"If I didn't know better I would have thought you were trying to send me a message…" the boy noted with a hint of teasing, earning a slight blush from the redhead. Currently they were walking down the hallway towards their hotel room, now this in of itself would not have been odd save for the request of Ginny for their room, the 'Honeymoon Suite'.
"I uhm…" The young Weasley wanted to think of something to defend her choice that didn't make her sound so odd, but she just couldn't, not that it mattered to her 'husband'.
The raven-haired boy merely smiled, "Relax my love, I always enjoy trying something new. Plus, I have always wanted to spend a week in Paris."
She smiled warmly at the boy she had fallen in love with. He could have anyone he wanted, could have them in any way he wanted and yet he still let them choose and respected their requests. Upon their arrival at the designated room the teen unlocked the room before turning back to his 'bride'.
Ginny quirked her head to the side, "Yes? What is wrong Harrrry!?" the girl immediately squealed as he swept her up into his arms before carrying her into the room, grinning while she giggled with delight.
...
"I cannot believe this!"
Hedwig paused as she stood at the doorway to the kitchen, before entering in to spy Fleur Delacour fighting the urge to tear a letter into tiny pieces.
"What's wrong Fleur?"
"Th-these… arseholes! You know that Gabbie applied to Hogwarts? Well we just received a response… they said no . She can't go back to Beauxbatons, what are we going to…"
"Fleur, take a deep breath, sit down, and relax. Harry isn't going to let anything happen to you or your sister. As soon as he gets back we will tell him what happened, but until then let's talk with the others and come up with a backup plan okay?" With that the two set out to locate the other adults, and found them gathered in the sitting room a few minutes later.
As the two girls entered Sirius frowned at the expressions they were bearing, but before he could inquire Hedwig took it upon herself to address them, "It seems as though Gabbie has been denied acceptance to Hogwarts, most likely as some means of discrimination or as revenge for her joining Harry. Obviously, he will be rather upset by this so let's see if we can come up with a plan in the meantime."
Snape nodded first, "Since I am unable to return to Hogwarts myself I can teach her Potions in my free time. I may dislike dealing with a room full of idiots, but I have always enjoyed the individual apprenticeships and the amount of skill that can be passed down through them."
"I am a bit of a Transfiguration prodigy, so I should be able to help her there." Sirius chimed in next, with a confirming glance over to his best friend he continued, "Plus Moony taught Defense two years ago and is pretty darn good at Charms."
"I would be happy to go over politics, social etiquette, and English if she requires it. While Draco is away at school I have nothing else to do besides sit around and gossip with the other Pureblood mothers, this will be a nice change of pace." Narcissa noted.
Fleur held back the happy tears, before moving forward and pulling Hedwig into a surprise hug. Her own mother and father would not have gone through half of that amount of effort if they had still been in France, and on speaking terms.
...
"How is your meal my dear?"
The redhead glanced up, smiling warmly at the boy seated across from her. "It's amazing Harry! Thank you so much for bringing me here… and paying… and just, everything."
He grinned back in response, "Well worth it just for your company."
"And the nights?" she teased.
He took on one of his 'thoughtful' expressions, "Oh I don't know about that, if memory serves I recall someone passing out last night from pleasure but I don't think it was me…"
She blushed, muttering something about him being a prat before shoving some more food into her mouth.
"Don't be upset my dear, just some light teasing, I promise I will make it up for you later hm? That or when we go shopping." He returned to his meal, missing the guilt crossing over the girl's face.
Moments later her whispered tone had him halting mid bite, "I'm not a very good girlfriend am I…"
His eyes snapped up to take in her sad expression, "Ginny…"
"It's true… I mean you are paying for everything, indulging in my childish requests, going on the vacation that I wanted to go on… this isn't fair to you."
He reached across the table faster than she could react, grabbing her hands in his own, gently yet firmly. "Ginny, I don't care about any of that. Between my own fortunes and my godparents I have more money than I could ever hope to spend, I chose to go with you to Paris because…" he faltered, frowning as if unsure of himself.
"What? Harry what is…"
