Chapter 1 – Rebinding loose threads

Disclaimer: Oh yeah! I own Harry Potter and that's why I am posting here instead of making money out of it…. C'mon…. You know I don't, so don't sue me… I am just a 15 yr old girl who loves HP… Not own it…. Everything here but the plot belongs to the one and only JKR….

And without further delay, presenting to you Chapter 1

Harry Potter sat on the bed in an orange filled room in the Weasley's house. After all he felt that attending the wedding was something that he must do before he left for the horcrux hunt. The Weasley's deserved that. And suddenly he was filled with respect and admiration for Fleur Delacour.

Much like what he had commented last year when he was in this room, he knew that she was intelligent but then her acceptance of Bill as he was, in the present condition, threw light on her bravery and courage and not to mention her fierce determination to wed the person she loves despite his physical appearance

'Hope I find someone like that… Or maybe I shouldn't… Who knows if I am going to survive this? If an all-powerful wizard like Dumbledore could be brutally murdered in cold blood by the scum…the traitor, what chance did he stand? Yes. Dumbledore did mention something about love and he was forcefully reminded of the events that happened last year when Dumbledore explained to him that he had set too much store by the prophecy..

And then Harry silently vowed to avenge the death of his parents, Cedric, Sirius and Dumbledore and the large number of nameless and faceless figures who were slaughtered in the regimen of the Dark Lord… The chain, the locket, something of Gryffindor or Ravenclaw, he kept chanting to himself. He was so engrossed in his thoughts that he did not hear the door open revealing Hermione

" Harry! What are you doing here? The wedding is about to start. Don't you want to come down? People are going spare down there and all Ron can think of right now is getting the wedding over so that he can go feast. Honestly, that boy deserves to be more serious in some situation. You would think he doesn't have any consideration under the circumstances this wedding is occurring… Harry, Harry! Sorry I began rambling. Lets go down now shall we?"

Harry silently thanked the welcome distraction that Hermione was and followed her out of the door only to find him facing Ginny. Seeing Ginny was sort of painful. But what surprised Harry was that he did not feel any remorse on breaking up things with Ginny and he most certainly did not want to get together with Ginny during his short stay there. But Ginny refused to understand that it was for her own good. She was silent and most likely brooding over it.

Though she had agreed to it during Dumbledore's funeral, Harry figured that she was not taking the news very well after all… He hoped that one day he would be a happy man, with no Voldemort to kill, nothing to worry and happily settle down in life…

And so finally the wedding was over and Harry resigned to his room to start packing. Ron and Hermione joined him soon after

" What a tiring day! And to think that I actually managed to wear these robes? Mate, you agree that these are better than the ones mum got me for the Yule Ball though, don't you?" asked Ron, pointing to his robes

" Oh Honestly Ron… Leave him alone. Are you done packing? I know you like to leave things to the last moment"

Harry was relieved to find that they were back to normal after all that happened last year. It seemed too bizarre to even think of it.

" So Harry, are we telling the Weasley's directly or shall we leave them a note? And we are heading to Godric's Hollow I hope?"

" Hermione, I think it will be better if we leave a note. I am just afraid what their reaction might be if they find that I am taking Ron with me. They just had some happy moments during Bill's wedding and to answer your other question, I still haven't figured out where Godric's Hollow is. So I think it might be better if we went to Privet Drive first. And then I could introduce you to the graceful family who raised me like the apple of their eye", said Harry sarcastically

Hermione opened her mouth to retort but Ron bet her to it. " Harry mate, don't talk nonsense. I myself saw Hermione here looking up some nice jinxes that she perfected on the twins, especially for the muggles… We will make sure we give them a proper farewell, wont we Hermione… Or maybe I should call you Hermy?"

" Oh Yeah! Sure Ron… I will give you the assurance that I will… But call me Hermy once more, I don't think I might contain myself to giving a farewell to the Dursleys, you might become my guest too!"

" Ok Ok… I don't understand this. When Fleur calls you that you don't even retort… Poor me"

" Fine Ron. Leave it", said Harry clearly trying to suppress a grin.

" Hmph… I am going to get a glass of eggnog… I will be back soon"

" Hermione, there's something I've been meaning to ask you since… I know that Peter was the secret keeper when my parents died… So will I be able to know where Godric's will be? If I am a Potter I also get into the bond right? Or will it have been broken since my parents are dead"

" I know Harry, I looked it up. Since the person with whom the fidelius was performed is dead, the spell is broken now actually. But then I remember reading that your house was destroyed during that Halloween. Are you sure you want to go? Whatever decision you make, me and Ron will support you throughout, you know that don't you?" asked Hermione, enveloping Harry in a tight embrace as a few tears threatened to leak out of his eyes.

Ron, came in and put a hand on Harry's shoulder and one on Hermione's and said, " Don't worry mate. I know what you are thinking now. Me and Hermy here are coming with you no matter what. If you are Dumbledore's man thorough and through, then I am your man through and through. Ok?"

Hermione for once did not bother to correct Ron when he called her Hermy and muttered into Harry's tear soaked T-Shirt.

" Hey, what about me?"

" Don't worry, Hermy, you can be Harry's woman through and through.", said Ron and then realizing what he said he corrected himself with a shrug of his shoulders… And for once, Harry Potter was at complete peace with himself…
