"Why were you talking with the Ferret?" Ronald asked him when they got back to his and Hermione's house.
"Don't call him that, and he's changed." Harry defended taking a seat. Ronald didn't argue back and Ginerva gave Harry a look but didn't say anything. "I don't think being an Auror is for me..."

"What? You can't quit!" Ginerva exclaimed. Harry and Hermione assumer Ronald would be the one to lash out, not her. "You need it to provide for your kids!"
"Yeah well I already have another job in mind." He snapped back. Ronald hadn't spoken, he stared in disbelief, opened his mouth, and closed it straight after.

"And what's that huh?"
"Defence Against The Dark Arts professor." She scoffed at his suggestion. "What?" He snapped again.

Despite everyone's beliefs, this was a daily occurrence. There marriage wasn't perfect, nor happy. It was a marriage. Possibly even worse than a Purebloods arrainged one.

"I cannot deal with you anymore! You're throwing away a perfect job because you don't like it? Well life isn't about you Harry! You need it for the family, not because you like it!"

"You don't think I know life isn't about me? I've never been able to freely make a decision for myself and now I want to, you shout at me for it? Fine then! Go! We can talk this through when you've seen sense!"

"When I've seen sense? That's rich! You know what? I'm going home and you can come to me when you've seen sense!" With that she apparated away.

Harry deflated in his seat. How much longer can he take this before he explodes?
Now he doesn't have a place to go for a few nights until Ginerva says she's wrong. He made Grimmauld Place an orphanage for child Witches and Wizards. There's too much history there for him to go back, so he decided to put it to good use.

"Harry mate, you do what you want to. Don't let my sister decide for you." That was easier said than done. If he did what he wanted to, he wouldn't be with Ginny.

"Until you two sort this out, you can stay with us." Hermione told him. Thank God for them two. They stayed with him through everything. Even though they did almost die every year at Hogwarts.

That night, he recieved a letter from Albus about his first day.

To mom and dad,
  Hogwarts is amazing! It's not as scary as James said it was, he made up half the stuff! Peeves is funny, so is Uncle Fred. If he's Uncle George's twin, then I was bound to like him anyway.
Hagrid says hi, so does Neville, Professor McGonagall, Professor Slughorn, Luna, Madam Pomfrey (she said dad spent more time in the infirmary than lessons) and Professor Flitwick. Dad, you need more friends if they're only professors.

I bet you're wondering what house I'm in right? Well, before I get to that, I want to tell you about the friends I made! I've got three: Scorpius- who is practical, like the common sense of the four of us-, Lee- he is really energetic, way too much for me but he's still cool- and Ash. He's really smart and caring.

Finally, my house is...... Slytherin! Thanks to dad, I wasn't afraid of being in Slytherin. On the trian, my friends said their parents aren't bothered and Scorp's parents were in the house. He's really nice so I thought that all Slytherin's can't be that bad.

Love you both, so does James- he's just too busy with his friends to write.
