Chapter 48 - You Call this a Honeymoon? Part Four
"What just happened?" Ginny asked wide-eyed.
"I have no idea, that has never happened before." Harry whispered as he looked around them. They appeared to be in Muggle Italy behind the Lucky Hotel.
"We both thought of the Five Star Hotel, and yet we both ended up here." Ginny exclaimed. The couple tried again only to find that they had not moved but a few inches.
"Okay, so apperating seems to be out, let's walk." Harry sighed, already tired. So they began to walk.
"I am incredibly hungry, honey. Can we stop somewhere and eat?" Ginny moaned as she stared at a restaurant they were passing by halfway through Muggle Italy."
"Well you are pregnant, I am not at all surprised, however I spent all our muggle money on our room at the Lucky." Ginny nodded mournfully before they began to walk again. The walk, in all; lasted two hours, it was nearing midnight before the couple stepped into the Five Star Hotel. Despite the time, the place seemed filled with people. Harry walked up to the front desk.
"Excuse me, sir. May I ask why we could not apperate here tonight?"
"I'm sorry, whenever out rooms are all filled we put up apparition words to all none-guests.
"We are guests, and we still could not apperate in! I am pregnant, I'm hungry and we just had to walk two hours from MUGGLE Italy!" The man helping them looked terrified.
"Let me get your names, room number and I will send up food to your room, no charge. I will also give you a weeks free stay here." Harry rolled his eyes, they were beginning to get enough free space here that they would never have to go home again.
"Ginny and Harry Potter, were staying in the ministry suit with the British Minister of Magic because you messed up our reservations." Ginny yelled. People stopped and looked before going on with their business.
"I am so very sorry." With that, the couple went to there room, forgetting about the lake.
The next morning, found the couple sleeping in. It was almost noon before they stumbled out of their room and into the living room, clean and fully dressed. Ginny ate a huge lunch, and they got out of the Hotel before the Minister could ask more questions. After stopping at the local Gringotts to exchange money, the couple decided a day in the Muggle world sounded like fun. Wondering around Muggle Italy was a beautiful experience, with the culture and the lifestyle. At dinner the couple decided to try there hands at art, and ate on the rooftop of a wonderful Italian restaurant. Equipped with art supplies, the couple began to draw the city from where they saw it.
"It is a wonderful view, isn't it?" A voice that made Harry and Ginny cringe spoke from behind them.
"Alice, John! Long time no see!" Ginny put on a fake smile before standing up and hugging the other couple. Harry shook their hands.
"So how is your art coming along?" Alice asked inspecting the drawing, which did not look much like what they were supposed to. "Ah, with a little work, the two of you could do it. I just can't believe we are meeting each other again! It's fate. We have not seen you at the hotel, you must be leaving early."
"Oh, no left the hotel, and are staying with the Minister of Magic at the Five Star."
"Really?!? Wow, we have never even been near the Minister of Magic, what's it like?"
"Oh, we have gotten to know him well over the years, however it's always business. Speaking of which, I don't know how safe the Lucky Hotel is, I would not stay there long." Ginny whispered.
"Oh! Do you know something? How exciting, are Deatheaters staying there or something?"
"Not exactly, but close. Were not really supposed to say anything, I just would try and find a place away from that area." Harry glared at Ginny, before putting a smile back on his face. Ginny only nodded.
"Well, then we will leave tonight. We were looking at another hotel, anyway." Alice grinned. "So are you going to the show tonight?"
"Who isn't? I'm just glad we got tickets months ago. They sold out so fast!" Harry said with a grin.
"Us too, maybe we will see you there?"
"Maybe!" Ginny's mouth was getting tired from the fake grin on her face.
"Well, then we will let you eat, and will see you tonight!" Harry and Ginny nodded before sitting back down looking at their hopeless picture.
"Oh well." Harry smiled and kissed his wife.
That night came quickly, after exploring London the couple snuck back to their room, grabbed their tickets and snuck back out. The Minister of Magic met them outside, a 'I should have known' could be heard from Ginny, only by Harry. He grinned in response.
"Are the two of you going to the show?" The minister asked who like Harry and Ginny, was in his nice dress robes.
"But of course!" Ginny grinned.
"Would you mind if I accompany you to the theater?" Harry gave an almost silent sigh only Ginny could hear, before he grinned and nodded. "Very good then! There is a wizard enhanced limousine out front, waiting for us, let's get going then." The Italian Minister of Magic with his wife walked up to them.
"Ah, Minister Federico! Mrs. Federico, A pleasure to see you again. Will you be accompanying us to the theater?"
"Yes, who is this fine young couple? Friends of yours?" Federico grinned.
"Oh yes! This is Mr. Harry Potter and his lovely wife Mrs. Ginny Potter."
"Really? It is a pleasure to finally meet the two of you. Perhaps someday, one of you will sit in the Ministers chair. Hmm?" The couple only smiled before being led to the limousine, where that could all sit very comfortably. "So I hear the two of you are teaching at Hogwarts and going to school yourselves, what are you training in?"
"Healers." Ginny responded.
"A noble line of work, though I think I just lost in the pool. I said you would become Aurors." The group laughed, they arrived at the theater within three minutes of departing, being the theater was only three streets from the hotel. Wizards and witches stood in line waiting to go in, mouth a gap as the two Ministers of Magic stepped out along with The-Boy-Who-Lived himself with his wife, who was currently having a deep conversation with Mrs. Federico. An usher hurried out to the car and ushered them to the front of the line, they were the first ones in, and having seen the line which spread down at least three blocks, Harry was suddenly glad he accepted the ride with the Minister. The group was all placed in the front row and the large multi-story building field quickly. It was three minutes until when the show was do to start when the screaming started.
"What just happened?" Ginny asked wide-eyed.
"I have no idea, that has never happened before." Harry whispered as he looked around them. They appeared to be in Muggle Italy behind the Lucky Hotel.
