A/N: Not a very monumental chapter, but still it has Jack annoyinng the pilot and Ron and Harry being...Ron and Harry :)

"I'm actually quite happy about this." Ginny grinned at Harry.

"Yeah, I'm sure you are." He laughed, putting his last box in the back of his SUV.

Ginny was sitting on the front steps beside Orion. They had both been up most of the night packing up the house. Harry had managed to get everything he needed and decided to return for the rest in a few weeks.

"Wonder what Mum and Dad are going to say." She took a sip of her coffee, watching Harry march back into the house to check on everything one last time.

"Well, we aren't telling them right away." He locked the door and patted Orion on the head.

"Really?"

"Well, I wasn't planning to."

He pulled his bright green bandana out of his pocket, tying it around his head. He opened the back door of the car, and let Orion jump in.

"I'll warn you my brothers do regular early morning checks of my flat."

"Oh, well whatever are they going to do when they discover that their baby sister doesn't even live there anymore? It's a tragedy!" He mocked, driving away from his house for the last time.

"Oh, so I'm definitely moving in with you? Isn't it a bit sudden?"

"Love, it's four years in the making, deal with it." This caused Ginny to laugh.

"I am amazed we managed to fit everything in the car."

"That's what six dozen shrinking charms can do."

"That's pathetic." Ginny shook her head.

Harry shrugged, turning the radio on for the remainder of their drive to the camp.

"Sky! Their center chaser broke his leg!" Jack leaped into Sky's arms the moment he got out of the car.

"That's great Jack, now get off of me, before my girlfriend gets the wrong impression." Sky muttered, patting his friend's back.

"Oh, I already knew you were gay, sweetie." Ginny smirked into her coffee.

"Oh, I'm sure." He petted Orion, who was sticking his head out the open window.

"Sky, Wilkins, Weasley, come get your tickets." Mr. Joyce walked up to them, Ron and Hermione following him. Ron's eyes were empty and sunken, as though he hadn't slept much.

"Now, you three have the private jet all to yourselves, so try not to get too excited." Mr. Joyce told them, handing out the tickets.

"Of course, Sir." Sky grinned.

"How come we don't use portkeys?" Jack asked.

"Kipling is big on secrecy and he finds that by going the muggle route it often helps."

"Of course." Sky scoffed.

"Eleven hours in the sky. Sky that excites you, I'm sure." Jack joked.

"I bet." Ron cracked a slight smile; Harry felt a wide smile form on his face.

"Now, there will be a quick briefing at their facility. Then you have until Monday to get settled in your homes. I assume you're all covered?"

"Sky has a family manor. I'm crashing there 'til my flat in London is finished." Jack told his boss.

"And I already have a flat, plus my family lives in England." Mr. Joyce nodded at Ron.

"All right, then everybody's covered. I'm so proud of you guys, especially you Sky. I'll be there for as many of the games as I can."

"Thanks, Mr. Joyce."

"It's Alan now, to all of you." He shook their hands before walking away with a sad smile.

"I'm gunna miss him." Jack sighed.

"Yeah, so Jack, how did you manage to get on England's team? You are American."

"Don't know, and don't care." Jack shrugged.

"Well, let's get to the airport. Ginny, since you and Hermione's flight is a few hours after ours, I'll just pick you up in England, okay?"

"All right. Hermione and I are just going to hang around here until our own flights."

"Okay." Sky gave her long kiss before walking back to his car. "I love you."

"I love you too." She smiled.

Jack climbed into the front seat beside sky. "Where's your stuff?"

Jack pulled out a tiny suitcase from his pocket. "Nice. I'm going to be a daredevil and have three suitcases."

Jack laughed, putting his luggage away. "You want to ride with us, Ron?" Sky asked.

"Sure." Ron waved his wand at the large bag beside him, shrinking it to pocket-sized before kissing Hermione and hugging Ginny.

"See you all in London." Jack waved as Ron climbed in beside Orion.

"That's Orion, by the way." Sky pointed to the dog.

"Sirius?" He recognized Sirius's middle name.

"Yep." Harry laughed; maybe Ron had finished growing up while he was gone. In fact, Harry was sure that he had.

***

"Why couldn't we have taken a portkey?" Jack groaned.

They had all enjoyed the jet for the first five hours or so, but now they were simply bored and irritated with each other.

"Security purposes." Harry answered, his nose in a book for his own entertainment.

"Ugh. I'm gonna go bug the pilot." Jack stood up and left Ron and Harry to sit across from each other alone.

"This is so dull." Ron sighed, staring out the window.

"We handled the train rides to Hogwarts." Harry pointed out.

"Yes, but it's different when you're on a train with your entire school."

"Very true." Harry agreed.

"So, Ginny's going to live with you?" He asked him slowly.

"Yeah, I asked her to and she said yes."

"She loves you, you know." Ron was still staring out the window, and Harry still had his eyes glued to his book.

"I love her too."

"Then, I'm happy for you two."

"Thanks, mate."

They were both silent for a few moments, Ron drawing circles on the window with his finger.

"Hermione told me why you left, and I understand, I think."

"Thanks, Ron." Harry looked up from his book at his friend, who nodded.

"Well, I just got kicked out by the pilot." Jack fell into his seat, agitated.

Harry snorted, returning to his book.

***

"Think you'll stop by The Burrow soon?" Ron asked as Harry turned his car on. Jack was speeding off in his rental and Harry had had one of his House Elves discreetly leave his viper in the airport parking lot.

"It's unavoidable." Harry sighed, making Ron laugh slightly.

"All right. I'll have to stop by the manor soon."

"I'll change the wards for you and Hermione."

"Okay, see ya, Harry."

Harry whipped out of the parking lot, knowing he'd have to catch up with Jack, who had managed at least a dozen speeding tickets in the time Harry had known him.

He caught up with him quickly and they drove side by side out of London, into the country side, where Harry did a quick spell on Jack's car, speeding the trip up.

And then for the first time in years, he pulled up to Potter Manor.

A/N: I have the next two chapters done, and I have to say chapter ten's my favorite so far :)
