Harry Potter and Glee

Chapter 2

Harry and Ginny had been planning their trip for a week now, they had sorted out timings and travel details, Ginny had even looked into housing in America. That was the hard part: Ginny wanted a quidditch pitch that of course had to be hidden by muggles, Harry wanted an owlery which also had to be hidden from muggles, and houses in America wasn't specific enough for her searching attempted, granted the only way of searching she had was an old residence book she had found in a muggle library.

"This isn't working, Harry. We need help."

Harry sighed, "I'll get Hermione." 

They had told the rest of the Weasleys abut the trip and they had all been surprisingly supportive even if they had dragged Ary off for a talk about boundaries when living together, Harry had of course rushed them away with reassuring words. Ginny was amazing and they all knew it, she deserved someone who would respect her. Harry would never do anything without her permission and the Weasley brothers knew that so he was let off pretty easily. It had been established that Hermione and Ron would not be joining them, Hermione arguing that she would love to come but she couldn't find it in herself not to pursue further education so she was staying and of course wherever Hermione goes, Ron goes, so he stayed too.

Harry walked in a few seconds later with Ron and Hermione tailing him, "know we want to go to America but not where in America," Harry was saying, and so the rest of the day went by with. them narrowing down the different states of the USA until they had three options. Ginny said she would only accept astate on the coast because she wanted a beach and Harry had requested that it wasn't too popular, so they were left with Maine, Ohio and Oregon. They spent another few hours researching towns in each state and finally settled on a little secluded town in Ohio named Lima. The next few hours were spent simply as friends, the feeling of weightlessness and freedom still so foreign to all of them. 

A weasel patronus flew into the room as a method of summoning them all to dinner and so chaos ensued as it so often does at the Weasley residence as they fought for the food on the table and not long after they were all sat in the living room gathered together in front of the fire as hey talked and joked around, "So Harry, Ginny, when are you leaving?" Arthur Weasley asked.

"Two weeks time, we wanted to leave after Ginny's birthday." Harry replied and Ginny nodded in agreement.

"Yeah, were going to a place called Lima, Hermione helped us find a nice small house just for the two of us that can easily be enchanted to have a quid ditch pitch invisible to muggles and there's a nice attic for Gizmo to spread his wings, and it's all so lovely I can hardly wait."

Two weeks passed in no time, a rush of hasty packing and shopping. It was very exciting to choose the furniture but they had it all delivered to America to save the trouble of flooing all the furniture into their home in Lima. The weekend before they left came 11th August and Ginny Weasley was turning eighteen. It was eventful to say the least, especially when Dean Thomas and Seamus Finnegan dropped by to say 'Happy Birthday'. The two were always welcome in the Burrow but Dean was most certainly not allowed to ogle Ginny as she blew out her candles, and was on the receiving end of many glares, from that of her bothers to that of his own boyfriend.

Finally the day came and Ginny and Harry stood in front of the fire, ready to toss the floor powder in, they had said their goodbyes tearfully and grudgingly. Neville and Luna were seeing them off too and clung to each other, watching with pride at their best friends. Hermione and Ron were of course coming with them just for the day to help them unpack and settle in. Mrs Weasley graced the two with a motherly hug before retreating to her place Arthur. With a wave and a promise to visit as soon as possible, Harry and Ginny left.
