A/N: Sorry I've been away so long. I was on holiday then I started College and things have been pretty hectic and I have exams coming up!
I hope you enjoy the chapter 9 of The Return as Harry Evans...

EDITED: I originally wrote a short chapter but I decided to extend it so if you've already read the first version… ignore it read this one… its way better than the first draft.

Settling in

Emma got her well-needed rest and healed perfectly. Luckily she had madam Pomfrey to heal her. Emma was very happy that she finally had both her parents.

Professor Evans and Weasley were known to have the most fun lessons. Ginny still couldn't believe her Harry was back. She was still getting used to the idea of him being around again. She also was ecstatic that her babies- the ones she had to give up and felt guilty about- were here, with her. She didn't know that by coming back to Hogwarts would change her life this much. She didn't know that there were a lot of surprises to come.

Harry, Emma and Fletcher had spent the past couple of days with Ginny as a family. All of them were glad that they were together. Harry and Ginny had been telling their children stories of when they were younger. They talked a lot about Hogwarts and the Weasley's.

As for Ron and Hermione, they were spending time at the Burrow with the rest of the family. They thought it would be good to give them a bit of space. Kara and Danny Weasley where also at the burrow in their twin Uncle's room doing god knows what.

At this present moment you could find Emma and Fletch in the Quidditch stands racing eachother.

Their parents however would be found in Ginny's room on her bed catching up for much-needed alone time.

"Gin…" muttered Harry.

"Hmm" she replied

"I love you" he said. Ginny looked up and she smiled. She leaned forward and captured his lips in a gentle kiss. She pulled away and rested her head on his shoulder.

"I love you too."

Harry sat up and pulled Ginny up with him.

"Ginny I'm going to have to tell everyone. They need to know now anyway because so many people know I'm alive… The Prophet is gonna have a field day with this." He gave a chuckle.

"Yeah I know I can see it now "The boy-who-lived, The Chosen One, The boy-who-conquered the boy-who-died is alive!" that's going to go down well… but I agree you have to tell everyone, starting with my family." Said Ginny.

"This is going to be hard though isn't it?" he asked

"Yeah it will… but I'm here for you." She kissed him and he wrapped his arms around her. Harry pulled away.

"I know. So when do I tell your family? Aren't they all together today?" Harry asked.

"Yeah but we'll tell them later. We've got a family dinner at 6… but right now…"

Her lips came crashing onto his. She lay on top of him while she kissed him tenderly and her hands ran through his hair. His hands fell to her waist, he put his hand up the back of her shirt-

"EEWWWWW! I'm scarred for life! Emma look at this!" cried Fletcher. Emma came in the room and smiled. She always liked romance; this was so romantic in her eyes.

"I think its sweet. They're finally together. And can you remember dad ever going out with any other lady?" asked Emma.

"But our parents are making out in front of us! That's sick! OI! You two cut it out." Shouted Fletcher

Harry and Ginny up till this point hadn't noticed them come in. They sat up and faced their kids. Harry wrapped his arms around Ginny.

"Hey kids. How are you?" asked Ginny smiling. Looking at her two kids.

"We're fine. I don't need to ask how you are though do I? Mum." Said Emma smiling. Fletcher just looked at the scene disbelievingly.

"Hey what you guys doing today?" asked Harry.

"Nothing much. How bout you?" asked Emma.

"Well there is a big dinner at the Burrow at 6 and we are all going. The entire Weasley family are going to be there. We're going to tell everyone." Said Ginny.

"Are you sure you're ready?" asked Emma.

"Yes I am Em. Might as well get it over with. Right who fancies a game of Quidditch?" asked Harry. At this Fletcher came out of his daze.

"Cool I want to play! Girls against boys!" said Fletcher getting excited. Harry and Ginny laughed. Emma said something that sounded suspiciously like 'boys!'

"Ok but I'll have to warn you that your mother is quite good she gave me a run for my money." Said Harry. They all laughed and went to the Quidditch pitch.

The girls won by 10 points and Fletcher was a bit upset but instantly perked up at the idea of seeing the Weasley's again especially Uncle Fred and George.

When they returned it was only around 2 'O' Clock. Harry just remembered he hadn't told Remus yet. He turned to Ginny.

"Hey Gin, I haven't told Remus about me yet. How could I forget about him? I've missed him so much!" said Harry marvelling at his forgetfulness.

"Well we've still got plenty of time. Why don't you go visit Remus, or I could always ask him to come here." Said Ginny.

Harry thought about this. It would be better for Remus to come here, but Harry wanted to visit Grimauld Place. He wondered if Remus still lived there.

"Does Remus still live at Grimauld Place Ginny?" asked Harry curiously. Ginny looked at him weirdly.

"Yes… he does. Are you thinking if going there?" she asked.

"Yeah I'll be back in an hour or so."

Harry left without seeing the wide grin on Ginny's face. She knew something he didn't

Mixed thoughts were going through Harry's head. What will Remus say? Why didn't I think of telling him sooner? Things along those lines. Within seconds he was at number 12 Grimauld Place. He looked around. It was definitely better than he last saw it. It had a cosier feel as if someone lived in it. There was a touch of a woman in here. He wondered who else was living here. He heard people talking in a distance. He took a deep breath and walked to the door. He put his left hand on the door handle. His right hand came up to his face and checked if his glasses were on and if he was the true Harry. He opened the door very quietly and stepped into the living room.

There he was surprised to see Remus and Tonks. Tonks was holding a baby girl in her arms while Remus had a boy on his lap who looked about 6.

Harry smiled. It was good to know that Remus was finally happy and that he had his own family. Just like him.

They hadn't noticed him but the little boy had.

"Dad who that?" asked the boy.

Remus looked up and his face froze. Tonks also looked around. When she saw him she ran over to the cot and placed the baby there, while Remus stood up and told the boy to stay there. They walked over to Harry and drew out their wands. This didn't surprise Harry.

"Hello Remus. Tonks. How you doing?" asked Harry casually.

Remus and Tonks looked at each other.

"Who are you?" asked Remus.

"Harry Potter… surely you knew that?" said Harry. Here we go again all this explaining.

"You look like an older Harry but he's gone." Said Tonks not lowering her wand.

"No I haven't I'm here aren't I?" asked Harry.

"I don't believe you!" said Remus.

"Fine. Go get Ginny. She'll tell you."

Tonks went to the fireplace while Remus looked at Harry.

"How do we know it's really you?" asked Remus.

"Well you're my dad's best friend along with Sirius. You're in Sirius' ex house, which is mine now, I know about you're furry little problem as my dad called it and I wouldn't be able to get in here if it wasn't me." Remus stood there shocked knowing that somehow Harry was alive. He lowered his wand and gave him a hug.

"Where have you been all this time?" asked Remus.

"Living as a muggle with Emma and Fletch."

"Who's Emma and Fletch?"

"We're Emma and Fletch." Said Fletch coming into the room followed by Emma, Ginny and Tonks.

"Remus, Tonks these are our children." Said Harry going over to Ginny and giving her hand a squeeze.

"How come you didn't tell us that you had kids Ginny?" asked Tonks.

"Well my mum doesn't know yet so I have to tell her soon. But Harry will explain everything." Said Ginny looking at Harry.

They sat down while Harry told the story with some input from the kids and Ginny. The faces of Remus and Tonks were priceless. They were so shocked.

Harry caught up with Remus and Tonks. It turned out that they were married and had two children. Izzy (the baby girl) and Jake.

It was nearing 6pm so the small family left Grimauld place and went back to Hogwarts. The twins went off to get ready and so were Harry and Ginny.

Harry was pacing his office while Ginny was pulling on her cloak.

"Harry calm down. It's just our family. They love you like their own. Come on it won't be that bad." Said Ginny reassuringly. Harry stopped pacing and came over to her.

"I know Gin but this is so hard for me. I'm nervous." He said a quiver in his voice. Ginny got up and hugged him.

"Come on let's get the kids." Said Ginny.

"No need we're here. Are Danny and Kara coming with us?" said Emma. Harry and Ginny faced their children.

"No they've already spent the day at the Burrow. Okay this is what is happening. Hermione told my mum that I was bringing 3 other people with me. So they know you're coming but they don't know who you are, so keep quiet until You're dad says what he has to say. Got that?" Asked Ginny. The three nodded.

"Okay I'm going first." Ginny went over to the fireplace and was gone with the word "the burrow."

"Okay kids do the same as you're mother. I'll join you in a minute." Said Harry. He watched them go. He went over to the mirror and put on his glamour spells and took off his glasses and put them in his pocket. He checked his reflection and stepped in to the fireplace.

"Here goes…"
