Chapter 6

"What the fuck was that all about?" Harry heard as soon as he walked through the portrait gauarding the Gryffindor House. He hadn't even entered the common room fully before Ron was barreling down at him. There was almost the whole house in the room as if they too wanted to know what was going on. Harry wasn't surprised.

"Calm down, Ron." Was all Harry said as he made his way over to a chair. Harry had a feeling he was about to be yelled at again so he sank down and tried to get comfortable. The silence lasted all of thirty blissful seconds before Ron started yelling again.

"Don't tell me to calm down. I was just humiliated in front of the whole school by my best friend." Ron spat the last two words at him. Again he was beginning to remind Harry of his Uncle Vernon.

"Look. I'm not the one who was calling you gay. Nor was I the one insinuating that my best friend was being a man whore. But I was defending a friend who can't do it for herself since she is currently in a coma fighting for her own life. All because someone and we don't know who, cursed her with something that is designed to slowly break a person down. If anyone has the right to be mad at the moment it is NOT you. AND if you want any answers then sit down and shut up so I can talk calmly instead of having to yell over you." Harry was so mad that his magic was beginning to crackle around him. His voice was only slightly louder than when he first started talking but it was more the effect of his instinctual magic that had everyone (Ron included) immediately sitting down.

After a moment Harry called for Winky and asked for a cup of tea to be brought to him. He had a strong feeling that he would need it. Harry surveyed the room as he drank his tea. All of the older students where in the room along with most of the lower classmates. They all where waiting for answers. Some more patiently than others. Harry realized he would have to do this in sets. He took few minutes to drink his tea and think about what he wanted to say and what needed to be not said. Once he was done, he set the tea cup down and sat up a bit straighter.

"Now, I know you all want answers but I must ask that the upper classmates hold their questions for last. There are just some aspects of this that can't be explained until a bit later." He held up his hand to forestall some of the protests. "You will get answers just please trust me on this. Now, Hermione as some of you know, or heard, has been cursed. This means she will be acting a bit out of character for her and that yes at times she can not control her body. So if you have a question about her behavior, please as a teacher or an upper classmate who knows her. That being said, we do not currently know who cast the spell or who is continuing it. For all we know, it can be one of us in this room. Now I would normally disagree with that statement, but since the war, I am paranoid about everyone. So, please don't take it personal." He waited for them to nod or acknowledge their understanding. "Now I want to address two of the rumors that is floating around. 1) Yes, Hermione is my sister. During the last autumn equinox, Hermione and I did a blood binding ceremony for siblings. It made us siblings through the magic in our blood. That means, should anything happen to me Hermione is my next of kin, and vice versa. 2) No Hermione is not a whore." Harry looked directly at Ron as he said this. "Hermione is still a virgin and I know this cause I have been with her all summer. Unlock most of the people who fought in the war she did not join in with the "oh god we could have died so let's live it up" lifestyle that most of you have taken up. She had other things to do and it's not my place to tell you what. But know that I helped her do them. Now the thing about Malfoy is that he is the only student here and is one of the two people not in Azkaban who know about this curse. So for now he is helping the teachers find a way to either break the curse or find the person who cast it on her. Any questions?" Harry looked at the younger students as he asked.

"Will she be okay?" One of the first years asked timidly.

"Martha right?" Harry asked her. She shock that he knew her name was all over her face. He didn't need the nod to know he was right. "We really do not know. She is stable for now. But has yet to wake up."

"Why?" She asked with tears in her eyes.

Harry smiled tinderly at the young girl. This was why he still had hope for the world. This is why he fought so hard against the evil in the world.

"A lot of her magic got drained as part of her the curse. If you would like...any of you. I will take any get well/miss you cards and gifts to her. She is still on limited visitors until she is more magically stable."

"Thank you… Harry." Martha smiled sadly again.

Harry made a mental note to talk to the girl at a later time. "Any other questions?"

After they shook their heads, he told them to please leave and let the older students talk. All the students from fifth year down knew that meant they needed to leave. Harry watched them go before casting a muffilo spell to make sure there was no eavesdropping, a few repellant charms and a privacy bubble just in case. After knowing Fred and George, he wanted to cover all his bases.

"What the fuck, Harry?" Ron asked as soon as Harry was done. "Since when do we listen to Malfoy?!"

"Since the curse was created by his father and mother, and since he was the one who just saved her life."

"And how do you know that he isn't the cause of all of this? How do you know he isn't the one who cast it on her?" Ron shouted at him.

Harry was losing patience in his friend. He knew he was protective of Hermione but this was beginning to go too far. "Because this has been going on since before we even got here, it started a few months before we came back into the country."

"So, doesn't mean he didn't follow you and cast it while you were gone."

"Ron, listen to you; Like Malfoy would take that much time in effort into going after her." Harry was beginningging to get really angry again.

"He would if he wanted to kill her. He's been after her for years. 'You'll be next mudblood.' Do you not remember that?"

"That was 6 years ago Ron. People change especially when faced with the alternative. Besides, Hermione saved his ass from going to Azkaban. So I highly doubt it was Draco." Harry was shouting back at Ron by this point. He was getting tired of Ron's stubbornness.

"And since when is it Draco? How do we know that you aren't under a cure as well?" Ron was shouting so loud that it broke the silencing ward.

"Since him and I both decided that we should work together to save Hermione. Why are you trying to dictate every part of her life?"

"I'm not!"

"You are! Ever since you found out that we became siblings you have been dictating who she can even hang out with. I could understand the boys to a point who want to date her but for merlin's sake Ron, she can choose for herself."

"Which you didn't even consult me first!" Ron was shouting so loud that Harry could see a few teachers running in and the younger students coming back down.

"It's my life! I didn't have to! Just like I didn't have to tell you about wanting to marry Ginny; Just like its none of your business who either one of us is with. All this started because I am marring your sister, but that doesn't mean you can dictate my sister's life!"

"And had you not done that I would still be with her!" Ron huffed out.

"So that is what this is all about?" Harry looked at Ron in shock. He shook as his head as he made a decision. This was going to end right now. "My sister is in the med wing dying because of a curse that only three people in the whole world knows about and you're throwing a fit because she choose to have a family?"

"She has me! I was her family before this!"

"Ronald Weasley…" Harry's voice became deadly quiet and very serious. He magic swirled around the room as if a sudden wind came through an ipen wi dow. "I am only going to say this once. So listen real good. If you ever go near my sister again…"

"You'll what?" Ron spat.

Harry's magic changed to shooting off cracks of lighting as he advanced toward Ron. "I will make sure you will never produce a single child. And if you ever and I mean ever hurt her…. I will make Voldemort look like an angel. Do I make myself clear?"

"Perfectly!" Ron turned and stomped up the stairs.

"Harry?" Ginny said softly.

Harry reached out and pulled her into a hug. Instantly his magic calmed down a bit. "Thank you Ginny." He mumbled into her hair. The room stood silently watching as Harry's magic tried to settle back down.

A few moments later all of Harry's stuff came barreling down the dormitory steps. They were followed shortly by a strangled hoot as Harry's owl was thrown as well. He had bought a new one just this year and to see her treated like that made Harry's magic flare out.

Harry felt Ginny kiss his cheek, trying to keep him clam bjt this time it wasn't working. "He's not worth it Harry."

"Mr. Potter…"

Harry turned to see both Professors McGonagall and Dumbledore standing in the entrance way to the common room.

"…it looks like you can use a place to stay for the night."

"Yes ma'am." Harry walked over and gathered his stuff up and stroked his owl.

"Ms. Weasley, can you please take Harry's stuff up to your room for the night. He will be staying in the infirmary with his sister."

"Yes ma'am." Ginny grabbed out the few things Harry would need for the night and tomorrow morning then took the rest up to her room. A few of the other girls from her dorm helped her.

"The rest of you…" Aberforth said roughly. "Off to bed."

Harry followed McGonagall out of the common room and off to the med wing. His magic was still flaring out of him. He knew he wouldn't be able to sleep for a while unless he calmed down. He had a feeling that he would be helped with that however.

And….

He was right. Promfrey gave him a calming draught and a sleeping draught. Harry's last thought was that this would be all over the school by morning. He just hoped Draco was more successful than he was.
