A / N: Sorry about the abrupt switching between the train scene and Harry and Luna. I had three little asterisks in the original. I dunno if they made it into the version or not, and I should've had more of a separation than that anyway. Sorry guys! (If there's still more than one of youse...) And yes, you will find out before too long what Luna and Harry's 'business' was all about. Thanks!

The dark green minivan had been parked in front of the Ministry of Magic headquarters for nearly an hour now, and its occupants were becoming very impatient.

"Mommy, what's taking Da so long in there?" Sirius asked, obviously bored. Ginny turned and looked in between the driver's seat and the passenger's seat. The twins were slumped against each other in the backseat, Remula contentedly playing with a teddy bear, and Sirius looking very in charge. She gave Sirius a small smile.

"I doubt he'll be much longer, sweetie," she assured him, nodding. Sirius didn't look satisfied with that.

"But what is he doing?" he inquired doggedly. Ginny's smile faltered. Turning back around to lean back on the seat, she sighed.

"I honestly don't know," she murmured. In the mirror she saw him shrug and curl up against the seat and shut his eyes. But I'm going to find out.

Half an hour later, the driver side door of the vehicle squeaked open and a weary-looking Harry Potter slid in.

"Sorry I---" he started casually as he put the key in the ignition.

"Hush! They're sleeping," Ginny hissed almost-silently, jerking her thumb in the direction of the backseat. Harry paled for a minute. She was angry with him, and he knew it. She was going to ask him questions...

"Sirius asked me what was taking his Da so long," she began, venom dripping from her words. "Unfortunately, I wanted to know the same thing."

Harry felt a sweat coming on under the unfaltering glare of his wife.

"Ginny, it was just a business meeting, I just had to—"

"I know something's up," she interrupted. "You're planning something you don't want me to know about. I'd like to know what. I don't like surprises, as you bloody well know." While her voice was soft enough to not awaken the twins, it seemed as though she were screaming at him. There was a loudness to her tone that had nothing to do with volume.

Harry sighed. "Can't we talk about this later, Gin?"

"No. Now," Ginny snarled. She didn't like having things kept from her, and she could sense it was something big. Harry dragged out another long, plaintive sigh.

"Harry!"

"Fine, fine. I've decided to change my course of occupation for a little while. That's all," he told her. Ginny was not convinced.

"That is not all, Harry James Potter, and I cannot believe you would make such a decision without consulting me first!" she flamed at him. Harry was subconsciously grateful for the twins being asleep in the back.

"It's my job!" he replied lamely.

"But it's our family it will affect!" Ginny retorted fiercely. "Think about it, Harry! What if you chose a job far from home? Then what would we do? You should've discussed this with me!"

"Look, I'm sorry, alright! I'll be more careful about making decisions with you in future, okay?" he surrendered. Ginny seemed to calm down considerably.

After a very long period of silence, she spoke again: "So what new job have you so independently chosen?"

"Erm... well.. I'm going to be a teacher." Ginny's head whipped around so fast she gave herself whiplash.

"What! A teacher? Bloody hell, Harry, what were you thinking?" she demanded, her voice still kept at a constant low volume. Harry had known this would be her reaction. But she'd get over it. And at least she didn't suspect—

"It's because of Milly, isn't it?" Ginny asked softly. Her tone and expression were unreadable. She was looking straight ahead, watching the wind shield wipers thrash at the rain.

"W-what?" Harry spluttered. How could she have guessed so quickly?

"You want to be able to protect her, to be closer. I know, Harry. I know that's how you expect to keep her safe. You're going to be her shadow for the next seven years. Is that your plan?" Her voice was sarcastic.

"Are you mocking me, Ginevra Weasley?" Harry asked, angry.

"Maybe I am," Ginny replied dangerously. Harry glanced at her. She still didn't look at him.

"Well, yes. That is my plan. I think it's a damn good plan, too. I'm going to be a teacher and take care of her," he explained confidently. Ginny snorted.

"And what makes you think she's going to put up with you for seven years?" Ginny laughed icily. Harry's eyes were grim.

"She isn't going to know."

A / N: Okey dokey, there's the fifth. And it explains 'the business'. You'll see why Luna was involved later on too. And then we'll get back to Milly's POV.

Please review, thanks!
