Harry woke the next morning with Ginny wrapped tightly in his arms. They had fallen asleep the night before on the couch. At some point during the night or early in the morning someone had laid a blanket across them. Ginny was snuggled close into Harry’s chest breathing gently. Harry gave her a gentle squeeze followed with a light kiss to her forehead. Harry laid there enjoying the closeness with Ginny as they shared each others warmth. Movement in the room finally caught his attention, there sitting in a chair across from the couch was Emma. Upon her face was a peaceful smile as she watched her brother and his fiancé.

“Morning Emma, is everything alright?” Harry asked quietly.

Emma’s smile widen as she said warmly, “Of course Harry I am just happy that I am here with you, and I get to go to school with you. In some ways it’s like we get a second chance to be kids again together.”

Harry watched his sister thoughtfully for a moment.  He then had an idea and asked, “Emma how about you take a trip to Diagon Alley with me today. We’ll both need to get some things for school, and we’ll get to spend some time together.”

“That sounds great,” Emma beamed as she jumped to her feet, “I’ll go get ready.”

Harry chuckled at her excitement as she ran up the stairs while he was admitting to himself that he was pretty excited to spend some time with his sister as well. Ginny awaked by the sound of Emma’s running up the stairs snuggled deeper into Harry with a purr that caught his attention. Harry looked down into her brown eyes gazing into his and smiled as she pulled him to her for a proper good morning snogging.

“G’morning,” Harry said breathlessly when she released him.

“Good morning Mr. Potter,” Ginny smiled mischievously, “How did my fiancé sleep?”

“Perfectly, how could I not with a beautiful woman like you beside me,” Harry answered.

“Oy that’s enough you two,” Ron scowled as he came down the stairs and took a seat in the armchair Emma had occupied moments before, “Just because you’re engaged doesn’t mean you can snog my sister anytime you feel like Harry.”

Ginny glared at her brother with her blazing eyes and was about to retort when Harry cut in, “Actually mate I think it does so you better get use to it because I have some time to make up for.”

Ron stared his mouth opened in shock at Harry’s answer. Ginny also looked at Harry in shock as he stood his ground against her brother. She smiled warmly and him and pulled him in for a quick peck on the lips to show her approval. Ron grunted but remained otherwise quiet.

“Well what are you going to do today Harry?” Ron asked.

Harry responded, “Well I was going to take Emma to see Diagon Alley and perhaps get our school supplies while we are out. You lot are more than welcome to join us.”

“No Harry it is alright, you and Emma should go alone.” Ginny stated when it appeared Ron was about to accept Harry’s offer to tag along. “You two have many years to catch up on don’t you?”

“Yes love your right we do,” Harry smiled appreciating her understanding.

“Besides, I have a wedding to plan,” Ginny said with a twinkle in her eye, “and I am sure you could help us Ronald.”

“Me, help plan a wedding!” Ron exclaimed with a look of horror on his face, “Have you gone bloody mental Ginny? Besides Harry we haven’t even received a list of things we need yet have we?”

“No Ron your right, and we don’t know what house she’ll be in either, but Professor McGonagall did say she’d stop by this morning.” Harry informed.
