Harry's awareness came back to him slowly, he knew he was lying on something soft and warm, and he knew without a doubt he was safe but he also knew that he was alone. When he opened his eyes he took in the fact that he was in a dimly lit room in the centre of a bed that was large enough to hold many people not just himself. Stretching his tired muscles he sent his mind searching for Ginny even as he took in the fact that her scent was thick on the mattress next to him meaning she had been sleeping here not long ago.

He felt more than saw where she was and realised quickly that she was still in the room with him. Turning he pulled himself up so that he could get a better view of the room and quickly found where she had secreted herself away. To his surprise she wasn't alone.

Rolling to the edge of the bed he let his feet fall to the floor but he didn't move, he simply took in the sight in front of him shocked but with a soft smile. Ginny was curled on a large couch not far from him, but she also shared that couch with three other people, thankfully all of them female. He could see Lucy on the furthest outside and he smiled at the little Tabby knowing she would have wanted to be part of the healing.

The other two women Harry didn't know personally but recognised as some of those that came with Blair. They had their arms wrapped around Ginny; one behind one in front, and Ginny had her head resting against the shoulder of the woman in front. She was smiling softly in her sleep and he knew she was enjoying the feel of so much shifter surrounding her. He was glad that she had finally given into what was her nature, she needed the touch and he knew he wouldn't be enough alone.

Stretching he felt his muscles bunch and unbunch and knew that he had been asleep for some time. His cat prowled in his mind wanting nothing more than to be released and as Harry took in his surroundings he knew he had no reason to not to give in. with a wash of power he let his cat forward and soon he was sat on his hind legs his front paws tucked against his body and his tail wrapped around him twitching slightly. He simply sat for a moment taking in the sight of his mate wrapped around so much shifter and then he was moving needing to be with her.

His body slinked across the floor silently and he easily climbed onto the large couch that the women were sleeping on. Ginny sighed as she felt his fur slide against her bare legs and he moved nuzzling at them until eventually he could push himself between Ginny and the woman she had wrapped herself around in front of her. He settled his body against her and rested his head in her lap as he felt the heat of all of the shifters around him, it felt wonderful.

He felt more than saw as she came awake, her body tensing slightly, though still relaxed. Her hand came down to trail over his head and he nuzzled into the feel of it as she signed happily.

"You're finally awake," she whispered and he simply looked up at her his bright eyes showing his frown.

"Don't give me that look, I've been awake for a few days but you've been out cold. Anna said that was normal but you still scared me," he could tell she was worried so he simply nuzzled a little tighter against him and the turned to take her fingers in his mouth nipping her slightly before he ran his tongue over the small hurt.

With a small laugh Ginny let her head fall back onto the woman's shoulder her eyes never leaving his face as he licked at her hand slowly.

"So he's awake then," he heard a soft voice say suddenly and he turned to see the woman Ginny was leaning against move, and then her hand sunk into his thick fur behind his neck. He stilled at the caress but then her fingers were moving and he found himself unable to stop himself from purring. With a laugh Ginny's fingers joined hers and the two stroke him deeply until he was a bundle of heat and was purring deep in his chest.

"We'll go and let the two of you get reacquainted," the woman said softly pulling herself from Ginny's grasp.

Harry slipped to the floor allowing the women more room and then watched as she slipped to her feet Ginny's hand trailing over her arm as she did and the woman turned to smile at her. Bending the woman whispered to her companion who stirred and opened startling blue eyes. With a smile to Harry and a yawn she pressed a kiss against Ginny's cheek bone and simply climbed to her feet stretching luxuriously before padding on bare feet out of the room. Harry watched as the last woman bent tucked Lucy in against her body, still fast asleep, and then disappeared as well closing the door softly behind them.

For a moment he simply sat, his tail twitching as he watched Ginny stretching, her small tank top rolling up to expose her stomach and he could feel his body twitching with the need to touch her. Instead he kept in his cat form and watched as she rolled until she could stretch her legs along the couch, her toes stretching wide as she smiled happily.

"What?" she asked as she caught his gaze and he simply chuffed at her and she laughed lightly at the sound.

With a jump he was up beside her and then a wash of power skimmed across her skin and there was her Harry his eyes light as they took her in. With a smile she reached out to push her fingers into to his hair and he nuzzled into the touch just as he had done in his cat form.

"Are you alright love," he whispered and she shivered at the feel of his hot breath against the bare skin of her arm.

"I am, I was worried for you mostly, I woke up a few days ago and couldn't wake you," he easily saw the echo of her panic but didn't move or say anything, "Anna was there and she helped. She's explained so much to me while you were sleeping," she paused then frowning a little at him, "why didn't you explain about needing touch?"

He moved then scooping her up into his lap and she buried her head against his throat breathing in his scent and letting it wash over her.

Running his hands over her hair he held her close as her breathing calmed, "I knew you weren't ready, you were still warring with your cat. I had fully intended to introduce you to our world once the war was over," he whispered out his lips pressed to her temple.

She simply nodded and pressed herself against him harder. With a sigh she gave over to the feel of his skin beneath her fingertips and he let her stroke her hand over him, loving the feel of it more than anything.

She nuzzled into the feel of him wanting nothing more than to ball herself in the warmth he provided and live with him like that forever, and as they let their hands wander over each other she gave herself over to the feel of him and the love he gave her.

When the couple finally emerged from their room it was to find themselves in a house that they didn't recognise. Harry simply moved with Ginny, her hand tangled in his, until they found themselves in a small sitting room. Stretched across the couch a small cub sat in his lap was Blair looking much more relaxed than Ginny had ever expected to see him. With a smile as they entered he gestured for the couch opposite him and the couple dropped into it.

"I am glad to see you up and about," he said simply as he stroked along the back of the cub.

Ginny's eyes were all for the cub and Harry laughed lightly as he watched her, feeling the hunger to hold the little thing permeating her mind. Sensing what the woman wanted Blair lifted the cub who mewled at him and carefully handed him to her. For a moment Ginny froze as the cub settled into her lap, but then she couldn't help herself her fingers delved into the warm fur and she stroked him until he was a purring ball in her lap.

"Your little one?" she asked and looking up watched as a shadow passed over Blair's eyes and wondered what she could have said out of turn.

But his smile was back quickly and he simply shook his head, "a war orphan we were lucky to find. Little guy is nearly three, we're not sure what home he'll go to yet, if he was any wizarding family that will claim him. Until then he will stay here at the refugee with us."

The little one nibbled her fingers drawing her attention back to him and the fact that she had stopped stroking him. With a laugh she lifted him and rubbed her face against the soft fur of his belly and the little one purred deeper.

Harry settled back against the couch his hand trailing over Ginny's spine as she enjoyed the little cub but then his eyes turned to Blair and he could read exactly what the other man was thinking. With a sigh Harry trailed his fingers through Ginny's hair not wanting to break this dream of hers yet, not when he wasn't sure if it was something he necessarily had to break. Blair knew of the fact that Harry was seen as more than just the wizarding saviour so he wasn't surprised when Blair kept his tongue even as his eyes watched Ginny's fingers carefully.

The pain that Harry had kept from Ginny was simple, shifters couldn't bread. Two shifters could most definitely never produce a child, and the occurrences of one and another creating a child were few and far between. Harry knew the need Ginny held in her heart, the dream world she had lived in was so strong that he worried this news would tip her back to it, only his promise that he would give her it all had brought her back to him he didn't know what he would do when she found out.

So the two men sat quietly while she played with the cub until he curled in a ball in her lap and promptly feel asleep. With a small laugh she hitched him closer and moved so that she could curl herself against Harry's chest.

"So we're in the refugee," Harry said softly his voice dropping to a whisper that wouldn't disturb the little one.

"We thought it the best place to bring you, things have been moving quickly in the wizarding world. Moles have been flushed from their hide holes, and other dark wizards have been taken into custody. We have been watching all of this closely, and we have been keeping your families well informed of your progress."

Ginny looked up at the mention of her family suddenly realising that she hadn't asked about them once when she woke. Her mind had been all for Harry and the new experiences around her and suddenly she felt guilty.

Blair smiled at her knowing instantly how she was feeling simply from the shift of her shoulders and the small frown that spread across her delicate features.

"Don't worry little one, they are all safe, and they are happy that you are safe. Though I dare say your mother won't hold off much longer from seeing you," she laughed nervously at that and Blair chuckled lightly.

Ginny felt Harry then as he nuzzled against her hair and she couldn't help but feel the familiar heat bloom to life in her stomach and wasn't surprised as his arm came around her locking her against his body as his fingers spread out against her ribs and then across her stomach. She sighed into the touch and closed her eyes letting the two men talk as she breathed in his scent.

When she opened her eyes again she realised that she had dozed off and he had let her, closing her eyes she snuggled back against him. She wondered how long the tiredness was going to last but she didn't complain as she felt Harry shift beside her.

"Wake up love, time to go," his hand trailed over her hair and she looked up at him as she smiled at her softly, "time to see your family," he said before he leaned down to capture her lips.

It was a quick kiss that ended too soon and then he was moving climbing to his feet and waited for her to follow. She looked down at the little one who was still curled in her lap and then carefully lifting him slipped him down into the spot where Harry had been siting. She mewled for a moment before he settled into the warm spot that Harry had left behind and then she could hear his soft kitten snores.

Rising she stood next to Harry looking down at the contented little face as he wrapped his arms around her.

"Come on love I'm sure Molly is going spare, don't worry we can come back here whenever you want."

Before he could whisk her away though she couldn't help herself she leaned down and trailed her fingers over the little nose and muzzle of the cub before she felt the familiar tug in her navel and then they were gone.

They reappeared on the boundary lines of the Burrow and Ginny breathed in the scent of her home letting the familiar grounds settle her mind. She could see that there were people moving around the house, but they seemed unhurried and leisurely and she couldn't feel the sense of urgency that had been there before, things seemed so much calmer.

Ginny tangled herself in against Harry as he began moving suddenly feeling nervous. She wasn't sure what kind of reception she was going to get from her family, unsure what they thought of the power that Harry and she had raised between them. It was as the past through the ward lines that the first person spotted them.

Hermione was sat in the garden taking a moment to herself from the chaos of the Weasley's home. Things had been full on since the war had ended people constantly in and out of the Burrow. It had become and unofficial hub for the light side and Hermione was starting to feel a little claustrophobic from it. So she was hiding in the garden with a cup of tea in her hands as she tried to steady her mind that was buzzing. So it was as she rested that she found herself in the quiet of the garden and looking up saw the two figures approaching. With an inarticulate yell Hermione was up and out of her seat flying at the couple. She practically tackled to two of them and they caught her pulling her into a group hug. She laughed happily as they hugged her and she released the tension that had been in her chest worrying over them. Harry trailed his hand over her hair in a soothing gesture as she wrapped her arms around Ginny's neck and the two women sobbed quietly.

When Hermione detangled herself she could see that Ginny's eyes were sparkling with unshed tears but neither of them said anything, instead Hermione took her hand in hers and gave it a little squeeze.

"I'm so glad to see the both of you, we've all been going spare, but Blair promised you'd be home soon," turning she pulled Ginny with her and with a laugh Harry followed watching Ginny closely.

He could feel that she was still tired even after resting wrapped around shifters and he knew for a fact that it would be a few weeks until she was back to her full strength. He on the other hand felt more powerful than he ever had but he was keeping his magic in check, he didn't want anything accidently happening.

As they reached the little ring garden the back door opened and instantly Ginny was flooded with family members. Harry watched as she disappeared under a sea of red and simply stood back knowing how much her family would need to touch her to make sure she was real. Hermione was the same she kept back having had her time and instead opted to wrap her arms around Harry's waist and hug him instead. Smiling softly Harry returned the hug pressing a kiss to her hair as he did.

"I'm glad to see you to Mione," he whispered and heard the slight hitch in her throat and knew she was crying again.

Thankfully Ron appeared then and with a handshake the two men finally gave up their animosity towards one another. Ron helped mostly by detangling a now full blown crying Hermione and pulled her to sit on the little bench she had been perched on before. Harry watched as Ron gathered her against him pulling her into his lap so she could bury her head against his shoulder and cry in peace.

"Harry!" he looked up just in time as his mother threw herself at him and he managed to catch her just before the impact tipped him and he slipped onto the floor.

"Geez mum give me a chance," but his joke was lost to her she was crying so hard that he knew she couldn't hear him.

He simply held her as she cry whispering soothing nonsense into her ear and stroked his hands over her hair. It took a while of him sat on the damp grass with her face buried against his chest, but she finally calmed down enough to look up at him and he hated seeing the worry and pain in her eyes.

"I'm sorry mum," he whispered and she smiled softly.

"It's alright baby," she let out a strange hiccup sob and Harry couldn't help but smile at her, "I'm just so happy you're here baby. You know how much I worried," and that was it she was off again.

Looking up he searched for help and locked onto Sirius who was simply watching from the side-lines with a wiry grin and with a gesture of his head the man walked forwards. Carefully Sirius slipped his hands around Lily's waist and lifted her she began to protest but he simply lifted her into a hug wrapping his arms around her.

"Come on Lils you're going to drown the poor boy at this rate," he nodded to Harry and then led her back towards to house where he hoped his mother would calm down a little.

He had never seen her so emotional but he could understand it, Lily's greatest fear was that he would die going against Voldemort. He knew that all his life that was the one shadow that she could never get around and now it was over and her son was here healthy and happy, it was a little more than Lily could take in.

Harry just about managed to climb to his feet in time to be tackled into one of Molly's famous hugs. He was a little taken back when she wrapped her arms around his waist and proceeded to squeeze him until it was a fight for him to breathe. When she pulled back he could see tears in her eyes but thankfully she didn't cry on him since he wasn't sure he could handle more women crying on him.

"You are a miracle, a true miracle," she whispered before she detangled herself and ran back to the house.

"Well I think you've won our mother over," Fred said with a laugh as he patted Harry on the back and George simply nodded his agreement.

Things progressed much the same for the next few hours, Ginny was welcomed back into the family and surprising to him Harry was part of it as well. When he finally managed to get a seat in a calm patch of the house he took a deep breath and settled his mind as he watched Ginny approach. She grinned at him as she sank onto his lap and he instantly felt his power pulse. With a gasp she turned to him with wide eyes and he couldn't help but smile.

"Sorry babe I seem to be super charged at the moment," he chuckled as she frowned at him and simply bent to capture her lips.

When he pulled back again she was gasping for breath and he liked seeing the slight pink tinge to her cheeks.

"So what are we going to do now?" she asked and he knew exactly what she was asking.

Wrapping his arms around her waist he pulled her in tightly against his body and buried his face against her neck. She shivered as she felt his teeth graze over her pulse point the heat between them already rising.

"Whatever you want to do Breeze we have the rest of our lives."
