Harry Potter and the Year of Changes
Chapter Eleven: Trouble and Making Up
The next morning at breakfast Draco walked over to say hello to Hope at the Gryffindor table. Harry was still furious with Draco, and as Draco approached he realized that the entire Gryffindor Quidditch team seamed rather upset with him. Hope stood up to kiss him hello as Harry stood up and his fist met Draco's face. His face was full of pure hatred, "IF YOU EVER SEND ONE OF THOSE AT HER AGAIN, YOU WON'T LIVE TO SEE ME CATCH THE SNITCH!"
Dumbledore happened to be walking by as this was happening, "Malfoy, Potter, Evans, Brown and Weasley I'd like to see you all in my office."
Lavender and Ginny started objecting and Dumbledore yelled, "NOW!"
They all picked up their things and quickly followed him to his office. Harry and Ginny sat down in two chairs holding hands, while Draco and Hope sat down on a bench, Hope was fussing over his face. Dumbledore sat down behind his desk, "Draco as I understand it your beaters purposely threw a buldger at Miss Weasley and Miss Brown yesterday during the Quidditch match. I understand that because I saw it with my own eyes as they stopped the buldger, aimed it and then threw it at them. How do you explain this?"
Draco looked flabbergasted, "They were following the rules, they did nothing wrong. Potter's the one that punched me Dumbledore, or are you still blind to what he does wrongly? Just as you were with his father?"
Hope slapped Draco clear across the face, "You, Mr. Malfoy, are talking about my brother and my father."
Draco didn't say anything, but the silent tear that ran down his face said more than he could have. Dumbledore looked directly at Harry and smiled at him, "He does have a point Harry. But due to the nature of the crime you won't be punished. That and I really don't feel like explaining to your parents why I gave you detention only to let you be alone during one of the most dangerous times of your life at this school. So I will simply take 30 points from Gryffindor for your actions today. Now Ginny how's your face doing?"
She smiled at Dumbledore, "Madam Pomfrey had to fix two small fractures, and Harry made sure I got enough rest last night. The pain's gone, but there's still a little swelling."
Dumbledore smiled and nodded at Ginny. Draco didn't say anything as Dumbledore turned to him, "I will be taking 50 points from Slytherin for this deliberate act. I suggest your entire team be on time for their detention tonight. Professor McGonagall will explain the details to you and your team. If we have one more incident like this it will be 50 points for each team member that participates, including you Draco, as you are the Captain. Thank you everyone, that will be all, oh and Harry, do refrain from punching anyone else today. I can only privately punish you for so long before one of the teachers will demand a detention."
Draco rushed out of Dumbledore's office and straight up to the Slytherin dormitory. Hope, Harry and Ginny walked to their next classes together. Hope looked at them with tears running down her face and calmly said, "I can't believe he thought I would chose him over family. Ginny if I'd known that he had been deliberately planning on doing that to you just to distract Harry I would've told you."
Harry smiled at Hope and gave her a big hug as he told her, "We know you would've told us, but we also know that you love him. We're not going to ask you to chose between him and us. I've never seen you this sad, and I'd rather see you happy with him than depressed without him."
Hope smiled at Harry, "You're sure Harry?"
Harry and Ginny both nodded and smiled at her. Ginny however realized she'd need a little extra push and quickly said, "Hope you love him. Go find him."
Hope smiled, turned and ran for the Slytherin dormitory. Harry and Ginny kept walking to their classes, with Harry's arm around her waist. Harry sighed, "Part of me wanted to tell her she made the right choice, she shouldn't be with that low life. She deserves better than him."
Ginny smiled at him, "I know she does sweetums, but he's the one for her. You know that as much as I do, I know neither one of us wants them to end up together but really they should. They're so happy together."
He pulled her close, kissed her gently and whispered in her ear, "I love you Ginny."
Ginny smiled and whispered back, "I love you too, Potter."
They walked quickly to Ginny's classroom and then Harry ran off to his. The day went by rather quickly, and at dinner time when Harry and Ginny finally both sat down next to Hermione and Jeramy they were both exhausted, but they had Quidditch practice that night. Harry insisted on continuing to push the team, even after they'd humiliated Slytherin. Their next game was against Hufflepuff, and that team wasn't as full of new people as Gryffindor. Half way through dinner Draco and Hope came in hand in hand and sat down next to Harry and Ginny. Hope's hair was a mess, so Ginny chuckled and whispered to Hope, "Made up did you?"
Hope smiled and whispered back, "Yes'm, a couple times."
They both giggled and starting talking about their day with Hermione. Hermione and Ginny fixed Hope's hair for her while Hope told them about Draco begging for forgiveness. Harry and Jeramy were whispering about something while Draco tried not to fall asleep face first in his food. Quidditch practice went by quickly that night, Harry announced they would have a two day break from practicing, so that everyone could rest up and enjoy the victory against Slytherin.
The next few weeks went by quickly with everyone busily getting ready for the OWL exams and the next Quidditch match. Ginny's birthday was coming up though, and Harry was busy planning something extra special for it. However he wasn't the only one planning something for Ginny, the entire Quidditch team was planning something too. Harry was helping with that as well, so he would talk with Jeramy, and then stall Ginny so they'd be late to practice once in a while so that Jeramy could talk to everyone else.
Harry and Jeramy arranged with Dumbledore for Sirius to come and take the two of them to Diagon Alley one Sunday afternoon. Hermione and Hope kept Ginny busy while they were gone so that she wouldn't notice that Harry and Jeramy weren't even at the school. The boys made it back that night for dinner, just as Ginny was starting to get worried since she hadn't seen Harry since breakfast.
Harry was grinning from ear to ear when she came in, Jeramy had Ginny's present hidden so that she wouldn't find it. Ginny smiled when she saw him and ran over to him throwing her arms around him. Harry smiled and pulled her right into his lap and kissed her long and hard. There were a few whistles and catcalls when people started to pay attention to them. When they finally stopped for a little breath of air, Ginny smiled at him and asked flirtatiously, "And just where have you been all day?"
Harry smiled and flirted back, "If I told you, I'd have to place a memory charm on you."
Ginny giggled and kissed him, "Alright Potter, I'll let you not tell me, but next time I won't be so nice."
Harry smiled at her and pulled her closer and kissed her again gently. Ginny sat in his lap while they ate dinner, Harry held her close and tightly throughout dinner. Hope and Draco sat with them eventually, and they were both smiling away happily, Ginny laughed and said, "So Hope, why are the two of you oh so happy?"
Everyone smiled and watched as Hope smiled and held out her left hand for everyone to see. Hope's finger had an engagement ring on it, it was a solitary gold band with a rather large sized diamond. Everyone fussed over the ring and congratulated Hope and Draco. Harry and Ginny both hugged Hope and Draco, and Harry insisted they send an owl home to tell their Mum, so the four of them took off to send Hedwig to Lily and Sirius.
