Authors Note: This is my LONGEST CHAPTER YET! 2,061 WORDS!
Kreacher, there very old house-elf, was standing at the door. Albus had stopped in the middle of the door way. Kreacher was trying to take Albus broom that Albus hadn't even realized he was holding. He must have walked all the way back home with a broom in his hand. Albus let Kreacher take his broom away and Albus walked inside. Instinctively he walked straight up to his room. 'Just some peace and quite, that's all' Albus thought to himself. He was hoping that he could open his door, but his parents might have magically locked it. Nope it was unlocked. Thanks Gosh. Albus stepped in and sat in the darkest corner he saw. He put his head in his knees and threw his hands over his head.
"Why I do that? I cant believe I let Scorpius talk me into letting him over here! Then he got me to blame my father and uncle for cursing us. I'm a bad person!"
"You're not a bad person." A voice had said. Albus was sure it was just in his head.
"YES I AM! I ran away from home twice and it would have been 3 times if I hadn't been imperioused into coming back home!"
"You would never had ran away a third time, I know you wouldn't have."
"YES I WOULD HAVE!" Albus kinda realized how pointless it was to fight with himself, so he just brought up another thing that was bugging him. "Anyway I can't even apologies to anyone for the way I acted. I wouldn't even know what to say."
"I could help you with that."
"How, you're me, and I have just established that I don't know how to say it!"
The voice in his head laughed. "Is that what you think, no wonder you never bothered to look up!"
"Of course you're in my head" Albus really couldn't believe he was having this conversation with himself, he was going mad!
"Albus, try looking up." Albus looked up, expecting t see his room the way he had seen it when he walked in. But there was a person in there.
"AUNTIE LUNA!" Albus jumped up in surprise.
Luna laughed again. "Course its me, I just answered everything you said. You did know you where saying them aloud, right?"
"I really thought I was say the stuff in my head."
"So anyway there's a simple and easy way of apologizing."
MEANWHILE/ DOWNSTAIRS IN THE DINING ROOM
It looked like Ginny and Harry hadn't slept all night. There where bags under there eyes, and there where also about 20 coffee mugs in front of them. Harry and Ginny didn't hear it, but Kreacher ran over to the door. A few seconds later Kreacher slide the door open a bit.
"Master Harry, Mister Ronald Weasley and Mrs. Hermione Weasley would like to come in-"
"Just let them in Kreacher." Harry was annoyed at how Kreacher always had to ask for permission before letting someone in. Harry thinks that Ginny's still afraid of a Death Eater coming up to the door. Ron and Hermione had looked just as tired as Harry and Ginny.
"News?" Harry asked. He had asked them to go and look for Albus yesterday and they never returned.
"Good or bad, mate?" Ron asked
"Good," Said Ginny, they wanted some good news, for once.
"We found Albus." Hermione had said, but she wasn't smile she was wearing it was a kind of worried look.
"The bad news is that he looked Impirused." Ron quickly said.
"WHAT!" Both Harry and Ginny exclaimed.
"Neville" Hermione said, pointing out the window. And sure enough a second later the door bell rang.
"Just let him in Kreacher" Harry said, wanting to hear some news about if Hannah or Neville found Albus. Neville came running in, gasping.
"ALBUS-SCORPIUS-FINE!" Harry figured Neville must have ran here.
"Kreacher can you bring Neville some water?" Harry Ordered/Requested.
"Yes Master." Kreacher walked out and entered with a glass of water a few seconds later and gave it to Neville.
"Thank you Kreacher." Neville said. "Anyway, Albus and Scorpius checked into the Leaky Cauldron last night."
"WHY DIDN'T YOU GUYS CATCH THEM THEN?" Harry yelled, it would have saved them a lot of work.
"Goyle's the night manger, plus Hannah couldn't have been there because we where looking for Albus too. And the boys check in under a different name."
"What was it?" Asked Ron.
"Albus was uhhh Lysander Lovegood."
"BUT THAT'S SUCH AN OBVIOUS NAME!" Hermione exclaimed.
"I know, and Scorpius checked in as a Caspian Black."
"Is Goyle really that stupid not to realize there are no Blacks left?" Ron growled.
"Yes Goyle is that stupid, anyway continue Neville." Ginny said.
"Well when Hannah came over to work at 9, she had about 1,000 complaints about the room the boys where in. Before Hannah had walked in she had heard the boys talking about Unforgivable Curses but didn't think much of it. When she saw them she called for me to come into the room and when I did Scorpius said things, bad things, and Albus agreed."
"What was it Neville?" Asked Ginny.
"It was well- nothing." Neville knew Harry to well; he knew it would kill Harry if he heard it.
"Neville," Ginny sighed "Don't make me get out the Veritaserum" Neville knew it was an empty threat, because he has heard the younger Potters talking about there parents threatening to use it on them. But figured to tell them.
"Well Hannah had told Albus that you where worried about him and Scorpius butted in saying that well- they-didn't-give-a-rats-poop-about-you" Neville had said the last part fast hoping that no one would understand, but they understood. Harry's face totally fell. Ginny put her arm around Harry.
"Ron," Ginny said "you said Albus got imprused, how could you know?"
"Well," Hermione started "we saw him flying back, but it was very unfocused, and super slow."
"Do you know who Imperised him?" Ginny asked, She looked around the table, Neville was looking funny, almost guilty, and of course.
"Guilty," Neville said. Harry looked up at Neville, Harry looked like he was about to kill Neville. So Neville hurried on. "It wasn't actually me, me and Hannah had placed guards at all the exits so if they tried to escape then the guards would Imperious them to go home, and the spell was to lift as soon as they stepped inside the house."
"Sorry to interrupt Master, but young Master Potter has just landed shall I let him in?" Kreacher said.
"Yes Kreacher go ahead and let Albus in, take his broom and let him go where ever he wants." Ginny answered, because Harry was still in shock at what Albus had said. Kreacher walked out and there heard Albus come in. When Kreacher re-opened the door to come in, they all heard Albus saying,
"Just some peace and quite." So they let him roam freely. Harry mumbled something about fresh air and left, but the others where in full conversation now.
"Its so weird not hearing the kids running around" Hermione sighed. The kids where in fact at The Burrow with Teddy, Victoire, Molly and Arthur Weasley.
"I know, I keep expecting to see James and Lily running in here fighting." Ginny said.
"I hope mum's ok with all the brats over there" Ron said kind of worried.
"Ron, Mum and Dad raised seven of us. I think having 2 extra adults and 5 extra kids wont be much different, if not a relief." Said Ginny.
"I got to go now guys" Neville said looking at his watch. "I'll talk to you guys soon" Neville said then Apperated out.
"Ron?" Ginny started "Don't you and Hermione have to be at work?"
Ron looked at his watch, and jumped in surprise, "WE DO!"
"What about Harry?" Hermione asked.
"Just tell Kingsley he's taking a personal day." Ginny replied "Kingsley should understand."
"He will," Hermione said "Well see you soon Ginny."
"Bye Gin" Ron said then Hermione and Ron Apperated out. Ginny sighed. A few seconds later Albus walked into the Dining Room. Ginny saw him and jumped up, bringing him into a bone crushing hug.
"ALBUS! YOU'RE OK! WE WHERE SO WORRRIED ABOUT YOU!"
"MUM IM FINE CAN YOU LET GO! I CANT BREATH!" Albus gasped.
"Sure, Oh Al we where all so worried about you."
"Even dad?"
"Especially Dad"
"Where's dad anyway?" Albus said looking around for him. He was listing all the things, in his head, Luna told Albus to tell his dad. First the Curse, then the James punching him, Finally the Leaky Cauldron. Albus guessed his face must have looked a little worried, because his mom asked.
"You ok Al? Something on your mind?
"Im fine-ish, and tons"
"Want to talk?"
"Lu- I have got to talk to dad."
"Luna was up there wasn't she?" Albus figured he owed his mum some of the truth.
"Yes" Albus sighed.
"I understand, come on, let's go and find your father." Albus and Ginny walked out to the back yard. There, Albus saw, was his father flying.
"Is something wrong with dad?" Albus asked looking up at his dad.
"Yes Al, there is something wrong" Neville must have been here, Albus thought.
"Mum, by any chance was Longbottom here?" There is only 1 reason Albus would call Neville, Longbottom, and that would be if he was pissed at him.
"Yes he was here, and he told us everything that had happened at the Leaky Cauldron."
"Everything?" That was good and bad. Good because that's one less painful thing to do, but bad because that was the one Albus really needed to explain to his father the most.
"Yes Al, everything" Ginny said, and then waved Harry down. Harry came down but didn't even look at Albus.
"Yes Honey?" Harry said in false politeness.
"Our son is back" Ginny said, Harry glared at Albus.
"I know I saw Kreacher with his broom." Harry said really stubbornly.
"So that's how I got home" Albus whispered.
"What was that kid?" Kid, yep Harry was ticked off at Albus, that was his father's way of saying 'I have nothing to say to you'. Ginny glared at Harry.
"Harry, Albus needs to talk to you" Harry just looked at Ginny. Albus tried for about 5 minutes to explain but his father kept ignoring him. So Albus just stalked off to his room.
Authors Note: So this is one of my better chapters, as I said its my longest chapter :D I'm kinda trying to show 2 things 1)Albus dosnt like blaming his self about things he did, and 2) Harry and Albus right now have a pretty hard relationship, its kinda where there just mad at each other :D REVIEW PLEZ!
