Chapter 1-The Letter

"Oi Potter! Get your lazy arse up now." A feminine voice screeched as Harry Potter awoke from his almost peaceful slumber.
"Whatsgoingon?" He asked stupidly. Reaching for his glasses.
"This demented owl wants to give you its letter." Snapped the voice.
The owl hooted indignantly. As if it knew the woman was calling it names.

Finally locating his glasses. Harry perched them on his nose then blinked as the annoyed face of his girlfriend, Ginny Weasley came into view. On Harry's window sill sat an equally irritated owl holding a letter with the Gringotts seal on it.

Meanwhile in the untidy living room that was stationed underneath the bedrooms. The Weasley's, Hermione and the two elder Lupin's were arranged silently. Waiting for the next explosion where Harry would no doubt express his dislike of being awoken.
But no sound came.

"Do you think it's safe to go up now?" Ron asked the room.
"Of course not Ronald!" Hermione answered exasperatedly. "Do you walk into a lion's mouth?" Ron shook his head. "Well if you aren't stupid enough to do that, you're not stupid enough to walk into Harry's room whilst he and Ginny are having a battle of words.
"More likely a battle of tongues anyway." Ron muttered sulkily.
"Whatever." Hermione cried in exasperation.
"Eva!" Gurgled Teddy.
His parents beamed at him.

"How do you know that Harry and Ginny are arguing anyhow?" One of the twins pleasantly asked Hermione.
Hermione flushed. "I don't." She admitted. "But I do suspect it, as I know that Ginny was seeking a good argument, Harry is easy to rile up in the mornings and Ginny's shouting was a good indication."
"How come we can't still here them then?" Asked the other twin.
"Silencing Charms!" Hermione exclaimed, surprised anyone could be so ignorant.
Some of the Weasley men began to snigger and nudge each other.
"Right. Like they'd really think of using a silencing charm in the middle of their fight." Ron said sarcastically.
"Do you know what other uses silencing charms have, Hermione? Charlie asked lightly.
The guys snorted.
"Boy's get your heads out of the gutter now!" A flushed and fuming Mrs. Weasley yelled.
Mr. Weasley and Remus both had the decency to look ashamed of themselves. Hermione just looked confused.

As he took the envelope from the waiting owl, Harry wondered aloud. "I wonder what this will be about."
"I don't know." Ginny answered. "Neither did Bill. He just said you should the letter pronto because Gringotts don't like to be kept waiting."

Harry began to read the letter. Suddenly he gasped.
"What does it say?" Ginny asked curiously.
Harry quickly finished scanning the letter then read it through once more as if to check what he had just read was real before wordlessly handing the piece of parchment to Ginny.

Ginny too, let out a surprised gasp as she read the letter. When she had finished she placed the letter on the bed then turned and gave Harry a comforting hug. "Are you feeling alright?" she asked into his shoulder.
When he didn't answer, she stepped out if the hug and turned to face him. "So you've got another house now." She said.
Seeing he wasn't going to get away with not answering. Harry answered distractedly, "I've got a bit more than that."

Sensing that Harry was struggling to think straight, Ginny decided to take to charge.
"Right! Now you have read you letter, I want you to send a reply to Gringotts confirming you received their letter, then come downstairs with me to tell everyone what the letter said because they are just dying to know."
"I hope they're not dying." Harry said with fake concern.
Ginny rolled her eyes.

Harry scrawled a reply to Gringotts and tied it to the owl's leg. Then with a grin turned to face Ginny.
"Well everyone is just going to have to wait." He said then smirked. "Because I'm not going downstairs in my boxers."
Ginny blushed as she registered just how little Harry was wearing and how she couldn't help but let her eyes roam over his body.
Harry noticed her reaction and a plan began to form in his mind.
"I'll just go and wait outside while you get dressed." A pink faced Ginny stammered.
"Not yet!" Harry growled. "Since you awoke me so rudely this morning, you have to make it up to me first.
"Oh yes?" Ginny raised an eyebrow. But when she felt Harry's arms circle her waist she added flirtatiously. "And how do you intend for me to do that?"
"Like this." Harry answered her before kissing her gently.
He pulled away after a few moments.

"Is that the best you can do?" Ginny asked incredulously.
"You do better." Harry challenged.
Ginny answered by kissing him hard. Probing his mouth with her tongue, asking for entrance. Harry eagerly complied.
Their tongues explored as the kiss became wild and passionate.

After several long minutes. The couple pulled away breathless and both looking like a cat that had swallowed a particularly fat Carney.
"I go and wait outside now." Ginny told Harry.

Five minutes later, Harry and Ginny walked downstairs hand in hand. They slipped into the living room and had sat down before Hermione noticed them.
"Gosh Harry. You look as white as a ghost." She said. "What curse did Ginny hit you with?"
Ginny spluttered indignantly. "I didn't do anything. It was the letter."
"What did it say?" Bill asked curiously.
"It said that I now own my parents houses and the rest of the Potter Fortune." Harry said faintly then directed a question at Remus. "I thought that my vault did hold the Potter Fortune?
Remus shifted uncomfortably. "That was just a tenth of the money you parents set aside for you as a child. The magical objects are in another vault altogether.

"There's something down here about some shares as well." Ginny pointed out.
"Oh that!" Remus gave a Marauder worthy grin. "Well put it this way." He said. "Your shares have a big influence on some of the biggest wizarding businesses in Britain."
"I noticed that Quality Quidditch Supplies are on the list." Harry mentioned with a grin.

Remus grinned back. "Your dad saw some shares advertised and brought them. Then he helped Quality Quidditch Supplies become the profitable place they are today. And he also helped with the invention of the Nimbus 2000."
"Wicked!" Exclaimed the twins and Ginny.
"Amazing," said Ron.
Harry grinned proudly.

"I'm going to go to my parents houses." Harry said out of the blue, a few minutes later.
Ginny squeezed his hand reassuringly.
"Are you going back to Godric's Hollow?" Hermione asked.
Harry shook his head. "Just Potter's Place and Marauder's Mountain."
"Is Marauder's Mountain, a real mountain?" Hermione asked with disbelief.
"Just a shack on the mountain side." Remus answered. "James and Sirius managed to cause many avalanches when they were."
Harry snorted.

"Hold on a minute." Said Fred.
"Do you mean you three were…" said George.
"Marauder's!" They chorused.
"Yes." Remus admitted.
"Our hero and inspiration." Said Fred.
"Which Marauder were you? Asked George.
"I was Moony, Sirius was Padfoot and James was Prongs." Remus answered.
"Who was Wormtail?" George asked.
"Peter Pettigrew." Remus answered bitterly.

"So do you want any company when you go?" Remus asked Harry to change the subject.
"Normally I would." Harry answered thoughtfully. "But I was hoping Ginny would come."
"Sure!" said Ginny.
"Why Ginny?" Bill asked.
"Because in this letter, my dad requested that I take a female friend that is preferably red headed." Harry replied dryly.
Remus laughed. "Well I can't deny my friend his dying wish can I. What else did either of your parents request?"
"My father said to throw an eighteenth birthday bash at Potter's Place."
"Palace, Potter Palace." Remus corrected him.
"And my Mother requests I behave myself." Harry concluded in an injured tone.
Everyone laughed.

"I thought that it said Palace. But then I thought that I sounded too Malfoy. "Ginny commented.
"The Potter's were an old wizarding family." Remus told her.
"Are you saying my family was like the Malfoy's?" Harry accused Ginny.
"Nope." Ginny giggled. "You're way cuter!"
Harry sighed."At least you boost my ego."
