Chapter 9 A New Life

Ginny didn't leave the invisibility cloak instead they walked slowly close together, almost as if dancing, out of Diagon Alley through the Leaky Cauldron and into muggle London. They found the park Harry was thinking of and next to the park was a café where they sold sandwiches.

Ginny changed with much trouble under the invisibility cloak to muggle clothes and bought them breakfast. There were not many people in the park and they found a bench where they could talk undisturbed. Harry stayed under the cloak even though it was very unlikely anyone would recognize him in a muggle park eating breakfast.

"What do you think we should do now Harry?" Ginny asked as she unwrapped the plastic from her sandwich.

Harry smiled underneath his cloak, "I am doing what I want to do now."

"Eating breakfast?" Ginny asked innocently.

"Sitting here with you, completely free to go anywhere," Harry said dreamily.

Ginny giggled, "You know what? If anyone finds out about this I am going to be the-girl-who-stole-the-boy-who-lived."

"You can't steal something that is willingly given," Harry replied, "Besides you are not a girl anymore you are a woman."

"Mmm, a very happy woman," Ginny said slipping one hand under his cloak to hold his hand. Harry laced his fingers with her.

"Can you think of anything more we should do before we leave London?" Harry asked after a moment.

Ginny shook her head making her hair sparkle in the morning sunlight, "No… well we should look in that book."

Harry agreed and handed her the book from her bag.

Ginny coughed as she opened the book, it stank horribly of some kind of wizard's tobacco.

"You shouldn't read that!" Harry exclaimed and pulled the book from her before she could protest. He knew cigarette smoke wasn't good for their baby and judging by the smell of the book this was at least ten times worse.

Ginny glared at him and seemed to see strait through his cloak.

"No, not a chance Gin," said Harry firmly.

"Fine," Ginny replied angrily, "but I do know better then to smell that book too closely."

"You coughed!" Harry accused her.

Ginny sighed, "I know affection might be hard for you, but you can't freak out every time I cough or Merlin forbids sneezes."

Harry felt a little stupid, he knew he tended to be a little over protective but he couldn't help it.

"I'll read it aloud for you," Said Harry and he opened the book under the cloak.

Ginny giggled, "If you read that book under there I'll have to smell it from the cloak all the way to France!"

Ginny was right and Harry handed the book out to her again, "Just don't sit too close to it."

Ginny smiled triumphantly as she opened the book again and flicked over to the first page, "Part one before you disappear. Before you even consider disappearing you have to figure out who might be looking for you, where they might look for you and what methods they might use…."

"I think we better expect everyone to search for us," said Harry thoughtfully.

Ginny nodded and skipped to the following paragraph, "Family Magical. Among the most usual forms of tracking is family magic. A close family member can with a spell or enchantment determine another family member's location and situation. In older Wizarding families enchanted object are commonly used to keep track…"

"Your clock," Harry gasped horror-struck, "They can still see you on your grandfather clock!"

"Oh, no… they can't Harry," Ginny said as if it was the plainest thing in the world.

"They'll know it'll be pointing to travelling or something… we got to do something!" Harry said standing up, ready to fly strait to the Burrow and destroy the clock.

"Listen to me," Ginny said calmly. Harry turned around to face her, surprised that she could keep her calm in a situation like this.

"I am marrying you, remember?" Ginny said, glancing uncertainly in his direction, "They are no longer my closest family, only you can use family magic to track me."

Virginia Weasley considered him, Harry Potter, her closest family. He knew this already of course but he had never dreamed putting it in words. Harry felt too much to speak any human language. He stood staring stupidly at her for a second before he glanced around quickly to make sure no one was watching them and threw the invisibility cloak over her as well to hold her closely.

"You don't actually think someone could mean more to me then you?" Ginny asked mildly amused.

"Well, you have the best family," Harry said truthfully hugging her hard, "I mean your mum and dad and all your brothers."

Ginny giggled softly, "You can be so daft sometimes Mr. Potter."

They hugged each other for another long moment, feeling each other's heartbeats and deep soothing breaths.

"You are sure about it?" Harry asked gently, "The clock I mean, I haven't married you yet after all."

"Percy's spoon stopped functioning right after the row with dad. If his spoon stopped working just because of that, my spoon will explode," Ginny replied smilingly.

As always when Harry was too close to Ginny's lips, he couldn't help capturing them in a kiss. Harry and Ginny continued reading the stinking book until lunch. Most of the things the book described was not relevant for them or would not be until they had found their new home and were ready to place concealment wards. They had focused mostly on unlocking their wands and they had found a very good chapter describing how to do it.

Every legal wand contained a powder that worked a bit like Floo powder. Every time a legal wand is used, the magic ignites the powder that creates a magical signal strong enough for the ministry of magic to read. It didn't matter if you used somebody else's wand because the signal was unique not to the wand but to the person.

There was a potion that would ruin the powder in their wands and make them untraceable by the ministry. They wouldn't be able to make the potion at the moment however since they had not brought Harry's cauldron and if they had they would still need to buy potion ingredients.

Ginny sighed, "You know, I think we could do without magic for a couple of days."

"Yeah, besides it would be hard to get anything from Diagon Alley now," Harry agreed putting the book down in his bag hoping the stench wouldn't rub off too badly.

Ginny bought them salad from the café and they enjoyed another peaceful meal in the park together.

"So?" Harry asked when Ginny was done with her salad, "I figure we should buy some food for the trip in case we get hungry…"

"Don't be silly love, I won't get hungry again in a few hours," Ginny replied smiling happily, "Now get your broom ready, we got to find a new position to fly in."

"That shouldn't be a problem you are good at finding positions," Harry said teasingly.

"Now that you mention that, Mr Potter, I think a normal position could work," Ginny said as she slipped under his invisibility cloak.

"Err a normal position?" Harry asked.

"Well if I lie down on my back on the broom handle…" Ginny made Harry wrap his arms around her and hold the broom behind her back, "That's it… perhaps you better carry me."

Harry understood what Ginny was trying to do and lifted her up. Ginny wrapped her legs around his hips and arms around his neck. Harry still held the broom behind her back and with some effort straddled it, Ginny still clinging on to him.

Harry hovered a few feet over the ground and Ginny lay down on her back on the broom handle, "Is that okay, Harry?"

"Great," Harry replied, "But you'll have to hold one bag somehow… I can only take one."

With some addition struggle under the cloak they were both comfortable and had one carried one bag each.

Harry slowly ascended from the park and increased the speed.

"Much better isn't it?" Ginny asked smiling brightly.

"Mmmm… you are a good with brooms," Harry replied.

Ginny smiled teasingly, "So when do you think we'll set foot in England again?"

"Later this afternoon. You don't think I would really let you go al the way to France without at least a snack do you?" Harry asked knowing fully well he was overprotective.

Ginny burst out laughing loudly, "God, Harry couldn't you tell I was baiting you?"

"And this is the woman I asked to marry," Harry said in mock disappointment.

"Oh no much worse," Ginny said teasingly, "I am the woman who you chose to have children with."

"I did do that didn't I?" Harry asked smiling broadly.

"Uh-huh," Ginny said, "And if you think you'll get away with just one child you are a fool."

"Well it depends on how the first one turns out doesn't it?" Harry asked teasingly, "Maybe I am not pleased with the result."

"How can you joke about something like that?" Ginny exclaimed sadly putting a hand on her still flat stomach, "Our child is perfect!"

Harry felt very guilty at once. No one was capable of making him feel guilty the way she could, "I am sorry Gin, it was just a joke. You know I never meant anything by it."

Ginny managed a sad smile, "It's not your fault. I just get worried sometimes you know…"

Harry nodded he worried a lot too but mostly about Ginny. They were now leaving London again. It wasn't hard at all to navigate from their height. Harry quickly spotted a motorway called M20 that he had looked out on a map and followed it towards Dover.

Harry and Ginny had a great time talking about everything and before he knew it, he could see the sea on the horizon. They must have been flying for hours Harry realised. A little while later the reached the coast and followed it to Dover, just as the road did far below them.

Harry had never been in Dover before of course but Ginny had been there once with her family and knew where they would be able do land without being detected.

They landed in a park Ginny said was called 'Connaught Park'. After some gymnastic adventures, they untangled themselves from each other. Ginny slipped out from underneath the cloak, and together they started walking out from the park.

Dover Castle was a wonderful sight, they could see it directly when they left the park. It was nothing like Hogwarts, Dover Castle was so very muggle somehow, but still very imposing.

"Oh look we can have pizza," Ginny said pointing over at a pizzeria on the edge of the town.

"Hungry now are we?" Harry asked.

"Well yes, but that doesn't mean we should have brought food along," Ginny said defensively, "Besides it wouldn't be any fun to eat if you weren't hungry would it?"

"You should eat properly," Harry stated stubbornly, "A sandwich or fruit is recommended between meals you know."

"I'll make up for it," Ginny said as and started skipping towards the pizzeria.

Harry had never been in a pizzeria except for the one in Little Whinging but this pizzeria didn't look much different. Ginny read the menu above the counter hungrily, before settling for a vegetarian pizza. Harry whispered what he wanted in Ginny's ear and she ordered for him as well.

They Castle was built on grass-covered hills and they found a nice castle wall facing the sea that they sat down against. The sun was still shining brightly but it had lost some of its edge and was now only warming comfortably. Ginny didn't spare any time enjoying their view or the castle, she went strait for the pizza.

"Ouch," She winced as she burned her fingers slightly on the warm pizza, "How can muggles stand waiting for their food to cool down?"

"Next time we are bringing you an apple or something," said Harry.

Ginny smiled at him, the prospect of food these days always made her happy. Even though the pizza was still burning Ginny managed to tear a little slice and put it in her mouth.

"Mmm this is almost as good as sex," She said happily and opened her Pepsi quickly, "It's as hot anyway."

"Speaking of hot I think, we need to find you some after sun lotion," Harry pointed out as he started eating, "It doesn't hurt does it?"

Ginny felt her red face with her hand; the hours in the park and flying in the sun had been a little too much for her fair skin.

"No not yet," Ginny muttered, "I hope our baby has your skin, you have great skin you know."

"Don't say that, I love your skin," said Harry tearing himself a slice from his pizza.

"That's because it won't start burning you in a few hours," Ginny said and took a bite out of her slice.

"Serves you right doesn't it? I mean you can't expect to just go around and be so incredibly beautiful without some kind of punishment," said Harry.

"You are head over heels in love, Harry," Ginny said shaking her head sadly.

"I wouldn't want it another way you know," Harry replied and ripped off another slice of pizza.

"You better not," Ginny warned him jokingly.

There was a moment of silence as they both ate their pizza and enjoyed each other's company, watching various boats and ferries down at the harbours.

"Do you think we are ready to cross the cannel this evening or should we wait?" Harry finally asked. He wasn't sure he wanted Ginny to fly anymore today in her condition especially if she had burned her skin.

"Let's leave as we planned," Ginny said merrily, "I can't wait to see France, Hermione says it's wonderful."

Harry couldn't help sighing, "They probably all know by now."

Ginny nodded unhappily, "They are probably crying for us… and I bet the Evening Prophet will write all about it."

"So while we get you the after sun lotion, we should also get you vitamins, you need loads of calcium and then later on you need loads of iron as well." said Harry changing the subject.

"I know," Ginny said dismissively.

"It's very important," Harry pressed on, "Pepsi and Pizza isn't exactly health food for you, you should eat potatoes, vegetables and meat and drink milk."

Ginny smiled widely, "That sounds like a restaurant visit, Harry."

"Well if that is what it takes," Harry replied smilingly.

"Mmm," Ginny nodded happily, "A fancy restaurant with dress code."

"A place where most people go wearing rings perhaps?" Harry asked seductively.

"Perhaps," Ginny agreed happily, "But not anywhere near here it's not safe."

"So how do you plan to eat properly until then?" Harry asked.

"Oh I am sure you will find a way to feed me properly." Ginny replied.

"I will," Harry promised quickly. "First step is to buy fruit; you eat way to little fruit. From now on you'll eat a piece of fruit at least to every meal."

"Right now?" Ginny asked when he heard Harry stand up under his invisibility cloak.

"Yes," said Harry quickly, "This was a meal wasn't it?"

"Right," Ginny said and stood up as well, "I like green grapes best."
