So, Mr. Weasley helped move his stuff down to Ginny's room, and with a final nod, and a stern, "Behave yourselves!" left.
Harry and Ginny sat in silence as tension and ackwardness built gradually between them. A half an hour went by as Harry unpacked, putting things in various places. He could feel Ginny's eyes following him around the room, and he gradually started to get nervous. It suddenly rose to hysteria. Wide eyed with fear, he bolted to the bed, and laid next her, snuggling up close. It abruptly stopped. Mr. Weasley hadn't been kidding. He had pretty much gone through a withdrawal, just by not being next to her.
"Wow hubey, whatever has gotten into you?" She asked in a sweetly innocent voice.
The tension that had been there before immediately broke, and he snorted.
"I was getting nervous, and then i got really scared.. I can't explain it. I think it's what your dad was talking about. We constantly need to be with each other. Haven't you been feeling it?"
"Naw. Just been getting a little hungry." she said with a shrug.
"Only a Weasley..." said Harry under his breath.
"What was that Potter? Just remember, i'm not Weasley anymore, i am Miss Ginerva Potter." Her hands were on her hips, and she was glaring at him in an uncanny resemblance to her mother.
Just then, there was a knock, and Ron and Hermione opened the door and walked into the room.
Ron blurted out, with his usual display of not being very tact, "Is it true? Are you married?" They both held up their hands to show the rings that had formed.
Hermione sighed and said, "You guys are so lucky! A true aurum marriage hasn't been recorded in over one thousand years. It's very advanced magic!"
Ron said in a huffy voice, "Yeah yeah, that's not the point though. Just don't go...messing about with my sister Harry!"
Ginny glared at him and said angrily, "He's my husband, he'll do whatever he pleases! Besides, With an aurum marriage, you need to constanty be in contact or you get sick!"
Ron turned with a stony face and left. Hermione made to follow him, but Harry said, "Wait. There's something you might be able to help me with."
He showed her the letter his father had left. She was silent for five minutes.
Finally Harry said, "You know anything about this Phoenix place?"
She nodded, eyes wide. "It's where...everything started. Magic that is. I thought it was a myth. I guess not. Texts say it's far in the forbidden forest, deep underneath the school. People have looked, but they never come back. If you really are going to look for it, we'll need to review some spells...but till then i need to go help Ron. Behave yourselves!"
She stalked out of the room.
Harry snorted. "Everyone seems to think that just because we're sleeping together now, that we're going to be-"
He stopped suddenly as he realized that Ginny was undressing right in front of him. He locked the door with his wand and hissed, "What are you doing!"
"What? That dress was hot! And i dunno. It just seems right. It's like i can't get embarrased by you, no matter what i do..." And with that she took off her bra.
"Ginny! No don't! What if your parents come in!?" he said angrily, but all of it was said in a whisper.
"They won't Harry. It's our Honeymoon. Remember? And besides. I sleep topless. I always have. Now go ahead. Get undressed. You'll see what i mean with the trust thing."
He slowly, and reluctantly started to get undressed. And he wasn't ashamed. It was amazing. It was if he had known her for years. He layed down in her bed in his boxers, and was about to fall asleep, when Ginny said, "Oh no you don't. I don't care what they say! I put a permanent four hour lock on the door and silenced the room. It is our honeymoon, and we are going to have some fun!" Her eyes dared him to object, disagree, or beg to differ.
He sighed. It was going to be a long night.

Harry woke up late next morning, Ginny in his arms. He blushed when he realized that they were naked. Then he remembered how right it felt being with her, and he stretched, accidentally waking Ginny up. She smiled blarily up at him, saying, "Good morning love. Let's catch a shower, shall we?" She got up and stretched, and walked into the bath room, beckonging warily for him to come with her. He got up smiling, and followed her in.
After they had showered, gotten dressed, they unlocked the door, and made their way down to breakfest. As soon as he sat down at the table, Ron muttered, "Look mate, i'm sorry for overreacting. I just get protective sometimes. I need to realize she isn't my baby sister anymore." Hermione beamed at him and gave him a peck on the check, which made him blush madly.
Hermione straightened and said, "Ok. I thought that if you really wanted to find this place, we should prepare you for it. So i reread the section in my ancient runes book, and planned a day long training regime. We don't have to do anything today. But tomorrow, we have to go to the meeting. You know. For the Order? They have to decide a sucessor. Now that...he..isn't around to do it anymore." Her eyes teared up as she mentioned Dumbledore, but Harry didn't have time to Broad over it as Mrs. Weasley served him a collosal breakfest.
"Thanks much Mrs. Weasley." he said enthusiastically, as he dug into the breakfest.
"No problem dear...but do call me Molly now."
"Alright. Will do Mrs. We- Molly." He grinned and resumed eating.
--
As soon as Harry and Ron had finished, the four made their way to the back yard.
"Alright. First things first. You'll need water while you look for this place. Aquamenti won't cut it. It's what they call temporary water, that is, it really has no nutrition. So your going to have to pull water out of the ground. To do this, just point your wand at the ground and say Aqual Reisa! A sphere of water rose out of the ground as she muttered the incantation.
"You'll need before hand to have summoned or transfigured a goblit. I reccomend summoning. Transfigured one can be a bit tricky." She let the water down in a cup, and then continued.
"Then, using scourgify, purify the water. It can then be drunk." He repeated what she had done, with out any problems, and then motioned for her to return.
"Ok now for food. Your not gonna like it. Your going to have to summon it, and kill it. The cook it. All doable, it's just fairly unpleasent. If you don't have the stomach to perform the Avade Kedavra yet, i recommend Sectumsempra. A quick scourgify and then incendio, and you have dinner."
"Alright... i have a question. The letter said, 'do something primal.' What shoud i do?"
She bit her lip and said in a slow voice, "Now you don't have to take my word for it, but your either going to have to kill something with your hands, eat something alive, or something like that. It's the only thing i could think of doing."
Harry clamped his jaw and nodded.
From there, it was a few hours over view of hexs, jinxs, and spells he knew, didn't know, and hadn't thought of learning. By the time he collapsed in his chair for dinner, he was in a thourouly bad mood. Ginny plopped down in the chair next to him and said, "Don't worry dear, pretty soon we'll be able to be alone, and we'll both relieve some stress."
She grinned mischiviously, and Harry scowled, and then relented, laughing.
Half way through the dinner, Remus stopped by. He took a seat next to Harry, and said, "So. It's true. You did get hitched."
He was half scowling, half smiling.
Harry only nodded.
Then Remus turned more business like and said, "I'm here because two of the nominated leaders of the order live here. Harry. Arthur. You both were nominated by Dumbledore in case he ever died. You both need be present, though i daresay you'd of been there anyways."
They both nodded, and Lupin continued. "The other nominee's are myslef, and Moody. the decision will be made by popular vote. Personally, i think that you, Harry, will get it. I ask though, that you make on of the other nominee's your chief assistant, as you might get to busy this year. I know James did when was in his last year, and i have a feeling that box might be the reason. So. I look forward to seeing you all at the meeting tomorrow. It's in the great hall, at Hogwarts. See you all.
"Well, i'm tired. I think i'll turn in for the night. I have an idea that tomorrow it gonna be very, very long." said Harry, and wearily got up, and slowly made his way upstairs.
As soon as he made to shut the door, Ginny darted in, and locked the door magickly. She grinned as he started towards him, but Harry said, "Aw not right now Gin, i'm dead tired."
She fell back with a child like pout, and Harry's frown twitched into a smile, and he said, "Oh alright, just once, then we need to get to bed!"
And despite Harry's insistence that they get some sleep, it was well past midnight when they finally did.
