All four of them disappeared at the same time. When they appeared at the Burrow it was completely dark. Harry wrapped an arm around Ginny and drew her near. Suddenly the light turned on all around them, temporarily blinding the two. In his blindness Harry drew Ginny against him to protect her. But many people jumped from every corner and just as their eyes adjusted to the light they heard…….

"SU..."

Everyone stopped and stared at the two. Harry had Ginny wrapped in his arms with his wand drawn, aimed at the person closet to him. Ginny too had her wand drawn and aimed at a different person. They looked around blankly.

Ginny felt the tension ease from Harry's body, as well as her own, when they recognized the familiar sea of red-heads and their counterparts. (Meaning their wives and children). The stunned looks on all the adult's faces melted when they saw Harry and Ginny's faces break out into equal grins.

The children, sensing the break in the tension, wormed their way out of their parents grasps and there was a mad scramble for their Aunt Ginny and Uncle Harry.

As they threw themselves onto the two, the kids all yelled, "SURPRISE!" But Harry and Ginny's replies were muffled because the force of the pack had knocked them to the ground. All that could be seen was a mass of hands and legs along with the many giggles.

Many calls were then heard as the respective parents began telling, and some demanding, that their children get off of Harry and Ginny. George reached down and scooped up his youngest, Landon, and chuckled, " Merlin Kids. Come on shove off. It's not your job to kill Uncle Harry. Aunt Ginny has her big brothers to do that. Now come on, get off of them. At least get off of Aunt Ginny, she needs to breath. Harry will be fine."

Everyone laughed as George dropped Landon onto Harry's stomach, causing Landon to laugh and a funny noise to come from Harry.

Ginny laughed along with her family and gently took 3 yr. Old Landon and set him on his feet. She then took Harry's hand and helped him to his feet. He too was laughing.

"Aunt Inny! Aunt Inny!" Ginny heard the youngest child squeal as she ran to Ginny. Ginny stooped to catch the little girl in her arms and then stood. "How's my babygirl doing?" Ginny cooed as she tickled 2 yr. old Zoey. "Are you causing trouble for Daddy?" She looked to Bill and laughed at the look on his face. "Good job babygirl. Give him hell."

"Virginia!" Mrs. Weasley called warningly. Ginny made a face at the name causing everyone to snicker. This earned them all a glare from both Mrs. Weasley and Ginny.

Ginny leaned into Harry, he wrapped his arm around her waist. Zoey squirmed to get to Harry's other arm. He took her and began laughing as Ginny's popped off. "Oh that's how it is. Eh? Love me till Harry's free to hold you? You little runt." Harry was having great difficulty keeping hold of Zoey as Ginny was tickling the child mercilessly.

Once Ginny had stopped and Zoey got her fill of being held, she wiggled until Harry set her down. She then ran off to play with Landon.

The evening went on with a very chaotic dinner in the Weasley's now expanded dining area. Harry and Ginny laughed and carried on with the rest of the family (Minus Percy) almost forgetting the reason the family had been called together.

The party moved to the backyard. Music was charmed to play continuously. Fred and George's eyes lit up and they grabbed their wives', Katie and Angelina, by the hand and began dancing strangly. Harry and Ginny just stood b watching as the pairs formed and the dancing began.

Ginny noticed Bill sitting off to the side watching. She whispered in Harry's ear, he nodded, and she went and sat next to Bill.

"Bill. You okay?"

he looked up startled and gave her a sad smile. "No……but I will be." Ginny returned his smile and followed the path his eyes traveled to his son and daughter.

"How are Brennan and Zoey doing?"

Bill sighed and dropped his head a little to run his hands over his face. "Well. Zoey asked about Mummy several times at first. But she doesn't now. I think she is beginning to understand Mummy's not coming back. Brennan still waits up for her at night to tuck him in. But I think deep down he knows…he knows she's gone." He shook his head sadly. "How can anyone call their own children that Gin?"

Ginny just shook her head and drew him into a hug. Bill pulled away. "Ginny go. This is supposed to be for you and Harry. Go be with him, I'll be fine."

Ginny reluctantly left him and returned to Harry. Harry took her hand and gave her an encouraging squeeze.

"Come on Love, let's dance." The two danced. Completely lost in their own world. They didn't see the family stop and watch them. Nor did they see the several flashes of light as pictures were took. All they saw was each other.

Suddenly Ginny was pulled from Harry's grasp. Fred twirled her wildly, she was laughing. Harry looked for Katie and found her and Angelina tending to the children. Harry saw George sneak up and grab Hermione from Ron. Causing Ron to call out in outrage and then stalk off in Harry's direction.

Harry seated himself just before Ron threw himself down onto the bench next to him, huffing. Harry just patted his arm.

"It's okay mate. Calm down. The twins are just having fun."

"I know" Ron growled. Several minutes past without a word. The two watched the twins dancing with Hermione and Ginny. More time past before Ron turned to Harry and asked, "Why all the secrecy?"

"Huh?"

"The secrecy. With you and Ginny. We never even knew you were seeing each other, let along this." Ron said, gesturing towards everything around them. "Mate, don't take this the wrong way but you live in a flat. Not that I don'' think it'' great and all, but you need to get a house or something."

Harry just looked at Ron. When Ron began speaking of the flat Harry's eyes widened and flashed angrily. "Ron you and Hermione live in a flat. The same flat the three of us lived in when we first got out of school. Or did you forget that little detail?"

Ron realized what he said, "I didn't mean that…I just…well…I…meant that…Ginny…"

Harry cut him off, his voice hard a steel, "What you meant was that Ginny deserves better than that. She does. But that is not what she wants. Ginny got what she wants. Do you remember Ron, when I moved out of our flat. I said it was to give you two space since you just got married. The truth, Me and Ginny had been looking for a place we liked for quite a while and we had found it. I moved out so I could move in with her. And do you know what? I wanted to get a house but Ginny, Ginny picked out the flat. She thought it was practical. We're never there. Think about it Ron. We are always gone, on the road with the team. Ginny thought we didn't need to get a big place yet. What's the point in having all that space if you're not there? So. Ron. Before you tell me that "I" need to get us a house, you need to get your facts straight."

Harry stood and stalked off to the house and up to Ginny's old room. He flung himself across her bed and layed there.

Ginny stopped dancing abruptly. She felt Harry's anger flow through her and she looked to where she thought he was. But all she saw was a very confused Ron.

She left George standing there, calling that she would dance with him later.

"Ron where is he?" Ron just stared at her. "Ron! What did you say to him? Son help me if you did something bloody stupid, I swear I'll hex you. I swear it! Now where is he!"

Ron only raised his hand and pointed towards the Burrow. Ginny sent him a hateful look and ran off to the house.

Ginny walked through the house calling to Harry. Opening the door to her old room she was greeted by total darkness. Once her eyes had adjusted, she saw harry laying on her bed, facing the wall.

"Harry. What's wrong? What did that git say?" She got no answer.

Ginny moved to sit behind him but he still didn't acknowledge her presence.

"Harry…" she started as she lay down behind him and wrapped her arm around him. "Harry. Come on. Tell me what's wrong."

Harry's hand covered hers. "Nothing Love. I just got a little short with Ron. No worries."

"What did he say?"

"Noth…"

"What did he say?"

Harry sighed and turned onto his back to look at her. She propped herself up on her elbow, her other hand laid across his stomach.

"He just started talking about me and you. And all the hush hush."

"Now I know he said more than that Harry." Came a warning tone.

Silence filled the air until Ginny gently pushed down on his stomach, glaring at him.

Sighing he continued, "He made a comment about the flat, okay?"

Ginny felt her insides twist. Harry was overly concerned with making sure Ginny had everything she needed and sometimes wanted. He always wanted to make sure she knew he loved her. He had always worried that he wasn't good enough for her and that he could never give her everything she deserved. Her eyes narrowed, "What do you mean?"

"He started in about how we should have a house. I mean come on Gin, him and Hermione live in a flat for Merlin's sake. I know what he meant. He meant that what I give you isn't good enough and that I'm not good enough. That I don't do my best to give you what you deserve is we only live in a flat. Tell me what's wrong with a flat. We're hardly ever home, why would we need some huge house if we aren't there?"

Ginny smiled inwardly at Harry's rant. 'He's turning into a Weasley,' she thought warmly. Then what Ron had said sunk in. "I told that bloody prat that if he said anything I'd hex him!" she said, attempting to get up but Harry wouldn't let her.

"Gin no. It's stupid. I overreacted, don't worry about it."

"Harry. That prat shouldn't be saying things like that." Harry silenced her with a kiss. "Love. Calm down. It's nothing."

After several minutes of Harry's calming words, Ginny finally settled down and laid her head on Harry's chest.

"You know…we really should go back down there."

Ginny yawned, "No. They probably won't even miss us. Mum and Dad expect us to stay tonight anyway. The party will continue all day tomorrow so don't worry about it."

"Can we just stay up here then?"

"Course we can."

"Your parents won't get mad for me sleeping in here?" Ginny didn't even give a voice response to that. She just raised her head and gave him the 'look.' Harry chuckled.

She laid her lead down again. Both were exhausted from the Quidditch practice earlier that day. In minutes of the silence, they were both fast asleep. Unaware when the children were brought in and put to bed. Or that the party continued after that without them. Neither heard when the others stumbled upstairs and fell into their beds.

The only thing that disturbed them was when their door opened, followed by a little voice asking, "Aunt Inny? Uncky Arry?" followed by a deeper voice in a harsh whisper, "Zoey! Get back out here. Leave them alone."

Ginny opened her eyes and looked up a fraction and saw Harry looking back at her. She smiled and rolled over so her back was to him and she was facing the door.

Bill saw their movement and cast a meek smile. "Sorry guys. Zoey, get over here. Now."

The little girl's bottom lip began to tremble and she cried out, "But I wanna sleep with Aunt Inny and Uncky Arry."

"No, they don't want…"

"No it's okay Bill. She's alright." Harry yawned.

"She can sleep here if she wants." Ginny added as she raised one edge of their blanket and beckoned the child, "Come on babygirl, let's go to sleep."

The child happily climbed into the bed and snuggled up to Ginny. "Night Daddy."

"Are you sure you don't mind?" Bill asked, stifling a yawn. Harry spoke up again, "It's no problem. Don't worry so much. Now go to bed and get some sleep."

"Night guys. Thanks" Bill said as he walked out. Closing the door.

The three chorused their goodnights. Harry turned on his side and pulled Ginny to him so her back was to his stomach. Ginny and Zoey were both using his right arm as a pillow. His left arm snaked around Ginny and his hand rested of Zoey's back. Harry smiled when he felt Zoey's little hand rest on his arm. With that the trio fell asleep.
