A small black hawk flew up to the ledge of a window and walked towards the slight crack that was left open to allow air to enter the house. It was already dark and a party was under way on the inside, a large cake was in the center of the room. Most people where wondering around until one boy with red hair stepped near a table that had a large chocolate layered cake with flaring candles and red and gold writing.
Ron cleared his throat, a bottle of butter beer in his hand. "Excuse me!" he said calling attention to himself, almost every one in the full room stopping.
"Um, yeah thanks," Ron said surveying the room. He saw his family, even Bill's fiancé Fleur was there with the family along with Tonks, Remus, Dumbledore, McGonagall, Moody, and other members of the order. Across he saw Hermione and tried to keep his ears from going red as he saw her struggling with Chris. He was still to chicken to tell her, to tell her that four letter word most boys his ages where afraid of saying.
"Well today we have come together because," Ron stopped, his mum had asked him to make a little speech in Harry's honor because he couldn't be there because basically no one knew where he was. So instead of looking for him all the people who where suppose to care for Harry where gathered in a room cutting cake for Harry's 16th birthday when no one knew if he was alive or not. And as always Ron's anger got the better of him.
"...together because we are all to bloody stupid! We are sitting here like bloody fools while Harry could be dying! Meanwhile we are sitting here, cutting a piece of cake and acting as if Harry has just gone on vacation! I saw the house, I saw the Dursleys," Ron said the name with venom unbecoming of a boy so young, "I know what happened! And I am tired of all of you telling me I am to young to do something! I don't need a bloody wand to find my bloody brother! So all of you can buggar off!" And before Ron knew it he was flying out the front door of the burrow and out into the night leaving behind a very stunned bunch of people. But what he didn't see was the small black bird take off into the air behind him as he entered the woods near his house.
"Stupid bloody darkness," Ron said as he trudged threw the trees, having no clue where he was going. He has his wand but he'd be daft to us it other wise the minister would probably kick him out of school and that was the last thing he needed.
"CRACK"
Ron heard something, a stick break behind him. He turned around fast, his face still filled with the anger from before.
"Whose there?" he asked!
"Ronald it's me," he heard some one say.
"Hermione?"
"Yes you idiot!" Hermione said emerging in front of Ron, he catching her as she tripped.
"What are you doing here!" he said, his voice slightly angry.
"Following you! Running out like that! Are you daft or something! Every one is trying their hardest to find Harry and you! You pull this idiotic stunt! Sometime Ronald you drive me mad!" Hermione yelled at him.
"I didn't ask you to bloody follow me now did I! Just go back! I'm going to find Harry! I'm tired of waiting! I'd rather fail then keep waiting till they fail!"
"Why do you think every one is going to fail! They will find him! They have to!" Hermione ranted!
"WHY! I'll tell you why! Because either Harry is dead and all they are going to find is a corpse or he is dying and all they will find is a corpse! Hermione, Voldemort is back! He is back and he is looking for blood, Harry's blood! And if for some reason Harry is alive and well who is to say Voldemort wont find him first. Harry's parents couldn't hide and neither can he. He will be found and it is only a matter of..." but Ron stopped mid-sentence.
"What Ronald! WHAT! You started the sentence now..." but Ron stopped her.
"Quite," he whispered.
"Ronald!"
"Hermione shut it will you!" Ron said as he heard the noise.
"Some one is coming," Hermione said quietly, Ron nodded.
Ron saw it before Hermione did, "GET DOWN!" he yelled pulling her to the ground as a green jet of light came soaring above her head.
"Hermione run back to the Burrow, I'll cover you!" Ron said as a stamped of feet started to come closer.
"No Ron! I'm not losing you as well! We'll fight, we'll fight and we'll both leave!"
"I..."
"We got out of pickles before Ron," Hermione said as she stood, her wand out.
"We had Harry then," Ron answered, joining her side.
Harry stayed high above as the hawk as he watched Ron walk threw the woods and as Hermione joined him. He was about to leave when he saw five men in masks, "Shit" thought Harry as he saw a green light send at Hermione, he flew down as quick as he could. Not thinking about the importance of his identity being hidden but about the safety of his friends.
"Oh boys look what we got here," one of the death eaters said towards Ron and Hermione.
"Little Weasley and Mudblood wanna fight boys!" the death eater said with a laugh, with a nod of his head the others got ready to fight when there was a rustle in the trees behind Ron and Hermione and out emerged a boy with raven black hair, deep green eyes and sheer determination written across his face.
"Didn't think you guys could start this with out me eh?" Harry said standing in the middle of Ron and Hermione.
"Harry?" Ron said, not believing his own eyes, Hermione was speechless.
"Talk later Ron, for now protect yourself behind those trees. I'll take care of these idiots," Harry said.
"Not alone mate," Ron said, still not believing his own eyes.
"Listen," Harry said as he sent the first curse out of his wand, "I can use magic and not be tracked. You guys can't! So unless you want Fudge to kick you out of Hogwarts just let me handle this," Harry said as he knocked the first two guys out, he stared into Ron's eyes. "Hermione is in no condition to fight any way," Harry said and it was true, she was in shock. Ron nodded and grabbing Hermione's hand ran to where Harry said.
Harry sent several more curses off and it took care off all five death eaters. He tied them up with another curse, obviated their memories and headed towards the trees. He was sweating, and one of the death eaters had gotten in a good hex, Harry was bleeding from his right leg and could hardly support himself as he dragged over to Ron.
"Your hurt," Ron said.
"Thanks for stating the obvious mate," Harry said as he collapsed to the ground, this shaking Hermione out of the state she was in.
"Harry!" she yelled running over to him.
"I'm okay," he said.
"Clearly not! Your bleeding, you have a horrible gash in your leg!" Hermione said.
"I'll be fine," Harry stated.
"Ron we need to get him back to the burrow. He is losing a lot of blood," Hermione said almost in a panic.
"NO!" Harry said.
"What do you mean no?" Hermione asked.
"I can't go back to the Burrow, not yet. No one can know I am back. Hell you guys wouldn't have known if Ron hadn't been such an idiot and ran into the woods in the middle of the night! You need to use your bloody head mate!"
"How?" Ron said shocked.
"I don't care Harry! I don't care about anything right now but getting your leg looked at,"
"Listen I'm gonna go to my home. You guys will see me soon enough just don't let my secret out. I don't want to erase your memories but I will if I have to."
"Take us with you!" Hermione said.
"No! I take care of this myself," Harry said heatedly.
"I am not letting this go! I've been worried, worried all bloody summer and you show up out of the bloody blue, save Ron and my arse, get hurt and expect me to just let you go!"
"Um actually yes," Harry said.
"Well your wrong. Either we come with or you come back to the burrow with us,"
Harry looked to Ron for help, "No way Harry. I'm just as interested as she is."
"Fine! But don't say I didn't warn you," Harry said.
"Hedwig! HEDWIG!"
"Harry why are you calling for your owl?" Ron asked just as a beautiful white phoenix appeared.
"Take my hand," Harry said as he gave his hand to Hermione who took Ron's. Harry's spare hand touched the white bird and in a flash a flames the trio was gone. And some where out deep in Griffin Manor an old portrait gave a grin.
Back at the burrow there stood a bunch of totally confused people. It was Ginny Weasley who was holding Chris after Hermione's sudden exit who snapped into action.
"Bloody hell we need to find them! This is Harry's birthday, the biggest night for death eaters attack," Ginny said as everyone's face went pale.
Mr. Weasley sprung into action, "Bill take Percy and look at the north east side, Charlie go with the twin and take the west..."
"Well," said Harry as the three of them fell down onto a cold marble floor, "welcome to Griffin Manor," he said sucking in air. His leg was awfully painful, Hedwig flew over to his leg and two tear drops later the wound healed up and all that was left was the blood on his pants.
"Much better," he said as his friend stared at him as if he was crazy.
"Where are we?" Hermione asked.
"My home, Griffin Manor. It was owned by my mum's family."
"Harry this is no muggle home," Ron said.
"It's a long story mate,"
"Well how about telling us where you have bloody been all summer!" Ron said, clenching and un clenching his fist as if he wanted to hit Harry.
"Listen it's nothing grand. I...when I was at the Dursely's they attacked me. It was...unpleasant."
"Unpleasant! Harry I saw the house! I saw the bloody basement it was filled with blood! The death eaters had your bloody family torture you and all you can say is unpleasant!" Ron said.
"Death eaters?" Harry choked out.
"You didn't know?" Ron asked.
"No," Harry croaked out, "no I thought, I thought it was on their own accord."
"I'm sorry Harry," Ron said.
"Are they?"
"Dead, we didn't get there in time."
"It doesn't matter," Harry said as he shuck his head of the Dursley's, as he tried to rid his mind of what his body looked like with out the glamor he had on. "I was rescued by elves,"
"House elves?" Hermione asked.
"No actual elves, well technically Hedwig saved me. Something to do with her being a familiar. Any way time is different time there, I've actually was there for over six months when I really only missed a month here," Harry said speaking fast, he really didn't want to go into detail. He was fighting down the itch to erase their memories and send them back to the burrow.
"Listen I can't go into details guys. I'm sorry not yet there is to much at risk," Harry said trying to think of how he could get them to leave, especially before Dobby came in with Jason.
"HARRY JAMES POTTER DON'T YOU DARE TRY AND GET RID OF US! WE'VE WAITED FOREVER! WE THOUGHT YOU WHERE DEAD!" Hermione yelled.
"Hermione calm down," said Ron.
"Calm down? You where the one yelling about how he was probably dead before! And now you are telling me to calm down," Hermione said turning at Ron.
"Hermione," Harry started.
"Don't start with me Harry. A lot has happened since you've been gone! And then your gonna walk back in and be like hey guys I'm back but can't tell you nothing!"
Harry didn't answer and Hermione stormed threw the nearest door way.
"I'm sorry Ron but I really can't tell you what happen, not yet,"
"I want to kick your arse Harry I really do but I wont, you've been through enough but I expect to hear what happened. How'd you find Hermione and I any way?" Ron asked.
"I learnt a few tricks while I was away. I saw what you did at your house from the window, and what you said. Did you mean it mate?" Harry asked almost afraid of the answer.
"Yeah, yeah I did. This conversation is getting to emotional for me," Ron said taping Harry on the shoulder.
"So what was Hermione talking about before? What happened when I was away?"
"I don't now how to say it but Hermione's family was attacked," Ron said.
"What? Are they okay? Where are the Grangers?"
"They didn't survive. It seems Hermione was adopted Harry and who ever her birth mum was had another kid and left it at the Grangers. When the death eaters attacked Hermione's home her parents told her to Chris, that's his name, and told her to run. She didn't want to, she wanted to stay and fight, she had a wand but there was so many of them."
"Are...this is not possible. The Grangers, Hermione is adopted and has a brother? Where is Hermione staying? Does she need a place to stay cause,"
"She is staying at the burrow, mum is taking care of Chris. But that isn't it Harry we know who her da is," Ron said.
"Her birth father?" Harry asked.
"Yeah, Harry Sirius was her dad. Her birth mum left a note with Chris."
Harry stood shocked, it couldn't be.
"HARRY POTTER!" Hermione yelled storming into the room, Dobby following her with Jason in his arms.
"Oh Godric," Harry said.
"What is this Harry! Dobby called him Jason Potter! Who is he!" Hermione said, her face red.
"Listen he's my ...my son!" Harry said. Hermione and Ron stood still, shocked.
"Who'd you knock up?" Ron asked, Hermione slapping him hard.
"No one! Listen his parent's where killed and I adopted him," Harry said, simple explanation, but Hermione wasn't buying it.
"Then why does he look like you! Harry he has your eyes," Hermione said.
"He bonded with me. Elven children who loose their parents are adopted and in most cases bond with the new parent, in essence if I was to take a muggle DNA test he would be my son."
"This is unbelievable," Ron said. "You're a da?"
"Yeah, I guess I am," Harry replied, " and please understand this is just something I need to do."
"I..." Hermione said weakly, "I think it's noble Harry."
"Ron told me about your parents," Harry blurted out.
"Harry it's not,"
"Listen Hermione, and listen to me now. We knew Sirius and if he knew that you where his daughter he would of said something Hermione. I promise and vow to help you to find your mum and if you or your brother need anything I will sign over half of the Potter fortune to you," Harry said. Hermione just hugged him, "I don't need anything Harry, now that your back I have what I need."
"Excuse me," Ron said, holding Jason in his arms. "But Dobby left Jason here and disappeared,"
Hermione laughed and wiped her eyes and Harry took Jason from Ron.
"I was gonna ask you guys this later but seeing as you're here now and you know would you be Jason's god parents. He also has a twin sister she is missing but I'd be honored if you two, my best friends, my family would look after Jason, if anything every happens."
"Nothing will happen mate, not now that we are together. And I think I'd like to be Uncle Ron,"
"You've grown up Ron," Harry said.
"We all have," Hermione replied, "we all have."
