Harry awoke to a ray of light shining brightly in through the crack between the curtains; he groggily covered his eyes to shield him from the brightness. It was then that he noticed his other arm was wrapped around Ginny. They had slept side by side, his body wrapped around hers.
Once his eyes were adjusted he carefully got up not to wake Ginny and began dressing. Almost as though she had tuned into Harry's mind she jumped up to, looking wide awake 'good morning' Harry said admiring her stretching her arms up. 'Great night' Ginny shot back with a cheeky grin. She was definitely a morning person.
After they had dressed the young couple headed out the back into the small garden behind The Leaky Cauldron and after tapping on the wall, headed into the bustling Diagon Alley. It was abuzz with wizards and witches in robes of every colour, grabbing Ginny's hand Harry pulled her into Florean's.
They ordered something to eat for lunch, seeing as it was already 12.30pm and they had just gotten up. 'I'm glad we decided on a house near the burrow' said Ginny, 'it's going to be great living there, but if you ever decide you want to live at Godric's Hollow or Grimmauld Place, you just have to let me know'.
'Ginny' Harry said taking her hand 'we've talked about this before; I can't go to Godric's hollow because the painful memories haunt me, it's important to me, just not the ideal place to live. And 12 Grimmauld Place, well just don't feel right removing anything of Sirius', I would feel like I was disrespecting his memory' Harry still go a little teary at the thought of his godfather.
'Well, seeing as you've made up your mind, it sounds great to me, plus we'll be near mum and dad so if we have..' Ginny broke of what she was saying and looking at Harry. Who had his eyebrows' raised in amusement; Ginny had never mentioned children before. Ginny kept her poker face on 'if we have and trouble was what I was going to say' Harry raised his eyebrows' again and looked at her suspiciously. 'tell me what you were really going to say' he said gently, under the table he was running his foot up and down the side of her leg.
'I'm not trying to freak you out or anything but I just got carried away, I meant kids but it's no big deal if you're not interested' she said trying to act casual. 'well I'm glad you've thought about that because, I want twelve children' said Harry as seriously as he could, Ginny burst out laughing 'oh god how much truth is there behind that' Harry thought worth a moment and said
'fine, but I want at least three, one day, but no hurry, we have all the time in the world'. Harry smiled at the thought of living with Ginny for the rest of his life. They finished their meal and payed and headed back out into the street, it was madness 'it's always like this in June' Ginny started 'wizard kids get back form school and start demanding presents and things, I was quite accomplished at it' said Ginny with a satisfied grin on her pretty face.
After three hours of looking, laughing, and choosing anything that took their fancy, Harry and Ginny gave the furniture shop their address and then apparated to their new home. All the things they had picked out in the shop were already inside as they walked through the front door.
The handsome entrance with its grand staircase in the centre looked like a home now with the rugs, paintings and little bits they had selected. As they did a full circuit around the house's twenty five room's, all now almost completely furnished, Harry couldn't help but smile and they returned back to the entrance.
They had made a home. Ginny sat down on the rug at the entrance way looking at the huge marble staircase ahead of them and the beautiful house surrounding them, Harry joined her and the two of them lay flat on the ground on the rug at the doorway to their house, staring at the enchanted roof.
Harry reached out to hold Ginny's hand 'this is it' he whispered 'the way things are going to be, you and me living in our big house'. Ginny looked at Harry 'big? You call this plain old big, it's a mansion in comparison to the burrow, twenty five rooms!' Harry feeling cheeky quickly shot back at her 'that's twenty five nights of sleeping in a new room' Ginny laughed, she loved it when Harry talked dirty, which was rarely.
She suddenly felt and urge to grab him and kiss him, passionately holding on hand behind his head and the other pressed on his chest. After a minute or maybe an hour she pulled her lips away from his long enough to say 'well if we're going to sleep in every room we should begin with the first room of the house' and in the second it took Harry to register what she said, she had taken off his top and pants and given him a teasing look 'your turn'.
Harry, hungry for more decided to fight his temptation to grab Ginny and make love to her right now and instead decided to keep her on edge, slowly lifting her top over her head he began caressing her torso and curves. Then slowly running his fingers down her body slipped off her pants. He could tell he was teasing her, she trembled as his touch when he undressed her. Just hurry up and do it, thought Ginny. Harry had teased her for far too long.
At about four o'clock Harry and Ginny managed to pull themselves apart from each other. 'We've got to get ready for dinner' Ginny told Harry, who looked almost disappointed at the fact he would have resist touching her all night. But still it would be great to catch up with everyone before the wedding, which seemed to be very highly anticipated by everyone. Harry slipped on some casual navy robes and waited for Ginny, who appeared looking as fresh as ever in the entrance in simple black robes.
'Lets just walk to the burrow, I want some air' Ginny said and grabbing Harry's hand. so the two strolled together, hand in hand along the winding pathway, debating ferociously over the importance of cream in pumpkin soup. When the finally reached the front gate at the burrow, pushing the door to come in they could hear familiar voices and smells, following their senses up towards the burrow, knowing they were in for a long fun night.
