Later that day Molly Weasley entered her sons shop to find him busy putting stock on the shelves.
'What brings you here mum?' George asked curiously.
'Just thought I would pop in and say hello, I was looking at a new broom for Ginny thought she deserves it after all that's happened.' She said calmly
George quelled the urge to tell his mother exactly what his sister deserved and it wasn't a new broom.
Molly made small talk with her son until he was busy with a customer. She slipped up the stairs to the flat and began to rifle through drawers looking for the parchment and the quill.
'Looking for something Mum?' George asked causing Molly to jump
'No dear just had to use the loo' she laughed nervously.
'I don't think you will find it in the kitchen drawer' George smirked
'Well I best be off then, have a good day dear' she rushed past her son and down the stairs. George heard the door close moments later.
George chuckled to himself as he went back down to the shop. Won't find what you're looking for here' he thought.
Muttering under her breath as she walked Molly made her way into muggle London and waited in a café for her coffee date to arrive.
Feeling a sense of satisfaction when she left the café Molly indulged in a little shopping to further boost her mood.
Ginny was beginning to panic; she had seen the Minister and Headmistress go into the infirmary with someone's parents, she had tried to see whom they were but Madame Pomfrey had caught her.
Her mother had written to her and told her the note and quill had vanished but she was going to fix the problem.
She was sure that someone had been through her things in her room but couldn't prove otherwise.
Hermione and Draco had been whispering in the library, again she had tried to listen in on their conversation but a silencing charm must have been around them because she heard nothing.
Only thing she could do was bide her time and act like every thing was normal. The next bit of her revenge against Harry would be known by tomorrow she had to give her mother credit the idea had merit.
Kingsley had spoken to Arthur Weasley and told him that they nearly had all the proof they need to implicate Ginny in orchestrating her own rape as payback for Harry humiliating her in the Great Hall.
Arthur grimaced at the notion of how far his daughter was prepared to go. He confided in Kingsley that he was filing for divorce when all this was over.
He would not be party to his wife and daughter's obsessions any longer.
Draco and Hermione spent the evening with Harry, as Severus had to attend a meeting with Minerva.
He would try to make it in to see his love but was comforted by the fact that his godson and Harry's best friend were there.
At his godfathers suggestion the pair lay on either side of Harry and talked to him. They told him about school, what had been discovered about Ginny.
Draco regaled him with the tale of crying in Blaises arms. But most of all they told him how much is he was missed.
The pair fell asleep beside Harry arms draped over him, when Severus arrived he didn't have the heart to wake them.
He sent his doe away to tell Minerva that they wouldn't be returning to the castle that night.
He sat and watched the three sleeping soundly, he realised just how close Draco and Hermione were to Harry something very like a sibling relationship had formed between them. Severus smiled at the thought.
Somewhere far far away Harry was smiling. He had people that cared about him a man who loved him so why was he so afraid to go back to all that.
Why did he feel it was safer where he was? Maybe when she had been caught and punished only then would it be all right to go back.
Over dinner that evening George told his father of the visit he had received from Molly.
Arthur laughed at the mere thought of Molly thinking that she could get away with snooping. George remarked that the look on her face was priceless.
Arthur told his son of his plans to divorce Molly, George couldn't blame and said he could move in with him until he got sorted.
Arthur intended to keep the Burrow and make Molly leave. He had written to his two eldest sons telling them what had been going on.
Bill and Charlie both replied saying they would support Arthur and to make sure Harry knew that he would always be like a brother to them.
The two Weasley men visited Ron and Fred's graves that night. It always gave them comfort.
George felt closer to his twin when he was here and had the feeling that Fred was watching over him.
They both knew that Ron and Fred would have been outraged at what their mother and sister were doing to Harry, especially Ron, as he and Harry had been best friends for many years.
Saying goodbye Arthur and George left the graveyard and headed back to the shop.
The Prophet arrived at the Ministry the next morning Kingsley slammed his fists down on the desk as he read the headline.
He hadn't been able to get the statement he prepared out as he had been caught up with the goings on at Hogwarts.
They were now speculating that the reason for Harry being in the hospital was he had taken an overdose of muggle drugs, unable to handle the guilt of what he had done to Ginny Weasley.
I wonder where they got that idea from he raged. He rose from his desk and stalked from his office. He barked an order for one of the young Aurors to follow him and mage his way to the Daily Prophet office.
The editor of the Prophet was mulling over some photographs when the Minister and his guard entered room. The Minister had a look of pure fury on his face and the editor knew this visit wasn't a social one.
'Who has been printing this rubbish about Harry Potter' he spat
'It has been from an anonymous source Minister' the editor answered nervously.
'Well let me tell you who the ringleader is that is feeding said source bogus information' Kingsley snarled.
'Please do Minister' he quivered.
'Molly Weasley has been telling whoever this is a pack of lies about Harry because of her daughter, let me make myself quite plain.
Not one word that has been printed in the paper is accurate nor is it any form of the truth' he fumed.
'From now this paper will no longer print anything to do with Harry unless it comes from me personally or I have given my permission for anything to be printed.
If I find out that something has been written the person responsible will find themselves enjoying the view from Azkaban prison.'
'Yes Minister I understand, nothing more will be published.' The editor replied quietly.
'As for your anonymous source I have a fair idea who it is, and they will be dealt with.' He snapped.
Not giving the editor a chance to ask whom Kingsley and his guard left the office and made their way back to the Ministry.
The Auror spread word to others in the Ministry that the Minister was on the warpath and not to get in his way.
He had never seen the Minister so angry, it showed how much he cared for the young man that had saved them all.
To fuel his anger further Kingsley wrote a scathing letter to Molly Weasley stating that if another article appeared in the paper regarding Harry she would earn herself a trip to Azkaban prison.
He was fed up with the woman and would tolerate no more.
Ginny sat in the hall smirking as she read the front page of the Daily Prophet. Surely now people would see just what Harry was really like. Not the flawless wizard the world thought him to be.
Her elation was shattered moments later when several students shot her scathing looks and commented on how pathetic her and her mother must be to stoop so low as to accuse someone of talking drugs.
Some went as far to say that she certainly wasn't worth overdosing for and they hoped that Harry made a full recovery.
Even her fan club of male admirers had taken a wide berth and not gone near her. This wasn't fair she seethed, she was supposed to be getting the attention, and she was supposed to be popular now that the truth had come out.
People were supposed to be feeling sorry for her after what Harry had done. No one but her mother had visited her while she was in the hospital wing.
Even when he was sat deaths door he still got attention, nothing was working out the way she had planned and it was making her nervous.
As she was getting ready to leave the hall and go to class and student walked past her and dropped a piece of folded parchment on the table.
She picked it up and read the note inside. Ginny scanned the hall for whoever had given her this and for the author.
Her insides coiled in fear, she began to break out in a cold sweat.
Running for the girls' bathroom Ginny collapsed in a cubicle and dry wretched over the porcelain bowl.
Regaining her composure sometime later and realising that she had missed her first class Ginny began to make a plan to stop anyone finding out what she had done.
The suggested meeting time would go ahead, but she was going fully prepared.
Hermione and Draco watched from a dark corner outside the Great Hall as Ginny was given the note.
Smiles crossed their faces as Ginny paled considerably after reading the message and began scanning the hall for whoever had written it.
Mitchell and Henry sat in charms class glancing up at each other every now and then. No words were spoken but each knew what the other was thinking.
It was the right thing to do, Harry had saved them all and now it was time to return the favour.
Surprisingly neither boy was scared about the challenge that faced them.
In truth they felt brave would maybe go so far as to heroic. Harry Potter was their hero and they in turn wanted to be his.
Professor Flitwick smiled at his two students, he of course knew what had been put in place for later that evening and plainly saw that the two boys were more than up for the challenge.
