Chapter 7: Dealing with consequences
A/N: Once I start mentioning future Harry and past Harry the future one will be in italics and also any other future characters.
Recap:
Before they could say anything else they heard a small voice "Where am I?"
"Hello Harry," said Remus politely moving to sit near Harry.
"Who are you? How do you know my name?" asked Harry in the most adorable voice.
"I'm a friend of your dad's I'm sorry I couldn't get you earlier due to some circumstances but now you are safe, even though we need to get your custody from your aunt and uncle and I don't think that would be a problem... If you want to go back it's completely fine but maybe you could stay here for a while an figure out if you want to go back"
Teddy looked at his father in awe it was one thing to hear from everyone how amazing his father was and how much they were alike and completely another to witness it first hand. Fortunately or unfortunately his parents were also very observant thus caught on to his behavior around them even though they didn't say anything.
"Well that definitely clears up where you get your talent from Ted," mocked Fred
"What talent?" asked Ron not catching on to the tension in the room which most of them recognized.
"Nothing special just the spot on thinking uncle Ron," said James
"Mum what is going on?" asked a small voice beside Harry.
"Bill why don't you take Ginny outside and explain her everything" suggested teddy before someone would say something and spoil everything.
"Come on Gin we are going for a fly," said Bill cheerfully
As Ginny never got to fly she left happily with Bill just when everyone thought their biggest problem has been solved they were proved wrong.
"What are they flying?" asked Harry
"Airplanes... ya airplanes," said Albus quickly
"Who are you?" asked Harry as he saw the boy he felt like he was looking in the mirror.
"I'm Albus..." said Albus trailing off unsure of what to say next.
"Black" intervened Lily saving Albus "he is my brother Albus black, I'm Lily black and this is my elder brother James Black," she said pointing at James in the end.
"Ok. Can I play with an airplane?" asked Harry and no one had replied for it as they knew of Harry's childhood so they turned to Teddy for help.
"Sure but how about you go and freshen up and we could play after that," said Teddy and signaled Remus to take Harry and thankfully he understood.
The actual problem started when Harry actually came out to fly an airplane which teddy had successfully transformed and even explained everyone how to act twice even then there were so many slips just during the first hour that they decided to actually have brunch instead of breakfast as they had forgotten about it due the whole mess created.
The way everyone was trying to delay the time would have been pretty comical if the situation wasn't this serious. They took a whole hour to finish the breakfast in hopes that the kids wouldn't ask any questions but unfortunately the luck wasn't on their side.
"Do I have to go back to my aunt and uncle?" asked Harry and before they could do some damage control it was Ginny who spoke.
"Why will you go back to your aunt's place? Where are your parents?" asked Ginny the silence that covered burrow was so surprising but there was something even more surprising the voice which spoke in a cold tone.
"They are dead"
Teddy was the first one to break out of shock and as soon as he got up and hugged future Harry.
"OMG, you found us, thank Merlin... " Teddy shut up once he realized that even though Harry had returned the hug he was quite stiff.
"Harry..." said Hermione coming in "oh... hello everyone, everyone's safe right Ted?"
"Yeah everyone one is fine," said Teddy looking at Harry who in turn was busy looking at Remus, Tonks, and Fred.
"I'm sorry if we are imposing Molly given that we already know how much of a difficult time it was for you all," said Harry breaking out of his stupor.
"What are you talking about Harry? You are family and what could be better at a time like this knowing that my whole family is safe and happy" replied Mrs. Weasley at that a look of hurt passed through Harry's eye's which he luckily concealed before anyone saw it.
"Of course," said Harry
And with a wave of wand Harry turned Harry and Ginny back to normal.
"Wasn't getting everyone back in time enough for you guys that you decided to go around pranking?" asked Harry dryly.
"It wasn't meant for you it was for uncle Fred and George," said Louis
"What do you mean it was for us?" asked George narrowing his eyes.
"Well we wanted to show that we were a lot better pranksters than you guys," said James
"And pranking you parents was the best idea you guys got, seriously," said Fred
"It was a mistake," said FredII trying to defend them.
"How are we getting back mom?" asked Rose before the argument could go on any further.
"By using the same spell you used to come here but the only performed once 12hrs, so we have to wait for another 12hrs, I hope it's fine Arthur and Molly?" asked Hermione again.
"Of course, like Molly said you are family," said Mr. Weasley
"Dad why isn't mom and uncle Ron with you?" asked Lily
"Because they don't know anything about what happened yet" replied Harry
"WHAT, WHY DON'T WE KNOW?" asked both Ron and Ginny together.
"And I thought we escaped her anger" muttered Harry and only Teddy and Hermione heard.
"Ginny you just left last night to cover a match in Germany and Ron is the reason we found out they were missing... we had to go to work but being the amazing friend you are you said you will handle it and left immediately, so that is why you two don't know" informed Harry
"So mom doesn't know?" asked James a bit hesitant at this Harry finally grinned.
"Don't worry kids we won't tell you anything but when you get back be prepared to face Ginny, Angelina, and Fleur," said Harry while everyone laughed James, FredII, and Louis got really pale.
"Am I that scary Harry?" asked Ginny innocently.
"Of course not Ginny" reassured Harry
"Harry... Harry can you hear me" said a voice which sounded much like the twins but they didn't say a word surprisingly.
A/N: I know this is a short chap but I thought something is better than nothing... So can anyone guess who's voice is it?
