Chapter 12
The next morning Harry made it out of bed before Ginny, so he could beg her to forgive him for ignoring her last night, after about ten minutes, in which Harry had even dropped to his knees, and Ginny tried her hardest not to smile. But finally she gave in and had to laugh. Harry stood up and hugged her. They kissed then headed off to the Great Hall.
As the days went on Harry was unable to get into the Room of Requirement to see what Malfoy was doing, but he and Ginny managed to spend a few nights in there together. It would appear Malfoy had taken to mostly using the room during breaks or skipping classes. Harry has noticed Malfoy hasn't been showing up for Potions or Defense Against the Dark Arts. He was even driving Teddy and Rigel nuts going on and on about what Malfoy could be doing. And unfortunately none had been able to get the memory from Slughorn. Rigel had even hung back in class one day after everyone had left and used his idea of acting like he heard older Slytherins talking about Horcruxes and asked Slughorn what they were, Slughorn had yelled at Rigel to get out and hadn't talked to either of them since, he even stopped having his parties with the 'Slug Club'
"I think he realized you were trying to find out about the memory." Ginny told Rigel, when he told them what happened with Slughorn. "Apparently he is not as stupid as you thought."
February went by pretty quick and soon March arrived, the rain stopped and what snow that was left on the ground melted away, Harry was no longer able to go out during the day at all, not with the constant sunshine. So, he just settled for going out at night.
"For the last time forget about Malfoy." Teddy said. Harry was sitting in a dark corner in the castle halls, away from windows and sunlight. Rigel and Teddy sat across from him, Ginny was in class and the other three had a break, Teddy was holding a leaflet -Common Apparition Mistakes and How to Avoid them. Teddy was taking his Apparations test in two days, Harry, Rigel and Ginny had to wait till the summer to take their test. "You have more important things to do."
"Morph, Malfoy poisoned you." Harry said. "Did you forget that? I have to find out what he is doing. Do you remember what he did to Ginny?"
"Yes," Teddy said. "And finding the way to stop Voldemort is more important than getting revenge on someone who may or may not have poisoned me."
"They're both important." Harry said. "I can't let him by with what he did to you, Ginny and Tiffany."
"Just forget it." Teddy said.
"Why are you even reading that?" Rigel demanded, mostly to stop Teddy and Harry's bickering. "You know how to Apparate already." He reached over and snatched the leaflet out of Teddy's hand.
"I just wanted to see what mistakes people make." Teddy shrugged.
"Idiot." Rigel mumbled, smacking Teddy on the head with the leaflet.
"Oh, so you're back to that are you?" Teddy asked, glaring at Rigel and snatching back his leaflet. "Prat."
While the three good friends sat in the hall goofing off, Britney Lupin was walking out of Defense Against the Dark Arts by herself, Tiffany had gotten a detention from Snape for standing up for Britney when Snape tried to make her look bad in front of the whole class. She was on her way to lunch, walking with her head down and hair covering her face.
Britney hated being a werewolf, hated having a nasty scar on her face, and hated that she wasn't like the other girls, pretty and well liked. Most people made fun of her, she had few real friends, and she was pretty sure the only reason Rigel, Ginny and Harry were nice to her was because of Teddy. Luna and Tiffany were her only real friends. Why would anyone want to be friends with someone like her.
Britney hugged her Defense Against the Dark Arts book to her and walked on down the hall. Trying not to be noticed, because if she was the name calling would begin. But the gang of older Slytheirns standing in the hall spotted her and the barking and howling began, so Britney began to walk faster.
"Here, doggie, doggie." One Slytherin boy called.
"Stop calling me that!" Britney turned to the Slytherin and yelled. "I am not a dog!"
"Oh, the doggie is getting mad." The Slytherin's friend laughed. Britney growled, then tossed her book at him, it hit the Slytherin right in the eye, he grabbed it and looked at her through the other eye in shock. His friends took a step toward her and she went running down the hall, she turned a corner and dropped to her knees crying. Why did kids have to be so mean. If Teddy had been there they wouldn't have made fun of her, he would have cursed them all. Tiffany would have gotten smart with them and told them off.
"Britney." A voice said, then a hand landed on her shoulder making her jump. She looked up to see Ron Weasley standing above her. "You all right?"
"I'm fine." Britney said, ducking her head. Ron knelt in front of her and held out her books.
"I don't know if you realized it, but you dropped your book." He grinned, trying to show her he was joking, Britney smiled a little and reached out and took her books.
"Thanks." Britney mumbled.
"I saw what happened." Ron said. "Don't let them get to you. They only make fun of you because they have no life of their own."
"I wish they would pick on someone else." Britney mumbled.
"I know." Ron said. "I get picked on too."
"You do?" Britney asked. Ron nodded with a grin.
"I'm a Weasley." He explained. "There is no bigger blood-trader family than mine." Britney smiled a little more. "But after what you did to Nott, I would say he will be walking around with a nasty black eye soon."
"Is that who he was." Britney asked. "Teddy can't stand him."
"Who can." Ron said, Britney laughed a little.
"Come on, let's go eat lunch." Ron said, standing up and reaching a hand down to help Britney up, but she didn't take it.
"I'm not really hungry." Britney said.
"Nonsense." Ron said. "Come on, you can sit at the Gryffindor table with me." Britney stared at Ron's hand for a moment, then reached up and slipped her hand in his, Ron grinned and helped Britney to her feet. "Come on, I'm starving." He said leading her to the Great Hall, he even reached over and took her book and carried it for her.
Patches of bright blue sky were beginning to appear over the castle, but these signs of approaching spring did not life Harry's bad mood. He had been thwarted, both in his attempts to find out what Mafloy was doing, and in his efforts to start a conversation with Slughorn that might lead, somehow to Slughorn handing over the memory Dumbledore thought was so important.
"Baby, you need to cheer up." Ginny said, it was night; the first warm night they've had, and Ginny and Harry were in the Forbidden Forest, Harry was hunting Magical Creatures and Ginny decided to come along and keep him company. "Tomorrow is Hogsmeade weekend, we'll finally get to look at Rigel's book and find out just what the heck a Horcrux is."
"Yeah, that's supposed to cheer me up." Harry mumbled, tossing a small creature aside, then wiped the blood from his mouth. Ginny rolled her eyes.
"Well, we just have a week and you and I will be leaving Hogwarts, heading to your place on Easter Break." Ginny smiled. Ginny had told her parents she was staying in school for the Easter Holiday so she could go to Harry's clan house with him, so they could have some time alone together. She didn't like lying to her parents, but it was the only way she could go. Anyway, that got Harry grinning.
"You still have to get the memory from Slughorn even if we do find out what Horcruxes is." Ginny said, making the grin disappear from Harry's face. "We still have to find out how they're connected to Voldemort and how we can use that to stop him."
"I know." Harry looked down. A few days ago Dumbldore had showed him another memory, this time one of a young Tom Riddle working in Knuckturn Ally, and killed some old witch who owned a Goblet owned by Helga Hufflepuff and a Locket that belonged to Slytherin, Voldemort had killed her for the locket and cup, and framed her poor house-elf. "I just can't figure out how, I don't want to have to threaten the memory out of him."
"No, that wouldn't be right." Ginny sighed. "We'll think of something, maybe we can try after the break, maybe Slughorn will get in a better mood after getting a break away from teaching."
"Hopefully." Harry mumbled. He thought he heard something and turned to look, as his attention was off to the side, a large giant spider web came down, wrapped it's self around Ginny and lifted her off the ground and into the tree, making her scream.
"Ginny!" Harry cried, jumping to his feet, he ran toward the tree and climbed all the way to the top, but Ginny was nowhere to be seen, just a long large white spider web. Which Harry ran across and followed, jumping from tree to tree, until he finally heard Ginny shouting out his name, he came upon her stuck in a giant web, hanging in midair between two trees. A web wrapped around her. Harry hurried over to her, running across the web.
"You alright?" Harry demanded, dropping to his knees next to her, and started to pull the web off her, having to do it string by string.
"Yes," Ginny said. "Just hurry and get me out of her, before that thing comes back."
"Where'd it go?" Harry asked, pulling on the string, he almost had Ginny free.
"I have no idea." Ginny said. "It tangled me up here, then ran off somewhere. And to be truthful, I don't really care, just get me free."
"I am." Harry said. "You don't have to worry, I won't let anything hurt you." The only thing tying Ginny now was a thick string of web around her ankle.
"I know you won't." Ginny said, reaching her hands down trying to help Harry get her ankle free. Suddenly Ginny paused and looked up fearfully. "Harry, behind you!"
Harry spun around to come face to face with three giant spiders, he showed no fear at all. as he just stood in front of Ginny, brought out his claws and gave a big hiss. There was no way these monsters were getting anywhere near Ginny.
For a long moment Harry and the spiders just stood there staring each other down. Harry hissed, bringing out his fangs, eye turning yellow, he was going into vampire mode. The giant spiders just stood there, watching with their four pairs of eyes. Any other time Harry would have found that creepy, but now that he was a vampire, there was nothing he found as creepy.
The spiders on each side was about the size of a large dog, not as big as they can get, so they were probably still young, the one in the middle was a bit bigger about the size of a small pony. Still not as big as they can get, but big enough.
Harry held his hands out at his side, and gave a hiss in warning, behind him Ginny tugged on her ankle trying to free it. They were all still standing or in Ginny's case sitting in the middle of a giant web about nineteen feet in the air.
The spider on the left suddenly jumped at Harry without warning, but Harry was faster and with one quick move, the spider was falling dead to the ground. Then the one on the right jumped at Harry, he dodged it, then brought his hand around and got him to, its dead body fall to the ground next to the first. The biggest spider the one in the middle was the last. And Harry figured wouldn't be so easy to kill.
The last spider came at Harry, he dodged out of the way, but then got his arm stuck in part of the web. Harry looked up and what he saw would have made his heart stop; if vampire's hearts still beat that was. The spider decided to ignore Harry in favor of Ginny, he had reared back on its legs going at her with its large fangs, Ginny screamed out and covered her head trying to back away as fast as she could.
Harry let out a hiss like growl, jumped up and ran toward Ginny, he jumped on the spider's back as it was reared back and wrapped his arms around his neck, the spider tried to shack him off with no luck, and with one swift movement he snapped its neck, pulling its head off. The body fell to the ground, as Harry tossed its head down to it. He stood there a moment looking down at the three spider bodies, before walking back to the girl he loved.
"You alright?" Harry asked. Ginny nodded.
"I'm fine, Baby, just please get me loss and let's go." Ginny said. "Before more come." Harry knelt next to her, took his claws that was still out and cut the web off her ankle, being careful not to cut Ginny's leg. He then stood and without a word, lifted Ginny up and tossed her over his shoulder and went jumping back from tree to tree, till he got back to where they were. He then jumped to the ground and carried Ginny all the way back to the castle.
Harry didn't put her down until he reached the Room of Requirement, then he sat Ginny on the bed and instantly started checking her over for injuries.
"Harry, I told you I'm fine." Ginny said. Harry smiled at her and down on the bed next to her.
"I was just checking to be sure." Harry said. "It scared me half to death when that freaking spider took you."
"You were scared?" Ginny asked, rasing en eyebrow. "I was the one tangled in a giant web above the ground." Harry snickered and he leaned and kissed Ginny, she wrapped her arms around Harry's neck and deepened the kiss, as they kissed Harry laid Ginny, gently down on the bed, and climbed on top of her.
The next morning after everyone headed off to Hogsmeade Harry and Ginny made their way up to Gryffindor Towers. Told the fat lady the password, then ignoring the looks from a few second and third years they headed up to Rigel and Teddy's dorm. Harry knocked lightly on the door and then opened and went in without waiting for an answer.
"You took long enough." Rigel said, without looking up. He was sitting in the middle of his bed flipping through a very old book, the curtains opened, one even almost hanging down in the floor, Teddy was in his bed across from him sitting on the edge, he just grinned at the two.
"Blame Ginny." Harry said, sitting next to Teddy. "She's the one that took her time helping Britney get ready."
"Helping Britney get ready for what?" Teddy frowned.
"Her date to Hogsmeade today." Ginny said, sitting on the edge of Rigel's bed. "She asked me to fix her hair and do her make up." Teddy narrowed his eyes.
"What date?" He demanded. "Who with?" Ginny glared at him.
"I am not telling you it is none of your business." Ginny said.
"Of course it it." Teddy said. "Britney is too young to date anyone." Ginny rolled her eyes.
"Um..Ted," Harry said. "You do realize Britney is the same age that Luna was when you took her to the Yule Ball."
"Luna isn't my little sister." Was Teddy's answer to that. Rigel snorted.
"Thank Merlin for that." He said. "Wouldn't want you to fall into the Black Family tradition."
"Trouble, that's gross." Ginny said, making a face. Rigel just smirked.
"We have more important things to be talking about anyway." Rigel said, holding up the book. "I couldn't fall asleep last night so I looked through this book while everyone was sleeping, and I have found out what a Horcrux is and believe me it isn't good."
"Nothing Voldemort does is good." Harry said, "so anyway what are they?"
"A Horcrux is an object that someone has taking part of their soul and put it inside it." Rigel said. The other three frowned at him.
"It's...what?" Teddy demanded, Rigel rolled his eyes.
"This book tells all about them." Rigel said, he opened the book and flipped it till her got to a page he had marked. "An Horcrux is almost like a host, but isn't a living thing, just an object, someone had taking parting of their soul and put it in there for safe keeping."
"But how could someone put part of their soul in an object?" Harry asked.
"But splitting it into." Rigel said. "Using very dark magic the darkest magic there is out there, this chapter even crept me out."
"But that still doesn't explain how someone would split their soul?" Ginny said.
"By doing something so cruel, so evil that your soul splits." Rigel said. "And that is only one thing."
"What's that?" Harry asked.
"Cold Blooded murder." Rigel said. "To do something like that it splits your soul in half, and with a few dark spells you can put one have in an object, which would become the Horcrux and the other half stays in you."
"But why would someone even do that?" Ginny demanded.
"It's the closest thing there is to make yourself immortal." Rigel said, with half a glance toward Harry. "I mean besides becoming a vampire and even they have things that can kill them, the sun, fire, just to name a couple, but if you have Horcrux and something was to hurt you, then you still live as long as the Horcrux is fine, your body can be destroyed, but you live on unless the Horcrux is destroyed."
Harry hissed in anger and got up and punched on hole in the wall of the dorm. Making Ginny and his two friends jump started.
"Bloody hell, how are we going to explain that?" Teddy frowned.
"Don't you see." Harry cried. "Voldemort most have one, that's why Dumbldore thinks Slughorn's memory is so important to get. That's how he survived the killing curse being blasted back at him, his body was destroyed, but since he had a Horcrux out there he wasn't. I lost my Mum and Dad, while something like that keeps living, it's not fair."
Ginny got up and went over to him, and wrapped her arms around Harry. "We know, Baby, we know." She said soothingly. "Just calm down, Voldemort will get what's coming to him."
"How?" Harry demanded. "You heard Rigel, as long as the Horcrux is around Voldemort can't be killed, he'll just keep coming back if we try."
"As long as the Horcrux is around." Ginny repeated, she turned to Rigel. "Kill the Horcrux we can kill Voldemort, right."
"Yes," Rigel said, he flipped through the book again. "This book even says how, but the problem is, I don't think Voldemort made one."
"Oh, Bloody Hell," Teddy said. "You're going to say he made more than one aren't you?" Harry growled and hit his head against Rigel's bedpost.
"Well, this book isn't clear on how many someone can make." Rigel said. "And as far as it knows everyone who ever dared tried, which hasn't been many-"
"I would think not." Teddy said.
"My point is." Rigel said, ignoring Teddy. "Out of the few who have, they all have only made one. But when looking through this book, I remembered something Harry said Voldemort told him when he came back."
"That he has gone further than anyone else on the path to be immortal." Harry said, "or something like that."
"Yep," Rigel said. "And that's why we need to get that memory from Slughorn, I bet whatever is in it, he knows how many they are and maybe even what they are."
"And Dumbledore couldn't just come out and explain this to me." Harry said. "Instead of wasting time showing me all those useless memories, he couldn't just explain this and then tell me about the memory we need to get from Slughorn."
"Dumbledore always has to do things the hard way." Teddy said. "He never gives straight answers about anything. He's like the freaking doorknocker on the Ravenclaw common room down, nothing but riddles and clues."
"I'm sure Dumbldore has his reasons." Ginny said, sitting down on Rigel's bed and grabbing Harry's arm and making him sit next to her.
"It's like the old saying goes." Rigel said. "Keep your friends close and your enemies closer."
"Um, what?" Teddy demanded.
"Look, the best way to defeat an enemy is to learn a lot about him." Rigel said. "The more you learn, the more his weakness you find. I believe that's what Dumbldore is trying to do by showing Harry these memories."
"You said the Horcrux can be destroyed." Ginny asked. "How?"
"These book explains how." Rigel said, flipping through it again, every time he did he gave the book a look that suggested it called him a bad name. "There isn't many ways to kill a Horcrux. "The more I read about them, the more horrible they seemed, and this comes from someone like me, so that should tell you how awful these Horcrux things are."
"Is there any way to put yourself back together?" Teddy asked.
"Only one, and it's very painful." Rigel said.
"What's that?" Harry asked.
"Remorse." Rigel said. "You have to really feel what you have done. There is a footnote. Apparently, the pain of it can destroy you. I can't see Voldemort feeling remorse for anything, do you?"
"No," Harry said. "So how do we destroy the things?"
"This book warns Dark wizards how strong they have to make the enchantments on them. From all that I've read, it has to be something so destructive that the Horcrux can't repair itself. There is only a few things, but they are all dangerous to carry around. That's a problem we're going to have to solve, there is also Fienfye, I know the spells for it, but never used them, and it can get a bit out of control, so I think that would be out, unless we have no other way, because you have to destroy it beyond magical repair." Rigel closed the book and sit it aside.
"I've done a lot of thinking." Rigel said. "About Riddle's Dairy that Ron had, and I think it was a Horcrux."
"What?" Ginny demanded. "Are you saying there is a chance my little brother had his hands on something that had a part of Voldemort's soul in it?"
"Yes," Rigel said, and Ginny shuddered, Harry put his arm around her. "I think it is a real big possibility, so that means one of Voldemort's Horcrux has already been destroyed and we know what destroyed."
"Basilisk venom." Harry said. "It is so strong the only thing that can heal it is Phoenix tears." He frowned in thought for a minute.
"It's lucky we all have pet basilisk then and the venom is easy to come by." Teddy said.
"We may not need basilisk venom." Harry said. "If that's strong enough maybe my venom will work."
"Your venom?" Teddy asked. Harry rolled his eyes and pointed at one of his fangs. "Oh, right."
"But well that venom destroy the Horcrux or make it stronger like it does humans." Rigel asked. "I'll need to do a bit more research before we know for sure, but, Harry, my friend, you might finally come in handy."
"Ha...ha." Harry said. "So, while you do your research we need to get that memory from Slughorn, it's our only hope at finding out how many Horcrux Voldemort has, and hopefully, find out what they are and where they are."
"Hopefully." Ginny said.
"I think our best chances of getting that memory is to let Slughorn alone for a while." Rigel said. "Give him time to forget I asked about Horcrux, then ask him again, maybe after the Easter Holiday."
"Yeah." Harry nodded. "Gin, and I were thinking the same thing too." They all fall silent for a moment, then Teddy suddenly stood.
"Well, now that we got all that settled, I am off to Hogsmeade." He announced, Ginny frowned at him and pulled out her wand and pointed it at him.
"I do not think you are." She said.
"What?" Teddy said. "I just want to go to Honeydukes."
"Do you think I am stupid" Ginny demanded. "You just want to go spying on your sister. You leave Britney alone, she had a right to have friends."
"She's too young to have a boyfriend." Teddy said. "She's just going to get hurt."
"No she's not." Ginny said. "Teddy, I know who she went to Hogsmeade with and believe me, he won't hurt her."
"How do you know that?" Teddy demanded.
"Because I know the boy pretty well." Ginny said, standing up, and putting her wand away. "Plus I threatened him if he did." She turned and walked out of the dorm.
"Then who is it?" Teddy demanded, following her, Harry and Rigel looked at each other and rolled their eyes before standing and following after them.
That Monday Harry was late for Defense Against the Dark Arts class, because he had tried and failed once again at trying to get into the Room of Requirement to see what Malfoy was doing.
"Late, Potter." Snape said coldly, as Harry hurried into the classroom and rushed to his seat in between Teddy and Ginny. "Ten points from Ravenclaw." Harry scowled as he sat in his seat, half the class were still on their feet, taking out books and organizing their things.
"Where were you." Ginny demanded, then held up her hand when Harry opened his mouth. "Never mind, I don't want to know."
"Before we start, I want your dementor essays," said Snape, waving his wand so twenty scrolls of parchment soared into the air and landed in a neat pile on his desk. "And I hope for your sakes they are better than the tripe I had to endure on resisting the Imperius Curse. Now, if you will all open your books to page-what is it ?"
"Sir," said Dean. "I've been wondering, how do you tell the difference between an Inferius and ghost? Because there was something in the paper about an Inferius-"
"No there wasn't." Snape said.
"But sir, I heard people talking-"
"If you had actually read the article in question, Mr. Thomas, you would have known that the so-called Inferius was nothing but a smelly sneak thief by the name of Mundungus Fletcher, pretending to be a Inferious so he could rob someone."
"Snape probably gave him the idea." Rigel leaned over and whispered to the others, making them snicker.
"Black seems to have a lot to say on the subject," said Snape, pointing suddenly at the back of the room, his black eyes fixed on Rigel. "Let us ask Black how we would tell the difference between an Inferius and a ghost."
The whole class looked around at Rigel, who glared at them till they turned away, he then looked up at Snape.
"A ghost is a transparent spirit of some who had dead." Rigel started, but Snape cut in.
"Oh, very good." He said, lip curling. "Yes, it is easy to see that nearly six years of magical education have not been wasted on you, Black. 'Ghost are transparent' A five year-old could have told us that much." The Slytherins in the room giggled, and laughed, Rigel glared at Snape so hard that Harry was surprised he didn't back up a few steps. "The Inferius is a corpse that has been reanimated by a Dark wizard's spell, it is not alive, it is merly used like a puppet to do a wizard bidding-"
"Kind of like you and the rest of Voldemort's puppets called Death Eaters, right." Rigel demanded. "If you hadn't interrupted me, smartass, I would have got to telling the same thing you just did. "And so you'd know, ghost aren't alive either, they are the imprint of a departed soul left upon the earth."
"And apparently, they are transparent." Snape sneered.
"Well, that's good to know if we are trying to tell them apart." Teddy spoke up for his friend. "When we come face to face with one down a dark ally, we're not going to be able to see if it's solid, aren't we, we're not going to be asking, 'Excuse me, are you the imprint of a departed soul?"
There was a ripple of laughter, mostly from Harry, Rigel, and Ginny, but the rest of the class's laughing was quelled by the look Snape gave the class. "Detention all four of you." He snapped at Teddy, Rigel, Ginny, and Harry. "And ten points each from all four of your houses."
"No," Ginny whispered, grabbing Harry's arm as he hissed softly and went to stand. "There is no point, you'll just get in trouble."
"Now open your books to page two hundred and thirteen," said Snape, smirking a little at Harry, who hissed, showing him his fangs. "and read the first two paragraphs on the Cruciatus Cruse..."
Harry was in a bad mood the rest of class and after it he had followed Teddy and Rigel to the boy's bathroom, grumbling about Snape and how he was like to rip his throat out.
"Who wouldn't?" Rigel demanded.
"Well, just don't let him get to you." Teddy said. "You can't afford to lose it because of Snape." Teddy had been in a good mood ever since he past the Apparation test and was now legally able to Apparate.
Suddenly the ghost of a girl risen out of the toilet in a cubicle behind them and was now floating in midair, staring at them through thick, white round glasses. She made both Harry and Teddy jump, but Rigel just looked up from splashing water on his face and said.
"Myrtle, this is the boy's bathroom."
"Oh, I just thought you were someone else." Myrtle said, glancing toward the door. "He said he'd come back and see me."
"Who?" Teddy asked.
"I thought you lived in the girl's bathroom." Harry frowned.
"I do." Myrtle said. "But it doesn't mean I can't visit other places, he said he liked me. Maybe if you three left. he'd come back again...We had lots in common."
"When you say you have lots in common." Teddy asked. "Do you mean he lived in the toilet too." Harry and Rigel started laughing, and Myrtle glared at all three.
"No," she snapped. "I mean he's sensitive, people bully him, too, and he feels so lonely, and hasn't got anyone to talk too and isn't afraid to show his feelings and cry."
"A boy has been in here crying." Teddy asked.
"Never you mind." Myrtle demanded and turned and dived back into the toilet.
"Come on, guys, we'll be late for our next class." Harry said. Leading them out of the bathroom.
"Wonder what boy has come in here crying?" Teddy asked.
"Probably Snape, over his awful hair." Rigel said, making both Harry and Teddy burst out into laughter.
To Harry and Ginny's great pleasure the week went by fast, and before they knew it it was time for the Easter Break, but because of the sun, Harry once again had to go out hidden beneath a big thick rob, wich got him weird looks because of the warm weather. Rigel and Teddy had stayed behind at school, and so did Ron, Ginny had blackmailed him into being quiet about where she was going, he agreed to keep his mouth shut and not rat Ginny out if she kept her's shut and not tell Teddy he was the one who took his sister to Hogsmeade on a date.
Harry and Ginny got a compartment to themselves, they rode mostly in silence, just happy to be sitting together wrapped in each other's arms. When they arrived at the train station night had fallen, so Harry didn't have to hide under his rob and just stuffed it into his trunk. He grabbed both his and Ginny's trunks and carried them off the train, Ginny following behind him, there wasn't very many people here, most students stay at Hogwarts during the holiday, Harry and Ginny use to be two who did, but they had wanted to spend time together and Harry wanted to show her his new house and wing.
When they stepped off the train Harry and Ginny got a surprise, Harry's four big friends were waiting on him as he stepped off of the train, Mark and Nate rushed forward to take the trunks Harry was carrying, which annoyed Harry a little bit, but he really didn't mind on that much since it left his hand fee to hold Ginny's.
"Go to see you, Boss." Mark said, right before Christmas break ended, since Harry was so set on no being called my lord, Mark and his friends started calling him boss, Harry didn't care much for that either, but at least it didn't make him think of Voldemort, and let them by with it.
"It's good to see you guys too." Harry said, with a smile. "You remember Ginny, right." Harry laid his hand on Ginny's back, gently pushing her forward a little.
"Of course." Jeff grinned. "How could we forget." He winked at her, making Harry glare at him, which only made Jeff laugh. "It's so easy to get you mad." He laughed again as he took the lead out of the station.
That night Harry and Ginny stayed in, when his friends asked if he was going out, Harry refused, saying he wanted alone time with Ginny, and right now they were on the couch in Harry's living room with their arms wrapped around each other. Harry's teeth in Ginny's neck, her head was leaned back and her eyes were closed, a soft moan escaping her lips.
Harry pulled his teeth out of Ginny's neck, licked the wound, then picked her up and carried her into the bedroom, shutting the door with his foot. He was going to enjoy his break with Ginny.
A.N. I'm ending the chapter there, sorry if it wasn't very good, but something exciting will happen in the next.
