'The Wedding'

*******************************************************************
On Wednesday Harry handed out invitations to everyone in the Auror office.

‘Ron, Hermione Gin and I are moving and this is the invitation to the housewarming party on Friday night’ He said ‘You’re all invited to see the new Potter Manor’

‘You built a Manor?’ Mack asked in surprise ‘When?’

‘Over the last six years since the end of the war’ Harry said ‘I didn’t tell anyone even Ron, well not until last week, according to archived pictures I have the exterior looks the same but I didn’t know what the interior looked like so I had a bit of fun doing that. Over the weekend Ron, Hermione, Gin and I decorated the whole thing’

‘Since when do you decorate Weasley?’ Dawlish asked Ron in amusement ‘Do you know what a paint tin and brush look like?’

‘Get stuffed Dawlish you wouldn’t know a paint tin if it danced the Macarena naked in front of you’

‘The what?’

‘It’s a muggle dance’ Harry said in amusement ‘A bit like the Wonky Wizard it was really popular with muggles about five or six years ago’

‘Do you know how to dance it?’

‘Yeah but you’re not going to find out any soon’ Harry said ‘It’s the sort of thing I do when I’m pissed, I’m sure as hell not going to do it sober. I’m the head of the Auror office the press would have a field day if word got out I could do the Macarena. I do have a reputation to uphold you know, Rita Skeeter already gives me enough shit’

‘Any chance of seeing it at this party on Sunday?’

‘If you bring enough booze’

‘Ha ha’

‘Anyway I’m off to see Kingsley’ Harry said going to his office and putting on his cloak ‘Ron you’re in charge til I get back’

Ron nodded as Harry left the office and made his way down the hall and into the lift. Being early afternoon it was empty save for a few interdepartmental memos.

The lift remained empty til the first floor when the disembodied ethereal voice announced the first floors contents.

‘Level one Minister for Magic’s office and the Department for Wizarding Immigration incorporating the Passport office and Wizarding Tourism Office for Great Britain and Ireland’

There was a soft ‘Ding’ and the doors scraped open. Harry thrust his hands in his pockets and made his way down the hall. The wall that ran the length of the hall today was showing a bright blue sky with fluffy white clouds and the odd bluebird flying by.

The buzz of voices came from the Immigration and Tourism offices as he passed then he came to the door with a large brass plate on in bearing the inscription…

‘MINISTER FOR MAGIC: KINGSLEY SHAKLEBOLT, SENIOR UNDERSECRETARY TO THE MINISTER…PERCY WEASLEY’

Harry knocked on the door and there was a short silence before he heard footsteps. The door opened and Percy stood there looking slightly harried.

‘Oh Hi Harry come in come in’ Percy said.

‘Hey Perce busy?’ Harry said walking over the threshold and closing the door behind him.

‘Busy is an understatement it’s like In the week Kingsley was away in Cardiff everyone saved up their work for when he came back!’ Percy said ‘I assume you’re here to see him?’

‘Yeah is he free?’

‘Yes go right through’

Percy gestured to Kingsleys office, Harry thanked him with a nod of his head and knocked on the old heavy redwood door.

‘Enter’

Harry twisted the brass handle and opened the door. Kingsley Shaklebolt was seated behind his desk, which was covered in papers and books. He broke into a wide smile and left his seat as Harry opened the door.

‘Harry!’ He said enthusiastically ‘How are you? Are things busy upstairs?’

‘Nah things are quiet. If anything happens Ron ad Mack can handle it’ Harry said shaking Kingsley’s hand ‘Unlike down here Perce says it’s busy’

‘Like you wouldn’t believe, I thought there was enough paperwork when I was the head of the Auror department it’s nothing like down here’

‘Oh well I get to give that up in a month’ Harry said with a grin taking a seat ‘Well less than a month actually with the orientation week at Hogwarts at the end of the month’

‘There’ll be your fare share of paperwork there’ Kingsley said going to a small cupboard ‘Drink?’

‘Thanks a butterbeer, I don’t really like to drink at work’

‘So what do I owe the pleasure of your visit?’ Kingsley asked flicking his wand so a bottle of Butterbeer flew out of the cupboard and slid across the table to Harry.

‘I came to give you this’ Harry said pulling a piece of parchment out of his robes pockets and holding it out to Kingsley ‘Ron, Hermione, Ginny and I are moving into the Manor in Godric’s Hollow this weekend and we have a housewarming party on Sunday. On the parchment if the time you need to arrive from and the apparition co-ordinates’

‘You had it rebuilt?’ Kingsley said in surprise ‘When?’

‘Over the last six years since the end of the war’ Harry said ‘I only decided around the time of Neville and Hannah’s wedding to move in and I invited Ron, Hermione and Gin to come and live with Teddy and I. It’s too big for me and a child to live in, it needs people in it, Will you come?’

‘Of course! I’ll be glad to come, how are the wedding plans going?’

‘Quickly and smoothly surprisingly’ Harry said sipping his butterbeer ‘Gin is going gown shopping with, Molly, Hermione and Angelina when Angelina and George return from their honeymoon and Gin is dragging me along to a florists with Hermione and Molly next week to pick flowers for the ceremony, I just want to pick my dress robes and turn up on the day like Neville did’

‘I’m not sure you’re going to be able to do that’ Kingsley said with a chuckle.

‘I know’ Harry groaned ‘But I wouldn’t have it any other way, Gin is the one I know it’

‘Well good on ya, it’d be nice if everyone found their soul mate like you’

‘Like you eh?’ Harry aid with a grin ‘No romantic prospects on the horizon?’

Kingsley laughed.
‘Nah the chances of me getting married again are about as likely as a Hippogriff learning to ice skate’ He said wistfully swirling his tumbler of Firewhiskey ‘And I’m Minister for Magic I can’t exactly put a ad in the lonely hearts column of the Daily Prophet’

‘Why not?’ Harry said with a grin ‘You’d get plenty of replies, I’m sure there would be ladies lining up around the block to get a piece of you, probably a few blokes too’

Kingsley gave Harry a withering look as he roared with laughter.

‘That’ He said ‘Is not an option I am not so desperate as to swap teams’

‘Well a lot of people meet their spouses at weddings of their friends so maybe you’ll find your next beloved at Oliver and Alicia or Ginny and I’s wedding’

‘Possibly but really I’m not looking’ Kingsley said ‘So how did Molly take the news you lot were moving out of he Burrow?’

‘She was quite philosophical about it to be honest’ Harry said ‘Something that somewhat surprised me. Ron and I expected her to burst into floods and cry til Christmas but we sat down with her Arthur, Gin and Hermione Friday night after they got back from Wales and she told us all she’s been expecting us to move out long before now and would miss us but we had to spread out wings and leave the nest eventually. Ron suspects she’ll be over all the time visiting anyway, fluffing our pillows cooking us meals all the usual maternal stuff’

Kingsley grinned.
‘If I know Molly she will be’ He said ‘Told anyone you’ve accepted the job at Hogwarts yet?’

‘No one but Ron, `Mione, Gin and Molly and Arthur, but apart from that I'm not going to tell the media til I’m at Hogwarts for the orientation week’ Harry said ‘Then I will be afforded some sort of protection. The last thing I need is Rita Skeeter hassling me. And Minerva is organizing it so I an floo from my chambers at Hogwarts directly to Godric’s Hollow and back. And I’ll make sure to get a couple more of those disguise hats from George before I go, he’s working on some especially for me’

‘Have you ordered some for the Auror office yet?’

‘Yeah they should be ready the week before I depart for Hogwarts’ Harry said ‘I reckon they’ll be a revolutionary tool for the Ministry as a whole, Hermione’s going to talk to Reuben about getting some for Improper Use Of Magic Office too’

‘Hmm have you given much thought about who you’d like to take over from you as the Auror Office head after you go to Hogwarts?

‘Briefly’

‘Well you ought to give it a bit more thought you’re only in the job for three more weeks, who are you considering?’

‘Mack and Ron’ Harry said ‘No one else wants the job and both have filled in for me before, You know they shared the job while I was on holidays, and I know Ron is my best mate but I think he did a brilliant job, whereas I felt Mack did it because she felt she had to’

‘Ah so you saw that too huh?’ Kingsley said mused drumming his fingers on the arm of his chair ‘I was thinking about that while I was away in Cardiff’

‘Was the conference that boring?’ Harry said with an amused look at Kingsley ‘I’m glad I didn’t go now’

‘Nah it was okay’ Kingsley said ‘Just a lot of beauracratic bullshit that I think hardly required every head of offices in all the Ministries of Magic in the world to attend'

‘Tch tch’ Harry said ‘Don’t let that get out, it wouldn’t do to have the British Minister for Magic think an international conference was a waste of time’

‘Oh ha ha’ Kingsley said rolling his eyes ‘Well at least the next one isn’t for a while yet. They are only annual ones’

‘And I’ll be safely ensconced at Hogwarts by the time the next one comes around’ Harry said with a wide grin ‘Ah bless Minerva for offering me the D.A.D.A job she’s a great bird’

‘Lucky bastard’ Kingsley said ‘So apart from the obvious how’s life treating you?’

‘Aww pretty good pretty good’ Harry said ‘I’ve got a good job, a good woman and a house that’s a bloody palace if I do say so myself’

‘Good onya mate’

*******************************************************************

‘Oi how is Hagrid getting here?’ Ron asked Harry Friday afternoon as he, Harry and Mrs Weasley made preparations for that evening’s housewarming party.

‘Knight Bus’ Harry said sliding a tray of muffin batter into the oven ‘He said about six. He also said he had a surprise’

‘Oh great what?, a crate of Blast Ended Skrewts?’

Harry laughed
‘I doubt it but you have to admit a few skrewts would liven things up a bit’ Ron said pointing his wand at the bowl he’d mixed muffin batter in and muttering ‘Scougify’

‘You make it sound like tonight is going to be boring’ Harry said collecting four cans of lemonade from the fridge ‘You okay if we leave you to it for a minute Molly?’

‘Oh yes dear go ahead’ Mrs Weasley said with a loud grunt as she kneaded an enormous mound of dough.

‘You know Minerva’s R.S.V.P for the party was peculiar’ Harry said as he and Ron made their way down to the back of the manor ‘Did I tell you? Her owl said ‘I’ve organized a surprise’

‘Well whatever it is you can guarantee it’s not a crate of blast ended skrewts’ Ron said as they cut through the laundry and made their way out onto the back porch ‘Maybe a troop of strippers in lacy negligee’s’

Harry snorted.
‘McGonagall?’ He said ‘McGonagall and strippers don’t go in the same sentence, you idiot haven’t you and Hermione gotten busy lately? You’re sounding like you haven’t dipped your wick in the last few days’

‘I haven’t’ Ron said gloomily ‘Not all week. It’s ‘Mione’s ‘That’ time of the months if you get my drift’

‘My god you’re a sad sack’ Harry said with a grin ‘A whole week without getting laid and you’re walking around like Voldemort has hexed you. Try beating off with Mrs Palmer and her five daughters’

Ron rolled his eyes.
‘That doesn’t help’ He said as they walked don to the outdoor table setting at the end of the porch ‘You know that it’s a temporary relief that nothing but having a good hard fuck can solve’

‘True…GIN!, ‘MIONE! DRINKS!

Ginny and Hermione paused from setting up tables and chairs and joined Harry and Ron at the setting.

‘Thanks’ Ginny said cracking open the can of lemonade Harry gave her ‘I wonder what McGonagall wanted a stage for’

‘She’s chucking in the Headmistress’s job at Hogwarts and is kicking off her stand up comedy career at the party’ Ron said with a grin ‘What do you reckon her stage name would be? Minnie McGonagall?’

‘Don’t say that to her face or she’ll hex you’ Ginny said ‘Maybe she’s worked out a stage name like you do for your porn star name’

‘How do you do that? Ron asked in amusement ‘More importantly where’d you learn that game?

‘Hannah’s hen’s night’ Ginny said’ You do it like this you take the first street you lived in or your first pet and your mother’s maiden name’

Hermione suddenly gave a loud unladylike snort and immediately blushed.

‘What would yours be ‘Mione?’ Harry said with a grin ‘Must be good, you’re blushing like Ron does’

‘You don’t want to hear’ Hermione said in an embarrassed voice.

‘Yeah we do go on’ Ron goaded her.

‘No’

Oh go on ‘Mione it can’t be that bad’ Ginny said ‘Mine’s Porky Prewett’

Harry and Ron fell about laughing.

‘G-g-go on ‘Mione yours can’t be worse than that’ Ron sniggered

‘Oh okay mine would be Lollipop Dixon-Prescott’ Hermione said going a shade of scarlet that Harry didn’t think was naturally possible.

Harry, Ginny and Ron roared so loud a flock of starlings took flight from a nearby acorn tree.

‘You-had-a-pet-called-Lollipop?’ Ron cried in mirth clutching his stomach that hurt from the effort of laughing so hard.

‘Yes!’ Hermione said shrilly her face going redder still ‘Lollipop was a stray cat that was dumped on our doorstep when I was a child, I named him’

‘Poor-cat!’ Ginny tittered.

‘I was three years old!’ Hermione exclaimed ‘Three year olds name pets with stupid names like that!’

‘Mine’s not real funny’ Harry said ‘Hedwig Evans’

‘You didn’t have a pet before Hedwig?’ Ron said in surprise.

‘Nah the Dursleys weren’t really the pet keeping type’ Harry said ‘Dudley got a parrot when he was about ten but swapped it for an air rifle. I never had a pet of my own til Hagrid got me Hedwig, C’mon now what would your porn star name be Ronniekins?’

‘Scabbers Prewett’

‘Ha ha’

‘You thought about getting an owl Harry? Hermione asked after all the hilarity had died down ‘I know the loss of Hedwig was hard but even you have to admit it’s been hard to get by without your own owl for the last six years even with Pig’s help’

‘Yeah I’ve thought about it’ Harry said scratching his scalp lazily ‘But Hedwig was a special owl it’d be hard to replace her, I’m not going to walk into Eeylops and say I’ll have that one to take away thanks’

‘We wouldn’t expect you to’ Ginny said ‘But have you even looked? I can’t remember the last time you went into Eeylops’

‘Without an owl I don’t need to go in there’ Harry said ‘And I haven’t had the time since I went back to the Ministry, and anyway whenever I need an owl one seems to appear, it’s like I have an ESP connection with the entire owl populous’

‘Well I think you should start looking’ Hermione said getting up as the he doorbell rang ‘You’ll need an owl at some point when Ron and I move out’

A minute later a shriek came from within the foyer and Harry Ron and Ginny jumped to their feet and rushed inside to see what was causing the commotion.

Hermione was the source of the shriek she had her hands over her fact as the immensely popular wizarding musical group the ‘Weird Sisters’ stood on the threshold.

‘You’re the fucking Weird Sisters!’ Ginny exclaimed then realizing what she said, her small hands flying to her ‘Oh fuckwankshitheadbuggerarseheadandhole!’

Ron and Harry roared with laughter and a smile slowly spread across the face of Archie Mac the lead singer.

‘Seriously though what are you guys doing here?’ Harry asked holding an arm out and inviting the group into the house.

‘We got an owl from asking to turn up here and play a few tunes’ Archie said ‘Do you have somewhere for us to set up and start practicing before the rest of the guests arrive?’

‘Uhm yeah out the back just go down the hall out the back door and onto the back lawn’ Harry said pointing the way ‘We’ll leave you to it eh?’

‘Rightio matey’

‘The Weird fuggin’ Sisters how cool is that?’ Ginny said doing a little jig ‘Wonder who sent them?’

‘Had to be McGonagall’ Ron said ‘She said in her R.S.V.P she’d organized a surprise and she did want a stage’

‘Whoo Minerva you secretive old bird!’ Harry whooped.

Mrs Weasley emerged from the kitchen her apron covered in flour to see what the commotion was about.

‘Wha’s all the noise?’ She said ‘I head someone scream’

‘That was Gin' Ron said ‘McGonagall hired the Weird Sisters as the entertainment for the night’

‘Really?’

‘You they’re out the back setting up, howzat? The Weird Sisters! They are the biggest group about!’

‘Great now we have to put up with a whole night of Ronald trying to dance’ Ginny said going an imitation of Ron dancing ‘I call what he does ‘The Constipated Hippogriff’

Ron just scowled as Ginny, Harry and Hermione burst into laughter.

*******************************************************************

At six o’clock the doorbell rang again and Harry went down the hall to answer the door. The enormous figure of Hagrid stood on the threshold holding what appeared to be a large cloth covered box and with a bag slung over his shoulder.

‘Hagrid!’ Harry exclaimed ‘Welcome to the new and improved Potter Manor!’

‘Ah it’s good to be see yeh ‘Arry it’s good to see yeh' Hagrid said putting the box down and sweeping him into the usual rib cracking hug.

‘Thanks good to see you too’ Harry said closing the door behind them ‘What you got there?’

‘Your Ron an’ Hermione’s house warming presents’ Hagrid said following Harry through the foyer and out onto the back porch where the guests who had already arrived was gathered.

‘Hagrid!’ Hermione called coming over ‘You got here okay then?’

‘Jus’ fine Hermione jus’ fine’ Hagrid said beaming down at her ‘Where’s Ron Ginny? I have something to give you all'

It was only then that Harry noticed a soft rustling noise coming from the cloth covered box.

‘Hang on I’ll just go and get them’ Hermione said ‘He’s probably off stuffing his face with Molly’s Hour d’ourves’

Harry snorted as Hermione went off, she returned a minute later with Ron who indeed was just finishing off a mouthful of food and Ginny.

‘Hagrid!’ Ron greeted his old friend swallowing his mouthful of food hurridley ‘Welcome! What you got there?’

‘A little something for you four’ Hagrid said pulling out a small box ‘You and Hermione first, Hermione this is for you’

Hermione took the box and carefully and opened it. Inside were two golden slide combs each bearing a line of minature Gryffindor dragons shaped with red stones.

‘Oh Hagrid they’re beautiful!’ Hermione exclaimed gaping at the combs ‘They must’ve cost you a fortune!’

‘Put ‘em on’ Hagrid said gruffly pleased that Hermione liked her gift so much ‘I thought I’d get you something useful’

Hermione carefully took the combs out of the box and slid them into her hair.

‘Lookin’ foxy babe’ Ron joked

‘Ha ha’

‘Your turn nex’ Ron’ Hagrid said giving Ron a slightly bigger box.

‘Hope it’s nothing that can break’ Ginny said ‘Ron’ll find a way to break it’

‘Oh sod off' Ron said rolling his eyes.

Ron opened his box to reveal a set of gold Gobstones, a game Ron was just as proficient at as wizards chess.
‘Oh wow Hagrid thanks this is awesome!’ Ron exclaimed happily ‘Want a game later?’

‘I haven’t played Gobstones in ages’ Hagrid said retreiving a small package from within the box ‘But yeh I’ll give it a go, okay Ginny you next’

Ginny carefully inwrapped the package to reveal an elegant jewellery box. She opened it and a soft melodic tune played.

'Oh wow Hagrid it's lovely!' Ginny exclaimed turning the box around to show Ron, Harry and Hermione the interior of the box which was decorated with a lifelike ballerina in a purple tutu and ivory satin.

'Hagrid where do yuo get this stuff?' Hermione asked 'I've never seen anything so elegant'

'Oh I have connections' Hagrid said mysteriously 'Okay Harry you nex' your present is under the cloth'

Harry pulled the cloth off the box to reveal a cage which was currently occupied by an ebony black owl with gold flecking throughout it’s plumage.

Harry, Ron, Ginny and Hermione stared incredulously at the owl that regarded them quietly ruffling it’s feathers as if eager to go out flying.

‘What’s that?’ Harry said stupidly.

‘An owl you idiot’ Ron said getting over his shock ‘Wow Hagrid, where’d you get it? What’s it’s name?’

‘Ah that’d be up to Harry’ Hagrid said ‘Harry she’s yours, I knew you needed another owl, I know you were close to Hedwig..but….’

Hagrid trailed off gauging Harry’s reaction.

All Harry could do was stare at the owl who could’ve been the spit image of Hedwig but for the white plumage being black and the black flecking being the gold.

‘Hagrid she’s beautiful!’ Harry said opening the cage door and letting the owl exit the cage ‘How’d you know I’d been thinking about getting another owl?’

‘I didn’’ Hagrid said ‘Lucky guess I suppose’

Harry held out his arm and the owl stepped onto it. She stuck her head under a wing and began preening herself.

‘So-so d’yeh like ‘er Harry?’ Hagrid asked hesitantly.

‘Course I do Hagrid she’s lovely’ Harry said ‘Thankyou’

‘So you want her then?’

‘Of course!’

‘Now you just have to name her’ Ron said ‘Where’d you get her Hagrid?’

‘A friend of mine in Hogsmeade who breeds owls for the Eeylops chain’ Hagrid said ‘I visited him last week and this one flew down on my head and wouldn’t leave me alone, maybe it was fate or destiny I dunno but I think she was meant for you Harry’

‘How old is she?’ Harry asked stoking the owls shiny plumage

‘Twelve months’ Hagrid replied ‘You orta have her for much longer than Hedwig’

‘I hope so’ Harry said ‘Naming her’s going to be a problem though. I can’t think of anything at the moment’

‘We’ll help you Harry’ Hermione said.

The night continued on with the Weird Sisters playing tune after tune then eventually Harry was pulled aside by Oliver Wood his old Quidditch captain from Hogwarts.

‘How you going Harry?’ He asked giving Harry a tumbler of Redcurrant Rum.

‘Ta, aww not bad, things are pretty good’ Harry said ‘I’ve got a nice house a good job and a good woman things couldn’t be much better. How about you? Not long til you and Alicia get hitched’

‘Things are pretty good for me too’ Oliver said ‘Keeping an eye on the Quidditch Cup? The season proper starts in a month and we're nearing the end of the Pre-Season Cup now’

‘I’ve been following it a bit yeah’ Harry said ‘I’ve missed Quidditch I haven’t played since my sixth year, not a proper game anyway’

‘Come any play with Puddlemere United then’ Oliver said ‘We’re always looking to recruit new players and you were the best seeker in Hogwarts saw since your father. We could always do with your talent’

‘Geez Oliver I’m really out of the loop I haven’t played a game of Quidditch in seven years plus I’m working full time as the Auror office head at the moment and at the beginning of next month I start a new job that will take up a lot of my time’

‘Well the Pre-Season Cup is on at the moment and we could use your talent, come to a training session sometime this week, you could get a game with us next weekend against the Kenmare Kestrels we have to win to get into the Grand Final’

‘What happened to Coralie Dickson?’ Harr said ‘She’s your seeker’

‘She’s on the long term injury list, we’re using George Lewis from the reserve squad at the moment’

‘What about my job? I was headhunted for it and it’d be poor form if I skived off to play Quidditch’

‘Well who’s your new boss? Maybe I can have a word to him or her about you playing’

‘I can’t tell you what the new job is just yet’ Harry said sipping his Redcurrant Rum ‘You and the rest of the world will find out what it is soon enough. I have three weeks left in the Auror office I can come and train in the meantime if you like’

‘Great I’ll owl you in the next day or two about training’ Oliver said happily ‘What sort of broom do you have?’

‘Just the Firebolt Sirius gave me in my third year’ Harry said ‘Do I need another one?’

‘Not for the time being come to training on it and we’ll see if you need another one’ Oliver said ‘United use Firebolt Five Hundreds and I know the Kenmare Kestrels Seeker used a Nimbus Two Thousand and Two in their last game which I KNOW your broom would outstrip have a bit of a fly with us and we’ll see what you need’

Harry grinned like a little kid in a lolly shop.
‘I can’t believe I’m going to play Quidditch again!’ He said ‘It’s been ages since I had a good fly’

‘Well you’ll be a welcome addition to Pud’ Oliver said with a grin ‘Hey Gin plays for the Holyhead Harpies we’ll meet them in the Pre Season grand final if they beat the Chudley Canons’

‘Oh great that’ll be thrills all round if the Harpies beat the Cannons’ Harry said with a grin ‘Ron is a mad Cannons man and Gin is one of the starting chasers at the Harpies and they both live with me if Puddlemere United make it and the Cannons or the Harpies lose do I’ll have to go into hiding’

Oliver snorted.
‘Well that’s something you’re going to have to deal with isn’t it mate?’ He said with a grin.

‘I could just go and hide’ Harry said

‘Hide from who?’ Ginny said coming over ‘Hey Oliver thanks for coming’

‘That’s okay Gin, nice to see you and Harry again’

‘So who are you going to hide from?’ Ginny asked Harry slipping an arm around his waist.

‘You and Ron’ Harry said.

‘Why?’

‘Meet the new Seeker for the Puddlemere United Quidditch team’ Oliver said with a wide grin.

‘Since when?’ Ginny said looking shocked and surprised.

‘Hey hang on I only agreed to go and train with United not take up a permanent position on the team I have my new job next month!’ Harry exclaimed ‘Fuckin’ hell Oliver I ought to hex you for that’

‘You ought to enjoy that’ Ginny said ‘You haven’t done anything Quidditch related for an age. I think you’ll enjoy it if you get a game’

‘I suppose so just don’t go spreading it around okay?’ Harry said ‘That goes for you to Oliver’

‘Don’t worry Harry if there’s half a chance of you getting on the team I’m not going to spread the word’ Oliver said ‘Let’s just see how you train first eh?’

‘Yeah lets see’

*******************************************************************

A couple of hours later Harry and Ginny pulled Cho Chang and Dennis Creevy aside in a small downstairs room Ginny had set up as her potions lab.

‘Harry what’s up you’re being awfully secretive’ Cho said as Harry and Ginny warded the door.

‘You’re not going to mug us are you?’ Dennis joked.

‘Ha ha’ Harry said ‘No in and I were wondering if you and Cho could do us a favour?’

‘Shoot’

‘Last week at my birthday party I er proposed to Gin….’Harry started

‘Oh Harry congratulations!’ Cho said lighting up and giving him a quick hug

‘Yeah Harry congratulations’ Dennis said shaking Harry’s hand the striding over to Ginny and dropping a kiss on her cheek ‘Congratulations to the both of you when’s the big day?’

‘We’ve decided on October sixteenth’ Ginny said.

‘So why have you pulled us aside?’ Cho asked enquiringly.

‘Well we want to release the news to the public but we don’t want Rita Skeeter to have anything to do with the release the news. You both know working at the Prophet how she twists anything she reports on….’

‘No kidding’

‘Well we were wondering if you two would like the exclusive of the story and the pictures’ Ginny said ‘Harry and I discussed it earlier this evening and we thought you could come over one night this week to write the story and take the pictures’

‘Oh wow we’d love to!’ Cho exclaimed ‘Well I would..Dennis?’

‘Yeah sounds good to me’ Dennis said with a grin.

‘The thing is you have to keep quiet about it til the Prophet goes to print’ Harry stressed ‘You’d know from all the crap that I copped after returning to work the week before last, I don’t want to deal with that again’

‘I understand’ Cho said ‘You have my word on this one Harry and you too Ginny, I want to get one up on Rita like you do, she’s not exactly my favourite person either’

‘She’s not anyone’s favourite person’ Dennis said investigating a cauldron who’s pink contents were bubbling away ‘What’s this?’

‘Pepper Up potion’ Ginny said ‘I need it for my work’

‘So you’ll take this job on?’ Harry asked.

‘Hell yeah’ Dennis said wit a wide grin ‘Rita will be sick as a pig’

‘She’ll chuck a temper tanty when she finds out’ Cho said with a grin ‘Like she did when she missed out on the scoop that Alexis Marriot the lead singer of Girls On Parade the pop group was getting married’

‘Who got that scoop?’ Ginny asked, Girls On Parade was a popular five member girl band popular with the magical under 25’s community.

‘Lisa Marie the editor of the entertainment section’ Cho said ‘She’s a personal friend of Alexis. She’s been hassling me since you returned to work because she knows I’m a personal friend of yours. I told her to fuck off she was annoying me so much. I got yelled at by my boss but he understood. I tell you I was so tempted to hex her’

‘I’ll do it for you’ Harry said with a grin ‘Oh and if this release goes well I might have another one for you in about three weeks’

Cho lit up.
‘Oh really what is it? C’mon spill’

‘Nah mate I can’t Harry said ‘Really I can’t I made a promise to someone that I wouldn’t. But trust me Rita will shit enough bricks to build a house bigger than this one’

‘It must be good’ Dennis said

‘It is so would Tuesday night about six o’clock be okay? You can come over for dinner and drinks afterward, when’s the deadline for the Wednesday edition?’

‘Ten PM but I want to make this a proper piece so I think it’d be better if I work on it and get it in the Thursday Prophet’ Cho said ‘Something this big needs to be a masterpiece’

‘Well thanks guys for all this especially for keeping it quiet’ Harry said ‘If all goes well I’ll give you first head’s up on the next scoop in three weeks time okay?’

‘You got it’

Cho and Denis left the potions lab a few minutes later but Harry and Ginny remained behind.

‘What?’ Ginny said as Harry pulled her back and re-warded the door.

‘Oh I thought we could have some fun on our own’ Harry said kissing her neck and pinching her bum ‘What do you reckon?’

Ginny returned the kiss.
‘You always want fun’ She said with a grin as he trailed kisses down the line of her collarbone ‘You have the libido of someone that’s never been laid’

‘Feel me I haven’t’ Harry said grinding his arousal against her hips.

‘Well we’ll just have to do something about that won’t we?’ Ginny said slipping her hands inside of his shirt and running her nails down his back, something she knew drove him wild ‘Hey you didn’t crack a hard on with Cho in the room did you?’

‘Yeah I did but only because I was thinking about what I was going to do to you after she left’ Harry said biting her left nipple softly through the fabric of her shirt and bra.

‘Bloody deviant’ Ginny said with a giggle letting Harry slide her shirt over her head ‘I may as well walk around nude. Clothes aren’t really a necessity when being with you are they?’

‘Would you?’ Harry said pausing for a minute a goofy grin spreading across his face ‘Then I could hold you up against the will and fuck you senseless without the added complication of removing clothes’

Ginny reached behind her and undid the clasp of her bra, she then kissed Harry long and hard before letting it drop to the floor.

‘Lets give that a go one day when Ron ad Hermione are out of the house’ She said with a cheeky grin.

‘Tart’ Harry said taking off his shirt and allowing Ginny to suck his right nipple ‘Ahhh fuck that tickles!’

Ginny sucked on his left nipple flicking it with the tip of he tongue, she then dropped to her knees and roughly pulled Harry’s trousers to the floor. Harry had to hold onto a nearby stool to keep his balance.

‘Do I do that to you? Ginny said running a nail over the bulge in his underpants.

‘Gin you know you do’ Harry growled his breath catching in his throat ‘That’s a stupid question even for you’

Ginny hooked her fingers over the elastic waistband of Harry’s underpants and slowly pulled them down. His cock bounced free of it’s constraints the head covered in precum. Harry stepped out of them and barely had enough time to lean on the stool before Ginny started attacking him. She swirled her tongue around his testicles then slowly ran the tip of her tongue the length of the shaft before swallowing him whole.

‘Fuck me that feels gooood!’ He groaned squeezing his eyes shut ‘Shit Gin!’

‘Like that huh?’ Ginny said removing her skirt and knickers ‘You know the potions lab would be the perfect place for you to do me from behind’

‘If you keep doing things like that to me I will’ Harry said ‘Get yourself ready because I might just have to skip the oral and fuck you straight away’

‘Oooh kinky’

Ginny cupped Harry’s testicles in her fingers and squeezed them gently while deep throating him. Harry could feel a pleasant heaviness settle in his pelvis and he threw back his head giving into Ginny’s ministrations.

‘Ah fuck Gin I’m close’ He groaned bucking his hips ‘AH UH ARRRRRRRGGGGGHHHHH!’

The climax hit Harry like a sledgehammer and like volcano he erupted spilling himself into Ginny. She lapped it up as if she were starving then got to her feet and kissed Harry hard on the lips

‘Mmmmm that was nice’ Ginny said pulling away from the kiss ‘You taste sweet, like chocolate’

‘Well I’ve been eating a fair bit of that tonight’ Harry said pulling her close and kissing her on the neck ‘Better than drinking vinegar’ He added with a snort

‘Ew’ Ginny said slapping his arm with a grin ‘You can suck yourself off if you ever do that’

There was a moment of silence then they burst into laughter.

‘Okay tie to swap’ Harry said getting up from the stool and pushing Ginny into the stool ‘Spread ‘em and scream darling’

‘Ha!’

Harry dropped to his knees and started at Ginny’s feet he ran the tip of his tongue around each toe causing her to squirm and moan.

‘Harry my feet are ticklish you know that you prat!’ She exclaimed jerking away from him.

‘Yeah but you love me’ Harry said grabbing her feet back and dropping a ring of kisses around her ankles.

‘That’s the only reason I let you do that’

Harry loved driving Ginny mad so he took his time making his way up her legs. He nipped, nibbled and kissed her skin then eventually plunged his tongue into her warm center. Ginny bucked her petite form so hard she almost fell off the stool. Harry steadied her then resumed. He slid two fingers into her and latched onto her clit. Ginny grasped the edge of the stool and let out an ear piercing squeal.

‘Ahhh fuck Hareeeeeeeeee!’ She moaned squeezing her eyes shut hard and biting her lip ‘Hey did you remember to cast a silencing charm?’

‘No’ Harry said not breaking stride.

‘Bloody hell Harry everyone would’ve just heard us!’ Ginny exclaimed.

‘Nah they wouldn’t have’ Harry said pausing and circling her clit with his thumb ‘The Weird Sisters are playing too loud and everyone is outside’

‘You’re a pain in the arse’

Harry plunged his tongue into Ginny again and brought her to an almost instant earth shattering climax.

‘FUCK YOU HARRY POTTER YOU EVIL PIECE OF SHIT!’ She screamed ‘Ahhh fucking hell!’

Harry got to her feet held Ginny against the nearest wall and thrust himself into her. Ginny just let out a loud guttural groan and wrapped her petite legs around his hips.

Harry felt like he was in another world when making love to Ginny and this time(As usual) he thrusted with all the force and strength he could muster causing several notes and pictures to fall off the noticeboard from the friction of their activities.

‘Ahhh fuckin’ e’ll Gin I’m not going to last long this time’ Harry groaned reaching down and rubbing her arousal ‘FuckinhellfuckinhellfuckinhellfuckinhellFUUUUUUUUUCKINHEEEEEEEEL!’

With one final thrust Harry once again spilled his essence into Ginny her womanhood clenched around him and she came to her own climax soon after and then they both stood against the wall heaving from their exertions.

‘Fucking HELL!’ Harry puffed ‘Shit shit shit. Ginerva Molly Weasley you ARE going to kill me one day I swear you will!’

‘Well it’s best to go out with a bang eh?’ Ginny said with a giggle that was completely hers resting her hands on his well defined biceps.

‘I know what I like to bang’ Harry said gruffly kissing her neck and gently letting her down to the floor ‘That’s how I’m going to die in the heat of passion’

‘Not on top of me you ain’t’ Ginny said reaching for her discarded knickers ‘I don’t want a sexed up corpse on my body’

Harry snorted.
‘C’mon we better get out and socialize or we’ll get busted’ He said pulling on his underpants.

‘You know sometimes I think you want to be caught’ Ginny said pulling on her skirt ‘You seem to have a thing for public sex’

‘Nah I have a thing for sex with you’ Harry said pulling on his trousers ‘Hey that’s an idea!’

‘What?’

‘Lets go to Diagon Alley one day and make love under my invisibility cloak’ Harry said with a grin

‘Fuck off! I am not doing that!’ Ginny exclaimed her face a mixture of horror and amusement ‘Where do you get these ideas? Are you on drugs? No hang on you’re secretly brewing a Hallucinating Draught and you’re off your na na’

Harry laughed loudly.
‘Thought that would get your attention’ He said turning his shirt the right way out ‘Even I wouldn’t do that’

‘Thought I knew you better than that’
