The first funeral on the schedule was for Remus and Tonks. Everyone that Remus taught along with the order and teachers were going attend. "How are we getting there?" Harry asked, looking at Mr. Weasley.
"I figured we would apparate. This will count as Harry's test, and Ginny will come along with me because we have to be there early for Andy. Kingsley is setting up some portkeys for everyone who cannot apparate themselves. Let's go." Once they arrived in Godric's Hollow were the dead were to be buried, Harry walked over to his parents' graves. He realized that there was nothing about Sirius on the schedule. He quickly talked to Andy and she agreed to add Sirius to the funeral as well. Harry made a headstone for him. It read,
"In memory of Sirius Orion Black. Best friend, Beloved god-father, And always a marauder." He added the last line to his father's and Remus's headstones. Remus's read,
"Hear lies Remus John Lupin. A Father, A Friend, The best Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher in years, And always a Marauder."
Andy loved the last line. When Harry asked Teddy what he thought of it he smiled. Once everyone arrived the funeral began. Everyone was confused to why there was a headstone for Sirius. Harry got up and explained. "There is also a memorial for Sirius Black because he was innocent. It was Peter Pettigrew who betrayed my parents. They trusted Peter and thought that no one would think he was there secret keeper. Everyone knew that they would pick Sirius so they went with the unobvious person. They told no one of the switch, not even Dumbledore. He also did not kill Peter. Peter died this year. In Malfoy Manor, Peter cut of his own finger and killed all of those muggles to frame Sirius. Sirius would have rather died than betray my parents." With that the service continued. Once it ended, they all went to Snape's funeral. There were very few people who showed up. Harry decided to add Snape's story to the ones he was going to talk about at the press conference.
Colin's was next. It was short and sad. The last one was Fred's which was planned by George. It was full of stories of pranks that made you laugh and cry at the same time.
After Fred's funeral they went back to Hogwarts to get his things. He was going to live with the Weasleys until after his N.E. .
After he was done he went up to the owlrey where he wrote two letters. The first was to Dudley.
Dear Big D,
I was wondering if you would like to get together for dinner on Wednesday at 6:30. I would like to talk. Remember you will always be family. You can call on me any time.
Love,
Not a waste of space, Harry Potter
P.S reply with this owl
.
The next one was to his aunt and uncle. It read,
Dear, Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon,
I would like to take you to dinner on Wednesday at 6:30. I will take you to Petrus, the number one rated restaurant in London. Send your reply with this owl please.
Sincerely, Harry Potter
He gave them to an owl from the school. He decided he was going to buy three owls; one for himself, one for Ginny, and one for Dudley
So he walked to the gates and apparated to Diagon alley. He walked in to Eeylops Owl Emporium. He picked out a big, sleek, black male owl with hazel eyes for Dudley, a medium brown male owl with chocolate brown eyes for Ginny, and a medium red female owl with emerald eyes. He decided to call her Lily after his mother.
When Harry gave Ginny her owl, her face lit up like a kid on Christmas. "Harry I love him!" she said, almost breaking into tears. "I will name him Erised after your first adventure"
He sent Dudley his owl with a note saying,
Dear Big D,
This owl is for you so you can always get a hold of me. You get to name him but keep the ideas in your head. Once it hears a name you can never change it. A cage will appear in my old bedroom. I had it sent there for you.
Love, Harry

*~~~~~~~~~Time Skip to the next morning~~~~~~~~~~~~*

When Harry woke up the next morning he went down to breakfast. "Morning babe," he said, leaning down and kissing Ginny.
"Morning honey," Ginny replied when Harry pulled away. "We have an announcement to make," she said, looking around the table where her family sat. Ron's face broke into a grin, knowing how his brothers were going to take this. "Harry and I are engaged, we have been since the day after the battle! Look," she said, putting on her ring and showing it to her mother.
Harry looked around the table each of her brothers wore a different look on their face. Ron was amused, George looked happy, Percy looked concerned, Charlie looked mad, and Bill looked confused. "Your thoughts," Harry said.
"I am not surprised one bit! It has been coming since the first time you two met!" said George, laughing.
"You better not hurt her," said Percy.
"I would never," Harry replied.
"You are what?!" Charlie exclaimed. "She's not even seventeen yet! "
"Charlie, I will be seventeen in two months," Ginny said
"I did not know you two were dating," Bill said.
"We are happy for you, and no more of this Mr. and Mrs. stuff, call us mum and dad," Molly said, now very excited.
