As he made his way downstairs, he heard several voices. When he walked into the kitchen there were groups of people everywhere talking. Mrs. Weasley, Ginny, and Hermione were cooking a huge dinner.
"Oh, Hello Harry dear. Are you feeling all right?" Mrs. Weasley chimed.
"Yes, I am fine."
"Good because I am going to kill you!" She said. "How could you ever afford giving us 10,000,000 galleons?"
"Because I was sole heir to the Black family estate as well as the Potter Trust which I haven't even chipped into yet. You guys have been my family and Ron is always saying how poor you are. I just figured you could use some help like you and your family have helped me."
"God, Harry, your heart is going to get you into trouble one of these days, but I thank you from the bottom of my heart." she exclaimed to him, "Now go mingle until the food is ready."
As Harry walked around he thought most of the Order was present. The obvious group of Aurors, talking about missions they had been on, the older more distinguished generation who had seen the first reign of Voldemort, and the Weasley children.
When he got to his "family's" group, he saw an odd look out of Bill and Charlie, like they were jealous that someone had given the family money that could start all of their lives over again. He then saw those looks melt away into smiles of great joy.
Ginny got away from her mum long enough to come over to the group, before flushing very red, kissing and hugging Harry and running off again.
"Don't expect that out of all of us, mate!" Fred mocked.
"We don't go that way!" George remarked.
Ron seemed happier than Harry had ever seen him.
"Thanks for everything." Ron said quietly.
"Ron, you are my brother, and I mean that. I had plenty to spare for a hundred of my lifetimes."
"Thanks…Oh, and Congrats for you and Hermione getting together. I didn't win the bet, Ginny got that one but it's great for you."
"What do you mean bet?" A voice behind them asked. It was Hermione
Ron cringed like there was a spider on his head
"Well Hermione…we all knew that you guys liked each other. I mean both of you have told me numerous times but you just wouldn't tell each other. We put a bet on to see when you would get together. Ginny had this summer, so she won, I lost with middle of this year, I think Bill, Charlie and the twins all bet the end of this year."
"Well I am so glad that you have been entertained betting on me and Harry's love lives. But I don't care, I'm just glad that I have Harry now."
"Oh!" Fred yelled
"Spare us!" George replied laughing.
"All right everyone sit down so we can eat!" Molly yelled. Everyone sat down with Harry and Hermione next to each other of course. They all looked around and noticed to what lengths the women had gone to. They had pulled out every stop for this dinner. Harry turned to Hermione and kissed her on her cheek before turning back to his dinner.
Halfway through dinner, Mr. Weasley stood up with a glass in his hand hitting it with a fork, calling for a toast.
"To Harry, you have given us a chance to start anew, and for that we thank you. You have been like another son to us, even though we didn't need one" Arthur mocked.
"Hey!" Bill, Charlie, the twins and Ron all yelled.
"Don't interrupt…Now where was I? Molly and I just wanted to thank you from the bottom of our hearts, so we got you a gift." he continued, pulling out an elongated box and handing it to Harry.
Harry ripped the wrapping off of it and opened the box. Inside was another yet smaller box. There were five total boxes and the smallest one held keys of some kind.
Harry pulled them out and examined them closely and looked questioningly at Arthur. He only responded by taking out a wizarding magazine, flipping to the proper page and handed it to Harry. He looked at it and looked at Hermione.
"They bought me a house. They bought us our very own house!"
"We knew you had several different houses already but we figured that you could make that one a home, settle down with it, hopefully start a family. Of course you can visit anytime you want but the house has to be kept in my name until you turn 17. Next summer after term, you can come back here until your birthday and then move over to this one."
Harry couldn't find anything to say, so he got up and hugged Molly and Arthur like he never had. He then began to cry.
"Thank you so much. I own four houses already but I didn't have one that I could call my own."
Harry sat back down and looked at the other Weasleys. They were all smiling profoundly.
"Thank you, all of you."
The rest of the Order was still in shock when the Trio retired for the night. Ron went into the bedroom they had shared for the last two years but Harry stood outside with Hermione.
"I want you to be a part of that house, and I think that since we're so in tune with each other, we will be together for a long time. I love you." he said and kissed her on the lips.
"I love you too." she said keeping hold of his hands as he started walking away, letting them slip through her fingers like it was her life draining from her. When his hands finally fell from hers, she turned around and went into her room, lay down and went immediately to sleep, dreaming of her Harry.
Harry did much of the same, only his wonderful dream turned into a horrific nightmare.
