About that time, they heard a fist beating on the door and Harry started looking for a way to escape. Reggie laughed at him and then did the unthinkable, he opened the door. Before he could get it partially open, a dark haired blur pushed past and before Reggie could blink, Megan was on Harry's lap and trying to find out if he still had his tonsils.
As Reggie stood there gaping at the sight before him, Kathleen, Cedric, Luna, Cho, and Daphne walked in right behind her.
Megan had finally released his lips and they could hear her whispering and crying "Please really be here. Please don't be a dream again."
"No love, I'm really here."
"Oh baby, I've missed you so much."
"I missed you too. You're the only reason I came back."
"Wait a minute that was you who came through the Veil the other night? Where have you been? Why didn't you come see me then?"
"I… I had some things to do that couldn't wait. I knew that if I came here, I wouldn't be able to do what I had to do."
"What have you done?"
"What had to be done to try and secure our future. I'm sorry about a lot of things but none more so than leaving you and not having you there beside me to help. I owe you so much and I wanted you to be proud that I used what you all taught me to make a better life for me… for us."
"Harry James Potter, I don't want to sound like Granger but you will tell me everything, NOW."
Harry chuckled "I plan to but some things I won't be able to share just yet."
She growled out. "And why not?"
He gave her a small grin. "Well, until you answer the question I asked you in your dream, some things can't be shared."
"I'm still waiting for you to ask me properly."
Harry stood with her still on his lap and turned to where he was facing the chair he was sitting in. He lifted her up and placed her in the chair while dropping down on one knee. It was at this point that she was gaping at him that he was going to do it right here in front of everyone. The thought also flashed through her mind of the difference she felt in Harry's body. The Harry that she was with before the third task was strong but he had a wiry frame. The Harry that stood before her now was taller, more filled out, and his magic was even more intense than ever but underneath it all, she could feel and see his tenderness towards her.
He pulled the box from his pocket and opened it for Megan to see. "Megan Alexis Jones, will you do me the honor of being my wife?"
She smirked. "Yes Harry Potter, I find myself wanting nothing more and have even dreamed of you asking me once. I do have one condition."
"Anything"
"I want a Christmas wedding and you have to promise me that you will never run off without me again."
Harry kissed her and said "Would you like a magical oath or will a promise do?"
She smirked "I think I can trust you enough to accept a promise. Does this mean I have to wait until Christmas to get the whole truth?"
"The whole truth is something I can only share with my wife. But there are some things I can share but we will need to discuss them in private."
She nodded in understanding and but then kissed him hard. Once they broke apart, she rose and dragged her fiancé over to the others who were standing there smiling at the privilege of being allowed to watch what had just happened. Harry was quickly pulled into hugs in celebration of his return and their engagement.
Reggie said "I think this calls for a celebration. Kat, I think we should gather the whole family to celebrate. What do you say?"
"Wonderful idea, I'll get right on it."
...
Megan led the younger generation out onto the grounds where they could sit and talk. She pushed Harry down on the ground and then sat in his lap. Harry told them what he could of what had happened to him since they last saw each other and they in turn filled him in on their lives. The conversation finally wound down and they sat there and processed everything. It was hard on the teens to think about the fact that Harry had died and came back even though they had been around during the injuries he had sustained this past year thanks to the tournament. For a while, all that could be heard was the low whispers between Harry and Megan.
She finally got up and pulled Harry with her. "We need to talk about some things and will catch up with you later."
Cedric snorted "Yeah, sure you do. You just want to go off and snog."
Megan slapped his arm. "He's my fiancé now Cedric Diggory, if I wanted to snog him, I'd do it sitting right here in front of you."
They walked off with Harry's arm wrapped around her. As they strolled around the grounds, Harry told her of all his families and what it meant as far as he knew for now. She offered her opinions and helped him prepare for this evening when they were sure he would be subjected to a question and answer session. She could tell from his silence that he had something important to tell her but he was holding back.
She stopped and turned to face him. "I can tell there's something else that you want to tell me but don't want to. I'm not going anywhere and we will deal with everything together."
He kissed her tenderly. "There is a matter that I inherited when I took the Black title."
Her eyes narrowed and she said "Just tell me!"
"It seems there is a marriage contract involved."
"To who?"
