A/N: This chapter was up pretty quick don't you think? It's a bit on the longer side and quite a bit of fluff, but fluff can be good sometimes. I need some review love though!! I'll try to have the 6th chapter up before school starts Monday, but after that I can't guarantee anything. enjoy! =]

"What am I going to tell your mum?" Harry asked.

"Tell her what you're doing and why you're doing it."

Harry groaned, "I haven't even told Ron and Hermione."

"You might want to do that."

Harry sighed and stood up from where he was sitting outside with Ginny.

"I'll go now." He hated keeping things from his two best friends.

He found them in Ron's room. Looking at them he could tell they were back together. Hermione sat next to Ron, Ron's arm around her. She looked happy, which quickly turned to surprise as Harry walked in.

"Hey mate!" Ron said.

"Hey Harry! How're you and Ginny?"

"We're doing great." Harry smiled at that and paused. It was now or never. "Well I have something to tell you guys." He looked a little nervous. Hermione nodded for him to continue and Ron just looked at him waiting for the news.

"I'm getting my own place in London."

Hermione looked taken aback.

"Re-really Harry? When?"

"Good for you mate!" Ron said much to Harry's surprise.

"Well I'm moving tomorrow. I'm going to sign the contract today."

"So soon?" Hermione looked stressed. "But, but what are we going to do? We've always been together." She looked sad as she folded and refolded her hands in her lap. "I don't know what to say. I guess Ginny knows?"

"Yeah, she helped me pick the place out."

"Why didn't you say anything?" Hermione demanded.

"Well, we only just picked it out. I haven't known I was going to move out for very long mind you," he said.

"Oh, well I guess I just figured we'd be first to know," she said quietly.

Harry didn't know what to say so he turned and left. As he looked over his shoulder he saw Ron whispering into Hermione's ear and hugging her. He didn't know what had happened to all of them. Hermione was right, they used to tell each other everything first thing. It seemed like things were different now. Harry told himself it was because everyone was still grieving, but he had a feeling that it was something else.

Since the funerals were over Andromeda Tonks and Teddy left that afternoon. Though she was still rather shaken from the death of her daughter and son in law she thanked everyone and told them all to stop by whenever. Harry held Teddy in his arms again, it just as uncomfortable as before. She told him it just takes time and Harry nodded, a little disappointed that he didn't get any better at it from last time.

During lunch Ginny nudged Harry's arm and gave him a look. He sighed.

"Okay well I have some news," he said loudly.

Everyone looked up expectantly. Hermione looked away.

"I'm, urm, I'm going to move out."

"Wow Harry. That's great," Fleur said. Everyone else looked to see Mrs. Weasley's reaction.

"Really dear? And when did you decide this?"

"Just recently," he said quickly. "I've finished school and I think it's time I get a place of my own. I love it here at the burrow, but I'm not a Weasley even though I consider you my family.

"Well you're a Weasley to me. You're always welcome to stay here."

"Thank you Mrs. Weasley, but I just think it's time I have my own place."

She nodded even though she was obviously upset.

"Whatever you thinks' best," she murmured even though Harry knew she disagreed with him.

"Well, if you want we could all, uh go see the place before I sign the contract," Harry said trying to brighten the mood.

"I'd love to see it mate," Ron said joining the conversation. Fleur was nodding her head in agreement and Bill had already stood up. It was only Mrs. Weasley and Hermione that didn't seem too happy to see the place.

"Oh all right, let's go already," Mrs. Weasley said cracking and finally standing up. The group grinned and Harry called Mousse over and sent him off with a letter to request a viewing of the apartment.

Ginny smiled and she saw the owl returning. She was sure that if anyone else but the famous Harry Potter had been requesting a viewing that she wouldn't have been so quick to respond.

They all grasped Harry's arm as he was the only one that could apparate that knew where the place was. Elizabeth Hone was waiting outside the apartment. She looked surprised as the large group arrived.

"Well, I didn't know you would be bringing such a group," She said pushing up her hair a little. "It's nice to meet you all. I'm Elizabeth Hone."

"This is urm Arthur and Molly Weasley," Harry said pointing to the red headed couple now standing next to each other. "Fleur and Bill Weasley," he gestured. "Percy, George, Ron, and Charlie Weasley. And then this is Hermione Granger, and you've met Ginny Weasley," Harry finished, not realizing how large the group was until he had to introduce them all.

"Quite a large family," she said before turning and striding into the building.

After the tour Mrs. Weasley insisted on looking over the contract before Harry signed it. Fleur and Bill apparated back to the burrow to pack their stuff up and head back to their house. Percy too was leaving to go back to his apartment. He had work, though he said he would most definitely keep in touch. Charlie was returning to Romania, and against his mum's will George was going back to his flat above the shop. That had been quite a fight. Mrs. Weasley said she needed him to stay at the burrow for a bit longer, but George was set on getting back to his life. It had lasted for a while, ending when George said Fred would want him to go back to the shop.

Ginny, Ron, Hermione and Mr. Weasley stood around while Mrs. Weasley took the contract and thoroughly examined it before handing it to Harry.

"I guess it's all right," she said sighing.

"That you Mrs. Weasley," Harry said taking the quill Elizabeth handed him and neatly signing his name at the bottom.

"The place is yours Harry. If you need anything feel free to contact me," She said smiling and holding out his key. He gingerly took it and thanked her. Ginny threw herself into Harry's arms.

"Congratulations!" She said. "Do we get to go shopping now? I'm sure between Hermione and me we should be able to get this place looking pretty dandy."

There was a throat clear from behind and Ginny looked confused for a moment. Then it clicked on her face. "Of course it'll look even better with mum's help."

"What am I? Chop liver?" Ron asked.

"Ron, you're no help with this kind of stuff," Ginny said.

"She's right love," Mrs. Weasley said.

"There's plenty of other stuff you're good at though," Hermione hurriedly told him before he got upset.

Ron scowled, but quickly got over it as the topic moved away from him and towards the theme of the apartment. The girls chatted, tossing ideas back and forth while Harry and Ron began to talk about quidditch. Mr. Weasley had gotten an owl asking him to come into work.

"What do you think Harry?" Hermione asked.

"About what?"

"About the theme for your apartment."

"What about it?"

"Have you been listening at all?"

"No, not really."

"Bloody hell Harry," Ginny said.

"Sorry, but décor isn't really my thing. Do whatever. As long as it's not pink then I'm good."

Ginny mumbled something, but then went back to discussing colors. Meanwhile Harry and Ron stepped outside. Ron wanted to go get a drink, but Harry wouldn't be able to come along. He wasn't yet eighteen. They returned to the burrow while the girls went shopping and took out their brooms.

"It's been a while since we've played mate," Ron said.

"Yeah, but it feels so natural still," Harry said. They tossed apples back and forth and chased each other through the garden. It felt quite childish to both of them, but they enjoyed it all the same.

"How's it going with Hermione?"

"We were in a bit of a row, but we made up and we're doing pretty well. I love her, I do," Ron said. He looked up at the sky for a moment lost in thought. "She's taking all these deaths pretty hard though. She been crying a lot about everything and I don't know what to do."

"I dunno. Ginny seems to be okay. She got really upset at the funerals, but that was to be expected."

"So I guess you two are back together are you?" Ron asked.

"Yeah, I love her. She's great, more than anything I could ever ask for."

"What are you going to do when school starts?"

"We haven't really talked about it. I guess I'll go visit her when she goes to Hogsmeade, but other than that it'll be hard. I want her to finish school though, even though we didn't."

Ron nodded and swayed. His broom tipped on him and he fell off. Harry broke out in laughter and even Ron couldn't help but laugh. It was pretty silly. They stored their brooms in the broom shed and they went upstairs to pack Harry's things. It was a lot easier now that so many people had left, taking their stuff with them. Harry found books and robes that he had left behind when they went on their journey for the horcruxes. Storing it all they filled the trunk to the brim with books and clothes. Harry locked Mousse up in his cage and they awaited the arrival of the girls.

Ron and Harry went back outside to fly along the countryside while they were waiting. Throwing apples as far as they could the other tried to catch it. Quidditch wasn't nearly as fun with only two people. They ended up eating the apples out of starvation and boredom.

Long past sundown Ginny, Hermione, and Mrs. Weasley appeared, exhausted, but happy.

"We have something to show you," Ginny said, excited filling her voice. "Do you have your stuff packed?"

"Yep in the living room," he said. Mrs. Weasley called it with her wand and they apparated back to the apartment without even a goodbye.

"I guess they'll be back," Harry said dryly.

"Yeah I guess, they've been gone for bloody hours," Ron complained. He was right. The stars were out now, lighting up the pitch black sky. Harry's thoughts were interrupted as Ginny grabbed his hand and pulled him to his feet.

"Ready?" She beamed.

He nodded. Moments after apparating, Ginny blindfolded him. She waited for Ron, Mrs. Weasley, and Hermione to arrive. Harry heard voices and then Ginny's was loudest.

"One! Two! Three!" She yelled pulling off the blindfold.
