Decisions

Hermione stood for a few moments watching the sleeping couple with a smile on her lips. Shaking herself from her thoughts, she approached and put a hand on Harry's shoulder.

"Harry" she whispered. "Harry, wake up please…"

Harry stirred in his sleep and slowly turned and opened his eyes, to find Hermione inches away from his face.

"'Mione…" he greeted her sleepily.

"Morning yourself, Harry" she answered winking at him.

Harry suddenly came to his senses and blushed furiously.

"Hermione…" he started, only to be cut off by his bushy haired friend.

"It's okay Harry. Just go to your room, before Mrs. Weasley passes through this door…"

Harry sat up slowly, wrapping the sheets around himself and Ginny. Ginny awoke from his movements and hugged him tightly, not letting him go.

"Don't go yet," she murmured sleepily.

"Ginny, if I don't leave, I don't think your family will appreciate me being in your bed…"

"Harry is right," Hermione interrupted. "It's seven o' clock Ginny! Your mother is already up!"

"No," Ginny cried desperately. "Harry don't leave…"

"Ginny…" Harry started.

"Harry please! A few minutes only… it will be quick…"

"What will be quick?" Hermione asked, confused; and blushed a famous Weasley red as the meaning of Ginny's words sank in.

"Oh, you two! You are incorrigible!" she said exasperatedly. "Be quick!" she hissed, placing some locking & silencing charms on the door and dissapparating instantly.

"Congratulations Ginny!" Harry said. "Now I won't be able to look Hermione in the eye for weeks …"

"Oh! Come on Harry! Who cares? Don't waste our very precious time…" she purred and with that she rolled them over and started hungrily kissing Harry.

Meanwhile, Hermione apparated back to Ron's room.

"Did you forget something?" Ron asked from his bed.

"No, Ginny wanted some more time with Harry."

Ron's eyes widened in shock. "Did you catch them in a compromising position?" he asked disgusted.

"No! Not at all! They were sleeping peacefully when I went into the room. You had to see them Ron! They were so peaceful, they were even smiling in their sleep!"

"Really?" Ron asked curiously. If he was honest with himself, Harry hadn't had a peaceful night's sleep since their third year. Let alone smile in his sleep. Although, now that he thought about it, he had seen Harry smiling while he dreamt once during sixth year. Harry was most probably having a very pleasant dream about Ron's sister. This thought caused Ron to shudder but Hermione paid no attention.

"Uh huh! Then I woke Harry, but Ginny didn't want to let him go. She asked for a quickie!"

"She asked for a what? No, no don't tell me! Thanks for the mental image!" he said covering his face with a pillow.

Hermione started laughing.

Some time later, Harry was sitting at the kitchen table with Ron, Hermione and Ginny, eating their breakfast. Mrs. Weasley was fussing over them as always.

"Mrs. Weasley," Harry said, drawing her attention.

"Yes, Harry dear?"

"You know, I need to spend some time with Teddy. I promised Andromeda to help her with Teddy's raising."

"I see…"

"Well, I was thinking to spend a few days with them, but we don't all fit at Andromeda's house…"

"And why is that?" Molly asked.

"You see, Narcissa and Draco live with Andromeda and Teddy, now that Lucius is in Azkaban, and they don't want to return to the Manor because of the bad memories they have from the place."

"So?"

"So, Kreatcher is fixing Grimmauld Place, so they can move there, Andromeda, Teddy, Narcissa and Draco, I mean."

"You'll take the Malfoys into your house?" asked Ron bewildered.

"Yeah, why not? I mean Andromeda needs all the support we can offer and Narcissa has made it clear that she wants to heal the old breach and won't abandon her. Anyway, I think that around the middle of August, the house will be ready for them to move in."

"And why are you telling us that dear?" Mrs. Weasley asked.

"Because I'll be going with them as well," Harry replied calmly.

"You'll do WHAT?" Ron bellowed.

"Ron, I need to spend time with my Godson!"

"Who happens to be my Godson too, thanks to Dora! I'm going with you Harry. I love Teddy every bit as much as you do!" Ginny said vehemently.

"I know Gin, but it's not my decision to make, whether you'll be able to come with me or not" Harry said softly caressing her hand. He looked at Mrs. Weasley, who nodded.

"Of course you can both go! The little one loves you too much and I'm sure you'll have a great time! Although, you are always welcome back when you feel ready to burst from the midnight feeding, the endless night cries and the loads of dirty nappies!" she said mischievously. The couple only smiled.

"Well, that is unheard of!" Ron said. "You are going nowhere without me and Hermione!"

"Ron..." Harry started.

"I don't care if it is your bloody house, Mate. I'm not leaving you and my little sister in the same house with a pair of Malfoys. Got enough of that last year, thanks. My decision is already made, Harry, so don't try to change it!" he said while Hermione nodded her approval.

"Even if you have to put up with Draco on a daily basis?"

Ron made a strangled sound but kept his head. "Yes!"

"Wonderful!" exclaimed Ginny. "I look forward watching you and Malfoy sharing a night of feeding and cooing and changing little Teddy!"

The color drained from Ron's face.

"But… but you are his Godparents! You should be doing all that! Not me!"

His statement earned him a slap on the head from his mother, an elbow in the ribs from Hermione and a furious glare from Ginny. Harry only laughed.

"But Ron" he said through fits of laughter, "all of us will have our fair share of those! You can't be the only one just watching and leave all the DIRTY jobs to us!"

"Can I at least be paired with Hermione?" Ron asked hopefully, causing everyone in the kitchen to double over with laughter.

That night, when everyone was in the garden, Harry approached Molly.

"Mrs. Weasley? Could we take a little walk and have a word?" he asked.

"Of course Harry."

She stood up and they took a stroll around the pond of the Burrow in silence.

"Thank you," Harry said after a while.

"What ever for, Harry?"

"For everything. Everything you've done for me since the very first time we met at King's Cross Station."

Molly started to interrupt, but Harry held up a hand.

"No, please, let me finish," He sighed and continued. "Last summer I realized how much pain I was causing you; taking Ron and Hermione and leaving for God knows where. I never wanted to see your eyes so full of pain, and it broke my heart knowing that I was the one causing it. I never thanked you for taking me in, for treating me as one of your own. I'd never felt loved before you lot came to my life. You changed my whole life. And now I am taking your children away again and you're not stopping me. Why?"

"Why? Harry my children are safe with you! We are not in war any more, but mostly I know that you need them all by your side."

"You need them Mrs. Weasley, not me."

"No Harry, I have Arthur. You need your friends. And don't thank me. Family looks out for one another." And with that she pressed a kiss on Harry's cheek, patted him on the shoulder and returned to the rest of her family.
