Chapter 5: Hearing The Truth
Later that evening after everyone else had gone to bed, Ginny and Harry sat in an armchair in front of the fireplace. Both lost in his or her own thoughts.
"Ginny." Harry said suddenly. "Do you think your mum and dad will accept this house as an anniversary gift?"
"I don't know, Harry, but I'm pretty sure that they will. Mum is always after dad to fix the Burrow before it completely falls in, but why do you ask?"
"Well, they have done so much for me and I want to do for them. I mean, your family took me in when I had no one and I just want to do something special for them for a change. For all of you." Harry said, kissing her on the top of her head.
Ginny snuggled into Harry a little closer.
"Do you love some of us a little more than others?" She asked playfully, looking up at Harry with big innocent brown eyes.
"Well, maybe one of you a tiny bit more than the others." He said, trying to hide the smile that was threatening to split his face.
"Harry James Potter!" Ginny squealed, playfully swatting his chest. "You better love me ALOT more than the others."
"Oh, you don't have to worry about that." He said as he bent his head to give her a passionate kiss.
Ginny just sighed happily and returned his kiss just as passionately.

Meanwhile, at Professor Dumbledore's office, he and Professor Snape were in the middle of a conversation.
"So, how is Mr. Malfoy doing?" Dumbledore asked, looking at Snape as he paced in front of the headmasters desk.
"I don't know, sir. I came back to Hogwarts as soon as Black arrived." Snape replied.
"It took you awhile to come to my office." Dumbledore said with a smile.
"I know, sir. And I apologize. I just didn't realize how tired I truly was. I had only intended to lie down for a minute, and the next thing I knew you were calling me by floo powder."
"That's fine, Severus." Dumbledore reassured him. "That is why I let you sleep a few hours."
"Thank you, sir. I really needed it." Snape replied, giving the headmaster a very rare smile. "So," He continued. "What about Harry?"
"Well, Severus, the boy will be 18 his next birthday." Dumbledore said thoughtfully. "I think he really should be told something."
"Don't you think that will be a little much for him to take at one time?" Snape said with a hint of concern. "After all these years, not having a real family. And then finding out that you are his great- grandfather, and the evil potion's master is his uncle on his father's side..."
"Now, now Severus," Dumbledore interrupted the man's rant. "Is that really what you are afraid of? Or are you afraid he will want to call you Uncle Severus?"
Snape gave the headmaster a very disgusted look before settling into one of the plush armchairs.
"I don't know how to be an uncle." He said dismayed, placing his head in his hands.
Dumbledore got up from his desk and walked around it to stand in front of the Potion's Master.
Placing a hand on his shoulder he said, "Severus, I have no doubt that you will be an excellent Uncle. Plus his godfather will be there to help out. Besides, he will need your and Sirius's help with the trials he must face very soon. What with the Order of the Four having chosen him for their heir and all."
Snape looked up at the headmaster for a moment, then slowly nodded his head in agreement. Yes, the needed to be ready.

Harry slowly laid Ginny on the couch so as not to wake her. They had been sitting in front of the fireplace talking when she had fallen asleep. Harry pulled a blanket out of the cupboard under the stairs and covered the sleeping girl before going upstairs. Harry closed the bedroom door and changed into his pajamas. He fell asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow.
