Chapter 45 You Call this a Honeymoon? Part One
Leaving was a nightmare to say the least. Had they known how things would work out would they have gone? On top of five screaming two year olds, begging them not to leave, Draco was only just settling in to being a parent. The other adults had to force the Potters out the door. Feeling guiltily, the two left the house and apperated to the Five Star Wizarding Hotel in the heart of Magic Italy. Smiling as the doors opened by two Wizards dressed in fine black robes, the two newlyweds stepped in admiring the beautiful architecture.
"How may I help you?" A woman with long blond hair tied in a tight bun, and wearing beautiful black dress robes asked with a smile.
"Potters, we have reservations." Harry grinned back still taken by the building.
"Oh no! He didn't!" The receptionist mumbled, shaking her head.
"I'm sorry there has been a problem with your reservation, let me go talk to the manager." The woman disappeared. Ginny and Harry looked at each other with unease then sat down in the lush chairs that had appeared behind them.
"Boy, Draco wasn't kidding when he said we would love this place." Ginny whispered. "I wonder if the ceiling is made of real gold."
"According to Hermione it is. Nothing here is made artificially, nothing fake."
"Interesting, I think husband of mine, that you have spent a little to much time with Ron's soon to be wife." Ginny grinned. Harry grinned back shrugging his shoulders. Before he could reply however the receptionist appeared again.
"I am so very sorry, we have a new staff member who just started working with reservations. I'm afraid he isn't too good at it yet, and when your reservation came in he was being unsupervised and made a mistake. He gave you the honeymoon suite, only he forgot to save, and the suite was given to somebody else. Now I have talked to the manager and he has given me permission to give you a pass to come back at a later date and stay in the honeymoon suite free of charge for a week." Harry and Ginny looked at each other and sighed.
"Okay, do you have any other rooms?" Harry asked.
"I'm afraid not. The Magical Theater is in town and almost all the hotels in Magic Italy are booked, I'm afraid. If you don't find a place in Magical Italy I can get you a listing of hotels in Muggle Italy that are relatively close to the magical entrances.
"Okay will take that, thank you." Ginny nodded sadly taking one more good look around the beautiful building before grabbing the list of hotels they slowly walked out. If there were any rooms' available in magic Italy when the receptionist talked to them, there was not anymore. Every hotel, motel, and bed and breakfast in Magic Italy was filled much to their dismay. So they journeyed out into the Muggle world, where they found that they were not the only ones with this idea. The Muggle managers of many hotels were shocked to see a bombardment of strange looking people filling up their prestige hotels. It was because of this that Ginny and Harry found themselves in the most dingy hotel room ever seen, with a single twin bed. The room was once wall papered in ducks, then painted over in a ugly yellow. The reason the two eighteen year olds new this was because the wallpaper was falling off in several odd places, and you could see the ducks through the one coat of paint.
Locking the door with the locks that came with the room then with magic, the two set to work fixing up the windowless room. Tired, they fell asleep snuggled together, happily.
BAM! "Ahh!" The two teens yelled as their bed collapsed to the floor. Groaning the two didn't even bother getting up before falling back to sleep.
Sleeping in for the first time in ages had the couple waking up with smiles, despite the happenings of the night before. Taking there time the couple fixed the bed, took a shower together then walked out of there room carefully re-locking there door magically behind them. They were almost out of the lobby when they ran in to a couple around there own age, who had stopped to take a picture.
"Oh, were terribly sorry." Ginny smiled.
"That's okay, should make for an interesting picture. John Rosy by the way, and this is my lovely wife Alice.
"Nice to meet you! I am Ginny Potter and this is my husband Harry." Ginny grinned shaking their hands, as was Harry.
"Harry Potter...THE Harry Potter?" Alice screeched jumping up and down. Harry looked slightly confused being they were in the Muggle world and as far as he new, he was not famous there.
"Umm, yeah...how..."
"Were wizards also!" John whispered loudly. "It's a pleasure to meet you. Where are you headed this fine afternoon?" Harry looked outside to find that it was storming.
"Umm, the other part of Italy, where we plan on exploring." Ginny grinned.
"Ah, how romantic. By the way if you didn't know there is a alleyway behind the hotel it's perfect for apperating."
"Are you sure? I wouldn't want to have to have the Ministry down our backs if Muggles accidentally see us." Ginny asked looking around them, for any eve's droppers.
"Oh no, Muggles don't know about it. It was built because the hotels in magic Italy are filled so often that wizards stay in Muggle Italy all the time. There is a brick wall if you go around to the side, the code is the same as the one to get into Diagon Alley." John smiled, "Well we really must be going. Spending the day exploring the Muggle world, hope you have fun!"
"We will, thank you!" Harry said waving goodbye. They walked hand in hand to the side of the building and quickly got through the wall, where they apperated to the front of the Five Star Wizarding Hotel the only place they could picture in there minds so that they could apperate properly. The couple smiled at finding the sun shining in this part of Italy. Two new men started to open the door of the hotel but Harry stopped them, he and his wife began to walk towards the park, they didn't make it very far however.
