Harry uses lines from a children's movie to get Ginny to come home. What exactly does he have planned?
Song: Do You Want to Build a Snowman? From Frozen
A/N: Some of the texts between Harry and Ginny in this chapter are direct quotes from the movie "Frozen"
Harry: Do you want to build a snowman?
Ginny: What are you up to?
Harry: Come on let's go and play
Ginny: Who are you and what have you done with my husband?
Harry: I never see you anymore, come out the door, It's like you've gone away
Ginny: Seriously, what are you up to?
Harry: Come home … You have been at work long enough
Ginny: I have a few more things to finish up
Harry: Come home
Ginny: I'll be home soon and then we can play with James in the snow
Ginny slid her mobile into her desk drawer and sighed. She hated having to work on days when Harry didn't but things had to get done. She had laughed out loud when his texts had come through. He had been watching Frozen with James when she left home. Leave it up to her husband to find a unique way to tell her that they missed her.
"You can go home any time, Ginny." She looked up to see her editor, Matt, standing in the door of her office. "The feature is ready to go for tomorrow's paper and it is perfect weather for enjoying the snow with your family. Anything else can wait until tomorrow."
"If you are sure it looks ready," Ginny hesitated. "I'm not sure I am happy with the positioning of some of the artwork. I just need to tweak a few more things."
"Ginny, you were supposed to leave more than an hour ago. I'm calling the feature pages done and sending you home. Go enjoy the rest of the day with your boys." Matt pushed off the door frame. "I expect to see your parking space empty when I leave here in twenty minutes."
"Okay, I'm shutting down now." Ginny closed the program she had been working in. "I guess I can go home if you insist. I could go home and build a snowman."
"You do that, Ginny." Matt laughed as he walked out of her office. "Don't darken this door for a few days. You have tomorrow off."
Ginny: He is up to something
Hermione: You are surprised by this how?
Ginny: He texted Disney lyrics to me while I was at work
Hermione: Which movie?
Ginny: FROZEN
Hermione: He is definitely up to something
Ginny: I don't wanna
Hermione: Do you want to build a snowman?
Ginny: Stop it!
Hermione: Come on let's go and play
Ginny: Seriously … stop!
Hermione: Okay … bye
"Harry James Potter, what are you doing?" Ginny screamed as she felt snow fill the collar of her coat. "I agree to your plan to help James build his first snowman. I did not agree to a cold neck."
"I have done nothing." Harry grinned, running across the snow with a giggling toddler. "Your son has great aim. It was all his idea."
Ginny reached back to shake the snow from her collar. "I'm sure he came up with this idea all on his own. He is brilliant but I have a feeling he had help with this idea."
"Mama, play!" James' giggles filled the air as Harry set him in the snow.
"Time to build a snowman, little man." Harry laughed as James fell on his bottom in the snow. "We need to make a big ball of snow, not eat the snow."
Ginny walked over to her boys and started to wipe snow off James' face and mittens. "Okay gentlemen, what kind of snowman did you have in mind? Big or small? Fat or skinny?"
"Up, dada, up!" James reached for Harry instead of answering his mother.
"Upside down it is." Ginny smiled and reached in the basket she was carrying. "So first we put his hat on the ground."
"I'm not sure about Mama's plan, my boy." Harry helped James to pack snow into a large ball. "Can we build an upside down snowman?"
"Up, dada, up!" James giggled as he helped Harry add snow to the growing ball.
Ron: What is that?
Theo: Is my picture upside down?
Neville: I don't think so … unless there is snow in the sky
Harry: This is my son's first snowman
Ron: It doesn't look like any snowman I have ever seen
Theo: Is it's head on the ground?
Neville: How did you get it to stand up?
Harry: Gin is a firm believer that everyone need a strong backbone.
Theo: I need one of those in my yard
Neville: I need one in the Bower
Ron: When will you be available to reproduce this miracle of snow engineering?
Harry: You will have to talk to the boy … He may not want to share his idea
"Good night, little one." Ginny kissed James' forehead as she tucked the cover around his sleeping form. "Today was a busy day. Mama love you, little man."
Harry wrapped his arms around Ginny as she watched their son sleep. "Do you want to build a snowman?" Harry sang softly in her ear.
"I think we have done that already today." Ginny sighed softly. "I could really use some cocoa and quiet time in front of the fire."
"Your wish is my command." Harry kissed her cheek. "The cocoa is on the end table and the fire should be just about right. Would you care to join me for a night cap?"
"Sounds perfect." Ginny turned in Harry's arms. "Thank you. I needed this afternoon. Trying to work around the holidays has been tougher this year."
"Let's not talk about work right now." Harry pulled Ginny toward the sitting room. "I want to spend some time relaxing with my wife. The couch is calling our name."
"Lead on, my dear." Ginny curled her hand into the crook of Harry's arm. "That sounds like an excellent plan."
Luna: He is going to kill you
Hermione: Is that drool?
Daphne: Can I have that for my background?
Ginny: He is just too cute for words
Hermione: I need to sleep
Daphne: Me too
Luna: Good night ladies
Ginny: Night
Hermione: Sweet dreams
Daphne; May the boys not drool like Harry … I am out of clean towels :)
