Thank you for all the favorites I'm glad so many people love reading this fic. The marriage won't be revealed til the next chapter, because it'd be too soon if I revealed it now. This chapter shows where Dumbledore and the Weasleys tell Harry and Ginny about their engagement, or what they think is an engagement. Of course the older Weasleys will be in this as well.

I don't own Harry Potter.

Enjoy!

The next morning:

Harry awoke in his new husband's arms at seven o'clock the next morning. Sev was sound asleep with the silk blankets covering his gorgeous body and Harry admired how his pale skin glowed in early morning light.

'So gorgeous.' He kissed his husband's forehead and tried to sneak out of bed only to have Sev's arms tighten around him. "Severus…" he laughed.

"Don't go." Sev mumbled.

"It's a little after seven, breakfast is at eight. Besides we need a shower."

"I can think of another activity…" Sev started kissing down Harry's neck and Harry pushed him back.

"We have to, do you want Hermione and Ron getting suspicious?"

"Since when do you care anymore?"

"Since we tied the knot last night; now come on I'll draw the bath." Severus reluctantly let Harry get up and walk into the bathroom turning on the water and putting out their clean robes. As soon as the water filled to the right spot he turned the faucet off and turned to see his beautiful snake naked in the doorway. "Ready?"

"Always." Sev got in first and moaned as the steamy water enveloped his body. Harry joined him and took out the soap. "Let me." Sev took it from him and began massaging Harry's shoulders.

"Oohh that's nice." Harry moaned.

"You should know I have strong hands."

"Good ones too Mr. Potioneer." As soon as the massage stopped Harry turned and did the same to Severus but gave a more comforting massage since the older man's back was full of knots. "There…so what's on the agenda for today?"

"Me I have papers to grade, you have an act with Ms. Weasley to keep up."

"It is a Hogsmeade weekend, but I think I'll skip."

"Why so? Oh…right there." Harry leaned in and bit Sev's earlobe.

"Because I want to keep an eye on you every chance I get. We are moving in together today so I will be around Ginny most of the time, but Draco won't be too happy about that. And when are you going to stop calling her Ms. Weasley, she's a Malfoy now and she prefers being called Ginny."

"Well I'll try, but I will end up continuing to call her Ms. Weasley." Harry laughed and moved his hands down to Sev's buttocks and groped him. "I thought you said not to." He turned and smirked.

"Doesn't mean I can't cop a feel does it?" Sev's hands moved towards Harry's groin but he stopped him. "Later." They washed each other's hair and got out to dry off, and Harry mumbled a spell to dry their hair before they dressed.

"You're hungry aren't you?" Harry heard his stomach growl and nodded. "Then you'd best be going, I'll see you tonight." Harry kissed him one more time before exiting out the room, right before he saw Ginny coming over to him. She hugged him instantly and he spun her around laughing.

"I'm guessing last night as good?" Ginny pulled back and smiled.

"It was magical." She hugged him again. "Hungry?" he nodded. "Me too let's eat." She pulled him into the Great Hall and they took an empty spot just across from Ron and Hermione.

"Wow don't you two look happy?" Hermione.

"Couldn't be better." Ginny dug into her eggs and toast and Harry noticed her wedding ring wasn't on her finger and quickly moved his own into his pocket.

"What's got you all giggly this morning?" typical clueless Ron.

"I never kiss and tell Ronniekins." Ginny smirked and continued eating, Harry joined in and ate into his bacon. "Sorry but Harry and I won't be joining you in Hogsmeade today."

"Why not?"

"We have such important…matters to discuss." She winked and Harry winked back.

"Oh…we get it." Ron and Hermione smirked making Harry's stomach lurch. He knew what they were thinking and it was absolutely sickening. "Got any other plans tonight?"

"We do." Harry.

"Excellent." Hermione.

"Keep your eyes in your head Herms, we don't like spreading tales." Ginny about finished her meal and then nudged Harry. He looked up to see Dumbledore coming their way looking all smug and his eyes with their usual twinkle.

"Good morning Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny."

"Good morning sir." They answered.

"I couldn't help but notice how cheery you are this morning Harry, might I ask why?"

"I just am sir." He held Ginny's hand making the old man smile more.

"Well I'm glad to you see you both in such a cheery mood, now after breakfast will you both meet me in my office?" they exchanged looks and shrugged. "Good, I'll see you soon then." As he walked off Ginny turned to Harry.

"What could he want this early?"

"Knowing Dumbledore, probably something important." Harry sipped the last of his pumpkin juice and stood up. "Let's get going." He grabbed her hand and left the Great Hall, Ginny let a quick wink to Draco and continued on til they reached the gargoyle.

"You know the password?"

"Snakeskin." The gargoyle moved aside and they made it up the spiral staircase. When they stepped inside Dumbledore's office the entire Weasley clan except Ron and Charlie were there.

"Oh good morning Harry, Ginny!" Molly came and hugged them both.

"What's this about?" Harry and Ginny stood side by side.

"We have a surprise for you both." Molly said snuggling close to Arthur.

"Surprise?" Ginny and Harry near gave themselves away, like they didn't know what was going on.

"You two are engaged!" the maternal Weasley shouted with glee.

"Wait what?" both Harry and Ginny shouted.

"You two are to be married, this summer in fact." Dumbledore said with his usual smile.

"Sir what on earth are you talking about?" Ginny.

"Oh Ginny dear, I know this is a bit of a shock but it's been known among our family for a few years now." Ginny looked stunned, as did Harry.

"This was arranged?" Harry asked and Dumbledore nodded.

"Harry, I understand that you have a thing against arranged marriages but I don't doubt this one is one you'll agree with."

"Wait just a minute Professor, you call us up here early in the morning not even a year after we battled in the biggest war ever and just expect us to be ok with this marriage? Don't you think we both have dreams?"

"Ginny dear we understand that you want to be a Professional Quidditch player, but you're still so young and we think it's time you're married." Arthur.

"I'm not a princess dad you can't just force me into this."

"Nor me. I'm sorry but Ginny and I have a lot to discuss." Harry quickly pulled Ginny away out of the office. They made it back down the spiral staircase and to another part of the corridor where they could hear everything just in case. "That went better than I thought." He smirked.

"Definitely." Soon the clatter of feet followed down the hall and they listened in.

"Oh dear, that didn't go so well." Molly.

"There now Molly I'm sure it's just the shock, after all the contract is intact I checked it yesterday."

"Well whether they like it or not the wedding is this summer. Harry and Ginny are a good match, regardless of friendship." That made Ginny gasp lowly.

"Indeed, and we'll soon have our hands on Potter's fortune." Dumbledore again.

'The bloody bastard.' Harry and Ginny stayed hidden until the footsteps walked away, far away. "Ginny, we have to do this soon."

"Harry…"

"I will talk to Remus, he'll know what to do but in the mean time we have to get out of this castle."

"But Harry, everyone will think we eloped."

"Let them, I know where we can go we just have to hide until all of my parents' money is returned. That won't take long since Griphook has access in Gringotts and he's the main caretaker of my family's vaults. Not to mention Kingsley can get us a good hideout, we can take Draco and Severus."

"But then everyone will think we were kidnapped, I don't want to endanger Draco and I know you don't want to endanger Sev."

"Ginny this is the only true way we can ensure our safety, once the money is returned Dumbledore will regret everything he's done as will your parents. We won't be gone long, just until this is done and besides I know we can't just disappear." She looked at him confused.

"Then what can we do?"

"Let's find Sev, and Professor McGonagall they'll explain more thoroughly." They quickly snuck down some corridors evading Hermione and Ron who were looking for them, and somehow made it to the dungeons were Draco was heading into Sev's office.

"Draco!" Ginny ran and he caught her in a hug. Giving a small kiss he looked between her and Harry.

"Ginny, Harry what're you two…"

"No time, we need to see Sev and Professor McGonagall, now." Draco smiled a little.

"Then you caught them, they're in there now." Good timing, all three teens quickly walked into the classroom locking the door and putting up silencing charms. "Professors."

"Draco, Harry, Ginny what are you three doing here?"

"We just came from Dumbledore's office, my parents were there and so were my brothers. They intend to marry us this summer."

"Well that can't happen, since you two are of age whatever contract he's created is null and void. Plus you're already married so it wouldn't work regardless." Minerva.

"We know, but I have a feeling that they'll stop at nothing because we made it look like we don't want the marriage." Harry. "They took it well, but they plan to make us marry."

"They can't."

"But we need to make sure, we have to leave." Ginny.

"Leave?" Draco.

"The only way to get Dumbledore off our backs right now is to make sure all of my family's money is returned, Griphook will help but it will take time. We don't plan to just vanish, we just have to come up with an excuse and go." Both professors exchanged looks.

"I know one, an Auror training program." Minerva. "Kingsley's been recruiting those who helped in the war to partake in a program, only if they wish and he sends them to different locations for training."

"How long is it?"

"A month, or sooner depending on how they progress."

"It won't work." Severus said. "Dumbledore is too smart to fall for such a hoax, he'll just have someone tag along to report back to him."

"Then what do you suggest Severus?"

"Arrange a meeting at Gringotts, or have Griphook come here and have him withdraw all the money from the Weasley and Dumbledore vaults until the money is returned."

"But what if they find out about us?" Ginny snuggled into Draco's arms.

"They can't do anything Ginny, the bonding is full intact and no form of magic can destroy it. Not even Dumbledore himself could break it off." Draco kissed her head.

"Even so he'll stop at nothing."

"Then we have no choice." Minerva. "We'll have to tell everyone. Your things have already been moved to some private quarters, completely legal and approved by the Minister of Magic."

"Wonderful, but it'll have to wait until tomorrow." Harry touched Sev's hand. "I'll see Griphook then." Severus smirked.

"No need Mr. Potter." In a darker corner of the room appeared Griphook, with a scroll and quill in hand.

"Griphook what the…?" Harry looked up at Sev.

"Called him after I came back, figured this would come out sooner or later." Harry loved how fast thinking his husband was, sometimes he could say Severus was a typical person.

"Now then Mr. Potter if we can get down to business…" Griphook unrolled the scroll. "This document is a warning to the Dumbledore's and Weasleys to return all money they've taken from you otherwise the Ministry will garnish all their wages and take most valuable items to pay off the debt."

"Just out of curiosity, how much have they taken?" Harry asked leaning in.

"At total of…215,645 galleons, 14,047 sickles, and 5010 knuts." Harry's eyes widened, he knew his parents had never ending fortunes but wow. "This is a legal binding document, there will be no way out until the debt is paid."

"Shouldn't take too long, with the fact that the Dumbledore family has a good amount of money, or had a good amount of money after this." Minerva smiled. "Listen, you four head to Hogsmeade for a little while I'll take care of all the drama here." Harry nodded and quickly signed the bottom line, handed the quill back to Griphook and the goblin bowed before apparating.

"Let's go, I'll get my coat."

"No need Harry." Sev passed Harry his coat and configured Harry's uniform into casual clothes. Ginny did the same with her own clothes and Draco passed her a nice cotton coat he'd bought for her. "Let's go."

"See you this afternoon everyone." All four took the floo and entered in Honeydukes cellar.

"Shall we?" Draco let Ginny go first, and everyone towered upstairs. The shop was slightly full, and then Ginny went over the licorice.

"I'm craving something sweet." Ginny picked up a pack of cherry licorice wands.

"Allow me love." Draco picked up a thing of candies and Severus grabbed some for Harry.

"You don't have to do that." Harry said seeing several chocolate frogs and blood pops in Sev's hands.

"But I want to." He smiled and kissed Harry's cheek.

"As do I, my wife deserves all she wants." Draco kissed Ginny's cheek and then everyone heard the door slam open.

"WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?"

I myself hate cliffhangers, but I know it adds on more likings to the story. Next one should be up soon, after I update a couple more of my fics. How do you want Ron and Hermione's action, along with the other Weasleys scheming Harry and Ginny?

R&R

Later!
