Thank you, D.Torres, for beta reading this story!

Oh, I am so sorry all for being such a lousy updater. I hope you don't hate me!

Jbfritz: Well here the chapter finally is!

Wytil: Well this story is made for the fluff, don't expect it to be like Broken Wands. Wandless magic, that's a thought... you got me thinking!

The One above All: Oh I soo tried to get Voldie to appear in this story but he is old you see and needs to have a few moments alone sometimes... besides he doesn't approve of the Harry Ginny ship.

Sharker11: Thank you, you are very kind. I don't think the ministry can tell what kind of magic a wand is used for so that would be why they didn't pick up on Harry's crucio in the end of book V.

Szelij: Being young and stubborn, Harry chooses not believe in the prophesy in this story and won't train for defeating Voldemort.¨

blunt-but-honest: Thanks! Well actually I wasn't completely sure how to solve the clock until I got to that specific part *grins sheepishly* Sorry for writing this story so slowly!

Rocky235: Thanks, Rocky!

brittbrat123: Thanks! :-) Hermione's Love is a "back home" story and there might be more stories like that. Harry and Ginny are heading south, that's all I'm saying here. If you need spoilers, send me a mail.

Spartan: It's possible of course, but I figure Dumbledore trusts people a little too much, in this case Fawkes tells him that Harry and Ginny are dead. There will be other searchers though.

coolone007: Oh, if you want me to read something through for you I can do that :-) but don't expect much help with grammars. Hmm… well since Ginny is considering Harry her closest family now, the clock doesn't work anymore as it requires Ginny to consider her closest family to be the Weasleys.

WallyTheWhale: Oh, I am so very sorry to keep you waiting and sorry no Dumbledore. Here is the update anyway :-)

harryandbrennan-luver200317: THANK YOU!

Thanks all of you for reviewing and letting me know you are reading, it means the world to me!

Chapter 10 Green Grapes

A short time later, after acquiring directions from some locals, Harry and Ginny were making several purchases from a local pharmacy.

Harry unaware of pharmacy hours chose to go there first before they closed since most grocery stores had longer hours. With this in mind, they decided to get Ginny's vitamins and after sun lotion first. Since they were probably going to spend more time in the sun, Ginny bought Sun block as well to keep protect herself from prolonged exposure. Her face was turning redder for every moment that passed and Harry knew it had to be burning even though she didn't say anything.

"Let's find a grocery store," Ginny whispered to him when she emerged back from the pharmacy.

"First things, first, let me rub some after sun lotion on you," said Harry softly from underneath the invisibility cloak.

Ginny nodded and let her be directed away from the main street into an alleyway where no one would see them by the invisible Harry.

"Why don't you tell me it's burning?" Harry asked her as he pulled off his invisibility cloak.

Ginny smiled guiltily. "Because it's stupid, here we are hiding from everyone… and I am pregnant and you are probably being searched for, it just seemed so unimportant."

"It's not unimportant, everything about you is important Gin." Harry said firmly as he found the after sun lotion in Ginny's bag from the pharmacy. Harry poured some after sun lotion in his hands and started rubbing it in gently.

"You are sweet," Ginny cooed, the lotion was soothing her skin.

Harry smiled, he liked touching her like this. Ginny smiled back at him lovingly. It was a very intimate moment and Ginny closed her eyes peacefully. Harry was amazed that he could feel like this about anyone. If someone had told him a few months ago that he could feel like this about anyone, he would never have believed them. When Harry was done applying the lotion, he leaned down and kissed her lips softly.

After a few minutes, Harry and Ginny returned to reality and set off to find a grocery store.

Harry and Ginny walked down along the main street to the waterfront and along the boardwalk. As they walked, they watched the boats in the harbour while talking and joking like a normal, happy couple. A few hundred meters along the boardwalk, they found a store in which they could buy green grapes. Since money wasn't something they had little of Harry made Ginny buy plenty of bread, ham, cheese and milk to drink as well.

"Honestly Harry, 15 pounds! When we get out lives together I am going to hold in our money," Ginny complained as they left the store.

"Fifteen pounds isn't very much," Harry defended, "Besides it was your green grapes that were expensive."

"It was your idea that I had to eat fruit I am perfectly happy simply taking vitamins," Ginny informed him as they crossed the street down to the boardwalk again.

"You can't rely on vitamin pills, they can't replace fruit. Besides, you need to eat right and vitamins aren't a snack," said Harry, Sounding horribly like Percy, even in his own ears.

"But why did we have to get all this?" Ginny asked. "You are sweet and all Harry but two loaves of bread for a trip that takes about two hours is too much, the grapes would have been plenty."

Harry smiled guiltily under the cloak. "I just don't want you to be hungry."

Ginny giggled and fixed her eyes on the white cliffs ahead of them. "Do you honestly think I could eat two loaves of bread?"

"Well no… but you see I figured that since we are flying you might drop one in the sea," Harry explained feeling stupid and Ginny burst out laughing loudly.

Some passers by stared at Ginny but she didn't care much, she wasn't that kind of person.

"Drop one in the sea, honestly love," she whispered so that none of the onlookers could hear. "I'm starting to think I should be worried about you and not the other way around."

"Does that mean I can have some of the grapes?" Harry asked jokingly.

"You better eat some, I'll be sick if you make me eat all of them," Ginny replied.

Without any real destination, Harry and Ginny walked along the water. It was a shame Harry had to wear the invisibility cloak; he wanted to hold Ginny as they walked but it couldn't be helped and they did have a very good time just talking and joking. After a while, they started seeing signs for different ferries to Calais in France and decided that it was time to leave.

It wasn't easy to find a good hiding spot where no one would see Ginny disappearing under his cloak but they found one in the end. They settled for the same flying position they had used on the way there and kicked off. Harry had thought they would have to rely on his broom compass but as soon as they had reached some altitude, he could see France at the horizon.

"Oh I am so hungry," Ginny teased him once he had set a steady course.

"Shut up and give me a grape," Harry replied smiling brightly. He held the broom with both of his hands behind her neck and couldn't do it himself.

Ginny smiled and pulled out a grape from the food bag she had hanging around her wrist. She put the grape between her teeth and smiled at him. Harry leaned down over her and kissed her, carefully biting the grape in half.

"You know we eat way to little fruit together," said Ginny teasingly when she had swallowed her part of the grape.

"I love you Ginny," Harry replied, he didn't tell her that very often. He didn't want it to become something he just said without thinking but now was a good moment.

Ginny smiled warmly her eyes radiating sensuality. Harry felt warm all over, as usual when she looked at him that way. Her look was reserved for him alone and he knew he looked at her the same way. She giggled softly when Harry was forced readjust his position slight because of his arousal.

Ginny teased him half way to insanity and continued eating grapes together with him. Harry was so occupied by her that he didn't notice they had reached France until the coast appeared strait below them. He realised at once that they must have flown off course because all he could see underneath them was forest. As it now was getting dark, Harry had no trouble spotting a brightly lit city that had to be Calais in the distance.

"What's wrong Harry?" Ginny asked when she saw his slightly confused expression.

"Err… well you made me fly off course," Harry answered, "But it's no problem I can see Calais."

"So we are in France now?" Ginny asked.

Harry nodded.

"Tell me what you see," Ginny said.

"Well not much I'm afraid just forest…"

"No houses anywhere near?" Ginny asked playfully.

"No not that I can see… there is a road a few minutes away though," Harry replied uncertainly.

"Land," Ginny demanded grinning widely.

"Here?" Harry asked confused.

"Yes here," Ginny said seductively.

Harry quickly found a small clearing in which he landed. The hours of sexual teasing on the broom was too much for them to even bother untangling themselves from each other. It was too dark to see much of the clearing but it was fairly nice and it was covered in moss or something. Thanks to the warm dry whether it wasn't wet at all. Some time later, the two young lovers lay together under a blanket gazing at the stars, enjoying the warmth and comfort of each other.

"That's the first time outdoors," Ginny pointed out sleepily. She was closely wrapped up in his arms.

"First time in France as well," Harry replied and tried to move away from Ginny but she wouldn't let him.

"We got to find a hotel, Gin," Harry murmured wondering briefly if she wanted him once more.

Ginny shook her head. "If we can make love in the forest we can sleep here as well."

"But you might freeze," Harry exclaimed. "And there are loads of snakes and stuff here."

Ginny giggled. "If I was afraid of snakes I wouldn't marry a parselmouth would I?"

"I didn't mean snakes in particular; I was just saying there might be animals…"

"You just ravaged me like an animal we should belong here." Ginny said and yawned widely. "Besides I am sleepy now."

"But what about breakfast?" Harry asked giving in a little. Sleep was after all important for Ginny in her condition.

"We have plenty of food," Ginny reminded him in a soft voice as she closed here eyes peacefully.

Harry relented on all of this save one thing; he didn't approve of her sleeping in the nude however, and made her put some clothes on so that she wouldn't get cold even though it was a warm night. Sleeping outdoors was new to both of them but they followed their instincts and cuddled up as close as possible to each other.

Harry had a dreamless sleep and wasn't aware of anything during the night except that he felt good and at peace. The first thing he became aware of the following morning was that Hedwig or the owl that delivered the daily prophet must have made the curtains in his room to glide apart because he could feel warm sun light on his face. Harry burrowed he head deep in his pillow to escape it. He had always liked his pillow but today for some reason it felt extra good.

"Hmm," a low content sigh reached his ears. Harry was utterly confused for a moment before the memories of the past day returned to him and he realised that he was far from the smallest bedroom of number four Privet Drive and that his soft pillow was mostly made out of Virginia, soon to be, Potter's hair. As he realised this, he pulled Ginny closer.

Ginny groaned peacefully, she was just waking up as well. They didn't say anything but slowly started comforting each other in different ways. One thing let to another and they had wonderful, passionate morning sex.

"Are you hungry?" Was the first thing Harry said that morning.

"I'm very hungry," Ginny replied happily, "and thirsty too."

Harry smiled broadly and eagerly made Ginny a sandwich.

"I recon it's probably not very warm but it should be above twenty degrees at the very least. If you want to we could go swimming," said Harry when they were done with breakfast.

"Hoping to see me naked are you?" Ginny asked smilingly.

"Well… you would get to see me naked in return," Harry replied.

Ginny giggled. They packed their things and started walking through the forest towards the sea. They didn't see any risk in being spotted so Harry didn't have to bother with the invisibility cloak. After a few minutes walking, they could hear the sea and after another few minutes, the forest ended. It was not much of a beach and Harry doubted people came here to swim but on the good side, they would not be disturbed.

For once, they didn't undress each other. Once naked they gingerly walked down to the water. The stones on the beach were sharp and hurt their feet slightly.

"You know I think this is the first time I see you without a hard on in daylight," Ginny said gesturing to his privates as she care fully put one foot in the water.

"Oh," said Harry in reply, they were too far into their relationship to be embarrassed about such details. "Is that a compliment?"

Harry followed Ginny into the water carefully. It was about as cold as he had expected but not too cold.

"Absolutely," Ginny giggled.

They took a few steps out in to the water. Ginny grabbed his hand quickly for support as she walked on a sharp stone.

"Perhaps this wasn't a good idea," Harry said at once.

Ginny gave him a slightly annoyed look and fell back into the shallow water. "Now there is no risk I'll fall!" she said defiantly when her head came back above the surface making Harry grin sheepishly.

"Now you better hug me because I'm freezing," Ginny added after a moment.

Once Harry and Ginny got used to the temperature it wasn't very cold. Ginny was a much better swimmer then he was but he had expected nothing less from her.

Afterwards they spread the black cloak Ginny had used in Diagon Allay out on a cliff and let themselves dry in the sun on top of it, close together.

"I think I want to live near the sea," Ginny said dreamily as they slowly got dressed.

Harry nodded in agreement.

"I forgot your sun block!" Harry exclaimed abruptly, he had not even thought of Ginny's skin.

"I can't believe I forgot about it," he said and started rummaging around for it in their bags.

After a few moments of searching and he still hadn't found the sun block he got worried they might have dropped it somewhere.

"I really need it Harry, hurry the sun is burning so badly," Ginny pleaded desperately.

Harry started looking through their bags once more before he realised Ginny was making fun of him. He looked up at her and saw that she was holding the sun block in her hand triumphantly.

"You are going to wear me out before I am twenty," Harry muttered and took the sun block from her.

Ginny held her face up to Harry and closed her eyes, letting him apply the sun block. Caring for Ginny, Harry thought, is the best thing in the world.

Both Harry and Ginny would have felt very lost in a foreign country they had never been in before but they had each other so neither of them even thought about it. As long as they were together, they would never feel lost.

Finally France... does anyone know if there really is a forest somewhere near Calais?

You all know I like reviews, right? :-)
