-End Of April-

In the Midst of all the chaos Ginny wanted nothing more than to be with her friends for a night. Everyone was so busy, of course, what with Neville as Headmaster, Harry as Head Auror, Luna and her adventures, Ron and his team, Hannah and the Cauldron... but she hoped that they could get together for one night, at least, as a group. She decided to contact Hannah about it and call it an 'Engagement Party' of sorts. Just a small one, though, just with six specific people. She, of course, invited Luna to bring Rolf along if she so choose, she understood that married people did things together and whatnot.

So she and Hannah planned the event for a Sunday night at the end of April, one of the busiest times of year for everyone not too mention with all the added stress and dangers going on. Still, they set up the dinner table in the Longbottoms residence within the Cauldron and invited everyone via owl, in person and through the DA coins, just for old times sake.

The dinner party was to start at six o' clock and Ginny had arrived around five to help Hannah get ready. Now, about fifteen minutes to six, Ginny was pacing nervously, hoping everyone could come.

Hermione glanced down at her old DA coin and smiled as she put the finishing touches on her look for the evening. She distinctly remembered coming up with the idea in her fifth year, using the Protean charm to alert the DA members to the meetings held in the Room of Requirement. That now felt like a lifetime ago; their kids were all nearly grown now, and Ginny’s memory catastrophe had left her with vague recollections of the years gone by.

“Ron! We should be heading out now!” she called down to her husband, who was somewhere in the kitchen. “Don’t forget the bottle of wine!” she added as she headed downstairs. They had purchased a bottle earlier that day that was one of the higher end vintage brands; she hoped they would like it. She kissed him on the cheek and grabbed his hand, squeezing it lightly.

“Shall we?” she asked with a smile. She knew he knew how much she hated to be late. She turned on the spot and Apparated outside to the Leaky Cauldron. She turned and waited for Ron to appear before going inside.

“Shall we?” ron grinned a little as he apparated next to his wife and heard her words. he knew he had taken a little while to get ready but being on time wasn't his strong suit. he was often late to events and parties but if it was a good one he often stayed later than a lot of people so he figured he'd evened himself out a little in that respect. bottle of wine tucked against his arm he smiled a little and reached to rest his hand on the small of his wifes back and he walked into the leaky cauldron. he spotted ginny straight away, his little sister and he smiled. she looked happier than she had in months and he was glad things between her and harry were working themselves out. as hard as it had been for him as a big brother to want to be there for her, he had made himself keep his distance with the issues the two had been facing. he had figured ginny needed to come around on her own and anything he told harry wouldn't be anything the man didn't already know. "see, this is what happens when you are in charge of leaving the house. we get here before everyone" he said with a teasing smile and a quick kiss on his wifes cheek as he stepped forward to greet his sister. "the smile sits well on you ginny" he said as he moved to set the wine on the table.

Harry had been talking with Neville, staying out of Hannah and Ginny's way as they made preparations for his and Ginny's "engagement" party. Yeah, they were already married, but Ginny didn't remember it. So Harry was happy to do it all again. He would do it twenty times over if it made Ginny happy. He had promised himself a long time ago that he would never again Force her to live without him. Having tried that once, he knew that neither of them were anything more than miserable the entire time. Honestly, he had been pretty miserable this time too, but he also recognized that Ginny needed time to figure out what she was going to do. Thankfully, she had come back to him, hence the party.

After Neville went to get ready Harry went out to the main room and eyed a chair that was out of the way. The party started in ten minutes, and Ginny was pacing anxiously. Abandoning his beeline for the chair he instead went to Ginny, stepping up behind her and wrapping his arms around her waist.

"Hey, you might want to relax." he whispered into her ear as he smiled. He moved around to stand in front of her, grabbing his hat from the hat stand. "And to help with that, I have been practicing this move." Flipping the hat between his fingers he placed it on his head, grinning at her.

A soft pop could be heard from outside the door, then Ron and Hermione came in. Ron walked right over to Ginny (after teasing Hermione of course) and kissed her cheek.
"Hey mate, don't I get one?" Harry teased his friend, even as he move to give Hermione a hug. "Hey, Hermione. It's good to see you. He told her.

Unfortunately, Rolf had to stay home. He had caught a bad case of the doxey flu. Normally when doxey's bite they only cause slight irritation or swelling. But when poor Rolf had tried to clean out a closet in the upstairs bedroom the hive of doxey's there did a number on him. His current station was on the couch with a large bowl situated on his lap which he occasionally cleaned with a wave of his wand. Luna gave him a quick kiss on the forehead, wishing him a thousand hugs from a house elf (rumored to eliminate some common ailments) and said farewell.

She made sure to grab her sash before leaving the house, the one that said "my best friend is getting married twice!" on it. It lit up with sparkled with different colors when there was a loud noise nearby. She thought i was particularly appropriate for an evening with all of her closest friends. The night air of London was chilly, but a light jacket was all that was required since she wouldn't be going far.

Soon enough the hidden door of the Leaky Cauldron came into view and Luna walked into the place. She beamed at the sight of her closest friends in the world and made straight for Ginny.

"Happy engagement, Ginny!" Luna told her, as she gave her a large hug. Ginny had been though some rough times, with the loss of her memory. But if it had to happen to someone, Ginny was the best person it could have happened too. She was strong-willed, stubborn, and dedicated, if anyone could come back from a memory wipe it was Ginny Potter. And this who ordeal had made Ginny grow in ways Luna admired.

Hannah was more than happy to let Harry and Ginny use their flat for the re-engagement party. It really was a charming notion, the getting engaged again to renew their vows for Ginnys sake. It was something everyone needed right now, really. A bright thing in dark times. Just like Harry and Ginnys actual wedding had been. Hannah had helped Ginny set up and then left to her room to get ready as well. It was always nice to have an excuse to get dressed up.

Hannah came out as people started arriving, smiling at them in turn as they greeted Ginny and Harry. "Hermione," she greeted, crossing over to give the brunette a swift hug and then moved to give Luna one as well. She hung back then, standing beside her fellow blonde. "Love that sash, Luna. Is Rolf doing alright?"

It wasn't often that the six of them got together (well, seven if you count Hannah, and Neville was only too happy to count her, and eight if you count Rolf, who wasn't here). Sadly enough, they were all too busy these days. One thing Neville hoped for was that they would all survive to see the day that Harry finally put his wand down and left the fighting to the younger generation—because Harry would certainly be the last of them to do it—so that the eight of them could retire somewhere that politics and arguments and having to take a stand didn't exist, and they could all sit around together and never worry about a thing.

He stepped into the dining room in time to see Luna wrap Ginny up in a hug, and had to grin at the sash around the former Ravenclaw. Luna always had a way of reminding people without even trying to that as bad as things got, life went on anyway, and eventually it would all be okay. He walked up and wrapped both of them up in a hug at the same time, lifting them from the ground briefly as his arms tighened. “Congrats, Gin.”

He set them both back down and stepped over to shake hands with Ron and Harry and hug Hermione as well, then moved over to stand beside Hannah and wrap an arm around her waist. “Luna, you haven't been here in ages. Alice is going to be sad that she missed you. She's practically floating around at the thought of this summer.”

Ginny laughed shakily as Harry kissed her neck and did the hat flipping trick. "Hey! That's the hat we found in the closet," she laughed, pointing at it. "I thought I was wearing it?" she joked, turning around to kiss him lightly on the lips. She clasped his collar, "your handsomeness helps. It'd be embarrassing to celebrate my engagement to someone who looked like a troll," she joked, sticking her tongue out at him.

At the first pop she spun back around, releasing Harry to greet Ron and Hermione. At Ron's words she felt her cheeks redden. "Awe, thanks," she chuckled, leaning up to kiss him on the cheek after the compliment.

At the sight of Luna, and that sash, Ginny felt instantly better, moving swiftly to her and hugging her, "thank you, and thank you for coming," she spoke softly, Luna would understand what she was going through right now. She pulled back, smiling thankfully at the blonde again before turning to Neville has he approached them and wrapped an arm around he and Luna. "Thanks," she said, lifting on her toes to kiss his cheek before he moved on.

She raised an eyebrow at Harry, signaling that he should be the one to announce when dinner was starting.

Hermione couldn’t help but smile at Luna’s sash; it was such a Luna thing of her to do. Some things never changed and in this case she was very glad Luna was the same Luna she always had been. Hugs went around to everyone and she was truly glad to see them all. This year had been intense to say the least; becoming the head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, investigating the murders of not one but two Ministers, and then trying to find a way to keep the students at Hogwarts safe, which after the Muggleborn killings and kidnappings, was proving more difficult than they could possibly imagine. It had been at least a year since the majority of them had been together in one room, and she was glad it was for such a positive reason.

“So Ginny, do you have any plans set in stone for the wedding take two?” she asked her. She remembered their first wedding quite clearly; it had been years ago, almost a lifetime it felt. She had remembered the love that had been so strong between the two of them then, and now it was finally coming back. She couldn’t be happier for two of her best friends in the world. She looked over at Ron and took his hand, squeezing it lightly as she gave him a smile.

"Awe, thanks," "Hey mate, don't I get one?" ron laughed as he released his sister from his hold and nodded a little at her thanks before turning to his friend. "oh how could i forget! you're the jealous type" he said with a grin as he reached to grab harry and smacked a noisy kiss on his cheek. those who thought he wouldn't do it didn't know ron from a bar of soap. everyone seemed to converge into the room at that point, hannah and luna made their way in. luna looking as colourful as ever. he glanced down at his own plain shirt before he pointed to the sash. "i think i'm under dressed" he said lightly as he stepped forward to kiss her cheek in greeting before reaching to shake neville's hand. it had been too long since they had all been in the same place. without their children. though now their children were grown and in school and in theory the lot of them should be slowing down .. if anything the truth was they were busier than ever .. it should be more of a common occurrence, but alas it wasn't. "something seems to be missing from the night" ron said with a grin as he took hermione's hand and squeezed it in return. "oh yes .. the screaming of children. the last time we had one of these dinners was when they were toddlers?" he said with a light laugh. it hadn't been that long but it felt like it. he moved to the table that had been set and found his seat, pulling out the one next to it for hermione.

Harry laughed loudly as Ron planted a huge, noisy, kiss on his cheek. He should know by now better than to tempt Ron with things like that. But he had a rough time learning. Nudging Ron with his elbow he turned his attention to Luna and a huge smile landed on his face.

"Luna, radiant and wonderful. I'm so glad you are here." he moved to give her a huge hug and then walked back over to Ginny, putting his arm around her waist. He was so glad they could have this party, which was much smaller then the last engagement party they had. But this one was more appropriate for the times.

Time to get this party started.

"Thank you all for coming." Harry said, interrupting the chatter between friends. "I know that I am ecstatic for this party, but the real reason we are all here is for my gorgeous wife---uh soon to be wife? Whatever, she is going to be mine again and that is something to celebrate!" he planted a kiss on her cheek, significantly more tender then the one Ron had given him.

A more perfect union couldn't have been found for Harry Potter and Ginny Weasley-Potter. The two were meant for each other. She watched as Harry kissed Ginny's cheek so tenderly, it brought a giddy feeling to her that she hadn't felt since a girl.

She pulled a bottle of champagne out of her purse, she had brought it for a moment just like this one. Then she summoned some glasses over to the table and filled them up and handed them out. Holding hers up high she beamed as she looked at the couple.

"To the Potter's! May the rest of their lives be filled with as much joy as they have had previously, and even more."

[Deleted]

Hannah chuckled as Ron mentioned that the 'screaming' of children sound was missing and that they hadn't gotten together in a long time. There was no way it had been that long but she understood where he was coming from. It had seemed like forever, especially with Harry and Hermiones work in the law enforcement department getting crazier and Neville becoming Headmaster. Making time for friends seemed almost impossible.

Hannah stayed beside Neville as Harry started speaking, thanking them for coming and talking about why they were there. At the end of his sentence Hannah lifted her hands and gave a few small claps. Harry must be so happy right now, getting Ginny back into his home and into his arms. She couldn't imagine what it would feel like if she had lost Neville like that for a time...

Hannah took her seat as Luna made a toast and lifted her own glass, "to the Potters!"

Soon they were opening the food cases in the center of the table and preparing their plates, happily starting dinner. Hannah turned to Hermione and Ron, "I heard from Leslie you are going to New Zealand for a few days this summer. That sounds like a good time!"

It was easy and comfortable to ease up and relax now. He was among friends, the first and best he'd ever had, and with his wife, who meant more to him than the rest of the world. He took his place among them, but couldn't suppress a groan at Ron's mention of screaming children. Had it really been that long? “Urgh, that was when Phil was teething. I love my kids, but I don't miss the formative years one bit.” He sincerely hoped he hadn't been that bad as a child, though he thought about Gran and rather expected she had managed to cow him into obedience even as a toddler.

Harry moved forward to make his announcement, and Neville raised his glass with all the others in celebration. He pushed Hannah's seat in for her before taking his own beside her, and prepared his plate like the others. He heard that Ron and Hermione were planning a trip to New Zealand, piquing his interest. The fact he hadn't heard about it yet meant they were keeping it quiet, which was a good thing. Ron was Victoire's chief bodyguard right now, and Hermione was head of the MLE, one half of a team with Harry as the leaders of the law against this rising new threat. Certainly, if anyone found out in advance, they would certainly plan to make a statement while the couple were off on their trip.

Neville pointed his fork at Ron. “Are you still looking for someone to fill in as Victoire's guard while you're away? If you are, add my name to the list of candidates.” He doubted it would interfere with their camping plans—and even if it did, the Longbottoms could afford to be more flexible in their time during the summer. Neville's job was demanding, particularly now that he was in charge of the entire school, but that demand vanished for a large portion of the summer. The Ministry handle most of the actual administrative duties for Hogwarts between school years, and Neville had already signed a letter for them to make copies of to send to prospective new students, a letter they would keep on file until he was replaced in his time. Besides, Victoire's safety was important.
