Prologue It had been six years since the Triwizard tournament. And Harry and company are all out of Hogwarts. Dumbledore still runs the school with his same stubborn caring personality. Hagrid stayed on as gamekeeper after marrying Madame Maxime. They still own the same rickety old hut which has been bewitched to hold his small family. Madame Maxime and Hagrid have had two beautiful children. A boy and a girl who both attended Hogwarts. There names are Porthos and Alexia. Alexia is a year older then Porthos and is now in her second year at Hogwarts. While Porthos is now in his first. Madame Maxime retired early from Beaubatons to care for the children while Hagrid covered his grounds work and his classes. Sirius Black was dropped of all charges when Peter Petigrew was spotted by the minister of magic Percy Weasley in his third year third year of office. He was elected when Cornelius Fudge went missing. Sirius Black is now living with a Professor Remus Lupin. They own a small home in Godric hollow and are presently working as teachers. They both are teaching Defense Against the Dark Arts in Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Voldemort the Dark Lord is presently in hiding after a battalion of Aurors discovered his hide out and infiltrated it. Many Death Eater's were captured and no Auror's were injured. He had a fearless battle with the Captain of the Auror's Harry Potter. Harry and Voldemort both locked wands and dazzled on watcher's miles away with bright lights and explosions. Voldemort was defeated though and fled again. The boy who lived is now a man and the man that lived defeated Voldemort. Voldemort is still out there though. Biding his time gaining strength. People dread as they wait to see if the Dark Lord will rise again. The fear surrounding his name however has been dropped from habit as the young minister said his name during a large press meeting and the paper's quoted the dark lord's name. Harry Potter on the other hand is enjoying his time. He plays Quidditch for England in the summer. While he is still Captain of the Aurors. His best friend Ronald Weasley is now Head Sergeant of WBI (Wizardry Bureau of Investigations). While Harry's other good friend Hermione Granger is a world renowned writer of the Book's Flamel's Stone ,The Hidden Chamber, The Unknown Rat, and The Death of a Hufflepuff. All of these stories are based on real life event's that her and her friends endured during there years at Hogwarts. She is currently working on the next three stories of this amazing series that leaves children and adults befuddled at the adventurous and scary adventures that her and her friends were involved in. She even sells them to the Muggle world all though they all think that she just has a creative imagination. (If they only knew.) Hermione and Ronald Weasley are currently engaged and are settling down in a three floor flat. Virginia Weasley or known as (Ginny Weasley) is a thriving music star and the owner of the popular pub The Three Broomsticks. She has transformed the small pub into a large dinner. There is a small stage in which they play live music and stand up comedy. Hermione Granger also makes appearance's there to read her stories to the children and sign autograph's. They are right next door to the largely known joke shop Weasley's Wizards Wheezes. That are owned by her twin brother's Fred and George Weasley. Both are married. Fred married Alicia Spinnet while George married Katie Bell. Both families don't have children but are planning to have children one day. The students of Hogwarts enjoy the fact that they can come enjoy a smooth butterbeer with friends while listening to music and then go next door to get the famous Ton Tongue Toffees and Canary Creams. Ms.Weasley is currently seeing Mr.Potter. The Minister of Magic Percy Weasley is currently married to a Mrs. Phenelope Clearwater. Now her name is Phenelope Weasley. Phenelope is a Robes Designer who works out of her home. They have five small children ranging in ages 1-10. The oldest is Madison Weasley he is ten years old. The second oldest is Lilith Weasley she is eight. The third are twins Sarah and Steven Weasley they are five. And the youngest is Angel she is only one year old. She was named Angel after an incident at the hospital. A Death Eater looking to assassinate the Minister of Magic broke into the hospital and tried to kill Percy and his wife when she was in labor. Luckily Harry Potter and Ronald Weasley were there too stop the man before he caused any serious injuries. Only a nurse was injured when the Death Eater barged into the delivery room. Lee Jordan is the Head of the Magical Games Department after assisting Ludo Bagman for a year. Lee is married to Angelina Johnson. They have only been married for a year now and Angelina is currently pregnant. She works for the WBI as well but is only an agent. Lee has brought such games back as StichStock and Shuntbumps. His solution to the danger of Shuntbumps was to instead of hitting each other off the broom by jousting you instead use a quaffle too knock each other out of the air. This is played by many children throughout the Magical community and they even hold a Shutbumps competition between schools. So far Hogwarts is undefeated. Arthur Weasley is now second in command of all the the Ministry Department. He deals mainly in the situation with muggle relations. Molly Weasley is still a housewife but now owns a large estate. They added onto the famous Burrow by making it into a Mansion and now hold a multi-million dollar company selling self washing dishes. Oliver Wood is the owner of three major Quidditch teams and has brought them all great victories. After playing keeper for three years on the Caerphilly Catapults, after his schooling at Hogwarts he got a once in a life time opportunity investment with a Canadian Quidditch Captain. He got to Co-Own the Moose Jaw Meteorites. After bringing them to an out standing victory in the European National Cup he was able to buy the Chudley Cannon's. Brining them to victory in the Asian Finals and finally buying Appleby Arrows. They soon crushed the Quidditch Annual England Cup brining the old Appleby supporter's back into full swing. Bill Weasley now owns Gringott's Wizardry Bank. He has made some partnership's with Canadian and American Wizardry Banks and now hold's a new international safe deposit bank called Gringnott's. They are completely protected by a secret keeper charm. The bank is not at liberty to discuss the nature of this but can assure you all that the secret keeper is an individual who is in no state to tell anyone. Many think it is a hermit or a dead bank official but the bank strongly prohibits any official goblin to tell reporters and magical personnel anything. Charlie Weasley is greatly known as the only Wizard to ever make a Wizardry Zoo. This Zoo hold's every single magical specie including muggle animals. The biggest attraction in the Zoo is of course the Lethifold. This dangerous killing animal is said to be the shadowy beast. This creature was once thought of that it could never be captured or even tracked down since it leaves no clues. But this young Dragon Slayer (not really) found a spell that could temporarily stun a Lethifold when it passed an area. He devised a plan by sleeping out in the tropical forest with nothing but the charm to protect him. He waited for three days until the hellish creature emerged and was stunned long enough for him to capture it. From then on no other Wizards have attempted it, fearing that the stunning spell wouldn't work. Charlie was also able to capture a Basilisk thought to be extinct for centuries. He in fact has put an unbreakable shielding charm over it's eyes making it impossible for anyone to look at it's lethal stare. The Basilisk is under great security for fear that it could brake out but Charlie has a assured many that the king serpent will not escape. Draco Malfoy is also an Auror. He changed his ways when his father Lucius Malfoy was murdered by Voldemort himself for not capturing Harry in his sixth year. Malfoy first felt resentment for Harry but later grew out of it after realizing his true enemy was Lord Voldemort. Draco Malfoy is now one of the top Auror's. He is currently dating a young girl named Serafina Talonsoft. Draco is also working on finding the ninth use of Dragon's Blood having a theory of bringing back the dead for one full hour. They are only theories though and most Wizards and Witches are quite skeptical. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Chapter 1 Invitation. "Mr.Potter you have a call on fire five." said a high pitched voice from the doorway. "Thank-you Hannah!" Harry said from his desk. Harry flicked his wand at the fireplace as he slid a pile of parchment out of the way. "Ginny darling do you miss me already." Harry said jokingly taking a quick look at the beautiful head in his fireplace. "Of Course Harry everyone knows that I can't keep my eye's mind or hands off of you." she gave him a cheeky grin that made her seem like a cute five year old. "What's up?" Harry said shuffling more parchment out of his way. "Nothing much hun. I'm just here to tell you that me and Hermione picked out a wedding band for Ron. And we wanted a male's perspective." She said giving him another angelic grin. "Sure." Harry responded flicking more parchment out of the way. "Hold on one sec." Ginny said disappearing from view. Harry took this opportunity to get up and shove some more parchment out of the way. He really needed a filing cabinet. He busied himself by magicking a broom out of thin air and sweping the paper to the left hand corner. Ginny reappeared with the wedding band clutched in her mouth. "Fhere." she said in a muffled voice. Harry chuckled at her as she tried to hold the band in her mouth. "Fhake nit" she exclaimed. "Oh calm yourself." Harry said through chuckles. He took the wedding band out of her mouth and she sighed. "Good thing I love you." she said trying to look angry but failing miserably. He chuckled again as he stared at the ring. "Look's nice." he said rubbing his chin. The band was pure gold with an engraving on it. The engraving was with writing that glittered and changed color. The engraving read. You hold my heart as I hold yours. "I love it." Harry exclaimed. "That's what we thought." Ginny said smugly. "Oh really who picked it out?" Harry said smiling as he raised his brow. "Oh it was.....the jeweler." Ginny said looking down. Harry laughed and walked to the fire. He knelt down and kissed her forehead while the fire tickled his chin. "Awww. Look's like the two love bird's can't keep there hands off each other." said a mock motherly voice from behind them. Harry smirked as he turned around to face Draco Malfoy. "Hello Draco." Harry said standing up. "Hello Harry. Hi Gin!" Draco said enthusiastically. Ginny blushed at being interrupted while kissing Harry but smiled her reply. "So what's new Draco?" Harry asked as he walked back over to the desk. "Nothing much. I just came to see you about the....Errr...item in vault 1858." Draco said in a hushed voice with a big grin. "Oh I know what your talking about. Thanks!" Ginny looked from one to the other. "What's in vault 1858?" She asked in a quizzical demeanor. "Nothing." They both said in unison. Ginny narrowed her eye's. "This better not have to deal with Voldemort. Harry you promised me that he's done with." Ginny said looking at him with pleading eyes. "It's not about Voldemort Gin. But I can't tell you what it is either." He smiled at her."Harry Potter you better tell me RIGHT NOW OR YOU'LL BE SLEEPING ON THE COUCH." Ginny said glaring at him. "Okay. That's my cue to leave." Draco said holding back a laugh. "Bye Draco." Harry said waving. "Bye. Be kind to him Gin." Draco said before leaving. Bye Draco." Ginny said in return. "Draco's right be kind to me." Harry shot her a mischievous grin. "Argh. Fine then if you won't tell me then I'm not giving you my birthday surprise that I just picked up for you. You'll have to wait.....till tomorrow." She looked frustrated at the time of the month. Harry laughed. "Thanks hun. And you'll find out what the item is in vault 1858 soon enough." Harry shot her yet another mischievous grin and she couldn't help but smile. "Okay love but don't forget where going over to Lee and Angelina's tonight." Ginny looked at him with bright eyes. "When has this arrangement took place?" Harry said laughing. "Well me and Herm met Angelina,Katie and Alicia at Flourish and Blotts. So we decided to throw a party." Ginny said brightly. "Oh alright. It's not like I can say no to a face like that." Harry beamed at her. "Oh and Harry." "Yes." "Would you mind if Hermione got the ring back, after all she needs the groom to wear it." Ginny said sweetly. Harry laughed for he had been playing with it in his hand absent mindfully. "Here you go sweaty." He said as he walked over the the fire place and put the ring between her teeth. "Whaf sno liss." she said when he began to rise. Harry just smiled and bent back down kissing her forehead. "Fanks fun." She said as her head disappeared with a "pop". Harry just shook his head laughing. He began to shuffle the parchment's he still had on his desk when he came across a piece that caught his eye. It was a newspaper clipping. He stared at the picture on the front it was of the Dark Mark. "Damn those Death Eater's." Harry muttered to himself. The Death Eater's have been killing muggle's and wizards and witches ever since the down fall of Voldemort. "Why? Why? Why?" He muttered over and over again rubbing his temples. He slumped back into his chair and rubbed his forehead. He traced the lightening bolt scar on his head with a finger. The scar hadn't hurt or hadn't gone away in the years that have passed since the Dark Lord's downfall. "Mr.Potter." "Yes Hannah." "Mr.Malfoy requests your presence in his office." "Alright Hannah. Once I leave you can lock up and go home early ok." Harry said standing up and flicking his wand at the leather jacket he had on the coat rack. (He hadn't worn robes for the longest time. Since when he was chasing a Death Eater he tripped and nearly lost him.) "Thank-you so much Harry. After all my husband Terry asked me if I wanted to go to the restaurant tonight for diner but I said I couldn't since I had to work my regular time. Thanks so much." Hannah said still hidden behind the wall. Terry Boot is Hannah's husband and work's as Head of the Special Event Comity so he has a lot of free time on his hand but still is placed at a respectful position in the Ministry. "Say hi too him for me." Harry said as he stuffed his left arm into the sleeve. Harry walked out of his office and waved good-bye to Hannah. He walked down the hall with the purple velvet floor until he reached the green velvet. He turned and walked down the green velvet hall until reached office 98721. he knocked and was soon answered by a muffled "Comin." Harry pushed the door open and nearly laughed at the sight that was lain before him. Malfoy had his jacket on backwards. "Damn muggle clothing." Malfoy said in a frustrated tone. Harry laughed and stepped in. "Did you know you have to wear atleast four particles of clothing!" he said in an exasperated tone. "Yes I do know that, but I also know that they have to be on right aswell." Harry said struggling back a laugh. "OH SHUT UP! I seriously don't know how you wear these clothes everyday." Malfoy said talking in his cool tone. "It's easy all you have to do is look at the tag and the tag always is facing back." Harry said simply. Malfoy muttered something about 'smart ass' and 'stupid Harry Potter all famous enough that he knows how to put on muggle clothing.' Harry just laughed and settled himself by the fire. "How are you not uncomfortable in those." Draco muttered as he slipped on the next shirt. Harry was dressed in jeans and a black muscle shirt which accented him perfectly by showed off his large muscular chest. He also wore his black leather coat and dragon hide boots that he got from Bill one year. "I like these clothes." Harry stated doing a mock twirl. Malfoy smirked muttering 'show off' and was just putting on his shoes when a knock at the door had them both looking up. Harry grabbed his wand out of his back pocket and nodded for Draco to answer the door. Draco responded "One moment" and quickly tied up his sneakers. He walked over to the door and shot a nervous glance at Harry. Harry nodded once more and Draco slowly turned the door knob. Blasts of yellow charms bounced off the walls and Harry and Malfoy collapsed on the floor...laughing. "DAMNIT GEORGE!" Harry yelled through laughter. "JESUS FRED! DO WE ALWAYS HAVE TO ARM OURSELVES WHEN YOU COME OVER!" Malfoy said through fit's of laughter. "Sorry Chaps. I guess we must have forgotten that you can't beat us at tickling charms." Fred said grinning as he flicked his wand at Malfoy. "Quite right brother." George said flicking his wand at Harry. "It's Harry's fault he's was suppose to cover me. What if they were Death Eater's?" Draco said glaring at Harry. "Yeah Harry. What if we were Death Eater's?" George and Fred said together mocking Malfoy. "Oh Shut Up You two!" Malfoy said walking away to get his jacket on the coat rack. "Nice hair George." Harry said laughing while he brushed soot from the fireplace off of him. George had his hair done in a ponytail like Bill while Fred has short hair that's kind of spiked. "Well we had to think of something. Katie was getting pissed when she came home and kissed Fred." George said in a half laugh half serious approach. "And Alicia almost went to bed with Goerge when she came home at midnight." Fred said shooting a sideways glance at his brother. Harry laughed and Malfoy returned with his jacket. "Okay let's go. Are you going to pick up Serafina, Draco?" Harry asked as they walked out of his office and Malfoy locked the door. "Yep. She called me only a few moments after I left and said Hermione invited us to a diner party at Lee's" Draco said as they rounded a corner. "That's what I was going to ask you guys would you mind if I stopped off at Gringnott's. I have to pick something up." Harry glanced at Malfoy who smiled at him. "Sure but what are you picking up?" George asked. "Oh Nothing. Is Ron coming to the party?" Harry quickly asked changing the subject. "Yes, But that's not the point what are you picking up at Gringnott's?" Fred asked. "Wonderful! Tell Ron I said Hi and I'll see him at the party." Harry said appaparating with a pop. "That man is always hiding something." Fred said eyeing the gap where Harry used to be. "He's got a lot on his mind." Draco said looking at the twins with a grin. "Oh really. Tell us or you won't be able to stop laughing for a month." Fred said pointing his wand at Draco. "AHHH! Okay okay! Harry's picking up an engagement ring for Ginny. But don't mention it to anyone only me Ron and you two know so far." Draco said holding up his hands in surrender. "Your lucky I'm a nice guy that doesn't do pranks." George said putting away his wand. "But you do, do pranks." Malfoy said eye's widening at his own stupidity. "Good point." Fred said pointing his wand and shooting a yellow gleam out of the tip. Draco fell to the ground in hysterics. "Fool." They muttered appaparating. "Hey WAIT FOR ME!" Draco hollered appaparating himself. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Author's note: So what did you think of it?

Harry looked up to the scratchy voice breaking into his train of thought. "Hmm." He replied still pondering slightly. "Your Item." Harry looked up to the goblin that was standing in front of him. The goblin looked rather unpleased at Harry's ignorance to pay attention but soon wore a smile when Harry gave him the money (100galleons and 17sickles.) for the engagement ring. Harry walked out of Gringnott's as he put the small box into his right pocket of his jeans and set off down the packed muggle street to Lee's. He was decided to walk to Lee's. Harry had a lot on his mind. He didn't quite know how to ask Ginny. Should he do it formally like getting down on his knee and kissing her hand. Or should he do it original like. Maybe he should conjure up a cake slice with the ring in it. This thought quickly was brushed away at the thought of Ginny accidentally swallowing the ring. As Harry walked past a bunch of teenage girl's who were all in awe about his physique he had an idea. He would just tell her how he feel's. Then after getting his feeling and true thought's of how much he loved her out of the way. He would easily be able to slide the ring onto her finger. But that still didn't answer the other question. When should he ask her? Christmas? Easter? Next year? Or maybe tonight? But as Harry was settling this dispute in his thought's another horrible thought popped up. What if she said no. His stomach lurched. How would he be able to deal with that. He loved her so much and cared more about her then the rest of the world. How would he be able to take that? Harry almost narrowly missed being run over by a distraught trucker as he walked across the street during a green light. He continued to run these thought's through his head. What should he do? He ran his finger's through his hair as he walked down the street staring at the pavement. When? How? Where will he ask her? He had decided suddenly that he would rather ask her and be refused then go through life always wondering if she might have said yes. He continued to ponder about how when someone called his name. Harry looked up to meet the sight of Penelope. "Harry!" She cried running to him with Lilith in the lead. "Uncle Harry! Uncle Harry!" she cried running flat out through the crowd knocking into people's legs and bag's as she screamed. Harry smiled and knelt down as she came close he snatched her up in a big hug and she giggled as he put her on his shoulders. "Hi Lil. How are you?" He asked tickling her tummy. She giggled more and muffled out a "fine." Penelope finally reached Harry breathless at her effort's at trying to catch Lilith. "Hi Pen." Harry said as she leant against his shoulder in the effort of catching her breath and trying to look angry at her daughter for running from her. "Lilith Virginia Weasley! We talked about running through crowd's." she said struggling hard not to look pleased all the same but failing terribly. "But mum. It was Uncle Harry."Lilith said as if this was the obvious answer. Harry laughed and Penelope shot him a sly grin hitting him playfully in the shoulder as they began to walk, Lilith still on her Uncle's shoulder's. "You shouldn't encourage her. God knows her other Uncle's do." she said smiling at him. Harry raised his arms in mock surrender and smiled back at her. "Can I help it if my soon to be niece want's to ride on her uncle's shoulder's." Harry said raising his eyes as Lilith looked down giving him the same mischievous grin. "So you still haven't asked Ginny yet I take it." Penelope said eyeing him carefully. "You do know she love's you." she added. Harry breathed a sigh and looked at her. "I know she love's me it's just that....I'm..scared she'll say no." Harry said causing Penelope to snort with laughter. "Harry! I shouldn't be saying this but Ginny's actually considering proposing to You!" Harry felt his jaw drop. "Wha..WHAT! She has." Harry exclaimed as they walked by a crowd of nun's. Penelope simply nodded. "She love's you Harry." she stated simply as they continued down the next street. "Yeah Uncle Harry! She love's you." Lilith said leaning forward on his shoulder's to look at him upside down. "We all love you!" she said again kissing his forehead. Harry smiled. "Thanks Lil." he said as they rounded another street. "So Pen? Where's the rest of the Weasley clan?" Harry asked giving her a sideways glance. "Oh there being watched by Sandra." and when seeing the quizzical look on Harry's face quickly stated " Bill's new girlfriend." Harry smiled at the thought of how many girlfriend's Bill's had in the past some odd years. "I really wish he'd settle down with one." Harry said looking back at her. "So do I but Sandra and him seem really close. I wouldn't be surprised if a third wedding took place soon." she added smiling back at Harry. Harry blushed but continued to look at her. "So are you going to the small party and Lee's?" Harry asked quickly changing the subject. "Me and Percy are later but I'm first going to go home so we can put the kids to sleep." At this comment Harry felt Lilith almost jump off of his shoulder's. "But MUM! I wanna go see Uncle Ron and Aunt Hermioney and and and Uncle Fred and George and and and-" she began to cry and Harry lifted her off his shoulder's hugging her. "Don't worry Lil. Me and Gin will come and see you tomorrow okay." He said holding her with one arm while brushing her tear's away with the other. "Okay...Uncle Harry." she said hugging him tightly. "Harry smiled over her shoulder at Penelope who was beaming at him. "I tell you Harry you really should have kid's, they simply love you and your great with them." she gestured to Lilith and he just smiled at her. "I 'spect it's cause I always wanted kid's. I guess living with the Dursely's kind of make's you want kid's of your own. Just to make sure that they aren't put through anything terrible like that." Harry looked back at Lilith who had fallen asleep. He chuckled and handed her over to Penelope. "Well this is my corner." she said looking at him. "Do ask her Harry!" she said looking at him with considerate eyes. "I will. I have it planned." he winked and bent down to Lilith who was stirring in her mother's arm's. "Uncle Hawwy?" she said through a yawn. "I got to go now Lily." he knelt down and kissed her forehead. "Bye." he stated but stopped moving when Penelope's gaze caught his eye. "What's wrong?" he asked. She still stood there looking as if she could cry without tears. "You just called her Lily." she said looking at him compassionately. "Did I..." he said staring at her with disbelief. She nodded her head and Lilith looked at him with a grin. "I like that name." she said simply beaming at him. "Yeah Lil. I do too." he said smiling at her. "Bye Bye!" she said as Harry walked away smiling to himself. Lilith's yell's of good-bye's followed him till he reached Lee's front door. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ "Where is Harry?" Angelina asked looking at the clock hanging above the door frame to there living room. "He said he'd be here. Probably taking his time. You know Harry." Hermione said smiling at her. "It's seems he's had a lot on his mind lately though." Ginny said rubbing her chin. "I hope everything's okay." she continued still looking rather pale. "He's fine. You heard the boy's he just went to pick something up." Serafina's kind voice said reasurringly. "Yeah I'm sure your right Sera." Katie said putting her tea down on the coffee table. "I just wish I knew what he was thinking sometimes." Ginny said getting up and walking to the door leaning causally against the door frame. "I feel the same way about Ron." Hermione stated smiling at her. "Sometimes he shuts himself up and just goes and has a shower. I barely get two words out of him." she said frowning into her own tea. A knock at the door caused Ginny to squeal with glee and she leapt up off the wall and sprinted to answer it. The girls smiled as they heard the door open and Ginny's second squeal say "HARRY!" and his muffled "Lo." They all laughed as Harry walked in Ginny tightly hugging him. "How are all the fine ladies doing?" Harry said bowing. "Oh shut up you suck up. The boy's are in the pool room." Alicia said smiling at him. Harry walked up and kissed all the women on the cheek kissing Ginny tightly for several minutes before leaving. Ginny sat down with a dreamy expression on her face. The girl's giggled and beamed at her. "What?" she finally said coming out of her trance. All the women bursted out laughing at her shocked expression making Ginny blush feverishly. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ "Harry!" All the men hollered as Harry walked into the room. They all had butterbeer bottles in there hand's except for Ron who was trying extremely hard to try and play pool. "Hi guy's. Having fun Ron." Harry said laughing at Ron's effort's. "Shut up!" Ron snapped. "I'm trying to concentrate." "Yeah Harry!" Fred said grinning. "We would want to break his concentration." with that comment Fred magicked a pillow from the couch to float over and smack Ron in the head just as he was about to shoot. 'Damnit Fred you git!" Ron hollered. As the other guy's laughed. "Harry. Did you get the ring?" asked Lee smiling at him. "How do you-" "Know" everyone all said in unison. Fred,George and Lee all looked from Ron to Draco. "Sorry." Ron and Malfoy said looking away. Harry just shook his head in giggles. "Quite alright but actually I did get it." Harry said fishing his hand into his pocket and pulling out the small box. "Well let's have a gander." George said smiling at him. Harry laughed and opened the box to reveal the ring. 'OOOOOooo AHHHHHhhh." The men said as Harry smiled. "That's a nice ring you got there Harry." Fred said speaking with honesty. The ring was beautiful. It had one diamond and it was in the shape of two heart's combined. They were colored in red by small rubies. And the gold band that held it all in place had a small lining of a periwinkle blue trimming. "Ginny's going to be mesmerized." Ron said looking at it with an awe expression. "What's going to mesmerize me?" came a soft amused voice from behind Harry. Harry quickly shut the the lid to the box and shoved it into his pocket turning around. "My grin of course." Harry said smiling slyly at her. She simply gave him a cheeky grin and her eye's twinkled with mischief. "What are you hiding from me luv?" she asked looking at his pocket. Harry blushed and quickly walked over too her "Nothing Nothing." "I'm sure." she said smiling at him. "So what's up?" he asked hugging her from behind and resting his head on her shoulder. "I just came to ask you guy's what you wanted for supper? We're eating outside on the patio and we have chicken burger's or hamburger's." Ginny said nestling her head against Harry's and looking at the men who looked as if they were struggling back fit's of hysterics. "Chicken." Harry mumbled breathing in her intoxicating fragrance. The men all told her they're order's and she gave Harry a quick kiss and left the room with the same dreamy expression. They all stood there in silence for a while until Ron let out a snort of laughter and sent them all sprawling and gasping for breath as they burst out laughing. "Nice-save-there-Harry!" Lee struggled out as they started to settle down. "Thanks" Harry said wiping a few tears out of his eyes. "I wish we could do that every time Alicia or Katie caught us." Fred choked out leaning on his twin for support. George nodded wiping tears out of his own eyes and sat down. "That was close." Harry said seriously. "I almost blew the whole thing." "Yeah..so when are you going to pop the question?" Lee asked curiously at him. "Honestly I think maybe tonight." Harry said smiling. "After all it'll be Saturday tomorrow so I can spend the whole day with her." Harry said rubbing his chin. "Harry?" Malfoy asked curiously. 'Yes." "Well what are your plans on kids?" ha asked cautiously. "Well to be honsest Draco. I'd love to have kid's. I'm planning on asking Ginny about that after we get married. Or I should say If." Harry said pulling at the collar of his shirt. "What do you mean IF!" Ron said in an exasperated tone. "Well. She might not want to get married." Harry said pointedly. "Harry! Hermione's told me that Ginny's considered asking you too marry her. Of course she's going to say yes." he said looking as if this was obvious. "Penelope told me the same thing." Harry stated but he continued before anyone could interrupt. "And I'm almost 99% sure she'll say yes it's just...." He trailed off looking at the ground. "There's still that one percent." Fred pointed out. Harry nodded. "Look Harry! Ginny love's you. She's crazy about you. I'm willing to bet that if you asked her to marry you even if you haven't been going out since the fifth year she would say yes. I wouldn't be surprised if she kicked Voldemort's ass if he came back and stole your tooth brush. She love's you, she love's you more then anything else. Why cant you see that?" Ron said putting his hand on Harry's shoulder and giving it a good shake. But before Harry could answer or even reply Angelina's voice called to them. "Boy's dinner." "Coming!" They all called to her as they filed out of the room. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* The food was scrumptious and very tasty. They had chicken/hamburger's with they're choice of salad and for some dessert they had ice cream that changed five type's of different ice cream when ever you took another lick. They chatted about different thing's for a while like work and home's, and soon after they got into the discussion of names. "Well Lee and I really like the name Jacob for a boy and Andrea for a girl." Angelina said resting her head on Lee's shoulder and yawning greatly. "Oh I like that name Andrea. But I really am thinking of naming our girl Scarlet or Daisy something sweet like that." Hermione said resting her head on Ron's shoulder as well. "What about Gred and Forge?" George said causing the men to burst out laughing and Katie to hit him over the head with paper plate. "Seriously though I think the name Gregory is nice for a boy." Katie said still glaring at her husband. "What do you too think?" Ron asked pointing to Ginny and Harry. Ginny looked up from Harry's chest that she had been using as a pillow and said in a very sweet like tone. "I really like the name Niah and Liam." she said resting her head back down onto Harry. "Liam and Niah Potter. It's got a nice ring to it don't it." said Fred sitting up from leaning back on his chair's back legs. "Yah I like those name's as well. But if we do have a girl Ginny can we name her Lily?" Harry asked running his finger's through her hair. Every single head at the table looked up and had the expression of nervousness. "Sure hun. I love the name Lily." Ginny said leaning up and giving him a kiss. "Thanks. I accidentally called Lilith Lily today so it's been on my mind lately." Harry said still running his finger's through her magnificent hair. "Well then enough about us. Draco. Serafina. You two have been quiet for a while what kind of name's do you like?" Harry said smiling in there direction. Draco took a nervous glance at Serafina and she nodded. "We like the name's Luther and Ethen. And for a girl Rebecca." he said smiling. "Well when are you too getting engaged?" said a voice from the doorway to the patio. Everyone looked up to see Percy and Penelope standing there beaming at them. "I'm glad you waited for us." Penelope said looking at the empty plates and dishes. "Sorry. We thought Percy got hung up in the off-" started Katie but was stopped when Penelope raised her hand with a smile. "Quite alright. We ate before we left." Penelope said kissing Harry and Ron. "Good-evening you two." she said walking over to Fred and George and doing the same. She gave the girls each a hug and Draco shook her hand. "So back to my previous question Draco when are you and Serafina getting married?" Percy said raising a brow. "Actually-" Draco started but Serafina took over. "Me and Draco already made Wedding plans. We're not having a big wedding but it won't be for another year or so. My family is on vacation visiting my sister in America for a year." she smiled and everyone bursted into complements. After a long time everyone began to get tired and Penelope and Percy had to go because Angel had a nightmare.(Bill called Percy from the fireplace) So before long everyone was about to leave when Angelina invited everyone to stay for the night. "Look why don't you all stay. Draco Serafina you can have the pool room. And Fred Alica you can have one of the spare rooms and George and Katie you can have your old bedroom. And Harry and Ginny can have our room Lee and we can take the couch in in the living room." "Oh no. We couldn't take your bedroom. Here we'll stay in the living room and you keep your room." Ginny said still hugging Harry tightly and now resting her head on his shoulder. "Ok. But what about Ron and Hermione." Lee said pointing this out for the first time. "They can have the basement all to themselves." Angelina said. "Ok. Thanks. Are you sure we're no trouble though." Hermione said before anyone else could. "It's fine. As long as I get some sleep your all welcome to stay." Angelina said smiling and rubbing her large tummy. "Oh my goodness! The baby it kicked. Lee! LEE! The baby it kicked!" she shrieked practically jumping on top of him. "Really." said Lee putting his hand on her stomach. "It did it again!" Lee cried out looking very proud. After several minutes of everyone feeling the baby kick and Angelina almost beside herself with happiness they all went to there separate room's to get ready for bed. Ron caught Harry before Hermione could drag him down stairs too wish him good luck with the ring. Harry nodded his thanks and went into the room feeling a lot more nervous then ever in his life. After Transfiguring the couch into a king size bed they conjured some sheets and wished Draco and Serafina good night as they went down the hall to the pool room and Lee winked at Harry as he Fred,George,Alicia,Angelina and Katie went upstairs to there appropriate rooms. "Ginny?" Harry asked helping her tuck in the sheets and blanket's. "Yes luv?" she said conjuring pillows. "Well I was wondering. What do you think about...." he trailed off pulling the comforters back and soon after that the sheet's as well so they could get in. "Think about what?" she said sounding very interested. "Well.... Marriage." Harry said sitting on the edge of the bed, back facing her. There was a long pause in which time Harry took off his socks and jeans. "Well. I never knew that you wanted me too think about it. Why have you?" she said finally getting undressed herself. "Actually I have." Harry confessed. Taking off his shirt. "Well. To be honest so have I." Ginny said sliding into bed wearing one of Harry's old shirt's that draped almost to her knees. "You have." Harry said trying not to sound nervous. As he settled himself as well into the bed wearing his golden snitch boxer shorts that Ginny had gotten him for Christmas last year. "Well of course. I love you Harry. And I was beginning to wonder if you ever wanted to get married. After all Voldemort is gone so there isn't that threat." Ginny said sliding closer to him and resting her head on his chest instead of the pillow. "I know that he's gone but I'm still worried about him. What if he's still out there biding his time like he did last time. I would never want anything to happen to you Ginny. I would rather die ten time's if that was to stop him from even coming near you." Harry said confessing all the feelings he had been hiding for so long. "Oh Harry." Ginny murmured sliding on top of him to look him in the eyes. "Harry look I love you and nothing would ever stop me from loving you and I would rather die by Voldemort a million times then to never have married you." Ginny said sliding up him so they were almost nose to nose and she stared into his emerald green eyes. Harry stared back into her loving chocolate colored eyes and just knew that she was being sincere. "Gin.......One second." Harry said lifting her gently by the waist and resting her beside him. Harry leaned over the side of the bed and grabbed his jeans. He stuck his hand in his pocket and pulled out the ring still in it's box. "Ginny. You know that I love you and that I want to be with you forever." Harry said slowly rising with the box clutched in his hand. "And I do love you Harry and I do want to be with you forever." Ginny said rising herself from the other side of the bed. "And that's why I want to ask." Harry said slowly turning around to face her. "I have something to ask you aswell Harry." Ginny said sounding nervous herself. "Will you marry me?" they said in unison as they faced each other. Author's note: Ohh Cliffhanger! I know I'm evil.
