Siblings

Harry was having dinner, He looked at Hufflepuff table and saw Hermione who was talking to Hannah, He looked at Slytherin table where was clearly enjoying his food before his depressing Patrol with Daphne, which Hermione didn't like a bit. She even told Ron to ditch the patrols, she ditched herself a few so he can't be with Daphne alone or Often went to patrol the same corridor Ron and Daphne usually patrol. Harry was just thinking, how can he tell them? What he saw? Should he depress them with the thought Voldemort was striking. They will know after all tomorrow morning it's going to be the all over the news. Nothing can stop that even he can't do that. Even he can't protect his friends. He will have to tell them but maybe tomorrow when they see the news, not right now, let them be peaceful. He saw Parvati glancing at him, maybe making sure he won't fall on his head again. He was glad no one was there except her, he was more grateful that she hasn't told a soul about it maybe except Lavender but she wasn't glancing at his side. He again felt bad about for breaking Parvati's heart. When he finished eating he stood up, he walked to where Parvati was sitting, after she him walking, she stood up. Both of the walked out of the Great Hall silently, out of entrance hall, they walked silently until they reached sixth floor and continued their patrol along the stone wall.

"Thanks a lot" Harry broke the silence "for helping me out and not telling anybody"

"about that Sorry, I told Lavender but I promise she won't tell a soul" Parvati said nervously.

"it's alright" He replied

"You like Ginny Weasley?" Parvati asked out of the blue. He blushed but nodded.

"how do you know? Am I that obvious?" he asked her rubbing back of his neck

"Yeah, at least to the girls who look at you" she said but blushed as she realised what she had said.

"It's alright and I-I'm really sorry I was jerk to you" He tried to apologise for how things ended between them. (He wasn't into the things in first place but his Remaining Personality did mess up things).

"Never mind that. You were always a jerk to girls, I just realised a bit late or I thought maybe I can straighten you out" she said sincerely

"Yeah, I know. I'm sorry" Harry Apologized again

"I have never heard you say sorry before never at least before you said that to me on the train, it was a change in you, I really thought you changed maybe I was right you did change, but maybe you changed because you started liking Ginny" Parvati rambled while glancing sideways at him

"Maybe" he said,

"But I don't understand why you are trying, she would never forgive you after what you did to her because everyone believed you, now I know at least you were lying" she said, she looked a bit confused.

"what did I do to her" was on his lips but he knew he can't outright ask her, he has to be flexible, instead he said with fake sad smile " Yeah, I shouldn't have done that, I feel miserable, I really did ruin things"

"Yeah, when I heard it I believed you, everyone did, some still do I mean most of the people knew she had huge crush on you it was easy to believe your story, poor Ginny" she said.

"Yeah, will she ever forgive me?" he asked

"Maybe, but I don't think she will ever like you" she replied "I won't like a guy if he spread rumours about me"

"those rumours were really that bad?" he asked miserably, he was miserable because he wanted to hear what the hell his Remaining Personality did wrong.

"Bad, you spread the rumour that" she started shouting but dropped her voice to a low whisper "she wanted to have sex with you, she was desperate to get under your pants, when you refused her she threatened that her brother will beat you to a pulp"

Harry looked at her, like he can't believe what he heard he was this horrible, he felt nauseated. Now even he wants to tore his Remaining Personality from limb to limb.

"They did beat you to a pulp at least Fred and George did, they had to serve a week in detentions. Ron Weasley tried to get you to tell everybody you lied, to apologise to Ginny, but you kind of flipped and hexed his pants to fall and hexed him to hang in air upside down with only his underpants that was embarrassing even I laughed that day I feel horrible being that bitchy and trusting your word, I don't know why Ron Weasley even Forgave you" she replied, it felt like she was making him realise there was no chance between him and Ginny.

"As they beat you it just backfired people believed your rumours, poor Ginny's boyfriend at that time Michael Corner broke up with her, since that day she hasn't date anybody, at least not officially" she ended the tale of Harry being a jerk.

"Why did you do that to her Harry do you have any reason?" she asked him now a bit angry "can you justify all the shit you did to her"

"What I did to Ron, did it upset her?" he asked her.

"it was the thing which put her hatred for you in stone, she didn't get bloody angry at you when you spread rumours about her but she wanted to kill you when you did that to her brother, her best friends had to restrain her that Stephen and Alsephina" Parvati replied

"But I thought she didn't like Ron" he said perplexed by Ginny's reaction. Parvati snorted.

"Every sibling loves each other" she explained "it is just Ron called her best friend a mudblood, Ginny got angry and hexed him but if he would simply ask for forgiveness from her friends she would forgive him too as it seems he is already dating the one who he once called something awful, I don't think even his sister will hold a grudge after even Hermione forgave him" she told him like that was obvious.

"how do you know about everything" He asked genuinely curious

"Ohh, that. Lavender kind of collects the information, I kind of spread it. That's why we are tight and know a lot of things" she replied while blushing

"do you think, Ginny will forgive me, ever?"

"she may forgave you but she won't ever date you" she replied

Harry after a while was in shock, when he realised that Ginny won't love him not matter what he does because he has pissed her beyond reason (Not him, his Remaining stupid Personality). What the hell was wrong with him? He was this horrible that's why when he is being nice to his siblings, they tell him he has changed because he has never been nice to them, this is why Ginny never talked to him with a straight face because he was shit. Because he ruined her first relationship, because he made her some kind of scarlet woman. Parvati was looking at him. Like she wanted to say more but she didn't say anything. He didn't say anything either he just did his rest of the patrolling with her before going back to the Common Room he saw Al and Ginny sitting by the fire talking, he saw Colin and Stephen both of them doing their home work. He looked back at Ginny who was tucking a stray hair behind her ear. He subconsciously smiled, when Ginny looked his way, he looked away, he went straight to his Dorms.

Next day when he woke up, Dean and Seamus were wearing shocks. Even Seamus started talking to him less since he told him about Ron and Hermione being his friends, Seamus somehow deducted that Harry ditched Seamus and Dean in Diagon alley to meet them, when Seamus asked to contradict his suspicions Harry told him the truth. Harry felt like shit, His "RP" short for Remaining Personality messed up things with Ginny not messed up, destroy it. He, himself messed up with his Dorm mates.

When he was in Common Room, he saw there were only a few students but all of them were talking in whispers. He had an idea what they were talking about.

When he reached his House table, he took the seat beside Demelza who was whispering to someone on her right, he looked around and saw everyone was talking, or reading newspaper with horror. He looked at staff table who themselves were reading newspapers with terrified expressions. Hagrid, was talking with Professor McGonagall. Hagrid, he haven't talked to him not even once. He can't because Hagrid doesn't know him the way he used to.

He saw at Slytherin table Ron was looking in his direction with anxious look, he looked at Hermione who also was looking at him with same expressions, he knew the time is coming when He, Ron and Hermione will have to do something. They will have to fight until they win. He just solemnly nodded in their direction before eating his bacons. He felt a nudge in his ribs. He looked beside him, Demelza was looking at him.

"What?" he asked

"Have you heard about who is back?" she asked,

"Yeah, Voldemort" he replied casually while drinking his pumpkin juice, but Demelza almost fall from her chair when he said his name so casually.

"Aren't you afraid of him?" she squeaked, it was first time he saw the daring short heighted girl looking this agitated.

"He will come for us no matter what we do, what's there to be afraid of" he said as he stood up, walked out in the entrance hall, soon Ron and Hermione joined him, Hermione had a newspaper clip in her hand.

"before you say anything let's go to the lake" he said.

When they were walking along the bank of the lake it was Hermione who broke the silence "He made a move"

"I know I saw it" He replied, as he stopped walking and now he was staring at the horizon at the end of lake.

"You saw it" Hermione half-shouted.

"I'm sorry, I didn't tell you right away, believe me I wanted to but I couldn't" He said, he retold them what he saw last evening the way he glided, the way he killed, the way he Shrieked when someone destroyed the prophecy.

"At least he didn't hear it" Ron said relaxing a bit.

"that's a relief and Prophet kind of confirmed it" she said while holding the news clip for Harry, who took it.

HE-WHO-MUST-NOT-BE-NAMED is BACK!!

On the evening of eighth of December, You-know-who appeared in the heart of London at Ministry of Magic. He killed the Minster of Magic, right in the middle of ministry in his office, in front of Aurors, who weren't able to stop it. Numerous death eaters killed multiple Aurors and ministry workers. Numerous sources tells Dark lord was there to retrieve a Prophecy but he claimed it or not is still a question of wonder, no one knows. Several Ministry workers denied to comment on any of the above questions. The terror, the war, which the magical Britain suffered in late seventy's and Eighty's is back. The death toll reported by the Ministry and the names of the deceased are as follows..

Harry looked up and said "Ron, Hermione you helped me once, you don't have to help-

"Oh for sake of Merlin's saggy pants, don't start again" Ron snapped "We have been already through this, where you go, we go!"

Harry wanted to retort but he has played this game before, he knew whatever he said, wasn't going to matter to these two.

"There is something more about my RP- Remaining Personality, I learnt last night" He said, both of them gave him the look to continue. He told them everything. Now he was waiting for Ron's response. Even if Ron punched him right now for what he did to him and his sister Harry wouldn't mind.

"What? That can't be right?" Ron said incredulously, when Harry didn't contradict him.

"Your RP did it? What the fuck? Why the hell he would insult Ginny?" Ron asked Harry, he looked more desperate for an answer than angry at Harry. Hermione didn't snap at him for swearing, she looked rather thoughtful.

"His RP was kind of cheat, egoist and liar" Hermione said "but that's wrong, it's more like opposite of your personality not-"

"Hermione it means we don't know a bloody thing about our RP" Ron snapped at her

"How are you going to make up to her" Ron asked Harry.

"Ron didn't you hear what I did-

"that wasn't you mate" Ron said while shaking his head "Do I have to write that on your head", Harry just smiled at him.

"There is one more thing, you should go and say sorry to Stephen, for calling him you-know-what, as far as I know Ginny will forgive you" Harry told him

"You sure about that" Ron said he looked genuinely happy. Harry nodded.

When Harry was having lunch, Demelza came and sat beside him, she put a note on the table saying "for you" he picked it up. He knew Dumbledore was going to call him.

When it was Eight in the evening he was. Standing just right out of professor Dumbledore's door. The door opened itself, Harry entered, He saw The headmaster sitting on his chair behind his table, which was covered with a few books some instruments and trinkets, he walked toward the table and sat on the chair. He looked at Dumbledore who looked tired and weary.

"Did you see something, yesterday?" He asked harry, both of his hands on the table, as the old man was leaning on it.

"I did" he said, he recounted yesterday's events, what he saw from Voldemort's eyes.

"Who destroyed the Prophecy?" Harry asked the old man.

"Regulus Black, your dad and Sirius" Dumbledore answered, Harry stood up the moment he heard the names, his chair toppled and hit the floor

"How are they? If he was angry? What happened to them? Please tell me they are fine?" Harry rambled he was afraid, afraid for what might happen, for what could've happened, for hearing what happened.

"They are all safe" He replied calmly "they were able to get away quickly with the help of a house elf named Kreacher but he sacrificed himself to save Regulus Black" Dumbledore said wearily.

"Kreacher died" his voice came out as a squeak.

If not for Dumbledore magically placing the chair again under him, Harry would have fallen on the floor as he sat subconsciously after hearing the news everyone was fine but still someone died, who he knew. Dumbledore swished his wand and a large cup of hot Cocoa appeared out of thin air in front of Harry.

"Please, Harry drink it" Dumbledore said kindly. Harry took the large cup in his both hands stared at it before taking a sip.

The next day at lunch, Harry saw Ron standing up from Slytherin table, meeting with Hermione both of them walked in the direction where Stephen was sitting with Ginny and Al. Harry stood up and joined Hermione to hex Stephen if he tries anything funny.

"I wanted to say something" Ron said as he stood just right behind Stephen who turned around wearing a scowl on his face.

"What, now?" Stephen demanded while sitting.

"I'm sorry about what I did, I mean what I called you, I was mad. I didn't mean anything it was something else, I just ended up taking my anger out on you an-and Hermione" Ron said nervously

"you say you are sorry, but why should I trust your word" Stephen asked him

"because he meant it, he is really sorry" Hermione provided the answer, Harry thought maybe not Ron, at least he will trust his sister.

"Hermione, I don't know what he told you, but I never thought you are this dumb that you-" what he said after that we never knew as he was clutching his nose at least this time maybe nothing was broken.

"Never call her dumb" Ron said threatingly, Hermione pushed Ron aside, trying to cover up the mess he created, he didn't break anything but Stephen was still bleeding, Harry just took hold of Ron trying to calm him.

"Ron, are you out of your mind?" Ginny hissed at him "this is the second guy you punched in the face?"

"I'm sorry but he is nowhere near Hermione when it comes to brains. He shouldn't call her that, she doesn't like being called dumb, if you call her you-know-what she will be less angry than when you call her dumb, after all she is fucking intelligent" Ron half-shouted.

"It still doesn't mean you are going to punch him, you were here to apologise not antagonise" she said

"Yeah I was here to apologise to him, but he doesn't care but I'm really sorry about calling him that, but I don't give a damn, if he wants to forgive me or not, all I care about you talking to me back, really I'm really sorry, I messed up and I'm not sorry for punching him today" He half-explained half-shouted. Ginny was speechless, she was just staring at her brother. Harry saw Hermione has managed to stop the bleeding and clean his robes but he looked like he wanted to kill Ron, Stephen's eyes were still red shot.

At that very moment a teacher came, it was none other than Severus the greasy Snape. To whom our dear boy Stephen told everything, but as Ron is from Slytherin, Snape can't deduct points, No, No he can't, so our dear old greasy Professor gave Ron detentions on this coming weekends, deduct ten House points from Hermione as she caused the fight, how she caused the fight he never told us. Ten points from Harry just because he was standing and did nothing to stop the violence.

"Couldn't you have just shut your trap for a moment, you lost me ten points" Hermione snapped at her brother before furiously going back to her house table, Harry saw Ron now looked shameful, when he realised he fucked up again, he mumbled something like really sorry before he silently went back to his table, Ginny was still staring at her brother.

In four days he will be at home again, He was a bit happy about going back to home and meeting everyone. He was at Owlery, sending Hedwig home, three letters, one to his mum, one to his dad, one to his Godfather . When he was walking down the stairs he saw his sister and Luna talking in hushed voice.

"What's up?" he asked them, both of them went stiff, turned around to look at him with clearly fake smiles.

"Nothing" Vi said clearly nervous

"Nothing" he said looking at her with an raised eyebrow. She frantically shook her head.

"You can tell me" Harry asked "You know I care about you, right?"

"Really, it was nothing Harry" she said, but her guilty look gave away again, why she is so sweet and innocent, she wasn't even able to lie with a straight face.

"She was tailing you around" Luna said "she thought you were being weird but I told her there is nothing weird, she said no definitely there is, I said what's different, she said everything, I asked what is everything she said you aren't same, I told her of course you aren't because you are from future? Aren't you? Now will you please tell me if I ever find out or not that Nargles saliva is really great for tooth ache?" she dumped a lot of information at Harry without even thinking about taking a break, his sister was looking at him with horror like waiting him to snap or something but he was himself unnerved when she said "Are you from future? But technically I'm not, am I? I'm kind of. I was in 1998? Wasn't I?

"Why do you think, I'm from future?" he asked Luna, she looked like it was obvious or they were wasting time, she would rather talk about Nargles.

"You know, You knew Prophecy was about you, how you never told meaning you are from future?" she explained

"How do you know about the Prophecy" he already has his suspicions

"Of Course, Vi told me" she said like it was obvious, Vi was frantically shaking her head in his direction, he sighed.

"Luna If you don't mind can you give us a moment, please?" he asked her, she nodded.

Harry, Gently took his sister's hand in his walked her in a secluded place, put a Muffliato charm around them for more privacy before saying "You and Dan were eavesdropping on our conversation"

She nodded without looking up at him.

"How much you heard?" He asked her

"just a bit, not a lot we had a pair of extendable ear, Dan purchased from Weasley twins, mum's spells weren't enough to stop us from using that" she confessed, she was staring down at the stone floor.

"Hey, look up" he asked her gently, she did. She was either really afraid or sad. Because Harry wasn't able to understand what she was feeling at that time.

"You can ask me whatever you want to ask" he said "that was your curiosity to know things, don't be ashamed of it"

"Can I ask anything?" she asked cautiously "You won't lie, Promise?"

"Okay" Harry said "but first tell me, why were you tailing me?"

"I was doing that for quite a time, since you won that match, I just wanted to know why are you so changed, you were nothing like this, but I never got satisfactory answer, all I got was Luna's weird theories" she replied sincerely

"Okay, have you got any idea, why I'm changed" he asked her

"I answered your question, shouldn't I ask mine first?" she asked him sweetly

"Alright" said Harry "fire away"

"Before I should. I should ask Luna to head back this can time," she said before going back to where Luna was, she returned after a couple of minutes.

"My first question is how you really got the scar" she asked while pointing at his forehead.

"I have already told mum and Dad, that you already have heard, why do you want me to repeat, my finest hour of life" he replied

"You lied" she said

"Okk I did, but you can't tell mum, I can't tell how I really got it but I'll admit that I lied about it to mum" He replied

"But- how then?" she stammered

"I can't really, Vi" he replied

"Then, is there really a Prophecy?" she asked anxious to hear the answer

"There was" Harry replied "it's destroyed, no one got to hear it"

"but if the prophecy is destroyed it doesn't mean, it won't happen-" she stopped as she saw him Laughing.

"What so funny about it" she said clearly annoyed at his behaviour

"I'll tell you what's funny, the Prophecy aren't prediction, it's more like warning or instructions, the prophecy really isn't something set in stone but rather something done by the interpreter. It means if something has been Prophesised about you, you can avoid it, but in fear that it will happen you will follow it, eventually by following it you will make it happen, the Prophecy is about Hearing if you haven't heard it you won't take action meaning not a thing will happen, Prophecy just creates a Vicious trap for you to fall in, that's all" He explained whatever he understood about the Prophecy. Vi was staring at him with her mouth slightly open.

"You are saying nothing will happen because he wasn't able to hear it" she asked she genuinely looked a bit relaxed.

"not a thing, he doesn't even know that, the prophecy was about me along with him" he lied, he needs to make sure, his sister doesn't feel the pressure he is feeling even if the comfort is based on a lie.

"But he can still find it out" she expressed her worries

"Nope, only people who knows about that are Sirius, Dad, Mum, Dumbledore, You and me" he replied "I don't know about me and others but I know nothing can break you"

"No, Harry I shouldn't have known about it, I Shouldn't have heard about it with Dan, I'm not brave like you, Mum and dad and I'm duffer I told Luna about it, I even put her in danger Harry" she started saying frantically, she was overwhelmed by the weight of the information. He knew she was going to cry, for calming her. Harry hugged her tightly she sniffed in his chest, a small sob escaping her mouth as she tightly hugged Harry back.

When she calmed down after ten or fifteen minutes, Harry walked her to Revenclaw Dormitory.

"You really are smart, I never knew you were tailing me, I never saw you until today" he told her, he really never saw her.

"Really?" she asked him surprised by the information,

"Yeah" he said grinning
