Over the next few weeks Ginny was busy planning her party and spending time with Harry and Teddy. She couldn't wait for Harry to meet her friends so he could interact with people his own age.

She was laying on her stomach in Harry's bed, naked, the blanket pushed down to the small of her back as Harry placed feather light kisses down her spine. After they had put Teddy to bed they decided to spend some time together before she had to head home to help her family set up for her party the next day.

"It's not going to work." She said without opening her eyes as he ran one hand gently up her leg.

"What's not going to work?" he asked against her skin.

Ginny sighed grabbed the blanket and rolled over covering herself. "You know I can't stay." She said looking down at him. Harry sighed moving up to hover over her "I need to be home to great my brothers and help set up. If I'm not they'll get suspicious." She said cupping his cheek "Please don't make this harder than it already is."

Harry closed his eyes leaning into her touch before kissing her lightly and flipping over onto his back letting her up. Ginny smiled and rolled onto her side kissing his cheek quickly before getting out of bed and pulling her clothes back on. When she was fully dressed she turned back to Harry to find him watching her.

She walked around the bed and leaned over kissing him lightly "Don't forget to be there at noon." She whispered against his lips before pulling back.

"I promise." He said smiling at her before she slowly walked out the door and down to the apparation point before apparating back to the burrow. She snuck in quietly making sure she didn't wake anyone up before climbing into bed and attempting to sleep.

When Ginny woke up the next morning she was still tired, she didn't get much sleep without Harry to cuddle with. She slowly got up and went to take a shower. When she was done she quickly dressed in a flowy black skirt and a dark purple shirt, she applied a little mascara and lip gloss before walking down stairs.

As soon as she walked into the kitchen she was almost tackled in a hug "Happy birthday Ginny." Her mother said hugging her tightly with tears in her eyes.

"Alright mom you don't want to suffocate her." she heard a male voice say. Her mother released her whipping at her eyes. "Happy birthday Ginny." Her brother Charlie said moving into her line of sight.

"Charlie!" she yelled jumping at her brother hugging him fiercely.

Charlie laughed and hugged her back "Hey squirt."

Ginny pulled back "How is Romania?" she asked moving to sit at the table.

Charlie sat across from her smiling and began to tell her all about his time in Romania. At some point during his story Ron wandered down the stairs plopped into the sea next to Charlie and began to stuff his face.

A commotion in the family room caught everyone's attention, a few seconds later Bill his wife, Fleur, and their 1 year old daughter, Victoire. "Bill, Fleur, it's so good to see you." She said hugging first Bill then Fleur lightly taking her sleeping niece and rocking her gently.

Fleur watched her quizzically seeing something a little more maternal about the way Ginny was with Victoire, but she was quickly pulled out of her thoughts as Molly asked her something.

A little while later Fred, George, Percy, and her father arrived at the burrow Hermione, Ron's girlfriend following after them. Ginny smiled and handed Victoire back to Fleur and greeting her brothers and father in turn. "Happy Birthday firefly." Her dad whispered.

"Thanks dad." Ginny whispered back.

"Alright now that everyone is here why don't we head out to the garden and eat." Molly said catching every ones attention.

As they all filed out Ginny pulled her mom aside "Um we need to set two more places." Ginny said quietly. Molly smiled knowingly at her daughter before nodding and grabbing two extra place settings.

They all walked outside each carrying a plate of food with them and set the table "What's with the two extra place settings mum?" Fred asked.

Molly was saved from answering at the unmistakable sound of apparation. They all turned to see two figures standing just outside the gate. Ginny smiled and handed the last plate to her mother before walking up the lane to meet Harry and Teddy.

When she got close Teddy smiled and launched himself at her "Happy birthday mummy!" he called hugging her tightly. Ginny noticed he decided on Harry's black hair and her brown eyes again.

"Thanks sweetheart." She said smiling kissing his cheek, she lightly placed him down grabbing his hand before turning to Harry.

He smiled at her "Happy birthday Gin." He said placing his hands on her hips and kissing her lightly. "I can't wait to repay the birthday present you gave me, later." He whispered against her lips. Ginny gasped quietly making Harry smile and pull back, before pulling a flat square package from his pocket.

"Harry, I thought I said no presents. It doesn't feel right that I couldn't give you one." She said rubbing circles into his biceps with her thumbs.

Harry cupped her cheek and gently forced her to look up at him "Hey you gave me the best present I've ever gotten, you." He whispered before kissing her lightly again placing the package in her hand and picking Teddy up swinging him onto his hip.

Ginny smiled at him before unwrapping her gift. She looked up at Harry with wide eyes at the beautiful silver heart shaped locket with small roses etched into it. "Open it." Harry whispered. Ginny obliged and smiled at the small pictures of Harry and Teddy on either side of the locket. She closed the locket before putting it on.

"I love it, thank you." She said retching up and kissing Harry lightly.

"I helped pick it out." Teddy said sulkily.

Ginny pulled back and smiled at Teddy's pouting face, she quickly stole him from Harry kissing his nose making him giggle. "And I thank you for that little man." Teddy smiled and kissed her cheek in turn. "Ok what do you say we go and meet the rest of my family?" she asked setting Teddy down and grabbing Harry's hand leading them down the lane and toward her family.

When they made it back to her family they were all gaping at them. Ginny smiled "Hey guys this is Harry, my boyfriend, and his godson Teddy." She introduced. "Harry, Teddy this is my father, my mum, my twins Fred and George, Charlie, Bill, his wife Fleur, their daughter Victoire, Percy and you already know Ron and that's his girlfriend Hermione."

Her father seemed to snap out of his shock first and stood holding his hand out to Harry "Hello it's great to finally meet the man who has captured my little girls heart." he said making Ginny blush.

"It's nice to meet you as well," He said looking down at her "and she's stolen mine as well." she smiled up at him brightly.

"Please, sit down we are about to eat." Her father said motioning toward their seats. Harry smiled and helped Teddy into his seat before sitting down next to Ginny. When everyone was seated conversation started up at the table again, although everyone sent Ginny and Harry glances every now and then.

As Harry was about to cut Teddy's pot roast he said something that stopped all conversation "Daddy, can mummy cut it?"

Everything was silent for a moment before Ron seamed to snap "Why did he call you that?" he asked anger flashing in his eyes.

"Ron, not now." Ginny said threateningly.

"No why did that kid call you mum?" Ron said his temper rising "He has no right to call you that he is not your son, unless there's something you need to tell us." He said bitingly.

Everyone at the table gasped and stared at Ron in shock "Ronald!" Molly yelled appalled that her son could even think that.

"Ginny could you please take Teddy inside for a minute, I'd like to talk to your family alone." Harry said deathly quiet staring at Ron.

Everyone's gaze swiveled to him and Ginny stood up "Of course, come on sweetheart." She said picking Teddy up and walking toward the house.

Harry waited until the door was closed before he started talking "I get that you don't like me, but that doesn't mean that you get to take it out on my godson or the women I love, who happens to be your sister." Harry said calmly holding up his hand to stop Ron's retort "Teddy lost both of his parents to the war, he has no one left but me, and your sister has been more of a mother to him than that little boy could ever ask for, so I would appreciate it if you didn't ever talk like that in front of my god son ever again." Harry said his anger burning in his eyes frightening everyone at the table.

Harry slowly stood up and started to walk toward the house but stopped and turned back toward the family "Oh and I would highly suggest you never talk about Ginny like that again, or there's no telling what will happen."

"Is that a threat?" Ron asked narrowing his eyes.

"No it's a promise." Harry said before turning on his heal and walking into the house.

Everyone was silent for a few seconds "You really messed up this time Ron." Bill said tossing his napkin onto his plate and standing up following after Harry, Charlie stood as well following his brother.

When Ginny walked into the house she lightly placed Teddy into one of the kitchen chairs and turned to look out the window, the hurt of what her brother had said finally hit her and tears sprang to her eyes as she covered her mouth with her hand to hold in her sob.

"Mummy did I do something wrong?" Teddy asked timidly.

Ginny turned to Teddy surprised by his question "No sweetheart, of course you didn't do anything wrong." She said kneeling in front of him.

"Then why are you crying?" he asked whipping a tear from her face.

Ginny smiled sadly "It has nothing to do with you sweetheart, someone just said something really hurtful that's all." She said pulling him into her arms and hugging him tightly.

The door opening broke them apart "Hey." Harry said pulling her up and into his arms "I'm so sorry you had to hear that. A brother should never say anything like that to their sister." He whispered kissing the side of her head.

"Can we just go home?" she asked shakily pulling back slightly "I can't stay here in the same house as him anymore, and I'm not really in the celebrating mood anymore." She said. Harry nodded and kissed her forehead. "Thank you I'm just going to go grab my things ok?" again Harry nodded and let her go watching her walk out of the kitchen.

"Daddy?" Teddy asked getting Harry's attention "How can we make mummy feel better?"

Harry sighed and knelt in front of Teddy "Nothing bud all we can do is be there for her ok, just talk to her let her know you love her alright?" he told him gently.

"Ok daddy." He said making Harry smile and ruffle his hair.

"I'm sorry about my brother." Harry heard someone say behind him he stood up and turned to find Ginny's oldest brothers standing in the door way. "There is no apologizing or forgiving what he said, it was low and I don't know how he could have said that, but we don't have anything against you." Bill said.

"We can see how much you love her and how much she loves you, and we'd like to get to know you, if you're willing to that is." Charlie finished looking at Harry hopefully.

Harry smiled slightly "I would like that, I know it would mean a lot to Ginny and it would mean a lot to me too." He said holding out his hand. Both boys smiled and shook his hand. Harry looked back at Teddy and an idea popped into his head. "Hey um I think I could still get Ginny to go to the party and salvage at least some of her birthday, I just need two things from you guys."

"Anything, all we want is for Ginny to be happy." Bill said.

"I need you to watch Teddy during the party and keep Ron away from her. I think the best thing for her right now is to get away from him. Have a little space and time to herself." He said.

"Ok we can do that." Charlie said "Our mum can watch Teddy and dad can keep Ron away."

"Good," Harry said turning at the light footsteps coming around the corner. Ginny walked into the kitchen a large bag slung over her shoulder. "Hey are you ready to go?" he asked wrapping an arm around her waist and kissing her temple. Ginny nodded placing her head on his shoulder wrapping her arms around his waist.

"I hope you feel better Gin, and even though it doesn't make up for what he said I'm really sorry." Bill told her, Ginny smiled sadly before letting go of Harry and hugging both her brothers.

"Thank you." She said returning to Harry's side.

"Alright bud come on lets go home." Harry said holding out his hand for Teddy. He took it and they all walked out and over to the rest of the family. Bill and Charlie took their seats as everyone looked expectantly at Harry and Ginny.

Ginny took a deep breath before turning to her mom and dad "I'm going to stay at Harry's," she said "I'm sorry but I can't stay here after…" Ginny closed her eyes shaking her head and Harry clutched her closer. "I can't live under the same roof as him anymore, I promise I'll still visit, but-"

Ginny was cut off as Ron stood up "This is bullshit!" he yelled "You can't live with him you barely know him! Just because you slept with him doesn't mean you love him!" he yelled at her, making her flinch and almost shrink back behind Harry.

"Ronald!" both Molly and Arthur said at the same time outraged.

"Ron sit down and shut up." Bill warned him, but Ron ignored both of them.

Harry deciding he had enough turned to Ginny "You don't need to take this." He told her gently and she nodded. Harry quickly picked up Teddy who was sniffling quietly and started to quickly walk down the lane Ginny gripping his hand tightly.

"Wow I didn't know you were that kind of girl, sleep with the first guy you meet in a bar and immediately you think you love him!" Ron called after them. "I hope he knows he's just a rebound!"

Something inside Harry seamed to snap and he stopped handing Teddy to Ginny, she looked at him confused "Go I'll meet you I promise." He whispered before kissing her lightly, and turning back around to face Ron inconspicuously drawing his wand.

"That's enough Ron!" he called striding forward.

"No you've done something to her I know you have!" he called back pointing his wand at Harry.

"Ron you don't want to do this." He said loud enough for Ron to hear. Ron hesitated a second before Harry noticed the muscles in his arm tighten and his mouth open slightly ready to fire a spell. Harry was faster quickly firing off a none verbal stunning spell sending Ron sprawling on the ground.

Harry walked purposefully over to him and leaned down so only Ron could hear him "You're finished as an Auror, don't bother coming back into the office." He said menacingly standing up and striding back over to Ginny "Let's go home." He whispered and she nodded as they apparated away.

When they got to Grimmauld Place Harry turned to her and lightly cupped her cheek "Why don't you go lay down and I'll join you in a minute I just need to put this little guy down." He said.

"Okay." Ginny said in a small voice handing Teddy back to Harry and leaning up on her tip toes kissed his cheek "Thank you." She whispered before walking up the stairs.

"Ok little man let's get you some lunch before you take a nap." Harry said walking into the kitchen.

A little while later Harry silently opened the door to his bed room and closed it just as quietly placing a silencing charm on the room. His heart nearly broke at what he saw, Ginny was laying with her back facing him curled up in a ball on her side. She had changed into one of his shirts and pulled the curtains closed blocking out the light. What really broke his heart were the quiet sobs that racked her body.

Harry quietly slipped off his shirt and pants before climbing into bed behind her. Ginny stilled when she felt the bed shift holding her breath. Harry quietly scooted over to her so her back was against his chest gently pushed one arm under her head and wrapped the other around her threading his fingers through hers.

Ginny let her breath out and pulled their joined hands up under her chin and against her chest allowing her tears to flow once again. Harry didn't say anything he just held her as she cried.

After a few minutes Ginny turned and stared up at him "I'm sorry." She whispered.

Harry unthreaded their fingers and brushed her hair off her forehead "Why are you sorry?" he asked whipping her tears away. Ginny looked down and bit her lip "Hey you can tell me."

Ginny took a deep breath "For dragging you to see my family and trapping you into the worst lunch ever." She said miserably.

"You didn't trap me into anything love. I wanted to go and meet your family I'm just sorry it turned out so badly because of me. It's your birthday, you shouldn't be crying." He said gripping her waist lightly.

"I love you." Ginny whispered tracing his cheek with her finger tips.

"I love you too." He whispered back leaning down to kiss her lightly.

When he tried to pull away Ginny gripped the back of his neck "Show me how much you love me." She whispered against his lips. He pulled back looking down at her in confusion "Make love to me." She whispered almost desperately.

Harry didn't hesitate he leaned down and captured her lips in a heated and passionate kiss. His hand roamed down her side to the hem of her shirt and he slowly dragged it up and off of her body leaving her in just her bra and underwear. He slowly slipped his hand under her and unhooked her bra tossing it to the floor trailing his kisses down her neck.

He continued down her neck and to her chest kissing around each of her breasts before continuing down her stomach. When he reached the waistline of her underwear he hooked his index finger under it and slowly slipped them down her legs exposing her to him completely.

He slowly pushed her legs apart and crawled back up her body and in between her legs. He looked up at her for permission before slowly licking up her folds. Ginny moaned loudly her back arching off the bed in pleasure. He did it again and again continuing his sensual torture.

"Please." Ginny said her hands threading into his hair. Harry chuckled before gently pushing two fingers inside her curling them so he hit her sweat spot at the same time sucking on the little pearl at the top of her folds. Ginny cried out as her orgasm crashed through her.

When Ginny was able to catch her breath she opened her eyes to see Harry staring down at her. "That was amazing." She said breathlessly.

Harry smiled and kissed her nose "I'm glad you liked it but I'm not done with you yet." He said before flexing his hips forward and burying himself inside her completely. Ginny gasped at the sudden move before moaning as he moved above her slow and smooth. Slowly ever so slowly the pleasure built, even when she begged him to move faster he continued his slow torturous pace. When she tried to push him onto his back Harry grabbed her hands threaded their fingers together and pinned them to the bed. When she finally fell over the edge her back arched off the bed and she yelled Harry's name. After a few more thrusts Harry joined her stiffening above her calling out her name.

Harry rolled off of her and they both lay on their back panting. When she had caught her breath Ginny grabbed the sheet and snuggled into Harry side placing her head on his chest. "Thank you." She whispered looking up at him.

"For what?" he asked confused brushing her sweaty hair off her forehead.

"For making me feel loved." She whispered her eyes raw as they bore into his.

Harry smiled at her kissing her forehead "I'll always love you." He whispered back kissing her lightly before slipping out of bed.

"Where are you going?" she asked sitting up.

"To take a shower." Harry replied smiling over his shoulder "Care to join me?" he asked suggestively. Ginny giggled but slid off the bed and followed him into the bathroom.
