Chapter 9.

For the first time in Harry's life he felt truly happy. He was in love with someone who loved him back. And he had his Mum and Dad. He walked down to the common room and found Ginny lying in front of the fire. He walked towards her, leaned over and kissed her while she was still asleep. As Harry pulled his face back up a smile came across Ginny's face. Harry decided he didn't want to wake Ginny and lay beside her on the couch. Harry fell asleep with his arms wrapped around Ginny. Completely unaware of his best friend lying with Hermione on the other couch.

Ron woke to find Harry and Ginny lying together.

"Hermione, wake up."

He brushed a few stray hairs off her face.

"Hermione, wake up. Or you'll be late for class."

She stirred.

"Ron that's not funny, plus I know its Saturday." Hermione said as she kissed him.

"Yeah, but it got you up didn't it? Hey look who's over there." Ron said as he pointed to Harry and Ginny.

"They must've come back late, we were talking for ages. We better get them up encase a teacher makes and unexpected visit." She said as she walked towards them.

As Hermione walked closer to the couple Ginny rolled over and draped her left arm over Harry, the ring Harry had given her the previous night glistened in the sunlight. Hermione noticed and stared at Ginny's hand until Ron finally noticed what she was doing.

"Mione, what are you looking at? I'm sure Ginny's hand isn't that fascinating." Ron asked.

"I'm not looking at her hand; I'm looking at something on her hand, on her finger."

"Yes, she has a ring on her finger, maybe Harry got it for her."

Hermione remembered how slow Ron was so she attempted to fill the blanks for him.

"Yeah, Harry bought her a diamond ring, and it's on her 4th finger, left hand."

"Well Harry can probably afford a diamond….." he trailed off. Hermione noticed a look of sudden realisation dawn on Ron's face. Before he could yell Hermione cast a silencing spell on Ron.

"Ok Ron we need to hear Harry and Ginny out before you run off and tell your family, and don't pretend you weren't thinking about doing that! I know you to well Ronald." She said rather calmly.

Owing to the fact that he couldn't talk, he simply nodded accepting he wasn't going win against Hermione. She unsilenced him. Hermione lent over the two and woke them.

"Harry, Ginny get up before Ron sits on you."

"Bugger off Ron, or I'll tell Hermione about what you were saying in your sleep." Harry said through a yawn.

Ron quickly changed the subject, and put the spotlight on Harry.

"When were you planing on telling us about the ring on Gins finger?"

"Ah, yeah. Well about that Ron. I love Gin, and she loves me and after Hogwarts we're going to get married." Harry said very fast.

"OMG!" Hermione screamed as she hugged Harry and Ginny.

Ron stood still as if he was nailed to the floor, Harry stared at him looking for his opinion. Eventually he got it; Ron gave him a smile and a manly hug.

"Wait till we tell mum and dad, they'll be thrilled." Ginny said.

"Speaking of parents, guess who we saw last night?" Harry asked Ron and Hermione.

After a moment of silence, the portrait hole opened and three adults came through it.

Ron and Hermione gaped at the three people who entered, Ginny smiled as Harry hugged each of them.

"Harry, please tell us were not going mental. Are they your parents and Sirius?" for the first time in her life Hermione wasn't sure what was going on, she was nervous.

"Yes Hermione it's us, and just to prove I know you, you and the Weasley family stayed with me and Grimauld place over the summer before your 5th year. O yeah I "died" in the department of mysteries last year, but know I'm back so there's nothing to worry about."

"Ok that's Sirius." Stated Hermione.

"Mum, Dad and Sirius, how did you guys get back?" Harry asked, as that question had been nagging him since he found them.

"Ok, after I fell through the veil I spoke to some interesting "people". The long and short of the conversation was that if your not supposed to die yet you can go back. I wasn't sure what to do, until I found James and Lilly. They were waiting to go back." Explained Sirius.

"James and I had been waiting to go back for years, but we couldn't go back until you were happy. In other words we couldn't get back until Harry and Ginny were together." Lilly explained.

"We didn't know that you had to be together, just that you had to be truly happy." James said.

"Ok, how long have you been back?" asked Harry after he had processed all they said.

"When you saw us near the forest we'd only been back for about a week." Said Sirius.

"great, well I'm going to take Ginny to Hogsmeade, will you guys be here when we get back?"

"Yes we will Harry, we've got a lot to catch up on." Said Lilly as she hugged her son.
