He wanted to apperate back to the house at 5 o' clock, so he could arrive back before her but he got caught up in the meeting and couldn't leave until 5.30, the time she was supposed to arrive home. He apperated onto the doorstep at the same time that Ginny arrived by portkey. They hadn't seen each other for a week now due to Ginny being called to play for the England squad. It was the longest they had been apart, with the exception of the war. He hadn't forgotten how beautiful she was. He grabbed her round the waist and kissed her.

"Thats a nice welcome home" she said.

" I can think of a better one" he said " but we have to be inside"

She grinned and looked at his face, as if she had forgotten something and kissed him again. She lent back and opened the door with one hand, her other hand running through Harry's hair.

They started to kiss and both, without separating, pulled each other through the door and he kicked the door shut with his foot behind them.

They stopped kissing in the hallway, for oxygen rather than anything else and he looked at her. It was intoxicating to be close to each other again. The smell of her shampoo, or perfume or whatever it was was that powerful smell of flowers that always seemed to emanate from her. He wondered why he hadn't placed it that day in his potions class, but there was plenty of time to think about that later. She grinned at him, looking at him and committing his features to memory .

With no words spoken they lent into each other and started to kiss again, this time only more passionate and determined. They fell into the living room, not even switching the light on. They both knew where the settee was and fell onto it. After a few seconds the lights switched on and the sound of a group of people shouting

"surprise" stopped them in their tracks. They stopped, like startled rabbits. Harry was suddenly acutely aware of his hands under Ginny quidditch top and her hands on the belt of his trousers under his robes. Ginny was the first to recover from the shock and pushed him off her, very forcibly. By which time he was recovering and managed to stop himself from falling off the sofa . He sat up on the opposite end of the sofa. Somebody coughed. Ginny looked around.

"Can we start again?" she joked. As Harry looked around he saw lots of shocked faces and parents shielding their children's eyes. He felt like a naughty schoolboy, but also he wanted to laugh.

Nobody mentioned their introduction to the party again to him except George who said that he was considering making a firework of it for prosperity. Ginny would defiantly be using the bat bogey hex if she'd overheard that. They had been separated after their introduction to the party, her mother had grabbed Ginny and was talking to her.

He figured they were letting them off easy as the wedding was in a months time, but he could still tell they weren't happy. Ron was speaking to him about the Chudley Cannons new player, pretending nothing had happened. Harry remembered that they had recently changed their motto to " In a sport where winning is everything, losers are precious". Harry had neglected to mention this to Ron.

He saw Ginny slip into the kitchen, alone, having escaped her mother. He excused himself from Ron and slipped into the kitchen himself. Ginny was staring out of the window, out into the garden which was in darkness. He knew that she had seen him approaching in the window. She turned round and kissed him.

"How are you doing ?" he said.

" Fine, my mother keeps reminding me to be careful, but I'll cope. I think she thinks i won't show for the wedding if i get pregnant now. I'am definantly not ,by the way. Thank god they didn't catch us earlier. We got off really easy"

" Yeah, Ron's just pretending it didn't happen"

" Sorry about pushing you before"

" No probs" he said and smiled.

she smiled back and then kissed him again and he swept her up so she was sitting on the work surface. She wrapped her legs around him, pulling him closer to her.

A child's laugh and another's scream of "yuk" ran through the kitchen.

"Kissing is horrible" said Teddy , sticking his finger down his throat to simulate being sick ( he, somehow, assumed George had taught him this). Vittore was standing next to him, laughing and covering her mouth, as if she had seen something naughty.

" Don't knock it until you've tried it" said Harry, after breaking the kiss and walking over towards the kids. Ginny jumped down and followed him. Harry picked up Teddy and Ginny held Vittore and they placed the children on the worktop, so they were eye to eye.

" I don't like girls, they're funny" said Teddy, looking down his nose at the younger Vittore.

" You like Auntie Ginny don't you?" said Harry , giving Ginny a wink. Ginny who was being made to stroke Vittores unicorn teddy . Buck (Teddy's stuffed Hippograph) was nowhere to be seen, Teddy was trying to act older and sophisticated, even though he would have no idea what it meant.

" Yeah, but she's not a proper girl, she doesn't wear dresses and look after babies and stuff, She does cool stuff like paying quidditch"

" My mummy always wears a dress. When I'm older I'm going to wear a dress everyday and be a princess" said Vittore. Then realizing that Teddy had said he liked Ginny , she added "and play quidditch" . Then Bill's voice ran through the kitchen

" There you are" he said to Vittore.

" We better be going home. Mummy's tired and Daddy has to go to work early tomorrow" He noticed Harry and Ginny.

" Hey, Ginny, congratulations on playing for England, sorry we have to leave so early"

" No problem" she said.

" Gin, be good, especially around him" he said pointing and laughing at Harry. Harry pretended to look shocked.

" You can talk, when's Fleur due again? Isn't it sometime this week?" Bill choose to ignore that comment and return to teasing them.

" After your earlier performance i was surprised mum didn't perform some charm to keep you apart until next month"

" Hey, you've never listened to her, why should i?"

" Spoken like a true weasley" said Bill, winking at Ginny.

"See you later" he said, giving a goodbye hug to Harry and Ginny. " I'll floo when we go to St Mungo's"

Teddy yawned and Ginny took him to bed. Andromoda was staying in the guest room, which meant that Ginny couldn't stay the night. They had developed a system that could work with Harry going to sleep and, with the help of silencing charms, Ginny could apperate into the bedroom and apperate out before the morning, There was always the possibility of Teddy wanting to wake Harry early in the morning which was a distinct possibility. She arrived back to find Harry still hiding in the kitchen.

" Where were we before we were interrupted?" she said

" I believe we were about here" he said going to kiss her again but instead whispering in her ear

"You're always be a princess to me" she laughed

" when did you become so corny?" she asked. He moved his lips down and when they were less than a a millimeter apart Ron's voice spread throughout he kitchen.

"Hey England quidditch player and chosen one"

Harry dropped his head into Ginnys shoulder, exasperated and made a growling noise. Ginny laughed. "Ron, you timing is, as usual, impeccable"

" It's not my fault you jump on each other every time you're alone" he said.

She pulled Harrys face up to hers and kissed his cheek " Don't worry about him, he's just jealous now he's an old married man"

" less of the old you" said Ron. They both turned to look at him standing in the doorway. Then he added " and i seem to recall two people in this room are getting married next month."

"Who else is in here?" Ginny said looking around.

"You in denial then Ginny?" Ron said and gave her a look that meant you're not as funny or clever than you think you are.

"Hey, why wasn't I told about the surprise party?" Harry asked Ron.

"It was mum's idea, last minute. I was only told at lunchtime and i suppose they assumed you'd be home before Ginny"

"You Weasley's, anything for a party." said Harry

"Oi" both Ron and Ginny screamed. " I can still reconsider" Ginny said.

"Ok, Ok, i give up" said Harry and held his hands up in mock surrender.

"You better mister" said Ginny

" Arguing like a married couple already" said Ron

"Is it really different?" said Harry. His tone was serious.

"Well, mum changes her nagging from being about getting married to grandchildren, and there's less sneaking around" he said with a grin on his face. " But generally, everything's the same so far" he contemplated the question for a while. " Although you do feel more, uh, secure" was the word that he choose, but they could tell that it was wasn't the perfect word but it was the best fit.

Ginny was kind of uncomfortable thinking of her brother married. Hermonie was her friend and Ron her brother. She thought about how she had once caught Ron and Hermonie is a compromising position, and how awful it was. How had Ron felt earlier that evening ? It was his younger sister and his best friend. She decided Ron was not the person to ask about relationships and that the subject needed to be changed. Ginny said " Have you heard the new Cannon's motto?"
