CHAPTER 2

Enjoy

Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Ginny all apparated back to the Burrow. Ginny and harry, not having their licences yet, had to side-apparate with Ron and Hermione. Upon their arrival, the first thing that they smelled was lunch. Ron almost ran back into the tall, curving, building.

"Ronald! Where have you three been? Oh, I see, off getting Harry?" Mrs. Weasley said as she spotted Harry walking through the door with Hermione and Ginny. She walked up to Harry and pulled him into a hug. "Oh my dear boy, you are much too thin. What have those muggles been feeding you? Nothing?" Ginny grinned at Harry as Mrs. Weasley began her usual 'You havn't been feed enough' lecture and piled lunch high on a plate for him. Harry noticed that she seemed more tired than usual and she had clear signs of severe stress. He guessed that it was due to Dumbledore death and the order business that she was like this and wondered quickly if she had slept at all that week.

"Hello to you too, Mrs. Weasley." Harry laughed as she set the plate down in front of him and walked into the living room to see if Mr. Weasley was there.

"I reckon that she thinks of you more of a son than me, Harry." Ron said cheerfully.

"She does look awfully tired though," Ginny said sitting next to Harry and piling sandwiches onto her plate.

"Well, with everything that has been going on, what did you expect. She still hasn't gotten over Dumbledore dying." Ron muttered grimly as Arthur Weasley stepped into the kitchen.

"Harry! How have you been?" Harry shook hands with him.

"I've been better, but pretty good." He replied. Mr. Weasley nodded grimly.

"Yes, well that's to be expected after what happened." He shuddered at the thought and shook his head. "Well, I'd best be off. We are flooded at work and they need all of the help that they can get."

He kissed his wife good-bye and wave to the kids. He walked outside and apparated to the ministry of magic.

"Well, I have to go upstairs. I think that there might be a Bundimun in the house and I need to deal with it before it gets too bad." Mrs. Weasley said, getting up and pulling her wand out of her pocket.

"What's a Bundimun?" Harry asked Hermione after Mrs. Weasley had left.

"It is a mold-like animal that rots away the foundation of the building that it dwells in." She replied proudly.

"Um, okay." Harry blinked, trying to clear the image of a fungus the size of an elephant out of his head. He looked at Ron and Ginny. "Do you guy's want to have a Quidditch match?"

"Sure, but we only have three people." Ron said.

"Aren't you forgetting someone?" Said a voice from behind them. They all spun around and saw Ron's second eldest brother, Charlie, standing in the kitchen doorway.

"Charlie!" Ginny ran to Charlie and hugged him.

"Hey Ginny, how have you guys been?" He asked Harry, Ron, and Hermione. He shook Harrys hand and nodded at him.

"We've been okay, I guess." Ron answered. He, too, hugged Charlie and said, "So, you think that you can take Harry Potter in quidditch? Let's see you try." Ron grinned at Harry. Harry had been the youngest seeker in a century. Charlie had been the seeker before Harry, or rather, the only seeker good enough to win Gryffindor a Quidditch Cup.

"I think I'll manage." Charlie grinned. Harry vanished his things upstairs (except for his Firebolt of course) and ran out onto the large field that they usually used to play. They played three games, Harry-Ginny vs. Charlie-Ron, Harry-Ron vs. Charlie-Ginny, and Ron-Ginny vs. Harry-Charlie. Harry won two out of the three games and by the time they were done it was getting to be dinner time.

"Well, that was fun. Next time we will have to get more people." Said Ginny.

"Yeah. Maybe Hermione will play." Harry couldn't help but laughing at his own words. It was common knowledge that Hermione hated flying and would never like it enough to play a high speed game like quidditch. Ron, Charlie, and Ginny grinned also. Harry wrapped his arm around Ginny's

midsection and pulled her close to him. She laid her head on his shoulder and the walked into the house.

The next few days in the Burrow were extremely busy. They had very little time before the wedding between Fluer and Bill and harry still hadn't even gotten his things. He went to Diagon alley and got his gift, his clothes, and a present for Ginny, as her birthday was coming up soon. He also had to get ready for his trip to search for the Horcruxes. He had no plans on going to Hogwarts this year and hoped that the others would stay. He did not want any of them hurt, especially Ginny.

He flooed back to the Burrow from the Twins' joke shop.

"Oh, Harry, dear, you're back." Mrs. Weasley greeted him. "Now I've got everything ready. Bill said that they would be having the wedding in the garden. Go take a look."

Harry walked out into the garden and almost fainted in shock There was a gateway, covered in red roses, standing in front of what used to be a field, but had since then been transfigured into a lake. There were many other flowers lining the water's edge and many birds swam in the cool, glasslike, waters. Harry gasped as the sight hit him.

"So do you like it?" Mrs. Weasley asked tentatively.

"It's... incredible." Harry said slowly.

"Oh, good. I was hoping that I would get that kind of response from you. This is what yours and Ginny's wedding will be like." Harry choked on his water as she said this. He couldn't believe what he had just heard. She was already making wedding plans for him and Ginny? He didn't even know if he would live through his mission of destroying all of the horcruxes and killing voldemort, much less getting married. Although, now that he thought of it, it did sound tempting. Him and Ginny, married, kids. Yeah, it might not be so bad, someday.

"Maybe someday Mrs. Weasley, but not yet. First of all were still too young." Harry grinned.

"Oh, well of course. I wouldn't let Ginny get married yet if she wanted to, and I'm sure she does." Mrs. Weasley smiled at Harry and walked back inside, leaving him alone to imagine what it would be like if he was married to Ginny.

"It's beautiful, isn't it." Said a soft voice from behind him. He knew it was Ginny and he smiled.

"Yeah. Wait, how long have you been there?" He asked suddenly embarrassed.

"Oh, I came in around the time that mum said 'this is what yours and ginny's wedding will be like'.

Somewhere around there." She smiled.

"Oh." Harry blushed.

"So do you really want to marry me?" Ginny asked in all seriousness.

"Someday, yes, I'd like to marry you, Ginevra Weasley." Harry said. He pulled her close to him and brushed his lips against hers. She kissed him back. He deepened the kiss and pulled her closed.

"HARRY, GINNY, TIME FOR DINNER!" Ron yelled and the pair broke off.

"I'm going to kill him." Ginny said angrily

"Not if I do first. Race you." They took off at a sprint. Their Quidditch training had helped them to be able to move faster. The rounded on Ron and glared at him. He put his hands up and tried to run. He ran to the house and was saved by Mr. Weasley coming home.

"Oh, Mr. Weasley, how was your day?" Harry asked him as he skidded to a halt, Ginny right behind him.

"Oh, it was a bloody nightmare. There has been three more arrests and one suspect, but I doubt that they will get any real proof that they are really death eaters. They caught one bloke, drunk as I've ever seen anyone, telling a bunch of witches that he was best friends with you-know-who in school, but he can't have been older than twenty-five." They walked into the burrow and sat down for dinner. They were having a roast, mashed potatoes, and several other things that Harry did not know the name of. Harry caught Ron and Hermione glancing over the table at each other and grinned. He figured that they would start going out soon, but it didn't stop him from thinking it was weird to have his two best friends going out with each other.

"I know. They've been at it all summer." whispered Ginny, who had obviously watching Harry. "It's a bit sickening, really. They both like the other, but can't seem to spit it out." At this point, Harry seriously considered brewing up some Veritaserum and forcing them to tell the other how they feel, but then he realized that he might get more information than he wanted.

"Well, there doesn't seem to be anything that we can do about it. We will just have to wait it out and maybe they will come to their senses." Harry muttered back. Ginny snorted. She obviously didn't believe that was going to happen. Of course, neither did Harry.

After dinner it was tea then bed. Harry said his goodnights and walked up to Fred and George's old room, which he was using during his stay. He laid down and almost immediately fell asleep.

Harry awoke in what seemed like minutes. He looked at the clock on the other side of the room and saw that it was two in the morning. He realized that something was different. He looked to the other side of the bed and saw long, red, hair.

"I had a nightmare."Said Ginny. Harry smiled and laid back down. He put his arm around Ginny, buried his head in the crook of her neck, and went back to sleep.

A/n: okay, well, that was more of a prep chapter for the wedding and something else that I will not spoil yet. Anyway, I had a request from a friend that gives me her reviews in person to put something with Ginny and harry in the end so here you go Kim. Hope u liked it.

P.s. I wont be able to update for a few days so don't get all mad at me. I am sick so technically I am not allowed on the internet to post this 1.

Hellyoukai.
