I hope this is soon enough

Chapter 26

Six days later and the wizarding world still hadn't overcome the shock. Not only Death Eaters attacked the Ministry but also Matthias Barge, the head of the Auror Department proved to be the traitor who helped them in. Details about what the Death Eaters wanted or what their plans for now on were, fortunately didn't got leaked, but the true identity of Apostollo and the fact that Harry Potter was now to replace Matthias made it all the way through Daily Prophet's first pages. And the bad news continued since it was obvious that the Death Eaters and their leader, Artemis, were crazed by the fact that they didn't get what they wanted. New attacks and deaths were revealed everyday and people could do nothing but panic.
Meanwhile, Ron thankfully made a full recovery and Hermione was exonerated from all charges and now they were both back at the Potter residence with their kids. On the other side however, Harry was going crazy with all the work he had to do just so he could get rid of all the reporters. It was almost impossible to convince them that everything would be alright while he wasn't so sure himself.
He still hadn't forgotten the second goal of Artemis after acquiring the book; killing Ginny. The problem was that while he would like to spend every waking hour with her, making sure she's safe, he couldn't; because as Hermione and the Daily Prophet's first page had said, the auror office would be doomed at this point without him, and God knew how much people needed aurors at this hour. So as a solution he had some aurors watching over Ginny's every move; however that proved to be not all that helpful since he was still worried about her when he was away and Ginny was so irritated by the presence of the aurors all around her, that she was driving them and everybody else crazy with her nerves; her pregnancy hormones didn't help either.
"Gin, honey, they're here to protect you; don't you think that you could at least let them use one of the bathrooms?" Harry told Ginny as they were arguing again about the aurors.
"I don't care what they're doing here! They're bossy and disobedient and messy and I want them out of here!" Ginny yelled.
"Gin, this is hard on all of us but you have to be patient and..."
"And what? What is going to happen? I don't even know why you had to bring them here, I'm perfectly safe here! I mean, what do you think is going to happen? That Artemis is gonna blast into our house with an axe and cut my head off?"
"Gin, this isn't funny", Harry sighed. "My people found four women dead last night. I can't risk losing you. Why can't you understand that?"
"Why can't you understand that I cannot breathe with those people all around me?"
Harry shook his head and closed his eyes for a few moments; when he opened them he looked at her.
"I can't keep having the same fight with you over and over again", he said.
"Neither can I, so just get rid of them".
"I can't leave you unprotected".
"I'll be fine", Ginny rolled her eyes. "Just get them out of my house!"
"Do you want me to quit my job? Is that what you want?" Harry asked her.
"What? How do I want that?"
"I can't leave you alone, so that means that either you're gonna have to tolerate the aurors or that I would have to quit my job and be here all the time!"
"But I am not alone! Ron is here! Hermione is here! The kids are here!"
"Ron is helping George with the shop half of the day, Hermione is at the Ministry with me and I won't even bother to say anything about the kids; they're going back to school in half a month anyway", Harry said.
Ginny sighed and started walking up and down the living room, while her eyes were welling up.
"Fine", she said half sobbing. "Fine then, just leave them here to mess up my bathroom, mud my carpets and eat all of chocolates you brought me!"
"Gin", Harry sighed and walked over to her. He sat on the couch and pulled her next to him, since she was now too heavy to sit on his lap. "I'm sorry but I can't work, I can't give instructions and I can't even think right when I'm worried about you; and I'm worried all the time".
Ginny exhaled and glared at him.
"I hate you when you do that", she told him.
"What?" he asked confused.
"You know what! That 'I can't imagine my life without you so please do what I ask' kind of thing! You do it all the time and you know that I cannot resist it or stay angry with you!"
"Does that mean you will allow the aurors to stay and keep you safe and me sane?" he asked her. She growled.
"Fine", she said. "BUT...only if you give them direct orders not to eat my chocolates!"
"Done", Harry laughed.
"Do not laugh for I am deadly serious! If I catch one more of those bulimic monsters with chocolate all over their mouth, I'm gonna get really really vicious!"
"Huh...at the office I've got aurors fighting off Death Eaters everyday but somehow I'm more sorry for those poor people I brought here!"
"Haha, that was really funny", Ginny said ironically. Harry laughed and hugged her.
"Will you stop driving them crazy?"
"I will", she sighed.
"Will you be really cautious and only leave the house when you absolutely have to?"
"I will".
"Will you be careful who you let into the house?"
"I will".
"Will you stop hating me for tonight and kiss me?"
"No, that's your job", she said but he was already kissing her before she could finish her sentence.
"Mr. Potter the office called..." the auror that came into the room stopped when he saw them and they jumped apart. "I'm sorry, am I interrupting?"
"Yes", Ginny replied angrily.
"No", Harry laughed. "What is it?"
"Well, Dolohov will be transported to Azkaban in a few hours and you said you wanted..."
"Oh, yeah, right", he said and got up.
"Yeah, right, what? Where are you going? It's almost midnight", Ginny complained.
"I know Gin but I wanna be the one to take that monster to prison after everything that he did to James", he told her.
"Yeah and after all it's possible that the Death Eaters will try to free him, we'll propably gonna need you sir anyway", the auror said.
"Fine", Ginny sighed. "Just make sure you punch Dolohov for me, okay?"
"Okay", Harry smiled and winked at her. "I'll propably be really late though, so don't wait up for me", he added and noticing the frustrated look on her face he went on. "But I promise you that tomorrow I'll come back at noon and I won't go back except there's a huge need".
A smile spread on Ginny's face.
"Okay then", she said and got up. "It's a deal", she added and kissed him goodbye.
