Chapter 4

When Lizzy walked into the sitting room, Harry and Ginny were kissing. Lizzy grinned and started to laugh. Ginny and Harry immediately separated and both of them turned a shade of red. Lizzy laughed and said, "Sorry, I can come back." Ginny smiled and smoothed her hair and said, "No it's okay Lizzy." Lizzy was still laughing at the look of horror on her dad's face and then said, "Well, I suppose I had better get used to seeing that, huh." Now all three of them were laughing. Harry motioned for Lizzy to come join them.

Lizzy walked over to her dad and sat down on the floor in front of him and Ginny. She looked up to him, smiled and said, "You don't have to give me any presents or anything. My Christmas present was getting a dad and soon a mom." Harry took Ginny's hand and said, "Well, in that case, I guess I am going to have to take all your presents back." Lizzy looked sad for a minute then said, "Okay, well I will go help nana some more then." As she stood up, both Harry and Ginny wrapped their arms around her and pulled her into them. Ginny laughed and said, "You are not going anywhere. We got these presents just for you."

Harry smiled at the look of joy on Lizzy's face and said, "You bet we did, but you are only going to get one now, you have to wait until the family gets here to open the rest." Lizzy nodded and said, "Okay dad" Harry and Ginny both smiled. Harry stood up and pulled both of them along with him. They walked out of the sitting room and into the kitchen. "Molly, when do you expect everyone?" Harry asked. Molly said, "About three hours. Are you going to take her now?" Harry and Ginny nodded and Lizzy asked, "Where are you taking me daddy?" Harry just smiled and said "Marauders Inn" Lizzy had no idea what Marauders Inn was, but she held tightly to Ginny and Harry's hands as they started walking. After about twenty minutes of walking, Lizzy could see a great big house in the distance. She had to stop for a minute. "Daddy, I'm tired can we rest a minute?" Harry smiled and said, "Here jump on my back," as he squatted some so she could get on, "You ready he asked?" Lizzy said, "Yeah."

Harry took off running, Lizzy squealing and Ginny laughing. Ginny ran to keep up. "Hey, wait for me," she yelled. Harry stopped and waited for Ginny. When Ginny had caught up, Lizzy jumped down and said, "I am good now. I can walk myself, but that was fun." Harry smiled and said, "Okay," he pulled out two handkerchiefs, "Now it is time for you both to be blindfolded." Lizzy looked at the handkerchiefs and said, "You didn't blow any boogies in those did you?" Harry laughed and said, "No, but I could if you'd prefer to have my boogies allover your face." Lizzy laughed and said, "Ewww no way." Harry smiled and blindfolded the two of them. He snuck in a kiss while he was fixing Ginny's to make sure she couldn't see. "Honestly, Harry. Why must I be blindfolded as well?" Ginny asked. Harry said, "Because this gift is for you as well. You may know all about it, but you still have not seen it." With that Harry lead the two up the path towards the house.
