Where: their home --> Godric's Hollow
Warnings: TBD
Status: threaded; incomplete

The house was quiet, which was unusual. It was rare for Harry to be home alone, without Ginny or either of the boys, but Ginny was at practice, and Harry had taken the boys to the Burrow for the evening. It was nice; he felt neither anxious about the surprise nor bothered by the quiet. He felt calm, with a slight sense of anticipation.

He'd made dinner already, though he intended to do that last, unless she was very hungry from practice. And he hadn't dressed up, but his hair was still slightly damp and his cheeks a bit pink from the shower he'd taken after work, and he was holding a single red rose. He twiddled it between his fingers and relaxed into the couch, waiting for Ginny to come home.

"Yeah, absolutely," Harry said. He hadn't expected Ginny to decide today. He'd been sleeping on it, after all - for a little over a week now. But the deciding factor was still whether she was happy with it. "It's really the idea of getting a house, more than the house itself, that I meant to surprise you with. Do you think we're ready for that?"

It did seem like she was on board with that part, but it didn't hurt to make sure. The fact that they might lose this particular house if they took too long to decide didn't bother him particularly. Home was not a house to Harry, no matter how nice the house was, or how perfect the location. It was the family that went into it.

	"Absolutely, I do," she said happily. She let out a laugh of relief, wrapping her arms around him. "It's a big step but I think we're ready for this." They were going to be home owners...sometime. At least they both agreed that it was where they wanted to be. Their family was expanding, it was time that their house did the same. (Reply to this) (Parent)
