AN: Sorry for the delay but I'm very lazy and I've got loads of college work and lazyness to be getting on with.

I've got around 1000 words of the next chapter written so far but it may take a while with college and lazyness to deal with.

Thank you for your great reviews helbaffy, Vilhelmina Lupin, ReadingRed, Jd Midnight, I am the lamb, ginevrapulliza and codyesh2

Once they reached the surface, Harry was amazed to note that the meeting and trip to the vault had only taken one and a half hours.

They walked over to the goblin currency exchange desk and Harry exchanged some of the galleons he had taken from the vault for pounds.

"Time for lunch soon, I think," said Harry, cheering up slightly and draping his arm around Ginny. "I wonder where those muggle-borns have could have gotten to," Harry said as he looked around the busy entrance hall of Gringotts.

He noticed the muggles almost immediately, as most other people were wearing robes, and made his way quickly over to them.

"Hello again," he greeted them. Have you all got some galleons?"

"Er… yes," said one of the men. "Y-Yes the Goblins were very helpful, thank you."

"Do you all want to get some lunch before we start shopping? It's on me." There was a general consensus for the idea so Harry with a smile on his face and Ginny by his side called, "follow me then."

They entered the wizarding restaurant and Harry had the waiter show them to two large tables near the windows so that they could look out at the busy streets beyond

"We spoke to the g-goblins and they were able to arrange scholarship funding for our children," said the man who he had spoken with earlier. "They even set up a small vault for the money and any that we can spare to add ourselves of course."

"It was strange because the name of the scholarship fund was 'The James, Lily and Harry Potter Memorial Fund'. We knew a James and Lily Potter who had a son called Harry, didn't we Jack," said his wife, "but they disappeared some time around 1980. We wondered if you knew anything about them or what happened to them. The people we knew lived in the castle on top of Carn Brea."

To say that Harry was flabbergasted would be an understatement of the greatest magnitude. "Um... Er... W- Er How did you know them exactly?" Harry managed to stutter out.

"Well they were quite popular in the local community and very generous to local organizations and charities. They helped us out when I was laid off from South Crofty and rented us one of their houses for a reasonable rate. Lily and Jenny even became very good friends."

"They were the nicest couple imaginable."

"They were my parents," Harry finally admitted. "I'm Harry Potter," he said while smiling weakly. "They were killed by a dark wizard in 1981 and I was shipped off to live with relatives in Surrey."

"Oh! We're so sorry. We didn't know," said an obviously upset and shocked Jenny.

"Don't worry about it," Harry said comfortingly. "You didn't know. Today has been very busy and we've been finding out a lot that I didn't know about my family, thank you for sharing this with me."

They finished their lunch and Harry and Ginny showed everyone around Diagon Alley, taking them to all the best places to buy their school items.

Once they had finished, they said their goodbyes and went their separate ways.

Harry, having withdrawn a large amount of both wizarding and muggle money, decided on taking Ginny shopping in muggle London.

A couple of hours later a weary looking Harry and an almost bouncing Ginny apparated to the Burrow, weighed down by numerous packages and parcels.

Coming through the door into the kitchen Harry immediately collapsed onto a chair. "That's the last time I take you shopping Gin," Harry said breathlessly.

"I can't help it if I'm too expensive for you," Ginny said with a sly wink.

"It's not that, Ginny, I would gladly give you everything that I have."

"And how do you plan on doing that Mr. Potter?" Ginny asked as she sat down in the chair across from him.

Harry made a very quick decision in that moment and little did he know what effects this decision of his would cause to the world

"Ginny, I wish that we could have got together sooner but over the past two years I have often thought of you as my precious Golden Snitch, will you allow me to catch you," Harry said getting down on one knee. "W-Will you marry me?" with that he pulled a small box from behind his back. He opened it to reveal the engagement ring he had taken from his mother's Gringotts vault, a pure gold band with a large green emerald cabochon and two smaller ruby cabochon stones set in it.

Ginny sat there speechless for a moment before a grin overcame her shocked look. "Only on one condition Mr. Potter," with a look of mischievousness in her eye.

"And what, pray tell, is that Miss Weasley?" Harry asked slightly worried at the look on his girlfriend's face. He'd seen that look before on Fred and George's face when planning a particularly nasty prank.

"My only condition is that you allow me to think of you as either my Quaffle or my Broomstick. The choice is up to you." Ginny winked seductively at him. "Other than that I have no problem with becoming the future Mrs. Potter."

Harry thought for a moment about his choices. He thought about her throwing him about as a quaffle and then he blushed slightly as his thoughts strayed to Ginny riding him. "Your Broomstick awaits, fair lady," he said, getting up and giving a small theatrical bow before going back on one knee and holding out the ring to her. "Will you marry me Ginny?"

"Yes! Of course I'll marry you," she exclaimed with tears in her eyes, almost grinning at him. Ginny grabbed him by his head and pulled him in for a passionate kiss.

Surfacing, Harry took the ring out of its box and slipped it onto her finger. There was a blinding flash of green and red light that emanated from the ring, they watched as it swirled around them, changing to a golden fire. There was a trill of phoenix song and the fire consumed them.

At that moment, in the smallest bedroom of 4 Privet Drive, in the Surrey town of Little Whinging, a fourteen year old boy woke up from a very strange dream.
