Harry and Ginny came back into the castle just as dinner was being served, Sirius and Bill turned in their seats ad kept a close eye on the both of them as they both sat down.

"You know, I'm amazed that Charlie wasn't stalking us today." said Ginny. "I figured he'd follow us all over the place."

"He didn't need to, I don't think. He trusted me." said Harry.

"He had a talk with you didn't he?" said Ginny.

"Yeah, he had the 'hurt her, you die' talk with me." said Harry with a smile.

"Ugh." groaned Ginny embarrassingly. "Why do boys do that?"

"Cause you're their only sister? They want to protect you." said Harry still smiling.

Ginny rolled her eyes, but she had a smile on her face and tucked into the stew that was ladled into her plate.

Later on, Harry was in the kitchens finishing a chocolate mousse when Mr. Weasley came in and stood behind him.

"You too?" said Harry with a slight smile.

"I just came down, to thank you…for being a gentleman." said Mr. Weasley. "Ginny told us all about what you did."

"Even..." said Harry.

"Yeah, we had a little chat with Bill, and Remus had a nice talk with Sirius. You must have noticed that little limp Sirius had?" said Mr. Weasley with a small smile.

"Yeah, I'm guessing a Stinging Hex." said Harry with a smirk.

"On the nose." said Mr. Weasley tapping his nose. "Are you going to go out with her tomorrow?"

"No, I have plans with uh...Uncle Leroy, Uncle Rudolph, Sirius, Remus and Dr. Clark." said Harry.

"Oh, that's right, sorry about that. I was just wondering, because we were going to have a family outing, especially after this book." Mr. Weasley's eyes grew cold quickly, but his eyes warmed up back to his normal, kind temperature. "I think we all need to have a bit of a sit-down."

"Don't blame you, I think my family needs to have a bit of a chat too." said Harry. "Don't know where we are going to do it, though. Here, I've made a lot, take some chocolate mousse with you, it can be a sort of before bed snack for...well...whoever you want to give it to."

He handed Mr. Weasley a medium sized bowl full of the fluffy chocolate treat and put the rest of it into another, much larger bowl. "This ought to keep Remus happy." he said with a smile.

Harry woke up the next morning bright and early. Last night, Remus, scooping as much chocolate mousse as he could into his mouth, reminded him that he was going to take Harry to the eyeglass shop in Diagon Alley. Harry thought however that the store was closed on Sundays, but Remus said that he got in touch with the owner and she'd open up the shop just for them.

Harry went down into Great Hall and ate breakfast with Ron and Hermione. Once Ginny had told her family what had happened on their date, Ron seemed to have calmed down and accepted the fact that she and Harry were dating. He had to admit, she could have picked a really worse off choice than the one she made. But it did slightly irk him that Harry hadn't asked him if he could date Ginny, but he dare not voice that opinion, not with Ginny or Hermione within striking distance.

"What are you guys going to do today?" asked Hermione.

"Well, I was told that my family was going to have a little meeting." said Ron.

"I'm going to Diagon Alley to get new glasses, after that, I wouldn't have the faintest idea." said Harry. "What about you?"

"Well...I'm not all together sure. I might do some research on these Memoir books, that and everything else we've learned." she said and without further ado, she finished her breakfast and headed up to the library.

"I swear, she doesn't believe in days off." said Ron shaking his head.

"Get done with your family meeting quickly, then go join her." said Harry, his voice strangely calm.

"What's up?" said Ron quickly, that tone of voice was never good.

"She won't like what she reads. I know what she will find, if she asks you to keep a secret about the books, do it. Take one of these," said Harry, he pulled a few small phials of Calming Draught from his jacket pocket. "give her one of these just in case."

"I'm not going to like it either, am I?" said Ron.

"There's another reason why there are Rangers are all about, if something were to happen to the books, like being snatched away, and then we weren't able to read them for about a week or so..." said Harry. "Or if I'm taken..."

"You start dying, don't you?" said Ron in a weak voice.

Harry spoke no further.

Much later, at the Eyeglass shop with Remus, Tonks, Rudolph and Leroy, Harry stared straight ahead, glasses off and trying to see the large poster on the end of the room.

"Can you tell me what that picture is?" said the woman that was Remus' cousin.

Harry leaned forward in the chair and squinted, he was oblivious to the fact that the woman was casting a silent spell over Harry's line of vision.

"Umm... is it a horse?" said Harry uncertainly.

"Actually, it's a chicken. So Mr. Potter, let's get you a better set of glasses." said the woman kindly.

"How do you get a horse from that?" asked Tonks.

"I don't know." said Harry shrugging.

"Alright dear, I've got your lenses all done. Let's pick you some frames." she said with a smile.

Harry walked over and looked at all the choices he had, strangely, there were a bunch frames that looked just like his.

"Are these popular in this world?" said Harry with a raised brow.

"They are because you wear them, dear." said the woman with a smile.

"Time for a change." said Harry quickly. Suddenly he saw the glasses he wanted; they were a thin square framed pair, sort of like Professor McGonagall's glasses.

"You like those?" said the woman kindly. "Alright, then." she then took her wand out again and magicked the lenses to slip seamlessly into the frames.

"Thanks Winny." said Remus, but the look in her eyes told him, that she wanted a small chat with him.

"Um, Harry, go outside with Leroy, I'll be right there." said Remus, looking slightly worried.

Harry looked slightly confused, but left with his Uncles and Tonks.

"What can I do for you, Winny?" said Remus curiously.

"His eyes...I can tell what caused it..." she said with a growl in her voice.

Remus gave her a small smirk. "The people that caused it are already in Auror custody."

"Hope they stay there." she snarled.

"Sometimes, I swear you're more wolf than I am." he said with a smirk. He dodged a heavy blow to his shoulder.

After Remus had a nice, lengthy chat with his cousin, he went outside to find that the rest of his party was gone, nowhere to be seen. He had to travel down Diagon Alley a bit to find them, enjoying ice cream treats in front of Fortescue's.

"Aw...come on!" he said throwing his hands up. "I wanted some!"

"You mean this?" said Harry holding up a three scooped chocolate ice cream cone.

"Remus, you're going to give yourself a brain freeze." chided Tonks as she watched him almost swallow the entire cone.

"Too late." said Harry laughing. "What do we do now?" said Harry.

"Ugh..." moaned Remus holding his head. "Stupid brain freeze. Now we go to where we're meeting Sam and Sirius." Remus took ahold of Harry's shoulder and side-apparated with him.

Before Harry could look around, after the sickening spinning had ended, a blindfold was placed over his eyes.

"What the...?" said Harry.

"It's a surprise." said Lupin his voice sounded excited.

"Goody, I love surprises." said Harry sarcastically.

He allowed himself to be led quite a ways, until he was finally getting slightly annoyed. But the smell of ripened fruits quickly calmed his nerves.

"Alright cub," said Sirius' voice. "Here you go! It took all morning, with Dumbledore's help, to get rid of all the pink crap."

Suddenly the blindfold was taken off and Harry, blinking in the early afternoon sun, gazed at the surprise. The best surprise he had ever seen.

It was a house, then it dawned on them, it wastheir house.

It was a large manor, with at least three floors and countless grand windows. There were vines that intertwined about the front of the house, giving it a classic country house look. There were gardens stationed on both sides of the large path up to the house. There were fruit trees lining the walls of this large manor and Harry looked briefly behind him and saw that the entire house was blocked by woods, and Harry couldn't see an end to them.

"What do you think?" said Sirius.

"I love it." said Harry looking all around, and taking in all of the house he could see.

"We'll take a tour of the grounds later, first things first, let's go in the house, you're going to love it even more!" said Sirius grabbing Harry by the hand and dragging him into the house.

Sirius took a hold of the double oak doors and opened them both. When Harry saw the entrance hall to their house, he could only stare.

"It looks like, the Entrance Hall of Hogwarts..." said Harry with an awed whisper.

"That's what I was going for." said Sirius with a smirk. "I wanted the entrance to look just like it. Alright, then, let's give you the grand tour!"

"The entire place would take too long, let's just take him around his wing." said Remus.

"My wing?" said Harry faintly.

"Yeah, you're getting a bit older and...yeah...I thought you'd like some privacy and well...it may keep you living at home for a long while." said Sirius.

"Even after I get married? I think you're nuts." said Harry with a smirk.

"We'll see." said Sirius with a bright smile, "Let's take you to your room, I think you'll like it."

They went up two floors and took Harry to a large ornate door. Harry opened the door and saw that his room looked so much more different than what his room, Ron's or even Dudley's room looked like.

Dudley's room was littered with posters of rock bands, wrappers of different sweets, boxing gloves, video games cartridges, disks, consoles, three TV's, and weights. Ron's had an assortment of different magical games, Chudley Cannon merchandise, and then a fish tank with frogs spawn and full grown frogs.

Harry's room had an enormous fireplace straight ahead of the door, and a few large armchairs sitting beside it with ottomans. There was a large king size bed with gossamer curtains on each side, with deep red curtains on the right side of the room and directly across from the bed, there was a large balcony that overlooked the eastern part of the house and it's estate.

"So, Harry? What do you think?" said Dumbledore with a bright smile. "Dr. Clark and I went about London and picked up all the furniture and other appliances."

"It's not done yet, but it should be done by the time the summer comes." said Dr. Clark with a smile. "I wanted to pick you up a T.V. and stereo, but…these guys didn't know what I was talking about." he added in a whisper.

"I love it." said Harry faintly. "I...I actually can't wait till summer."

"This isn't the best part. We have two surprises, the rest of the house isn't done, but this one, and the two surprises are done." said Sirius.

"Um...actually the music room isn't done yet." said Dr. Clark guiltily.

"What, why not?" said Remus.

"We wanted to put wind instruments in there...um...there was only one guy in London that had any...and we didn't to touch them." said Dr. Clark.

"Don't ask." said Dumbledore trying not to laugh.

"That and I haven't found a really good wallpaper." said Dr. Clark.

"Oh, well, then for dramatic flair we won't go in there." said Sirius half-heartedly.

"That and the piano hasn't been delivered yet." said Dr. Clark in a whisper to Remus.

"Well, then let's go downstairs." said Leroy.

"I think I can guess what that room is going to be." muttered Harry with a large smile.

And just like Harry thought, it was a kitchen; it had a large refrigerator, stove, large counters, and an immensely large pantry. There were pots and pans hanging down from thin wires from the overhead cupboards.

"This kitchen is all yours." said Leroy with a smile and a one armed hug.

"Huh?" said Harry.

"There's another kitchen in this house. During the school year, we'll use that one. This one is for you coming up with your own recipes and hopefully adding some weight to you." said Sirius teasingly.

They smiled as Harry wiped tears away from his eyes.

"Come on, let's get back to the castle, I'm starving." said Sirius with a smile.

"I could make dinner here, then after dinner we can go back." said Harry.

"I haven't stocked the kitchen yet, there isn't any food." said Sirius.

"Damn, well, it was a nice idea anyway." said Harry shrugging.

"Wish we stocked the pantry now." said Sirius pouting slightly.

They left the house and after one quick tour of the fruit tree orchard, and the garden, they apparated, with Harry holding on tightly to Dumbledore's arm and a large smile on his face.
