Chapter 10: Money Money Money

"What do you mean you were with your mum?" Ginny said nervously.

"Well when I woke up I was in this field, one I have recognized from Snape's memories. And my mom appeared. She said her, and my dad and Sirius were fighting over who would get to talk to me. Again, I was given a choice whether to stay or live on. But she encouraged me to live and enjoy my life. We talked about my life, and other things. She said she was so proud of me and loved the family I have created here. She said her and dad are beyond happy that I have found a mum and dad to love me. And she also said I have fallen right in line with the Potter curse of falling in love with a red head." Ginny smiled at this, and gave him a sweet kiss. "She said her and Dad more than approved of my love."

"I'm so glad. But you scared the living daylights out of me! No more dying for you Mister!" Ginny said with tears in her eyes. Harry nodded and kissed her gently.

"One good thing did come from what happened. Professor McGonagall and Professor Slughorn went to check out the room after the incident and all seemed well and in order." Hermione said fiddling with her fingers. Harry reached a hand out indicating he wanted to grab her hand. She moved forward and grasped his hand, as soon as they made contact Hermione succumbed to her tears and emotions. "I'm so sorry, Harry. When the dark magic hit you I didn't know what to do. I was so scared. You pushed me away to protect me and it should have been me." Ron and Ginny started to protest her statement but Harry silenced them all.

"Hermione, I am thankful it wasn't you. Thank you for being there with me. I love you, Hermione. You are the best sister I could ever ask for. Please let go of this guilt." He said it softly while staring intently into her eyes. He was very quickly coughing and gasping for air as he was tackled into a bear hug. Ginny shrieked with wide eyes as she was launched from the bed due to Hermione's forceful hug but she smiled at the two all the same.

At that moment the door to Harry's room opened and the healer walked in. He did a couple scans and exams to ensure Harry had no lingering ailments and cleared him to go home.

As soon as the four of them stumbled through the floo network to the Burrow, Ginny was once again shoved aside so Molly could give Harry a hug.

"Let the man breathe!" Ron said as he dusted himself off.

"You gave us quite the fright, Harry. Now, I am going to prepare all of your favorite dishes for you. Go on upstairs and rest some." She gave him a pat on the cheek and sent them on their way.

Harry entered his room and sat on his bed. His girlfriend had seemingly disappeared for a moment and his best friends followed in after him. "Glad you are alright, mate. Try not to scare us again, alright?" Ron said, and Harry nodded. Just then Ginny appeared with a couple thick letters and handed them to Harry. "Hermione, why don't we give Harry some privacy to read his mail." Hermione looked shocked at Ron's mature statement and waved the other couple goodbye as she was ushered out of the room.

"These were actually delivered at the hospital but I brought them home so you could read them when you got home." Ginny hesitated, "I can go and give you some privacy if you would like."

"Don't be silly, come sit with me." He smiled warmly and gestured for her to sit close to him. She smiled and quickly snuggled in close as he observed the first letter which was from the Minister of Magic.

"Dear Harry,

I hope you have been resting well since the end of the battle. I know this world has asked far too much of you already but I was hoping I could meet with you to discuss the trials of certain Death Eaters as well as your plans for the future. Please send an owl to my office with your response as well as some times that work best for you. Please bring Hermione and Ron with you. Thank you

Kingsley Shacklbolt

Minister of Magic"

Another letter from the Minister was next and it was a quick apology after hearing Harry had been hospitalized and to take his time responding. Finally was a thick envelope from Gringott's bank.

"To the account holder: Harry James Potter

Dear Mr. Potter,

We are writing to you as a formality. We wish to discuss with you your relationship with Gringott's Bank going forward since the break in and damages you have caused to our facility. As well we would like to discuss further your full inheritance which you were to receive upon your seventeenth birthday. Due to the war this process was delayed. Attached you will find a detailed list of the contents of your vault which now include the full contents of the Potter family vault as well as the Black family vault. Please see to it that you come to the bank on June 29th at 9:00 am.

Management at Gringott's bank"\

The corresponding paperwork included deeds to properties, such as 12 Grimmauld Place and the house in Godric's Hollow. It listed his trust fund which contained a million galleons. And both the Black family vault and the Potter vault valued over 3 billion galleons together. It also listed several pieces of jewelry including his parents wedding bands and his mum's engagement ring.

"Harry! Your parents owned the land that the Burrow is on, look!" Ginny posted to a listing. "And the flat that George lives in!" Harry was stunned speechless by these findings and he felt a tad embarrassed. "Oh Harry, please don't be embarrassed. I know how rich the Black family is, and one can only assume that the Potter family has it's wealth too. They are one of the oldest wizarding families. Not to mention Fleamont Potter's hair potion! You know I am not with you for the money, right?"

"Of course I know that. I just…I never knew. I knew my parents had a main vault other than my trust fund but I never knew it was this extensive. And you know we could live off of this for a hundred lifetimes and never work. I think George is going to be really happy about his new rental agreement coming as well as your parents." Harry said looking at the love of his life.

"Oh mum and dad will be so happy, mind you they'll likely go spare at the idea of a hand out. But in the end she will be so happy. Think of the money they could save to update the Burrow or take vacations." Ginny said excitedly. Harry chuckled and put the papers aside. As he looked at the clock he realized it was 3 in the afternoon. "I suppose we should go tell Ron and Hermione about the meeting with Kingsley and send him a let…"

Ginny was caught off by Harry's lips capturing hers in a tender kiss. She moaned softly and pulled him closer, wrapping her arms around his neck. His hands came around her waist and he ran his hands down her hips and her thighs. She pulled away breathlessly and smiled. "Or we can do this for awhile…" Harry laughed into her lips as she kissed him with passion, pushing them both down onto the bed. It felt like they had been kissing and exploring their bodies over their clothes forever when there was a knock on Harry's door. The pair quickly popped up into a sitting position and fixed up their clothing.

"Come in!" Harry said as he embarrassingly reached to put a pillow in his lap to cover up his very obvious excitement. Ginny couldn't help but giggle softly. As the door opened it revealed Molly Weasley.

"Hello dears, I was just coming to check on how Harry was feeling. Now I forbid Harry from doing any kind of work today, so Ginny I need you downstairs to help me with dinner. If you are feeling up to it, Arthur would like to speak to you and Ron in the shed." She said the last part pointedly at Harry. Just beyond Molly they could see a blushing and embarrassed Hermione standing in the hallway. "Go on girls, the potatoes won't peel themselves!"

Harry had a feeling his best friends were caught doing something scandalous and he was in for a long awkward chat with his girlfriend's father…
