AN: OK as everyone knows I do not own Harry Potter :'(
June 2nd -80 days
It seemed hopeless. Ginny had looked at this over and over again in her mind countless times yet always came up with the same conclusion: she was lost.
"This cannot be happening to me." Ginny mumbled to herself as she passed the same painting of a forest with three animals playing together: for the third time.
"You can do this Ginny. You knew all the passageways in Hogwarts after two months. Potter Manor should be easy compared to Hogwarts." It didn't matter what Ginny told herself. She was lost: even after months of living in Potter Manor Ginny still got lost.
It didn't take long for Ginny to realise that the summary Harry had given Ginny the first time she came to the manor was just that a summary. It didn't even come close to everything in the Manor. Harry didn't even tell her about the basement until Ginny was measuring a spare room to put in a potions lab. Even Ginny was starting to see the humour in the situation: not that she would ever tell Harry that.
HGHGHGHGHGHG FLASH BACK HGHGHGHGHGHG
Harry being surprised was an understatement. He was looking for Ginny to tell her that he had sent the invitations out when he found her in a spare room with paint chips, a measuring tape and five house elves.
"Umm… Gin what are you doing?" Harry asked after he tore his eyes away from the huge hole in the wall.
"Harry you are never going to believe this. I just realised that we don't have a potions lab. I mean we have a muggle arcade but we don't have a potions lab. And if I plan on getting my masters in potions then I will need one. So I thought I might as well get started." Ginny said excitedly.
After Hermione, Ron, Harry and Ginny had had the talk of their past all four of them got along better. It was as if Harry and Ginny finally past that last barrier on their relationship. Almost everyone could see that Harry and Ginny seemed even more in love after that talk. It was because of this new closeness the two of them shared that Ginny told Harry of her dream to get a master in potions. Harry, of course, supported her in that but he didn't support her making a potions lab on the second floor when there was a perfectly good one in the basement.
"I see. So the one in the basement isn't good enough?" Harry questioned truly surprised.
"Because I thought that that it was state of the art. I mean does it not have enough ingredients? I thought I told Tape to restock." Harry was trying to figure out what was wrong with the potions lab when Ginny spoke up.
"There is a basement?" Ginny questioned in a deadly voice. Harry's head snapped to her direction so fast that he was surprised he didn't get whip lash.
"Did I uh…forget to mention that?" Harry asked sheepishly as he ran a hand through is hair.
"Ya I think you might have." Ginny hissed. Harry couldn't control himself anymore soon he was laughing so hard that he had tears streaming down his face.
"This isn't funny Harry." Ginny yelled her face turning red, from embarrassment or anger Harry didn't know.
"Come on Gin you have to see the humour in it. I mean you knocked down half a wall." Harry said smirking.
Ginny started mumbling things under her breath as she pushed passed Harry on her way to the basement.
"Umm…do you guys mind fixing the rooms?" Harry asked the elves.
"No Master we be fixing the room right now." One of the elves said.
"Thanks, I really-" Before Harry could finish Ginny stuck her head back in the room.
"If you even breathe a word of this to anyone I will show you why George and Fred fear me." Ginny hissed before she left the room again.
Harry shook his told the elves thanks again before he ran after Ginny to show her to the basement.
HGHGHGHGHGHG FLASH BACK HGHGHGHGHGHG
Back to the problem at hand Ginny was lost and she didn't want to call for help. Ron would never let her live it down if he knew the place better than she did. With that thought in mind Ginny decided to just keep going. Eventually she will make it to somewhere that she recognizes.
Ya right like that will work. Ginny thought sarcastically to herself.
After walking for about five more minutes she found a double door with black handles: almost every door had gold Ginny noted to herself.
Ginny having nothing better to do opened the door and what she saw in their astounded her. Ginny was in a room about half the great hall and it was filled with trophies, awards, medals, Order of Merlin's, and she even saw a couple of the awards that the Queen gave out. Ginny couldn't remember what they were called: it wasn't her fault that the muggle studies teacher had a monotone voice that made Ginny stop paying attention after a few minutes.
Ginny looked around the room in awe. Everywhere she went it was Potter this Potter that. Ginny was looking around when she noticed a glass case with 5 shelves. Each shelf held only one object. There was a cup, a locket, a head piece, a ring, and a dairy that Ginny remembered seeing all throughout her horrible first year. Ginny couldn't help it seeing the dairy, with the hole in it that was created from the tooth piercing it, was like the dam breaking letting a flood of memories in.
Ginny slowly sunk to the floor before all the tears that she kept bottled up for years poured out. Ginny didn't know how long she was in there crying she didn't even realize when Harry walked in the room. It wasn't until he wrapped his arms around her she knew he was there. Without thinking Ginny buried her head into his chest.
Harry sat there hold Ginny for what felt like hours; whispering calming words into her ear as he held her. "Shh...it's ok...it wasn't your fault."
Ginny soon calmed down enough to speak. "Thanks love. I'm not usually like this I hardly ever cry." Ginny said slightly embarrassed.
"You have nothing to apologize for." Harry whispered into Ginny's hair. "I gather that seeing the diary brought back memories. If you ever want to talk about it I will always be there for you. If this is too much for you I can get rid of it I don't have to keep it." Harry said trying to make Ginny feel better and tell her that he was there for her if she needed him.
"No you don't have to get rid of it. I just wasn't excepting it that's all. It just brought back memories of my first year." Ginny said quietly.
"Do you want to talk?" Harry asked so quietly that if Ginny wasn't wrapped in his arms she wouldn't have been able to hear it.
When Ginny said nothing for a moment Harry was starting to worry that he had said the wrong thing. Before Harry had a chance to do more than open his mouth to apologize Ginny spoke up.
"I WAS A STUIP LITTLE GIRL!" Ginny shouted so angrily and suddenly that Harry jumped a foot in the air.
"I just can`t believe I did something so stupid. I could have killed people Harry. Killed them," Ginny whispered.
"Ginny it wasn't your fault you were a young girl. Voldemort to advantage of you if it is anyone's fault then it is his. Dumbledore once told me that people older and wiser have been fooled by him. If anything I think you are one of the bravest and strongest person I've ever meet." When Ginny raised an eyebrow at him Harry continued.
"No really. Ginny you held Voldemort off until the end of the year that is almost a full year and you were strong enough to make sure that the thing that happened was that the students were petrified. No one was killed and that is because of you." Harry said looking Ginny in the eyes.
When Ginny looked into Harry's eyes she saw nothing but sincerity in them. "I'm sorry I guess I was just being silly." Ginny mumbled.
"You weren't being silly and you have nothing to apologise for." Harry said kissing her head.
"What is this place?" Ginny questioned finally looking around. The room was about the size of half the great hall and it was filled with trophies, certificates, awards, medals, and other things that looked very important.
Harry looked around the room sheepishly before replying. "Oh... well this is the Potter's Awards Hall. It is everything any Potter won since the first Potter won a quidditch award."
Ginny stood up and decided to look around. Ginny was looking around until something caught her eye. "Harry why is there a little man kicking a quaffle." Ginny said eyeing the trophy.
"It's not a quaffle it's a football. It is a muggle sport. Anyway I think my great grandmother was in a muggle football league. That trophy was the most important thing in her life." Harry informed Ginny.
When Ginny opened her mouth to ask how exactly he knew that Harry spoke up, "My great Grandmother has a portrait of herself somewhere in this place. You would think that there would be a hall of portrait but no that would be too easy." Harry said hoping to get Ginny to laugh.
"Really so where are your trophies?" Ginny asked teasingly knowing that Harry hated his fame. Ginny could tell that he didn't like them because of the fact that his nose scrunched up in the most adorable way.
"If I had any say they would be in the garbage but alas Hermione got to them first and put them somewhere in here. It was my idea to put the Horcruxes in the case. After everything Hermione and I went through I couldn't just throw them out." Harry told Ginny as he looked around the room. If Ginny had her way she would have spent the rest of the day looking around but it seemed that Harry had already spent too long in there.
"You don't like being in here?" Ginny questioned.
"I don't mind it is only when I am looking at mine when it is anyone else I don't really care." Harry said looking at his shoes.
"That is one of the things I like most about you Harry." At Harry's questioning look Ginny explained, "Your modesty."
"And do you know what I love about you?" Harry asked Ginny. "I love everything about you. Your eyes, your hair, your smile, the way you can make me smile even when I feel like there is no reason for me to anymore, your freckles."
"My freckles," Ginny scoffed.
"Yes your freckles. I love all of them. My favourite is the one right under your ear." Harry said as he kissed the said freckle.
"Harry not now," Ginny said not really sound like she meant it.
"And this one, and this one, and this one," Harry said kissing all the ones he passed.
"Harry we can't I have a fitting today and you are suppose to babysit Teddy and Vicky today." Ginny said as she gently pushed Harry off.
"I'm sure I can be a few minutes late." Harry said with a pout.
"You can I can't. You know how mum gets. Now how do we get downstairs?" At this Harry burst out laughing.
"It's not funny this place is huge. And I'm normally ever on the first three floors." Ginny said getting defence of.
"I'm sure you will get the hang of it. But i'll give you a tip. The house has been lived in by so many magic people that it has absorbed a fair bit of it if you need to go somewhere just think about where you want to go and the house will light up a path for you." Harry whispered in her ear.
"What! Why didn't you tell me this before?" Ginny demanded.
"I liked being your knight in shining armour." Harry said giving Ginny his award winning smile.
"Harry James Potter that is the..."
"Most caring kind romantic thing anyone has ever done for you thing." Harry guessed.
"No that is the stupidest thing I have ever heard." Ginny said as she closed her eyes. A moment later a gold pathway lit up.
"Can't believe him... could have saved so much time... last time I get lost... when I get my hands on him...so easy." Ginny mumbled to herself as she followed the gold path.
"HARRY GO PICK UP VICKY AND TEDDY!" Ginny yelled from down the hall snapping Harry out of his laughter.
"OKAY I"M GOING RIGHT NOW LOVE YA." Harry paused waiting for her reply.
"LOVE YOU TOO GIT." Harry smiled to himself before he disappeared without a sound.
OOOOOOOOOOO
Harry appeared at Shell cottage to hear lots of screaming and banging coming from inside the house.
"Hello Fleur...Bill." Harry said as he knocked on the door. A flushed looking Fleur opened the door.
"O' 'Arry thank goodnezz ou are 'ere." Fleur said as she pulled Harry into the house.
"I fink I will take a bath as soon as Victoire and Teddy are out of my hands. I fink they had too much sugar." Fleur informed Harry.
Harry was just about to ask if Teddy wasn't behaving properly when a red and blonde blur zoomed by them.
"TEDDY REMUS LUPIN POTTER." Harry hollered causing both Teddy and Victoire to stop and Fleur to give a little jump of fright.
"Hi daddy," Teddy said looking up at Harry with big brown puppy dog eyes that looked very similar to those of Ginny. Both Teddy and Victoire had their hands behind their back and were swaying side to side in the perfect imitation of an ashamed child.
"You are in big trouble young man. I will be telling your mother about this when she gets home. You should know better. You are to behave when you are at someone else's house. I want you to apologise to your aunt right now. If this happens again you won't be able to go flying for 30 whole days." Harry said sternly to Teddy.
"I'm sorry Auntie Fleur, I'm sorry daddy. Please don't tell mummy and can I please please please still go flying wif you?" Teddy asked with what looked like tears in his eyes.
"He's been spending too much time with Fred and George." Harry mumbled to himself. Harry wanted to stay strong but one look at Teddy's face had all his resolve broken.
"Ok this is a warning but I still have to tell your mum but I will try to talk her out of a time out okay." Harry said surprised at how easy it was for him to break.
"Ok daddy I love you." Teddy said as he put his arms up to be picked up. As soon as Harry picked Teddy up Teddy gave him a big hug and kiss.
"Thank you Teddy Bear. Now how would you and Vicky like to come home and play in the tree fort?" Harry asked the two kids.
"YA YA YA YA YA YA YA!" Teddy and Victoire said jumping up and down with excitement.
"I'm sorry about Teddy Fleur it won't happen again." Harry said on his way out.
" 'Arry kids will be kids. I will pick Victoire up at 7 iz that ok." Fleur asked.
"That's fine. See you then." Harry said as he Teddy and Victoire left in a burst of green flames.
OOOOOOOOOOO
"One...two...three...four...five...ten...ready or not here I come" Harry yelled as he uncovered his eyes and stepped away from the tree.
Harry heard Victoire giggling from behind the swing set and saw Teddy's flashing hair: Teddy's hair always flashed when he was having fun.
"Hum... where could they be?" Harry questioned loudly causing Victoire to giggle even louder.
"Are you under here...no...maybe here?" Ever time Harry looked in the wrong both Victoire and Teddy laughed louder.
"Oh no maybe they disappeared. I guess that means I am going to have to eat all that ice cream by myself." Harry said shaking his head in fake disappointment.
"NO DADDY WE'RE HERE!" Teddy screamed as he jumped out from behind a bush.
"UNCLE HARRY I WANT ICE CREAM TOO PLEASE." Victoire shouted as she ran after the two of them.
Laughing Harry and the two kids headed into the kitchen. "Now remember if your mum asks you didn't have any ice cream." Harry said cringing at the thought of Ginny yelling at him for spoiling their dinner, again.
