Angel on Campus Keeperoliver Chapter 11

George knew something was not right with Hermione. She seemed distant and and caught in a train of thought that did not involve him. "Hermione, If you wish to be elsewhere, I understand. You seem to be of in space, and this is not where you want to be. Something has happened, and it's killing you not knowing what is happening. It has something to do with Harry, doesn't it?"

"Oh, George, I'm sorry if I'm ruining this for you. This is supposed to be our time, and I promised myself that I would enjoy this. But last night, I finally confronted Ginny as to the way she had ignored me all week. It upset me that my best friend was mad at me, and I didn't have a clue as to why? So last night I cornered her, and asked her what the problem was. She said it was me. To make a long story short, She thought I was forgiven by Harry, and that he and I had hooked up. So convinced in this was she, that she went to Luna's and told her about it. It seems that Luna then wrote a letter to Harry, wanting to know what was going on. I told her that she was mistaken, that it wasn't Harry that had asked me out, that it was you. She was so upset that she pit herself in one of her moods that she so often does. You know, when she closes herself off to everyone. We went to Harry's to explain what had happened, but, found out he had moved, which only made matters worse. She thought she had driven him away again. I was going to floo you, to cancel our weekend, but, thought, why? Why should both of us be miserable. I would enjoy this weekend with you, and meet up with Ginny on Monday, and start the search for Harry all over again. Now that I am here, I can't get the picture of her misery out of my mind. I'm sorry George, for laying this all on you. You deserve a better time, but, my heart is not in it."

"Well then, why don't we go visit my little sister, and see how she is doing? If she needs some one to cheer her up, it's the least we could do, don't you think?"

Thank you George. It would make me feel better, knowing she is alright."

They flooed to #12, and met a dancing Kreacher, with two young children. The looks on their faces was priceless. "Miss Grangy, why are you here so early? I be not expecting you, until tomorrow evening?" The elf said while continuing his dancing with James and Lillian.

"Kreacher, why are you so happy, and where are Harry and Ginny?"

"Right behind you Hermione." She heard a male voice. She turned, and saw the couple cuddling in the chair of to the side of the floo they had just arrived from.

"Can you please tell me what is going on here, Harry? And why are you here?"

"Well, this is my house, isn't it? I mean you and Ginny live here, but, it is still mine."

"That is not what I meant, and you know it. Now, tell me what has happened?"

"Do me a favor first, and floo Luna, and ask her to come for a visit. If we are going to tell anyone, she had to be included. I mean it Hermione, if it wasn't for Luna's persistence, none of this would have come about."

Hermione shrugged her shoulders, and flooed Luna. Luna appeared a minute later, and Harry and Ginny had them all sit. Except for Kreacher, James, and Lillian, who continued to dance through out the room. Luna watched them, with a smile on her face. She looked to Ginny, with that smile, "Her asked you didn't he? And you accepted, didn't you?"

Ginny had the grin of the Cheshire cat on her face. "Yes to both Luna."

Luna jumped up, and hugged her and Harry, and joined the dancers, leaving a confused Hermione and George.

George finally had enough, "Will somebody please, tell us what the bloody hell is going on here?"

Ginny, still wearing the grin looked at George and Hermione, "If you must know, Harry asked me to marry him, and I accepted. Of course he still has to get me a ring, to make it official."

Hermione jumped up like Luna had done, and brought them both into a bone rubbing hug. She started crying, but, they were tears of joy. She then ran, and joined the dancers.

Harry spoke up then. "If I knew we were going to have a ball, I would have had music here for every one to enjoy. Shall we dance my love?" He asked Ginny, and stood up, still holding her in his arms, like a bridal carry. He put her done, and started dancing with her. George feeling left out, joined Hermione, and Kreacher snapped his fingers, and music started playing. Harry and Ginny pulled Luna in for their dance, and this continued on for about 15 more minutes.

Harry then asked if they wished to see their new residence, and all but Kreacher smiled and nodded their agreement. Harry saw the look of disappointment on the elves face. "Kreacher, don't you wish to see your new home?"

Kreacher looked up astonished. "You be asking Kreacher to join you, Master Harry?"

"Of course Kreacher. You don't think I'll be leaving my friend behind do you?"

"You be calling Kreacher your friend Master Harry?"

Harry got down on his knees in front of Kreacher, "Of course I'm calling you my friend, Kreacher. You didn't think I would be leaving you behind did you. There are things I have to discuss with you though, just not right now. So, are you coming?"

Kreacher nodded.

"OK, what I will have to do, is take Ginny and Luna with me, so that we can apparate, and they will know where we are going, then we will come back and get you."

"Master Harry, If you go, then call for Kreacher, he can join you, and take who ever remains with him."

"Well, that works. Why don't I take the kids, and then you can bring the rest Kreacher?"

"Yes Master Harry."

They were all soon standing in Harry's spacious living room. Hermione looked around her, and fell in love with the beautiful place. Of course Ginny chided her on her affection. "Hermione, don't even think about it. He is mine, and the house comes with him."

Hermione frowned, "Wishful thinking I guess." Then she started laughing, "Harry this is beautiful. How did you ever manage to find this place?"

"Believe it or not Hermione, I had to quit my job, to be offered it. It's very expensive though. I hope I'm able to afford it, on the little money I make."

"Shit, Harry. You're richer than the Malfoys, so I know you're pulling our legs." George quipped.

"Alright, you got me. Really, though. I went in Monday morning top turn in my resignation, where I work. Instead of accepting it, they offered me this, a knew job title, and a salary, rather than an hourly wage."

Luna asked the question, "Where do you work, Harry, and do they need any help?"

Harry took Luna's hand, and led her to the front door. He opened it, and showed her the University. Luna stared at the famous institute. "Cambridge, Harry?"

Harry nodded, and upon hearing Luna's words, Hermione went running to the door. She looked out, and then shrieked. She threw her arms around Harry and Hugged him. Ginny stared at this, and Hermione saw it, and jumped back. "Sorry Gin, it was the heat of the moment. Harry, what do you do here?"

"Well, my knew title is the God of Flour, Sugar, and Spices. Being as how I am a god, they thought they had to treat me that way, and pay me the same way. The house was left to the school, by a retired Dean. No one wanted it, because it was too big, and thought it would be too expensive to maintain. My rent is 1 pound a month, and the utilities are paid for by the school, being it is school property. Well, what do you think Gin, could you live here. And how about you Kreacher. And Luna, if you want a job, all you have to do is ask."

"Well, I still don't know what you do? Rolf doesn't make a lot of money, and we really could use the extra income."

"Luna, what is it about me you like the most, other than my astonishingly good looks and my amazing charm?"

"You're humility?"

Harry chuckled, "Besides that?"

"Oh, then your amazing pastries."

"And that is what I do here. I am the baker for the University. But, about half of the population of Cambridge visits the dining hall for my treats. Thus, the title, God of Flour, Sugar, and Spices."

Luna's eyes got as big as Kreachers. "I WANT IT, I WANT IT! Where do I sign up?"

"Visit me in the dining hall Monday, and I will take you to who you will have to see. I have been asked if I need a helper, but, thus far, I have refused. With you, I can't do that. I really do want the help, it's just I didn't want to just trust anybody. The person had to be special."

Harry had hardly ever seen Luna cry, but at his caring words, she couldn't help it. She walked over to him, and hugged him, "Thank you Harry for those beautiful words, and the opportunity to try all your delicious delights. Of course I'll have to talk to Rolf about it, but, I'm sure he will be more than happy to accept, especially if I get to bring some home with me."

Ginny was beginning to get antsy. "Harry, there are a lot of people we have to talk to. They need to know. Mom will have a cow, not being told first."

You're right Ginny. George, Hermione, I believe this was your date weekend, do you want to go back home, or do you think you would like to spend it here?"

Hermione looked to George, and nodded for him to answer, "Harry, do you have enough room for us to stay here for the weekend?"

Harry took them upstairs, and showed them the five bedrooms. The five Massive bedrooms. Hermione fell in love all over again.

"I think I have enough room, George, Don't you.?"

"Alright, you twisted our arms. Since I can't take your pleading, we'll stay." Hermione jumped into his arms, and gave George a well deserved Snogging.

"Luna, you and Rolf are welcome to stay as well, if you wish?"

"Really Harry? I would like that. It would be a change from our little place, not that I don't love it, mind you, but, with the twins coming, we will have to look for a new place."

"Great, Now while you get Rolf, and Hermione and George go sight seeing, I will take Ginny, James, and Lillian to go see Grandma and Grandpa Weasley. Shall we go ?"

The small group popped to the Burrow, and walked the trail to the home. Just like it always happened, Molly was running out to meet them, She pulled Harry into a hug, then Ginny, and then the children, holding them longer than the other two, and not as tight. James and Lilian had their arms rapped around her neck, returning the hug. After they separated, they walked back to the house, and took a seat at the kitchen table. They all had something to drink in front of them. "So, Ginny, and Harry, what brings you here?"

Ginny looked to Harry, and he just let her go. "Mom, we all have something to tell you, but, would prefer that dad was here as well. It is something we need to tell you together. Is he here?"

"Yes dear, he upstairs cleaning the attic, or at least that is what he is supposed to be doing. James, will you run up and get Arthur for me please?" He nodded, and ran off for the stairs. "Such a good boy, and such a sweet young lady as well. Harry you must be very proud of them?"

"More than you can imagine MOM." Emphasizing the last word.

Molly noticed this, and smiled brightly.

James and Arthur came down the stairs. James running, and Arthur being careful. They made it to the kitchen, where He hugged his daughter, Harry, and Lillian. "Well, what brings you all here? And Harry, once again, let me tell you it is good to have you back."

"Thanks DAD. It's good to be back."

Arthur also noticed the emphasis put on Harry calling him dad. "Thank you Harry. That is an honor I accept whole heartily."

"OK Ginny, why don't I go first, and then I'll let you get to the heart of the matter. Mom, dad, I have been an idiot for the past four years. I have let my self pity get in the way of what I could have had. But, in the same vein, if I hadn't done it, I may have never found these two beautiful children, my cousins. That being said, I will let Ginny finish this."

"Mom, dad, this may come as a shock to you, as it sure did to me. As you know, I have had a rough time of it these past four years. That has all been forgotten, after last night. Mom, dad, Harry asked me to marry him, and I accepted."

Molly and Arthur sat there with a blank expression on their faces. They sat there for quite a few seconds, when Molly screamed, "Yes, we are going to be a family again. Oh, thank you Harry." She laid kiss after kiss on his cheeks and she continued to chant thank you to him. James and Lillian were laughing in their seats at their grandma. "What are you laughing at you little stinkers?" She said while tickling them. Arthur in the mean time crooked his finger at Harry, asking him to join him outside. Ginny saw this, and started to get worried.

Harry and Arthur made their way to the swing that Harry and Ginny use to share. "Harry, I am going to be serious here for a minute. When you left four years ago, you left us a torn family. Having just lost Fred, and then losing you, was too much for us. We did something we would never normally have done. We put the blame for you leaving on Ginny and Hermione. We didn't want to face the truth that it was all of us. But, with you coming back, then finding your cousins, and now this. Thank you, for bringing our family back together. I want you to know, that I support your marriage to my daughter with my full blessings. This is what she always wanted. To be Mrs. Harry Potter. I know it was a childhood wish, but, when you saved her back in her first year, it changed. She no longer had a childhood crush on the boy who lived. It was then passion that she knew would become a reality, if she ever got to show you how much you meant to her. You don't know how afraid she was you would develop a crush on Hermione. She almost hated her. But, once she got to know her, it all changed once again. As much as she loved you, she would never get in the way if you decided Hermione is what you wanted. Yes, she was hurt when you finally got together, then you broke it off. But, she never stopped loving you. I guess what I'm trying to say is Harry, take care of my little girl. Love her for who she is, not what she was. Cherish her as I cherish her mother. Welcome back to the family SON."

Harry hugged Arthur for a minute, tears flowing down his cheeks. He didn't bother to try and wipe them off. They walked back to the Burrow with the tears still flowing. Ginny looked up, and saw Harry with the tears, and feared the worst. "Dad, I don't know what you told Harry, but, I am going to marry him, with or without your blessing. I love him with all my heart, and will not lose him again."

"Ginny calm down, love. Dad just gave me his blessings. He said he supported our being married. Now, all we have to do, is set a date."

Luna found Rolf sitting beside the fireplace, when she flooed home. He was drinking some coffee, waiting for his wife. He smiled at her when she walked through. Hello Love, did Ginny have anything interesting to say?"

"Yes love, she did, Her and Harry are getting married. Harry asked us to spend the weekend at his place, and I told him I would ask you? I think you will like his house, it is quite big."

"If that is what you wish to do, it's fine with me. We should probably get some things to take with us. Before we go though, I think we need to talk sweetheart. I have gone over our finances, and though we need a larger home, I can't see how we could afford it. Even if you got a job, it would be difficult, what with the twins on the way. I know you had your heart set on moving baby, but, I just can't see how we can afford it?"

"It will work out in the end, Rolf, it always does. Now, quit worrying about it. Let's go have some fun for a change. I have a lot to tell you. Or should I say, we have a lot to tell you. Harry, Ginny, and I. Oh, and Hermione and George will be staying there as well."

"Is Harry's place big enough for all of us?"

"You have no idea."

Hermione and George loved the town of Cambridge. It was friendly, clean, and rich in culture. The college brought many diverse cultures to the community. Students from around the world called this their home away from home. Hermione had not told George about Harry's hidden identity. That was up to Harry to tell, but that was why everyone felt safe. When they mentioned Harry's name while they were out, people would shake their hands saying that any one who knew their god, had to be blessed. George on several occasions would turn his head to show his missing ear, saying not only was he blessed, but he was holy as well.

Finally they headed back to Harry's home, and were surprised when they found that there were more there then when they left. Harry and Ginny brought Arthur and Molly back with them, to show them the house.

Harry asked James and Lillian if they mind sharing a room for the evening, and they agreed to share. Now everyone had a room for the evening. Harry saw worry in the eyes of Rolf though.

"Hey Rolf, can you help me with something for a bit?"

"Sure Harry."

Harry led them into an office on the first floor, and closed the door. "Rolf, is something wrong. You look upset about something?"

"No, there is nothing for you to worry about Harry. It personal, and Luna and I can handle it."

"You're not having problems are you?"

"Yes, but like I said, we can handle it. Don't worry about it Harry."

"Sorry Rolf, but, when it comes to Luna, I worry about her. Rolf, she is the one who brought me to my senses. She is the one who brought me back to my family. I would do anything for her Rolf. You know that I am going to help her get a job here, don't you?"

"No, I didn't Harry. She told me you had some surprises for me. That must have been one of them."

Harry saw something in Rolf's eyes. Jealousy. "Rolf, please don't get this wrong, but, you have nothing to fear from me. I love Luna, as I would a sister. As I do Hermione. I would do anything for them. But, I love Ginny with my heart. She is the reason I could never love Hermione or Luna that way. Those three woman are my family, as a wife, and sisters. Please don't let this be a problem with you and Luna. She loves you, as I love Ginny. If there is something I can do to help you, I will do it, for the simple reason, you are family, being married to my sister. Now, is there a problem I can help you with, Brother."

Rolf laughed. He felt that Harry had just said what he wanted to hear most. "Thank you Harry. I really had to know how you felt about my Luna. You have given me something I never had before, a brother. Yes, Luna and I have a big problem. Finances. We need a bigger house, but, we just can't afford it right no. Being an author does not always pay the bills. The job you got for Luna helps out quite a bit, but, I don't know of it will be enough?"

"Rolf, Monday I will be bringing Luna up to see the administrator of the university. I want you to come along. I believe I may be able to solve your problem. In the mean time, I want you to think about something. Ginny and I have plenty of space here, even with my two cousins. How would you feel about moving in with us, until you can get on you own two feet. I owe Luna and you a lot. Just call it giving a brother a helping hand."

"Are you sure Harry. That's an awful lot to be asking of you? Not that I am rejecting the offer, but, are you sure Ginny won't mind?"

"Ginny will be fine with it. She loves Luna as a sister. Don't forget who she goes to when she has a problem. Now, are you ready to go back out and face the family?"

"Ya, I think so, Harry, and again, thank you."

They opened the door to the family standing around the door trying to listen in.

Harry just laughed, "I told you we were family. If this doesn't prove it, I don't know what will."
