This was one of my fave chapters to write, it follows straight on from the last one

"How are you, Harry? I've missed you, Harry. Harry will be in good hands," mimicked Ginny.

She had gone upstairs and checked on the children, then gotten Rose's potion and administered it. In no hurry to return downstairs, she gently rubbed hand lotion into Rose's hands, all the while letting out her feelings.

"Ugh, you should have seen her, Rose. Clinging to him like a, like a...parasite. That's it, she's a gnat!" scowled Ginny. "Nat the gnat."She cackled at her own cleverness, then sighed.

"Why am I letting this get to me? So Harry had a relationship with her. He's allowed, right? I mean, it's been seven years since we saw each other, four of which he was locked away. But her? She's just so...I don't know. What's wrong with me? I'm happy for him that he wasn't alone. I am, honestly. I have Jamie and he has the Gnat."

She paused as she heard feminine laughter drift up the stairs and made her grit her teeth. "I just don't see them together. She reminds me a bit of one of his other exes, Cho Chang. Just the way she was clinging to him and all. Like she couldn't keep her hands off him. Harry was embarrassed, I could tell. He's more private with things like that. I mean, except for the time he kissed me in front of the entire Gryffindor common room. Did he ever tell you about that, Rose? I was completely surprised, I just-"

Ginny jumped as a hand covered her own, and Rose let out a moan. Her eyes fluttered open, and as she focused on Ginny, she appeared scared and let out a cry and tried to pull away.

"Rose, Rose, my name is Ginny,"said Ginny.

Rose stopped pulling away and looked carefully at Ginny. "G-Ginny? Harry's Ginny?" she asked weakly.

Ginny nodded, ingnoring the small thrill she got at the mention of her being Harry's. "Yes, Ginny Weasley. You're safe, at my family home, the Burrow."

Rose looked surprised. "In England? Ruby! How's my baby?" she asked urgently.

Ginny patted her hand."She's here and she's fine. She's a beautiful, bright little girl. Thank you for trusting me with her."

Rose nodded. "And Harry? My brother, is he here too?"

"Yes, he's downstairs with some of the American Aurors who have been helping him look for you. How are you feeling?" asked Ginny.

"Tired...and sore," she winced as she tried to sit up. Ginny helped her, and handed her a glass of water.

"You were very dehydrated when they brought you here. You've been asleep for several days. A healer has been checking on you every day, and we've been giving you Replenishing potions around the clock," said Ginny.

"Thank you," said Rose, leaning back against the pillows.

"I should go and let Harry know you're awake, and I'll call the healer to let him know too," said Ginny.

"Ginny, please, will you get my baby? I want to see her so much," begged Rose.

"Of course. Nothing will heal you more than a hug from Ruby," smiled Ginny. She left Rose and went to find Ruby. She was colouring on the floor of Teddy's room, while he was reading more comics.

"Ruby, sweetie, can you come with me for a minute,"said Ginny.

Ruby put down her markers and stood up, taking Ginny's hand. She looked up to Ginny as they walked towards the room her mummy was in. "Are we gonna bwush Mummy's hair again, Ginny?"

"Maybe. Why don't you ask her if she'd like that," smiled Ginny as she opened the door.

"Ruby, baby!" cried Rose, weakly, as soon as she saw her little girl in the doorway.

"Mummy!" cried Ruby, running to the bed and throwing herself into her mother's open arms. "You woked up!"

"Yes, baby girl, I did," said Rose happily, raining kisses all over Ruby's face, making Ruby laugh.

"Are you all better, Mummy?" asked Ruby.

"Better now that I've seen you, Sweetpea,"said Rose, with tears in her eyes.

"Me, 'n Ginny, 'n Papa, 'n Nebil have been looking after you, Mummy. Nebil makes you special potions, and me 'n Ginny bwush your hair. Papa keeps us all safe," said Ruby. "Teddy too."

"Who's Neville and Teddy?" asked Rose to Ginny.

"Neville is the healer who's been looking after you. He's a friend of mine and Harry's from our Hogwart's days. Teddy is my adopted son, Teddy Lupin. He and Ruby have become good friends," explained Ginny.

"Aha,"agreed Ruby, "and me 'n Teddy fly together, and Mummy, we are at the Buwwow, and it's just like Papa said, it's the bestest place in the world!"

Ginny laughed. "I'll give you girls some alone time. I'll go and tell Harry you're awake, so he'll probably be up in seconds. I'll owl Neville too." She went out and shut the door.

She popped her head in to Teddy's room. "Hey Mum, what's happening? What did you want Ruby for?"he asked curiously.

"Her mother is awake. Rose just woke up. Ruby will probably want to stay close to her most of the day. I'm just going to go and tell Harry, and send an owl to Neville. Want to fly later, just you and me?" Teddy nodded excitedly, and Ginny left him.

She went downstairs, surprised to find it empty. Well, almost. The two male Aurors had gone, but Harry and Natalie were standing by the fireplace, very close. Harry had his back to her, but Natalie saw Ginny coming. She kissed Harry on the cheek, and whispered loudly, "Remember, room seven at the Leaky. I'll be waiting." Ginny' fists clenched.

She pulled away from Harry and called out to Ginny. "Nice to meet you, Ginny. I'll leave Harry with you...for now." With that, and a trimphant look at Ginny as Harry spun around to face her, Natalie went into the fireplace, threw down some floo powder and called out "Leaky Cauldron." As the flames flared up, she disappeared.

"It's not what you think," said Harry quickly.

"Oh? And what do you think I'm thinking, Harry?" asked Ginny, nonchalantly. She put the kettle on, thinking Neville might like a cup when he got there. She looked in the drawers for some parchment.

"You think that I'm going to...that she and I...I mean, damnit, I'm not going to her room, Ginny," said Harry.

Ginny shrugged. "You can if you want. I'm here with the kids, and now Rose is awake, there are two adults here."

Harry banged his hand on the kitchen counter. "I don't want to go to her room, all right? I don't-wait, did you just say Rose is awake?" he asked excitedly.

Ginny nodded. "Just a few minutes ago. Ruby is with her, and I'm going to owl Neville. I daresay he's going to want to come and check her out."

Harry breathed out a sigh of relief. "How is she?"

"She seems good. Tired and sore, but better when she saw Ruby. It's amazing how much a child changes your life,"said Ginny.

"I thought Teddy was Jamie, and that he was my son, our son,"said Harry, hurriedly.

"What?" asked Ginny.

"When I heard you had a son, and I heard the name Jamie, I thought he was ours, from, you know, that night. I thought you had named him after my Dad," said Harry.

"Oh," said Ginny. So that's why he had been so surprised to meet Jamie. It was the name, that's all.

"I have to admit, when I realised it was Teddy, I felt a bit sad that we didn't have a child. We never used the contraception potion that night," said Harry.

"I know," said Ginny softly. She turned away to search for more parchment, not that she could see much with the tears in her eyes. "So, if you wanted to go and visit your...friend anytime, it's fine. Just so you know," said Ginny.

"Did you look at her, Ginny? Did you really see her, Ginny?"demanded Harry, suddenly angry.

"I saw the way she couldn't keep her hands off you. I never really thought you were the type for PDA's, Harry. I always thought of you as more of a private person. I guess people change, though,"said Ginny, finding some parchment and now looking for a quill.

Harry slammed the drawer shut and Ginny yelped as she narrowly missed having her fingers chopped off. "Red hair, freckles, brown eyes. Sound familiar, Gin? Do I really have to spell it out?"

Ginny shrugged. "So we have some similar features. You obviously have a type of woman you like."

Harry grabbed her hands to stop her from walking away. "She reminded me of you. Strong, independent. She wanted me, and I...I took what she offered, hoping her looks could fool me into thinking it was you. But it never did. She never laughed like you, teased me like you. Kissed me like you. Smelled like you."

Ginny pulled away. "Again with the smell? Jeez Harry, I'll leave you my shampoo and body lotion, and you can smell like me too. Better yet, take it to bloody room seven and let the Gnat use it. Then she'll be the complete package,"cried Ginny.

Harry pulled her back to him. "I was lonely, all right. She wanted me, and I wanted her to be you. I'm not proud of that, but I can't change the past."

Ginny looked into pleading green eyes. "I'm not asking you too, and I understand, Harry. Merlin, it's been seven years. I-I'm glad she was there for you, like, like Jamie was there for me. Is there," she quickly amended.

Harry shook his head. "She was a replacement, and I hated my self for using her that way."

"Well, Jamie isn't like you at all," said Ginny. She was suddenly aware that she was in his arms; his hands on her waist.

"I noticed," said Harry, dryly. "Tall, muscular, handsome. Me, I'm a specky, sprawny git."

"Don't say that. You're still handsome, you just need some fattening up," protested Ginny.

"You think I'm handsome," said Harry.

"Sure, if you like specky, sprawny gits," grinned Ginny.

"Do you?" asked Harry, his eyes on her lips.

"Do I what?" asked Ginny, her eyes lost in his dreamy green ones.

Harry lowered his head. "Do you like specky," he kissed her softly, "sprawny," he kissed her again, making her moan, "gits." He kissed her hard.

She pulled away. "Not particularly," she said. He growled and pulled her back to him, kissing her passionately. She put her arms around his neck, clinging to him as she became lost in the kiss.

They finally came up for air, and Ginny immediately felt guilty. The devil on one shoulder was telling her to grab Harry and keep snogging the life out of him, but the angel on the other shoulder was screaming out 'What about Jamie?'

Harry leaned his forehead against hers; they were both breathing heavily. "I should go and see Rose. Then I need to call Kingsley. He needs to know about Malfoy."

Ginny nodded, keeping her eyes shut. She daren't look at him again, less she listen to the devil. She felt his lips brush her forehead. "It was always you, Gin. You're my one. I want to be your one, but that's your choice to make. You know how I feel." He paused. "I'm going to go and see Rose. Will you be okay?"

Ginny nodded, a tear leaking out the corner of her eye. Harry brushed it away with his thumb, then softly kissed her lips. "I love you, I have always loved you" he said tenderly, before leaving her to go upstairs.

Ginny sank on to the chair that, only earlier, Ruby had stood on to make toast. She felt terrible, she was a horrible person. She was in a relationship with Jamie, and here she was, kissing another man.

"But it's Harry," screamed the devil on her shoulder. "It's always been Harry. Snog him!"

"You don't know this Harry, it's been seven years. And he doesn't know all you've been through," said the sensible angel.

"Harry wouldn't, couldn't change who he is. You heard him, he hated using the Gnat, just because she looked like you. Of course, you're much prettier," said the devil. "Go after him!"

"Harry isn't the sort of man who'd want you to cheat on Jamie. You need to decide where your future lies, for all three of you," said the angel.

"You were hiding yourself in Ireland. Away from the pain of too many losses, away from people you know, people who care, worrying about you. Being back at the Burrow, training the kids, seeing Luna and Neville, that's the real Ginny. The Ginny that belongs with Harry," screamed the devil.

Ginny waited, but the angel didn't respond straight away. When it did, it said, "Can't argue with that."

"You're life has been tied up with Harry Potter since you were eleven years old. Can you honestly picture yourself living in Ireland, marrying Jamie, having children with Jamie?" asked the devil, impatiently.

"Jamie's a good man. He deserves to be with someone who loves him as much as he loves her," said that damned sensible angel.

"Now picture yourself living with Harry, raising kids with Harry," said the devil, in a knowing tone.

"She doesn't have to picture it, she's living it right now," argued the angel.

"You want kids, don't you? You and Harry are both Teddy's godparents. He'd thrive even more with Harry as a dad," said the devil.

"Gods, what have I done to Teddy. I took him away from all that he knew, we've been practically living like Muggles this past year. He's a wizard, and he needs to know about his magical abilities," cried Ginny, burying her face in her hands. "I'm a terrible mother."

"No, you're not," cried Teddy, hugging her. He'd come into the kitchen and seen Ginny standing there in tears. He'd heard her last words. "You're the best."

"Oh Teddy, I've let you down, and I'm so sorry," said Ginny, resting her head on his.

"Mum, I loved Ireland, and Patty, and my school and football. But, well, I'm not like Patty. I'm a wizard, and I love flying. I like what we did with the wards, and all that. I think-I think I want to be an Auror when I finish Hogwarts, like my real Mum. I want to keep my family safe, like what Harry is doing," announced Teddy.

Ginny stared at her son in surprise. "Wow, I-wow!" She hadn't expected that.

"But can I still be friends with Patty?" asked Teddy.

"Of course. Maybe we can see if Seamus can bring him here for a visit. We will have to go back to Ireland at some stage,"said Ginny.

"To pack up your life there and start fresh,"said the devil.

"To get closure with Jamie," amended the angel.

"Then return to Harry and snog him!" said the cheeky devil.

"Yes, snog him," agreed the angel. "He kisses like an angel, pardon the pun."

Both the angel and devil on her shoulders giggled naughtily. Ginny chuckled herself, making Teddy look at her like she was crazy.

"Hey, want to go for that fly?" she asked him. He nodded happily. Ginny quickly wrote her message to Neville and summoned Luna's owl she'd been using. It flew away quickly.

"Let's go," she said, and arm in arm they walked down to the Quidditch pitch. Unaware that, from Rose's bedroom window, Harry watched them.

Harry decided to give Ginny some space, but not too much. After an hour, he left Neville talking with Rose, and wandered down to the Quidditch pitch. There he found Teddy, but not Ginny.

"Luna came past and they were talking. Mum was walking her to the boundary," explained Teddy.

Harry nodded, glad of a chance for some time alone with Teddy. "So, how did you get into football?" Teddy kicked the ball to him.

Teddy shrugged. "Not much else to do at home if you don't. Uncle Shay took me and Patty to a match with a friend of his and Mum's, Mr Thomas. I liked it, and so when Patty started having lessons, I asked Mum if I could too." Harry kicked the ball back to him, and he did some fancy footwork with it.

"Wow, you're good," said Harry, impressed. Teddy smiled and kicked the ball back to him. Harry tried to do what Teddy had done, and failed miserably, making Teddy laugh. Harry kicked the ball back to him.

"I got best player in one match last season," said Teddy proudly. "I even got to go to football camp. That's where I was when you came and brought Ruby to stay with us." He kicked the ball high and headed it to Harry. Harry caught it, making Teddy frown.

"You're not supposed to catch it, unless you're the goalie," he said.

"I know, but I was hoping for a chance to talk to you. Would that be okay?" asked Harry.

"I guess," shrugged Teddy. "About what?"

"Anything you like. Your parents, what it was like having Ruby live with you, coming here so quickly...Ginny? Ask me anything," offered Harry.

"Mum, Ginny that is, told me my Dad taught you a special charm. Um, the Petro, Patroni...something like that," mumbled Teddy.

"The Patronus charm," chuckled Harry. "Yeah, he did. He was the best Defense against the Dark Arts teacher I ever had. There were some scary things hanging around the school, and they affected me lots. The Patronus charm helped me fight them off."

"Ginny said you taught other kids at school. Can you teach me?" asked Teddy.

"Probably not. I was lucky to learn it so early, and it really helps to have a wand. Ginny didn't learn it until her fifth year, most of the others learnt it in their sixth year," said Harry.

"Oh," said Teddy, looking disappointed. Then he perked up."Can I see it?"

Harry nodded and took out his wand. He thought of Ginny and what had transpired earlier in the kitchen. "Expecto Patronum," he called, and his familiar stag shot out of his wand, bigger and brighter than ever. It pranced around, as if waiting for a message to deliver.

"That's so cool. Mum, er, Ginny said hers is a horse. What do you think mine might be?"asked Teddy, watching it proudly prance around the two males.

"Well, it's hard to say at your age, but Ginny tells me you're a good lad, smart like your Dad, and of course, you have your Mum's Metamorphagus talent, so you may be a wolf," began Harry, when Teddy interrupted him.

"Talent? You call it a talent. Mum, er Ginny does too. Some of the other kids at my school call me a freak," said Teddy, looking ashamed.

Harry knelt down to be face to face with him. He put his hand on Teddy's shoulder. "You are NOT a freak, understand? They just don't understand. They were Muggle kids, weren't they?"

Teddy nodded.

"Did you ever tell your Mum what they said to you, or a teacher?" asked Harry.

Teddy shook her head. "Mum was really sad when we first got there. I didn't want to make her feel badder. Besides, she'd get real angry if she knew some kids were picking on me. You don't want to make my Mum mad, trust me." He grinned at Harry.

"I remember," chuckled Harry, then straightened his face, "but mums and dads need to know these things, especially if they make you feel bad or mad."

"I guess. Patty stuck up for me, so I knew I had at least one friend,"said Teddy. He looked down at the ground. "I miss him."

Harry put his hand on Teddy's shoulder. "I understand what it's like to miss your best mate. Ron and I were best friends practically from the day we met on the Hogwarts Express when we were eleven. I thought about him a lot when I was in America," said Harry sadly.

"He died. Then my Gran died. Then Grandma Molly and Grandpa Arthur died. That's why we went to live in Ireland," said Teddy sadly.

"You've lost a lot of people in your life, Ted. Just like me. I was not even two when I lost my parents, and fifteen when I lost my godfather. Two years later I lost your parents, and someone I considered an older brother, and some friends," said Harry.

"Then you went away, but you came back," stated Teddy. "Are...are you gonna stay this time?"

"Yeah, I am, Ted. England is my home, and I've brought my sister and my niece here to show them their heritage. I'm hoping they'll like it enough to want to stay, too. Maybe you can help me with that?" suggested Harry.

"Sure,"said Teddy. "I-I'd like you to stay. All of you."

Harry smiled at him. "I know I haven't been there for you till now, but I am your godfather, and I do want to be a part of your life. Maybe we could go to a Quidditch match some time, or even meet up with Seamus and , er, Patty, and go to a football match. I used to like Manchester United. They still good?" he asked.

"That's my team too, and Patty's," said Teddy happily. "Yeah, they're doing good. We just won the FA cup back in May, against Millwall. Boy did Uncle Shay have a good night at the pub. It was like everyone in town was crammed in there, watching the match on the telly. I don't know how we'll go this year, Arsenal are the team to beat, but I reckon..." Teddy's face lit up as he went on about Manchester United's chances of making premiers.

Harry kept his hand on the boy's shoulder as he talked football all the way back to the house. Harry decided no matter what, he'd take Teddy to a live match one day.

From the shadows, Ginny followed, listening to their chatter. Her son was getting to the age where he needed a good, steady man in his life, and it looked like Harry had turned up at just the right time. She never doubted he'd make a good godfather to Teddy, even after the final battle. She'd hoped baby Teddy would be the one thing to help Harry through the tough days, but he had only seen the baby once or twice before he left.

It was as Harry ruffled Teddy's black hair and listened to the two of them laugh that Ginny knew she still loved Harry; had never stopped loving Harry.

She needed to take a trip to Ireland and talk to Jamie.

Harry poured him and Teddy a glass of pumpkin juice. He clinked their glasses together, and said "Cheers." Teddy copied him and they both drank thirstily.

Just then, the fire lit up. Harry stood protectively in front of Teddy, until he realised it was Kingsley Shacklebolt. "Harry,"his old friend said in greeting. "It's good to see you."

"You too, Kingsley. How are you?"asked Harry.

"Happy that Lestrange is in Azkaban after all these years. Thanks for that. Intrigued by your message. May I come through?" he asked in his familiar deep voice.

Harry looked to Ginny, who had just come inside. She nodded, and scooted Teddy off to bed. "Don't forget to-" She called out

"Brush my teeth. Yeah, yeah," grinned Teddy from the first floor looking down. "Love you, Mum."

"Cheeky sod," grinned Ginny affectionately, as Kingsley came through the floo. "Good to see you again, Kingsley."

"You too, Ginny," said Kingsley, hugging her.

"Want a cuppa?" she asked, moving naturally into the kitchen and taking out some cups and a big cake she'd baked earlier.

Kingsley chuckled and nodded. He turned back to Harry, raising his eyebrows. "She's so much like Molly."

"She doesn't even realise it,"laughed Harry, albeit quietly.

"You've been missed by many, my friend," said Kingsley, seriously.

"I've missed many, including you, Kinglsey. I would have liked to have been around, if only to see what you would do with a world recovering from a war. I've only heard good things so far," he said.

"Kingsley has done a good job," agreed Ginny, setting out two cups and a plate loaded with cake slices and biscuits. She went to take the third cup upstairs.

"Stay, love. Sit with us. I want you to know what's going on," said Harry.

"You sure?" asked Ginny, the devil on her shoulder dancing a jig at the endearment he'd called her. At Harry and Kingsley's nod, she smiled happily. "I'll just take this up to your sister," she told Harry. She left the men to go upstairs.

"Excuse me, did she just say you've got a sister?" asked Kingsley.

"Sit back, Kingsley, I have quite a story to tell you," said Harry, taking a big bite of the cake. "Merlin that's good."

Kingsley groaned in appreciation as he took a bite too. "I think I just gained five pounds, but it was worth it."

"I think that's the plan. She's fattening me up," said Harry.

"Sorry to say, but you need it. You remind me of Sirius first time I saw him,"said Kingsley.

Ginny joined them again. "Rose is settled and Ruby is reading her a story. 'Babbity Rabbity and her Cackling Stump'. I think we'll be undisturbed for awhile."

Harry placed his arm on the back of Ginny's chair as she leaned back. Kingsley looked between the two but said nothing.

Harry knew Kingsley knew the story of the Horcruxes and the Hallows, so he started by explaining what he'd seen in Snape's memories, and how he'd felt. He told them both of his travels in America, and his joy at finally finding his sister, only to be embroiled in more danger.

"Merlin, Harry, can't your life ever be easy," sighed Kingsley.

"Hopefully, one day," said Harry, looking down at Ginny. Again, Kingsley looked at the two, and said nothing.

Harry then went on to explain Marco's kidnapping, and rescue, only for him to be landed in Malfoy and Lestrange's clutches. He touched on the torture briefly, his eyes converying to Kingsley it was much worse than he was letting on. How his rescue, and Marco's death had then sent him, his sister and his new niece into hiding. How he didn't want to lead Death Eaters back to England, or back close the the Hallows.

He told of his decision to bring Ruby to Ginny, then return to help with Rose's rescue. How he'd almost got caught again, and was beaten up. How he must have led his attacker to Ireland, as Ginny had been forced to flee to the Burrow when someone was seen searching her home. How he and several American Aurors had helped him rescue Rose, and brought her to England. How two of those Aurors had brought Lestrange to England's Aurors, and were still, with one other, staying at the Leaky Cauldron. How they suspected Draco Malfoy might strike again. Soon.

"You know I'm going to need to get all this in writing. All of it, Harry," said Kingsley, now talking as Minister for Magic, not a friend. Harry nodded, knowing he was alluding to the torture details he hadn't wanted to admit to in front of Ginny.

"Tell your American Auror friends to come to the office first thing in the morning, and ask for Robards. They'll need to bring their wands, too. Get them registered, at the very least. They're out of their jurisdiction, but if they're registered with us, well, we can probably work something out."

"Will do. Excuse me for a minute," said Harry, going upstairs after hearing Ruby call out to him.

Ginny watched him go, then turned to Kingsley. "Something's off. How did they find out about Rose, and how did they find out Ruby was with me in Ireland. I don't believe Harry led anyone to my door, he's too careful. His godson and niece were there, he'd never lead anyone to them," said Ginny, vehemently.

"So you think he's been betrayed?" asked Kingsley, his eyebrows raised.

Ginny shrugged. "I don't know. Malfoy's just not that clever. He had to have had inside help. I don't know any of the ones Harry has been working with. I just met them earlier today really," said Ginny.

"First impressions?" asked Kingsley quickly.

"I liked them. Except for...but no, that's a whole other issue," said Ginny, waving her hand.

"Who? Except for who?" asked Kingsley.

"The female Auror, Natalie. But that's, well, let's say she and Harry were close, and leave it at that," said Ginny.

"If you say so," said Kingsley. He could guess what she meant, but it was still worth checking out.

Harry came back downstairs. "What did I miss?" he asked.

"Nothing. Nothing at all," said Ginny, brightly. "I think I'll go up and sit with Rose for a bit. Harry, will you lock up after Kingsley, please? Kingsley, good to see you again."

Both men stood as she left. Harry watched her go upstairs, their eyes meeting as she hit the second floor.

"You've still got stars in your eyes for her," chuckled Kingsley. "I guess I don't have to ask if you've married and have kids, or anything."

Harry shook his head solemnly. "No, it's always been Ginny. I did have a brief relationship with one of the Aurors that helped me find and rescue Rose. She's one of the Aurors at the Leaky."

"I see. Relationship end well, then?" asked Kingsley, his inner alarm bells ringing.

"I wouldn't even call it a relationship, really. We provided comfort to each other in a time of need. I think when you see her, you'll understand," said Harry.

At Kingsley's puzzled look he flushed. "She has red hair, freckles and brown eyes."

Kingsley burst out laughing. "Oh dear." He made a mental note to check out this Auror first.

"I also wanted to ask you for a favour, a personal one," said Harry.

"I see," said Kingsley. "Continue."

Harry took a deep breath. "I want you to help me find Hermione Granger."
