Harry joined Ginny a short time into the luncheon. She smiled at him as she sat down.

"Hey Harry, what did Kingsley want?" She asked as he started to load up his plate. He smiled up at her before replying.

"He was actually asking me to assist with the capture of the other Death Eaters. The Auror Office is short on manpower and they need help. He is also extending this offer to other seventeen year olds that took place in the battle."

Ginny smiled. "Must have given you a sweet offer to get you to agree."

Harry finished loading his plate but paused before taking a bite. He looked over at Ron and Hermione as they joined them at the table. "He offered to let me be the one to arrest Umbridge."

Ron reached over and clasped him on the shoulder. "That's excellent mate. If anyone should bring that slag to justice, it's you."

"Ronald!" Ginny scolded in her best impression of Molly. "What your tongue or you will be grounded."

Ron snorted. "What would she even ground me from now? I'm seventeen."

A voice behind him says. "No Hermione for a week."

Hermione looked up shocked. "No Hermione?"

George, pushing himself between Ron and Hermione, sat down. "No Hermione! That is what she will ground you with, Ron."

Ron pulled his older brother into a hug and George hugged him back. Harry and Ginny got up and circled around to join the hug, with Hermione joining in last.

"Thanks, guys. I am not going to pretend as if I am all right. However, Freddie, he would not want me to stay in my room when there is work to be done and jokes to be played. So, I'm back to active duty. Ron, would you be willing to come to Diagon Alley with me and help set the shop to rights?"

Harry saw his best friend nod. "Sure, George. If you're ready for that."

George nodded. "I would ask Harry as well, but I heard the think about Umbridge. That is way more important, mate. I heard the things she did this last year. Put her behind bars."

"I plan too." He nodded. "However, I would like to help out in some way. Maybe I could ask your landlord to give you a break on the rent."

George laughed; it was good to hear again. "Oh please. The rent is paid to some rich kid with a trust fund. It is all-automatic and set by the goblins. Will be until he is of age. Even Harry Potter could not use his clout for that."

Harry saw Ginny grin evilly, he had told her about the deed among the other things in the Potter vault.

"Aye, you were correct about that. Except that very rich orphan turned seventeen last July. So he can decide if you are paying rent or not."

George blanched as he realized what Harry was hinting at. "The Potter Estate owns the site of our shop? Not just satisfied with giving his our starting funds, were you Potter?"

Harry laughed as he sat down next to Ginny again. "If it helps, I only found out the other day when I visited the bank. I'll take care of the rent for say a year. After that, we can negotiate a price to sell you the deed if you want."

George's smile returned. "I think at least for a while, I will remain your tenant, Mister Potter. After all, we are particularly family. I'm sure you would not take advantage of family."

Ginny was the one to respond. "I think it is safe to say after all those years of wanting a family, he won't do that. Though he might be sick of us, by the end of summer."

Ron looked up at them. "Did Harry not tell you about the property he owns in addition to Grimwald place, Ginny? He was talking about moving into a flat in London for a while."

This had been planned to help divert the others, though the look Hermione was giving them was shrewd.

"No, but it does sound like a good idea. Get a personal space he can go to if things get too much. I know I wish I could do that, sometimes. I love my family but sometimes you all can be overwhelming."

George laughed again. "We say the same thing about you, little sister."

They finished their lunch and returned to their work. Once the graves were finished, Harry and Ginny were released for the day. They did not immediately return to the Burrow, but instead chose to go to their secret spot. After using various privacy charms to insure they would not be found, they snuggled down against the tree, Ginny laying on his chest.

"So, what do you really think about Kingsley's offer?" Harry asked Ginny.

"I agree with George, Harry. That woman needs to be behind bars. Working with the Auror office now will look great on your resume when you apply for a job with them as well. Who knows, the Head of Magical Law Enforcement might just invite you to join up if you do well enough. I think you should do it. As long as we stay firmly as a couple throughout."

Harry chuckled and pressed a kiss to the top of her head. "I never intend to leave you again, Gin. If I have to go somewhere, I will take you with me in my heart and I will return to your side just as soon as I can. Would you really be alright with me skipping Hogwarts and going straight to work as an Auror."

Ginny shrugged. "I'm not going to pretend like I won't miss you or it won't suck. Cause both of those things will be true. But this is something you need to do. I will support whatever choice you make and I'll be sending you letters all the time."

Harry nodded. "I will of course, send my own share. Looks like we will need to spend way more of the summer sneaking around together so we can be ready for September First."

Ginny turned and straddled Harry's lap. "I don't think any amount of fooling around will be enough. However, I am willing to try."

Harry leaned in, preparing to kiss her. "Music to my ears."

They lost the rest of that afternoon as they kissed, touched, and simply expressed their feelings towards one another. When they finally got up, they tidied themselves up and Harry snuck away with the Invisibility Cloak. Ron and Hermione found her sitting on the tree and looking over the lake.

"Where's Harry?" Ron asked, his voice hopeful.

Ginny smiled up at them. "He wanted to take a walk around the grounds. With the offer the Minister made, he does not know the next time he will be here. I've just been sitting here in thought."

Her brother seemed disappointed but it was best to keep him in suspense. She stood up and brushed the grass from her jeans.

"Come on." Hermione took Ron's hand. "Let's return to the Burrow. Harry will join us when he is ready."

The three of them headed back. In the next week, they returned for the memorial service. It was a somber but beautiful event. The heroes of the Battle of Hogwarts were lowered into the graves she and Harry had made. Harry had given a speech and everyone had applauded. Then they had returned home with a Molly Weasley whom was back to handling the affairs of the house. Everything was normal, although Harry and Ginny kept their relationship secret. Then the day of Harry's move came.
