AN: Again I do not own any thing to do with Harry Potter no matter how much I wish I did. I hope you like this chapter! :)
The next morning when Ginny woke up she saw that Harry was already out of bed and downstairs. Ginny quickly had a shower then got dressed before checking Teddy's room to make sure he was still asleep. Ginny went into the kitchen excepting to see Harry reading the paper and eating breakfast but that wasn't the scene she was greeted with.
Harry was sitting at the kitchen table with what looked to be hundreds of papers all over the table. Harry sat at the head of the table reading a paper with his glasses falling down his nose. Ginny was just standing in the doorway watching Harry as he pushed his glasses up thinking he looked so handsome and wanted nothing more than to kiss him when she remember she could. Leaving her post she went behind Harry to do just that.
"Morning love," Ginny said after they broke apart.
"Do you know how handsome you look right now?" Ginny said.
"I must look very good to get such a kiss good morning." Harry said with his trade mark grin.
"And good morning sweetie," Harry said giving her a quick peak on the lips.
"So what are you doing?" Ginny asked gesturing at the papers.
"It's the first," Harry said as if that explained everything.
"Harry I know what day it is; what does the day have to do with anything?" Ginny asked as she picked up a piece of paper.
"Oh right, sorry," Harry said sheepishly.
"The first of every month the Goblins send me a file on my account. Since I have so many investments in both the magic and muggle world I want to see where I am making money or losing it. I do have a goblin account manger so he takes care of everything and I just tell him where to send money and when to sell or buy shares." Harry said not taking his eyes off the paper.
"You made all these investments?" Ginny asked.
"No most are from other Potters although I have made a fair few investments, and all of them are very good if I do say so myself." Harry said.
"So which ones did you make?" Ginny asked pointing at the papers.
Harry without looking up pulled out a bunch of papers and gave them to Ginny. At the top of the file it had a total sum of 100,000 Gallons Ginny had no idea Harry was that rich. "Harry you have 100,000 Gallons in your vault." Ginny said shocked.
"What? No I have a lot more that is just the income I got this month from those investments." Harry said casually.
Ginny seeing that Harry was too busy to really talk just looked at the investments he made. Harry it seems owns most of the new stores that have come out in the past few years. Theirs Lavender's clothing store, the new ice cream shop, a candy shop, a bar, the new quidditch stadium, Weasley's Wizarding Wheezes, an orphanage... wait what was that last one Ginny thought going back to the three words in black ink.
Weasley's Wizarding Wheezes. That was the name of her brother's shop, whenever anyone asked where they got their start up funs it was always the same answer; we don't know who it is one day the globins had a meeting with us and told us that we know had a private investor. This meant that Harry was their private investor.
"So Harry what you're saying, is that for all of these places you gave them their start up funds. For how much and what do you get back?" Ginny questioned.
"Well normally I give about 5,000 gallons and in return they give me a partnership. So for every gallon they make I get a certain percent of it." Harry explained as he crossed something out.
"Well how much do you take?" Ginny asked not knowing if she could live with the thought of Harry ripping off her brothers.
"At the most 30% but normally I only ask for 15%. I think that if they work hard to make the stuff I shouldn't be taking it all away." Harry said finally looking up.
'Now I am wondering why you want to know so much about my investments." Harry questioned Ginny, who had the decency to blush.
"I just wanted to make sure you weren't taking advantage of my brothers."Ginny said.
"Your brothers were really hard to bargain with. They wanted to give me 33% but I told them that I wanted 15% finally we agreed that I would get 20% and be allowed to get anything I/ my family wants for free." Harry said with a smile.
"So do you get a lot of things for free?" Ginny asked.
"Nope nothing so far, I always go in as Harry Potter and they don't think I'm the investor but I do get 50% off." Harry said.
"What the hell that is more than the family discount." Ginny said angrily. Harry just laughed at Ginny.
"So when will you be telling them that you are the investor?" Ginny asked.
"I don't know why I should I'm just the investor." Harry said pulling Ginny down onto his lap.
"I'll tell you why, because every year at Christmas, Thanksgiving, and any other holiday the twins always make a toast to you and wish you a good year. They only want to meet you so they can thank you. You might not realize this but you made their dreams come true." Ginny said softly as she turned towards them.
"And I want to thank you for helping my brothers fulfill their dreams." Ginny said just before she was kissing him.
"I guess I could tell them." Harry said once they broke apart. Giggling Ginny got off Harry's lap and started making breakfast.
"So where are the elves?" Ginny asked as she flipped the bacon.
"All of them get the 1st and 15th off. It was part of the deal." Harry said as he got back to his papers.
"When will everyone be down?" Ginny asked.
"Hermione came down about an hour before you and brought some food upstairs. So I am guessing that is where Ron are and Teddy should be up soon." Harry informed Ginny.
"Speaking of Hermione I wanted to know if that I have decided that I want her to be my Maid of Honour." Ginny said surprising Harry.
"Really, I mean that is great I know she would be honoured. But I thought you would have picked Luna." Harry said.
"I love Luna but Hermione and I have become really close, I mean we do work at the same place. I just think that in these short weeks I have become closer to her than even Luna after all these years." Ginny explained.
"You know how I was going to ask Ron to be my Best Man?" At Ginny's nod Harry continued.
"Well he agreed." Harry said with a slight smile on his face.
"That's great Harry I knew he would. Ron never really had any good friends growing up. It's nice to know he has you." Ginny said sweetly.
"Of course he has me; he also has Hermione and you." Harry said.
Ginny just smiled and went back to making breakfast. While Harry sat at the kitchen table with a quill and looked over his investments. About 15 minutes later a sleepily Teddy walked into the kitchen rubbing his eyes.
"Morning Teddy," Harry said looking up from his papers.
All Harry got back was a mumbled morning. "Good morning Teddy Bear. Would you like to help me with the making of pancakes?" Ginny asked.
"No" Teddy said through a yawn.
"No what," Harry said without looking up.
"No thank you mom." Teddy said as he sat down at the table.
"Daddy, when will you be done?" Teddy asked Harry.
"I'll be busy all day Ted, is there something you want to do?" Harry said.
"Can Vicky come over?" Teddy asked Harry.
"After you eat your breakfast I'll floo Fleur it see if it is ok." Ginny said as she put Teddy's breakfast in front of him.
"Thanks Gin," Harry said.
"It's no problem love, besides you look busy." Ginny said with a slight smirk.
While this was going on Teddy was eating his breakfast so fast that if he changed his hair red it would look like a mini Ron. "Teddy, eat slower. You will choke." Ginny said sternly when she saw how fast Teddy was eating his food.
Once Teddy finished his breakfast he and Ginny went into the floo room to see if it was ok for Vicky to come over to play. When Ginny invited Fleur and Vicky over Fleur happily agreed and told her they would be there at 11:00. As soon as Ginny told Teddy that Vicky was coming over he ran upstairs to get ready for the play date.
"So both Fleur and Vicky are coming over." Ginny informed Harry.
"That's nice," Harry said not really listening.
"Harry did you even hear what I said?" Ginny asked; she hated it when people didn't listen to her.
"Sorry Gin, I can be a real pain when I'm doing my investment stuff. I am sure Teddy will have a great time with Vicky and if you want once Fleur gets here we can talk wedding details. Why don't you see if your mom is available as well?" Harry added as an afterthought.
"That's a great idea Harry. I have to say I am very excited to be planning a wedding." Ginny whispered into his ear.
"Are you?" Harry asked as he turned around so he was facing her.
"Harry are you sure you want to go through with this?" Ginny asked quietly once they were only an inch apart.
Instead of answering Harry pulled Ginny into a searing kiss in which he put all his love for her into the kiss. If Ginny wasn't sure before she was now completely sure that Harry loved her; she had no idea he loved her that much. Harry and Ginny only broke apart when the need for oxygen was too much for them.
"I guess that answers that." Ginny said breathlessly.
Harry slowly started trailing kisses down Ginny's neck until Ginny couldn't take it anymore and roughly brought Harry into another searing kiss. "God Gin," Harry moaned before he kissed her again.
"Oh don't mind me," said a voice from behind them.
Ginny and Harry broke apart and when Ginny saw who it was she turned red as a beet and fell off of Harry's lap.
"I...I ...I...um..." Was all Ginny got out.
"Hey Minerva..." Harry said sheepishly as he rubbed the back of his neck.
"Well, Harry Miss. Weasley it seems I came in at a bad time, should I come back at a later time?" Minerva McGonagall said trying not to laugh at the two of her former students.
"No, no, it's fine. I guess you got my letter." Harry said.
"Morning Professor," Ginny said weakly as Harry helped her off the floor.
"That I did Harry. I was going to owl you but thought I hadn't seen you, Teddy, or Hermione in awhile as I would drop by. From now on I shall owl fist so we don't find ourselves in this situation again." Professor McGonagall said with a slight smile.
"Ya Teddy is busy getting ready for a play date I don't think he will be down for awhile. Would you like something to eat, tea?" Harry offered.
"Tea would be nice. Thank you Harry." Professor McGonagall said, as Ginny jumped up to get her some tea.
"Here you are Professor." Ginny said handing McGonagall the tea
"Thank you. Miss. Weasley I haven't been your professor in awhile I think it is time you call me Minerva." McGonagall said.
"Ok but only if you call me Ginny, Miss. Weasley makes me feel in trouble." Ginny said with a smile, her blush had finally disappeared.
"Well Harry, Ginny" McGonagall gave Ginny a small smile, "I am here to tell you that you can have your wedding at Hogwarts on the 21st of August. Hogwarts would be delighted to have you." Professor McGonagall told them happily.
"Really?" Ginny questioned excitedly, at Professor McGonagall's nod Ginny gave her a bone crushing hug.
"Oh thank you so much Pro- Minerva." Ginny said once she let Professor McGonagall go.
"What have you decided for the wedding?" Professor McGonagall asked once Ginny had calmed down.
"The date and where it is being held." Harry said smirking.
"It seems that the two of you have some work to do. Please let me know if I can help. It was nice seeing the both of you. If you have time, do bring Teddy over all the teachers would love to see him." Professor McGonagall said and gave both of them hugs before leaving.
"I cannot believe Professor McGonagall asked me to call her Minerva and saw us snogging." Ginny said punching Harry in the shoulder because he was laughing.
"This isn't funny Harry I have never been so embarrassed in my life." Ginny hissed.
"I'm sure you have, I know I have." At Ginny raised eyebrow harry continued. "What Teddy likes getting me in very awkward situations." Harry said as he looked at all the papers he had to go over.
"I really hate doing this." Harry said with a groan as he realised how much work he still had to do.
"I am sure you will get it done soon. I am going to help Teddy and if you want I can show Fleur around when they get here. Maybe she will help with the wedding plans, I could owl mom as well, and I can just get Hermione out of bed." Ginny said speaking more to her now. Harry just decided to leave Ginny to her plans and go back to his investments.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
It was now 12:00 and Ginny and Hermione had just finished giving Fleur and Mrs. Weasley a brief tour of Potter Manor.
"It iz beautiful 'inny you are so lucky." Fleur said as she looked at the house in awe.
"I am so happy for you dear. This place is lovely." Mrs. Weasley said as she looked around.
"So how much room are we going to need?" Hermione asked Mrs. Weasley. In answer to Hermione's question she pulled out looked like thousand of shrunken papers and books from her purse.
"Ok a lot apparently," Hermione said with a chuckle.
"I was thinking the sitting room but I don't think the table is big enough so how about the dining room?"Hermione asked everyone.
When everyone agreed Hermione and Ginny lead the way. Ginny had a house elf increase the size of the table to fit 50 so all of the papers, magazines, samples, advertisements and such could fit in the table.
"First thing first do we have Hogwarts confirmed?" Mrs. Weasley asked Ginny.
"Ya, Pro- Minerva came over this morning to tell us that we can use Hogwarts on August 21st." Ginny answered with a slight blush as she remembered this morning.
Hermione noticed this and decided she would ask Ginny about that once they were alone. "Perfect now we need to pick a colour scheme, the design, a band, the wedding party, the flowers, the invitations," and the list just kept getting longer and longer until Hermione decided to write it all down so they could tell what needed to be done. It wasn't until 2 when Harry asked if they wanted anything to eat that they took a break from the planning.
At the moment they were trying to make a guest list but because of the fact Harry was famous they were not sure who to invite. Fleur also brought up the fact about reporters, which both Harry and Ginny didn't want, might want to be there or they would sneaking in.
Mrs. Weasley also started a countdown until the big day. In 143 days she Ginny would be married to the man of her dreams but she also knew that those 142 days leading to the big day would be hell; her mom was already getting annoying.
After lunch Ginny asked Hermione for a private word. "What's wrong?" Hermione asked concerned for her friend.
Hermione didn't have any friends before Hogwarts she normally kept to herself and the library. Even after she got to Hogwarts she only really made one friend: Harry. Ever since Hermione had meet Ginny she had liked her, it was nice having a friend who was a girl and someone she could talk to about things she would never talk to Harry about.
"Well Hermione you see...umm... it's just that I don't have many friends... I mean I have Luna but I feel more comfortable with you ... know what I mean... It's not like Luna it's nice because she is." At this point Ginny realized she was rambling and took a deep calming breath.
"What I am trying to ask you is if you would be my maid of honour?" Ginny asked looking at Hermione hopefully.
Hermione was in shock Ginny was asking her to be her maid of honour. "I would love to, thank you so much." Hermione said as she pulled Ginny in for a big hug.
When they pulled away both Ginny and Hermione had happy tears in their eyes. "Sorry I'm never like this." Ginny said as she quickly wiped the tears threatening to fall.
Hermione just pulled Ginny into another hug. After they fixed themselves up they went back into the kitchen where it looked like Ron had joined the group.
"Hey bro nice to see you up," Ginny said with a smirk.
"Aren't you supposed to be at work?" Hermione asked after giving Ron a welcome kiss.
"Someone let loose a box full of angry bludgers they gave us the rest of the day off." Ron said as he sat down and grabbed an extra sandwich.
"Uncle Ron do you want to play with Vicky and me?" Teddy asked from his place at the island.
"But only after both you and Vicky have finished lunch," Harry added.
"I would love to bud." Ron said not wanting to help with the wedding plans.
"You do know being the best man means you have to help with the wedding as well." Harry said reading Ron's mind.
"But mate you aren't even helping out right now. I'll come when you go." Ron said firmly.
"Ron you never told me that you were the best man. Oh I am so proud." Mrs. Weasley said as she pulled both Harry and Ron into a bone crushing hug.
"That was very sweet of you Harry. Now Ginny do you know who your maid of honour will be?" Mrs. Weasley asked, now deciding that if Harry knew his best man Ginny should know her maid of honour.
"Yes I do Hermione agreed just a few minutes ago." Ginny said before both she and Hermione were pulled into s bone crushing hug too.
"Can you believe my little girl is getting married and to Harry Potter no less." Mrs. Weasley said starting to get emotional.
"God mom you know this for weeks." Ron said not knowing why women get so emotional over the smallest thins.
"I know that Ronald but all this planning makes it seem more real." Mrs. Weasley said glaring at her son.
"Women," Ron muttered under his breath.
"Uncle Ron can we go play now?" Teddy questioned as soon as he and Vicky were done eating.
"Come on Unkey Ron come on." Vicky said dragging Ron out of the kitchen with Teddy close behind.
"Hey love, are you almost done?" Ginny whispered seductively into Harry's ear.
"I am why?" Harry asked quietly.
"Good cause we will be needing your help with the guest list." Ginny whispered.
"You tease." Harry told her looking a little disappointed.
"I'm sure I can make it up to you." Ginny said with a smile as she went into the dining room with the others. All Harry could do was put his head on the table and groan.
