Chapter 2
A pair of familiar looking people made their way down the street as Harry walked along. He flinched when his gaze met Ginny's and she smirked at him. Her red hair was pinned up in a bun, a few strands loose and framing her face. She was with their kids, the kids that she had wanted to claim ownership of even though Harry was doing all that he could to take them back. The familiar heads of Albus, James, and Lily caught his eye.
"Dad!" Came the surprised shout of Albus as his eyes fell of the male's form. Harry grinned as the three all turned to him and bolted forward, slipping past people so that they could reach their father. A flash of emotion was shown on Ginny's face, causing Harry to flinch. He nonetheless wrapped his arms around the young trio.
"Hey guys, how're you doing?" Lily stepped back and shot a nervous look at their mother as she made her way over. A light frown graced Harry's lips. "That bad huh? Well don't worry, because soon you guys will be living with me and we can do whatever you want."
Their features brightened and Ginny finally reached them, resting a hand on James' shoulder. Her eyes glinted dangerously as she peered down at the group.
"What's going on over here guys? Haven't seen you in a while Mr. Potter." She rested her fists on the sides of her hip, raising an eyebrow.
"Hullo Ginny, how are you doing?" Harry asked, slowly standing up and meeting her brown eyes. Her brown orbs flashed dangerously and she smiled.
"I've been fine Harry, just taking the my kids out, school will be starting soon so I want them to have everything that they need for their classes." Harry's expression brightened immediately.
"I'm glad school is starting soon, Draco is the potions professor now you know, and McGonagall says that if I want I could teach as well. Neville 'll be there." He watched as Ginny's eyes narrowed.
"Why would you have any reason to teach at Hogwarts? Didn't you want to be an auror?" She asked, crossing her arms over her chest. Harry shrugged and glanced down at the kids, as soon as he saw the look on their faces, he grinned at them.
"I see no reason nat too. Defence against the Dark Arts was my best subject, and the class is basically "jinxed". So with Voldemort gone, I-" He shrugged once again. "I don't want to be an auror anymore, and I need a way to pay for the kids."
Albus grinned and tugged on Harry's sleeve. Harry immediately leaned down and turned his attention to his youngest son. "Dad, I think it would be awesome if you worked at Hogwarts. Because then we would be able to see you every day, and we don't see you too much right now." Harry flinched but nodded.
"Yeah, I was planning on telling McGonagall that I accept teaching at Hogwarts. Sorry to have to leave you guys, I have plans for tonight." He stood once again and straightened his closed, raising his wrist to check the time. He narrowed his eyes and ruffled the hair on James' head. "Hey Lily, I saw the most amazing thing the other day. There was this-"
"Sorry Harry, but we have to get going, and you should too if you want to make it on time to whatever it is that you're heading too." Harry paused and tightened his jaw, meeting Ginny's eyes and trying to ignore the memories of the never ending arguments that they had. All of the scars he had that littered his body from the spells that she had flung at him while the kids were asleep. Harry shook his head, dark locks covering his face as he turned away from Ginny.
"Yeah sure, see you kiddos later." Then he aparated away, to his apartment.
