Anhdara13 - I'm so flattered! You stayed up till 2am to read my story? My Sirius, that's so wonderful. I tried to make Molly as cannon as possible, do you think it worked? The overprotective mothering has always annoyed me. You assumed right, the scarf is here. I think I'll take a brake from anything new and focus on This Revolution and finish it and type my already started stories over the summer till I finish those. I want to focus on school for the next few weeks but I don't want this story to be over eitherL.

I'm so dang happy with myself, I passed all my finals and all my classes with A's and B's! Woo!
SCARFS, ALONE AND GOING DOWN
Harry sighed and creaked the door open further. He had to be extra careful with such an old house. After the conversation he and his friends had just a couple of hours ago he remembered something that Remus told him during his first nights stay at Grimmauld. As a gag gift Harry's father James, sent Sirius a very colorful, and… girly scarf for Sirius' sixteenth birthday. When Sirius ran-away he had left the scarf behind in the attic - which was where it resided for twenty years.
Until now.
After finding the previously mentioned, hideous scarf Harry retreated back into his room where Ginny was waiting for him to cut up some paper.
Most of the adults - sure that the teens activities were over for the day - had decided to take a relaxing in the lounge area. Remus and Sirius were playing exploding snap in the corner, Molly sat in an armchair next to Arthur reading Witch Weekly while he read a book, the rest of the order sat around in the sofas and armchairs discussing ordery stuff and reading magazines while drinking tea.
Molly, remembering something she saw that morning, closed her magazine and turned to face her husband. "Have you noticed anything weird going on with Harry and Ginny?"
He slowly nodded, noticing they had gathered the attention of their eldest sons, Remus and Sirius. "Yes, I thought saw, only for a moment, the two of them holding hands this morning."
Bill frowned at Charlie. Harry and Ginny had been working really hard to find the right time to tell her parents/ his godfather about their relationship and here Molly and Arthur were ruining it. Well, they silently decided, they'd just have to have Ginny and Harry push forward their performance.
Quickly, the two turned to the stair way, headed directly to Harry's new bedroom where they knew the Golden Trio and it's leader's girlfriend spent most of the day.
Molly'a eyes followed her sons. They were up to something, she knew it….
Harry and Ginny took the news with a grin. The group now had three acts to put on, but they looked forward to the challenge.
And as Hermione said, "Once we get that four part harmony out of the way, we can get to sorting."
Dumbledore, Minerva and Snape were about to leave when all the lights in the room turned off. The three of them felt their way back to their seats and resigned themselves for a moment of entertainment.
The spotlight came on. Sirius laughed.
George, looking like his Voldemort persona, stood off to the side. He held his 'wand' at his neck and was speaking to the room. "People of Hogwarts. It's me. Harry Potter is dead. He was killed while running away, trying to save himself while you layed down your lives for him. The battle is won. My death eaters out number you. Continue to resist and be slaughtered. Come out of the castle, kneel before me, and you may be spared." He ended with smacking the long stick on the ground and walked away.
Most everyone was staring at the place he just stood in shock, outrage, confusion and bemusement. Harry Potter dead? It wasn't something to joke about but by now everyone had caught on. Another stage performance.
With Harry dead.
That's why the confusion still lingered.
When all lights came back on, the kids lay in various poses on the carpet, Neville, as himself, was laying face down, Tonks as Malfoy rested on his back a few feet away and Ron stood in the middle.
"Ah shit, um okay." Ron said. Molly clucked disapprovingly. "Alright uh," he pointed to Fred. "you barricade the door. Go, do it now, with, uh, that bench. Go, go, do it. Do it right now." Fred stood and barricaded the new door surrounded by curtain with the mentioned bench that had not been there before. Most of the adults frowned at it in confusion others just shrugged and went along with it. "Uh, Bill, you, you see if Neville's dead." (he wasn't - Bill checked.) He pointed to George. "You go get snacks." He looked at the door. "Aw shit we barricaded the door. Me I will, I will quit." He continued to shift nervously. "There's only one thing we need to do, we're gonna fight."
Sirius cheered. That's the attitude!
Tonks groaned and rolled onto her stomach. "Come on, I'm tired. Can't we just be death eaters?"
Sirius chuckled. Like Tonks would ever say something like that.
"No, no we can't just be death eaters." Ron answered while walking over to her(him) and kicking them in the side.
Tonks responded by lifting her butt in the air and curling up.
Sirius and Remus laughed. Man she looked funny like that.
"We are gonna fight." He walked to the middle of the room where the rest were. "And we are gonna fight so hard, that we're gonna win." Ron took one look at those around him and began to sing to an almost war march song. "He thinks that were finished. He thinks that were done. He thinks that its over. His battle is won HA! He thinks that its finished, but we arent through.' He reached over and pulled Tonk's robe over Malfoy's butt. "Stop and think my friends. What would Harry do for you?"
Arthur and Albus nodded to themselves. Harry would go to the ends of the world and back for his friends. The least they could is return the favor.
While he was singing, Hermione had stood and walked over. With a confident voice, she began to almost preach to those around her - who were slowly starting to stand as well. "Harry never gave up the fight. Harry stood up for what is right. So now its our turn."
The two locked eyes and sang at once while the adults stared in awe. "Our turn." They grabbed hands. "Make a joyful sound. Voldemort is going down." They stomped with one foot on the first part and then made a down sign on 'down.'
The adults clapped and whistled. Ginny stood ran over to the other side of Ron as the rest - but Tonks - crowed behind them.
The three sang faster. "We must unite, so we can fight. Turn the battle around. Times running out. Its time to shout. Voldemort is going down." They repeated the same steps for the last line.
Again, the adults cheered. All, even Molly, were excited the youngers had taken such an out look on the whole situation. And suddenly, everything from the last few weeks became clear to Sirius and Remus and they felt their affection for the performs skyrocket. It truly was a plan of brilliance. Something, they themselves wished they had thought up. Grinning, they settled back to watch the show.
Hermione walked to stand in front of Tonks and sang to her. "Can't you feel a fire burning?" She put her hands on her face. "Now its time to be a man." She turned and faced the onlookers once more. A great big, muscley, super big, super hot man!"
Molly and Minerva chuckled. Go Hermione!
The whole group began to sing with passionate voices. "We wont be pushed around anymore. We'll be a force you cannot ignore. We'll be an army for Dumbledore. For Dumbledore!"
Albus blushed as the others cheered. The performers began marching.
"We must unite, so we can fight. Turn the battle around. Times running out. Its time to shout. Voldemort is going down!"
Suddenly, Harry was there and everyone gave large gasps of surprise. "Hey guys I'm alive! Guys, I know how to defeat Voldemort." He said this as he walked into the line up between Ron and Hermione. "Everybody follow me okay!"
The thought on everyone's minds was Merlin I hope so.
Sirius frowned. How'd he get through the bench-blocked door without moving the bench?
Everyone began again. "We must unite so we can fight. Turn the battle around! Times running out! Its time to shout! Voldemort is going. We must unite, so we can fight! Voldemort is going down!"
The song ended on a very dramatic note with much clapping and cheering.
The lights went back down, waited a few moments and then came back on. Harry was sitting on a stool, staring into his lap. Ginny stood behind him, a pleading look on her face.
"Don't you get it?" Harry told her. "It's hopeless. I'm all alone. Ginny, I'm all alone."
Sirius frowned, his mind going to a time back when he was still in Azkaban, how felt alone and realizing how alone Harry probably felt. He smiled, neither one of them were alone now. Molly smiled too. Harry wasn't alone, he had all of them.
"I've been alone, surrounded by darkness and I've seen how heartless
the world can be. And I've seen you crying," Harry reached under his glasses to remove a 'tear.' "You felt like its hopeless." She slowly reached out and put a hand on his shoulder. "I'll always do my best to make you see. That Harry, you're not alone," The adults all nodded to themselves. "Cause you're here with me and nothings ever gonna bring us down, cause nothing can keep me from lovin' you," Molly grinned, She finally admitted it! "and you know its true. It don't matter what'll come to be, our love is all we need to make it through." Ginny sang, while everyone stared, Our love?. HArry stood and moved to the center of the room, Ginny stared after him with a blazing look. "Now I know it ain't easy."
"No it aint easy." Harry sung-murmured back.
Ginny grined. "But it ain't hard trying."
"Its so hard trying" Ginny walked over to him, and held onto his cheek.
"Everytime I see you smiling," He smiled and moved away, but turned back and grabbed her hand. "And I feel you so close to me. Tell me." They grabbed each others hands and sung to each other.
"That baby you're not alone, cause you're here with me and nothings ever gonna bring us down. Cause nothing can keep me from lovin' you and you know its true. It don't matter what'll come to be, our love is all we need to make it through." The two smiled at each other through the whole thing.
The adults jaws were dropped. They sounded and looked wonderful together.
Harry pulled and away and walked off back to the stool. Ginny stared after him, confused. "Now I still have trouble. I trip and stumble, trying to make sense of things some times." Tonks whistled and Sirius. He sounded amazingly like a jazz singer. "I look for reasons but I don't need em all I need is to look in your eyes." He pointed to Ginny and Molly melted into a pleased smile. Harry climbed on top of his stool. "And I realize!"
More whistles.
"Hey Harry!" Ron 's voice came from the left. Ron and Hermione stood off to the left, hidden a little in the dark. Ron had a fake sword attached to his hip that earned him many weird looks.
"You guys came back." Harry whispered before he and Ginny rushed over. Ginny and Ron hugged while Harry and Hermione did and then the girls hugged while the guys did. The four of them sang together.
"Baby you're not alone, cause you're here with me and nothings ever gonna bring us down." The four of them got into a half circle. "Cause nothing can keep me from lovin' you and you know its true. It don't matter what'll come to be. Our love is all we need to make it through."
"Cause it don't matter what'll come to be," Harry sang to them.
"Our love is all we need," The four broke off.
"To make it," Ron sang while his hand moved snake liked to the middle of the half circle, while he made the a vowel come out wavey like.
"To make it," Hermione placed her hand on top of his while she held out her vowel.
"To make it," Ginny did the same, only her notes were higher, more pop sounding.
"To make it," Harry finished, placing his hand on the pile.
"Through." They finished with raising their hand pile in the air and doing spirit fingers.
Everyone clapped.
Molly pulled Ginny to sit with her. "Why didn't you tell me you two are together?"
Ginny shrugged. "We wanted our own secret for a while."
Molly chuckled and pulled her into a hug.
Sirius, meanwhile, had pulled his godson down into his own hug and left his arm hanging around Harry's shoulders. "So you and Ginny huh?"
Harry nodded sheepishly, staring at the carpet.
"Well, what took so long! I've been waiting for this announcement ever since I met her! She's perfect for you!"
Harry grinned and re-hugged him. "Thanks Padfoot."
"Harry," Remus inserted. "We figured it out."
He looked up confused.
"Why you're doing this." Harry's mouthed formed and 'o' shape.
"And we wanna help." Sirius told him with a grin.
Harry's eyes drifted over to the twins, then his lips curved into a smirk reminiscent of his late father. "I think there is something you can do. But I can't tell you." He stood up quickly and pulled Ginny from the room while beckoning to his fellow teens who shrugged to each other and followed.
About and hour later, everyone but the newly announced couple was sitting around the living room again. While no one out of the loop, including Sirius and Remus, weren't paying attention, Ginny and Harry sneaked in and set up their next performance.
After a couple of minutes standing there, Ginny coughed loudly, getting everyone's attention focused on her. \
The jaws that belonged to those outta the loop fell to the floor at the picture they found.
In her hands was a blue, red, yellow and green scarf with purple tassels. Ginny held it delicately, as one would with a statue of their religion founder.
"It is now time for the sorting." She declared. "I hold in my hands, the scarf of sexual preference."
Sirius snorted, Remus choked on his drink, Snape's jaw dropped, and nearly everyone else almost fell out of their chairs. The in on it members and teens merely grinned and beamed like they were finally meeting their cult leader.
"He will announce… well, your sexual preference."
"Thus his name." Harry announced from the other side of the stool he leaned on and where he held a scroll. He cleared his throat, stood straight and gazed down at the parchment. "We will go alphabetically."
Sirius tensed, ready move and take his turn.
"Ron Weasley." Harry called.
"What-?" McGonagall spluttered. "But he doesn't go first."
Harry raised an eyebrow. "He doesn't if we're doing this your way. I never said we were starting from A."
His teacher continued to stare incredulously at him. He continued to gazed back with his one eyebrow raised.
Ron stood and walked calmly to his sister, obviously anticipated the outcome of his… 'sorting.'
Ginny grinned and dropped the scarf around his neck whilst simultaneously pulling a piece of paper from her sleeve, obvious in what she was doing. Loudly she read off what was printed on the card. "Bi-curious! Next!"
"George Weasley!" Harry called in a TV host voice.
The two repeated the same process with the rest of the Weasleys, (Natural sexual - Fred, George and Ginny herself, bi-curious - Charlie and married - Bill and Tonks/Harry - natural sexual).
Harry got to a name after his own, paused, looked up at Mad-eye, closed it and said. "Remus Lupin."
The werewolf sighed and walked over to the two teens. Both of whom had a sparkle in their eyes that reminded him of Harry's dad when James was pulling a prank. Ginny quickly threw the scarf over his shoulders and pulled another card out of her sleeve. "Pink haired. Next!"
His jaw dropped. What? "What is that supposed to mean!" He screeched at Ginny.
She shrugged. "I don't know. The scarf said it not me."
"But - you - you and the card - but…." He took a look at her face, Harry's expression and sat back down at the table, burrying his face in his hands.
After the 'scarf' declared Neville a natural sexual, the two carried on to Kingsley who was also declared a natural sexual.
Soon after the 'scarf' announced Hermione as "waiting for marriage." and Dumbledore as "flamboyant." (Sirius got some faking coughing done during that one.)
Sirius got called up last. Excluding of course, Snape, McGonagall and Mad-eye plus the Weasley patrons. Before she put the scarf on him, Ginny quickly took out all her cards and promptly dumped them on the floor. Spinning back to face her boyfriend's godfather, she grinned and flunged the piece of yarn around his neck, announcing "Poodle!" as soon as it landed.
Tonks burst into a laughed, even Snape chuckled, though Remus stayed frozen, staring at the wall.
This is how the grinning teens left their family while they went up stairs to plan their next performance.
