Chapter 1: Through Emerald Eyes

Soft slow music played as Harry watched the bridal party walk down the isle towards the white rose covered alter where Bill stood next to five equally red heads. The wedding was beautifully set in the Weasley's backyard; the weather was perfect, no cloud in the sky and the sun was shining brightly. As Harry watched the line of girls walk towards Bill, he noticed one girl in particular that stood out from the rest. Her smooth radiant red hair was sleek with slight curls falling down past her shoulders. Her form fitting emerald green gown complimented her hair perfectly.

"She's so beautiful" Harry thought to himself as Ginny walked past him.

He still couldn't believe that he had broken it off with Ginny at the beginning of the summer. He still wished that they were together, but he knew it was for the better. He wanted her to be safe. Harry did not know what he would do if she were to get hurt.

Harry's thoughts were cut off as everyone began to stand up as Fleur started down the isle towards her husband-to-be. Her silver gown shimmered in the sunlight making her look perfectly suited for a bride. Once Fleur reached Bill, Professor McGonagall proceeded with the ceremony. Harry carried on his daydreaming as the wedding carried on. Without noticing, it was already time for the bride and groom on exchange the rings.

"Do you take this man as your lawfully wedded husband?" McGonagall said looking at Fleur.

"I do" Fleur responded, looking in her groom's eyes

McGonagall turned to Bill, "And do you take this girl to woman to be your lawfully wedded wife?"

"I do" Bill replied without hesitation.

"Alright," McGonagall interrupted their longing gaze, "I am now glad to pronounce your man and…"

Just as McGonagall was about to say 'wife' a loud bang interrupted the ceremony. Seceral screams were heard as smoke was spread everywhere and the alter was set on fire. Harry looked around in panic trying to find out who had done this. Just as the smoke began to clear, he saw what he was dreading. At least twenty Death Eaters were proceeding towards the ceremony, wands at the ready. Harry drew out hi wand and looking around in desperation to find his friends and bring them to safety. Ron and Hermione had already begun to exchange curses with the Death Eaters, but there was one person that he could not find.

"Ginny" Harry breathed. He continued to look around, this time in complete panic. "No, oh no, you can't get hurt, not now. It's all my fault."

Just as he said this, another scream came from behind him. He turned around to find a tall Death Eater carrying away a now unconscious form with the famous red hair.

"Ginny!" Harry yelled as he bolted up in bed, sweat streaming down his face and his heart beating so fast that he thought it would burst. He looked around and found that he was still in his small room at the Dursley's. Harry held his head and tried to convince himself that it was just a dream.

"I have to find out if they're fine, if Ginny's fine." Harry finally said, failing to convince himself.

He looked at his clock on the night table beside his bed and saw that it was 2:00AM. Harry was finally seventeen and of age. He was free from the torture that the Dursley's had put him through his whole life.

"I have to get out of here." He said quietly, trying not to wake anyone up. He quickly grabbed all his belongings, threw them into his trunk, grabbed Hedwig's cage (she was out for the night), then disapperated to the Burrow not caring that he didn't have his license.

Once he Apperated at the Burrow, he realized that everything seemed to be normal. Someone could still be hurt, Ginny could still have been taken away. Without thinking, he ran as fast as he could towards the door and slammed his fist on the door. A few moments later, someone came to the door.

"Who is it?" came a grumpy, sleepy voice on the other side of the door. Harry assumed it was Mr. Weasley.

"It's me, Harry" Harry responded.

The door opened to revealed a very tired looking Mr. Weasley.

"Harry! Come in, come in!" Arthur said in surprise, "what are you doing here this early in the morning?" He shut the door behind Harry.

"Is everyone alright?" Harry said quickly looking around, "is Ginny here?"

"What are you on about, Harry?" Arthur responded with a confused look on his face. Having Harry show up in the middle of the night and then ask if everyone was fine was defiantly a shock. "Everyone's fine, and Ginny's in her room asleep. What's wrong?"

"It's just…it's nothing" Harry finally said, taking a seat at the kitchen table.

"Harry," Arthur said while taking a seat next to Harry, "if there's something wrong, you can tell me."

Harry just nodded silently while staring at the top of the table. Arthur looked at him in concern and finally said, "Would you like something to drink? Hot chocolate? Tea?"

"Tea would be great." Harry responded, still staring at the table.

Arthur fixed up two mugs of tea and then sat back down next to Harry, handing him his cup. Both of them drank in silence until the last dregs were left at the bottom of the mugs.

"You can stay here for the rest of the summer if you like, Harry" Arthur said, finally breaking the silence.

"Thanks Mr. Weasley that would be great." Harry said, finally looking up and managing a small smile.

"You can stay in Ron's room for the time being. I'm sure we can move you into Bill's old room after the wedding. He won't be needing it anymore." Arthur offered. He grabbed Harry's trunk and led him up the stairs to Ron's room. As he reached the door, Harry turned to Arthur.

"Thanks," Harry said, "For everything."

"You're always welcome here Harry." Arthur smiled then left towards his own room to try and sleep for the rest of the night.

Harry opened the door and saw that a cot was already set up in Ron's room. Harry didn't bother to change as he fell asleep once he lay down on the cot.
