I entered my shared apartment in such a mood. I was fuming. How dare Harry play the hero? I could have saved myself had he not been there.
I entered my living space and was surprised to find bouquets of white roses everywhere. I looked around and they were everywhere, on the tea table, on the stands next to the couches, and on the floor. What was going on? Did I walk in the wrong apartment?
No, I was in the right apartment because in the middle of my living room stood my boyfriend, Laurenzo. His shoulder length wavy blond hair was a little longer, her amber eyes sparkled, and he stood tall and somehow looked happier than the last time I saw him. He looked great, he wore a white long sleeve polo shirt and jeans. I looked so underdressed next to him. I knew I should have showered after practice in the locker rooms.
'Ginny, I have missed you so much. I asked your roommates for your schedule for today, so I could surprise you,' he said happily. This man was one of the most attractive men in England and he wanted me for me. He did not confuse me or even annoy me. He was so sweet, and he deserved my unconditional attention. I had barely written to him this week he was away; I had been so distracted with Harry's arrival. Sweetie, you are not the girlfriend of the year. This man took the time to plan this romantic surprise for you.
I ignored my thoughts and ran to Laurenzo who immediately placed his arms around me and kissed me eagerly. His hands immediately started roaming over my body. I threw myself to him, I started trying to undo his shirt and threw it on the floor behind him.
'I need to shower off the dirt. Today was a rough day at practice,' I said in between kisses.
He lifted me in his arms, and I wrapped my legs around him, and he cupped my ass as he led me towards the loo, so I could shower off the grime from practice.
He opened the door to the loo and with his free hand turned on the water. 'I have missed you so much,' he said as he took off my jeans and I stripped off my clothes.
'As I've missed you. It has just been crazy,' I replied as we returned to kissing. We did not talk anymore as he knelt down before me and lifted one of my legs and started licking me in my deep center. It felt good and I turned off my brain. I came and he grabbed my sponge and started soaping me up, then rinsing, and then kissing me everywhere.
He turned off the water and carried me in his arms naked to my bedroom and threw me on the bed. I laid back and looked at him. His muscles, his hair, his face, his toned legs, and everything about him would make every witch in London want him./
He climbed on my bed and said, 'if you are really that tired, we can sleep.'
'No, Laurenzo take me and let me forget what a long and exhausting day I've had,' I responded as I brough his face to mines and started kissing him neck like crazy. I placed my hand on his chest and slowly lowered my hand to his cock. His cock was hard and ready for acting. Maybe shagging him would make me forget today. Merlin knows today has been very stressful.
...
It was late almost morning when I entered 12 Grimmauld Place, and he was tired and exhausted. I had been working for hours doing paperwork and examining the Harpies field after the explosion. Ginny had refused me checking on her after the explosion, so Ron made sure to check her wellbeing.
I took off my cloak and set it on the rack next to the entrance while I kicked off my shoes in the well-lit hallway as Dorea appeared in the hallway with a tray with tea and cookies. 'Master its late, but your friend is in the kitchen. You look tired and may I say dirty master. Would you like me to cook you something sir? Would you like me to run you a bath?' said Dorea looking at me with her big eyes. 'At least take some tea it will relax my master' she insisted.
I felt terrible saying no, but it was late almost the crack of dawn I needed to just sleep especially after such a stressful day. Ginny had my mind all messed up, why was she so upset with me? She yelled at me in front of everyone and I don't understand why it affected me so much.
I was going to head upstairs when I remembered that Dorea mentioned someone was in the kitchen, probably Bianca. I mentally punched myself I had forgotten to let her know that I would be working late, and good boyfriends probably told their girlfriends things like that.
I entered the kitchen and Bianca sat facing the fireplace with her back to a beautifully laid dinner table, either Dorea or her must have cooked. I approached her and noticed she was sleeping, she must of fell asleep waiting for me. As carefully as I could I grabbed her into my arms and carried her upstairs to my room and pulled back the thick sheets to place her under the sheets.
'Harry are you there?' she asked fluttering her eyes open.
'I am my love. I just got in,' I said softly as I took off my clothes and got under the sheets.
'I waited up for you,' she said turning over to closer to me.
'I know, you're so sweet. Work got crazy. I'm sorry I didn't have time to write to let you know I would be home late,' I told her kissing her forehead. 'It's almost dawn, so let's sleep. Good night' I said closing my eyes.

POTTER SAVES GINNY WEASLEY OF HOLYHEAD HARPIES! AURORS SEEN INVESTIGATING QUIDDITCH SITES IN ENGLAND! EXPLOSION ROCKS HARPIES STADIUM
Yesterday we, the wizarding world was shocked but glad to see so many Auror activity. Aurors were spotted at every Quidditch training site in England. No one knows what they were doing as no reporters were allowed or even notified of such searches. The investigations were led by none other than Harry Potter, 21, who is rumored to be Duputy Head of Auror. He was spotted at every Quidditch field across England, so he was certainly very busy. This investigation seemed to be giving no result until an explosion rocked the Harpies stadium in Holy head Harpies. A chaser, one Ginny Weasley was thrown off her broom while test flying it out. Lucky for her Harry Potter, her ex-boyfriend was around to catch her (as pictured above). Could this be the spark that reconciles them together and if so, what do Laurenzo, Ginny's boyfriend, and Bianca, Harry's rumored girlfriend think about it?
"Harry love, you didn't tell me you there was an explosion yesterday?' said Bianca as she laid next to me in bed.
'I came home late and didn't want to bother you with work stuff,' I replied as I got up from bed heading to shower. Then I paused for a second, how did she know there was an explosion yesterday.
'Wait how do you know about the explosion?' I asked.
'You're on the front page of your country's version of the Daily Prophet. You and this Ginny person,' she said not looking up at me. 'Who is she?' she asked looking me straight in the eyes. 'It says here that she's your ex-girlfriend and she looks very pretty,' she added.
'Ginny and I dated so long ago; it's been ages. She is Ron's sister,' I assured her.
'Ok then,' she responded and turned back to the Daily prophet. How did the Daily Prophet know about the investigation. Lately they seemed to be spot on and it was getting a bit strange. I think someone was leaking information to the press or they were tracking me.
The sound of the floo activating stopped me from getting deeper into my deeper thoughts. 'HARRY DEAR, HARRY,' said Mrs. Weasley. I put on some pants and ran to the floo. Mrs. Weasley never called him and never at this hour.
'Good morning Mrs. Weasley,' I responded when I reached the floo.
'Harry dear, I know you have to work, but Arthur and I just wanted to say thank you. We saw the Daily Prophet this morning and we just want to say we feel so safe sleeping at night knowing you are in charge of this case. Arthur told the family. Now I know you need to get going, see you Sunday,' she said ending the floo call.
...
Bianca, we are going be late love, we need to hurry,' I said walking from room to room looking for her. I had walked up two landings already searching every room for Bianca. I knew she was here as we had woken up together and she told me she was going to get dressed. It was half pass nine and I had to be at the ministry before ten am. If she didn't hurry, we would be late.
The rest of the week passed by in a hurry and before I knew it Friday had come, today there was going to be a press conference officially announcing my promotion. The rest of the week had the Auror department doing a lot of investigation and watching. I had the Aurors divided into groups, so they could recheck some of the Quidditch fields and investigate for sources. I had not heard or seen from Ginny or any of the Weasleys except Ron of course, who I had placed in charge of overseeing the Harpies field.
'Harry I'm in here and I'm almost done,' she yelled from wherever she was. Like where was here? She wasn't in any of the rooms I've checked, my room, the sitting room, my closet, or anywhere in the last two floors.
'Umm, where is here?' I responded going down the stairs one more level.
'I'm right here,' she said popping her head out from a room down the hallway. I approached the room at the end of the hall and entered the extra walk-in closet. This closet to my knowledge was empty until yesterday, since it was my extra walk-in closet, but since I was the only one living here, I saw no need to use the room, or even this floor.
I looked around the huge cream-colored walk-in closet and saw it was overflowing with high heeled shoes on all the racks, clothes everywhere, dresses hanging on racks, skirts, blouses, and on the far wall was a desk surrounded by hair styling muggle tools. The right side of the room, covering the rug covered walls was a huge life size mirror that covered the entire wall.
'When did you get all this stuff in here?' I asked when I saw her standing in front of the mirror looking breath taking. Her thick long hair was straight down her back, and she wore a red skintight dress that reached above her knees that showed her body perfectly. It was like she was naked without being naked. She had matching red high heeled ankle boots with a pencil thin long heel, it made me wonder how she could walk in those.
'Oh, you're silly. I figured you have so many rooms you don't use I figured you wouldn't mind me using one or some of them,' she said with her accent not looking up at me.
'So, this is your new personal closet?' I asked looking at her up and down.
'Yes, it is, is that okay?' she asked walking towards new.
'Bianca that's perfect. Honestly, I always wondered where the rest of your clothes were,' I said jokingly as I wrapped my arms around her. 'Bianca you look beautiful, but we need to get going,' I whispered in her ear as I kissed her neck. She grabbed my face and kissed me.
I grabbed her hand and together we walked outside, so we could aparate to the Ministry. We could of flooed, but I hate the floo system, if I could drive, I would drive to the Ministry.
I apparated to the main lobby of the Ministry of Magic with my arms around her. The Ministry of Magic was beyond crowded today of all days, witches and wizards were in crowds everywhere around us coming out of the floo, or entering through the gates, and the press was everywhere. I loosened my grip on Bianca and we proceeded to walk to the elevator.
'POTTER!', 'That's Harry Potter!', and 'HARRY AND BIANCA LOOK OVER HERE', was all I heard as Bianca and I fought our way to the elevator. Everywhere I turned wizards and witches were either dressed very nice for the press conference or dressed in cloaks reporting for work.
'OI, MATE HOLD UP,' yelled Ron from somewhere to my left. He approached with Hermione in tow. He wore black dress robes and Hermione wore a knee length black dress and her hair was loose down her back.
'Hi guys, how is it going?' I asked once they had joined me. They in turn said hi to Bianca.
'So. You are Bianca, I've heard so much about you, but not from Harry,' she said giving me a look. 'So, tell me who are you? Where are you from?' she asked eyeing Bianca up and down.
'Hermione this is not the time,' I started saying.
'It is okay Harry,' said Bianca placing her left hand on my right arm. 'My name is Bianca Maricua. I work for mostly the French Ministry of Magic and my job entails me traveling to other Ministries to ensure corporation. I am an only child of 23 years. I went to school at Beauxbatons,' she said all this matter of factly. Hermione changed her facial expression to one of acknowledgement. Hermione hated not knowing things and it probably was killing her not to know what my life had been like all these years away. 'Harry and I met a year ago when he was on a mission, and I was working at the Ministry, it was very casual and we kept seeing each other,' she added. 'Now, we need to get going or we are going to be late,' she added matter of factly turning to the open elevator doors.
I couldn't help but smirk as Hermione looked at her in shock that Bianca had spoken to her like that. I gestured for Bianca and Hermione to get in and I chanced a look at Ron who was trying his hardest to hold in a giggle.
The crowded elevator doors opened on the Auror floor and the entire elevator emptied out, witches and wizards dressed to impress, Aurors for the first time not dressed in work clothes. The press conference was to be held in one of the huge training rooms to left of the offices. The four of us walked together to where the press conference was to be held.
When we arrived at the room had been cleaned and organized completely different. There a red velvet rope everywhere to keep the press back and in the middle of the room stood a raised wooden stand, which I figured was for me and whoever was going to present, probably Robards or Kingsley. There were servers walking around with trays serving refreshments like drinks, pieces of pies, cake, and other good stuff. Around the room were officials from other departments and their respective partners walking around and socializing with each other, even Kingsley was here. The Weasleys stood about the room, Mr. and Mrs. Weasley were talking to Kinsley and other department heads. Neville and Luna were also here, but no sight of Ginny.
The four of us took a turn around the room, every couple of minutes some Auror or another would come up to us and start a conversation. Their date would make conversation with Hermione or Bianca, usually Bianca and complement her hair or dress, and so the cycle would continue. After some time, Kinsley's voice rang out and we all turned our attention to the podium. He stood atop there with Robards, my boss.
'May I please have everyone's attention,' he spoke over the magnified wand and everyone stopped and turned their attention to him. 'We are gathered here today to officially announce what many of you already know or have heard thanks to the Prophet. We, Robards and I, have chosen someone to take over all local missions,' several heads turned towards me. I chanced a glance around and saw Mrs. Weasley was tearing up, Mr. Weasley looked proud, George and Angelina were glancing around like they had pulled a prank. Bianca was on my right looking very happy, she was so sweet. But where is Ginny? Did I just not see her? I thought. No, no no that isn't my business or my problem. I am here with Bianca. I told myself.
'This is someone who has always put his work above all else. Someone who just cannot seem to escape the limelight,' to this many people chuckled including myself. 'Mr. Harry Potter will take on this huge role and huge responsibility. He is what many perceive as the future of the Ministry of Magic. Please a round of applause for Mr. Potter,' said Kinsley motioning for me to approach the podium.
...
'So, Miss. Bianca Marcoux, I look forward to working with you, see you Monday,' said Mr. Dulingue, the Head of Magical Law Enforcement, sometime after the press announcement. Most of the press had left after asking to no avail who Bianca was.
Mr. Dulingue walked away, and I turned to Bianca surprised. I had no idea she had requested a transfer to work at this Ministry. I hadn't thought about it If I was honest, I just thought eventually she would have to go work in France.
'So, you're transferring here?' I whispered in her ear, as I didn't want anyone over hearing. Ron and Hermione were talking to Luna, Neville, George, and Bill about the upcoming Quidditch game tomorrow. Tomorrow is Ginny's first game of the season. The Aurors will all be attending to monitor for dark magic activity.
'I am, I want to be closer to you, and this way we can see each other every day. By the way I have been meaning to ask, can I make a couple changes to the house. I love it but some of the rooms could be changed a little just so I can feel more welcome, if not it is completely okay,' she said in her softest voice and flashing her eyelashes at me.
'Love do whatever you please to make yourself more comfortable, and I am happy you're staying here in London with me,' I said in her ear before giving her a quick kiss.
'Harry, we want to say congratulations before we left,' said Mrs. Weasley coming up with Mr. Weasley, Bill, and Fleur. She hugged me followed by Fleur, Mr. Weasley shook my hand, and Bill mumbled congratulations but still held back a sullen look. 'Dear you are lovely; you must be Bianca. I saw you on the Prophet, you can call me Molly,' she said embracing Bianca.
'Nice to meet you madam, I am Bianca Marcoux,' Bianca said in a nice soft accent. 'I love your hair miss, such time it must of took you to do it so,' she said to Fleur.
'You said Marcoux, right?' asked Fleur as her eyes lit up with curiosity. 'Marcoux like Head of Department of Mysteries of France, or like the owner of the exclusive boutique Lamour in Paris?
'Both, my mother opened the boutique with the help of my dad who is the Head of the Department of Mysteries of France,' she said as everyone around quieted to hear about Bianca's background. 'I followed neither of them I became a world relations officer meaning I travel to other Ministries and make sure communication is running smoothly. My parents are not very happy to say the least,' she added with a chuckle.
'Wow how peculiar, the places you must have been to,' said Luna. I was surprised Bianca was being very open today, she didn't like talking about her personal life or even her home life.
'Well, that doesn't matter, my parents would have preferred me to be a housewife,' added Bianca smiling.
'I just love your mothers boutique,' said Fleur warming up to Bianca. 'I love what you are wearing now,' added Fleur.
'My mother is coming out with a new collection and she sent them over for me to try it first, would you like to come over and try them with me?' asked Bianca. Fleur looked overjoyed at the invitation. This was very smart on Bianca's part, invite Fleur and the Weasley's would start liking you and consider you one of the family.
'I would love to, write to me and let me know when to come,' replied Fleur.
