Harry's home was a comfortable one. It wasn't too big, nor too small.

Soon after Harry gave his parents a tour of it and showed them where they would be sleeping, Ginny apparated into the middle of the living room where the three were seated.

Harry immediately stood.

"Well, Mr. Potter," Ginny smiled slyly, not noticing James or Lily yet, "waiting up for me? Are you aiming to bring chivalry back?"

"Hey, Gin," Harry walked toward Ginny and gave her a quick kiss, "how was practice?"

"It was-" Ginny stopped talking as soon as she noticed Harry's parents looking at her. She lowered her voice to a whisper. "Harry, slowly remove your wand and turn around. You take the bloke, I'll take the girl."

Harry let out a laugh at Ginny's words. "No, Gin, take a real close look at them."

Ginny sighed and looked back to James and Lily, still ready to take out her wand at any moment. Soon after, her eyes widened and traveled back to Harry and then back to his parents and so on. "Is that...? Are they... Harry, are your parents Returners?"

Harry nodded with a large grin taking over his face. Ginny suddenly launched herself at him. "Harry that's wonderful!"

After releasing Harry, she turned to James and Lily. "Mr and Mrs. Potter, it's a pleasure to meet you. My name's Ginny."

Lily stepped forward, "hello, Ginny, please call me Lily-"

"-and I, James." James smiled at Ginny as he stepped next to his wife and looked at Harry's redheaded girlfriend. "I see my son took after me in the women department, eh Harry?"

With a slight blush Harry stepped forward and wrapped his arm around Ginny's waist. "Why don't we sit back down and catch up? You can ask whatever questions you have and Ginny and I can answer them."

"Oh, yes of course." Ginny said as she led Lily and James back to the sitting area.

Once everyone was sitting Harry, who was next to Ginny with an arm draped over her shoulder, said, "ask away."

"What has your life been like?" James asked with a sad look on his face. "We've missed so much."

"Chaotic." Was the first word that came to Harry's mind. "But let's not get into the details. Just know that everything is great now."

"Okay," said Lily with a 'we'll talk about this later' look, "what house were you in?"

"Gryffindor." Harry smiled as his father's face lit up.

"Where the brave dwell at heart!" He exclaimed. "Rightfully so! Did you play Quidditch?"

"Yes," Harry told them, "seeker. I was captain for a year too."

"That's amazing!" James exclaimed once again, excitedly.

"James, calm down," Lily laughed at her husband, "don't overexcite yourself, now."

James turned to her with wide eyes, "Lilyflower, this is our son. This is baby Harry." Lily glared at him for the nickname. James then turned to his grown son. "But now he has a job, and a house, and a girlfriend, and he doesn't need us anymore."

"Hey!" Harry interrupted James' rambling. "You two are my parents. I have always needed you and I always will."

"Oh, Sweetheart," Lily gave Harry a watery smile, "who's looked after you all these years?"

"Well, once I found out I was a wizard and went to Hogwarts, I met one of my best friends, Ron Weasley, Ginny's brother actually." Harry glanced at Ginny with a loving smile. "Mrs. Weasley took me in and treated me like one of her own. Hell, she still gives me the classic 'Weasley sweater' on Christmas."

"Well I should hope so, love. You're part of the family." Ginny told her boyfriend firmly.

"Yeah, I know." Harry couldn't resist and gave Ginny a quick kiss on the lips. "And I couldn't be more grateful that she accepted me so easily. And Hermione too for that matter. God knows that it wouldn't have been good for her and Ron's ever-complicated relationship if she acted around her the way she used to act around Fleur."

"Hermione?" Lily interrupted the couple hesitantly. "Fleur? Who are they?"

"Well," Harry turned to face his parents again, "Hermione is my other best friend and also Ron's girlfriend. Fleur is Bill's, another of Ginny's brothers, wife."

Lily just nodded where as James bluntly asked, "Geez, just how many brothers do you have?"

"James!" Lily scolded her husband while landing a sharp smack on his shoulder.

"Ow!" He yelped and cradled his shoulder. "Lils, that hurt! I was only asking."

"Yeah, it's fine I don't mind." Ginny assures Lily. "Okay, so you know about Bill and Ron. Bill's my oldest brother and Ron is my youngest older brother. So the oldest is Bill, and then there's Charlie, then Percy, and there's Fr- uh, there's George. Then Ron and then lastly me, the youngest of the family. I had another brother named,

F-Fred. But he, um, he died during the war. He was George's twin."

By the time Ginny's done telling James and Lily about her family Lily's eyes are watering.

"And Fred hasn't returned?" Lily gently asked the distraught girl who her son was soothing by rubbing her back and pressing light kisses into her temple.

"No," Harry answers for his girlfriend, "you two are the first ones that the Weasleys, Hermione, or myself have a strong connection with."

"If it's not to much to ask, who else died fighting Voldemort?" James asked as Lily cringed at the name.

"Oh," Harry immediately got nervous about telling his parents of Sirius and Remus' deaths. "Just promise me you won't have a heart attack and, well, die again."

"Why? Harry, who died? Tell me!" James asks his son with an urgent yet anxious tone.

"Uh, well," Harry stuttered, "Sirius and Remus died during the war. I'm really sorry that you had to find out like this."

For a while James was silent and processing information. "M-Moony and Padfoot... D-dead? No, no they can't be!"

"Dad," Harry put a hand on his father's shoulder and James' head shot up at being called 'Dad', "I'm sorry."

"How?" Lily, who previously had been silently crying, asked in a broken whisper.

"Sirius died in the Death Chamber in the Department of Mysteries part of the Ministry of Magic. Bellatrix LeStrange hit him with a curse and h-he fell through the veil. All my fault really. I'm the reason he was there in the first place. I was naive and instead of thinking things through I had to go and jump the gun. Sirius went to save my sorry arse and it got him killed. Just like I get everyone kil-"

"Stop!" Ginny shouted over his incessant rambling. "Harry Potter, you listen to me."

She gently took his face in her hands and faced him to look at her. "You are not the reason Sirius is dead. Or Remus, or Tonks, or Fred for that matter. Bellatrix, and Dolohov, and the rest of the Death Eaters, and overall Voldemort is responsible. He is the reason this war happened. He's the the reason you grew up without parents and he's the reason that my family and I will have to live the rest of our lives without Fred."

Ginny paused as Harry wiped the stray tears from her cheeks. "He's reason George couldn't look in a mirror for months after Fred died w-without breaking down. You are the reason it's all over. You saved everyone, Harry. And everyone knew you were worth fighting with. They knew what they were getting themselves into, yet they still followed along because they believed in you. I believe in you, Harry Potter, and I always have."

With a sad sigh Harry kissed Ginny's cheek and turned to his parents.

James had a tear running down his cheek at the thought of his best friends dead and Lily was holding him while also tearing up.

Once they were all calmed down James quietly asked, "Tonks? Who's that?"

"Tonks is- uh, was," Harry corrected himself quickly, "Remus' wife. They were married for a while before they died. They actually had a son, my godson, Teddy."

Harry pulled his wallet out of his pocket and slid out a picture of a boy who was about two or three years old with turquoise hair. He handed it to James. "He's actually coming this weekend to spend a couple of nights, but it's okay if you want me to call his grandmother and tell her I can't watch him."

"No!" James immediately exclaimed. "I'd love to meet Remus 'I'm too dangerous to ever have a family' Lupin's son. He has Moony's eyes."

"Yeah." Harry agreed.

"Oh, but he's definitely developed Tonks' clumsiness." Ginny laughed lightly.

"Tonks..." Lily said. "I've definitely heard that name before."

"You probably have," Harry nodded, "Tonks is just just her last name. Her name's Nymphadora. She's Sirius' cousin, Andromeda's daughter."

"Isn't she, like, ten years younger than him?" Lily asked her son.

"Thirteen actually." Harry corrected her.

"Way to go, Moony!" James laughed before his wife silenced him with a stern glare that could rival McGonnagall's. "Did Padfoot ever get hitched over the nineteen years we were gone?"

Harry laughed uncomfortably, "about that..."
