I'm glad you all enjoyed the last chapter! Hopefully you'll like this one as well. I've started this chapter on October 3, 2014 so we'll see how long it takes me to get this done. It took me about 3 days to get the last one done but this one will take longer but I will say I will never, ever rush a chapter because I firmly believe that it's better to take longer to write and make it a good chapter versus rushing it and making it a terrible chapter. Well anyway, here it is and as always I do not own Harry Potter!

Chapter 10

"No! Stop please!" Amycus Carrow screamed as he writhed on the floor of Malfoy Manor. All eyes watched as Harry lazily tortured him, a look of glee in his eyes while Ginny rubbed his arm lovingly. Alecto Carrow sobbed silently while her brother was tortured. There was nothing she could do for him, the Dark Lord had even said that he was at Harry's mercy now. Damn that boy! Damn you Potter!

Suddenly, Harry looked right at her. "You had better watch yourself Alecto or you can join him." Alecto shivered, fear coursing through her body. She had forgotten about the boy being as good at legilimens as the Dark Lord himself.

She remembered how this had started. Amycus decided he wanted to give little Ginny a wedding present.

Two Hours Earlier….

"You can't be serious Amycus! If they find out, you will be a dead man!"

He shrugged and grinned. "Don't you worry abou' me sis. I'll be fine, the little whore won't know what hit her!" He grinned as he poured the vial into the pumpkin juice that Dobby had served for Ginny, who was on her way. What they had not known, is that Dobby was around the corner and heard them talking about what they were doing and was most distressed about it. So he ran quickly to warn Miss Ginny, who had always been kind to Dobby. Instead, he ran into the next best thing, Harry himself.

"Hello Dobby how are- what's wrong!?" He saw the look of horror on the elf's face. "Dobby please tell me what's wrong." Harry had always hated the way they treated Dobby, he had always found the elf to be a good conversationalist.

Dobby was shaking. "Oh Harry Potter sir! Dobby has done bad Dobby has! But Dobby couldn't help it sir! He's heard them talking bad about Miss Ginny! They talk of poison sir! Dobby saw the vial get poured into the pumpkin juice Dobby served! Oh sir you must stop them!" But Harry was already off and quickly got to the dining hall with Dobby not far behind.

He had made it just in time to see Ginny come in for breakfast. He saw Amycus Carrow standing close enough to the table to give him an idea. "Hold on love before you drink that." Ginny looked in surprise to see Harry but understood immediately when she saw the cold fury in his eyes as he gazed at Amycus. "Amycus, you look rather parched, have some pumpkin juice." Amycus stuttered and Ginny knew immediately that it was poisoned. She saw Dobby looking relieved and knew Dobby had alerted Harry immediately. She felt a rush of affection for the elf.

"N-n-no, no I'm fine it's all yours Ginny!" He looked a little pale as Harry picked up the goblet and sniffed it.

The rage reappeared in a heartbeat and Amycus felt his stomach drop. "Poison, really Amycus? Well, I think I know the perfect punishment for you." Amycus gulped at the evil look on his face.

Present Time….

Amycus gasped in relief as the curse was finally lifted. "T-thank you!"

Harry snorted as he glanced at the Dark Lord who nodded his consent. He saw Bellatrix grinning madly at what was about to happen. "Amycus Carrow, I have a gift of my own for you." Amycus froze in horror. He didn't like the sound of that at all. He rolled over to see Harry pointing his wand at him, a red gleam in his eye and he knew what was going to happen. He began to scream as Harry uttered the words. "Sectumsempra." The curse hit Amycus and gashes appeared all over his body and he screamed as his blood pooled ontot he floor while his innards tried to escape the gash in his stomach. Blood bubbled out of his mouth as he fell over, dead. He turned to Ginny for approval.

She grinned. "Well done love but I don't think Mr. Malfoy will like all that blood on his carpet."

Malfoy merely shrugged. "It can be cleaned Mrs. Weasley."

Ginny nodded her approval before turning to the Dark Lord. "My Lord, the elf mentioned another conspirator."

Voldemort was interested while Alecto felt a cold weight in her stomach. "Did he now? Elf, who else did you see?"

Dobby gulped as he stepped forward and raised a shaky finger to point to Alecto Carrow.

The cold weight dropped further as she stuttered her defense. "N-n-n-no I tried to stop him!"

Ginny was having none of it. "But you didn't did you bitch! You ran like a coward while your brother tried to murder me! I don't think you get away!" Alecto looked to see both Bellatrix and the Dark Lord grinning madly as Ginny whipped out her wand. "Crucio!" Alecto screamed in pain as the curse ripped through her grotesque body. "What do you think love? How long should I torture her for?"

Harry shrugged. "However long you feel like it Gin."

Ginny was only too happy to oblige and kept the curse going for what seemed like hours for Alecto until finally, the curse was lifted, only to be replaced with a strong blasting curse, blowing the top half of Alecto's body to smithereens.

Ginny sighed. "Well, that was fun while it lasted."

Harry snorted derisively. "It took long enough for them to try something. I was beginning to think they had lost their nerve."

Ginny laughed before Bellatrix cleared her throat, grinning herself. "Wormtail, clean up this mess."

Pettigrew looked indignant. "I don't take orders from you!"

Voldemort sighed in irritation. "Wormtail, clean up the bodies." Wormtail gaped for a moment before doing as he was bid.

Harry looked at the rat. I'm going to kill him one day.

I know love, and I'll be there when you do.

12 Grimmauld Place….

Sirius Black gazed at the Prophet in a mixture of relief and disdain. "I don't know Albus, should I be happy or sad that the Carrows are gone? They were horrible in school and I know they had a love for torture, especially of the young and helpless.

"I cannot tell you how you should feel. I can't say that I am too disappointed about their deaths. However Amycus' replacement may be merely trading one bad with another"

Sirius nodded. "Dolores Umbridge is just as bad from what Amelia tells me if not worse."

Albus looked solemn. "At this point, I'm just as worried about the students now as I was then. Even if Severus had not had to vacate his post, Dolores is a horrible woman and he would be no use."

Sirius frowned. "Speaking of Severus, where is he?"

Albus smiled sadly. "He is making sure he is not being tailed, he may end up here, and I hope you don't mind."

Sirius shrugged. "If I can put up with the Weasleys then it'll be great to have Severus here."

Albus beamed. "We are in your debt once more Sirius." Sirius grunted in mock irritation but one couldn't miss the smile on his face. "Now onto more serious matters, are you going to attend the wedding? Even though you're not a wanted criminal thanks to Harry and Ginny, it may not be a good idea."

Sirius frowned. "I was thinking of going as Padfoot in my animagus form. I know you disagree, but I just can't see myself not going to the wedding of the son of James Potter. That man was like my brother more so than Regulus was. No, I'll go whether I'm wanted or not. I wasn't there for James when he needed me, I'll damn sure be there for my Godson. He didn't rat me out so I take that as a good sign."

Albus sighed but nodded. "Very well then Sirius. He seemed to take to you quite nicely. But still, be careful."

Sirius grinned and nodded. "Oh you know me Albus, careful is my middle name."

Albus couldn't help but smile. "Yes, and so are the words troublemaker and noisemaker."

Sirius barked out a laugh at that.

Malfoy Manor….

"Have you ever heard of her Draco?" Ginny was curious about their new Dark Arts professor, Dolores Umbridge. She didn't have any experience with her but she knew that Lucius always told Draco these things.

The boy in question shrugged. "Father says she's a bit of a sycophant but she's loyal to the ministry and upholds our cause. He says that she's just a temporary solution until they find a more suitable candidate. I've met her once and I don't really like her myself. She looks like an overgrown toad and she has a shady and sneaky look about her. She may try to test Harry just to see if she can get under his skin because, no offense Harry, but you're notoriously short tempered."

Harry snorted. "Like I care, if she crosses me or Ginny I'll make sure she realizes just how short tempered I can be. If there's one thing I can't stand, it's a sycophant that overstates their position. I'll show her how precarious her position is."

Ginny smiled fondly at her fiancé, soon to be husband in less than a month. "Don't worry love, I'm sure she's not that stupid, not that I'd mind seeing you put her in her place."

Draco could only roll his eyes at his friends. "So Ginny, who are the bridesmaids going to be?"

Ginny didn't even have to think about it. "Amy and Astoria. I assume you're Harry's best man?"

Draco nodded and clapped Harry on his shoulder. "Yepp, old Harry here asked me two weeks ago. I'm a little offended he didn't ask me earlier but I won't complain."

Harry shook his head. "Draco it seems like everything offends you."

Draco laughed. "No it doesn't, I just like to act like it does."

Ginny cackled and Harry just rolled his eyes.

Two Weeks before the Wedding, Godric's Hollow….

A pop was heard just outside of Godric's Hollow. Minutes later, two teenagers could be seen walking towards the house at the end of the street. They wore cloaks with hoods over their heads, their faces hidden. The muggles all looked at them fearfully, wondering who they were. Over the years, strange people in cloaks had terrorized the muggle world using strange wooden sticks. What they could do could only be explained with magic which baffled the muggles. They had always thought that magic wasn't real. But over the years since the house at the end of the street had been attacked, things had gotten worse as these people in cloaks with wooden sticks or 'wands' as they had heard the cloaked people refer to them as, attacked more and more cities and muggle establishments. The muggles shuddered as they quickly closed their windows, hoping that this wasn't another attack.

It was in fact, not another attack. Harry Potter and Ginny Weasley (soon to be Potter) were walking toward the old cottage home of the Potters at the end of Godric's Hollow. As Harry pushed open the door, his breathing hitched. He felt the tears threaten to fall as he surveyed the room. He felt the comforting hand of his fiancé on his arm and he immediately calmed down. He calmed his breathing but the emotion was still there. He slowly walked around the room, picking up different objects like photographs. He choked again as he saw a photo of him as a baby being held by the smiling couple that were his parents. After the Dark Lord's victory, the house was left standing as it was so as to signify the victory. Everything was left alone by order of Voldemort.

"How could anyone believe that they'd give me up Gin? Looking at this picture, I just can't believe it?" Harry started choking up again.

"Oh Harry." Ginny hugged him from behind. "They look like they were wonderful people."

Harry nodded. "I'm sorry Gin, I know your parents were horrible, I hope I'm not rubbing it in."

Ginny shook her head vigorously. "No Harry. It's not your fault you were lied to. I love you Harry and I am happy for you and I'm sorry you lost your parents."

Harry turned in her arms to face her. He took her face in his hands and looked at her fiercely. "No Gin! I do not regret what's happened! If he had not targeted my family then we wouldn't be together. Everything happens for a reason love and I believe that Voldemort deciding to take me was the best thing that could've happened. We grew up together because of it and I've loved you for years now. I am happy for the way this happened because considering the alternative, I'm extremely happy with the way my life has turned out and it all leads to you my love." Ginny now had watery eyes and a smile on her face as Harry kissed her.

"Well isn't this lovely?" Harry and Ginny quickly separated, wands in hand, turn to find Sirius Black grinning at them. The couple snorted, pocketing their wands and fought back blushes, causing Sirius to bark in laughter. "Just like James and Lily when they first got together in our seventh year. It was a cute thing to see and I see that in the two of you. It brings back wonderful memories."

Sirius looked wistfully which caused the couple to snort. "What are you doing here Sirius? How did you know we were here?"

Black grinned. "Well I come here all the time to look around and it brings back good memories. It helps to that I have a charm in place to tell me when a Potter comes here. Now I was at first baffled as to why it told me that two Potters were here but I just chalked that up to your bond." He had a rather satisfied grin on his face.

Harry couldn't help but laugh. "I shouldn't be surprised but I am."

Sirius grinned while Ginny rolled her eyes. "What do you want you old hound?"

Sirius' grin faded. "Is it true what they say about the Carrows?"

Harry nodded fiercely. "They tried to poison Ginny so they got exactly what they deserve."

Sirius nodded thoughtfully. "I guess they did. Well I guess it's on now to what I really came here for, to show you something. Follow me."

He led the two teens further back into the house to a door which opened to a flight of stairs which led to the basement. Inside, he pulled to boxes down from a shelf and placed them in front of Harry. "Your parents wanted me to give these to you if anything ever happened to them."

Harry swallowed as he opened the first box which had 'Lily' written on it. He gasped at what he had found. "They're journals!"

Sirius nodded. "Your mother and father felt that if something happened to them, then you should have something to remember them by."

Ginny had a smile on her face as she rubbed Harry's back. She liked to see Harry happy. Sirius cleared his throat and pulled out a small pouch. "Here, we'll shrink these so you can get them past Voldemort." He shrunk the boxes and stowed them away. "Alright now listen closely, Umbridge is a horrible piece of work. Slughorn as your new potions teacher and Head of House will be good, he's a good teacher, better than Snape quite frankly. But Dolores will try to mess with you because you're half-blood so keep your head down. Of course if she does try something then I suppose that Voldemort will have her head but it never hurts to be cautious."

Harry nodded at the advice. "Thank you Sirius, I'll try my level best to stay level."

Sirius smiled at the joke. "Just like your father you are, but a lot like your mother too."

Harry grinned at the compliment.

Malfoy Manor, the Wedding Day…..

The wedding had been beautiful and Ginny had looked beautiful in her black dress. Ginny had refused to wear the traditional white, stating that it would imply that she was sweet and girly and she was anything but. Harry had been perfectly fine with that. He had even joked that it would have implied that she was pure and she was anything but, which had earned him a bat bogey hex. To Harry's credit, he took it on the chin with a grin which only served to annoy Ginny more. "You're such a glutton for punishment."

"Only for you my dear." Ginny just snorted.

After the wedding, Ginny hugged her family, especially Amy. After her goodbyes, she grabbed Harry's hand. "Are you ready love?" Harry smiled, his eyes sparkling. I've been ready since we were children Gin. He gripped her hand and the two apparated to Potter Manor.

When they left, Bellatrix wiped her eyes. "Ah I just love weddings. Alright you morons, get busy I want this place spotless!" The deatheaters scrambled to do as they were told, not wanting to attract the wrath of the crazy woman.

Voldemort chuckled before spotting Peter. "Ah Wormtail, just who I wanted to see, come here."

Pettigrew gulped as he made his way over to his master. "Y-yes my L-lord?"

Voldemort smirked at his servant's cowardice. "I need a favor. The newlyweds left their luggage in their haste to leave. If you will, give them a couple of hours and then deliver their luggage to Potter Manor. Here's the address." He gave Peter a slip of paper that burst into flames after it was read.

Peter nodded. "Y-yes my Lord. It will be d-done."

As he scrambled away, Voldemort grinned as he thought back to his last conversation with Harry only three days before.

Three days before the wedding…..

"You wanted to see me Harry?" Harry nodded at his father.

"I did my Lord."

Voldemort had a feeling he knew what Harry wanted to talk about. It was a conversation he had anticipated for quite some time but he figured he'd give Harry a chance to explain. "Go on then."

Harry nodded as he furrowed his brow as he thought about what he wanted to say before he continued. "I found out about my parents. I know that you killed them to get to me. I know that there was a prophecy that named me as the one to kill you." Harry sighed. "But I also know that you've been nothing but exemplary to me. I know that if I were not with you then I'd either be dead or I'd be with my mother's muggle sister and her whale of a husband. Ginny and I watched them for a day and they are horrible muggles that hate anything to do with magic. They would have had me under lock and key. Quite frankly from what I've seen, plus the fact that they are muggles, I'd rather be dead than left with them. What I'm trying to say is that I'm happy with where I am and with the way things ended. I could never blame you for killing your enemies because you can only build an empire using the blood of your enemies. I do however, have one single request. I want Peter Pettigrew's life. I want the head of the man that betrayed my parents. I don't like traitors and once a traitor, always a traitor."

Voldemort looked thoughtful for a moment before he answered, with a smile on his inhuman face. "Very well Harry, you shall have what you ask for. Call it a wedding present."

Harry grinned. "Thank you father."

Present Day….

Voldemort grinned wider. Indeed, the life of Peter Pettigrew was worthless in the grand scheme of things. He'd much rather keep Harry loyal to him than hold on to a possible traitor. After all, if he would betray his friends, then what would keep Peter from betraying him?

Potter Manor….

Ginny squealed as Harry carried her through the door. "Harry I told you I didn't want to do that!" She couldn't help but grin at having her husband carry her through the door.

Harry smiled right back. "But you knew I was going to do it anyway."

Ginny giggled. "Yes and I can't say that I'm unhappy with it."

Harry grinned even wider as he carried her up the stairs to the master bedroom. As they entered, the first thing Ginny saw was that it was huge compared to the other rooms in the house. It was painted a crimson red with a large four poster bed in the middle of the back wall. As Harry set her down the first thing she noticed about the bed was that it was the most comfortable bed she'd ever been on. She fingered the material as Harry went into the adjacent bathroom to use the loo. She smiled. What are you thinking love?

Ginny smiled wider. I'm just so happy Harry. This is where I've wanted to be at for so long, I've dreamed about this day for so long. Now that it's here, I just can't stop smiling.

I know and I feel the same way Gin. I've waited for so long for this day. I don't think that I've ever imagined myself with anyone else.

Me either Harry.

Lemons ahead….

Harry walked up and started undoing the back of Ginny's dress, helping her pull it off. He stepped back to admire her as she reached back and undid the clasp of her bra before tossing it aside. She looked Harry in the eyes as she shimmied her knickers down and stood before Harry. Harry felt his mouth go a little dry as he looked at her. "Merlin, you're so damn beautiful. How did I get so lucky?" He felt the warmth of her emotions through their bond as he shrugged his dress robes off. Once he was unclothed, he walked up to her and cupped her breast as he captured her lips with his own. Ginny wrapped her arms around him as she moaned into his mouth. He moved down to her breast and took her nipple into his mouth and sucked, causing her to gasp. His hand moved to cup her mound and moved his middle finger into her, pushing it in, making her moan louder.

Ginny moved her hand to his hard cock, grabbing it and stroking it, making him moan onto her breast. As he moved his finger in and out of her, she moved her hand over his penis. After a few minutes of this fore play, Harry moved away and picked her up, placing her on the bed, spreading her legs and getting on his knees and began to feast on her. Her moans got loud and began reverberating off the walls as he French kissed her vagina. After several minutes of this, Harry got up, her juices covering his mouth. He helped her scoot up as he got on the bed in between her creamy thighs. He poised himself at her entrance. "Are you ready love?" Ginny bit her lip and nodded, an eager glint in her eyes as Harry began to push himself into her.

Moments later, the scream of pleasure that could be heard throughout the house made the house elf family that was bound to the Potter family looked up from their preparations for dinner, smiles on their faces as they continued cooking for their master and mistress. They'd need plenty of energy for the night ahead.

End of lemons, two hours later….

Peter Pettigrew cautiously entered the Manor that he had not been inside of since just after Harry had been born. He gulped as laughter sounded from the staircase as he spotted Harry and a robed Ginny enter the room from the stairs. "Ah Pettigrew, there you are. Father mentioned that you'd bring our luggage. I must say that you have good timing." Harry grinned at Ginny and Peter had to resist the urge to roll his eyes. Just like James. "How about a drink before you leave Wormtail." It was a statement not a question. Harry left no room for argument. Pettigrew gulped as he followed the newlywed couple to the bar and pulled out a bottle of Ogden's Firewhiskey and poured up three glasses. After the toast, Peter threw it back and downed the whole glass. It was only after he set his glass down that he saw the red gleam in Harry's eyes and the mad gleam in Ginny's. He noticed that neither had touched their glasses. Fear began to build as a strange sensation coursed throughout his body. He stepped backward a few steps and was frozen by a rune that began to light up. He looked up in fear. "You're probably wondering what's happening right now. You see, I ran into an old friend of yours while I was at the burrow last school year. You know him as Padfoot, I know him as my godfather. He allowed me into his mind and inside, it showed me your treachery. I don't like traitors Peter. So what I've done is ensure that you won't be given the chance to betray our Lord."

"I-I-I would n-never b-betray our l-lord!"

Harry chuckled. "Oh I know that, you're far too cowardly to do that. I only told him that so that he'd give you to me as a wedding present. This is for my parents whose trust you betrayed and in doing so, you also betrayed my own trust. If the Dark Lord were not merciful, I'd be dead right now."

Ginny spoke up. "And that gives me plenty of cause to hate you, along with your wandering eyes. I've seen you staring at me Peter, and I must say I'm disgusted that you would dare place your traitorous eyes on me. Know this, Harry's eyes are the only eyes with any right to my body, and I'm going to start enforcing that more often, especially now that we're married. Now as to what you drank. It forces you into your animagus form. No doubt you've noticed that you've lost the ability at human speech as your body begins to shrink. The rune, will make the change permanent after I place a drop of blood on it, your blood." With that, she pulled a dagger and cut Peter, allowing the blood to drip onto the rune, causing it to glow as the transformation sped up and soon, a rat sat before them. The rune glowed red and dissipated as the transformation was made permanent. The rat squeaked in fear as he recognized the hissing he suddenly heard from Harry, he had heard it from his master on many occasions.

Gini, time to feed.

He saw Both Naga and Gini come from their masters' sleeves and head towards him. He ran but was stopped short as Ginny sealed the room. Before he could turn he found himself trapped in Naga's coils but he wouldn't strike, he waited as Gini approached. When she was close enough, Naga loosened up enough to let Peter free but he didn't get far before Gini struck, injecting him with her paralytic venom. As he venom took effect, Peter had one memory on his mind of a night after an Order meeting, a conversation with his old friends at Headquarters.

July 1981…

"Can you believe that Harry is about to turn 1 in a week Prongs?"

James grinned at Padfoot. "I know! I guess time really does fly when you're having fun!" Lily rolled her eyes but had a smile on her face as she cooed at Harry, who was grinning at his mother.

Sirius turned serious. "I wonder who the traitor is that Albus talked about."

Amelia shrugged. "I don't know, but this prophecy that Albus spoke of, the one that either refers to Harry or the Longbottom boy, it's got me worried. When are you guys going in to hiding?"

Lily and James looked at each other. "Tomorrow night."

It was a somber mood that permeated the group before Sirius grinned. "Well whoever the traitor is, better watch out!"

James smiled. "Yepp, if anything happens to us, Harry here will avenge his poor father! Ow Lily, I meant us!" He grinned sheepishly at Lily after she elbowed him. He leaned toward Sirius. "Even though his first word was DaDa."

Sirius grinned. "I can't wait to see what our baby's first word will be!" He put an arm around his pregnant wife.

Lily smiled until she looked at Peter. "Peter, are you ok? You look a little pale."

Peter waved her off. "No, no Lilly, I'm fine. Just a little tired is all."

Amelia narrowed her eyes at him but he ignored it. Sirius didn't notice and grinned at him. "Don't worry Wormtail, between us, we can take any traitor that would dare try us." Peter laughed along with him but he wasn't feeling it. He kept thinking about what James had said about vengeance, even though it had been a joke. He brushed it off but couldn't help feeling guilty for what he had to do.

Present Day….

Wormtail had to chuckle somberly to himself as Gini began to swallow him whole. I'm sorry James, Lily. I hope you can forgive me for what I've done.

As Naga lay with his mate in the corner while she digested her food, Harry and Ginny walked upstairs, satisfied smiles on their faces. "Well, I must say that was very satisfying."

Ginny nodded in agreement. "I'm very glad that you're happy Harry, and that's one less set of eyes to look at me like I'm some piece of meat." She said the last bit with disgust in her voice.

"Don't worry love, anyone that dares to look at you in any way that you or I don't approve of, they'll pay dearly for it."

Ginny smiled at her husband and kissed him.

Harry grinned. "You know love, we still have a couple of hours before dinner is ready."

He laughed as Ginny hauled him up the stairs and into the room. Thank goodness the potion lasts all day. He heard Ginny laugh in his mind. I love you Ginny.

I love you too Harry!

Whew that was long! I meant to have this up days ago but my One Drive (Microsoft program) wouldn't save the changes to the document. I had over 4000 words in the previous two versions so that's about 2000 words lost but I must say, I like this version much more. There's more detail and it's much better quality wise than the previous two versions. I just hope that I'm right and it's a Microsoft problem with that program and not a Microsoft problem with every program. So here's hoping that this saves so I can bring you all the chapter you all deserve! Anyway, if you guys have any questions, concerns, or praises, feel free to PM me or drop a review! I hope you all enjoy this chapter and have a wonderful weekend! I know that I will! Peace out!
