry about. Also, I was literally talking about our wedding to him," Ginny reassured him. Harry did not reply but a smile danced around his lips.

Harry looked over the wall of his cubicle to Ron's desk two cubicles away but couldn't spot him.

"Did you see where Ron went? He said he'd wait for us," Harry looked back at Ginny, who shrugged. Harry could not spot him so he decided to head towards the exit and see if he found Ron on the way. To his surprise he found him coming back towards the Auror Department, Hermione in tow.

"Oh! What are you doing here?" Ginny asked her. Hermione turned slightly red.

"I thought we could all meet here and go from here," she said. Harry raised an eyebrow at her and looked at Ron, but he was avoiding eye contact.

"You are a bad liar," Harry told Hermione. Ron looked at her.

"Go on, tell them,' he smiled at her. Hermione gave in.

"I've been applying to jobs at the ministry, you know like I've been telling Kingsley…"

Harry smiled, he was not surprised in the least.

"Why didn't you tell us?" Ginny asked, signing to her and Harry.

"Well, you have so much going on, you have your first game soon and you are planning a wedding… I didn't want to steal your spotlight," Hermione explained.

"Hermione, you are important to us, please share this with us in the future so we can cheer you on!" Ginny told her firmly as the four of them started walking towards the exit.

"Besides, I think we could do with a little less spotlight," Harry added.

They all settled down around the table after lunch on Saturday, Mr and Mrs Weasley, Harry, Ginny, Ron and Hermione to discuss wedding plans. This was the first actual meeting they had about it and Harry wasn't entirely sure what to expect. They first went over the things Ginny and Harry had already discussed. One of them was that they weren't going to use The Burrow as a venue. Mrs Weasley immediately had some objections.

"Mrs Weasley, we want you to be able to relax," Harry said.

"Please, Harry, call me Molly," she said and Harry smiled at her, "and venues cost a lot of money. And what about safety?"

"Mum, I want you to be there with us, not arranging and ordering people around. I got a pretty big signing bonus and Harry has some savings, so that is not a concern."

Molly didn't seem too convinced by this but she did not object.

"Actually, the auror department said they would cover security, as a wedding gift," Harry told them, to which Ron nodded in confirmation.

"Alright then, if that is what you want," Molly agreed.

"I was also thinking maybe we could put Luna in charge of decorations?" Harry proposed, looking at Ginny to see what she thought. She smiled and nodded in agreement.

"Yes, I think that will be perfect," she said.

"Just keep her away from Neville, they don't get along so well currently," Ron added.

"We'll make sure they're seated apart from each other," Ginny added, she wasn't too worried about it.

"About the seating… how will you divide it? I don't expect Harry to invite much of his family…" Hermione thought out loud.

"I don't see a point in dividing it really, most of our friends are mutual anyway," Ginny responded. She looked at Harry but he didn't seem very responsive.

"I guess you're right," Hermione agreed. Ginny gave a big stretch.

"Let's take a short break," she proposed, though it hadn't been that long. Molly stood up to make tea, Hermione went to the restroom and Harry saw it as the perfect moment to leave, and he realised perhaps Ginny had sensed it. He got up and slowly walked outside until he was at the edge of the orchard. He took a few deep breaths in. He took out his wand and mindlessly made daisies appear and disappear in the grass in front of him. When he noticed someone came to stand beside him, he looked up to find Ginny.

"Do you miss your parents?" Ginny tried, looking out into the orchard as well.

"It is more complicated than that," Harry replied, Ginny waited patiently for him to go on.

"I knew they weren't ever going to be with me for the big moments. It just hit me all over again-" Harry stopped speaking and looked at her, she met his eyes. She nodded in understanding.

"You are scared of losing me."

Harry hummed in confirmation and looked ahead again, "I know we have been over this before, more than once."

"Harry," Ginny shook her head, "You can always share that with me."

There was a brief silence. Harry put his arm around her shoulders.

"Are you ready to get back?" Ginny asked after a while. He smiled and nodded.

"Let's plan a wedding."
