Chapter 1.

Hermione, Luna, Hannah and Susan were sitting at the Three Broomsticks and all were having drinks. Hermione though, wasn't drinking much. Luna looked at her, "come on Hermione cheer up, it's Ron's fault he cheated on you with Lavender. Have a drink and have fun."

Hermione looked to Luna, "Huh? oh no I'm not thinking about Ron."

Luna's eyes widened "Oh, then what's going on? Don't let your mind wander or your heads going to be filled with Wrackspurts."

Hermione looked to Luna, "I'm worried about Harry. It's Halloween, the night his parents died and it's always hard for him and what's going on with Ginny is not helping."

Luna looked confused, "what's going on with Ginny?"

"They've been fighting worse than Ron and I and she's been prying into what happened during the time we were away during the war. Harry doesn't need that, it's only going to push him away."

Luna smiled, "oh yes, he needs someone who can understand him. Who can help him like a certain bushy haired witch who's still single." Hermione looked at her, "Luna, what are you getting at?"

Luna smiled sweetly, "well, if I were an expert, I would say someone wants to be more then friends with the boy who conquered and don't give me that we're just best friends line Hermione Granger. I know you jump whenever Harry needs your help."

Hermione frowned, Susan took a drink and looked at Hermione. "I would say take a chance Hermione, Ginny showed up at the Auror academy and she and Harry got into a row."

Hannah's eyes went wide, "that was true?, my cousin told me about that fight. No offence Hermione, but yours and Ron's rows are things of Hogwarts legend, but that fight they had at the Auror academy was bad."

Susan nodded, "Harry's lucky he didn't get kicked out of the academy."

Hermione shook her head, "why did she blow up there of all the places?"

The other girls nodded and the door to the bar opened and Harry and the Weasley brothers walked in. Bill walked Harry over to a table in the back and with help from Charlie and George they sat Harry down and Bill walked over to Tom.

"Hey Tom, the missus have you minding the bar tonight?"

The elder man nodded "Yes, the poor dear, been working hard so I thought I'd take tonight."

Bill nodded "Good man, glad to see Madame Rosemerta is taking a break. Can I get a bottle of Ogden's finest… actually make it two."

Tom looked over from the bar and saw Harry and could see the boy was upset. "Ah, I was wondering when I would see you boys walk into my bar. Terrible night for the young lad?"

Bill nodded and Tom placed two bottles on the bar and Bill reached into his pocket and Tom stopped him, "on the house. my wife knew James and Lily, she won't mind, Particularly given everything he has done." Bill nodded and grabbed the bottles and walked over to the table.

Bill walked over and heard his brother George. "I can't believe Gin flipped out like that, she knows what tonight is." Harry nodded and George seeing the bruise forming on Harry's cheek he reached into his pocket. "Here mate, bruise begone, only a little needed, don't want people freaking out." Harry nodded and took the container and applied some to his now red cheek.

Charlie looked at Harry. "So, what set the firebug off this time and why did she slap you for it?" George looked at Charlie shocked and Charlie looked back. "Hey, don't give me that look you and I both know Ginny always had a temper. She definitely got it from mum."

Harry sighed, "I was at the academy, everyone looked at me funny. Especially after Ginny's last visit." Harry sat the container down. George winced, they both remembered how that had gone, they even heard about it at the joke shop and Gringotts. Harry took another drink and continued, "after training I went back to work fixing up number 12 Grimmauld and Ginny came through the floo. I asked her why she wasn't with her team training and she said 'oh and I can't come to see you on my days off?' and I told her it was fine. I went back to painting and then she asked me about when I was going to talk about the time Hermione, Ron and I were away."

George looked at Harry, "and you told her just to leave it in the past. Was it that bad mate? Ron's told us some things, but not everything."

Harry sighed and lowered his head and clasped his hands behind it. "I close my eyes and I still see everything. Those nights we were all alone, no help, barely getting by undetected and… and when we got caught. I still remember the screaming." Bill quickly looked at Harry, seeing he was showing signs of breaking down. He quickly hit Harry with a calming charm and poured him a drink. "Here mate, drink."

Harry downed the liquid and felt the familiar burning sensation. Once Harry sat his glass down Bill poured him another. Which Harry also drank down quickly, Bill looked at Harry, "the night is young mate, just drink it slow."

Harry nodded and Bill looked at Charlie and George, "no more talk about the war guys." Bill then turned to Harry, "Ginny maybe our sister but she has an awful temper sometimes so let's have a fun night while the firefly cools down."

Back with the girls Hermione looked at Luna, "So who else is going to be here tonight?"

Susan looked at Hermione, "Padma and Pavarti are busy with Seamus and Dean."

Hannah took a drink ,"Neville is busy with his lessons under Professor Sprout, hopefully he will be a Professor soon."

Luna smiled, "Rolf will be by later tonight."

Hannah smiled, "sorry Hermione we know you don't want to hear about the boys cause of Ron. So let's drink tonight and have fun."
