I'm sorry this has taken so long. It's been a bit of a write a bit and ponder it. Along with a crazy life style of everything happening at once.

I hope you enjoy this part, it has quite a bit in it.

I don't own the characters, I'm just borrowing them to make them do as I wish for hopefully your entertainment.

Harry left George talking to some cousins and Ron. They were talking about things they had done as kids and once again Harry had no idea what they were going on about being brought up by muggles.

Hermione had left with him, after they got a little sick of being looked at like they were mad or deprived because they hadn't done the same things.

"Jeez, you don't see us hassling Ron all the time because he never saw the same programs on TV we did growing up or has never been on a plane." She commented with a slightly frustrated tone as they walked towards where Ginny was talking to Alicia.

Harry had to shrug his shoulders. "Well I've never been on a plane either. But as I don't really like the feeling of travelling by floo, sitting in a chair relaxing while someone else flys the plane sounds quiet a nice way to get somewhere."

Hermione sighed. "Sorry I forget you were brought up by that awful family or yours. You know I'm tempted to make Ron fly back from Australia with me and my parents."

Harry nodded. "So you are both still going the day after the memorial service?" Harry asked wondering just what it would be like not to have his two best friends around all the time especially after the last year.

Hermione answered. "Yeah. I don't think Molly and Arthur are pleased with the thought. But Ron pretty much told them he would never leave me again." She smiled like it was the most romantic thing.

Harry wanted to pretend to puke. But stopped himself, he had to admit things seemed to be a lot easier now that Hermione and Ron were finally open about their feelings for each other. At least he didn't feel like he was constantly in the middle wanting to lock them in a room while yelling at them 'just admit you're in love with each other.'

"So he's planning on returning to school with you for his NEWTS?" Harry asked with a smirk.

Hermione shook her head. "I think he might part with me for that. But he will know where I am then. Going to the other side of the world without him, well he doesn't like that idea at all."

Harry smirked adding. "Because we never really had any life threatening experiences at Hogwarts for Ron to worry about you being there without him."

Hermione smiled at Harry. "I sort of haven't pointed that out to Ron. I want him to make up his own mind about finishing school. Not base it on me. Even if I would prefer he was there." Hermione took a breath. "What about you? Are you coming back to school? You always wanted to be an Auror?" She questioned.

Harry sighed. "I don't know. It's all a bit much to think about at the moment. McGonnagall says she's working out a plan for a lot of us so that it won't be so hard. She even said something about the ones who have done most of the year might be able to sit their exams earlier. I bet you could get straight O's doing that."

"Oh, know I haven't studied for the last year. I would need the whole year." Hermione exclaimed. Harry felt like he could see the clogs turning in her head about how much work she wanted to put into her NEWTS.

Harry just smiled at her. "Sure you would."

By this stage they had arrived at where Ginny was sitting with Alicia who was still looking very pale.

"Hey." Ginny nodded at Harry. "We're watching the drama with Lee unfold." She nodded to where Lee was talking fast and waving his hands at Katie and Angelina a few metres away from where they were sitting.

Alicia sniffed. "I know Fred was a little worried about Lee and George finding out about us at first. But he was trying to tell George for ages." She shook her head. "I can't believe Lee is taking it so bad."

"I think Lee may have been trying to stick to some rules Fred laid down a few years ago, and maybe isn't too happy to found out Fred was the one breaking them." Harry muttered continuing to watch what was going on.

Angelina interrupted Lee by placing a hand on his arm and saying something to try and calm him down. Whatever it was Lee turned on her and exclaimed. "I can't believe you went along with this. Do you know what it's done to George this year? Do you? He thinks you are grieving for Fred because you and Fred had something going on again."

Alicia gasped. "Oh no, no wonder George would cover his ears and sing loudly every time Fred tried to tell him about us or mention Angelina's name. Both our names start with A."

Harry raised his eyebrows thinking man I thought just dating my best friend's little sister and my two best friends being in love with each other was bad enough. Glancing back over Harry saw Katie speaking back to Lee with an angry face poking him in the chest as she spoke. He could just make out the words. "At least Fred had the guts to go after what he wanted in life."

To which Lee just glared back at her before taking a step towards her, grabbing the back of her head with one hand and her waist with the other pulling her in for what Harry could only describe as a darn good snog.

"And that would be why Lee's so pissed off. He's wanted to do that for quite some time." Harry turned back to Alicia. "The twins and Lee agreed after you started going out with Lee in their 6th year that they would never again date anyone that one of them had already dated. It was Fred's idea. Lee and George have been sticking with it. As you can see it's probably kept those two apart for quite some time."

"Which would be the reason Fred kept you two a secret." Hermione sighed looking back at Alicia.

"I'm still trying to get my head around the fact that the twins would keep anything from each other." Ginny said looking at Alicia. Harry couldn't help but notice that they were all sneaking looks back at Lee and Katie every now and then. Who had finally broken away from the long snog and Lee was now holding her too him like he would never let go while whispering in her ear.

Angelina had walked away to sit on her own, going back to what Harry had started to think of in his head of her continual watching of George looking a lot like she had the day before after her conversation with George.

"I feel even worse now." Alicia broke into a fresh wave of tears. "Katie's been complaining forever that Lee doesn't seem to take any of her hints."

Ginny placed an arm around the crying girl while Hermione took a seat on the other side of her. Harry feeling very uncomfortable excused himself. "I think I'll go and catch up with some others."

Harry had been talking to Neville, Luna and Denis when there was a loud noise and a cloud of green iridescent gas seemed to form above them and as it cleared Harry could see out of the wards clearly to the crowd still waiting at the entrance and the Auror's guarding it. He automatically grabbed his wand and glanced Ginny's way to see her and Hermione already standing holding theirs. Gasps could be heard and Harry saw Kingsley and some of his team working, a few spells were cast and it was clear that the wards had fallen.

Kingsley gave an order for the elderly and young to be protected before glancing around him worriedly, and setting his eyes on Harry. But before he could give anymore orders the swishing sounds or fast brooms whizzing above their heads yet flying low could be heard.

Harry felt like it was all going in slow motion as he saw the flyers of the brooms empty sacks they were holding into the crowd before zooming off and up high into the air. Harry went to Accio his broom then remembered he no longer had his firebolt. Swearing to himself he knew there was no way he would ever catch up to the escaping brooms with one of the Weasley's old brooms.

But then he heard a laugh. "Oh George, you gave us a fright, look it's just some of your products."

Harry saw some other people around him starting to pick up some screaming yoyo's, fake wands and dungbombs.

"George Weasley. Just what do you think you are playing at?" Molly started on one of her lectures.

Harry looked to George who had picked up a yoyo in his hand and looked like he was weighing it while looking far to confused for a joke he had planned. He then looked up at Ron who was standing next to him. "This isn't one of our products."

Hermione gasped, and a few others who still thought it was a joke went to flick the wands and use the screaming yoyo's as Hermione yelled. "Stop, everyone drop them."

But it was too slow and the screams didn't come from the yoyo's but from the few who had spun them. Then bright red lights shot out from the wands and like a laser burned wherever they hit.

"Replace the wards, and now." Kingsley yelled. "Re-secure the area."

Headmistress McGonagall and Hermione along with Professor Slughorn were working hard to cast spells that put out the what Harry could only describe as lasers coming from the wands. People dropped the yoyo's quickly when they saw the first people who had grabbed the string to use them now suffering from what looked like a fast spreading skin disease.

"Well at least no one's silly enough to let off the stink bombs." Neville commented, as Harry quickly made his way to where Ginny was kneeling beside a distant cousin who was holding his arm clearly in pain as his skin turned from a normal colour to what Harry could only think of something that looked more like an old flaky piece of blue cheese.

But Neville's comment came too soon as the stink bombs must have been timed to go off all at once. Not only did they smell, but let out Instant Darkness Powder. Throwing everyone into even more confusion, Harry dropped to his knees calling for Ginny to make sure she was alright, but he was sure his voice was lost in the sounds of everyone else calling out different things.

"George, How long does this darkness stuff work for?" Kingsley could be heard demanding over the noise. Harry was sure he must have magnified his voice so as to be heard.

"I can't say for sure, I don't know how much it's been altered." George screamed back. "Everyone stay still why I try and clear it." Harry wasn't sure anyone but those who knew George's voice would have been able to make out what he said. So much was drowned out by other voices and panicked people.

But sure enough whatever it was that George did worked, and the darkness cleared too many sighs of relief. Harry crawled the last few feet to Ginny and her cousin. "You stay with him I'll see if I can find Madame Pomfrey." Harry declared, noticing that the moldy skin was now creeping up to the shoulder. He gave Ginny's arm a quick squeeze before standing up.

Glancing around he found the old Hogwarts healer fast she was already in deep discussion with Kingsley as they inspected another person suffering from the skin condition. He was almost there when Molly pushed past him, with McGonagall close behind her.

"We can't heal the burns Kingsley. In fact they seem to get worse when we try." She interrupted. Madame Pomfrey in mid sentence.

"I agree, it's beyond my knowledge, and Poppy there is no way you could deal with all of these people hurt." McGonagall added.

Madame Pomfrey pulled herself up straight. "I dealt with a lot more after the Battle Minerva."

Harry knowing he would have no immediate help turned to look around and access just how many people were injured. He was relieved to find out it wasn't more than 20 and most of them already had people gathered around them for support.

He counted off the Weasley immediate family, thankful beyond relief that they and Hermione were safe. Then sort out DA members. Lavender had clearly tried to use a yoyo and the Patel twins were watching over her. Dean Thomas didn't look too good either. He had must been struck by one of the laser like rays of which Hermione was still running around putting out the odd fake wand still beaming. Seamus stood with Dean and Luna had clearly joined him looking at Dean's wound and talking at the same time in her sing song voice. Harry had the distinct feeling she wasn't at all helping as Dean was starring at her in unbelief while he turned paler by the second.

"Wards are up sir." An Auror called jogging up to Kingsley. "I've send O'Riley to check on the floo through to St Mungo's."

Harry turned back to look at Kingsley, and saw him nod at the Auror before saying. "I think that would be best. We'll floo the injured there, and …."

Harry didn't stay to hear the rest but jogged back to Ginny to give her the news and assist her in helping people to the house.

As Kingsley started to yell out the instructions for those who were injured and needed help to move towards the house and the floo, and any unable to move should wait for Madame Pomfrey to assist. There was loud whistling sound as a lone dungbomb flew about 8 foot in the air and exploded in a bright orange writing. "Don't think it's over Blood Traitors."

Please R&R.

I would really like to know what you think of this part, it will help me work out how far I want to take this fic.

Thanks.
