Wow 2 chap's in one day! I hope u enjoy, and no new updates until probably next weekend, sorry!

That morning Ginny woke up dressed, to here the shower going. She yawned and stood up, stretching out, when the door opened and Harry walked out, clothed in some clean muggle cloths. His black hair was still long, but the small beard he had been growing had been shaved off.

"Do you want me to cut your hair, Harry," Ginny asked.

He just nodded, as he gave her a pair of scissors and sat down on the floor so she could cut it.

Ginny started cutting his hair, and talking to him at the same time.

"Oh Harry every one is going to be so glad you are back! Every one has missed you, and there is so much I have to fill you in on," she said, snipping away, as Harry gave only a shy smile for her to continue.

"Well that boy you saved, Alec has been adopted by Remus and Ara, and he is dying to meet his cool cousin Harry. And our kids, Jason and Anne are going to be so excited to see you. Anne is deffenetly going to be a daddy's girl, she keeps asking for you," Ginny said watching Harry's reaction, he made none.

"Snape has been exposed as a spy so we no longer have one, but he has been talking to Mark. The experience really changed him, well sum what. But at least he is speaking to his son and his sister and his brother in law. Oh Harry and wait till your dad sees' you, he's been a great help, and has missed you so much," finished Ginny, snipping off the last piece of hair, it was still long but it looked less ragged and more like Harry.

"Are you hungry," asked Ginny.

He nodded his head, Ginny had to take a deep breath to calm herself down, she wished he would respond to her.

"Let's go down and get some food, if Mum is not up Dobby or Winky will be," She said.

"No," croaked Harry. "I...I can't," he said, nervously.

Ginny gave his a comforting smile, "It's alright Harry, every one here is family,"

"Not that... magic is weak, can't cast charms," he stuttered.

"I could," she said, pulling out her wand, filled with sadness that Harry had to put up the charms again.

After she hid the scars, and burns she put the wand towards the collar to conceal it, but Harry grabbed her hand to stop her.

"Harry..." started Ginny, but Harry's green piercing eye's stopped her.

"It will still react to magic." said Harry, letting go of her hands.

Ginny nodded and found him a turtle neck, that with Ginny's help he was able to get on.

"You ready?" Ginny asked.

Harry gave a silent nod and Ginny opened the door, and took his hand, giving him a reassuring smile.

The couple walked through the hall ways, to the kitchen, where they found Dobby and Winky hard at work.

"Morning," Ginny said happily.

Both elves turned, and their eye's became big as they saw Harry standing next to Ginny.

"Harry Potter sir is back, Harry Potter sir okay, what can Dobby get Harry Potter," rambled on Dobby, not noticing Harry's face contort and then relax.

"Dobby," Harry started, "please call me Harry, and remember you are not a servant Dobby, you're my friend."

Dobby hugged Harry and made him sit down with Ginny, Winky then started to pile up two plates with all kinds of breakfast food. Both Ginny and Harry sat in silence and ate, in a comfortable silence, till Harry broke it.

"Where are the kids?" he asked in a small stutter.

"They are at Hogwarts with Frank and Alice Longbottom, Neville's parents."replied Ginny.

"Can you go pick them up?" Harry asked back.

"Of course!" Ginny told him.

Harry nodded and turned back to eating his food, till there was nothing left.

Just as they both finished the door swung open and in walked Ron. He saw Harry and Ginny sitting at the small kitchen table and smiled.

"Harry mate, how are you?" asked Ron.

Harry seemed to shrink back a little from Ron but replied hesitantly, "Alright."

Ron over looked what Harry had just done and took a seat across the table from Harry and Ginny. Winky brought him over a plate of food, and Ron started to stuff his face.

"So mate I was thinking, do you wanna go flying?" Ron asked.

Harry tensed, "Not today." he replied standing up, slowly, his body aching.

He moved for the door and started to sway.

"Harry!" both Ron and Ginny yelled, but Harry caught himself, but was breathing hard, his face pale.

"We need to get you back to bed." Ginny said, going to his side, as his legs became wobbly, Ron was on his side, it did not go unnoticed by either Ron nor Ginny, that Harry stiffened as soon as Ron touched him.

"Come on mate, let us get you back to bed, and I'll go get Anne and Jason, okay?" Ron said, helping Ginny getting him upstairs. Harry agreed.

After getting Harry upstairs and into his bed, Ron left to get his god children while Ginny sat next to Harry.

"It is all going to be okay," Ginny told him. "We'll get through this Harry, but don't shut us out," she said as Harry ignored her, thinking of his children who he had not seen for over two months.

The door opened and Ron walked in with two children clinging to him, one with a messy mop of black hair, the other with shiny, bright red hair.

"Dadda," yelled out the little girl, out stretching her arms to Harry. Anne practically leapt from Ron's arm's into Harry's. Harry made a small grunt of pain as his daughter landed hard on him, but shooed Ginny away when she was going to take Anne. Ron placed Jason down on Harry's other side.

"Could we have some alone time," Harry asked, just wanting to be with his children, Ron was about to protest, but Ginny took his arm and pulled him out side, telling Harry she was only a call away if he need her.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

"Why'd you do that?" asked Ron as his sister and him walked towards Hermione's room, to wake her.

"He need's his space, and he is going to need it for awhile," replied Ginny, walking off.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Harry sat up in his bed looking down into the little eye's that stared back at him, such beautiful eyes.

"Hi," said Harry in a croak.

Anne and Jason started to giggle.

"Think I'm funny," he asked with a true smile that lite up his whole face.

Both Anne and Jason nodded.

"Missed me I here," Harry said wrapping his arms around them, bringing them closer to him.

"Well I missed you too. You both have grown so very much, I'm sorry I've missed it. But I know every one took really good care of you," babbled Harry as his body's exhaustion took over, and he started to fall asleep, his children snuggled in his arms.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Over the next week Harry started to progress, though it was in little steps.

Every day he would get up and put on a turtle neck, no matter how hot it was and eat breakfast with the family. After that he would lock himself in his room with Jason, Anne, Hali, Alec and Chris and would not come out till lunch. After lunch he went to bed and would sleep till dinner and then was in bed for the night, slowly rebuilding his magic.

During these times Harry hardly like to let any one to close to him. In reality only Ginny or any one under the age of 9 could get close to him with out Harry getting tense, or backing away.

He would never open up to any one with what happen, truly his favorite times where just sitting with the kids, just holding them, or telling them stories about princess and princes.

The next week Harry was in his room and their was a knock on his door. "Come in," replied Harry carefully, he was still getting use to being his own person.

"Afternoon mate," Ron said. "Hi," replied Harry shortly.

"Harry are you alright? I mean... wait stupid question, what I'm trying to say..." but Harry stopped him.

"Why I shrink away." Harry finished for him. Ron nodded mutely.

"Something's that happened Ron where not in that pensive, and that is all I'm saying," replied Harry, showing that the conservation was over

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Slowly life returned to normal, well as normal as it could for the occupants of Griffian manor. Ron, Hermione, and Ginny returned to school, though Ginny had to be forced to by Harry but she came home every night to check on his and the kids, and she also felt better that Ona was with him around the clock, slowly helping him build up his magic. Ron had been weary of Harry, he wanted to know what happened, but figured when Harry could talk to him about it, he would.

Harry was getting better, and by the end of May he was almost back to himself. The scars where still hidden and the collar still around his neck, at nights he would wake up in cold sweats, having nightmares about what happen, but Harry was working hard to get back to normal, to finish out his last month of his sixth year with his friends.

During the time Harry was healing he got to know his dad better, and become closer to him. Harry had yet to call him dad but it would come like all things, with time. While Harry was still on bed rest James decided his son was being bored to death in his room, to pushed the muggle television all the way up the stairs, because Sirius took his wand.

He then found some funny American movies suck as Lethal Weapon and The Incredibles and sat and watched them with Harry as they ate pop corn and drank butter beer. It was nothing special, nothing fantastic or extreme, just a father and son being together, later on Sirius had joined them.

At the end of May Harry stood in his room, fixing his hair, his Hogwart's robes on, though they did not conceal the black piece of metal on his neck, at least the scars he could hide.

His hand traveled up to the piece of metal, and like every other morning yanked on it, hoping it would snap, but it never did. He would be stuck with it, stuck with it till the day he died, he would be stuck with the symbol of his humiliation, but it was worth it to see Ginny alive and Happy, it would always be worth it..

He ran his hand threw his hair nervously and called opened his door where Ona and Hali stood. Hali hugged her Uncle, who she had missed so much.

"I'll see you both soon," Harry said hugging them.

"Just call if you need me," Ona said, taking her daughter's hand as Harry called for Hedwig to take them back to Pyrexia.

"I will," responded Harry as he hugged both girls.

"And don't work yourself to hard." Ona yelled disappearing with Hedwig.

Later that night Harry would return back to school, to face the new life that had been thrown at him as well as the new heir of Hufflepuff.
