Chapter two
After everyone had finished an enjoyable dinner, Harry took Ron and Hermione out to the shed to show how he had set it up.
'Harry where did you get the piano?' Hermione said looking over at the beautiful grand piano.
'It was my mothers, I brought it from the house,' Harry said, Ginny nudged him, and he nodded.
Harry went and sat down at it and started playing, Ginny, Ron and Hermione walked closer as Harry played and sang, Charlie and Katie had come in too and stood next to the others mesmerized. When Harry looked up, he saw them all staring at him in shock.
'What?' Harry saw all the girls had tears running down their faces and even Ron and Charlie looked moved.
'That's was so beautiful Harry,' Hermione said choking back her sobs.
'I never heard that before Harry,' Ginny said as she walked over and stood next to him.
'I found the music sheets here,' Harry stood and opened the stool, there were stacks of music inside the seat. 'They must have been my mothers.' Harry said looking sadly down at the sheets of music.
Ginny pulled Harry into her arms and held him, they didn't hear the others leave the shed and go back into the house.
The four of them sat down still looking amazed. 'Did you hear that, Harry's voice is…I've heard him sing and I've rehearsed with him, but that was amazing,' Katie said looking at Charlie.
'I know what you mean, I've hear him sing to Ginny all the time, and I've never heard him sing like that.' Charlie said.
'He really should do it professionally, he would be one major superstar.' Katie said.
'That's there is the problem, Katie, Harry never liked being the centre of attention, he hates people looking at him.' Hermione said knowing exactly what Katie mean, but also knowing Harry and how he felt.
'Yeah, he doesn't. He's never liked any sort of attention.' Ron said.
'Then why did he do the benefit then?' Katie asked.
'Well, Harry likes to help and he thought that would be a good way to raise money for the school fund, and he was willing to put himself out there to raise as much as he could. He still feels responsible for everyone that lost their lives because of Voldemort.' Hermione said.
Harry and Ginny walked back in. 'We wondered where you disappeared too,' Ginny said, as Harry led her to the couch and pulled her down on his lap, holding her tight.
'We thought you might want to be alone for a while.' Charlie said looking at Harry and saw his eyes were red. 'Are you alright Harry?'
'Yeah, I may not have known my parents, but having some of my parents things here, I just feel closer to them.' Harry said looking at Charlie, then he noticed Katie's face. He jerked his head towards her for Charlie to see.
Charlie turned to Katie and saw the pain on her face, he didn't say anything, he just picked her up and took her into the bedroom. When he closed the door he put her down on the bed and knelt in front of her, holding her face.
'Baby, what's wrong?'
She didn't say anything just threw her arms around Charlie and started crying hard. Charlie had no idea what was wrong so he just held her, trying to soothe her as he rubbed her back.
'Shhh, baby, everything's alright, come on, tell me why you're upset?' Charlie said, but when Katie didn't say anything he lifted her up and lay down with her in his arms, holding her tightly to wait out her tears.
When her tears stopped and her sobs eased she looked at Charlie. 'I'm sorry, it's just listening to what Harry said about his parents, I don't even know who my parents were, not their names, nothing.' she had tears coming to her eyes again.
'Shhh, it's alright Katie,' something Katie said made Charlie look at her. 'What do you mean you didn't know their names, you knew they were O'Connell didn't you?'
'No,' she sniffed. 'they gave me that last name at the orphanage, all they knew there was my first name, because they said I told them that's was what my name was.'
'Oh baby, I'm sorry, have you tried to find out?'
'No, I didn't know where to start, and I've just been working so I could live and feed myself. I never really had the time to look into it.'
'Would you like to start looking now, I could help if you want me too.'
Katie looked up at him, tears still leaking from her eyes. 'You would do that Charlie, you would help me look for information about them.'
'Of course I will, I'll do anything to help you and to put a smile back on that beautiful face, now come on, cheer up, with us working together, we'll find out something about them.'
She threw her arms back around Charlie, pushing back onto his back and kissing him passionately. She slowly climbed on top of him, still kissing him fiercely and hungrily. Charlie's hand had started to wander down her back and gripped her backside, it pushed her onto him harder and he groaned. Charlie reached up and started pulling her top off of her and he only broke the kiss while her top came over her head. Then he had one hand at her jeans button and the other undoing her bra, her bra came off and her jeans were undone
Katie stopped kissing him and stood up pulling her jeans and undies off and undid Charlie's jean and pulled them down and off along with his undies, shoes, and socks.
Charlie pulled his top off then pulled Katie back on top of him. She lowered herself onto him and went back to kissing him fiercely. They moved with each other for a while then Charlie pulled her off of him and flipped her onto her back, and his mouth lowered over her breast, as his hand moved down to her wetness. He inserted a finger, heard her groan loudly, which made him smiled but his mouth never left her breasts knowing the others out in the living room would hear them, but he didn't care, neither of them cared. As he moved his finger out of her, he moved, kissing down her small but beautiful body, he got to her heat and put his mouth over her, sucking and licking until her moans and calling his name got very loud, her body spasmed as her climax hit, then he moved over Katie and slowly entered her watching her every expression, he started to move slowly at first, then got faster and harder. She was calling his name over and over and again very loudly and that turned Charlie on more as he moved still faster until they both groaned loudly and Charlie collapsed on top of her panting heavily.
'Could you keep it down in there,' Ron yelled from the other room. Then Charlie and Katie heard Hermione have a go at Ron with Harry and Ginny laughing loudly.
'Well, that was amazing,' Katie said panting heavily.
'I know what you mean, baby, that was fantastic, but I don't think Ron enjoyed it.' Charlie started laughing and couldn't stop, then Katie joined him. They were both laughing so hard they could hardly breathe.
'You know,' said Charlie taking short panting breaths, 'When we move into our place we can be as loud as we want and I definitely intend to be,' he slowly got up and stared down at Katie. 'Let's get dress and go see Ron and Hermione before they leave.' she nodded and they both put their clothes back on, Charlie kissed her once more then walked out of the room back into the sitting room and sat down.
Ron was glaring at Charlie as Hermione nudged him. Harry and Ginny were still giggling while she still sat on his lap.
'What?' Charlie asked looking at Ron, and Harry and Ginny broke into fits of laughter again.
'You could have kept it down a bit don't you think,' Ron said scowling at his brother.
'No, I don't think so Ron, when I make love to my fiancée I put my whole self into it, that includes my voice, and so does Katie, don't you baby,' Charlie said looking at her then kissing her fiercely again.
'That is something I don't want to know about anybody's sex life,' Ron said, but a small smile appeared on his face.
'I think you've got the right idea Charlie,' Harry said looking at Ginny.
'You can't talk, when you two go at it the whole house starts to shake, and not knowing where you're going at it.' Charlie turned to Ron and Hermione. 'I've walked in on them so many times all over the house, you wouldn't believe it.' Charlie said then smiled at Harry and Ginny.
'Charlie, that's our sister you're talking about,' Ron said back to glaring at him.
'And she's Harry's wife Ron, remember that. They can do what they want in their own home.' Hermione said.
'Thank you Hermione,' Ginny said smiling at Ron as she looked at him. 'That is right my brother, I'm Harry's wife and what we do in our own home is nobody's business, even if they do hear us or see us occasionally.' she looked back at Harry, 'Right sweetheart?' Harry nodded and pulled her into him and kissed her fiercely.
'Alright, can we cut the sex talk out please? I still don't want to hear about my brother and especially my sister's sex lives.'
'Alright Ron, we were just kidding around, how about some tea,' everyone nodded. 'Kreacher,' Harry called and the house elf appeared.
'What is my master's wish for Kreacher,' the elf bowed.
'You could bring us all some tea please Kreacher.'
'Of course Master Harry, Kreacher will be right back,' and he trotted into the kitchen.
'Katie got a bit of a surprise today Harry, when Kreacher called her Mistress Katie.' Charlie said smiling at Harry.
'Oh, yeah I forgot about that, takes some getting used to doesn't it?' Harry said watching Katie.
'It was so strange but Charlie explained about elf law and because Charlie and I are engaged, but still.'
'Why would Kreacher call Katie that Harry?' Hermione asked.
Harry saw the look on Hermione's face and knew she didn't like the idea of elf ownership. 'I just forgot to mention it, when I was drinking and Charlie was helping I had Kreacher obey him with whatever Charlie asked, so he could keep Kreacher from getting me anymore to drink, and to get him to get rid of all the bottles I had hidden around the place, so he calls Charlie Master Charlie now, and like Katie said there engaged so that makes her Mistress Katie.'
'Maybe you should tell him not to now Harry, I don't need to worry anymore about you drinking.' Charlie said looking seriously at Harry.
'I'll leave it for now, since your living here it just makes it easier.' Harry said.
'Oh we forgot to tell you,' Charlie said the smiled at Katie. 'We bought a house today, it'll be ready to move into in just over a month.'
'Wow, that's great, but you know you didn't have to rush, you can stay as long as you like.' Harry said and Ginny nodded next to him.
'Yeah I know, and I appreciate that, really. But I think it's time and with us getting married, so we found this beautiful place and bought it today.' Charlie said smiling at Katie.
'Where is it Charlie, where are you going to live?' Ginny asked her brother.
Charlie smiled at Katie. 'Right here in Godric's Hollow, I saw this house one day walking and fell in love with it and when I showed Katie today, she did as well.'
'That's fantastic, we're all going to be neighbours,' Hermione said, 'Well when we're home that is, we've hardly spend any time in our place, have we Ron?'
'No, with the shop and Hogwarts, we don't get to be there that much.' Ron sounded a little resentful of that.
They all sat talking about Charlie's house, he described it with help from Katie and said they'd let everyone know when they set a date and that they were planning on telling Arthur and Molly tomorrow night when they come to dinner. They all enjoyed being together and knew that times like these wouldn't always come so easy once everyone went back to the own lives.
The next morning Harry woke excitedly, he saw Ginny asleep on her stomach and leaned down and kissed her on the back of the neck, then hoped out of bed and headed for the shower. He was standing under the water with his eyes closed enjoying it on his body when Ginny stepped in and wrapped her arms around him, kissing her way down his body. She never ceased to surprise Harry with some of the things she did to him and the way she made him feel. He stood there enjoying the feel of her mouth when she stopped and stood up, Harry kissed her fiercely and picked her up and put her up against the wall. She wrapped her legs around his waist giving him full access, he immediately accommodated her as he entered her very slowly. They watched each other as their rhythm built up getting faster and faster. Ginny started groaning loudly, wanting more. They kept going until they felt the release. Harry kept hold of her and buried his face in her hair.
'That's was a great way to wake up, I might skip the morning shower from now on and have that instead.' Ginny said.
'You wish is my command, my lady,' Harry said and kissed her hungrily again. 'But yeah, that was fantastic,' they waited till their breathing got back to normal and washed each other than got out and dried off, they both walked back into the bedroom to get dressed, Ginny had been bending over picking up her clothes from the floor when she felt Harry's hunger and wanting.
Ginny walked back over to him, 'Harry, I can feel what you want remember,' she pulled him to her, looking up into his eyes.
'Sorry Gin, when you bent over like that, with nothing on, my mind just froze on that picture.'
'Well then,' Ginny said and turned in his arms and rubbed herself up against him then went over to the bed, and crawled up onto it facing away from Harry. 'Why don't you do what you mind is telling you to do.' Ginny looked over her shoulder at Harry and saw his arousal.
Harry gulped then slowly walked over and got up behind her on the bed, he put his hands around her breasts and pulled her up against him, kissing her neck from behind, then he pushed her back down and moved down between her legs and put his mouth over her, she instantly opened further, moaning loudly. Her body was jerking with the feel of Harry's tongue, she climaxed quickly and Harry came back up behind her, entering her slowly, then instantly they got faster as they couldn't hold it much longer. The moved together in this new way faster and faster until they both groaned loudly as they came. Ginny lowered herself onto the bed with Harry going with her. He stayed lying on top of her kissing her back.
'You are definitely full of surprises Mrs. Potter,' Harry said gently rubbing down her back. He slowly moved and lay on his back and Ginny turned over and cuddled him.
'I'm glad, and I hope I can always surprise you Mr. Potter.'
'I have no doubt you will sweetheart. Even though I'd love to stay here I've got to get up, the band will be here early so we can sit and talk about some songs we want to include.'
'Go on, get dressed, I'll be down in a moment.' Harry nodded got up off the bed and dressed and headed down stairs. Ginny could feel his excitement, he said he never wanted to do this for a profession but he always gets excited when he knows he's going to play with the Phoenix Flames. She might just have to discuss it with him and see what he says.'
Harry was eating breakfast when Katie, Liam, John and Patrick walked in. 'Hey, good to see you again, you want breakfast?' they all nodded and came and sat down. 'Kreacher, could you get them some breakfast please?'
'Of course Master Harry, I'll get it now.' he bowed and went to prepare more food.
'Katie told us you want to join us in the fund raising Harry and how much you already gave, I've got to say you are definitely full of surprises.' Liam said pouring himself a cup of tea
'Like I told Katie, it's something I feel very strongly about and I could afford it, so with that and what gets raised I'd say that it's off to a good start.'
'We really appreciate that Harry, most of us are orphans so we really wanted this to raise a lot of money and if you don't mind my saying, having Harry Potter perform will definitely raise a lot.' Patrick said.
Harry looked surprised at what Patrick had said. 'I'm the only one that wasn't an orphan Harry,' said Liam 'But we're all family now, and I include you and Ginny in that as well.'
'Thanks, since I am technically an orphan I suppose I fit in,' Harry said making the others laugh.
They all sat there talking and eating breakfast when Ginny and Charlie walked in. Harry pulled Ginny onto his lap and Katie stood up and Charlie sat pulling Katie onto his lap. Charlie gave Katie a very long passionate good morning kiss.
'Hey gorgeous, how's my beautiful fiancée this morning,' Liam, John and Patrick gasped.
'You're getting married,' Liam said looking from Charlie to Katie. 'You could have told us Katie.'
'I was waiting till we got here,' she stuck her tongue out at them and went back to kissing Charlie.
The three of them shook their heads and turned back to Harry while they waited for Katie and Charlie to finish.
'Ah Harry, Katie told us she heard you sing a new song yesterday and thought we might like to include it, will you play it for us, the way she was going on it must be good.'
'Sure, I don't mind,' Harry looked over at Katie and Charlie. 'Do you want to wait for them or do you want to come out now?'
'By the look of them two, we might as well head out now.' Liam said.
All but Charlie and Katie got up and walked out to the shed. Harry sat down at the piano and the three guys looked at each other than Harry. When he started playing and then sang the three looked exactly like the others did when Harry sang that for them. When he finished he looked up, and saw their faces, so he waited till someone said something.
'I told you didn't I?' said Katie as she and Charlie walked over to them.
'Yeah, but I had no idea, Harry that was amazing, you have got to put that on the album.' John said still in shock at the sound of Harry's voice.
'What album,' Harry said looking confused.
'We're doing an album to help raise more funds, all proceeds going to it, and if you sing that on it the album will sell millions.'
Harry looked at them then at Ginny not knowing what to think. 'Well, yeah, I suppose I could, I never intended to sing professionally but since it's to help raise more money, why not.'
'Well when Katie told us you wanted to join in we thought if you would, you could do 3 or 4 tracks on the album, that one you just sang, maybe one of your ballads and a couple of rock songs, what do you think Harry?' Liam said.
'Yeah, where would we do that, record the album I mean?'
'There's a studio we use sometimes, we've booked it for next week, once we decide what songs are going to be on it and those will also be done at the fund raiser.'
Everyone saw Harry looking very apprehensive, Charlie walked over to him, putting a hand on his shoulder. 'You're going to have to leave this place sooner or later especially for the concert Harry.'
'I know Charlie, it's just I'm really nervous about going out and people seeing me, I'm not looking forward to anyone asking how I am or how I'm coping, or showing me any sort of sympathy.'
Ginny walked up to him and sat on his lap. 'If you want to do this, I'll come with you if you want. I'm scared as well about going out, but with me, not everybody knows my face like they do you, so it will be hard, but we can handle this.' Ginny said keeping her arms around his neck.
'I just don't want anything to drive me to go back to drinking again, I won't do that again and if anyone says how sorry they are for our loss I might just lose it.' Harry said holding Ginny tightly.
'Harry, if you want I'll come with you too, I'll keep you away from it no matter what anyone has to say or does. I'll be there to make sure of it.' Charlie said gripping Harry's shoulder tighter.
Harry took a deep breath. 'Thanks Charlie, I think with you, both Ginny and me will get through it, at least the first time, it just might help.' Harry saw Liam, John and Patrick looking quizzically at him. 'I'm an alcoholic and it hasn't been that long since I stopped, I haven't left this place since I stopped, because of losing...' Harry's voice caught in his throat.
'Harry and Ginny lost their baby they were expecting, and it caused Harry drinking to get a lot worse,' said Charlie, still holding Harry and he put a hand on Ginny's shoulder as well.
'Sorry Harry, I didn't know, listen if you want to get all the equipment, we could do it here?' Liam said sadly.
Harry looked from Ginny to Charlie and saw Charlie giving him a look. 'No it's alright Liam, Charlie's right, I've got to leave here sooner or later. If Ginny and I are together and Charlie is with us the first time, I'll be fine.'
'Good man Harry, you can do this,' said Charlie giving Harry's shoulder another squeeze then gave his sister a kiss on the cheek, then went back over to Katie. 'I'm going to leave you to your music but I'll be inside when you have a break, and I might just come in later to listen and watch.' he picked Katie up and kissed her passionately again, then lowered her and walked back into the house.
'I'm going inside too, I'll see you later sweetheart,' Ginny said kissing Harry then getting up off his lap and following Charlie back inside.
Charlie was sitting at the kitchen table when Ginny walked in and joined him. 'I am so grateful to you Charlie, Harry does need to get out, I know I need to as well, but Harry feels so scared about getting too stressed or angry with something someone might say, that he might start drinking again. He really doesn't want to do that again.'
'I know Ginny, I've been there. It will be hard if something does happen, or someone decided to say the wrong thing, but hopefully he will be alright and I'll be there to help.' Charlie sat thinking then decided to talk to Ginny. 'Ginny, can I ask you to help me with something?'
'Of course Charlie, I'd do anything for you, you know that.'
'Well, it's for Katie really, when she got upset last night and I took him into the bedroom, she told me that she doesn't know anything about her parents, she doesn't even know their names. O'Connell was the name the orphanage gave her, they only knew her first name, Katie.'
'Oh Charlie, that must be so hard on her, not knowing anything. I know Harry never knew his parents but he knows all about them and he's able to have some of their stuff, as well as pictures he's got of them. Poor Katie has nothing, I'll help anyway I can.'
'Thanks Gin, I thought I'd go to the orphanage and see if I can get any information, like who might have dropped her off, maybe they might know where she was found, it might be a place to start. I thought you might be able to get as much information about what babies were born that year. We might be able to narrow down who her parents might be by elimination some of them. I know it's a long shot but you should have seen her face, it was heartbreaking.
'Anything Charlie, I've come to care for Katie very much, and she makes you happy. She's family, and we help family.' she got up and stood behind him putting her arms around him.
'Thanks sis, I really appreciate it, but will you be able to handle going out with me and doing this.' Charlie said gripping her arms that were around him.
'If I'm with you, yeah I'll be fine.' she kissed the top of his head and sat back down. 'I know it will be hard, just like Harry said, but we have too sooner or later, and if Harry has enough courage to do it, then I can do it as well.'
They sat discussing everything they could think of that they might be able to do to track down any sort of information on Katie's parents. Charlie wrote down Katie's birthdate, where the orphanage is and anything else he could think of. They decided to go tomorrow and start looking and hopefully find something to tell Katie.
Charlie and Ginny sat at the table for hours going through everything, when they realised the time.
'Why don't we go get them to come in to eat, it's past lunch time, they must be hungry. I'll get Kreacher to prepare some for everyone.' Ginny said.
'Okay, let me put this stuff way, I don't want to get Katie's hopes up, in case we don't find anything.' Ginny nodded and Charlie walked into his room, putting the papers into his desk. He met Ginny back in the kitchen and they walked out into the shed. The five of them were playing so Ginny and Charlie stood back listening to them. Harry and each of the band one made a few suggestions then try them out until they had the song just the way they all wanted it.
When they finished, Charlie walked over to Katie and picked her up. 'It's lunch time everyone, time to eat.' he leaned down and kissed Katie fiercely. When they finished they noticed everyone else was gone. 'Will you look at that, we're alone.'
'Let's take advantage of it while we can,' Katie said and led Charlie over to the couch. She pushed him back onto it, and sat straddling him, just slightly off his groin. Katie undid his jeans and pulled him free, playing with him as she felt him get bigger. Charlie grabbed her and put his hands under her dress and felt she wasn't wearing any knickers. He looked up at her in surprise. 'I wanted to be ready, at a moment's notice, and they just get in the way.' she kept playing until he was rock hard and then lowered herself onto him. They started slow, with Katie lifting up and down, but it wasn't long before their movements got faster as they moaning louder, and calling out each other's names. It went on for a long time until they both were very satisfied.
Charlie held her tightly for the longest time. 'You have made me very happy baby and I can't wait for you to be my wife.' he kissed her fiercely. 'You know, we're going to have to start making some decisions on the wedding soon, like a date, and the quicker the better as far as I'm concerned.'
'Why don't we talk tonight after dinner, go through some dates, where we might like to get married because I can't wait to be Mrs. Katie Weasley.' Katie said kissing his neck then sucked it very hard giving it nips with her teeth.
Charlie groaned again as he felt himself growing while he was still inside of her. Her teeth bit harder as he gripped her tighter.
'Hmmm, what you do to me,' Charlie said losing control very quickly. They started moving together, enjoying the feeling they were enticing each other, when their loud moans started again. They finished and Katie lay against Charlie's chest as they both tried to bring their breathing back under control. 'Don't you think we should go and eat before they come back in.' Charlie said still breathing heavily.
'Alright,' Katie said and she slowly pulled herself off of him, Charlie closed his eyes at the feelings she sent through his body. Katie stood up and looked down at him. 'That is a beautiful sight.' she said looking at his arousal.
Charlie shook his head and stood up, fixing himself up. 'You are going to kill me woman,' Charlie said, picking her up and threw her over his shoulder and she giggled as he walked into the house.
They walked into the kitchen and Charlie sat down putting Katie on his lap. Everyone smiled at them, then started talking and eating again. Katie picked up some meat from her plate and feed it to Charlie, her finger lingering in his mouth then Charlie closed his mouth over her finger sucking it as she pulled it slowly out.
Patrick leaned over to Harry. 'Do you they ever stop,' Harry shook his head. 'How do you put up with that going on all the time.'
'Well,' Harry looked at Ginny and she sent her feelings of wanting to him, Harry gulped feeling himself getting very turned on. 'We're just as bad,' Harry said standing up and picking Ginny up and they walked up the stairs disappearing.
Patrick looked over at Liam and John, shaking his head. 'I don't know how anyone gets anything done around here. All everyone does is shag.' the three of them went back to eating and deciding on what song they were going to do next.
Charlie and Ginny had visited the orphanage, and using a bit of magic was able to copy Katie's file to take home and study it. They thought they'd do it when they were all rehearsing again.
Over the next few days Harry and the Phoenix Flames had got six new songs down perfect, including three that Harry will do on the album.
'Tomorrow we go record the first lot of songs, we can meet up at the Leaky Cauldron at 10 if that's fine with everyone?' everyone nodded but Harry looked very apprehensive. 'That okay with you Harry?' Liam asked seeing the look on Harry's face.
Harry took a deep breath, 'Yeah, that'll be fine Liam.' he sat there thinking, if Ginny was going to be with him, he was worried that woman might confront Harry or say something to Ginny, and he could feel himself getting very angry.
'Harry, Harry, are you alright mate,' John said seeing the look on Harry's face. Charlie and Ginny had come in, they walked straight over to Harry.
'Harry sweetheart, are you alright?' Ginny asked putting her hand to his face.
Harry looked up at Ginny. 'Can you come inside with me for a moment, I need to have a word.' Harry stood up and waited for Ginny to take his hand. 'We'll be back in a bit.' he said to everyone and they walked back inside and Harry took Ginny straight into the library closing the door and leading them both to the couch.
'Harry, what's wrong, you're a white as a ghost,' Ginny said looking very worried at Harry and feeling his apprehension and fear.
'I have to tell you something before we head into town tomorrow to start recording. Charlie told me something the day he proposed to Katie.' Ginny nodded and Harry took a deep breath. 'I didn't want to mention it until I had to. I didn't want you getting upset again and this will definitely get you very upset and probably angry.' Ginny took her hand and put it to his face, he kissed her palm. 'Ginny, when Charlie and Katie went to Gringotts they went into the Leaky Cauldron and…' he took another deep breath trying to calm himself down so he could continue.
'It's okay Harry, just tell me, please.' Ginny said seeing that whatever Harry had to tell her was going to be very painful to her.
'Alright, when Charlie was in the Leaky Cauldron, that woman…the one I had in my room,' Harry felt and saw Ginny flinch, she pulled her hands out of his grasp and stood up. 'Ginny, please don't.'
'What about her Harry?' Ginny's voice was cold and hard.
'She went up to Charlie yelling at him, saying some things. I don't care Ginny, I just didn't want her to confront you. God I'm sorry for all this. I didn't want this to come up again.' Harry stood up in front of her, he took her face. 'Ginny look at me, please. It's over, and it will never happen again, you know that.'
Ginny looked at Harry and he saw the hurt on her face. 'Did you enjoy fucking her Harry, did you like it.'
'No,' Harry yelled. 'no I didn't, you know why I did it,' his voice still raised. 'Now please can we forget this and just put it behind us.'
'How am I supposed to put this behind us Harry, when she could be there whenever we go out.' Ginny yelled at Harry.
Charlie was sitting on the couch listening to Ginny and Harry yell at each other. Liam told Charlie what they had said to Harry and the way he looked before he took Ginny out, and Charlie thought he knew what they were going to talk about. He told the band to stay there and keep rehearsing, that he'd see if everything was alright. He thought he would listen and wait and see if he needed to step in, when Katie came in and sat down next to him. She didn't say anything just held his hand while they listened to Harry and Ginny fight.
'Will they be alright Charlie?' Katie said looking very worried.
'I don't know, that's why I'm listening, just to see if I can do anything.' Charlie said still looking towards the room where he knew Harry and his sister were.
The shouting got louder and some things Ginny said were harsh but Charlie understood what she's going through. Then he heard a loud thud that sounded like Harry punching the wall before he swore, then stormed past them and out the door.
'Oh, shit,' Charlie said, looking between where Harry just stormed off and the room where Ginny was. 'I'm going to go see if Ginny's alright, why don't you tell the guys that maybe they should leave for today and we'll see them tomorrow.' she nodded and Charlie got up and walked into library. He found Ginny lying down on the couch crying. He walked over and sat beside her, pulling her into his arms letting her cry. 'It's alright Gin, you got past this.' he kept holding her until her tears dried off, and her cries died away. 'Are you alright now Gin.'
'No, but I will be, it's just that it brought it all back, how hurt I felt about what he did. Ahhhhhhhh,' she stood up and started pacing around the room.
Charlie sat there watching her, letting her get out her frustrations. He saw the hole in the wall where Harry punched it and knew Harry's hand was probably a mess right now, but he decided to stay with his sister until she calmed down, then he would go see Harry. After a while, Ginny's pacing stopped and she looked at Charlie.
'You feel better now?' he asked her getting up and walking over to her.
'Yeah, I'm alright Charlie. I just don't want to talk to him at the moment, but could you go and see if he's okay, he must have hurt his hand again.'
Charlie put a hand to her face. 'Sure Gin, I'll be back soon.' he gave her a kiss on the cheek and left the room. Charlie walked into the sitting room and saw Katie sitting there. 'I'm going to go check on Harry, do you want to stay here in case Ginny might want a woman to talk to.' she nodded and Charlie went to her and kissed her, then walked out to find Harry.
Charlie found him sitting on the sand staring out at the water. 'Harry, are you alright?' Charlie asked sitting down next to him.
'Yeah Charlie, I'm fine. I had to tell her about what you said, about her confronting you in the Leaky cauldron. If we go through there tomorrow and she's there I didn't want Ginny to get a shock if she decided to do it again.' Harry got up and started pacing, then slammed his other fist into a tree. He looked down at his hands, they were both bleeding badly and he knew they were broken again, 'Great, that all I need right now.'
Charlie got up and looked at his hands. 'Come inside Harry, poppy left me some potions just in case you might need them.' Harry nodded and walked back to the house with Charlie. He took Harry straight into the kitchen and gave him the vials of potion. 'Now you know what Poppy said, if you keep doing that you're going to have some permanent damage. I think I should call her just to check your hands to make sure you haven't.' Charlie said to Harry, but Harry just sat there not saying anything. Charlie walked into the sitting room and saw Katie sitting there with Ginny. 'I'm going to get Poppy to get her to check Harry's hands again.' Charlie said walking over to the fireplace.
Katie saw Ginny looking towards the kitchen. 'Do you want to go in and talk to him Ginny?' she asked softly.
Ginny shook her head. 'Not right now, I can't, I'd just yell at him again.'
A few minutes later Poppy stepped into the room and Charlie pointed to the kitchen, she smiled at Ginny then went to see Harry.
'Let me see them Harry,' he lifted his hand and she took one looking at it and waved her wand then she looked at the other doing the same. 'Harry, I warned you about this.'
'I gave him the potions you left for him, but I still thought you needed to check.' Charlie said.
'Harry, what am I going to do with you? Well you are not going to be able to use them for a least a week, maybe two, if you do use them before that, they won't heal right. I'm leaving some more potions for you. Have one every day for a week, then I'll come back and check on them.' she shook her head as Harry didn't even look up.
'Thanks Poppy,' Harry sighed, then he got up and walked out into his shed.
'What happened this time?' Poppy asked Charlie.
'Just an argument poppy, nothing to serious,' Charlie said looking towards where Harry went.
'Well I might as well see Ginny while I'm here.' Poppy said and walked back into the sitting room and she sat next to Ginny. She saw Katie. 'Hello Miss O'Connell, it's been a long time.'
'Yes it has Madame Pomfrey, it's nice to see you again.' Katie said. 'I'll let you talk to Ginny.' she nodded and got up and went over to Charlie.
'How is he Poppy, is he's hands going to be alright?' Ginny said.
'They will be but this time it's going to be a while before he could use them properly again, I've told him he can't use them for at least a week, maybe two. He really needs to stop doing that Ginny, I don't think he's hands will handle too much more damage.'
'I know, we had a fight, he punched the wall again and stormed out. I'll try to keep him from doing it again.'
'Anyway, since I'm here, how are you doing?'
While Poppy and Ginny sat talking, Charlie took Katie into the kitchen. 'How's Harry's hands Charlie?' she asked him.
'Well he's damaged them again, and it's going to take time to heal this time, so I don't think he's going to be able to play as you rehearse for a while. Will that hurt your rehearsals?'
'Not really, I mean he can still sing, and I can back him on the piano, so it won't be too bad. What happened Charlie, Ginny wouldn't say?'
Charlie pulled her up and sat her down on his lap. 'Harry told Ginny about that woman that confronted me in the Leaky Cauldron. He thought she would be better prepared if he mentioned it just in case she was there tomorrow when we pass through.'
'No wonder Ginny's upset, is there anything we can do?' Katie said snuggling into Charlie.
'No, we just have to be here in case they need to talk. They'll work it out, don't worry,' he pulled Katie's face up and started kissing her very passionately. They heard a cough from behind them, they looked around. 'Sorry Poppy.' Charlie lifted Katie off his lap and standing up.
'That's fine Charlie, and I see you're with the lovely Miss O'Connell here.' Poppy smiled.
'Not only with, Poppy, but engaged,' Charlie said lifting Katie's hand.
Poppy looked very surprised, then walked over to them. 'That is wonderful Charlie, you too Katie.' she hugged them both. 'Now I better get back to Hogwarts, please try and keep Harry from hitting anything again.'
'I'll try Poppy, but you know what he's temper is like, especially when he thinks something or someone will hurt Ginny.'
'Yes, I'm all too aware. Just see what you can do, well I have to go.' she nodded to them and went back to the fireplace.
After she left, Katie turned to Charlie again. 'Do you want to go and check on Harry again Charlie, just to see how he is.'
'Okay, I'll be back.' he kissed her and walked to the shed and saw Harry sitting at the piano, staring down at him, 'Harry, you doing okay mate?'
'Yeah Charlie, I just realised that I won't be able to play for a while.'
'You need to stop doing that Harry, I know when you're mad you want to hit and a wall is better than anything else, but you have to stop it. Poppy is really worried that if you keep going to going to damage them, permanently Harry. You like to play don't you?' Harry nodded. 'Well if you keep going you won't be able to anymore, so cut it out.' Charlie snapped angrily.
Harry looked up at him. 'I know Charlie, but she just wouldn't listen to me.' Harry's anger was getting to him again but this time he started to pace. 'I know she's hurt about it and she also knows I didn't mean it.'
'Harry, I'm worried, are you alright?' Charlie asked looking at Harry as he paced.
'Yeah, I'm not going to have a drink, I won't do that again.'
'That's all I needed to hear,' Ginny said standing in the doorway.
Harry turned and saw her standing there with tears flowing down her face. Harry walked over to her and she threw her arms around him holding him tightly.
Charlie slipped out of the room and went into the sitting room with Katie. 'How are they?'
'Their fine,' he smiled at her, Charlie heard the door close to the shed. 'Their better than fine, they're going to make it,' he had a worried look on his face.
'You still look worried, what about?'
'I'm worried about tomorrow, if she happens to be there, how Ginny will handle it. I might get Mark and William to come with us, they will be able to keep everyone away from Harry and Ginny,' he saw the quizzical look on Katie's face, 'There the two aurors who were assigned here for a while, when Harry and Ginny first lost the baby. Kingsley didn't want anyone coming here to upset them, and they came to care for Harry and Ginny while they were here.'
'That might be a good idea Charlie, I didn't know Harry had a temper like that, but I would hate to see what he might do if Ginny got upset.'
'Yeah, that's one of the things I'm worried about too, I think I will contact Kingsley, I'll be right back.' Charlie got up and went to the fireplace.
Katie watched him speaking, then he came back over to her. 'He's going to have Mark and William come here to escort us in. They will be here at 9:30 in the morning.' Charlie felt instantly better.' 'I know they won't be able to stop Harry if he gets angry, but at least they can keep people away, aurors are very imposing people.'
'What do you mean they wouldn't be able to stop Harry, their aurors.'
Charlie looked at her and smiled. 'You remember when I told you about the night in the great hall, when Harry grabbed that girl,' Katie nodded, 'Well two aurors tried to make him let her go, he just waved his hand and sent them flying. Harry is very powerful Katie, and if he thinks someone will hurt Ginny, he will use that power.' he bent his head and kissed her, 'It'll be fine, Mark and William know all about Harry, and with all of us as well, we'll keep him under control.'
'I wouldn't like to see anyone get hurt Charlie.'
'No one will, Harry won't hurt any of us, he protect us if need be and that's all.' Charlie smiled at her. 'Come on let's head into the bedroom for a while until dinner.' Katie nodded and Charlie swopped her up and carried her into his bedroom.
The next morning Charlie was sitting at the table eating breakfast with Katie, when William and Mark arrived.
'Morning Charlie,' they both said.
'Morning, William, Mark, thanks for doing this, I really appreciate it.' Charlie said getting up and shaking their hands.
'Not a problem Charlie, and who is this lovely lady you're sitting with?' Mark asked.
'Oh sorry, Mark, William, this is my fiancée Katie,' Charlie said then looked at Katie. 'Katie this is Mark and William, the two aurors I was telling you about.'
'It's a pleasure to meet you both,' Katie said shaking both their hands.
'Our pleasure,' they both said and sat down at the table with the two of them, Kreacher brought them over some tea bowing to the two aurors. 'Thanks Kreacher,' Mark said then turned to Charlie, 'Do you think there will be a problem Charlie?'
'I don't know, I'm hoping their won't be. Katie's band members are meeting us at the Leaky Cauldron, so I'm hoping if we surround Harry and Ginny, and hopefully with two aurors present will make everyone let us pass without a problem.'
'Well, let's hope that's enough.' William said drinking his tear.
Harry and Ginny walked into the kitchen and both stopped looking surprised at the two aurors.
'Not that I'm not glad to see you both, but what are you doing here?' Harry asked shaking both their hands.
'Charlie asked Kingsley to send us to escort to through the Leaky Cauldron, just in case.' Mark said looking at Harry, then Ginny. 'Morning Ginny, how are you this morning?'
'I'm fine Mark, and I really glad you're here, both of you.' she looked at Harry. 'We better eat before we get going.' Harry nodded and the both of them sat down and got some breakfast, talking to the aurors.
When everyone was finished, 'Everyone ready to go?' Charlie asked, everyone nodded, but he noticed that both Harry and Ginny looked a little apprehensive. 'Alright, let's move.'
They all left the house and made their way through the wards, they looked at each other than apparated to the laneway near the Leaky Cauldron, then made their way to the door, but Charlie stopped.
'Katie why don't you go get the others and bring them out here, the more we can surround Harry and Ginny the better.' she nodded and walked in. Charlie looked at Harry and Ginny and saw Harry had his arms around her, staring into her eyes. 'You'll be alright, no one will come near either of you.' Harry nodded but didn't look away from Ginny. Katie and the three members of the Phoenix Flames came out. 'Hi, we want to keep Harry and Ginny out of view as much as possible, so if me and Katie go in with you and Harry and Ginny in the middle of us and the two aurors in the rear.' everyone nodded. Charlie turned back to Harry and Ginny. 'You ready?' they both nodded. 'Alright then, let's go.
The group walked in and instantly stepped around Harry and Ginny, they waved to Tom but kept heading towards the back. The woman got up and made her way straight for Harry. Charlie, Katie, Liam, John, Patrick, Mark and William all surrounded Harry and Ginny, with the two aurors in front standing there looking menacing.
The woman looked at everyone. 'I'd like to speak with Harry if you don't mind.'
'Well I do mind,' Ginny said and stepped towards her, through the two aurors.
Harry went to go to her but Charlie put a hand on his shoulder. 'Let her do this Harry,' Harry nodded, but they both looked worried.
'This has nothing to do with you, this is between me and Harry,' the woman said. 'Who are you anyway?'
'I'm Harry's wife,' Ginny said in a very calm voice, 'and you are going to stay away from him.'
'Like hell I am,' the woman said angrily.
'Yes you are, you bitch,' then Ginny punched her in the face and she fell backwards. Everyone standing around Harry looked shocked then started laughing. Harry went over to Ginny and pulled her into his arms.
'Are you alright, Gin?' Harry asked looking very worried.
'Yeah, I'm fine Harry, well my hand hurts, but apart from that I'm fine. Now I know why you punch walls when you get angry, it makes you feel better.' she smiled at Harry.
Harry picked up her hand and kissed it, then pulled her face towards him and kissed her very tenderly.
'You are the most wonderful person I've ever known, do you know that Mrs. Potter, and I love you so much.' Ginny wrapped her arms around his and pulled him to her kissing him fiercely.
Tom had come over and dragged the woman out telling her she was not welcome anymore. Then came back and he waited until Ginny and Harry were finished before speaking to them.
'I'm sorry about that Harry, Ginny, I didn't see her there or I would have got her out long ago.'
'It's not a problem Tom, my wife took care of her,' Harry said proudly looking at his wife. 'Well we better get going,' Harry shook Tom's hand and everyone made their way through the pub and out into Diagon Alley.
Charlie noticed that Harry and Ginny were both smiling at each other as they walked along with everyone. He knew now with absolute confidence, that they will be alright.
