Harry Potter: Shadows of Tomorrow

"Wow" James sighed

"Wow" Lilly repeated the action

"I can't believe it" Sirius was speechless

"Neither can I" Remus slumped back with widened eyes, the four sat in silence for a while.

"MY SON GOT LUCKY!" James exclaimed

"MY godson did us proud!" Sirius wiped away a tear "I'm glad that that part gets skipped and we don't actually see it but he got lucky!"

"I know" James laughed "that thing with the magical contract was just brilliant!"

"Guys!" Lilly shouted

"What?" James replied

"Prongs" Remus spoke softly "I think she's a bit annoyed by the fact that you're son got married and fought Voldermort but all you want to talk about is pranks and him having sex"

"Oh" James and Sirius said together

"MY SON BEAT VOLDERMORT!" James exclaimed

"Woo" Sirius joined in "and he got married!"

"That's better" Lilly sighed "but I still find it hard to believe, Harry is married and can now do whatever he wants."

"I know" Remus agreed "it's weird"

"You're just saying that because he tried to set you up with my cousin" Sirius interrupted

"No I'm not" Remus continued "even though that definitely wouldn't work, I'm too old and poor for her. But actually think about it, Harry is now considered of age and has actually got permission to do whatever he wants"

"I get it" James spoke "it is a bit weird, but I trust Harry. I'm sure he won't abuse it…though I am a bit disappointed that he doesn't abuse it a little"

"Lilly" Remus spoke carefully "if you don't mind me asking, Harry has killed three people, what are your thoughts on that?"

"Well" Lilly stopped to take a breath "it was a bit of a surprise, especially when he said he liked it. It's weird knowing that your son can kill and likes killing and every part of me wants to stop him from killing. But I have no doubt that those people deserve it, and I think he needs to do it.

Dumbledore has been ineffective and Harry will get attacked again, he shouldn't have been in that tournament and he shouldn't have been in that bloody graveyard! If he has to scare and put down a few people to keep himself and everyone else safe then I say let him, I'd rather he not but I understand. Voldermort got his fear and reputation from being the most powerful no-nonsense wizard alive, I don't mind if Harry does the same because it's effective and it works. I also don't have to worry about him going dark, like he said that's what Ginny's for and I doubt he'd let her go anytime soon"

"Lil" James whispered although everyone could hear him "our son, Harry, beat Voldermort in an actual duel. I don't know what to say to that"

"Me neither" Lilly admitted "he looked so calm, and he still beat him like he was nothing. I know the ritual made him weaker and all but still, Harry did good." The Marauders continued watching.

Harry woke up, besides him was his sleeping wife. She had spent the day with Percy while he worked as hard as possible to upgrade the wards. When he picked her up he explained to Percy how they were pretending Voldermort hadn't returned, he understood and promised to do the same. Harry then brought Ginny to the house, the joy on her face was enough for Harry to sleep pleasantly that night, or at least after they had finished what they deemed a necessary celebration ritual.

Ginny slowly woke, to find a pair of emerald eyes staring at her, words couldn't describe how happy she was. She and Harry were married, he won the tournament, he beat voldermort, Percy agreed to help and he brought her to his house. The elves assured her that she was the first person he had ever brought to the house, Ginny was pleasantly surprised by the house. She knew what was in it because Harry had told her but she didn't expect it be so good. She had spent the entire first day with the animals and planned to spend the next on the quidditch pitch.

Ginny thought that making Stink the secret keeper was also a stroke of genius, people underestimated house elves and no one would think to question an elf. She was also happy about the fact that she was free from her mother's grasp, she could be whoever she wanted to be and do whatever she wanted to do without asking permission. Naturally she'd ask Harry but she knew he wouldn't refuse, Harrys trust warmed her heart and she vowed never to break it.

"Morning beautiful" Harry smiled

"Morning handsome" Ginny smiled back

"So…how was your first day living with your husband?"

"One of the best days of my life" Ginny answered honestly "but to be fair it was also one of the best evening of my life, and don't think I didn't notice you leaving in the afternoon and coming back three hours later"

"Come downstairs and I'll tell you what that was about" Harry kissed her nose before sliding out of bed. Ginny came down after a few minutes, she found Harry eating breakfast and sat by him as they elves delivered her breakfast.

"Here you go" Harry handed her a newspaper

'Vigilante known as curse attacks known death eaters house' Ginny read the title.

"I figured I do at least one appearance a week to keep the fear rates up" Harry explained

"Bloody hell, Rita Skeeter"

"I know" Harry sighed "although admittedly she's good at what she does, be even better if she didn't make up crap. But as long as she doesn't do it to us then I don't really care, I still have those articles she wrote about Ron, I was thinking of having them framed."

"The twins already did that" Ginny giggled "I mean it was so funny, making Ron out to be an attention seeking mad man who wanted to impress his mother"

"Which he is"

"And saying Hermione is his girlfriend"

"Which he wishes"

"So what are we going to do when school starts?"

"I'll think of something" Harry shrugged "the question is what are we going to do the pass the time around here?" Harry raised an eye brow

"Quidditch" She answered

"Oh…okay"

"But sex first" She smiled, he was so easy to tease. Harry shot up out of his seat and picked Ginny up before carrying her back to the bedroom. The weeks flew by as Harry and Ginny had fun, they occasionally visited Sirius and Remus and had secret visits with the twins but they spent the rest of the time together. Practising quidditch, duelling, spells, occlumency, animagus transformations, physical training and practising what they had dubbed the 'marriage arts'.
