5:30 p.m Potter Manor…
"Is everything ready Dobby?" Harry asked coming down the stairs.
"Yes Mr. Potter. We have steak, shrimp and lobster with two kinds of potatoes, corn on the cob, salad and chocolate cake for dessert. We also have juice, wine, butter beer, and champagne if needed."
"I don't think we'll need the champagne at dinner Dobby, but keep it on ice. Hermione and I will probably use it later," Harry said with a smile. "I'm gonna go finished getting dressed. If Hermione comes down before I get back, let me know."
" Will do Mr. Potter," Dobby squeaked out.
Harry ran up to his room where he kept his clothes, he didn't sleep here anymore. He and Hermione now shared the master suite on the third level. He'd bought her so many clothes there was no room for most of his things. They decided to leave his clothes in his old room until they figured out what they would do to the room, to make it livable for both.
Having already showered, Harry took off his sweats and slipped into his charcoal grey slacks, and a white button-up shirt. After putting on his socks he stepped into his Basilisk hide shoes. After Voldemort was dead, Harry went back to the chamber of secrets because Hermione told him the snake carcass was still intact. Harry dissected the carcass and kept some things for potions as they were hard to come by. There was so much snake skin down there, he shrunk it and stored it in his cellar. Later he got the idea to make stuff out of it. A pair of boots came first and so on. He now had pants these shoes a robe and a hat. He also decided to make Hermione a dress and a pair of shoes for her next birthday. He'd already made her one pair of shoes just because.
Thanks again Petunia for forcing a skill on me I would otherwise never have learned, Harry thought. If the Dursleys knew how Harry lived now they would probably die of jealousy. The last Harry heard of them, Dudley had become a boxer and won a title or something. Vernon had a heart attack and had to retire. Petunia had to go back to work, she cleaned houses for rich people an hour away from Surrey. They didn't have a car anymore so she had to take public transportation. Her commute took her four hours round trip. This made Hermione happy when Harry told her.
"I think that's enough punishment for her, now I won't have to knock her teeth out if we ever meet," she'd smiled.
Harry looked at himself in the mirror before putting on his Rolex watch and his lordship rings. The potter and black rings weren't seen that often but he had a feeling the Weasleys were gonna needed to be reminded who they were fucking with tonight. All dressed he headed for the stairs. Hermione came downstairs in a charcoal grey dress (That matched Harry's slacks) and her basilisk hide pumps. She also wore her diamond teardrop earrings and necklace. Her hair was up-swept with some tendrils falling down, some light make-up and lip gloss finished off her look.
"Beautiful," Harry said grabbing her around the waist, pulling her to him.
"Thanks love. You don't look so bad yourself, very handsome," she smiled.
The couple started to kiss deeply when the wards flared. "Damn!" Harry cried. "They had to be early."
"They really must want to kick your ass, they're 15 minutes early," Hermione laughed.
"To bad their magic won't work in my house. Plus I'm a pro in all forms of hand to hand combat. I can't stay fit sitting around doing nothing. This body doesn't come on its own, Harry said winking at Hermione.
" I also have my new friends to make them think before they act."
Harry whistled and two 100 pound fire cats came around the corner. Harry had got them from the magic menagerie in Hawaii. The salesmen said they'd been there for a while and he was ready to put them down. They bonded themselves to Harry and Hermione. They called them Fire and Ice. Ice was pure white with piercing green eyes. Fire was all black with deep blue eyes. Hermione kissed Harry as he went to let the Weasleys into the gate.
Front Gate….
"Here he comes! Ron cried as the gate opened.
Harry stood straight and tall with his two fire cats on either side of him. These two cats would protect him and Hermione with their lives.. The Weasleys were shocked, Harry looked good and strong, powerful even. Harry looked like someone you shouldn't mess with. The fire cats were also intimidating. Harry waved the group forward once the gate had opened. They all moved up the path towards the front porch. As the group stepped on the porch, Harry turned around and gave them a smile.
"Good evening everyone, come on in dinner is almost ready."
Once they all were inside the foyer, Harry turned and addressed them again.
"I have to ask you all to leave your wands with Winky before we go any further." The Weasleys all gasped.
"Why?" Ginny asked.
Harry looked at his ex-girlfriend, before saying. "My fire cats are very touchy about my safety, we wouldn't want any accidents now would we?"
"I am not giving Winky my wand!" Ginny cried.
"That's fine by me Ginerva, but I hope for your sake you don't try to pull it on me or Hermione. I think your family would like you to live to a ripe old age."
Everyone but Fred and George gasped. Molly was looking murderous at Harry, he thought she might explode. Harry could tell Arthur had said something to her before they arrived. Probably waiting until after dinner, Harry thought.
"Was that a threat Potter?" Bill cried.
Harry looked the oldest Weasley brother in the eye, saying. "Take it however you like William, you have all been warned. Keep your wands and I won't be responsible for what happens should any of you decide to use them on me or my girlfriend."
"What?" Ginny cried. "Your girlfriend. When did that happen?"
"About 5 weeks ago, if you must know," Harry replied.
Just then Hermione walked in. "Dinner is ready love," she said as she walked up to Harry giving him a kiss on the lips. Ron gasped.
"You and Mione?" He croaked out.
"why are you so surprised Ron? You threw her away. No let me rephrase that. You ran her away."
"I was just fooling around, I didn't know what I wanted," Ron huffed.
"Now you know what you want Ron?" Hermione smiled.
"Yes Mione, I want you. I want us to start over. Can we?"
"It's to late for that Ron, we can't even be friends. I do want to thank you though for fucking Lavender Brown in the bed we used to share."
"Ronald!" Molly cried. "I'll be speaking with you later."
Hermione continued as if molly had said nothing. "Had you not done that I would've never realized the love of my life was just a phone call away. All I can offer you now is a promise that when I see you in public I won't rip your fucking balls off and shove them down your throat," Hermione said with a smile.
Ron crossed his arms and said. "fine, Harry you're welcome to my sloppy seconds."
Harry laughed a deep belly laugh before saying. "Ron I don't know what you were doing but it was all wrong. Sloppy she is not, believe that. You would've had a freak in the sheets if you knew how to work it right," Harry said pulling Hermione into a kiss.
"Not that you care, but Harry takes care of me very well. I don't even remember what it was like with you Ron," Hermione laughed.
Fred and George burst out laughing, almost falling over in the process. Just then Winky popped in.
"Your wands please," she said holding out a gold box.
Fred and George put their wands in the box and went to greet Harry and Hermione. Arthur put his in next, then coaxed the others to do the same.
"Thank you all, we can now have dinner," Harry said.
The group walked into the dining room. The table was beautifully decorated and the place settings had gold plates, cloth napkins, polished silverware and crystal glassware.
"Wow!" Fred and George exclaimed together.
Harry smiled as he pulled out Hermione's chair for her. Arthur pulled out Molly's chair. No one pulled out Ginny's chair so she did it herself.
Ginny was fuming inside, she needed Harry to claim her baby. The real father was married, and didn't want to claim it. His social standing would be ruined and his wife could take him to the cleaners in a divorce. She had to blame this on Harry.
There wasn't much talking as everyone ate their dinner. Ron as usual ate like a pig. Harry just knew fireworks would start once dinner was over.
After Dinner…..
With dinner and dessert over with, Harry and his guests moved into the entertainment room which was set up with the flat screen and a games area. There was also a bar and dance floor. Harry walked over to the seating area nearest the flat screen. He grabbed the remote to switch it on when Arthur stopped him.
"Harry we need to speak with you on a matter of importance."
Time for the fire works, Harry thought.
Harry sat down in a big chair with Hermione on his lap. Everyone else found seats all around the room where Harry could see them.
"Okay Arthur whats going on?" Harry asked.
"First of all on behalf of my family, I want to thank you for the lovely dinner and hospitality."
"Your welcome," Harry smiled thinking here it comes.
The fire cats sensing trouble walked in and sat on either side of Harry's chair.
"Ginerva is pregnant!" Mr. Weasley blurted out.
Harry and Hermione looked at Ginny, then Harry said the only thing he could.
"Congratulations! Who's the lucky guy?"
"You are asshole!" Bill yelled out.
"What!" Harry and Hermione cried at the same time.
Harry almost dumped Hermione on the floor, he stood up so fast.
"Is that what she told you!" Harry yelled pointing a finger at Ginny.
"Yes!" Bill said, his face turning red. "And you will do right by her or I will be kicking your ass until you do!"
Harry and Hermione burst out laughing after hearing Bill say that. When they were done laughing Harry said.
"Bill I know you are a top curse breaker for Gringotts and all but, lets not get it twisted. You couldn't kick my ass on your best day, even if I had on a blindfold and one hand tied behind my back.I suggest you not try me," Harry smirked.
"If you want that nice pretty little wife of yours to see you all fucked up, who am I to stop you. I would've thought you would be more careful with conflicts. Your wife is pregnant. If you came home all banged up she could get upset and miscarry. I don't want to be blamed for that! Fleur is my friend, Harry said.
Bill was totally pissed, he had turned several shades of red. "I will be kicking your ass! Potter, as soon as your elf brings me my wand," Bill huffed.
"Oh no Bill Weasley, if you want to kick my ass you will have to do it without a wand. I have no problem fighting you like a man. We will be going at it hand to hand."
Harry took off his shirt and handed it to Hermione, before saying. "Wizards really need to get out more, they've become lazy. They just sit around waiting to duel. You have no stamina, don't like to get physical. What would you do if you lost your wand, Just stand there and die? No I plan to kick your ass without magic, so if you ever attempt to believe a lie about me again. You will get your facts straight, before you act."
Everyone stood around with their mouths open except for Fred, George and Ginny. Harry looked at Ginny and smiled, before saying.
"You get your wish Ginerva, to see your family hate me. For the record I will never! forgive you for this. When the truth comes out everyone will know what a whore! and liar! you really are. We have never had sex, so that baby could not be mine. Your brother is even willing to take an ass whipping for your lie. I hope you are proud of yourself."
"I'm not lying!" Ginny yelled. " I'm 2 months pregnant with your baby Harry!"
"I know you are lying now, I kicked you out of here more than 9 weeks ago. I didn't see you for a month after that. The last time I saw you before today was 5 weeks ago. If you are pregnant it's the immaculate conception, which means it's still not mine!"
Harry turned to Bill again.
"Are you sure you want to take an ass kicking for a lying whore?"
"Don't call her that!" Bill cried as he raked his hands through his hair.
"The truth hurts Bill," Hermione spoke up. "Now that I think about it, when we saw her 5 weeks ago she was at that expensive wizard restaurant."
Everyone turned around to look at Ginny.
"Who were you with Ginny?" Mrs. Weasley asked her.
Ginny started to cry. "No one!"
"Who's baby is that?" Bill yelled at Ginny.
"I can't tell you!" she cried. "It has to be Harry's!"
"But it's not mine and you know it!"
Molly stepped forward and slapped Ginny so hard that it echoed around the room. "I asked you a question Ginerva!" Molly said shaking Ginny.
"Harry's!" Ginny cried.
Hermione had enough of this. "Ginny if you say that one more time so help me I will knock your teeth down your throat."
Harry was so happy that Hermione believed him without question, he could've cried. Now that Ginny had upset her he knew he had to end this before somebody got hurt, and he knew it wasn't gonna be him or Hermione.
Arthur was now laying into Ginny. "Stop it now Ginerva! Stop lying."
Harry finished with this whole evening. "I have a test now that will let me know if that baby is mine, but I know it's not. This is only for the non-believers."
Harry called his fire cats over. Everyone was looking scared except for Hermione.
"My fire cats won't attack myself, Hermione Or anyone with Potter DNA. If my heir or child is inside of Ginny the cats will not attack, even if I tell them to."
Harry bent down in front of the cats then looked back at Ginny.
"Last chance."
"You wouldn't hurt our baby Harry, would you?" Ginny asked.
"If it were mine I would say no. Seeing as it's not mine. I could care less.I have never put my cone in your cream so why should I care for your devil spawn?" Harry asked Ginny.
Harry stood up after Ginny gave no answer.
"Fire cats attack!" Harry shouted.
Ginny screamed and held out her hands to try to protect herself.
"Stop!" Harry cried to the cats,and they sat down.
"Alright! Stop! The baby isn't Harry's" Ginny sobbed.
Gasps were heard throughout the room. Mrs. Weasley passed out for the second time that day. Fred caught her as he was closer to her then anyone else, and he didn't have a wand to shield her fall. Bill was so mad at Ginny that he yelled at her.
"You almost got me killed! I fucking believed you. You know I got a child coming with my wife. I was protecting your honor but now I see you have none. I want you out of my house tonight!" Bill turned to Harry. "I'm sorry Harry."
"I accept your apology Bill but we are no longer friends."
Ginny was crying hard, with her face in her hands. Arthur, Charlie, Percy and Ron also apologized for believing Ginny. Molly woke up and apologized to Harry and tried to hug him but he backed away from her. Harry just wanted them out of his house. Ginny was still crying, it was all too much. He grabbed Hermione's hand before addressing the group of Weasleys.
"Excuse me!" Harry shouted over the noise. "I just want to say, I accept the apologies of those that gave them. I forgive you but I'll never forget. From this day forward, I will only associate with Fred and George. They were the only two that were on my side, from the start."
Ron gasped at this. "What about our friendship Harry?" Ron asked.
"Ron we are no longer friends, That ended when you screwed lavender and broke Hermione's heart. She is now my lady and I won't subject her to your presence any longer. This has been lovely, but I must now ask you all to leave. The elves will return your wands at the gate. Thank you all for coming, have a nice life." Harry turned to Ginny.
"Have a nice life Ginerva and if you ever! Try to lie on me again I may have to call in that life debt."
"You wouldn't?" Ginny croaked out.
"Try me," Harry said staring at her.
"If you were smart, you'd have your baby daddy set you up with a house and money somewhere, to raise your son or daughter."
With that said, the Weasleys left Potter Manor for the last time, minus Fred and George.
