Disclaimer: Why do we use the phrase 'own' because I own all the books, in fact I have two copies of the 2nd, 6th and 7th, though my 5th is falling apart, maybe I should get a new one…but I guess for old times sake—I don't own Ginny, Harry, Ron, Hermione, the rest of the Weasleys or anything else JKR decided to include in her books, which are upstairs.
"Ron! Ginny dear! Harry! Oh it's so good to see you all," Mrs. Weasley exclaimed as soon as they glimpsed her.
"Hi mum," Ginny called and ran to hug her mother.
"Hello everyone," Mr. Weasley said.
"Hi," Harry said standing somewhat awkwardly behind the two siblings and their parents. The family started waking forward, toward the congested barrier between the platform and the Muggle world.
"Harry, hurry up," Ron called to him. Harry sprinted forward and joined the family.
"Harry, you must tell me some things," Mr. Weasley started. "it's just I've been put on this case to help clean up a small town, moving Muggles out of a neighborhood so wizards can live there and it is covered with writing on it's outside walls."
"Yeah that would be graffiti," Harry told him.
"Yes but why is it there?"
"Teen's do it to be rebellious I guess. I think my cousin Dudley did it a lot. His parents never knew though they just thought her was their little angle or something."
"So it is to rebel from their parents?"
"Yeah, I guess like wizards perform curses on each other and stuff."
"I see. Well the problem is after we clean the walls there always is more. Not the same so I know it isn't a wizards or something, but we can't keep the walls clean.
"Well then it's probably populated with kids that are accustomed to that. If I were you I'd pick a different area to change."
"Well I guess we could do that."
"Daddy, it's our turn, come on!" Ginny hollered from the noise. Causing Harry and Mr. Weasley to run forward and catch the rest of the group.
"Ginny can you come in here? I need help cooking," Mrs. Weasley called into the living room where Harry, Ginny and Ron were working on their homework.
"Mom, can I come in a minute? I'm almost done with my charms essay," Ginny pleaded.
"Dear, I really need help NOW," Mrs. Weasley called. Ginny sighed and got up to leave.
"Why does she always need me?" Ginny murmured as she left.
"Are you still shagging my sister?" Ron asked as soon as she was gone.
"A little eager?" Harry responded trying to blow off the question.
"No, now answer."
"What?"
"Are you and Ginny still shagging each other?"
"Not recently."
"Define recently."
"Ever science I had to share your room."
"We've been home for 4 days."
"Well there's your answer."
"Really you two are like rabbits."
"No we aren't. Rabbits don't use protection."
"Thank you for being responsible."
"We'll it's not like I have a choice."
"What do you mean?"
"You said last Monday that if I get her pregnant you'll kill me."
"I never said that."
"What did you say?"
"That if you are irresponsible I'll kill you."
"Same idea."
"No, it's not. Think if they misquoted Gryffindor."
"You aren't Gryffindor."
"I might be equivalent to him."
"Nah, I would be, just the little scar and all."
"Shut up."
"Do your homework. If you don't Hermione will lash out on you."
"She never does that."
"She might, her influence and all."
"We're more of an influence on her that her on us."
"Well maybe."
"Sure. Hey what's the polyjuice potion for?"
'You really don't remember."
"Oh, yeah…"
"Hi guys," Ginny said as she sat back down.
"You know your brother is an idiot?" Harry asked her.
"What do you mean?" She asked.
"He didn't know that the polyjuice potion was for."
"Yes an idiot." She said.
"Hello my little schoolchildren," George shouted at Harry, Ron, and Ginny as he entered the house.
"Happy Christmas George," Ginny said and ran to get a hug from her brother.
"It's not Christmas little sister, its only Christmas Eve!" George said to her.
"George?" Mrs. Wesley's voice came from the kitchen.
"Hi mum," George said and detaching Ginny he walked in the kitchen.
"George?" Bill called from upstairs.
"He's down here!" Ron hollered.
"Everyone, Molly's got dinner on the table, let's eat," Mr. Weasley's magnified voice rang throughout the rickety house.
"Com'on Harry," Ron said and pull him into the dining room.
"Harry, I still can't believe you got me this," Ginny said gesturing to the small locket around her neck while walking down the road with Harry.
"I just don't believe you like it so much," He commented.
"While it really is amazing. I mean solid emeralds with red gold, how did you find it?"
"It reminded me of you."
"It's so pretty," Ginny said and gave Harry a peck on the cheek. He turned and kissed her. They stood nearly motionless for five minutes.
"Harry, Harry!" Ron hollered coming at a run toward them. Harry and Ginny sprang apart.
"What Ron?" Harry asked annoyed at the uncanny ability for Ron to interrupt him and Ginny over the break.
"There's someone form the ministry that wants to see you. Something about your inheritance."
"Alright, come on Ginny," Harry said and apperated back to the Burrow.
"Mr. Potter, thank you for coming. I don't know if Mr. Weasley told you, but we have some of your inheritance that was detained from you because of your age." The ministry official, a Mr. Neal said.
"Oh, but shouldn't I have gotten it when I was 17?" Harry asked.
"Well in most cases that is how it works, but because your mother insisted, your parents decided to change it in their will until you were 18. I apologize for taking this long, but we were quite busy over this summer as you can imagine, and then you were in Hogwarts, so…" Mr. Neal s[pitted out.
"Okay I guess," Harry said. "I can see how you were busy."
"Well I could have you come with me to the ministry; there are some things you've to sign. And then I'll be able to show you what you've received," Neal said and grabbed his cloak. Harry turned and walked outside, with Neal at his heals. In a moment he was standing in the Ministry's entrance hall, noticing the fountain of the magical being had been restored to its proper place.
"Come along," Neal said leading the way to the visitors' window. Harry registered his wand and followed Neal into the elevator. 'Floor three, departments of death, inheritance, marriages and births.' The voice said as the elevator stopped. Neal walked briskly into his office with Harry trailing behind.
"Now there are a few things I need you to sign, jus t to state we've handed it over to you. Oh, would you mind shutting the door. Thanks, anyway as I'm sure you know your parents were very wealthy. Anyway you have quite a lot to receive. Fist is the Potter Manor, located near White Castle and all its contents. Next is a large sum of money. Yes I know you have a vault, but that is a very small amount compared to what you will receive. Lastly is the matter of your parent's Godric's Hallow home. You see it is in ruins and a bit of a landmark. Therefore there most likely will be a lot of controversy if you inherit it. However it is yours so I can't say no." Neal said.
"I want the Godric's Hallow cottage. I mean I went there a few time and I want it," Harry said.
"Alright, if you wouldn't mind signing these and then I can show the houses all to you. I don't think it makes sense to go to gringots, I'll simply have them send you the key." Neal said and handed an old parchment for Harry to sign. On the sheet, Harry noticed his parents' signatures right above where he added his own. He handed the sheet back to Neal and watched as he mad a copy, which he handed Harry.
"Ron, Hermione, will you two hurry up, I want to see this house," Ginny said impatiently.
"It's really more of a mansion," Harry mumbled.
"Why do we have to walk, why can't we apperate there?" Ron asked.
"You won't get the effect if you walk, oh wait I see it," Harry exclaimed. Ron immediately Ran up to Harry and looked where his finger was pointing.
"That's bloody huge!" Ron exclaimed looking down at the gigantic house.
"It's beautiful," Ginny said.
"Apparently it's as big as Hogwarts," Harry told the group.
"It looks bigger," Hermione said.
"All I know is whet Neal told me," Harry said. "Now we can apperate to the front door Ron and see inside."
"Okay," Ron said and he vanished to the front door.
"Come on," Harry said and joined Ron. Giggling Hermione and Ginny followed the boys.
"Ready?" Harry asked as he pushed forward the front door. "Pinky? Lizzy? Knobby?"
"What are you saying?" Ron asked.
"You'll see," Harry said and as if on cue three house elves appeared in front of the group.
"Is there something Master Potter needs?" Pinky, dressed in a pink pillowcase, asked.
"I wanted to introduce you three to my friends, Hermione Granger, Ron Weasley and Ginny Weasley," Harry said to them.
"Hello," The three house elves said.
"Now I want you three to listen to them just like you do to me. Also how are Hopi and Stamper with Kreacher?"
"They are very good sir, very helpful. Grimlard Place is nearly cleaned out, it was much better than you said," Pinky told Harry.
"And the ones sent to Godric's Hollow?"
"They aren't as far along, but it is coming along," Lizzy, a high pitched house elf said.
"That's what I though. We'll I wanted to show my friends around. I'll call if I need you. Oh but do you think you could make some brownies?" Harry asked the three elves.
"Yes sir," The said and vanished.
"How many house elves do you have?" Ron asked.
"Um a dozen; oh wait no 13 because of Kretcher." Harry told him.
"Wow," Hermione said.
"Come on I want to show you something," Harry said and started down the corridor. The three blindly followed him. Finally after ten minutes of walking they came to a pair of French doors.
"Here," Harry said and opened the doors. Inside was a large room with couches and arm chairs. A fire had already been lit in the fire place. Over the fire place there was a massive painting of James and the rest of the Marauders except Peter. Along the other side was a small painting of James, Lily and a very small Harry.
"Holy shit," Ron said.
"Harry!" The James from the Marauder picture shouted.
"Hey, these are my friends," Harry told him.
"Is that one Ginny, or the other one?" James asked Sirius.
"I don't know if I should tell you mate," Sirius responded playfully.
"It's the redhead, mate," Remus said.
"Ah, well god she look a lot like Lily," James said.
"Will you shut up, Lily just got the baby to sleep, and do you want to listen to crying again? I don't know why mum made me paint up with an infant," the James from the other picture said.
"Wow, this is incredible," Ginny said.
"It sure is Ginny," Sirius said.
"Why didn't any of you mention that Harry had all this?" Hermione asked. "I mean really Remus why didn't you say anything?"
"It was part of the secrete," James told Hermione.
"Oh," Hermione said.
"Hey you guys want to see the rest?" Harry asked.
"I do," Ginny said.
"Here, I show you their rooms," Harry said and walked into a door with a picture of snitch on the door. Inside was completely decked out in Quidditch stuff. In a corner there was a small vanity with a picture of Lily and James at their Hogwarts Graduation with Lily showing off a ring, and another at their wedding.
"This was your parents?" Hermione asked. Harry nodded.
"Course first it was only my dad's. My mum's old room became mine." Harry said.
"I want to see it," Ginny said. Harry laughed and walked into another r Room, this one with a picture of a lily open the door. The walls were a light green and there was a small crib near the window. A box of diapers still sat on the changing table.
"Why did James let there be a green room in his house?" Ron asked jokingly.
"Cause it was my mum's favorite color." Harry told him
The group passed into Sirius' old room, showing little but Quidditch posters and poster of girls. Remus' room had large bookshelves across one wall and a massive desk in the corner. Lastly they four some went to Peter's room.
"Whoa," Ron said. "What the hell happened in here?"
"Sirius got mad," Harry told them. "He had Remus in here during one of his transformations right after the Halloween. Then the two stopping living here because, well Sirius getting arrested and everything. The house elves took care of it.
"How do you like our teenage decorating?" Sirius asked from the portrait as the foursome came back into the common room.
"It's interesting," Hermione said.
"Well I agree with you," Lily said and gave the James in her portrait a kiss.
"Harry, we have to meet with the prefects," Ginny said.
"Okay, bye Ron, don't forget what I talked to you about," Harry said turning to follow Ginny.
"Really how could I?" Ron muttered and walked off to find Hermione.
