So Far So Great 3
Holly awoke on a different bed in a different room this time. Wait that can't be right they killed me didn't they? Just then she heard a shuffle from beside her bed she was about ready to jump up and scream when the person beat her to it.
"Oh thank Merlin you are okay. You've been out for awhile now, I was starting to worry you had really hurt yourself or something. But you're okay and that's all that matters." The person heaved a huge sigh of relief and fell back into the chair now that the immediate threat was over.
"Let me go Harry or I swear to you, you will wish my dad killed you instead of me." Holly replied in a deadly calm voice but on the inside wondering why the hell he cared about her.
"Listen Holly no one is going to kill anyone. You passed out and we freaked so we took you here. But I swear no one has any intention of hurting you." He said hoping she would believe him because if she did maybe her dad wouldn't kill him.
"I don't know you so, sorry for not believing you. You knocked me out and brought me back here so I'm really not in the mood to believe you." Or not. Yeah he was dead man.
"Holly we didn't knock you out the stress got to you and you passed out again. But your dad is on his way over here so you'll be able to leave here. But please don't move you really did a number to your ankle and we haven't got a healer yet to fix it. So just continue to lie down and everything will be okay. Man this got way out of hand. Just so you know I don't believe Remus either about us being siblings so we should be good on that." He really was hoping she would eventually believe him, he wasn't a bad guy, and in fact he fought bad guys. But this seemed to put him in the same category as them and it made him feel dirty, he didn't like it.
"Whatever, I just want to go home." And with that her stomach gave a small rumble of hunger. She looked down with a blush on her face.
"And apparently you want food so I'm going to go get you something, anything you want tell me and I'll get it." Harry said hoping she would trust him and let him get her something to eat so she wouldn't starve.
"I want pancakes. Silly I know but I want blueberry pancakes with maple syrup. If that's ok?" She asked she was really hungry and she just had to believe he wasn't going to poison her.
"Yeah not a problem. I'll be right back." He said and went off to get her, her food. Not even thirty seconds after he left she heard a knock on the door.
"Can I come in?" A female voice asked from the other side, one she recognized.
"Yeah come on in Hermione." She wondered why they knocked and asked for permission when clearly she was the prisoner. Hermione opened the door and walked in and turned around to shut it and lock it behind her.
"Boys, they don't know the meaning of the word privacy or how to treat a female. I'm really sorry they scared you Holly." Hermione said while walking over to set on the bed next to Holly. "When I pulled you away from the ticket lady you said you were going to Godric's Hollow. I went to get Remus because he's the only person who knew anyone from there. See Harry's parents were from there but considering their dead and Harry was baby when they died, Remus was the logical person to ask because he was Harry's father's best friend. I had no idea all this was going to happen. None of them meant to scare you I swear they just panicked because and I'm not lying magic does exist and everyone here is a witch or wizard and the only people who live in Godrics Hollow are witches and wizards. Please you have to believe me."Hermione begged at Holly.
"I do." Was the simple reply from Holly. Hermione's head shot up and looked at Holly to see if she was telling the truth or not. With the look from Hermione, Holly decided she needed to explain a little bit more. "I believe you because I can do things I don't know if you would call them spells or not but I can do things. Sometimes when I touch things I can see a flash of something either the past or the future depending on the even that relates to the item I'm touching. And when I get angry things tend to blow up around me so I try not to get angry. And other things like that. Me and dad thought it might have something to do with my real birth parents so we decided that if I kept my grades up and stayed out of trouble I could spend the summer looking for them. And I did just that, and here I am."Just then there was knock on the door.
"Can I come in?" Harry's voice called out from the other side.
"Yeah come on in Harry." Holly called out to him.
"Yeah I would love to but seeing as the door is locked and I can't walk through walls you're going to have to unlock it for me besides I have food for us including you Hermione, to eat." Harry called back to them with his lovely sarcastic comment. Hermione and Holly both rolled their eyes and started laughing, Hermione got up and unlocked the door for Harry while still laughing at him. Harry rolled his eyes at them. He would never understand the female brain and frankly he didn't want to.
"You can't walk through walls Harry? Wow that is such a disappointment; I thought you were cooler than that." Holly said with mock disappointment. With that all three started to laugh. Hermione shut the door and locked it again before climbing back onto the bed and all three joined into the destruction of the pancakes.
"So what have you two ladies been discussing while I was slaving over this delicious food?" Harry said after swallowing his first bite of the food. Both girls looked at him then each other before deciding that he was cool enough for their discussion.
"I explained everything I could to her about us, something that males don't know how to do. And she explained some things to me." Hermione replied before picking up another piece of her pancake and dipping it in her syrup. "Oh my Harry is this butterscotch? How did you know I was up here and this was my favorite?"Hermione asked kindly while digging into her pancake once again.
"What kind of best friend would I be if I didn't know your favorite syrup? A bad one that's what. And you are the only one who knows to lock doors in this place. And your kind enough to help her out." He simply replied to her as if that was no big deal. Hermione smiled at him and reached over to give him a kiss on the cheek. Holly watched all of this with a smirk on her face.
"So when were you two going to tell the others that you two are in love with each other?" She asked while holding in her laughter that was about ready to explode. After all in her mind they were really cute together. Both Harry and Hermione looked at her as if she had grown an extra head.
"What in the world are you talking about?" Hermione asked her.
"We're not dating remember I'm dating Ginny or as you like to call her Red? Why would you think we were going out?" Harry asked her wondering if maybe she had fallen and hit her head.
"Oh nothing, never mind. Forget I said anything." Holly said while in her mind scheming like a mad dog. This was going to be good. Oh crap I have to call off the hounds.
"Harry I need my phone I need to call off the dogs." She told him urgently if she knew her dad and she did then he already called in the cavalry and was on a warpath. Harry looked at her weirdly but decided to just go with what she said rather than question her.
"Here it is." He said while handing her cell phone.
"Taylor."
"Dad. Thank goodness, stand down I repeat stand down." Holly said into the phone laughing at the look Harry and Hermione gave her. She mouthed to them she would explain it to them later.
"Honey are you sure?" Mac asked into the phone because wasn't she hysterical a few hours ago.
"Yes dad I'm sure. I fainted twice because of my overactive imagination. You always said it was going to get me in trouble and here it did. But let's just say that we were right and I'm defiantly in the right place. It's cool dad if anything should happen I'll let you know." Holly said thankful she got to him before something drastic happened.
"What do you think is going to happen?" Mac asked into the phone on high alert again.
"Nothing dad, except for me maybe over eating cause Harry these are really good pancakes. I was just saying dad I don't think anything is going to happen. Listen when I check into the hotel I'll video conference you on my laptop. But I really need to explain some things to them so I'll talk to you tonight. Bye dad I love you." Holly replied into the phone. That could have ended badly.
"Ok fine but I want to see you tonight do you hear me young lady." Mac said into the phone just thankful he didn't have to use the plan. At least not yet.
"Yes, sir. I love you dad." Holly replied.
"Love you too sweetie. I'll be waiting." He said before hanging up. Holly then hung up the phone. She looked at the others sheepishly.
"Sorry about him. It's been me and him since mom died. And let's just say he has gotten a little over protective. But he means well. So aren't we supposed to be talking and going over things or something?" Holly asked trying to change the subject.
"Yeah but we can wait until the healer gets here so she can heal your ankle. Then we can talk and be awake for it." He told with a smirk on his face. Noticing the look he was getting from her.
"Oh very funny. It's alright I just won't put any weight on it. Trust me I've had worse. Like get this, this one time I went surfing on the north shore in Hawaii and while I was surfing the pike this wave broke on me and I totally wiped out. I shattered all the bones in my entire right leg. I was in physical training for like a year. In fact I just got finished with it like a year ago. So trust me this is nothing. Now let's go downstairs and talk so I can go check in at a hotel." She said while standing up and not putting any weight on it even though she was still in her tall boots. Oh yeah she was a pro.
"Well at least lean on Hermione and I will take our dishes into the kitchen." Harry said even though he was totally against it. In his opinion she should be resting but wait did she say the pike? Holy crap what couldn't she do. "Did you just say the pike? As in professional surfing and major deaths?" He really needed to really get to know her.
"Yeah the pike and no it wasn't professional for me it was just the thrill. I'm a thrill seeker; I'm like an adrenaline junkie. But that's for another time. I want to get this talk over and done with so I can go to the hotel and take some aspirin and sleep. Oh, wait I think I have some in my purse. Hermione can you hand me my purse please?" Hermione handed her the purse and Holly got the aspirin out and dry swallowed them. Both gave her a look.
"Trust me as much stuff as I have done to myself dry swallowing is easy as pie. So let's get the show on the road." With that said Holly unlocked the door and walked out like a pro although the stairs looked like they were going to be a problem. But thankfully Hermione helped her without even saying anything. Once down the stairs they followed Harry into the kitchen where everyone was sitting at. 'Now that is a lot of red.' She thought to herself before sitting down at the table. Her ankle was still hurting and she really didn't feel like standing on it anymore than she had to. Harry put the dishes in the sink and sat down next to Holly.
"Alright Remus start talking." Harry was all business right now. Holly looked over at him surprised at the way he just handled that.
"Alright hold on Harry let's do introductions first then I will tell all that I know about this. First everyone this is Holly." Holly gave a small smile and little wave looking around at everyone. Everyone smiled and waved back although for some it was forced.
"I'm Arthur Weasley and this is my wife Molly." A man around 40 said. He had red hair that was starting to gray in places but it was his genuine attitude that made Holly trust him. She could tell he was a good person. His wife looked to be the same age and with the same hair. Holly could tell that Mrs. Weasley was confused if not a little wary of herself. Gothics probably were not heard of around her. So Holly wasn't going to hold that against her.
"This is my daughter Ginny you met at the train station." Holly smiled at her yeah she remembered her, this was the girl who for some strange reason hated her upon site. But that didn't mean Holly didn't envy her. She watched Mr. Weasley and Ginny and she wished her daddy was here with her. Oh how she missed him.
"I'm Gerd and this here is my brother Forge." Two twin brothers said as they sat down opposite her. First thing that came to her mind was Hot second was did they really think she couldn't figure that out.
"So what you mean to say is you're George and your Fred." She said while pointing at them respectively. Then laughed at the look on their face. They couldn't believe she had figured it out.
"Ahh uh yes and this here is my youngest son Ron." Mr. Weasley said while trying to figure out how she knew about Fred and George. He looked over at Harry and Hermione to see if they had told her but they were giving her an amused look. Ron wasn't quite sure what to make her but she seemed pretty cool so he was just going to go with the flow.
"We'll it's a pleasure to meet you all. But Remus can we get on with this I still have to check into my hotel." Holly said sincerely she really didn't want to offend anyone.
"Of course. You two were born in a time of war you have to understand that it's what every decision they made about you two came down to. I can't go into all the details because it's not time yet and neither one of you are prepared for this. But it was safer if no one knew about you Holly. They separated you two, to protect you both. It killed both of you parents to have to give you up, but if it meant you were safe and you had a chance of growing up happy and healthy then that was all that mattered to them. And for now, that is all I can say the rest will come out in time." Remus looked so sad that Holly couldn't ask him to go on so she hoped what she said next was enough comfort.
"The toughest job on this planet is being a parent. I have always believed that everything happens for a reason. So when it's time for the rest of the story to be known it will happen. I would love to stay and talk guys but I have to get to the hotel and check in." She was starting to get her stuff together when Hermione put her hand on her arm to stop her.
"Where are you staying so we can drop you off and where we can meet tomorrow?" Hermione asked her.
"Oh I texted a cab they should be here by now. We can meet at Big Ben if you want I always wanted to see that and now I can. Yes!" She was so excited that she missed the amused looks everyone was throwing at her.
"Well here take my number and call me when you get there so we know you got there ok and when to meet tomorrow." Hermione gave her a piece of paper that had her name on it.
Everyone was talking and laughing and joking outside when the cab finally came to pick her up. Fred helped her put her things in the back of the cab and they kept talking the entire time. He kept asking her questions about New York and about her clothes and just different things. Finally they were done and she went around saying goodbye to everyone giving the people she felt comfortable with a hug. Then she got to Fred the one who kept questioning her. He was nice and seemed to be truly genuine.
"My hero. Thanks sugar." She kissed him on the cheek and winked at him when he started to blush some. Everyone laughed and she said bye once more before getting into the cab. She gave one last wave and then the cab drove off to the hotel. She watched as everyone walked up the stairs and then disappeared.
"I love magic." She said to no one in particular with a smile on her face.
