Lost Chapter 10: When I Get Where I'm Going, a harry potter fanfic

Chapter Ten:

Harry's Return-

'When I Get Where I'm Going'

When I get where I'm going
On the far side of the sky
The first thing that I'm gonna do
Is spread my wings and fly

I'm gonna land beside a lion
And run my fingers through his mane
Or I might find out what it's like
To ride a drop of rain

Yeah when I get where I'm goin
There'll be only happy tears
I will shed the sins and struggles
I have carried all these years
And I'll leave my heart wide open
I will love and have no fear
Yeah when I get where I'm going
Don't cry for me down here

I'm gonna walk with my grand daddy
And he'll match me step for step
And I'll tell him how I missed him
Every minute since he left
Then I'll hug his neck

So much pain and so much darkness
In this world we stumble through
All these questions I can't answer
So much work to do

But when I get where I'm going
And I see my maker's face
I'll stand forever in the light
Of his amazing grace
Yeah when I get where I'm goin
Oh When I get where I'm goin
There'll be only happy tears
Hallelujah
I will love and have no fear
When I get where I'm going
Yeah when I get where I'm going
(Fade Out)

That night, Grimmald Place was chaotic. Everyone was running around, trying to help, but it made everything worse. The only one who realized it was bad, was Ginny; however, when she tried to get everyone under control, it made everything worse. She tried to get everyone's attention, but failed, causing more noise.

"Silence!" A voice bellowed, "I believe Ginny wants to say something." Everyone looked around for the source of the voice, but it wasn't found. "Listen to Ginny, and then I will come out."

"Okay," Ginny said uncertainly, "Erm-well, first, I want to thank you all for all your hard-work and effort. Secondly, I think we should come up with a game plan, so we aren't running around like chickens without heads."

"Precisely why I came," The voice said. They all looked over at the door to the kitchen, and saw Harry stepping through.

"Harry!" Practically everyone screeched. Mrs. Weasley bustled over to him, pushed him down into a seat, then poured him tea and gave him a plate piled up with food.

"Thanks Mrs. Weasley," Harry said. He looked up at all the occupants of the kitchen and said, "Well, you all know where I've been. I've come to help. No offence, but you aren't getting anything done. I'm here to take control. I'm also having some others come to help, but they can't stay long."

"Harry dear, eat first. We have four days, we'll be ready," Mrs. Weasley said.

"Okay."

Harry ate as fast as he could. People walked in and out, doing different things. You could always spot Hermione with a book, and Ron did the smallest task using his dagger.

"Now," Harry said, once he was finished, "We need to organize. We need people in the library researching different battle weapons and things that Voldemort will most likely use. Hermione, Mrs. Weasley, Bill, Professor McGonagall, and Professor Flitwick, you can go and do that."

They left and Harry addressed the others, "Okay, Ron, Mr. Weasley, and Gabrielle, I want you to dress up as muggles, and start to set up the safe house. Mr. Figg is waiting for you. Ginny, I want you and Neville to go and get Horace Slughorn, and take him to the safe house. Talk to Mrs. Figg and make a list of potions you'll all need. Neville, you'll need to get the ingredients ready for Horace, then he can brew them. Ginny, you and Mrs. Figg need to get her living room full of beds and cupboards.

"Mark, Fred, George, I want you to contact Lee, and I want the four of you round up anything you have that may help us. Also, if you have a good idea, do it. If you need any money, tell me and I'll get you some. Lastly, I want the rest of you to do anything else you think needs to be done. If you're not sure, talk to me."

"Well, you have all done a good job," Harry said two nights later, "I reckon that we are ready for this battle, and ready to beat Voldemort. Is there anything that you know that we need to do."

"Horace still has two potions we need. One won't be ready until that morning, and the other will be ready soon, Neville just needs to find one last ingredient. We have looked in many books, but still haven't found anything," Ginny said.

"What is it?" Harry asked.

"Integros," Neville said, "This is actually the first time I've ever heard of them."

"You can find integros at the bottom of the ocean. I don't believe that anyone has gotten them for over half a century." A holograph of Helga was hovering over Ginny's ring.

"Thanks Helga," Ginny said in Badger. The holograph left and, in English, Ginny said, "They are at the bottom of the ocean-"

"They are extremely hard to get," Hermione said, with her nose stuck in a book titled Odd Plants That You've Never Heard Of, "No one has gotten one for over half a century."

"Why don't you try to summon one, Ron," Charlie asked, "With your dagger, you know."

"Accio Integros!" Ron called proudly.

They all sat around the table, waiting in silence. "Er-I don't think it worked," Fred said bluntly.

Then, a green, bush-like plant flew in the window and hit Fred square in the face.

"Ow! That hurt! Stupid Integros!" Fred complained, tossing the plant to Neville, who looked excited as he apparated away.

Everyone laughed and Ron said, "God, I love this dagger. You spoke way to soon Fred."

"Is everything ready? The potions?" Harry asked the night before the battle.

"Yes. Well, all except for the Crutiartus Potion, but, as Ginny said before, it won't be ready until tomorrow morning. Horace is going to take it over to Mrs. Figg as soon as it's ready," Neville said.

"Okay. Are the inventions all ready?"

"Yeah, they're in the safe house. We had to lock them up, because the kids wanted to play with them," Lee said.

Then George, in an uncanny impersonation of Percy said, "Children these days. I don't know how Mom and Dad survived with all of us. I can barely survive with two."

It brought around a chorus of laughs, then Harry said, "Okay then, if everything's ready, I want you all to go to bed. It's going to be a long day tomorrow."

Everyone obeyed, even if their opinion was very different. Harry walked up to the room Sirius used to occupy and flopped into his bed, falling asleep instantly.
