Molly, Ginny and Hermione were giggling at the breakfast table the day after Harry left. Hermione had spent the night with Ginny for an all night gabfest. Now Ginny was imparting some of the wedding night to her mum. Ron was sitting at the opposite end of the table. He did not want to hear about his sister's sex life. Every time the three of them giggled, he shot them a glare. Since they were giggling almost nonstop, he was glaring at them all through breakfast.

Ginny whispered to Hermione and called out to Ron, "Want to know how it went Ron?"

He shook his head furiously and grabbed a piece of toast before running out the door. The three women were laughing uproariously at his reaction.

Ron was sitting under a tree in the orchard watching the golems play catch when Hermione found him. "I'm sorry for how we acted this morning. It was just too much fun to wind you up though. Forgive me?"

He nodded and she kissed his cheek. She sat down beside him and rested her cheek on his shoulder.

"When are you going to ask my parents?"

He thought about that and shrugged. "I'm not sure. It's hard for me to leave the Burrow now. Since I'm still underage so I doubt my parents will let me and the floo… is your house connected to the floo still?"

She nodded. "How about we go at the beginning of the Christmas break? Then if they say yes, we can tell my parents," He asked.

She nodded again and kissed his brow.

"Harry knows."

She sat up when he said that. "How?"

"I told him. We were in my room talking before all the guests arrived."

"Why?"

"I had to tell someone. I was excited."

She laughed and he thought it sounded like fingers strumming a harp.

"Well since you told Harry I have a suggestion. Ask him what he knows about sex before we make love. Ginny says he's quite adept."

Ron grimaced. "All right but guy talk about sex is somewhat different than girl talk."

She flicked his ear. "Guy? Girl? That sounds pretty sexist to me. Don't you mean woman talk?"

He covered his ear and nodded sullenly. "Yes dear."

She smirked and twined her fingers in his hand. "The ceremony was beautiful."

"It was nice. Thanks for making sure I didn't make a fool of myself."

She nodded and put her head in his shoulder again. He wrapped his arm around her and watched a butterfly land on his shoe.

"This summer has been so perfect. I don't want to go back to school."

She nodded.

The butterfly flitted off and flew to Hermione's hand. She watched it flex its wings then take off again flitting to the flowers around the trees.

Then Hermione said something that shocked Ron. "We could just elope."

"Are you serious? Faultless Hermione wants to do something like that?"

She thought about it then nodded. "Not right now. However, it would be romantic. We could go to Hawaii or something and get married on the beach."

He thought about it and laid his head in Hermione's lap. "Mum would kill me. Sounds perfect."

She smiled and played with his hair as he drifted off to sleep.

"They plan to elope, eh?"

"Shame he's got nothing to be bribed for."

"Too true Charlie."

Bill and Charlie walked off laughing quietly. Though they planned to tease Ron, they wouldn't tell mum. Charlie had wanted to borrow a book from Hermione and found her not in her room this morning. He had told Bill and they had decided to tease Ron about it as much as possible.

"Mum, I broke the champagne bottle while we were in bed."

Molly looked at Ginny and realized she meant something other than how it sounded. She laughed slightly.

"There were also fireworks above the cottage off and on throughout the night."

Ginny's face reddened when her mum told her that.

"Did you drink the potion?" Molly asked her daughter. She nodded.

"It took a lot to do it though. I want kids soon."

Molly laughed. "And I want grandchildren." She tickled her daughter's side.

"How does it feel being Mrs. Potter?"

"Like I'm part of something special. I miss him so much," Ginny said.

The two were packing up Harry and Ginny's gifts and preparing for the trip to the station in a few days. Neither had opened any of the gifts yet. She wanted to do it with him. She looked at the gift from the Queen and decided that she would open just this one.

When she opened the box, she gasped. A beautiful tiara with an emerald in the center sat in a bed of purple velvet. Molly looked in the box and gasped.

"Who gave you that?"

"The Queen did. She said she hoped I could get some use out of it. It's so beautiful. Oh, I hope there's a ball. My first ball as Mrs. Harry Potter with this tiara…" she sighed with happiness.

Molly was grinning and she helped Ginny prepare the rest of the presents for shipment to the school. Ginny was reading a letter Harry had left for her when a school owl tapped on the window. Molly went to the window and retrieved the letter. She handed it to Ginny who sighed when she read the letter. Molly looked over her shoulder at it.

Ginny,

I love you Mrs. Potter. –H

Molly grinned. "At least you get to see him soon and be with him all the time. I was separated from your father for days and weeks at a time when we first married."

Ginny sighed again and held the letter to her chest as she walked to her cottage.

Harry was bored to tears. He was stuck at the castle doing absolutely nothing. Remus and Sirius had prepared his lesson plans for him and they were now decorating his sleeping quarters. He decided to see if there were any rooms he didn't know about. He waved his hand and the map flew into his hand. He looked over the map and noticed that Madame Maxime and Hagrid were walking by the lake. Then he noticed names in the forest that he didn't recognize. He flitted from his room as a phoenix down to Hagrid.

Hagrid didn't recognize the bird at first. Then remembered what Ron and Hermione had told him. He told Olympe he would be back in a moment. The two headed towards Hagrid's cabin. When they were inside Harry asked Hagrid if he knew there were people in the forest.

Hagrid nodded and told Harry to change back. Hagrid walked out to the clearing where Harry looked up to see five giants. One female and four males.

"Change back 'Arry." Harry flitted off of Hagrid's shoulder and Hagrid introduced Harry to his mum and her followers. They had traveled back to help Dumbledore and were the representatives to the Ministry of Magic from the last of the giants.

Harry spoke with Hagrid and his mum for a bit before he headed back to make sure his godfather and uncle hadn't destroyed his room. [A/n: I can't write Hagrid talking. I just can't write someone talking that badly. And I'll never do a authors note in the middle of a story again. I can't stand the mother thumpers. Therefore, I'll let you get back to the story without any more supposition starting right now. See? Back to the story… err, sorry. Back to the story now. Promise not to do this again. :)]

Harry was glaring at Sirius. His room was pink and covered with frilly lace everywhere.

"We did it for Ginny."

"My girlf… err, wife loved my room as it was. Change it back before I make you two puppies for the rest of your life. If you don't have it done by the time I get back, I'm removing your genitalia. I have to go down to the kitchen with Dobby's gift."

Harry picked up a box and slipped his cloak over him. As he was walking down the hall, he saw Severus Snape carrying a stack of books. He grinned and waved his wand turning all the books into the 'Monster Book of Monsters'. Severus screamed Sirius' name as Harry made his escape down to the kitchen.

"Harry comes to see Harry Potter. Dobby is keeping Harry's secret. Dobby is good secret keeper. Dobby fixes food for Harry. Harry must be hungry."

"Actually I came down to give you a gift."

The other elves turned and stared longingly at Harry when he mentioned this. Dobby opened the box and found a perfect set of Gryffindor Quidditch robes in his size. Dobby had tears running down his face as he made Harry a feast for a snack.

Harry was grinning as he strolled back up to his quarters under his cloak. Dobby said he would bring them dinner every night from now on. He could spend more time with Gin, he thought.

Fawkes was waiting in his room with a message when he got back. He took the note and read it. He smiled and looked at Fawkes.

"She called you?"

*I was needed there. Your wife misses you much, brother.*

"I miss her too."

The note read,

I love you too. -Gin

Fawkes flitted out of the room and Harry checked to see if Sirius and Remus had undone the horrors they had visited upon the room.

Harry was somewhat disappointed. They hadn't even tried to hex anything. The threatened removal of their genitalia must have scared the hell out of them, he thought.

Ginny woke up and was elated. Soon she'd have Harry with her again. She and Hermione were packed and ready to go while Ron had to find his stuff still.

The three students piled out of the limo and watched the driver pull out their trunks. He piled them on a cart and wheeled it in behind them.

"Have a good school year. Tell Harry hi for me."

"Thanks daddy."

"Thanks dad."

Arthur hugged Ron and Ginny. He went to shake Hermione's hand when his belt started buzzing. He sighed and turned to his chauffeur.

"Bye kids. Back to the Ministry, Orik."

The driver nodded and Ron pushed the cart through the portal to the platform. They passed through darkness until they saw the Hogwart's Express. The guard nodded hello and his assistant took their trunks to the train for them. Dean and Seamus pulled off Ron and Hermione and Ginny went to talk to some of her classmates.

Ginny was telling a fictional account of her summer away from Harry when someone behind her insulted her.

"Looks like the poor little weasel doesn't have Harry Potter to protect her. You think your father and the ministry will win? The Dark Lord will triumph. You shouldn't even have come back. Your boyfriend will be dead soon enough."

Ginny turned and stared at Carmi Derrick. He was a distant cousin of Draco Malfoy and hated Ginny with a passion.

Ginny and her friends walked away.

Harry was sitting on top of the Hogwart's express. He glared at the boy who was speaking to Ginny. Harry began to trill and all the students looked up at him. All of the Gryffindors were elated to see a phoenix since most had only seen Fawkes from a distance if they were lucky. The song of the phoenix disturbed all of Slytherin while the majority of Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw were as uplifted as the Gryffindors were. Ginny looked up and saw her husband. He flew down to her and dropped a letter in her hand.

Harry stroked her cheek with his head as Ginny stroked his feathers. A few second years walked up to her with a box.

"Can you give this to Harry?" one asked. "It's for his and Professor Sirius' dog. We thought he might be out of his favorite treats."

She looked down at the box of Sugarquills then she remembered the story Sirius had told. She smiled and nodded. The girls walked away as she looked at her left hand. No one had noticed the ring yet or if they had, they hadn't said anything.

Ginny got on the train and found the compartment that Ron and Hermione were in. Hermione squealed when she saw Harry on her shoulder. Ron grinned and Harry changed back for a moment so he could kiss his wife and get hugged by Hermione. Ron pounded his brother in law on his back and then Harry changed back.

Harry listened to Ginny tell Ron and Hermione about the encounter with Derrick. Hermione had to hold Ron back from going to find him and beat his face in. Harry trilled his laughter at that and Ginny smiled while stroking his feathers.

Harry flew off of Ginny's shoulder and waited for her to arrive at the carriages.

Ginny crashed into Harry when she saw him at the carriages. "I missed you," she cried.

He grinned and whispered in her ear, "I love you Mrs. Potter."

She blushed slightly and looked down at their rings. Ron and Hermione walked up to them and they all climbed into a carriage. Harry told Ron he knew about the incident with Mr. Derrick and he would take care of it himself.

When they got out of the carriage, Harry led them into the Great Hall. Harry and Ginny went to sit at the head table while Ron and Hermione went to Gryffindor's table.

Albus grinned at Ginny. "Welcome back Mrs. Potter." Ginny turned bright red and whispered back hello.

Harry grinned and said to her, "Padfoot and Moony turned my room pink to welcome you back."

She looked at the two in horror. "His room was perfect, change it back."

The two laughed as Harry told her that it was already back to normal.

Ginny wrapped her hand in Harry's as they watched the sorting ceremony and then listened to the announcements. After they all finished their meal Ginny and Harry made their way back to their quarters.

The two made love all night to celebrate their reunion.
