Chapter 12: St. Mungo's

Everyone but Harry spent the rest of the morning sleeping. He went up to the bedroom he shared with Ron over the summer, but as Ron slept, Harry just sat hunched against the metal bars of the bedstead, keeping himself deliberately uncomfortable, determined not to fall into a doze. He didn't want to have anymore nightmares or witness anymore people he knew being attacked. He wished Hedwig was here, he would write to Sophie and beg her to come get him and let him stay with her for the Holiday. Maybe that would get his mind off of everything. Just a few hours ago he was in the Room of Requirement making-out with his girlfriend and doing things they never done before. And now he was stuck in Sirius' old family home after dreaming of said girlfriend's father getting attacked and more questions than answers running through his head. Which still kind of hurt.

When Ron got up, Harry didn't even bother pretending he had slept. Their trunks arrived from Hogwarts while they were eating lunch, well, while everyone else was eating, Harry was just picking at his food as Ginny and the others two Gryffinclaws shot him worried looks. They all dressed as muggles for a trip to St, Mungo's. Harry in black jeans and black T-shirt. Ginny in a pair of black pants with chines hanging on the sides, Teddy in his pants with zippers all of them and T-shirt, Rigel in a dress shirt and blue jeans. Teddy wore his hair blue and long pulled back in a ponytail.

Everyone except the four Gryffinclaws were chatting and talkative. Harry was a bit grumpy from not having any sleep, Rigel was never talkative anyway, Ginny didn't think everyone should be so cheerful even with her dad in the hospital, and Teddy just wasn't talking because the others weren't talking. Tonks turned up to help Sirius escort them across London, they all got on the Underground, surprisingly all four Gryffinclaws found seats by each other, Harry in the middle of Ginny and Rigel, Ginny was holding on to his hand, and Teddy was on the other side of Ginny, Next to him his mother Tonks sat with Britney on her other side. A lot of the muggle passengers were pointing at the scar on her face, which made her hid her face under her long hair.

Tonks on the other hand was very interested in Harry's vision, something he really didn't want to talk about.

"There isn't any seer blood in your family is there?" She asked. Rigel snorted and Harry shook his head.

"No," said Tonks, "no, I suppose it's not really prophecy you're doing is it? I mean you're not seeing the future, you're seeing the present...It's odd, isn't it? Useful, though..."

"Mum." Teddy said. "Leave Harry alone, will you? I'm sure he doesn't want to talk about it."

They arrived outside a large, old-fashioned, red brick department store called Purge and Dowse Ltd. Which was only for show, it was actually St. Mungo's the wizard hospital. They stepped through the glass and ended up in a crowded room, wizards and witches have who has been hurt or cursed, Healers in lime-green robes. Last time Harry was here was probably a year after his parents had died. Harry had only been nine and had gotten hold of Cody's wand, he was going through a stage where he wanted to be just like Cody and had tried to bewitch his hair red. He only managed to give himself little horns sticking out of the top of his head. And of course Cody had found the whole thing funny, Jesse had not wanted to take Harry to St. Mungo's, it had only been a year since their parents had died and he knew people would make a big deal out of seeing Harry. So Jesse had taken him to Sirius' hoping their godfather would know what to do. But all that did was get Harry laughed at by Rigel and Sirius. In the end Jesse had to take him to the wizard hospital, they had tried every spell and charm they could think of and nothing had helped. They had even Owled Lupin over. He hadn't known what to do either, and Teddy who had come along with him had laughed at Harry too. After Harry got fixed and sent home, he spent two weeks not talking to either Cody, Sirius, Rigel, or Teddy.

Mrs. Weasley got the number to Mr. Weasley's room from the Welcome Witch at the front desk and they all followed her through a sit of double doors and along the narrow corridor.

"We'll wait outside." Tonks said, once they made it to Mr. Weasley's room. She leaned up against the wall holding onto Britney's hand. Sirius and Rigel leaned up against the wall next to her, as did Teddy. When Harry went to stay behind with Jesse and Cody Ginny grabbed his hand and pulled him toward the room

"Don't be silly, Harry." Ginny said. "Daddy will want to thank you." Mrs. Weasley who's friendliness toward Harry had faded when she finally noticed the marks he had put on Ginny's neck. (She used magic to get rid of them) gave Ginny a disapproving look, but didn't say anything. Knowing Arthur had said he would like to see Harry.

There were only three patients in the ward. Mr. Weasley was occupying the bed at the far end of the ward. He was popped up on several pillows reading the Daily Prophet. He looked up when he heard them coming toward him and when he saw who it was beamed.

"Hello!" he called, throwing down the paper. "Bill just left, Molly, had to go to work, he said he'll drop in on you all later."

"How are you Arthur?" Mrs. Weasley asked. "You're looking a bit peaky."

"I feel just fine, Molly." Arthur said. He held out his good arm so Ginny could give him a hug. "If they could only take the bandages off, I'd be fit to go home."

"Why can't they take them off?" Fred asked.

"Well, I start bleeding like mad every time they do." Mr. Weasley said. "It seems there was something unusual in the snake's venom, that keeps the wound open, but don't worry," he added seeing Ginny's worried look. "They're sure they'll find an antidote, though, they say they've had much worse cases than me. I just have to take a Blood-Replenishing Potion every hour."

"Much worse cases, eh?" Fred asked, he smirked at Harry.

"Like that time Harry gave himself horns trying to bewitch his hair red." George smirked toward Harry, whose face turned red and Ginny laughed.

"You did what?" She demanded.

"How did you know about that?" Harry demanded.

"Cody." The twins said.

"Of course." Harry rolled his eyes, as them and Ginny laughed at him.

"So, you going to tell us what happen, daddy?" Ginny demanded, sitting on the side of his bed.

"You already know, don't you?" Mr. Weasley said. "I'd had a very long day, and dozed off got sneaked up on, and bitten."

"Is it in the paper?" Fred asked.

"No of course not." Mr. Weasley said. "The Ministry wouldn't want people to know a giant dirty snake got-"

"Arthur." Molly snapped.

-got-er-me." Mr. Weasley said, Harry shared a look with Ginny, both pretty sure that wasn't what he was going to say.

"So where were you when it happened?" George asked.

"That is my business." Mr. Weasley said. He picked up the paper. "I was just reading the paper, and..."

"When you say you were on duty?" Fred asked. "What were you doing?"

"You heard your father." Mrs. Weasley snapped. "We are not discussing this here! Go on, Arthur. What did you see in the paper?"

"There have been a few attacks." Mr. Weasley said. Mrs. Weasley frown, clearly not expecting that.

"Was it Death Eaters?" Harry asked, glancing at the paper. Maybe Voldemort would come out soon and people will know he's not lying nut.

"I'm not sure, but the Ministry is blaming vampires." Mr. Weasley said.

"Vampires?" Harry demanded.

"Yeah, they all have the same bite marks." said. "On their necks, just two-"

"Snake bites look a lot like Vampire bites." Fred spoke up. "Are they sure it isn't the same snake that bit you?"

"Fred, I said we are not-"

"You-Know-Who has a snake doesn't he?" George demanded. "Maybe it's his snake attacking people."

"George-"

"You said You-Know-Who had a snake didn't you, Harry?" Fred demanded.

"Um...yeah." Harry mumbled, Mrs. Weasley turned her glare from the twins to him.

"You were guarding it, weren't you?" Ginny demanded. "The thing you-know-who is after."

"Ginevra, be quiet!" Mrs. Weasley snapped.

"Don't call me Ginevra!" Ginny snapped back. "And I have-we have every right to know what happened to dad."

"You know what you need to know." Mrs. Weasley snapped. "You're already in hot water missy-"

"For what?" Ginny demanded. "Because I made out with my boyfriend. Isn't that what couples do?" Harry's face turned blood-red when everyone, but Mrs. Weasley and Ginny turned to look at him.

"Ginny, they are people in here." Mrs. Weasley said, looking at the two other wizards that was in the ward. Ginny rolled her eyes. Mrs. Weasley turned back to her husband.

"Sirius, Tonks and Jesse, are outside wanting to see you." She told him. Then turned back to the kids. "You lot wait outside." Ginny glared at her mother then headed toward the door, where she slammed it on her way out. Harry kept his eyes down on the ground as he followed. Fred and George behind him.

"Fine, don't tell us anything." Fred spat, as the door closed, when the three order members went in the room. He stuck his hands in his pockets and felt around.

"Looking for these?" George asked, pulling out what looked like a tangle of flesh-color string.

"You read my mind." Fred said, grinning. He and George detangled to string and handed when to each teen in the hall, and even gave one to little Britney, but when Fred hold one out to Harry he hesitated.

"Oh, go on, Harry." Ginny said. Taking the string out of Fred's hand and tossing it in Harry's. "If anyone to eavesdrop on daddy it's you. You saved his life." They all stuck the end of the string in their ears.

"Okay, go on." Fred said. The flesh-color string wriggled like long skinny worms, then snaked under the door. For four or five seconds. Harry could hear nothing. Then heard Mr. Weasley whispering.

"It's weird." He was saying, "the names of the people attacked were people we know to be Death Eaters. All dead, and all completely drained f blood."

"Well, Dumbledore believes it's the work of the Bloodburg Clan." Sirius said. "Anyway, Arthur they searched the whole Ministry and could not find the snake anywhere."

"You-Know-Who couldn't expect a snake to get it." Tonks said.

"No, I reckon he sent it as a lookout." Sirius told her. "He's not had any luck getting it. No, I think he's just trying to get a clear picture of what he's facing, and where it is."

"You know, Dumbledore seemed almost to have been waiting for Harry to see something like this." Mrs. Wealsey said. "It's funny, these visions he's having and-everything. There is something funny about that boy."

"Molly, you do realize you are talking about my brother, right?" Jesse demanded.

"And my godson." Sirius put in.

"I don't mean anything by it." Mrs. Weasley said. "But those visions he had. And don't know if I feel comfortable with him around Ginny. The marks that were on her neck-Oh, you don't think he was trying to bite her do you?"

"Molly," Mr. Weasley said. "You make it sound as if Harry is the snake."

"Your daughter is a teenager now." Sirius said. "She's going to have boyfriends. She and Harry just had a heated make out session. No, big deal. I've left worse looking hickys on girls when I was in school and every summer for the past two years, Rigel has come home with his neck covered in hickys. Doesn't mean anything."

"Ginny is the last person Harry would hurt." Jesse put in. "I know, he gets that same look in his eyes when he looks at Ginny, that dad did whenever he looked at Mum. My little brother is in love with your daughter, I have no doubt about that."

"Dumbledore seemed worried about Harry." Tonks said.

"Of course he's worried." Jesse said. "I'm worried, Cody's worried. We're all worried. My little brother has a mad man after him. Who wouldn't be worried."

"Yes, but, Harry is seeing things from the mond You-know-who's snake." Mrs. Weasley said. "That can't be normal. Obviously Harry doesn't know what this means, but if You-Know-Who is possessing him-"

Harry jerked back from the door and looked over at everyone, they all had done the same and was now looking at him with their mouth hanging open. Harry couldn't take it and tossed the string down and turned and ran.

"Harry," He heard Ginny cry, but ignore it and kept on running, he ran all the way down the hall, ignoring Healers shouting 'no running' and out to the crowed lobby and then through the window and outside. It was colder than it had been when they came, and now raining, with a mixer of sleet. He stopped running the moment he got outside and turned and began to walk down the sidewalk.

Harry couldn't believe this, Voldemort was able to possess him, how, and why did he have these dreams. Mrs. Weasley sure didn't like him being with Ginny. Would she break them up. Though it would probably be safer for Ginny if they did, but Harry was going to be selfish when it came to that. He couldn't handle losing her, not now or ever. Possessed or not he would never harm Ginny. Why did this have to be happening, who couldn't Voldemort have just stayed dead like you were suppose to. Or powerless, whatever the hell is was Voldemort had been. No one seemed to have figured that out yet.

"Harry, where do you think you are going get back here." He heard Jesse's voice as he got to the end of the sidewalk. Harry turned around and saw both his brothers walking toward him, while the other's just stood and watched. Ginny broke free from her mother, ran past Cody and Jesse, nearly knocking them down as she did so. And through herself in Harry's arms.

"I don't care what we heard or what Mum thinks." Ginny said. "I love you and nothing is going to change that."

Harry smile, then laid his hands on either side of her face and gave a deep, passionate kiss.

"I love you too, baby." Harry said, as he put his arms around her. He smirked up at his two brothers, then did something no one but his friends knew he could do, since it wasn't taught till Sixth year, but Harry and his friend taught themselves how the summer before third year. Holding onto his Ginny tightly, Harry apparated away, taking her with him.

"Harry!" Ginny cried in shock. "I can't believe you did that." She let go of his waist and looked around. "Are we.."

"In Godric' Hollow, yes." Harry answered taking Ginny's hand. "After everything that's been happening lately I just needed to see...my parents. And I wanted...no needed you to be with me."

"I understand, Babe." Ginny said. "But I doubt Mum will."

"Neither will Jesse or Cody." Harry said. "But I don't care anymore. Cody seems to have picked Jesse over me now. They're both trying to stop me from seeing my sister."

"Sophia doesn't sound too bad." Ginny said.

"She's a vampire." Harry said. Ginny gave him a surprise look. "I figured it out during that report for Professor Grimes, he's a part of her clan. I think it's them attacking the Death Eaters, I spoke with their leader when I was at their house this past summer. He's nice and offered to help me fight Voldemort. He gave the same offer to Dumbledore, but he turned it down. But I didn't, after giving it some thought I accepted, though I didn't know what they were at the time, but if I did it wouldn't have changed my mind. We need all the help we can get."

Harry started walking, leading Ginny toward the cemetery where he's parent were barred.

"I don't know if I agree with the killing." Harry said. "But the less supporters Voldemort has the better."

"That's true." Ginny nodded, as Harry opened the gate and allowed Ginny to walk in first. He then followed took her hand and led her toward the marble tombstone of Lily and James Potter.

"Do me a favor and don't tell anyone about Sophie." Harry said. "I'm the only one that knows."

"Of course, Babe." Ginny said. As they made it up to the tombstone it read:

A Loving Mother and Father

Taking from this world too soon

Lily Evans Potter James Henry Potter

Jan. 1962- Oct. 1998 March 1962-Oct. 1998

Together Forever

There was a picture of the two of them between their names and Ginny smiled sadly at it.

"Your mother was such a pretty woman, Harry, it's a sad she was killed. Both of them." Ginny said. Harry let go of Ginny's hand and sat down in front of the tombstone.

"Thanks." Harry said. "Cody looks just like her, so does Sophie. Jesse and I took after dad."

"I see that." Ginny said, sitting next to Harry. They were both frizzing, but didn't care, as Ginny wrapped her arms around Harry's one arm and laid her head on his shoulder and didn't speak. Knowing Harry needed this moment right now. They both just sat there looking at the tombstone, as time ticked away.

Neither of them knew how long they had sat there, it was starting to get dark as a shadow fall over them, both grabbed their wands and spun around.

"Sophie." Harry cried out in shock. She glanced at Ginny, then turned to Harry.

"I find it ironic that Jesse has raised you for seven years now, but yet doesn't know you enough to look here when searching for you." Sophie said. "But here I've been out of your life for seven years and know right where to look."

"How did you know Harry was missing?" Ginny demanded.

"I have my ways, Miss. Weasley." Sophie answered. She turned back to Harry. "Come, it is not safe to be out after dark." She turned and motioned for them to follow her.

"How do you know I would be here?" Harry demanded, grabbing Ginny's hand and running to catch up with his sister. She turned to look at him as she opened the gate.

"Because." Sophie said. "I come here too when upset." She got it opened and walked out.

"Really?" Harry demanded. "You visit Mum and Dad?"

"I'm not completely cruel, Harry." Sophie said. "We might have fought like Gryffindors and Slytherins, but they were still my parents too." She stopped and looked at him. "I still loved them." She headed toward Her car. It was the same little two seat sports car Caleb drove Harry home in. She opened the door on her side and looked over at Harry.

"I'm afraid she'll have to seat in your lap." Sophie said.

"She has a name." Ginny said. "And I'm right here. You can tell me." Sophie looked at Ginny a moment, then gave her an amused grin.

"Forgive me, Ginny." Sophie said. "But I hope you don't mind, you have to sit in Harry's lap." Ginny just shrugged and Sophie climbed in and unlocked Harry's door for him. Harry opened it and climbed in, Ginny got on his lap and the moment their door closed, Sophie speed off.

"Where are we going?" Harry asked.

"Grimmauld." Sophie said. Harry groaned. "You have to face them all sooner or later, Harry."

"I know." Harry said. They drive the rest of the way in silence and too soon for Harry's liking they were pulling up at Grimmauld Place. Ginny opened the door and hopped out.

"Harry," Sophie said. Harry paused in climbing out and looked at her. "Please don't just run off like that again. If you need to get away, just press your raven and say I need you Sophie and I'll be there to get you."

"My raven?" Harry asked, gripping hold of it a and looking down at it."

"Yes, it is connected to mine by magic." Sophie said. "And Caleb's." Harry just nodded, and climbed out and shut the door. He put his arm around Ginny and headed toward Grimmauld place. Harry rang the doorbell and waited, it was only seconds before the door was swung open by Mrs. Weasley.

"What the hell do you think you were doing?" She demanded. "Running off with my daughter. Where did you two go."

"Give it a rest Mum." Ginny said, and she and Harry past Mrs. Weasley into the house, where everyone, but Rigel and Teddy stood there watching.

"Harry, just what the hell was all that about?" Jesse demanded.

"What's with everyone being so nosey?" Ginny demanded. She grabbed Harry's hand and they headed toward the stairs.

"Why do you two think you are going?" Both Jesse and Mrs. Weasley demanded.

"Where we want." Harry and Ginny answered. And without another word head to Rigel's room, where they knew their two best friends were waiting for them to return and they unlike everyone else would respect Ginny and Harry's wish to keep it to themselves.

A.N. Hope that was good, and I had to change the dates on Lily and James grave because the years are different from the book, it's 2005, not 1995, and if Lily and James was 36 when they decided and it was 1998 when they died it would put them if I added it right being born in 1962. And I decided to change what their tombstone said, since Jesse, Cody, and Harry, maybe even Sophie would have picked it out. I figured they would put something sweet on it. And I hope you like how I had Harry apparate away and take Ginny with him,, instead of doing what he did in the book and go back to Grimmauld place and basically pout about what he heard. Again, sorry about the short chapter. The next one will be longer, I just had to Get 's out of the way. I may not show them going there for Christmas and just mention that they did.
