Re: Harry and Ginny's arrival
Since having talked to Jamie and then Al, Harry had had more than enough time to prepare himself and Ginny for the dinner. He'd told her what James had said about the house, but mostly what Al had said about marrying Snape in a decade and announcing it over dinner. He didn't want Ginny to be surprised by the news.
Seeing how it was Al who was hosting dinner, they arrived just on time, looking at the small house. Harry couldn't help but to wonder where the rest of it was. "Well, it's small. At least Jamie warned us, though," he said to Ginny, taking her hand as they went to knock the door.
