Ginny's POV
I heard soft music coming from besides me. A voice singing a sweet song into my ear. I was on the edge of consciousness but I kept my eyes closed savouring the lyrics of the song. Savouring that voice. My favourite voice in the whole world. Harry's voice.
City cold, moonlight bright
Mountains old, I watch the water
Someones old friend, someones lover
Someones sister, someones daughter
Isn't she beautiful
Isn't she beautiful
Isn't she everything you need
Isn't she everything you need
Child of earth with gentle hands
Wind in hair and toes in sand
Make you laugh, she'll make you listen
Nothing's broke and nothing's missin'
Isn't she beautiful
Isn't she beautiful
Isn't she everything you need
Isn't she everything you need
Isn't she beautiful
Isn't she beautiful
Isn't she everything you need
Isn't she everything you need
Slowly I open my eyes to be met with magical greeny/ blue grey ones. I smile up at Harry as he smiles down at me. He puts the guitar to the side and brings his lips down to mine.
Harry:"good morning soon to be mrs potter." I grin at him.
Me:"good morning back soon to be married mr potter."
He kisses me once more before I sit up. I see Harry's mouth drop. I look down to see that the sheet yah was covering me has fallen away since I sat up. Then I remember what we did last night. I look down shyly and scramble around trying to cover myself. Harry takes pity on me and gets of the bed walking into the bathroom. It gives me a moment to admire him as all he is wearing is his boxers. He is skinny like he has always been but he has muscles. His abs are defined, his muscles flexing as he walks in. He's in great shape. I fall back into the bed thinking how the heck did I bag him. I realise Harry will be coming out soon so I use the time to grab his shirt and pull it over my head. Just then he walks out. His pale body glistening wet. The front is even sexier than the back. He has a six pack and a well toned chest. He smirks when he sees me gaping. He has a towel wrapped round his waist. I shake my head and rush into the I walk back out Harry sat fully dresses on the bed waiting patiently. He looks up at me and smiles. He stands and walks towards me. He wraps his arms around my waist and softly kisses my lips.
Harry:"you look beautiful and you really are everything I need." I understand he's referring back to the song. I feel myself frown. But as I don't want to ruin the mood I reply by saying.
Me:"back at you potter."
Too late though Harry notices my frown. He let's go of me and instead takes my shoulders. I look down. He places his forefinger and thumb beneath my chin and gently lifts my head. He wills me to look at him and one again I am mesmerised by his eyes.
Harry:"Ginny you are beatiful. Your gorgeous. Why would you think otherwise?"
Me:"Harry I'm not all that you make me out to be. You can have any girl you want. Your the chosen one. Your a hero. You should have some model or something hanging of your arm. Instead for god knows what reason you settled for me. I just can't help but think you could do so much better."
Harry:"Ginny how could you think like that. Have I ever indicated to you anyhow that I want someone else?"
Me:"no but I can't help how I feel."
Harry:"Ginny do you want to know why I love you. Why I want to be with you. Because when I'm with you I can just be me. Just Harry. A normal kid. A normal wizard. I can forget about everything else. You loved me before I became famous. With you I don't have to be the chosen one or a hero. You loved me as me. As just Harry and that's what I love most about you. That you accepted me and took me in as an orphan. As a lost boy. I didn't want the destiny I was given but I couldn't help that fact that it was given to me. You stood by me through it all Ginny. Even when my best friends gave up on me at times. Like in my fourth year. When Ron thought I'd put my name in the goblet. And he wouldn't talk to me. Ginny you made me feel like a part of something bigger. You didn't make me feel like I was one big person. And that's why I love you. And I don't want anyone else besides you. Forerlins sake Ginny we just made love last night. We're getting married. Isn't that enough to show you how much I want you and how much I want to be with you and need you?" Im in tears. He really does love me.
Me:"it is enough. I'm sorry Harry. I just... I just... I don't know. But I do know you love me and I know I love you so nothing else matters." He smiles at me and takes a step closer. One arm encircling my waist and the other wiping away my tears.
Harry:"finally." I smile at him. His head leans closer to mine and our lips touch. Just as the kiss was about to deepen the was banging at the door.
Ron:"open up." Harry let's go of me and goes to unlock the door. Ron comes barging in. "What were you two up to? Your not married yet."
Harry:"Ron we were just talking and I think your forgetting she's still my girlfriend. And fiancé."
Ron:" and she's my sister."
Harry:"well Ron hermione is my sister but I don't dictate to you what you can or can't do."
Just then hermione walked past but hearing her name she reversed and walked straight into the room.
Hermione:"I just heard my name."
Me:"and I think your forgetting I'm still in the room."
Hermione:"what's going on?"
Harry:"Ron now has a problem with me and Ginny being alone. I thought you were happy for us?"
Ron:"I am but she's still my little sister and your still my best mate. I don't want you to do anything here. Not until your married anyway."
Hermione:"that's rich coming from you Ronald. I'm Harry's sister and your his best mate. I don't see him telling us what to do."
Harry:"that's what I just said."
Me:"exactly Ron so stop being a prat before I hex you!" I say glowering at him."
Ron:"ok ok I'm sorry. Bloody hell. No need to get your wand in a twist."
Me:"it's fine. Let's go now before mum gets mad." Then for good measure I kiss Harry on the lips and turn to see a slightly pissed Ron before linking arms with hermione and walking down. Harry and Ron hot on our tails.
Me and hermione join mum and fleur in the kitchen to help bring in the food whilst all the boys sat around the table. We put the food down and sat. Mum began fussing over Harry. I noticed Harry didn't eat much and he kept looking at the door. He seemed almost nervous.
Me:"Harry what's the matter?" I whispered to him. He jumped slightly.
Harry:"huh... What... Nothing." Me stammered. I followed his gaze to the door but there was nothing there.
Hermione:"Harry are you ok?" They seemed to have noticed his edginess. Then he smiled a little. I don't think the others noticed.
Harry:"yeah I'm fine. Hermione I have a surprise for you."
Hermione:"what is it?" Harry's head pointed to the direction of the door. We all turned our heads as one. There stood in the doorway was hermione's parents and Kingsley behind them. Hermione pushed her chair back and ran to them. "Mum. Dad?"
Mrs. G:"yes sweet heart." Hermione flung her arms around them and they both hugged her close. Everyone was smiling. I looked towards Harry."
Me:"so that's why you were nervous?" He just nodded. Mum made seat for the granger's anod Kingsley to sit with us.
Hermione:"how harry?"
Harry:"I talked to Kingsley and told him I wanted your parents to be bought here and the memory charm removed. So here they are."
Hermione:"thank you Harry."
Harry:"what are brothers for?"
I looked at my fiancé adoringly. He smiled at me and placed his hand on my knee. I kissed his cheek as we carried on with breakfast. Halfway through an owl flew in. Mum opened the letter.
Mum:"it's from Hogwarts. You have 10 weeks of instead of 6 and last year 7th years will redo their year with the new 7th years. There's a list of all the things you need. We might as well get them today whilst were there."
me:"that means I'll be in the same year as you Harry." Harry smiled as he nodded. After we finished Kingsley stood up and asked Harry if he could talk to him in private. Harry stood before holding his hand out for me. I looked at him slightly confused as did Kingsley. Harry bent slightly and took my hand in his before dragging me along with him into the living room.
Harry's POV
Kingsley asked if he could talk to me in private as we all finished breakfast. I stood up and held my hand out for ginny to take. I didn't want to keep anything from her any more. She looked at me confused as did Kingsley. I bent down a little and took Ginny's hand into my own before dragging her along with me into the living room with Kingsley in tow.
Kingsley:"Harry it is a private matter."
Me:"Kingsley whatever you want to discuss you can do it I front of my fiancé." I replied earnestly. Kingsley looked slightly shocked.
Kingsley:"congratulations Harry."
Me:"thank you." We all sat down and Kingsley took out a wad of parchments.
Kingsley:" no new minister has been appointed yet but they chose me to deliver these to you. They are wills. The first one is albus dumbeldore's. He asked for this to be given once you were of age. He leaves you his fortune and his pensive. The next is Sirius black. He also leaves you all his money as well as the blacks house. Grimmauld place. Do by the free elf saved a small fortune from the wages he was given. He also left that to you. Severus snape left for you all his fortune and the house he owned which is in London. Then Remus and nymphadora lupin left you half of their fortune and half of their only property. They left the other half to their son teddy lupin. Also. This letter." he said passing a letter. "Last but not least your parents. Lily and James potter. They leave in your possession their house in Godrics hollow as well as three other properties. One is in rio, Brazil, one is in Spain in the Canary Islands and the other is in Egypt Cairo." He handed over the papers. I sat there shocked. How could they all leave me so much. "Gringotts has been informed and all your personal possessions have been moved into your old vaul 687. Though they did have to enlargen the vault to fit it all in. I would advice you to get copies of these property papers made and keep one at the ministry and the others in your vault." I just nodded still dumbfound. We stood up and Ginny put her arm around me. I was grateful. Nice seeing you Harry he said sticking out his hand. I took it and shook it.
Me:"you too Kingsley." We walked into the kitchen.
Kingsley:"so Arthur. Are you going to be running for minister?"
Dad:"I'm not sure yet." Kingsley nodded. He bid everyone farewell then left. We all heard a loud pop as he disapparated.
Mum:"right are we all ready to go to diagonal alley?" Everyone nodded.
I ran upstairs to put the letter in my room and Ginny put the papers in her bag. Hermione had placed an undetectable extention charm on a small suitcase to pull along. Hermione held her mums hand and Ron took hold of mr grangers. Me and Ginny paired together as the others got into their pairs. We all apparated to the leaky couldren. As we walked through I could feel everyone staring at me. Oh great. A couple of witches and wizard walked up to me and shook my hand. I was glad when we got out. A few noticed hermione and Ron. Dad tapped his wand against the wall and the archway opened up to diagon Ally. As I looked down the long winding street I could see that everything was now back to normal. All the shops had been restored and the street was once again buzzing with witches and wizards.
Dad:"first stop. Gringotts."
Fred George bill Fleur and Charlie went straight to Fred and George's shop. The rest of us walked to gringotts. I took hold of Ginny's hand and we went to one desk whilst mum and dad and hermione and her parents went to different ones that were free. Ginny tried to go with her mum and dad but I kept hold of her hand.
Ginny:"Harry why are you taking me."
Me:"Ginny whatever's mine is yours. Whether were married yet or not." I spoke a little harsh towards the end to let her know this was not up for discussion. She looked down but didn't argue further. I felt the goblins looking at me. I stopped in front of the desk. I felt Ginny squeeze my hand. I looked at her and she smiled. I instantly relaxed. She knew I couldn't stand the staring.
Goblin:"congratulations mr potter."
Me:"thank you." I took my key out. "I'd like to take some money out please." For the first time ever I saw a goblin smile. It was indeed a very rare moment. The goblin nodded and came out from behind the desk.
Goblin:"this way mr potter." He took us through a door and whistled for a cart. We climbed in. The carts always gave me a sickly feeling. We were sat in the cart for a good five minutes before we reached the vault. "Vault 687." we got out of the cart. "Key please." i handed over the key and the goblin opened the vault. I heard Ginny gasp next to me. My vault had now tripled in size. It was brimming with gold silver and bronze. But mostly gold. I took two large pouches and filled them up. The goblin relocated the door and we got back into the cart. I knotted one pouch and asked Ginny to put it in her bag. Then I took her pouch and put half the gold into their from the second pouch and handed it to her.
Ginny:"Harry I don't want this."
Me:"Ginny I want you to have this. I don't want to worry mum and dad about buying our books and I want you and Ron to have new robes ok. How many times do I have to tell you. This is yours as much as it is mine. Plus it comes as part of the package."
Ginny:"Harry..." I silenced her by placing a soft kiss on her lips.
Me:"not here." She nodded but I knew this was far from over.
She placed her pouch in her bag and I put mine in my pocket. When we got into the main hall everyone was waiting for us. Mum smiled at us as we left and headed to flourish and blotts. We walked in and as usual there was a huge line.
Me:"mum, Ginny's got the money to pay for the books. Don't say anything or I will get upset. Me and dad will go to the ministry whilst you guys wait."
Before she could say anything I had joined dad at the fire place. I went first. I grabbed a handful of flop powder and shouted the ministry. Before I knew it I was falling out of the fireplace inside the ministry and dad was right behind me. We brushed the dirt of ourselves and I followed dad. People were shaking my hand every step I took. In the end dad threatened them to leave me alone. We walked into one department where I had my birth certificate altered, the adoption papers were approved and copied and so were my property papers. I had an idea and whilst dad was busy I had one of the property details altered. As I was Harry potter now the boy who saved the world, honestly I didn't do it alone I had so much help, but anyway I got seen straight away. So we were done half an hour later. Me and dad walked to the fire place and went back to flourish and blotts. When we got there we saw that mum was still in the queue. We walked up to them. They were next in line. I took the books of her and told the parents to wait for us outside. Our turn came and I took hermione a books of her and added them to my pile.
Me:"how much will that be?"
Owner:"Harry potter sir I can't take money of you. You saved our world. No you must take these. Think of them as a gift. All of them for your friends too." I shook my head.
Me:"no please let me pay. I don't feel comfortable taking these." After some argument they finally decided to take some money. Giving a huge discount. Hermione put the books in the suitcase and the four of us walked out.
Me:"mum why don't you guys go get some tea whilst we get measured from madam malkin then we'll join you?" Mum nodded. She took the suitcase of hermione and the four of us walked into madam malkin's robes for all occasions. Luckily it was empty. Madam malkin rushed over. She got all four of us to stand on stools and got three other witches to help come take our measurements.
Ron:"Harry mate. My other robes are fine."
Me:"Ron I don't want to argue about this ok. This is the least I can do for you."
MM:"your all done. They should be at the burrow in two weeks time." I pulled out my pouch and asked for them to be paid all together.
Hermione:"Harry I can pay for my own."
Me:"I know but I'm your brother so I can pay for them too." before she could protest I put a pile of galleons onto the desk and walked out with them following. I felt like crap. I felt filthy rich. and I didn't like the feeling. We walked to Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlour where mum dad and the grangers were sat sipping tea. We sat down and dad ordered us all ice creams. As we were sat waiting someone walked to our table. It was Percy.
Percy:"mum. Dad." Dad looked at him before looking away. Mum was tearing up.
Dad:"leave us alone."
Percy:"dad I'm sorry." Dad ignored him. I could see mum getting more upset.
Ron:"you heard what my dad said now leave." Mr and mrs granger looked at us all confused.
Me:"dad it's all over now. It's in the past."
Percy:"dad? Why is Harry calling you dad?"
Ron:"if you must know Harry is part of our family. He's a brother you never were."
Me:"Ron don't say that. Just leave it."
Percy:"he's still not your dad."
Mum:" yes he is Percy." i decided now was the time to give mum my birth certificate.
Me:"I can prove it too." I handed mum the certificate. She clasped her hand around her mouth as she read it. Ron took it if her to see what had caused her to react like this.
Mum:"how?
Me:"me and dad had it changed today. It was my surprise for you." the birth certificate had been handed to hermione and Ginny then back to Ron who held it up to Percy's face.
Ron:"see this. It says Harry James Weasley potter. Mum and dad adopted him and he had his name changed to make mum happy. Your the one who left the family. Your the one who doesn't have a right to call us your family."
Hermione:"Ronald calm down."
Me:"dad look. Just forgive him. Please. Everyones heads got messed because if voldemort. Just move in from that now. For mums sake. He's still your son. If you can take me in when I'm not blood then why not Percy."
Dad:"you see that. You insulted him and he's still taking your side. Harry my boy your closer than blood. This is what you call s real son. Now only because he's asking I will allow you back into the family. But I'm warning you now it will take time for us to forgive you. You can't expect everything to be normal and you will have to be patient."
Percy:"I will and I promise. I'm so sorry all of you. Especially you Harry. I'll be the best brother and son that I can be." Mum got up and hugged Percy. Then Ginny and hermione. Our ice creams came out and we ordered an extra for percy. He noticed the ring on Ginny's finger. "Nice ring Ginny."
Ginny:"oh yeah I forgot to tell you. Harry asked me to marry him and I said yes."
Percy:"congratulations."
Me:"thank you."
After that we all ate in a relatively comfortable silence. Dad was now questioning mr and mrs granger about how the muggle world is different but mostly about their lives as dentists. They in turn asked Ron about what he wanted to do in future. He was slightly baffled but answered as best as he could. He wanted to become an auror. So they started asking him questions about what exactly that was. Percy was talking to his mum and Ginny and I was just sat back watching the only family I ever had. After we finished we decided to roam around the shops. Mum wanted to get a head start on the Christmas presents. Me, Ginny Ron and hermione set of in our own little group. Me and Ginny walking hand in hand. Ginny stopped me and pointed to a shop.
Ginny:"look Harry. Mr Olivanders is open again." We walked in to see a much better looking mr Olivander sat at the desk.
Me:"good afternoon sir."
Mr. O:" aah mr Potter. I believe I have to thank you once again."
Me:"not at all sir. Just thought I'd see how you were?"
Mr. O:"you really are a great wizard Harry. Thank you. I'm a lot better." I tried not to scowl. I hated it when people said I was great. There was nothing great about me. Just then the door jingles and a group of children walked.
Me:"we best be going now sir." He nodded. Ginny had sensed my uncomfortable and kissed my cheek.
Ginny:"he was only stating the truth." I scowled at her. "Harry. Stop it. You are. With another kiss on my cheek she pulled me in the direction of weaslys whizarding wheases. We entered an overflowing shop. Fred and George spotted us and walked over.
Fred:"we really need to expand."
George:"what can we do for you lovely people." I laughed at them.
They took us around and showed us some of their latest creations. After half an hour mum and dad came in calling us to set of home. Fred and George would return at dinner time after closing up. Before we left I took the original papers of Ginny for the properties and placed them in my vault at gringotts. We apparated home and everyone went their own ways to store away their purchases. Mum went to get started on dinner. Me and Ginny headed up. I plonked down on to the bed as Ginny emptied her bag out and put our books on the shelf. I turned to my side and propped my head up by leaning my elbow on the bed and putting my head on my hand. I watched as she effortlessly moved around the room. Putting things away. I was so lucky to have her. She was the light in my dark life. She turned to find me watching her. She walked up to me and sat in front of me.
Ginny:"what are you doing?"
Me:"enjoying the view."
Gin:"what view?"
Me:"you. My favourite view in the world." She blushed a deep crimson. God I loved her blush. Come to think of it what didn't I love about her? I simply loved everything. "I love watching you." I leaned up and softly kissed her lips. "I have the perfect song actually." Ginny head shot up smiling.
Gin:"I love it when you sing." I smiled. I accioed my guitar and started strumming the notes.
I could stay awake just to hear you breathing
Watch you smile while you are sleeping
While you're far away and dreaming
I could spend my life in this sweet surrender
I could stay lost in this moment forever
Every moment spent with you is a moment I treasure
Don't wanna close my eyes
I don't wanna fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you, baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing
'Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream would never do
I'd still miss you, baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing
Lying close to you feeling your heart beating
And I'm wondering what you're dreaming,
Wondering if it's me you're seeing
Then I kiss your eyes and thank God we're together
And I just wanna stay with you
In this moment forever, forever and ever
I don't wanna close my eyes
I don't wanna fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you, baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing
'Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream would never do
I'd still miss you, baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing
I don't wanna miss one smile
I don't wanna miss one kiss
Well, I just wanna be with you
Right here with you, just like this
I just wanna hold you close
I feel your heart so close to mine
And just stay here in this moment
For the rest of time, yeah, yeah, yeah!
Don't wanna close my eyes
Don't wanna fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you, baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing
'Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream would never do
I'd still miss you, baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing
I don't wanna close my eyes
I don't wanna fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you, baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing
'Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream would never do
and I'd still miss you, baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing
Don't wanna close my eyes
I don't wanna fall asleep, yeah
I don't wanna miss a thing
I don't wanna miss a thing
I strummed the last note and held it for as long as possible. I had my eyes locked on Ginny's through out the whole song.
Ginny:"Harry that was beautiful." I smiled at her.
Me:"I meant every word gin."
Ginny:"I know you did baby." I placed the guitar on the bed and held my arms open for Ginny who threw herself into my embrace. I held her there and we just sat quietly for a few minutes. Our breaths slow and even. Then mum called out to me.
Mum:"Harry dear there's someone here to see you. Come down quickly." I shouted back ok and me and Ginny stood before walking down. As we entered the kitchen there sat by the table was andromeda. And on the table in a carrier was teddy lupin. She stood as I greeted her and she engulfed me into a hug.
Andro:"Harry my boy how are you?"
Me:"I'm ok. How are you and teddy?"
Andro:"Teddy's fine. As for me well I'm old now. Not doing too good and teddy is too much of a handful. Which is why I came to see you."
Me:"of course. Is there anything I can do to help."
Andro:"that's what I wanted to talk to you about. Have you read remus's letter?" I shook my head I had forgotten about that. "Well you can read it later but as you know you are Teddy's godfather." I nodded. " well as you know I can't care for him properly anymore and well I wanted to ask you what..." I cut her of.
Me:"I'll adopt him."
Andro:"what?" She sounded a little shocked. Mum and Ginny looked it as they looked at me."
Me:"I'll adopt him. It's my fault Remus and tonks are dead. Teddy is my godchild and I would never want my godchild to have a childhood like mine. It's the least I can do. I love him so much anyway."
Andro:"Harry don't you dare. If it's anyone's fault they are dead it's voldermorts. It's thanks to you that the rest of us aren't dead. But adopting him is a huge responsibility. Are you sure you can handle it?"
Me:"of course I can and I will. Plus I have help whenever I need it." I said looking at mum and Ginny. Then a thought occurred to me. I looked at Ginny then mum. "Ginny, mum I know this is short notice but could we have the wedding in the holidays that way we can properly adopt teddy and have both our names on the birth certificate? Ginny if that's ok with you. I don't want you to think I'm pressuring you into this. If you don't want to its fine. I'm sorry I shouldn't have asked you that. I'm asking too much of you?" I babbled on only to be stopped by Ginny who pulled my face round so I was looking at her. Into her eyes.
Ginny:"I would love to have the wedding in the holidays and I would be honoured to be Teddy's mother. Remus and tonks were really good to me too. I wouldn't have this any other way. So stop babbling on you silly wizard." I smiled at her mesmerised. She was too good to be true. Too good to be real. But she was true and she was real and she was all his. She turned to mum. "Mum think we can organise a wedding in a couple of weeks?" Mum looked at us both proud."
Mum:"you just watch me." Then all of a sudden there was a flurry of activity as she started giving orders. "I need the date from both of you. Were you want it and a guest list. We'll go shopping tomorrow and have Teddy's birth certificate done. You two go put teddy upstairs so he doesn't wake. I'm making dinner and andromeda your staying here to eat." I picked up the carrier and peeped in to see a four month old teddy fast asleep. Me and Ginny walked up. We decided to leave him in the carrier so we didn't wake him. I put him down on the bed and pulled Ginny towards me encircling her in my arms. She wrapped her arms around my neck and kissed me before pulling her lips away.
Me:"thank you. For everything."
Gin:"Harry I haven't done anything."
Me:"you've done more than you know. But the most you have done is just being you and loving me as I am and having me in your life along will all my problems."
Gin:"Harry I'd be dumb not to love you. I wouldn't have my life any other way, than the way it is now... Harry were do you think we should have the wedding?"
Me:"I was going to ask you if we could have it here. This is the only real home over ever known. But if you want it somewhere else I don't mind. I just want you to be happy and have everything you want in this wedding."
Ginny:"I would love to have it here. Are you forgetting it's not only me whose getting married. It's you too. This is our wedding. My happiness lies on your happiness. I want this wedding to be what we both want."
Me:"your amazing. Do you know that. Your simply incredible." She laughed.
Ginny:"so who are we inviting?"
Me:"Hagrid, professor mgonagol, Neville, Luna... Anyone you want."
Ginny:"how about we invite all of gryffendor house. But well only tell the teachers the real reason and obviously Luna as she will be a bridesmaid."
Me:"and Neville as he'll be one of my best men. So now that's sorted when should we have it?"
Ginny:"two weeks before school starts. So we have 8 weeks to prepare then well have enough time to be ready for school too."
Me:"excellent lets go tell mum and explain to the others what is going on." She nodded. Ginny cast a monitoring spell on the room so that we'd here teddy if he woke up. Then we went down. We told mum who was ecstatic at holding the wedding at home. She set a quill up to write letters to all the guests. Ginny's aunt and uncles and grandparents were informed too. Then as mum finished dinner we gathered the others and let them in on everything. Percy had joined us by this time.
Straight away the buzz of excitement flowed through everyone. Fred and George took on the responsibility of entertainment. Bill and Charlie and dad and Percy would be setting all the gazebos up. Although everyone was still being a little of with Percy. hermione was talking to Ginny about the dress and fleur and hermione were told they would be bridesmaids along with Luna. I told Ron him and Neville would be my best men. We decided tomorrow we would go to buy the dress the rings, the best men's suits and the bridesmaids dresses. Just as we sat down to eat there was crying heard. Ginny got up but I stopped her.
Me:"it's ok. I'll get him." I went upstairs and walked into the room. I carefully picked teddy up out of the carrier and put him against my shoulder. I gently patted his back as I rocked him to stop him from crying. I heard him burp and his crying came to a stop. I held him I front of me. "Is that all you needed? A burp." Teddy gurgled. I laughed as I held him against my chest and walked down. Everyone smiled as I walked in."
Andro:"your a natural Harry. Remus and tonks would have been so proud."
Me:"he just wanted to burp." I took my place next to Ginny who took teddy of me and kissed his rosy cheeks. He looked just like tonks except for his nose and eyes. They were Remus's. Teddy was passed around to all of his uncles. In the end he settled in Ron's lap.
Ron:"I'm going to be your favourite uncle aren't i?"
Fred and George:"no we are aren't we teddy. and your going to help us with our business aren't you?."
Ginny:"you will not use my son as a tester." she said warning them her motherly instinct taking over.
Fred:"chill sis. We're not going to harm our nephew. Were simply going to display him in front of the shop to attract more people. Who's going to be able to resist him."
Ginny:"I will not allow you to use my son as bait. Do you here. You stay away." They pulled a face at Ginny and all I could do was laugh. This earned me a glare and a smack on the arm. "Stop provoking them he is your son too you know." I tried keeping a straight face but Ginny looked to adorable and Fred and George were funny. "Harry!"
Me:"ok ok I'm sorry. Sorry guys you can't use our son as bait unless of course you baby sit him."
George:"yes!"
Fred:"nice one Harry." I felt my head being hit forward." Ginny was fuming.
Ginny:"Harry James potter. How dare you!"
Me:"Ginny it was a joke." But she was already too angry to see the funny side. She scraped her chair back took teddy of Ron and stormed upstairs. Picking up his bag as she left.
Ron:"think you better go make it up to her. Girls in a strop is highly dangerous. Trust me." This earned Ron a whack from hermione as I stood and dutifully followed Ginny. I entered the room to see Ginny wasn't there. I heard the water run in the bathroom and walked in. Teddy was lying on the floor on a changing mat. Ginny was sat in front of him. I sat besides her not saying anything but just watching how she changed the nappy. She wiped his bottom with a wet wipe and slid on a new nappy. She stuck the sticky tabs down and rolled up the soiled nappy placing it into a nappy bag. She got up and threw the bag in the bin then washed her hands before coming back and picking teddy up. She swished her wand and the folding mat folded itself away. She pulled out a baby gro and started to change Teddy's clothes.
Me:"Ginny I'm really sorry I was only joking. She glared at me as she carried on changing teddy. I sat on the bed and moved teddy towards me. I took over from where she was and luckily she let me. "Please forgive me?" I looked at her pleadingly. She replied quietly.
Ginny:"ok but next time I'll hex you." I smiled at her."
Me:"I'll take hexes for the rest of my life as long as your not angry with me." She stifled a smile.
Ginny:"very cheesy mr potter."
Me:"if me being cheesy makes you smile then I don't mind being cheesy miss weasly."
Ginny:"ok ok I get it. Don't overdo it." She laughed. I closed the last button before leaning into her and kissing her lips. There was a gurgling noise that caused us to break away. We looked down to see teddy kicking his legs. "Somebody hungry." she summoned a bottle of warm milk and placed it to Teddy's lips after putting him in her arms. He drank hungrily. I watched them for a moment.
Me:"your a natural gin. You make an amazing mum."
Gin:"just like you make an amazing dad." I furrowed my brow.
Me:"I don't think that parts true. The only father figure I had was your dad during summer holidays after I turned 12 and Hagrid whenever I saw him. How will I make a great dad?"
Ginny:"because you have so much love to give Harry. You will never let our children go through what you had to go through and that alone makes you an amazing dad." This made me smile.
Me:"you always know what to say don't you?"
Ginny:"well you know me." She said teasingly. I laughed.
Me:"I'd like to get to know you better."
Ginny:"as would I. It's lucky we have the rest of our lives for it." Teddy finished his bottle. I made him burp whilst Ginny put his stuff away. then we went down.
Andromeda was just about to leave.
Andro:" Fred and George have bought all his stuff. I'll come down and see him when I can but do feel free to visit." She thanked us kissed teddy then apparated. I helped Fred and George take the stuff into Ginny's and my room. We set up the Moses basket before coming down. Mr and mrs granger thanked mum and dad but said they had to leave as they had to get back to work the next day. Hermione said she would leave with her parents but be back tomorrow morning to go shopping. We bid them farewell as hermione took there hands to apparate. Once they were gone I ran up and got a set of parchments and the big pouch of money. I came down and places the pouch in front of mum and dad.
Mum:"what's this dear?"
Me:"it's money. Me dad and all my brothers are going to buy bricks and motor and do up the house. It was my fault the house was burnt down. Before you say it wasn't it was. Bellatrix only came here because I was here. So your not going to refuse. Me and hermione practically live here and Charlie's staying here to. I finally have a proper family and I want to do this. everyone can have their own rooms and the rooms now can be extended a little. Mum dad I want you to have the best of everything because you have me the best of everything. I don't want to change the house though because I loved it and love it how it is. It's always been home since the first time I walked into here. I just think it definitely needs to be bigger though." I hadn't realised that everyone else had walked in and heard my speech. As soon as I was finished i was engulfed into a bone crushing hug. But I wouldn't change the hug for the world as it contained all of my family. "Bill fleur. Me and Ginny have a gift for you." I held Ginny's hand as I passed the papers to bill and both he and fleur read them.
Bill:"Harry we can't." He said as mum took the parchments of him."
Me:"you can and you will. It will be a small place of your own for whenever you need to get away. Or whatever. Teddy will be where I am and I don't and can't sell that house so I'd rather it be inhabited taken care of and loved by family." fluer threw her arms around me and hugged me and Ginny. Then bill hugged us to.
Bill:"thank you."
Me:"don't mention it, big brother." after that they all decided it was time for bed as they had another long day tomorrow. Ginny placed teddy his basket, put a warming charm on his blanket and a silencing charm on the room so he wouldn't wake anybody. We both changed into our night clothes and I pulled her next to me as we lay down, her head on my chest."
Ginny:"Harry how will we thank you for all that you've done for us?"
Me:"Ginny there no need for thank you. You've given me more than I could have ever dreamed for let alone wish. I am indebted to this family who took me in as their own and to you for the love you've given me. What I did was nothing." Ginny looked up at me.
Ginny:"it was something Harry. You made out family happy. You made mum and da cry tears of joy and I've never seen dad cry. Not even out of happiness. You've made our brothers and me happy. That's more than something." I smiled at her."
Me:"can we go to sleep now?" I asked trying to change the subject.
Ginny:"i know your trying to change the subject. But ok seeing as were tired and we have a long day tomorrow." I kissed her lips.
Me:"good night gin sweet dreams."
Gin:"good night Harry sweet dreams."
Me:"I love you Ginny weasly."
Gin:"and I love you Harry potter."
With Ginny wrapped safety in my arms our breaths slowed and became even. Our eyes dropped and could no longer stay open. They closed and we both fell straight to sleep.
