Harry Potter and the Year of Changes



Chapter Eighteen: Rescue





Finally it was time for them to move in, Harry was going to distract Voldemort and the Death Eaters attention. Sirius, Lisa, Owen and Jeramy were getting ready to break open the cage, the ghost of Ron agreed to help Harry distract the Death Eaters. With that Harry and Ron's ghost hid patiently while they waited for Sirius to send up red sparks. Suddenly they saw red sparks go up. Harry and Ron stood up and started walking along, talking about Quidditch and how much Ron was missing. Harry smiled and explained, "I made captain this year. Ginny's on the team too you know, best Chaser we've had since my Dad I hear."

Ron smiled, "How's Hermione?"

Harry grinned as he noticed Voldemort realized they were there and said, "Hermione's good. She had a hard time after you died, really hard time actually. She's finally starting to act like her old self again though."

Ron was beaming, "I never did get the chance to tell her."

Voldemort interrupted them with his sinister laughter and cruel comments, "Why it would appear as though Mr. Potter has forgotten that his family has disappeared, along with his precious Mrs. Potter."

Harry looked right at Voldemort, "Of course I knew she was missing. I've just about had it with you Voldemort. Release her now, completely unharmed, and if you allow me to walk her back to the school."

Voldemort laughed again, "Is Harry Potter offering me his loyalty in return for his wife?"

Harry was getting mad, Ron went and distracted the three Death Eaters that were standing by the cages. Ginny was watching in the background, hoping Harry would run for it, yelling at him to turn and run away while he still could. Lily was watching too, but unable to say anything as she had a gag around her mouth. Voldemort grinned evilly, "I'll make you a deal Harry Potter. I'll let one of them live, but I will kill the other. Who lives and who dies is up to you, but then you and I will duel. Choose Harry, your mother, or your precious Ginny?"

Harry was listening, but also watching as he saw Sirius manage to get the cage open, Molly held Cynthia close and ran with her, Jeramy helped Hermione out with Ron's ghost following them. Harry imagined that Ron would tell Hermione what Cho had told him.

Owen was carrying Jeanette out of the cage, she was too weak to walk on her own, and Lisa and Nicole hugged before running after Owen and Jeanette to help them get out faster. Harry looked at Voldemort, "I'm not choosing between my mum and Ginny, I'm leaving with both of them."

Voldemort laughed louder, though he didn't see Sirius behind him was already stunning the Death Eaters. Harry smiled, "What exactly are you going to do about it Voldemort? Your wand's been destroyed, and I believe my godfather has just taken care of your Death Eaters and their wands."

Voldemort looked back and nearly had a fit when he saw Sirius standing over the three Death Eaters, all of which were in magical ropes so that they couldn't move. Harry didn't wait for a response, he and Sirius went to say at the same time, "STUPEFY!" and Voldemort had suddenly disappeared. Though Voldemort's voice did not, Harry felt a chill come over him as Voldemort's voice whispered in his ear, "Next time Potter. Next time."

Harry and Sirius ran to Lily and Ginny and helped them down. Harry held Ginny close and Ginny cried in his arms while he picked her up and carried her back to Hogwarts. Lily and Sirius held one another close and walked back to Hogwarts a little behind Harry and Ginny. Harry figured that Sirius had told Lily about the baby because at one point while walking back Lily screamed "WHAT!?"

Harry finally made it up to the Hospital Wing, where Madam Pomfrey was examining Cynthia, she had checked everyone else out and ordered food from the kitchens for them. Madam Pomfrey saw Harry carrying Ginny and left Cynthia with Molly and nearly tripped on Hermione on her way to Harry and Ginny. She pointed to a bed and grabbed a few kits to help her examine and said to Harry, "Alright, get out of here you. I've got to check on things with Mum and baby now."

Ginny gasped and said, "Madam Pomfrey! I haven't told him!"

Harry smiled, leaned over and kissed her forehead, "Hermione told me before she disappeared. Don't worry, everything will be alright. I love you Ginny, we'll get through this together."

Ginny smiled at Harry before Madam Pomfrey literally pushed him out and closed the curtains. Sirius and Lily were holding Cynthia when Harry came out, the Hospital Wing had been filled with people. Arthur was talking with Molly, whose face had gone white while they were talking. Katie and Fred came over and hugged Harry, Fred knocked Harry in the back of the head and said, "Have you gone bloody mad Harry? Ginny's too young for a baby!"

Katie elbowed Fred, "According to your parents so are we, Dad."

Harry rubbed the back of his head, "Make sure you tell Ginny about that will you?

Molly came in-between them and hugged Harry close saying, "Harry dear, I'm not very happy with you about Ginny. But I'm so glad you're both okay, and that you got me out of there along with everyone else."

Arthur was right behind her, "Molly, let go of Harry. His Mum probably wants to get her hands on him too."

Molly smiled and kissed Harry on the cheek before sending him over to Lily and Sirius. Sirius was holding Cynthia, so Lily who had been hugging Hope looked over at Harry and smiled. Draco came rushing in and Hope ran over to his arms while Lily hugged Harry close. Lily smiled and kissed Harry's cheek as she said, "You, young man, have a lot of explaining to do."

Harry nodded and looked down at his mum, "I know I do. I know now that Ginny and I weren't careful enough with thinking about things, and obviously we'll have to take care of things now a little differently."

Lily smiled and Sirius said, "So Harry would you like to hold your new sister?"

Harry was about to take Cynthia when Madam Pomfrey peaked her head around the corner and said, "Harry, will you please come back here for a moment?"

Harry nodded and went behind the curtain with her, Madam Pomfrey smiled and said, "Let me know if you need something Ginny. You too Harry, I'll be right outside if you need anything."

With that she left, and Harry sat beside Ginny. Ginny was sitting in the bed and started crying, Harry hugged her and whispered in her ear, "What's wrong cutie?"

Ginny pulled back and said, "Harry I lost the baby."

Harry hugged her close and rubbed her back not knowing what to say or do. Ginny just cried and held onto him not wanting to ever let go of him again. No one bothered them until Madam Pomfrey came in and insisted that they eat. Eventually Sirius, Lily, Molly and Arthur came in and talked with the two of them about everything that had happened that day. They were all sad about loosing the baby, but knew it was for the best considering that they were still so young.

Madam Pomfrey set up a bed next to Ginny's for Harry, but reminded them both that if they were to do something again that they would need to wait at the least six weeks for Ginny to heal completely. But that they should really wait until they're prepared to take care of a baby on their own.

Soon Madam Pomfrey came over and insisted that everyone get some rest. Ginny was exhausted and fell asleep almost immediately, Harry stayed awake most of the night just watching Ginny sleep, going between his bed and the chair next to hers. Sirius, Lily and Cynthia were in the Hospital Ward too, and when Cynthia got up for her four a.m. feeding, Harry was pacing in front of Ginny's bed. Lily walked over while Cynthia was taking her bottle and said, "Harry dear, why aren't you sleeping?"

Harry at this point looked like someone hit him with a truck, his eyes were bloodshot and he couldn't stop worrying about Ginny. He smiled at Lily and said, "Mum I'll take her for you, go get some rest."

Lily smiled and handed him Cynthia and then her bottle. She kissed Harry's cheek and whispered, "I'll just be right over there if you need help, thank you Harry."

Harry sat in the chair next to Ginny and fed Cynthia. Once she was done eating Harry sat and held her, hoping that she would fall asleep. Soon Cynthia was sound asleep, and Harry passed out in the chair, Cynthia in one arm, the bottle in his other hand.
