The Gift From Death Year 3

Chapter 9: Decisions

9th, August, 1998...

Ginny looked at Harry. "We need to talk." she said standing up as everyone else split into separate conversations or went to stretch their legs.

"Yes we do. Shall we go upstairs or outside?" he replied.

"Outside." he nodded and the two walked out to their favourite tree and sat down.

"So... What do you think about Kingsley's request?" Ginny asked.

"I think it's a good idea." he replied. "But there's a lot of complications with us adopting the twins."

"I know what you mean... I want to adopt them but..."

"There's the complication of what we're going to do with both of us returning to school?" Harry suggested. Ginny nodded. "I've been thinking about that too." he admitted, "Maybe our parent's would help. Your Mum loves kids, especially babies. My Mum loves kids too but I'm not sure how well she'd take to them..."

"With their father being the man who killed her and your father." Ginny nodded in understanding. "I'm sure she'd be fine, she doesn't seem like the kind of woman who would judge a child on who their parents are."

"I know but I think we would have to discuss this with them. There's something else." he said, "If we are going to take them then we'd need to work out how we're going to see them at school so they know who we are."

"Minerva might be able to help us. Maybe allow us to leave the school some evenings or allow someone to bring them in to see us."

"True. Do you think we should tell them about their Father if we do take them?"

"No. At least not until their 17 and can understand." Ginny said, "As far as they would know is they are ours, they won't be old enough to remember anything else. As it is, they're only a few hours old now."

"That's what I thought. So we both want to adopt them. Once I've sorted out everything with Gringotts we can go get some furniture and some other stuff like toys or something." Harry smiled. "You know I don't mind not working until they are old enough to go to school so you'd still be able to go into Professional Quidditch if you wanted to."

"Yes but if you will remember what Death said we can't be too far from each other. We'd need to see each other at least every few days to stay focused, if I was away for training or games that is."

"I could always come see you."

"We'll work something out. So are we both agreed that we will adopt the boys?"

"Yes. Now all we need to do is tell Kingsley, I wonder if it will be possible to go see them today and get a few pictures."

"Lets go ask." Ginny smiled. After a quick but passionate kiss the couple headed back towards the Burrow hand in hand.

WHILE HARRY AND GINNY WERE TALKING.

Lily and Dora were chatting happily away something the Marauders were quick to notice.

"At least we know the wives get along with each other." James muttered to Remus.
