Chapter 4
** Author Note: Sorry that this took so long to post I didn't get a chance to begin writing this until I was on spring break. I hope that you all enjoy this chapter and story. As you all know none of this is mine except the plot, I am not making any money from this and never will be yata yata yata.
"Umm… Sirius who was that outside?" Harry asked quickly and Sirius looked just as the Death Eater walked into the classroom where Harry, Sirius, and his parents were.
"HELP ME" somebody in the room screamed.
"Who said that?" Harry yelled back even though he could tell by the voice that it was Ginny. He just wanted to hear her voice again, he needed to hear her voice again and find out where she was.
"Harry, help me, it's Ginny." Ginny screamed back at Harry
By this time Harry's parents were also getting scared. They knew there was nothing they could do to help their son, Sirius, or Ginny Weasley. They were forced by the rules to just sit back and hope that everything would be all right. Dumbledore had told them that they were not under any circumstances allowed to do any magic or change the way something was to occur.
Harry was fighting to find his way to Ginny, he didn't want anything to happen to her. There was this feeling inside him that he couldn't explain, he realized that she wasn't just his best friends little sister. She meant more to him, especially since she had done all of this for him.
"Ginny," Harry yelled when he saw her. " What happened?" Harry questioned after looking around.
"There was a death eater who was trying to torture me into telling him where you were when he saw Dumbledore coming and he ran." Ginny explain pointing to Dumbledore.
Harry, Dumbledore, and Ginny all were thinking about how the Death Eater had gotten into the castle. But this wasn't the only thing that Harry was thinking about. Harry was also thinking about his parents and of Ginny Weasley.
"Sir, can I go back to my parents and Sirius? Can we talk about this later?" Harry asked quietly.
"Oh, Oh of course I forgot that your parents were still here. Remember you only have till 5pm tonight." Dumbledore stated
"Gin, I can't thank you enough for what you have done for me, I will talk to you later in the common room. I need to spend all the time I have left with my parents." Harry said to Ginny
Ginny told him that was cool and she would see him later, then she turned and went back to the Gryffindor common room, after talking to Dumbledore for a few moments and after eating a piece of chocolate.
As she was walking back to the common room she saw Peeves who immediately began to question why she was not in her dorm. She told him to bug off and go bother someone else. She was confused about how the death eater got into the school.
When she got back into her room Hermione rushed over to her.
"Ginny, where were you I was worried." Hermione said
"Herm, I wasn't gone that long, chill. I just went to see Harry and his parents, but a Death Eater came. No big deal." Ginny said sarcastically
"Oh my gosh what happened? Where was the Death Eater? How did he get into Hogwarts? How did you know who he was?" Hermione listed off all the questions she could before Ginny interrupted.
"He was trying to force me to tell him where Harry was, as soon as he saw Dumbledore he fled. I am not sure why he fled or how he got into the school in the first place. But it's kinda obvious who he was since I see the same people everyday and I didn't know him plus he had a very small dark mark symbol on his robes."
"I am so sorry that I didn't go with you. I wonder how he could have gotten in though…" Hermione rambled on.
"Herm, could we please change the subject I don't really want to talk about it." Ginny said quietly.
" Yeah sure, but can you talk to your brother, he is being a ass to me."
"What is he doing now, you do still care about him don't you? Did you tell him yet?" Ginny asked quickly.
"Well, yes of course I still care about him, and umm… no I haven't said anything to him yet. He well, he refuses to listen to me and I was trying to tell him how I feel. I was so upset I ran up here to wait for you." Hermione replied.
"I'm sorry I wasn't here, I will go knock some sense into my stupid brother right after classes end." Ginny said as she laughed.
Ginny then left her room with Hermione to head out of the common room to class. Ginny was heading to Potions with Snape, and Hermione and Rom were going to Care of Magical Creatures with Hagrid.
1 In Potions
Ginny sat down in her potions seat just as Snape walked into the room. They were instructed to brew their favorite potion they remembered from the previous year with no help from their books. At the end of class their potion would be tested and either they passed or they failed.
Ginny had decided to make a potion that was not supposed to be tested on humans just to be safe. She decided to make the potion that put pixies to sleep in hopes that Snape wouldn't make the effort to go find pixies. She began to think about the ingredients in the potion and was drawing a blank. She continued to think for a while, however, this was to her misfortune. Snape came by while she was sitting there just thinking, he took ten points from Gryffindor because Ginny wasn't doing anything at the time. Almost immediately she remember the ingredients and began to brew her potion.
Ginny completed a very complicated potion to put pixies to sleep. The pixies were the little creatures that when let out would go bouncing off the walls till they were captured again. Snape left to get some pixies because he decided that Ginny's would be one of the potions to be tested.
As it turned out Ginny's potion put the pixies to sleep but it was only after she got them to be still for a second to give it to. By the time it was time to leave the class Ginny was exhausted. Ginny was happy that class was over, she needed time to think about what had happened, she needed time where she didn't have to concentrate on this spell or that potion.
In Care of Magical Creature (at the same time as Ginny was in potions)
On the way out to their class Ron and Hermione began to talk. Hermione was glad they were talking even if it wasn't for a while. She didn't like it when Ron was being an ass.
"Hey so what's been up with you lately?" Hermione asked Ron
"I don't know what you mean there is nothing different with me." Ron said defensively.
"Come on, you know that's not true. You were blowing me off this morning, you don't do that, other people yes, you no." Hermione replied.
" I am sorry if I blew you off I really didn't mean too, I…I just had some stuff on my mind, alright." Ron said hotly.
"Ok, don't get mad or anything I am sorry to bring it up." Hermione said just as they got to class.
Almost as soon as class started the other people in the class noticed that Harry was not present and asked Hermione and Ron why. They said they were not quite sure why. Which they both knew was a lie.
Hermione had filled in Ron the night before when Ron asked her why Harry wasn't in the common room. Ron was very happy that his best friend was finally going to be able to meet his parents. Ron knew this was like a dream come true for him.
During the class Ron's mind began to wonder back to his thoughts, the same thoughts he was thinking that morning. Hermione could tell that he wasn't paying any attention to Hagrid who could also tell.
After class Hagrid pulled both Ron and Hermione aside to talk to them about Harry.
"Hermione, Ron I heard what you said about where 'Arry was. But where is he really I know you two know something." Hagrid said
"Alright, Ginny found a way for Harry's parents to come back for 24 hours. But we aren't supposed to spread this around school. Harry is with his parents 'til 5 tonight. Dumbledore gave him special permission to miss classes today for this occasion." Hermione explained
"Ahh… 'Arry deserves it. Good for him to see 'is parents" Hagrid said to them.
After their conversation with Hagrid they walked back up to their common room.
"Ron what were we talking about class today?" Hermione questioned
"Umm…Dragons…"Ron said quietly
"No we were talking about how a few years ago we had to deal with the Flobberworms." Hermione said
"Are you serious those things were so annoying!" Ron exclaimed
"No, but that's my point you weren't paying attention in class, you usually pay attention just out of respect for Hagrid. What's going on, I hate to bring it up again but come on it may help to talk about it." Hermione said to him.
"Listen I don't know how to talk about it with, with you." Ron said quietly
"Ron, what are you talking about every since our first year we have been friends and have talked everyday. With exception of the one time in our third year." Hermione said quickly
"It's just, no , I can't." Ron said as he walked quicker up to the common room. Hermione was not far behind him, but because he was a little over 6 feet and she was about 5-6 inches shorter she had to run in any hope to keep up.
When she got back to the common room she saw that Ginny was talking to Ron, so she just headed up to their room to wait for Ginny to come up. It was about fifteen minutes later when Ginny came up to their room.
"Ginny, what were you two talking about for so long? Is he ok, what's going on? Why can't he talk to me? Did you tell him about the Death Eater?" Hermione questioned quickly, it was really bugging Hermione that one of her best friends couldn't talk to her about something, Gods knows what.
" No I didn't tell him and I don't think you should either. I am really sorry but he told me what was wrong or what is bothering him. But if I tell you he will never trust me again." As soon as Ginny said this she saw Hermione's look of sadness fill her face. "However what kind of friend would I be if I didn't tell you." At this Hermione began to smile again. "He wants to tell you that he really likes you as more that a friend. He wants to ask you to be his first girlfriend." Ginny said quickly. "Now if you tell him that I told you I will be in big trouble, and then you will be in trouble with me the worst of all of us Weasleys."
Hermione laughed when Ginny said this. "Thanks Gin for telling me, I am going to have to tell him how I feel sometime soon, I just don't know how. It's hard to tell someone you have been good friends with for a while that you are falling in love with them."
"Did you umm…, just say that umm… you are falling in love with my brother?" Ginny questioned quickly
"Umm…yeah that's what I said and I mean it." Hermione said with her voice shaking.
"We should get going we need to get to lunch, we don't want to miss it I am starving." Ginny said excitedly
"Ok, let's go, Gin are you ok with this, I mean with me liking your brother a lot?" Hermione said
"Yea, its fine, you deserve to be happy and Ron deserves is some of the time." Ginny said while laughing a little bit."
The two of then talked all the way to lunch and then through lunch. Hermione helped Ginny about how she was feeling about the death eater. Even though nobody else noticed she was acting different Hermione did. After talking about it Ginny began to feel better about the whole situation. They were still talking about this and that when it was time for their next class.
Back to Harry
At this same time Harry was also eating a Hogwarts lunch but all to themselves. Harry and his parents had talked about just about everything there was to talk about. Harry had really gotten a chance to get to know his parents and get a sense of who there were. There was only one topic that none of them wanted to really get into. This was about the night that they died, the night that Voldemort tried to kill Harry but couldn't.
However, Harry needed to know why his mom died to save him, and he needed to know how. He needed to understand why everything that happened, happened. He ended up forcing himself to ask his parents about it, he needed to know.
"Harry well, the reason that Voldemort was after us was because we were two of the main people fighting against him. For his survival he thought he needed to kill us. With us gone he thought the others would also soon fall and then, he could dominate the Magical World." Harry's mom Lily said. "Before you were even born I looked up some stuff about how to protect someone you love. See I knew Voldemort would be after us, and you in turn, so I wanted to make sure that if I died that you would be safe. I found a spell called Ne Mourir Pas, you have to say the spell just after the person you want to protect is born, and the spell will only work if you are truly willing to give your life for theirs."
"Harry, your mother didn't tell me about the spell until after it was too late for me to also say the spell. She didn't want me to try and stop her from saying the spell, she knew I would have tried to say in myself." Harry's dad said
"Why would you want to do something like that for me you didn't even know me yet?" Harry asked.
His parents continued to explain everything that had happened that night and the previous days that led up to the attack.
Later on they began to talk about other topic and then the conversation switched completely to a new topic.
"Harry, who was the girl that did this for you?" Lily Potter asked
"Umm… her name is Ginny, she and I are good friends, why?" Harry answered.
"Well I was just wondering if you had any interest in her as more than a friend." James Potter asked
"No, she and I have been friends since my 5th year. She is my best friends little sister. What makes you think I would?" Harry responded
"Well just from the way that you reacted when you heard her screaming, and then the way you looked at her just before she left." Lily said
"I don' t know I have always just thought of her as a good friend or my best friends lil sis."
"Ok, if that's what you say. Just remember to keep an open mind about people." James said
They continued to talk until it was almost time for them to leave and go back to their own plane. James had given Harry secrets on where to find some of his old school tricks. James had left some of them in places around Hogwarts for his children to find when it was their time to go there. Lily had also given Harry some tips about Hogwarts, he realized that they weren't the perfect little angels he had thought they were in the beginning. At this he laughed.
Harry wished that his parents didn't have to go but he knew that they did. He tried his best to wrap things up and start to say his good-byes but it was hard for him. At the beginning of their time together he didn't know where to start and that's the same feeling that Harry had now. He didn't know how to say good-bye to his parents that he would never see again.
