Chapter Four; A Gift of Love
Thanks for the new favorite and follow, here's the next chapter!
Harry heaved a heavy sigh as he hunched over the railing and reached down to gently stroke Cobalt's face. "Hey stranger, I'm surprised that you're still here." Hermione began as Harry turned his head over to look at her. "I thought that you would already be out for a ride by now." She said while smiling warmly at him.
"I really blew it Hermione. I lost my temper. I basically just threw everything I believed in out the window. Some Christian I turned out to be." He told her.
"You're right Harry, you're a Christian. You're not Christ Himself. Nobody expects you to be perfect." She told him with a shake of her head. "Aren't you always saying that that's the whole entire reason that Jesus came anyway? To save us from our sins so that we can be reconciled with Him?" she inquired.
"Yes but He's not the one I'm worried about." He told her with a shake of his head.
"Listen to me Harry, Ron's your best friend and Ginny's the love of your life. Just apologize to them and trust that they will forgive you." She said.
"I don't think they will. Not after the way I acted." He told her.
"Well then not only are they false Christians but they're not really your friends. You've been best friends with Ron ever since you were a little younger than the twins. Do you really want to throw that all away over a stupid song?" she asked him.
"No. I just wish there was a way that I could go back in time and change what happened, but now that you don't have your time turner anymore_" he began.
"You don't need a time turner Harry all you need to do is say the magic words. And they are the same words that you said before you became a Christian, and the same words that became the reason why you're going to go to Heaven someday and be reunited with your mother." She said before she leaned her head close to him and placed her hand on top of his back. "I'm sorry." She told him as he glanced back up into her eyes knowing that she was right.
….
"I still don't get why you brought us here." Ron grouched as he, Ginny, and Eve waited out in front of the stable with Hermione.
"I already told you, Harry has something that he wants to say to you." She told him.
"Oh yeah? Well it better be good!" he exclaimed as he folded his arms and glared while Harry's Ferrari pulled inside the gravel parking lot before a few moments later he parked it and got out of it quickly hurrying over to them.
"Ron, I realize you're mad at me but I've really got to talk to you." He told him.
"Well go ahead talk then, I'm listening." He muttered under his breath still glaring at him.
"Look, I just wanted to tell you both how sorry I am for the way I acted. I didn't mean it at all. I should have encouraged you instead of ripping you apart." He told Ron before glancing over at his girlfriend. "And Ginny I shouldn't have yelled at you and listened to you when you tried telling me that I was being too bossy.
It's just that I wanted everything to be perfect for our first show and I got completely out of control. I know it's asking a lot but I really am sorry and I love you both more than you will ever know. Could you ever possibly forgive me?" he asked them as Ginny smiled at him before glancing over her shoulder at Ron and then back at him.
"Well I can't speak for Ron, but of course I forgive you Harry." She told him as Harry and Ron exchanged looks.
"Ron, will you please give me another chance?" he asked him.
"Of course mate, brothers fight." He told him.
"So then we're still brothers?" Harry questioned as he reached out his hand and offered it to him for him to shake.
"Brothers." He agreed before grabbing his hand and pulling him into a tight brotherly hug while Hermione and Ginny smiled at them as they watched them.
"Uh hullo? This is all touching and stuff but,.. remember me?" Eve inquired while the two wizards finished patting each other's shoulders and then broke apart and looked at her.
"Don't worry, I haven't forgotten about you." Harry told her smiling warmly down at her. "C'mon Eve, I have somebody that I want you to meet." He told her before leading her inside and over to one of the stalls a crossed from his own horse while other horses whinnied in the background. Inside was beautiful chestnut colored mare with a yellow mane and tail. Eve say hullo to your new horse." He told her.
"What!? She's mine!?" she exclaimed excitedly. "She's really, really mine!?" she cried as Harry laughed and nodded at her.
"Yep, I got her just for you since I know how much you've wanted a horse ever since you could talk." He told her before she threw her arms around him and embraced him tightly.
"Oh Harry thank you! I love you! What's her name?" she asked him.
"Willow, but you can change it if you want to." He told her as she looked in on her new horse and smiled at her before slowly reaching out her hand and stroking her.
"I think that since everyone is now back in peace and harmony with each other that's exactly what I'll call her. Yep, I think Harmony is a beautiful name and well suited for such a beautiful horse like her." She said as Harry continued smiling at her.
"Alright Harmony it is then." Harry said as Ron grinned at her.
"Well Eve, you finally got your horse." He told her.
"Hullo Harmony, hullo girl." Eve whispered while continuing to stroke her.
