A/N: AHHH! A new chapter! Sorry it took so long! Long A/N at end of the chapter!

Ginny and Harry only got about an hour alone, tops. They had both fallen asleep on the couch and Ginny only woke up when she heard practically the whole Weasley family in the kitchen. Harry was still asleep, his face covered by his hand, his head still resting on his shoulder.

"Ginny, can you come in here? I need help getting dinner ready." Mrs. Weasley called from the kitchen.

Ginny looked down at Harry. He looked so peaceful, she couldn't even think of waking him up. But her brother had other plans.

Fred and George both came into the living room, both talking about Ginny as if she wasn't in the room with them.

"She can be so rude to her elders. Not that we were the best to them, but at least we had the respect to come when Mum called us." George said.

"Lets face it, she can be rude to everyone at times." Fred agreed.

"Hello! I'm right here you know." Ginny said from her spot on the couch.

Fred and George looked over at Ginny. They both dropped their jaws at the sight in front of them and rushed over to Ginny. They successfully pulled Ginny off of the couch, while Harry still slept, his face covered.

"Who's this!" Fred angrily yelled, gesturing at Harry.

George grabbed Harry by the arm and pulled him off of the couch. Harry finally woke up at that point and his eyes lazily opened up.

Fred dropped Ginny's arm while George dropped Harry's.

"I must be dreaming." Fred said as he walked closer towards Harry.

"If you're dreaming then so am. He's definitely real. I have a feeling I wouldn't have been able to hold his arm if he was an imaginary dream person." George said.

"Fred! George!" Harry said happily, now wide awake and staring at the two redheads.

"He's real." Fred said stupidly as he grabbed Harry in a manly hug. "It's nice to have you home, mate."

While Fred was welcoming Harry home, George was yelling at the top of his lungs, "Mum! Dad! Bill! Charlie! Ginny! Oh wait you're already here."

Ginny rolled her eyes at how stupid her brother could be. All of a sudden there was a sound of hurried footsteps. Fred had let go of Harry and now George was welcoming him back. A group of redheads all appeared in the doorway of the living room.

"Oh my goodness." Mr. Weasley said quietly to himself.

Mrs. Weasley, on the other hand, ran towards Harry. She pushed George out of the way and began to hug him tightly. Ginny was afraid that she might crush him.

"Oh Harry it's so great to have you back. We've missed you so much. Life hasn't been the same without you."

Finally Fred had to say, "Mum he just got back, you don't want to suffocate him to death."

Mrs. Weasley laughed and let go of Harry. "It's just so great to have you back." She smiled at him and gave him a kiss on the cheek.

Everyone ran towards him and began welcoming him home.

Mrs. Weasley suddenly yelled out, "This is a time to celebrate! I think a Weasley feast sounds about right for this situation." Mrs. Weasley turned towards the kitchen but turned back towards Ginny. "Ginny, can you help me? This is going to be on of the biggest dinners we've ever had."

"Sure." Ginny gave Harry a kiss and walked towards the kitchen. She could hear her brothers and Harry all talking about who was having the best season of qudditch.

Mrs. Weasley was leaning against the counter, almost for support.

"He's back." She whispered.

"I know, Mum. Isn't this wonderful?" Ginny said, true happiness in her voice, for the first time in two years.

"Of course, dear. Have you asked him any questions? Or do you think it's too early to ask?"

"I haven't asked him anything yet. I think it's too early to ask him. I'll just let him tell me when he's ready. He should relax and enjoy his first day back."

"I think that's a wise decision. Alright let's get this dinner started."

Ginny and Mrs. Weasley spent about an hour preparing dinner before Ginny realized that some of the family was missing.

"Mum, where's the rest of the family? They should be here."

"Well Percy should be at work right now, and I'm sure Penelope is watching Morgan. And I think Jessica and Christina went shopping with the kids. The rest are off doing their own things." Mrs. Weasley answered.

Just then Bill and Charlie both walked into the kitchen.

"He hasn't changed a bit." Bill said.

Charlie came up to them and grabbed a piece of toast. "It's like he never left." He said before he took a huge bite.

"When are the girls coming over?" Ginny asked.

"They'll be here soon. They were going to buy some new clothes for Christina." Charlie said.

Just then there was a loud "CRACK" right in front of them.

"Hello all!" A very cheerful Ron said. Right after the very cheerful words were out of Ron's mouth Hermione appeared beside him.

"Ron! Hermione! You'll never believe who's here!" Mrs. Weasley said quickly.

"Umm I bet I can take a guess." Ron said, flashing Ginny a grin. "Could it be, oh I don't know, Harry?"

"Har- wait what? How did you know that Harry was back?" Mrs. Weasley said obviously puzzled.

"You see, Mrs. Weasley, we were here earlier. We've already seen and had a nice long chat with him." Hermione explained.

"And you never tried to track me down to tell me that a boy who I treat like a son, who has been gone for two years, is back!" Mrs. Weasley nearly yelled, instead she settled with her voice rising higher then usual.

"Sorry Mum. We just thought that Harry and Ginny could use some time alone. After all it has been over two years." Ron stated wisely.

"For once, Ron, you make sense." Mrs. Weasley said as Ginny and Hermione doubled over with laughter.

While the girls were laughing Ron was scowling at them. "I'll have you know that I'm always right." He told them, with a frown on his face.

Hermione walked up to Ron and gave him a kiss, she then patted him on the shoulder. "You're right, dear." She then took his hand and led him out of the kitchen, to go see Harry again.

"Ginny, go get your brother so that they can help set up the tables." Mrs. Weasley told her.

"Alright, but you do know that they wont be happy about actually helping. You know that's against their own rules." Ginny said laughing. She then walked out to the living room and found every one sitting around talking. "You guys Mum wants you to set the tables."

Surprisingly all of her brothers got up and went to set up the tables. Harry also got up to join them.

"I'll help you guys." He said.

"Oh it's alright, Harry, you don't have to." Ginny objected.

"It's been a long time since I've set up tables. I'll have no problem helping." Harry said, giving her a kiss on her nose.

"Alright, alright. I know there's no point arguing with you, you'll obviously win." Ginny gave in and started walking back to the kitchen, with a silly grin on her face.

The pair both went outside and saw that her brothers were setting up two big picnic tables. Harry and Ginny grabbed the silverware and headed towards the tables. Once they were in place Harry and Ginny began to set the table.

Ginny couldn't remember the last time Harry and Ginny had set the table together. It had been quite a while.

When they were done with that Ginny realized something. "Harry I'll be right back." She said before she went back into the house. She then apparated to Sirius' old house.

Remus looked up from his paper that he was reading as Ginny appeared with a "CRACK".

"Hello Ginny. It's nice to know that you actually decided to show up to clean." Moody said he turned from making his coffee at the counter.

"Moody, you do know that she volunteered. It would be alright if she hadn't shown." Tonks said.

"Yes that's right Moody. So, Ginny what are you doing here, so late in the afternoon?" Remus asked smiling.

"Well I came to invite you to dinner with us. All of you, I have a surprise waiting at home." Ginny then apparated after the words left her mouth.

Remus, Moody, and Tonks all looked quizzically at each other before getting up and apparating towards the Weasley home.

Ginny smiled as she entered the living room and yelled for Harry. She had a feeling the three guests she had just invited were in for a shock.

Harry came into the room. "Ginny, we're about to sit down to eat."

"I know that I just have something to show you."

Right on cue all three of them appeared by Ginny's side. Tonks screamed when she saw that Harry was in front of her, while Remus just looked on with his mouth hanging open, while Moody was the first to move towards Harry.

"Harry," Moody said, extending his hand which Harry took and shook. "It's good to have you back. Confused the hell out of us as to where you were."

"It's good to know that you haven't changed, Moody." Harry said smiling, as he looked at Moody's wondering eye.

Remus finally walked up to Harry and gave him a hug. "If I wasn't able to give you a hug right now I'd think that I was dreaming." He said his eyes still wide.

"Most people have said that to me lately." Harry said laughing. Ginny thought that Harry was taking all of this great. She didn't want to think about the field day the papers would have once they found out that Harry was back, alive and healthy.

Tonks walked up to Harry, wordlessly, and poked him in the chest. Harry brought his hand up to his chest and began to rub where Tonks had just poked him. She was about to poke him again when he stopped her with his hands.

"I know what you're thinking Tonks, and yes I am real." He said with his famous grin.

Tonks just looked at him and then finally laughed and gave him a very big hug. "I'm sorry Harry I just had to see for myself." She said to him once they had let go of each other.

"Well you could have just hugged me like most people have been doing."

"I didn't want to be like everyone else." Tonks said stubbornly.

Harry just laughed and went over to Ginny and put his arm around her shoulder, while Ginny smiled up at him.

"We're about to eat you guys." Hermione said as she came into the living room. Once she acknowledged the three guests she gave them all smiles. "I hope you three will be joining us. We have more then enough food. This is more then a Weasley feast."

"We'd be delighted to, Hermione." Remus said politely.

All of them walked outside to where the whole Weasley family was seated, including grandchildren.

"Remus! Moody! Tonks!" Mrs. Weasley said as she got up to hug all of them. "I'm so happy you're here. Sit, sit. We have more then enough food. Not even my sons can eat all of this." She said gesturing towards the table.

Everyone laughed while Fred had to get his two cents in. "Well we can always try. I bet you 5 galleons that we can eat all of this."

"Alright, Fred, you have a deal." Mrs. Weasley stuck out her hand for Fred to shake. Fred took it and they agreed that it was a bet.

"I forgot that you never know what will happen at these dinners." Harry said laughing. "You guys are quite the family, and I mean that in a good way."

Ginny sat down next to Harry and took his hand. Everyone served themselves and began to eat the wonderful food that Mrs. Weasley and Ginny had made. Towards the end of the dinner Mr. Weasley stood up with his glass.

"I'd like to make a toast," He announced, before clearing his throat. "To Harry. It's great to have you back. We were all lost without you. Although we all missed you we know that Ginny's was the most devastated. Now we can actually believe that on her face right now is a real smile and not a forced one. And it's great to know that you can do that to our little girl." Mr. Weasley smiled at everyone and raised his glass higher. "To Harry!"

Everyone toasted and by the end of the speech Mrs. Weasley was crying. "That was one of the best speeches you've ever made, Arthur." She said, wiping her eyes.

When everyone was finished eating they headed back inside while Harry and Ginny cleaned up the table.

"Are you going to stay here tonight?" Ginny asked.

"Actually, I was thinking about going back to my old apartment. It's probably a mess." He said, just thinking about the mess that lay ahead.

"It's not the cleanest place, but Tonks and I did clean out the refrigerator. That smelled awfully good." She said sarcastically.

"Do you want to spend the night at my place, Gin?" Harry asked, with a hopeful look on his face.

"No." Ginny said simply, turning around to grab a plate. The only thing Harry didn't see was that she had a smile on her face.

"Oh alright." He sounded disappointed and Ginny turned around.

"Do you really think I'd miss a chance to stay at your lovely place?" She asked giving him a kiss.

"Well now I'm not sure I want you at my place." Harry said, being stubborn.

"Alright I'm sure I can go down to the Leaky Cauldron and find someone willing to take me to their apartment." Ginny flashed Harry a grin.

"We can't have that. I guess you'll have to come to my apartment."

"I suppose."

They finished cleaning up and headed back inside. Everyone was talking and drinking tea.

"Mum, I'm going to be spending the night at Harry's place. I'll be back in the morning." Ginny gave her parents a kiss and went to go pack for her stay at Harry's.

Before she was out of the living room she distinctly heard Ron say, "I think I should spend the night at Harry's too. It could be like old times. Watching those things on that shiny thing that Harry has in his living room."

"Television, Ron, television." Harry said, sighing.

Thirty minutes after "saying" that they were leaving, and after many complaints from Ron that he should go to, Ginny and Harry were finally on their way to Harry's old apartment.

When they got there Harry looked around. He went straight towards his old room. Ginny followed behind him, she had a feeling that he had a pacific reason to go straight towards his room, and she thought she knew the reason.

"It's here." Harry muttered under his breath, as he looked at the now dead rose petals, the candles, and the letter for Ginny.

"Did you send it Harry?" Ginny asked. This was one question that she had been dying to know but was too afraid to ask.

"I did. I tried for such a long time. And once I found out that it had actually gotten here it made my day to know that you had read it. But Gin, how did the letter finally get in?"

"We had to take down some wards because we thought that Death Eaters were trying to get into here, but now I know that it was just you."

"Funny though, isn't it, that I was "breaking into" my own home." Harry said laughing. "This place is a mess." With a swish of his wand the place was dust free, and just a bit tidier.

"That would have taken me days to clean up." Ginny said laughing. "And they say that the women are the ones that clean."

"Ha-ha funny Gin." Harry's eyes changed from happy to serious in a mere seconds. "Gin, I have a question." He said timidly.

"Ask away."

"How come you never dated anyone else? And you were so loyal to me after all these years."

"Harry, I would have known if you were dead, I would have felt a piece of my heart being taken away from me."

A/N: Alright! I'm super sorry! You can not believe how sorry I am! I guess I didn't have any motivation to write. Once I got back from vacation, which was about 2 months ago, I just didn't feel like writing. My notebook was put underneath my bed and forgotten about for about a month. Then I was reading my emails and found all of my reviews! It made me so happy and sad. Happy cause it made me realize that all of you guys loved this story, but sad cause I wasn't getting anymore reviews. But I realized the only way I could get reviews was by actually writing! So that's exactly what I did! I hope you like it! I went back to all my reviews and wrote to each and every one of you who reviewed for chapter 7… although you might not even remember reviewing. LOL

My life: In case anyone's interested in what's been going on in my life here we go… Well the other day (Monday 2/28 and Tuesday 3/1) we had FCAT. Incase you don't live in Florida that's where you have to take a test. Its math and reading and takes away about 4 hours of your life… it was dull. But everyone was freaking out about it. Me? I had no worries…. I've been taking it since 3rd grade. But I think that's about it. My life has been very dull other then talking to friends and counting down the days till school's out! Only a couple of more months! Oh yeah!
