A Candle in the Dark
Chapter 5: Harry's Birthday.
Harry and Cho blushed but did not let go of each other's hand.
"Harry!" exclaimed Ron in an awed voice; Hermione immediately stepped on his foot. For a few minutes nobody spoke until Mr Weasley cleared his throat,
"Well, um, shall we continue?" relieved to have directed the attention away from Harry and Cho, everyone started talking at once, in the confusion that followed, Harry, Ron, Cho, Ginny and Hermione all sneaked outside. They went round in to the garden and sat down Cho sat on Harry's lap and rested her head in the crook of his neck.
"How come you're here?" Harry asked Cho, "not that I don't want you to be, it's just unexpected." Cho smiled,
"It was Ginny's idea, ask her".
"Well, Cho and I have friends for a while now, since the DA began, and we were writing to each other before you came and when Hermione, Ron and I saw how unhappy you were we decided to ask Cho to come over for your birthday, because she also knows what it is like to lose a loved one and we thought she might be able to cheer you up." Harry nodded this all made sense to him now.
"The other reason was, well, I think you know the other reason why", Harry and Cho both blushed, "and having her over might cheer you up".
"But, your greeting was not quite what we had expected" Ron added, Harry and Cho both blushed even more at that. Ron, Hermione and Ginny all laughed at their faces.
"What did you expect?" Asked Harry
"Well, a verbal greeting, not a physical one!"
"How long are you staying for?" Harry asked Cho
"Rest of the summer" Cho replied
"That's good," said Harry planting a swift kiss on her cheek.
They sat there talking for another ten minutes before Mrs Weasley called them in. They all stood up and walked into the house. They walked into the Weasley's living room where there was a mound of presents for Harry. Harry sat down on a sofa with Cho next to him. Harry reached out and picked up the first present, it was from Hermione, it felt like a book or two, then again, it was from Hermione, so what did he expect? He opened it and two books fell onto his lap. He read the title of the first one 'Curses and Counter Curses', the second one was entitled 'A Guide to Becoming an Auror'
"Wow, Hermione, these will definitely come in useful" Hermione smiled. Harry took Ron's present from the pile, inside was a box of Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans and a box of Chocolate Frogs.
"Cheers, Ron" Ron grinned at him. Next Harry took Fred and George's present, a little apprehensively he opened it, inside was a box of Weasley's Wildfire Whizzbangs and a Skiving Snackbox and a dragonhide jacket. However to his relief nothing exploded or jumped out at him. He must have breathed a sigh of relief because Fred and George immediately put on mock hurt expressions.
"He doesn't trust us," said George in an upset voice.
"He thinks we are evil little pranksters who are always playing jokes and causing trouble," said Fred in an identical voice.
"But you are" pointed out Ginny
"Oh yeah" said George as if he had only just remembered.
"Anyway, Harry. Are they ok?" asked Fred dropping the hurt voice.
"They're excellent", said Harry as he held up the jacket, admiring it, it was a greenish colour with a hint of grey.
"The hide is from a Hungarian Horntail" George told him Harry laughed.
Harry picked up Mr and Mrs Weasley's present next. He opened it and out spilled a beautiful emerald green cloak. Before Harry could say anything Mrs Weasley spoke
"That cloak will keep you at the most comfortable temperature all year round, so in winter it will keep you warm and in summer it will keep you cool".
"Thanks very much. That will definitely be helpful".
Charlie gave Harry a book on quidditch moves and flying tips.
"Not that you need it" he said winking at Harry.
Bill gave him a book of various dragons and working models of a Hungarian Horntail, Norwegian Ridgeback and Chinese Fireball.
Ginny gave Harry a bag of Zonko's tricks. When the Weasley's had finished giving Harry his presents Cho leaned over and whispered to him
"I'll give you mine later". Harry nodded.
After all the presents were opened, Mrs Weasley brought in a huge birthday cake in the shape of a snitch. They all took a piece of cake and some butterbeer that Mrs Weasley had bought. After about ten minutes when everyone was standing around talking, Cho grabbed Harry's hand and pulled him outside. When they were out of view of the house, Cho took something out of her pocket. It was a thin silver chain with half a heart attached and 'Harry' written on it.
"It's beautiful," said Harry, and he meant it.
"Yes, but that's not all" and from round her neck she took an identical silver chain with the other half of the heart attached and 'Cho' written on it. She moved closer to him and placed her half of the heart next to his, they fitted perfectly.
"The heart is whole, when we are together." Harry pointed out. Cho laughed.
"Why d'you think I bought it? I am in Ravenclaw you know!"
"Can't see why, though" said Harry teasingly. Cho shoved him in mock outrage. Harry laughed and ran away from her, after about a minute Cho caught up with him and pushed him over, Harry pulled her down with him. She landed on top of him and grinned.
"You're always looking up to me aren't you?"
"You wish" muttered Harry. They looked into each others eyes for a minute then Cho leaned in, then
"Alright pile up!" yelled Fred; a second later Harry felt three extra weights on him. "Get off of me!" groaned Harry from the bottom of the pile
"Sorry, no can do" said Fred,
"Why not?" asked Harry
"I've got George on top of me"
"George, get off"
"Can't Harry"
"Why not?"
"Got Ron on top of me" said George in a matter of fact tone.
"Ron get off" Ron got off laughing. Everyone else got off eventually Harry was able to stand up, nursing a sore arm where Cho's elbow had been digging into it,
"Mum said come inside" said Fred so Harry and Cho followed Ron, Fred and George into the house. Harry looked at his watch it read twelve o'clock. They entered the house and saw that Mrs Weasley was not there, so they sat down at the table Cho opposite Harry and Ron sitting at the head of the table, Fred and George went to find their mother.
All of a sudden for no apparent reason Harry realised that Sirius was dead and all the joy he had felt that it was his birthday evaporated like water.
Cho watched him horrified, she saw his face pale, he slumped forward and put his head in his hands, Ron stood up immediately but Cho leapt up and ran round the table towards Harry and knelt down in front of him and looked into his eyes.
"Harry!" she said urgently with anxiety and fear in her voice, "Harry!" Harry turned his face away from her; Cho grabbed his face with her hands and held it in front of her. He dropped his gaze and refused to look at her, She thrust her face towards his and kissed him hard, biting down firmly on his lip, tasting the saltiness of blood in her mouth. She drew away and looked into his eyes, he looked up at her, fear, sadness and despair in his eyes, Cho felt her eyes water.
"Harry, you will move on, don't forget him, forget him dying. I thought I would never move on from Cedric, but I have, Sirius wouldn't want you to give up like this, he would want you to move on, he wanted you to have a life, that's why he gave his own" It seemed like Harry looked into her eyes for the first time, she saw life return to them.
"You're right," He said in a hoarse voice, "Thank you."
"That's all right," she smiled, "I'm glad you're alright" Cho leaned in again and their lips met in a gentle kiss. They broke apart and looked at each other Cho sat down next to him and rested her head on his shoulder Harry put his arm round her waist..
Mrs Weasley smiled; she had entered with Fred, George, Hermione and Ginny at the point where Cho and Ron had both jumped to their feet. She had held up her hand to stop them doing or saying anything although it took all of her self-control to stop herself from doing something. The first kiss had been desperate but the second had been reassuring as if to say `I'll always be here for you, I will never leave you when you need me most`. She felt that it was time to make their presence known. She stepped into the room.
"Harry, we will always be here if you need us." She said.
"Yeah, mate, we don't plan on deserting you anytime soon." Said Fred
"After all, you gave us that gold,"
"And we need you to be here in case we need some more"
"Admittedly that's not likely, but you know, just in case," George grinned and winked at him.
Mrs Weasley looked slightly displeased as this conversation went on but she joined in the laughter at the end. Ron looked thoughtful for a moment,
"How many times have I told you what Cho has just told you and you never listened to me, how come you listened to her?" He said in indignation. Hermione rolled her eyes.
"Because you're not worth listening to" said Fred in a matter-of-fact voice as if he was commenting on the weather.
Everyone apart from Ron laughed. Just then, five large, barn owls swooped in through the open door and dropped four letters onto the table, each one had the Hogwarts crest on the front. Mrs Weasley picked them up and gave them to the owners. They contained their booklists.
"Wonder who the new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher is" said Ron,
"It has got to be someone who knows the spells and can use them really well" said Hermione. Harry nodded in agreement. Cho looked thoughtful,
"The letters a bit early though, they usually come about a week before we go back to school." Ron just shrugged.
"I can't see anything wrong with that."
"I was just wondering." "Where are "Bill, Dad and Charlie?" asked George
"They had things to do for the Order."
For the remainder of the afternoon they played quidditch, while Hermione helped Mrs Weasley in the kitchen preparing dinner. At seven o'clock Hermione came out to tell them that dinner was ready. They headed to the garden after putting their brooms away. They had an excellent meal of roast chicken followed by a huge chocolate cake.
By time they had finished eating it was close to ten o'clock and everyone was feeling tired after such an eventful day. So after helping Mrs Weasley tidy up they all went up to bed. On the landing Harry kissed Cho goodnight and headed into Ron's room, while she went into Ginny's room with Hermione and Ginny. Harry lay down on his bed and fell asleep immediately.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH"
Harry woke up blinded by pain, his head was splitting open he was sure of it, the pain in his scar was so great, he thought he was dying. He rolled off his camp bed onto his hands and knees and vomited consecutively for two minutes, the pain wasn't easing. He was shaking violently, he felt himself lose consciousness, and he struggled to hold on. Gradually, the pained lessened,
"Harry!" He still couldn't focus properly, he was still losing consciousness.
"Wake up Harry!" Eventually he regained full perception. Harry spoke
before any of them could, he had to, he was still very weak.
"Something really good has happened for him," No-one needed to ask
whom 'him` was. "Even better than the Azkaban breakout." Harry stood
up, he looked at them. Fear written into each one of their faces.
"This is the best thing that has happened to him for sixteen years" No-
one knew what to say or do, Ron looked terrified, Hermione looked as
if she was going to faint. Ginny and Cho were crying
Mrs Weasley waved her wand.
"Scourgify" everything was cleaned up. At that point Cho threw herself
onto Harry even though he was soaked in sweat.
She was crying uncontrollably. Harry held her in his arms.
"I was so scared."
"Shh, it's all right, I'm fine now."
"Harry, are you sure you're ok, you don't want anything?" asked Mrs
Weasley
"Yeah, I'm ok"
"I guess we'll find out tomorrow what has happened." Said George
grimly. Everyone turned and went into their different rooms. Cho and
Harry went out into the corridor, and sat with their backs to the
wall, Cho put her head on Harry's shoulder; he put his arm round her
waist.
"I was so scared, you were screaming and shaking."
"Don't worry, it has happened before. Never that bad but it has happened"
"Are you scared?" asked Cho
"Of what?"
"Everything, You-Know-Who, what ever has happened tonight" Harry laughed quietly.
"Of course, we all are. But that doesn't mean we shouldn't stand up to him."
"You're right" Cho was silent for a few minutes, then Harry realised she had gone to sleep. He smiled and, not wanting to wake her by moving her back into Ginny's room he closed his eyes and went to sleep.
Hermione woke up at seven thirty, knowing she wouldn't be able to go back to sleep, she decided to get up, she put on her dressing gown and left Ginny's room. To her surprise, she saw two figures sitting, asleep, against the wall. She realised it was Harry and Cho.
Harry woke up and looked at Cho, he kissed her forehead. He looked straight ahead and saw Hermione sitting opposite him smiling.
"Hey" he greeted, whispering.
"Hi" she whispered back.
"How long have you been up?"
"Five minutes"
"Cool"
"Are you alright this morning?"
"Still a bit shaken, but on the whole I'm ok."
"I'm glad"
"Just don't give up, Sirius sacrificed himself so you could continue living."
"I won't"
"I know."
"See you, Harry"
"See you" Harry closed his eyes. Two minutes later he heard a scream ring out from downstairs. Cho woke up suddenly; Harry jumped up and ran downstairs. Hermione was shaking The Daily Prophet in her hands. She held it out to Harry, not looking at him. A feeling of terror flooded into him. Dreading to look at what it was he took the paper and looked at the heading.
"Nooo, this can't be happening" he moaned in big, bold letters was the heading,
DEMENTORS JOIN YOU-KNOW-WHO, PRISONERS FREE FROM AZKABAN
Harry read on.
Last night the Dementors left Azkaban to join You-Know-Who, all the prisoners are free and are believed to be heading for You-Know-Who aswell as the Dementors
Everyone else arrived downstairs, without a word Harry handed the paper to Mrs Weasley. She looked at it horrified. Just then a large tawny owl flew through the window it perched on the window in front of Mrs Weasley, She took the letter and read it.
--Molly--
You are not safe at the burrow, please come to the Headquarters. Arthur is already here.
--Albus--
She read the letter out loud.
"Go up and pack, we have to leave in fifteen minutes." Without a word everyone turned and ran upstairs.
A/N Another chapter done, sorry I have not uploaded for ages, first I was ill, and then my computer wasn't working properly, but now that I have my laptop back I can use that, I got it confiscated, I hate teachers! I am really sorry. Keep reading and reviewing. I'll keep writing. Hope you are enjoying this, please let me know anything that can make it better. Thanks to all my reviewers so far.
