Chapter 24: The Honeymoon
After hours of dancing and partying, the five couples all gathered with Albus and Minerva in Albus' office. The well wishers had already left including a very inebriated Arthur and Molly Weasley who lost three children today and gained three more. Dan & Emily Granger escorted the Weasleys back to Potter Manor where they would stay until the new Burrow was built. It was a gift from Harry and Ginny and would be finished by the time the newlyweds returned from their group honeymoon.
"Ok; Albus, Minerva, I hereby place the Order of the Phoenix in your care while we are away. Hestia has a complete set of current orders. Oliver Wood and Viktor Krum are leading the team to find Grindelwald's lost storehouse. If there is any sort of an emergency, contact us immediately if you need to. Fawkes knows how to contact us and we will have out pendants. Only the two of you can contact us. Did I miss anything?"
"Yes Harry, your honeymoon if you don't leave now." Albus said with chuckle.
"Ok. Alright everyone, I have an international portkey, grab hold." Harry said as Ginny, Ron, Hermione, Neville, Luna, Bill, and Fleur all grabbed the metal ring which grew so that everyone could grab it easily.
As Harry was getting to activate the portkey, Albus' fireplace flared and Griphook stepped out, looking somewhat flustered. "Oh good, I caught you before you left. I have your passports and your reservations right here."
"Thank you Griphook. We'll see you all in two weeks." And with that, Harry activated the portkey and the newlywed and their luggage was gone.
"Well Minerva, I guess we should see to our respective paperwork." With a quick kiss, Minerva floated out of the office.

The newlyweds arrived in a beautiful garden surrounded by trees, flowers, and dwarves. "Lord & Lady Gryffindor, ladies, gentlemen, on behalf our tribe, welcome to the Disneyland Resort, the happiest place on earth. My name is Happy; I am the senior dwarf in charge of magical hospitality.
"It has been a long time since we had a Magical Head of State stay here with us, besides of the Secretary of Magic for the United States of America. While you are here, you are with us, your entire group reserves diplomatic immunity and the best service we can offer. "
"Thank you Happy, it is an honor to be here and spend our honeymoon at your resort." Harry said to the dwarf.
"If you will please come this way, I will escort you to the check-in counter." Happy said.
As the group walked, Hermione suddenly had a thought. "Wait! We're at Disneyland! I thought Walt Disney was a muggle! And what do you Head of State? And what do you mean we receive diplomatic immunity."
Happy laughed at Hermione, "Mr. Disney is a High Elf. In fact his family is the only High Elves remaining in this realm. The Walt Disney Corporation is the largest employer of squibs and magical beings in the United States. The Disneyland Resort is a sovereign magical state under Lord Disney himself. Lord Gryffindor, as the Lord Protector of the Realm of Great Britain, is considered to be the Head of State of your country. Because of this fact, you all receive diplomatic immunity for any possible crimes you may commit."
Hermione said the only thing that she could. "But I thought that Mr. Disney died years ago?"
"No. Walt's secret was revealed so he faked his own death. We dwarfs and the goblins have given him various aliases to use over the years. He has requested that you all dine with him tonight."
Bill finally regained his voice. "How have you hidden from the muggles for so many years? Especially with the amount of tourists that come here everyday."
"We do not hide. Since we are a sovereign nation, we needed a way to make money, so Lord Disney built the park over his lands. Whenever someone says that the fell magical here, they aren't kidding." Happy said smiling. Seeing the confused looks on the newlyweds' faces, Happy added. "How else do you think we hardly ever have any bad weather or how everyone seems to be happy when they are here?"
The group walked up to the wizarding check-in counter where they were introduced to Dopey and Sneezy. "Welcome to the Disneyland Resort, I understand that the ten of you are newlyweds correct? Well, we do have a newly refurbished newlywed suite for you. It is laid with a central common room and five individual bedchambers complete with bathrooms." Sneezy said.
"We have taken the liberty of arranging dinner for you this evening. We will be dining with Mr. Disney in his private dinning room above City Hall in Disneyland. Besides that, here are some brochures about how to mingle with muggles, and different things that you can do in the parks. All of your purchases will automatically be billed to your suite, under orders from Mackrack and Griphook.
"They left a note for you, it reads
To Lord & Lady Gryffindor and their fellow newlyweds:
Enjoy your time on your honeymoon; all of your charges are being taken care of by us. Just have fun, relax, and be happy. We will see you all soon.
Sincerely,
Mackrack
Chairman of Gringotts Wizarding Bank
Leader of the Goblin Nation

The rest of the day, since they arrived so early in the morning, the newlyweds went on many different rides. Splash Mountain, Haunted Mansion, (Which was really haunted, including to everyone's delight, Peeves whom spent his summers at Disneyland to recharge) Big Thunder Railroad, Pirates of the Caribbean, Indian Jones and the Temple of the Forbidden Eye, the Jungle Cruise, the Mark Twain River Boat Ride, the sailing ship Columbia, Davey Crockett's Canoeing Expedition, and of course a few hours on Tom Sawyer's Island. The group split up into couples on the individual rides, but always went as a group.
They had lunch at the Bleu Bayou. Everyone enjoyed the Cajun dishes, including Ron, who said this cooking surpassed even his mother's cooking. They spent time in New Orleans Square walking from shop to shop, looking and buying different things.
Each couple decided on sitting for a drawn portrait of themselves. The artist, a squib who knew exactly who Harry was, was very talented. Finally at 6:30pm, the group headed for the Disneyland Railroad Station in New Orleans Square. Witches and Wizards who were staying in the resort could use a special portal by each station that would take them back to their hotel.
At eight o'clock, the group made their way back to Main Street in Disneyland where they were immediately escorted thru the fire house and into the private quarters of the Disney Family. As they reached the dining room, a Crier was heard. "Introducing the Lord Protector of the Realm of Magical Great Britain, Lord Gryffindor, Harry James Potter, Lord of Hogwarts and Head of the Ancient and Most Noble Families of Potter, Azkaban, Black, Flamel, Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, & Slytherin; his wife Lady Gryffindor, Ginevra Molly Potter, Lady of Hogwarts and Matriarch of the Ancient and Most Noble Families of Potter, Azkaban, Black, Flamel, Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, & Slytherin; and their party.
As the doors opened, the suits of armor that lined the walls all stood at attention. As they group entered they saw Walt Disney, looking almost exactly like the pictures they had seen throughout the park, sitting in the middle of the table. To his right sat his wife, to his left was Happy the dwarf.
"On behalf of myself and those whom Disneyland home, I say welcome. Lord Gryffindor and Lady Gryffindor, it is an honor to meet you. I am Walt Disney, Lord of the Noble House of Disney. Please everyone sit down" Said Disney in a happy voice.
Dinner was served shortly after. It was a seven course meal including a beef roast, potatoes, corn, green beans, bread, garden salad and carbonated soft drinks. The soft drink is what interested the newlyweds. Of course Hermione and Harry already knew about soft drinks, but sense Hermione's parents were dentists and Harry lived with the Dursleys, neither had an opportunity to enjoy the fizzy drink very often.
All during dinner, conversation between Lord Disney and his guests continued on pleasantly. They discussed the resort and what areas held magical significance, politics and about England and Voldemort.
After dinner was finished, they group retired to a private viewing area where they were able to watch the Show Fantasmic while enjoying an after dinner cocktail. The show itself was very good, but struck a cord with Harry. It spoke about good vs. evil and how good will always overcome evil, even if it takes hundreds of years.
_________________________________________________________________________________
The following two weeks were a very pleasant time for the newlyweds. Some days, they newlyweds would go out together and explore the resort, while other days individual couples would not be seen at all, but even with the strongest silencing charms they could still be heard.
The enjoyed all the rides and attractions thru the park including the Matterhorn Bob Sleds, Space Mountain, A Small World, Star Tours, Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters, Alice in Wonderland, The Mad Hatter Teacups, Storybook Land Cruise, Casey Jr., and many others.
In Disney's California Adventure, the group really enjoyed The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror, Soaring of California, Monster's Inc. Mike & Scully to the Rescue, Grizzly River Run, and California Screaming.
However the only hiccup happened on the second to last day they were in the park. It was almost dusk and Harry and Ginny were heading to a private dinner at Club 33, the ultra exclusive club that is for members only overlooking New Orleans Square and the River of America River Front. As they were walking from Big Thunder Railroad, Harry saw something that truly pissed him off.
A man about thirty years old was holding his girlfriend or wife by the arm and yelling at her. "YOU FUCKING BITCH!! YOU ARE NOTHING BUT A FUCKING FREAK!!"
Harry, who tired to avoid the couple, stopped and spun around so quick Ginny didn't even notice at first. When she did, she felt his magic flaring, worse then when he fought Voldemort. He stepped over to the man who how had his hand clenched in a fist to hit the woman when Harry suddenly appeared behind him.
"Why don't you pick on someone your own size, asshole?" Harry spoke, in a deathly calm voice.
While this was happening, Ginny made emergency contact with the others, who were apparating to their location.
"Fuck off buddy. I am teaching my whore some GOD DAMN RESPECT!!" the man said. He then turned around to hit the woman, whoever he never got the chance.
Harry reached out, grabbed the man's arm, spun him around punched him square in the jaw, shattering his jaw and dropping him like a stone.
Suddenly everyone in the immediate area froze as two dwarfs, Grumpy and Sleepy Harry found out later on, a squadron of House Elves, and four security guards arrived.
"Lord Gryffindor, thank you for your help. We will take care of it from. If you and your party will please place these glasses on, we can clean up the area." Dopey said.
Once the glasses were in place, long poles rose from the ground and emitted a bright red light. A moment later, everyone unfroze, the man, the women, the security detail, and the glasses were gone. Harry and Ginny went with the others back to their suite to discuss what happened and to get a good night sleep since early the next morning they were heading home.
_________________________________________________________________________________
The next morning, Lord Disney as well as Happy, Dopey, Grumpy, Doc, Bashful, Sleepy, Sneezy all met the newlyweds at the International Portkey Station.
Lord Disney walked over to the group carrying the same ring that the newlyweds had used to come to Disneyland. "Lord Gryffindor, if there is ever any need of us, all you need to do is just call and we will answer.
"I Lord Walt Disney, Lord of the Magical Realm of Disneyland, do hereby pledge the Lord Protector of the Realm of Magical Great Britain support thru strength of commerce and arms until my dying day."
When Disney finished giving his oath, a binding aura surrounded the two Lords for a moment. "Thank you Lord Disney for your support and your hospitality; if you should ever be in need of somewhere to stay in England, no not hesitate to call upon me." Harry said in a formal tone.
After another round of good-byes, the Potters, Weasleys, Lupins, and Longbottoms all vanished from the Portkey station, heading back to England.
