Chapter 6:

'So, Harry here tells me you guys are getting married?' asked Bianca during lunch. She and Hermione chose to stay for lunch with Ron and me. We choose to eat a muggle establishment for once. I sat next to Bianca and Ron and Hermione opposite us, we were in the middle of eating our meal. I had ordered the fish and chips as had Ron and Hermione, while Bianca ordered a lasagna and a bottle of wine.

'Yes Bianca, look at the ring,' exclaimed Hermione excitedly showing Bianca her sparkly ring.

'Ahh how beautiful,' gushed Bianca. 'So, have you picked a place, or a dress?' asked Bianca as Ron and I started having our own side conversation about the upcoming game tomorrow.

'No dress yet, but we have decided that we should get married by the end of September, I like the autumn leaves,' said Hermione excitedly.

'That sounds amazing, so like is two months enough time, Hermione?' asked Bianca curiously.

'Well, it has to be, I know exactly what I want, I have known since I was 15 that I liked Ron,' she said matter of factly.

'Well, if you need help let me know, I practically grew up around lace and chiffon. I know a couple things about weeding planning too since my mom has done a couple,' said Bianca kindly. I turned to look at her with appreciation. She was trying to make friends with my friends and that I respected a lot.

'I would love that actually, we should pick a day to go explore the city for ideas,' said Hermione excitedly.

We finished our meal with light conversation about the weeding and we headed back to the Ministry of Magic. Ron and Hermione went in first to give Bianca and I time to say goodbye.

'So, what are you doing right now?' I asked Bianca as I kissed her goodbye.

'I was going to go shopping Harry, I need socks,' she said kissing me.

I chuckled, 'As if you don't have more than enough clothes, I'm pretty sure you have a walk-in closet and are secretly building another closet on the 3suprd/sup floor,' I responded.

'Harry a girl can never have too many clothes,' she responded looking up at me.

'Well, I would very much love to show you my office,' I whispered in her ear as I hugged her close. We were almost as close as can be and I looked down into her eyes, so she got the meaning behind my words as well as felt my erection growing.

'Well Mr. Potter I would love to see your office,' she whispered seductively and kissed me so fiercely we got several looks from muggles passing by and several witches and wizards on the way into the ministry.

I grabbed her hand in mine and together we headed to my office. We passed the security gate and the atrium where witches and wizards yelled, 'Congratulations Potter!', 'Well done Potter!', 'I can now sleep at night with you in charge,', 'Hello Potter!'

We just kept walking quickly as people all around us tried to speak to me. We finally got to the Auror Department and I approached the receptionist desk. The lobby was almost empty, as most of the Aurors were out checking out their assigned Quidditch teams or checking out the Harpies field for tomorrow's game, or some had plainly taken the afternoon off.

'Good afternoon Mr. Potter,' said one of the receptionists flaunting her eyelashes at me. She was in her mid-twenties and was a pretty red head.

'Hello Olivia, I would like you to know that Bianca,' I gestured to Bianca, 'and I would not like to be interrupted for the next hour,' I said looking at Bianca who was now blushing next to me.

'Ohm of course sir,' answered Olivia looking a little upset as she imagined what Bianca and I were about to do. I looked around one more time and only saw 1 or 2 Aurors on the floor, no sight of Ron, he must have gone to practice drills or was still with Hermione. I turned and grabbed Bianca and picked her up in my arms and Bianca gasped and playfully hit me in the arm. She was very light and fit, I mean of course she would be, she did work out three times a week at least and was already thin.

I opened the door to my office and kicked it shut before I wiped everything off my desk and set her down on my desk. She yanked my shirt wide open and ran her hands over my abs and chest. She kissed my neck in the way she knew drove me crazy. She placed my hand on her thighs close to where her dress ended.

DAILY PROPHET SPECIAL EDITION: MID-DAY

RUMORS ARE CONFIRMED: HARRY POTTER IS NEW DEPUTY HEAD OF AUROR!(picture of Harry and accepting promotion next to picture of him and Bianca)

Today fellow readers this morning a special ceremony was held in The Ministry of Magic in which Harry Potter, Britain's favorite Auror, was promoted to Deputy Head of Auror. This means he is to be the next of the Auror Department. This is such an accomplishment for one so young, but what else can be expected of a man such as Potter, he who has already accomplished so much. He comes from a line of Aurors with his father and godfather being the last Aurors in the family. He attended the ceremony with the beauty rumored to be girlfriend called Bianca. Bianca isn't just beautiful but also brilliant, she has transferred over to London's Ministry of Magic with the official statement being to explore other options. We here at the Prophet wonder what was the real reason perhaps to be close to the Britain's most eligible bachelor perhaps?

Bianca got up to leave my office when Ron burst in without knocking as usual. Ron's ears turned red, and he looked at Bianca and said, 'Oi Harry didn't think anyone was here,'.

'I was just leaving Ron,' replied Bianca looking at Ron, and then she turned to Harry and seductively in a thick French accent said,' I will see you tonight baby. Don't take too long,' She winked and walked out the door.

Ron looked at the smirk in Harry's face and said, 'I don't even want to know what you will get up to tonight.' Harry walked around his desk and sat down in his big chair. He looked around his office and felt contempt. He was one step closer to his dream job. It was a family tradition to become an Auror. His father and Sirius had been an Auror's during the first war against Voldermort, his grandmother had been an Auror on his dads' side, and his grandparent's parents had both been Aurors, and so on. If he became the first one in the family to be Head Auror he would be remembered for it. He had a beautiful girlfriend who cared for him. He had his friends Ron and Hermione back in the same city. But why wasn't he happy, why did he feel like something was missing? … And why couldn't he stop looking for Ginny during his ceremony? I mean did he really expect her to come? Why would she?

'Oi Harry are you listening to me? What time did you want to attend the game tomorrow?' asked Ron waving his hands in front of Harry's face from across me where he sat.

'Ron, we need to arrive early to double check security and wards,' I replied looking at Ron.

'Mate, did you hear that any day now they will announce Britain's International Quidditch team?' asked Ron enthusiastically.

'Who do you think will be asked to try out?' I asked. I immediately thought of Ginny, she was amazing, already being called the best chaser of this decade. She led the Harpies to victory after victory, she was fierce and wild. She was amazing.

'Dunno maybe that bloke Ginny dates will probably stay on, and maybe Ginny will get invited….,' replied Ron trailing off.

'Anyway, the game tomorrow starts at ten right, so I want everyone there by 8:30 to do patrols and check everything out. This is my chance to show everyone who thinks I got the promotion because of my name or my past. We cannot afford any mistakes,' I told Ron.

'Mate we know you earned that promotion,' replied Ron leading the way out of my office. 'Now let's get a drink, you work too much,' added Ron and who was I to deny him a drink. So we headed to the pub.

…

We arrived in Diagon Alley to go the pub where we were meeting the other guys, who Ron had owled, we were getting Firewhiskey before the big game tomorrow. I took off my cloak and shrunk it to fit my pocket and rolled up my sleeves to my elbows, and loosened up my tie along with unbuttoning some of buttons on my dress shirt. Ron did the same as we approached the line leading into the pub, it was crowded.

Outside the pub were groups of witches and wizards all talking about each other in crowds and I started to fight my way to the door until several wizards and witches saw me and just started a chain reaction in which everyone moved out of my way as they recognized me.

'That's him. Harry Potter! And Ronald Weasley! He is engaged to Hermione Granger! Lovely couple and they fought during the War. Harry Potter is so dashing!' was all I was hearing as we made our way to the entrance. The security guard moved aside and said, 'Mr. Potter and Mr. Weasley it's an honor.'

We entered to stares and many women batting their eyelashes at us. I saw some flashes and knew someone was taking pictures of us, we would definitely be in Witch Weekly or even the Daily Prophet tomorrow.

A tall really pretty brunette witch with piercing blue eyes appeared in front of me and Ron. She confidently stopped in front of me, she was wearing a sky-blue crop top and high waisted short shorts with sky blue heels. She looked straight into my eyes and confidently said, 'Hello Harry Potter, my friends are scared to ask you for a picture, but I'm not, may I have a picture with the famous Potter?'

I looked at Ron and he started smirking and pushed a little away so the girl could stand next to me for the picture. She smiled a pretty smile and I replied, 'sure, why not.' I mean, I didn't even think Bianca would care, she didn't seem like the jealous type. Plus, it was a harmless picture, what could happen?

She smelled like vanilla and cinnamon, and she placed herself under my arm and placed her arm around my waist. Her group of friends approached us and onlookers formed a circle around us so they could take a picture. I shook my head and looked at Ron to see he was joined by Dean, Seamus, and George who were openly snickering for they knew how much I hated fans interrupting my private time. Looking at them made me unwillingly smile and chuckle just in time for the flash.

'Thank you, Harry,' said the witch. 'My name is Amanda-Lei and if you get bored tonight and want any company I am around,' she said as she boldly kissed my cheek. Oh, how I hope no one saw that, I thought to myself. She walked away with her friends, and I was instantly surrounded by a group of witches all asking for autographs or just wanting to talk to me.

'Ladies, I beg your pardon, but Harry is needed elsewhere, witches you may see him later for a special dance,' interrupted George with a wink dragging me away from all the witches. I knew I was going to get the mickey out of this.

'So Harry so nice of you to join us,' started Dean once I joined the guys at their secluded table near the back of the pub. Bill, Wood, Charlie, Lee Jordan, Neville, and a couple other Aurors and one or two guys who worked with Bill were here drinking around the table. Bill handed me a Firewhiskey and I took a gulp as the guys laughed.

'Are you not getting any attention from Bianca? Are you bored?' asked Seamus to another round of laughs

'What was this one's name?' asked George.

'Was today not good Harry?' joined in Ron to which several men raised their eyebrows to.

'Today, what happened today Ronnikins?' asked George out loud to the great interest of all the guys around the table.

'I almost walked in on a naked Bianca and harry shagging in his office. He even gave his secretary the rest of the day off…. I went looking for him as I hadn't seen him in like an hour since the ceremony,' said Ron to which many said, 'that a boy, Harry,' 'didn't know it was like that.' I tried not to blush, but I knew I blushed just a little.

'Oh, so Harry is she any good?' asked Seamus to the interest of Dean. 'She looks like she is good. She is a dime,' he added when he saw my face.

'At least tell us how you met her, I saw you approach her, and I have never seen someone get a girl out of a pub that fast,' said Neville tried to ease tensions.

'I met here while I was away, we kept meeting each other in different cities while I was away on missions. She approached me and we became friends and she told me about her job, I could not tell her about my job, but she knew what my job was. She was privy to top secret information, and she didn't care that I might not be there when she awoke. So we kept seeing each other. When I knew I was coming back tom Britain I told her we had to end it because I wouldn't be traveling so much anymore, and she understood. Then when I saw her that night, I decided that maybe one more time I would see her because I was accepting the promotion…' I said to the now quiet group. 'Then she suggested she move, and we give things an actual chance. She gave up her comfortable life and immediately owled saying she was moving,' I finished off.

'So, Harry she is in love with you? Are you in love?' asked Neville to the quiet group.

'She left her family in an instant to try to make it work, I feel like I owe her an actual chance,' I answered.

'Mate you didn't answer the question,' added Ron to several nods.

'I think Harry is young and shouldn't have to be in love right now,' chimed in Bill saving me from having to answer. I shot him a thankful glance.

'What would of happened had she not suggested you guys give things an actual chance?' asked Rodney, one of my coworkers.

'I would of never seen her again since work is my top priority. I get off work and Grimmurald Place is spotless with hot freshly made food is made waiting for me. I have a house elf who loves to do everything for me. I am in the process of redecorating, well Bianca is, she is good at all that stuff,' I said to a serious of chuckles and comments about witches love for decorating. 'I was just thinking of expanding the wards and maybe buying out one of the next-door buildings, so I can build a Quidditch pitch. Either that or buying a manor with acres of land,' I said.

'Blimey Harry, a quidditch pitch, really, Blimey,' commented Ron with amused eyes.

'I also wanted to add a home gym.. but who knows if I buy a manor, I will keep Grimmurald Place as my vacation home,' I added as everyone broke into smaller conversations.

'Harry I will never leave your house if you get a professional quidditch pitch,' added Ron to the instant agreement from George, Bill, Dean, and Seamus.

At that point three pretty witches approached the table and pulled, Seamus, Dean, and me away. They originally tried to grab Bill and Ron , but Bill said, 'my wife is part Veela she will kill you in your sleep,' and Ron added, 'my girlfriend is a lawyer she will get you locked up in Azkaban.'

We spent the night talking, laughing, and dancing with random witches that would approach us. We all headed home late knowing we would meet again the next night.

….

I walked into Grimmurald Place in the early hours of the morning to find all the lights off and I slowly made my way to my bedroom where Bianca no doubt would be sleeping only she wasn't. In her place lay a note that read in very nice writing, 'went out with friends visiting…. I told them they were more than welcome to spend the night here, hope it is okay. Love you baby.' Where would she have gone? And she didn't mention any of this when she left my office this morning? But then again I hadn't told her I was going to be out late either, so fair enough.

I awoke to an empty bed. Where was Bianca? I showered and got dressed and headed to the kitchen. Maybe she was downstairs eating or gone for a run. She knew today was the big game that I had to attend and she said she wanted to go.

I entered my big open kitchen and found Bianca wearing gym shirts and a gym sport bra with a high ponytail holding back her thick curly hair. She was leaning against the counter eating breakfast that Dorea made.

'Good morning. Where have you been? How has your night been?' I asked her wrapping her in my arms. I didn't know I was this worried about her not being home last night.

'I went out with my friends and apparently so did you,' she said throwing the Daily Prophet at me. This edition was huge, it had three cover pages. On the first front cover was a picture of the Head of Magical Games holding up a list, so the list of candidates for the International League must be out to the public. The article read:

ANNOUNCING THE LIST OF ELIGIBLE PLAYERS FOR BRITAINS INTERNATIONAL QUIDDITCH LEAGUE

This very morning the Head of Magical Games released the list of the best players in Britain. They are in the very short list of possible players. It is an honor to be nominated…

…. The article continued and I spotted Ginny's name but I flipped the page when I read her boyfriends name. Of course Ginny would make the list, she is already rumored among many to be the best chaser in the last ten years if not history of the Harpies.

The next article showed a picture of Hermione and Ron hugging each other, it was their official engagement announcement. I'm sure Ron was embarrassed at being on the front page. The article read:

HERMIONE GRANGER TO WED RONALD WEASLEY

Our beloved war heroes are due to marry, he has popped the question. Ronald Weasley, 22 and Hermione Granger, 22, long time couple since war have been inseparable. Ronald and Hermione are both best friends to Harry Potter, wizard hero, Deputy of Auror Department. We here at the Prophet wish them the best and can't wait for the weeding details. Congratulations!

The next article showed an intoxicated me last night surrounded by women followed by pictures of me drinking with the guys, and then pictures of me dancing with pretty women, and read:

BRITAINS SEXIEST BACHELOR SEEN OUT WITH OTHER WITCHES

Harry Potter, deputy head of Auror (youngest deputy of any department), 2, last night attended Diagon Alley's hottest up and coming club with Hogwarts' pals, including Ronald Weasley (best friend and war hero), George Weasley (owner of WWW), and fellow friends. His girlfriend Bianca was nowhere in sight instead he was seen dancing and chatting with witches (as pictured above). Who are these women? Is our favorite man a cheater? Where is Bianca? And who did he go home with after the pub?

I put the newspaper down and saw Bianca was leaning against the counter but she wouldn't meet my eyes, instead looking down. She looked hurt. I should explain everything abuse the last thing I wanted was for her to be upset with me.

'Bianca, I went out with Ron after work and the guys. Some witches recognized me and asked for pictures and some wanted to dance. I'm not the only one who danced,' I told her walking to her.

'I know you weren't, I clearly see your friends but they don't have girlfriends, you do. I think it is very disrespectful that you were seen out with other witches,' she said not looking up at me. She still had some distance between us.

'I apologize, I am completely wrong. I am sorry if I hurt your feelings. That was not my intention. Why don't we go shopping and I give you a massage,' I said kissing her neck, her face, and finally her lips. She kissed me back and I felt the love and care. She really cared about me and I have to do better. So we kissed and kissed until all our clothes were on the floor.

An hour later we were both dressed and walking out the door holding hands completely satisfied with today's argument forgotten. I didn't care how much today's shopping trip was going to cause me as long as no more arguments occurred, I hated feeling like an arse. She wore a tight short sleeveless white body con dress that left little to the imagination, along with all white heels with red bottoms. Her hair was straighten down her back with the ends curling. She looked amazingly toned and curvy, she was going to get all the attention today at the quidditch game. I wore a blue dress shirt and black dress pants, this was a sports event but still work.

As I left the house I sent a Patronus to Ron and Dawlish letting him know I would be arriving later than expected to the pre game. Hopefully I had such a good team that they would have everything done before I got there. Hope they don't get too upset with me for being late. I also took the liberty to send a Patronus invitation to some of Bianca's friends from last night, so they could join her in watching the game.

We apperated to the alley outside Diagon Alley hand in hand and the bricks opened up to allow entry. I summoned Dorea to come shopping with us, she would buy a list of house stuff that Bianca gave her while Bianca and I went shopping. Dorea was more than excited to be included and overjoyed to be seen out shopping with us. She kept saying, 'yes master, thank you for this opportunity. None of my house elf friends allowed out with master, oh it is an honor. They will be so jealous.'

'Dorea buy anything you need for the house, thank you,' I said to her as she excitedly bowed and walked away. 'Bianca where should we go first?' I asked as the streets of Diagon Alley were close to deserted besides a few people who were walking around but I'm sure word would get around that I was here.

We shopped around and talked stopping only to kiss until Bianca was satisfied with at least 10 bags. I knew I had spent quite a small fortune but anything to make up for my dreams of Ginny and my ever wandering thought about her. Eventually I said, 'Dorea please…' and she appeared.

'Yes master,' answered Dorea bowing.

'Please take our bags back home and we will be off to the game. I am late already,' I said looking at Bianca who didn't look a bit upset at being told it was time to go. Together hand in hand we apperated to the Harpies field in Wales directly onto the outside by passing the line of fans checking through the extensive security.

We appareted to flashing lights as photographers spotted us arriving hand in hand. 'POTTER Potter and Bianca,' 'Wow she is gorgeous,' 'Blimey it's Potter!' Then folks from Magical Law Enforcement, Magical Games, and Aurors all started approaching one by one to say hi, and some even commenting on how great Bianca looked. Eventually I said, 'gentlemen and ladies we must go, I am late.' To which I gained many laughs and comments like, ' don't be shy Harry, sir, come by the office.'

We entered the stadium that was packed with such a huge crowd there was almost no space left to walk through. Everyone saw me and made way, many shaking my hand and saying 'Hello Mr. Potter,' 'That's him, Potter!' I shook a wizards hand and he proceeded to shout, 'HE SHOOK MY HAND, POTTER DID!' 'POTTER!'

Eventually we made our way to the field p where the Auror tent was momentarily being set up before the game, some of the players were in the air practicing in these perfect conditions. Lee Jordan could be heard commenting before the game started, all I heard was, 'and that looks like the man himself, Potter, Britains most eligible bachelor, hottest wizard in all of Britain, one of the top 10 wealthiest wizards, and ladies the deputy head of the Auror Depatrment, who is no doubt walking in to oversee the Aurors who are here to over see security.' Cheers erupted as the crowd high in the stands started to lean out of their seats to try to get a look at me. 'POTTER! POTTER!'

'Oh the crowd is going wild just for Potter but who is that on his arm, oh but the lovely Bianca, who Potter as your Hogwarts mate can say I have yet to meet her, so Potter when am I meeting her… anyways Potter heads towards the Aurors but not before kissing Bianca goodbye,' said Lee Jordan.

I led Bianca to one of the Auror trainees and said, 'Mike, please take Bianca to the players special box and make sure she settles in.'

'Yes sir,' he said. Bianca let go of my hand and flung her arms around my neck and bent my head to give me very intense passionate kiss that wasn't fit for the public. There were several whops, cheering, and woof whistles from what I assume where the guys behind me including Ron. 'I will see after the game. Upon the box should be Hermione and I invited some of your friends from last night. If you need anything ask any of the Aurors around and they will get the message to me,' I said. She turned and started to ascend followed by Mike and I turned to walk towards the Auror tent.
