Disclaimer- I do not own any of the characters that you may recognize. The realm of Harry Potter does not belong to me sadly enough, but to the brilliant J.K. Rowling.
Summary- Set after Harry's seventh year (realize this was written before the HBP so none of that ever took place.) Harry finds out that he as grandparents that are still alive. Voldermort is still alive as much as he can be, but Minister Fudge has made a new law. A law that states that all muggleborms must marry Purebloods and Half bloods must marry fellow Half bloods.
Chapter 3- Preparations
Even though it was a Saturday morning Minerva and Albus were up with the sun. You my think that this is normal but its really not. They usually get up around mid morning. The reason they were up so early was because of what they had to tell Harry. The news is not particularly bad but it will change Harry's life somewhat. Around nine in the morning Harry came downstairs for breakfast. Minerva gave Harry his breakfast and sat at the table along with Harry and Albus. For just a few moments they just sat there watching Harry eat and Harry being the teenager he is just looked up after a minute and said "What?"
"Harry we have something to discuss with you. Its nothing bad but you might not like it." Minerva took a moment to let that sink in before she started again. "Now last night while you and ms. Tonks your grandfather and I were talking. Before now we were thinking that you were going to take your regular classes like everyone else, but now we have decided that you will go to Hogwarts but you will have privet lessons with the professors and us."
Harry just stared in shock for a moment until he spoke. "Will I still be able to see my friends?"
"Of course we wouldn't keep you from that. We just thought that since you already were staying with ms. Tonks and were going to be spending part of your time training it would just make more since to do it this way."
"Don't worry about it. I'm fine with what is going on. Dora and I talked about everything last night and if we hadn't we will today. Well I should probably get going I have to meet Dora in a few minutes. If you don't mind that is."
"No Harry its alright go have a nice day with Ms Tonks and tell us what's going on when you get home." Harry nodded and walked out of the kitchen and into the living room where the floo is. He flooed though to Dora's house in London. As usual Harry fell down as soon as he came though
"Harry are you ok there? Your starting to look like me when you do that," said Dora laughing. " I can never travel by floo. I can't wait till I can apparated later this month."
"Well Harry this is my house. Its not the best but its home me and maybe to you soon too. Would you like for me to give you a tour?" Harry nodded as he brushed himself off. Dora took him though every room in the house. Leaving the master bedroom for last. " Now I normally don't show just anyone the bedroom but hey its you." She opened the door reveling a large four-poster bed with blue draping. The bed was made out of oak with beautiful carvings though out the posts. Also in the headboard and footboard. The bed literally look like a sleigh. Though out the rest of the room there is a two matching dressers. It looked like Dora, not that the rest of the house wasn't but this was just her.
"Wow your house is great. What is going to happen to the house when we are at school?"
"I talked it over with my parents. They are going to come over every week to make sure everything is ok and some weekends we can come home for privacy if we want. And then of course Christmas and Easter break. That is if you want."
"Why wouldn't I? I know we are going to need to spend time alone away from school where people can bother us. I know this may not be what you have wanted it's not my ideal situation either. I would rather I was not connected with anyone because Voldermort goes after the ones I love. Yes I know that I have only know you for a short while but I do loved you." Harry took her hands in his and the both sat on the bed.
"Harry I don't know what to say. I feel the same way about you and I know I will be worrying about everything that is to come, but just so you know no matter what you say or do I will be by your side."
"I understand that I figured as much. Last night I did a lot of thinking. I know we have to get this wedding together in just a few weeks but whatever you want you can have. You only get married once and I want you to be happy."
"Harry that means so much to me. I've never wanted a big wedding. If you don't mind I just want family and friends. Do you think that your grandfather can marry us?"
"I don't want a big wedding either. I hate publicity. I don't want any reporters there. All I want there is you, my grandparents, the Weasley's, Lupin, Hermione, Neville, and who ever you want. I'll ask grandpa when I get home if he will."
"Harry that's perfectly fine with me. You grandparents didn't tell you that they are coming over for dinner along with my parents. So that means we have to cook later on. Look I'm sorry but my parents want to meet the man that their precious little girl is marrying and my mum wants a list done that she has given me. Basically is where we are to marry. The date we want to marry on. How many people and who are they. What kind of food we want. Who will be cooking it? And it goes on for there. I know we have a lot to do today so we should probably get started."
Hand in hand Harry and Dora made there way down stairs to try and figure everything out or at least try to. They settled themselves in the living room with quills and parchment. They made several lists. One was for the guest list. Another for food, decorations, and all of the other little things. After most everything was settled they moved on the dinner that night. After a long odd discussion the finally decided on chicken alfrado one of the dishes that Harry learned at the Dursley's. Dora was going to cook and apple crisp from scratch for deasert along with getting some vanilla ice cream.
Dora wrote down a quick list of ingredients that the would need while Harry got their cloaks. Soon they were ready to go and debating weather they wanted to floo or have Dora apparated them both. After five minutes they decided on apperation. After and short kiss they went on there way hand in hand.
Once in Diagon Alley they took off walking to the store. They got some stairs from people. Why was the famous Harry Potter holding hands with the known Auror Tonks? But did Dora and Harry care, I doubt it. They didn't care about anything that was going on around them at the moment. They just walked into the store and got all of the ingredients that they needed. As soon as they were done they walked back to the apperation point. When they got back to the house they started cooking.
A/N: I know this didn't come out as soon as some of you may have wanted but here it is. It would have been out sooner but I have been debating about weather or not to keep going with the chapter. The next one will be the dinner and all about the new law so it may take some time for me to get everything in my head out. But let me know what you think by reviewing and let me know if you have any ideas and I will consider them. Also thank to the 14 people who have taken the time to review out of 1,734 people who have at least looked at the story. Please review. Thanks
