A/N: I will be taking a small hiatus so I can work on my other fan fiction. I will try write both but my mind is messed up at the moment so I might end up adding Pokémon stuff on here by accident. I'll try being as fast as possible. Also thank you all 11,808 views since August.
Chapter Twenty Seven: The First Game and Argument
It quickly passed through summer and Harry had been able to spend it with his family and friends devising special ways to locate the Limbo Gate and to see if Voldemort had broken out. He had also celebrated his twentieth birthday a special birthday in the Wizarding World known as the Wand Birthday, where Harry's wand would fully combine with him and lent its power always. He was still suffering the loss of the Elder Wand and understood giving the stone to Teddy was a great idea. His mother gave birth on Halloween which made the day a happy one now for the Potters instead of a day of sorrow, Maria Potter named after her maternal grandmother was the image of a Potter her redhead hair and hazel eyes made her an image of her parents almost a mirror of Harry.
"Sir…we have the new D.A Defence Force ready for you to sign off on." Michael said handing him the list.
"Thanks Michael so…the first task of the Tri-wizard is being held this month any plans?" Harry asked him knowing Michael liked to push himself through his weaknesses and turn them to strengths.
"Use my training to my advantage and try to beat the competition sir." Michael said practising wand movements and his non-verbal magic.
"Good plan indeed young Gryffindor." Godric's portrait said bowing to Michael.
Harry then left to prepare for the party, it was soon to be Abi's first birthday and everyone was excited for the little baby's first cake and presents none more so than Harry and Ginny. He was assigned to go to the bakery which now had expanded to a chain with several shops one luckily in Hogsmeade and the cake was being prepared, Harry thought of all the problems the last few months had created…he and Dumbledore had to tell the wizarding population of England that Umbridge had christened herself the new Dark Mistress and that efforts were being made to capture her, he also thought of the strain the war was having on his marriage, he and Ginny had begun arguing after the battle at the lake and Harry knew it was mostly his fault since losing the Elder Wand he felt useless…his old wand was good but the Elder Wand gave the Corps an advantage over Umbridge's followers, he had also thought of how Bellatrix was back from the dead meaning someone had access to the veil.
"Hello Mr. Potter, how is you today?" A small elf asked.
"Fine Dai and yourself?" Harry asked he liked Dai he was a new elf in Hogwarts and treated Harry with more respect than most teachers.
"Fine sir, Dai is just cleaning this portrait sir." The elf said rubbing it with a small cloth and humming to his self.
Harry began walking towards to the lake it was finally the day he could go home for Christmas to relax and plan the Corps next move. He had thought of pursuing Umbridge but quickly realised it would be suicide as she had the Elder Wand and trained followers while the Corps was learning all the time. He then thought of using the Cloak as a way to get the wand but realised that losing it would leave him only with Teddy's Stone and he needed to make sure for now he held at least the other Hallows.
"Mr. Potter sir…we have a new situation." Tasha said she was the Auror bodyguard sent to make sure Harry was alright.
"Tasha it is Harry…not Mr. Potter." Harry said laughing. "Now what's the situation?"
"Holyhead sir…Ginny is playing tomorrow and you need to get there by then." Tasha said trying not to laugh as Harry knew that Ginny has ordered Tasha to spy on him for her.
"Shit…I forgot she's going to kill me if I don't hurry." Harry said whistling and within moments Buckbeak appeared and he was off in a shot to Holyhead to see his wife play her debut match.
Meanwhile at Holyhead Ginny was in her dressing room worrying about Harry, although they were arguing she loved him more than life itself and was just sick of his sadness over losing the Elder Wand, she knew it meant a disadvantage to the Corps but Harry was always good without it, she was concerned about the amount of time he spent working on plans for the Corps.
"Ginny we got word Harr is on the way, on a Hippogriff no less." Gwenog said laughing at the idea of a Hippogriff coming to the stadium.
"Ok he'll be here tomorrow perfect…and his mom has the kids and she's coming, my mom and dad and my brothers their wives and girlfriends, I'm going to be sick." Ginny said swaying side to side.
"Ha-ha ah to be young again, here this will help." Gwenog said casting a spell on Ginny. "There…better now?"
"Yeah…perfect." Ginny said feeling perfect. "What was that spell?"
"A relaxing charm…it will off tomorrow, you can't use them to much though." Gwenog said looking at Ginny's happy face and smiling.
"Why not, it is amazing."
"Addiction is something that can happen Gin…we lost two players last season to the spell, I only use it when I need to."
"I see, well I won't abuse it I promise."
"Gin, I only done it for you this time, NEVER again Gin…please."
"Ok Gwen, I won't."
Harry had finally reached Holyhead by the time the spell wore off and was amazed to see the team all talking strategy, he missed Quidditch and knew that he needed to watch a game or two to relax him and knew that his kids were there and his parents and sister and in-laws so it would be a nice day. He flew Buckbeak to the stables provided and went to his seat to relax and was surprised to see everyone waiting on him, Lily and Molly looking amused at his rushed demeanour and his kids and nieces and nephew laughing at him.
"Am I late?"
"No you're just in time mate." James said laughing.
As soon as Harry took his seat the players came out to the pitch first the Chudley Cannons then the Holyhead Harpies, Harry knew Ron had it tough his sister on the enemy team and him a Chudley Cannon supporter for life. The two captains shook hands and the game began as Ginny quickly flew to the Quaffle and scored the first points of the game and her first goal as a Harpies player the game quickly became more intense as two of the Harpies Chasers and the Cannons Beaters were injured leaving Ginny as the main scorer unless the Seeker Holly got the snitch which was needed to win as the Harpies were down 220 to 290 and needed the snitch to win suddenly Holly was hit by a Bludger and Ginny had to take over as temp Seeker and instantly spotted the snitch and flew at breakneck speed and managed to quickly to scoop the snitch and the win leaving the game 370 to 300 giving the Harpies the first win of the gaming season.
"Ginny Potter of the Holyhead Harpies has begun her career as a Chaser and by a surprising move a Seeker as well which means she is only the second Chaser to act as Seeker in a century." The announcer said as the entire Potter and Weasley family including Ron clapped a thunderous applause and shouts of amazement.
At Potter Manor the whole family and the Harpies were celebrating the victory with Butterbeer's and a light lunch thinking of the first of many victories the Harpies would have this season as a constant win as the Harpies hadn't had a winning season in three years and a win would mean that they enter the full leagues playing world teams.
Ginny was still feeling the effects of the spell and was in a happy mood until her mood starting sensing the spell ending and realised she was now anxious again. "So, when's the next game Gwen?"
"Two weeks I think Gin." Gwenog said looking at her teammate. "Actually Gin, I want to discuss something with you."
"Ok." Ginny said following Gwenog to the kitchen.
"Anxiety's coming back, isn't it Gin?"
"Yes…how long till it goes?"
"An hour or two, no more using that spell, the longer you use the longer the anxiety comes back, two chasers last year needed four days to recover once, I don't want that to be you." Gwenog said and left to re-join the party.
Harry had heard the conversation and remembered the spell in question, it was a relaxant drug spell, Quidditch players were banned from using it and he knew he had to tell her that, he remembered Sirius telling him about it. "Dangerous spell mini Prongs, took out a lot of good Quidditch stars after a year or so." Harry couldn't let Ginny lose her dream job and knew a fight was about to happen.
"Ginny, can we talk please babe?"
"Of course Harr, what's wrong?"
"The spell Gin…it's illegal to use if you play professional Quidditch." Harry said knowing he was about to start an argument.
"WHAT SPELL?" Ginny shouted at him.
"The Relaxation Charm, Gin pros have lost their teammates respect and trophies because of that spell, Gwen's right you can't start abusing it."
"Oh I see how it is, 'Ginny's talking to Gwen I better eavesdrop on them.'" Ginny said in a mocking voice to Harry.
"I was passing by and heard I'm sorry for caring about you."
"Caring? You're barely here, the Corps see you more than we do."
"Because we're trying to defeat Umbridge, or have you forgotten all see done?"
"NO! I haven't, she's evil Harr, but you are getting so obsessed with catching her it's ruining our marriage!"
"Ruining our marriage…I'd never do that…but I see you think so…I'm going to stay at the Auror Apartments for a few days." Harry said with tears in his eyes walking out.
Ginny couldn't believe what just happened because of her Harry was gone, and she didn't know if he was coming back at all. She went into her parents and in-laws and explained what happened and Bill and Charlie looked at each other and smiled then excused themselves from the table and left, Ron decided to intercept them so Harry wouldn't hurt them, Lily and Molly explained to Ginny how dangerous the spell really was and even Gwenog looked scared at how dangerous it was, James, Sirius and Arthur went to the Auror Apartments with Ron to talk to Harry and arrived there first.
"Harry open up, it's us mate." Ron said and Harry welcomed them all in. it was a small one bedroom apartment that looked like it was abandoned for years, with a flick of his wand Harry transfigured it into a lovely living room. "So, what happened back there mate?"
"She's using the Relaxation Charm Ron, a B-Class Drug Spell, she could've fallen off her broom or been caught, the effects and side effects are dangerous." Harry said looking at them.
"Any proof Harry?" Arthur asked him.
"Gwenog used it on her I think, she must've thought Ginny was too tense yesterday." Harry said looking at Arthur with his green eyes still puffed.
"I see…well Harry you did the right thing…but Bill and Charlie are on their way and we shall need to duel them I think…those boys use their wands more than their heads." Arthur said smiling.
Within ten minutes Bill and Charlie had arrived with their wands raised but were ambushed by Arthur and Sirius. "What do you boys think you are doing?" Arthur asked in a voice reminisced of Molly.
"He betrayed her dad and the bond, as the eldest brothers we can take revenge." Bill said remorselessly.
"Opposite way around Bill, Ginevra betrayed Harry." Arthur said looking at his son.
"What? She broke the bond…I'm sorry Harry." Charlie said hugging Harry and leaving.
"Sorry mate." Bill said smiling and leaving.
After that Arthur, Ron and Sirius left and Harry went to sleep thinking of the kids and Ginny and where it all went wrong.
A/N: I know you all now hate me for the fight but hey war affects love. I'll leave you all in suspense for now.
