A Tradition Reborn
*So Harry who were all thosssse people?* Ash asked as Harry pulled his new sweater over his head.
*Just my friends and family,* Harry replied putting his gifts in his trunk. 'knock,knock', the door opened and Ginny walked in her hand over her eyes,
"Harry? I-I have something for you, can I open my eyes?" Harry chocked down his laughter and replied
"Of course," slowly she lowered her hands and turned bright read at the look of amusement on his face.
"You Ms. Weasley do a lovely impression of a cherry," Ginny's face went back to normal, she stared at Harry hands on her hips trying to keep an angry expression,
"And you Mr. Potter," She said fighting down laughter "do a simply wonderful impression of Dumbledore," Harry chuckled and Ginny giggled. Soon they were lying on the floor tears streaming down their faces; they couldn't calm down enough to see a person standing in the doorway.
"Exactly like them," the person said with a quiet laugh, before returning downstairs.
What seemed like hours later Ginny and Harry managed sit back up. Their sides were sore and their cheeks were stained with tears. Ginny recovered her voice before Harry and said,
"I still have something for you," she held out a large present wrapped in gold foil. The card said
To Harry May the people in your life always stay special to you Love always Ginny
Harry looked at her face. It held hints of nervousness, as if she thought he'd through the present back in her face. Harry turned his attention back to the gift, ripping the paper off. She'd gotten him a book. It had a red cover with the Griffindor seal shinning from the front. He opened it, and his eyes widened. It wasn't a book but a photo album. Flipping through the first few pages he saw pictures of his class mates and teachers. Even Malfoy and Snape were in it but that wasn't Harry's favorite part. Each person had written something. A few had used other pages to draw pictures or make collage; On Nearly headless nicks page had the music they had heard at the deathday party began playing. It was amazing, Harry looked up at Ginny.
"Thank you," was all he managed, she smiled but she looked even more nervous than before.
"Look at the last few pages" Harry turned the album to the end and looked through the pages. Tears stung his eyes as he looked into the smiling face of Cedric Diggory. He read what was written underneath
Hey Harry,
I still can't believe we're competing in the tournament. If truth be told I hope you win. I don't really want to do this, my folk's idea, bring a little glory to the family name, but hey there's plenty of time for that when I'm out of Hogwarts, right? Well I'm supposed to right something, ah. inspiring, so heres my words of wisdom, Live your life. I'v heard plenty about your adventures and I think that's a piece of advice someone should have given you ages ago. Well I'll talk to you later, Good luck with the tournament. Cedric
Harry turned the page to face more familiar face those of his parents. Taped below the picture was a letter, written by his mother and father.
Dear Harry,
If you are reading this we are no longer able to be with you. We know Sirius will take good care of you. We will miss hugging you and holding you, we love you and wish we could have been there for you. You are a very special boy ,don't ever forget that. We have only one thing left to tell you. Stay true to your heart, it will never fail you. Again we love you and will always be with you.
Mom & Dad
Harry looked Ginny in the eyes and could only manage a small sob. Words failed him, he had never been given such a heart-felt gift. Ginny sighed and hugged him.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know it would." Harry shook his head furiously,
"No. Ginny I-I love it.I miss them so much Gin," Ginny cradled him while he poured his heart out to her. She listened patiently and offered words of comfort. Finally his tears dried and he sat up red with embarresment and frustration. "I-I shouldn't of. I'm sorry" Ginny took his hand and looked him in the eyes,
"Harry you've faced things no one should have to face, let alone a fifteen year old and I've never once heard you breakdown or complain. You deserve to cry like everyone else, more so even." Harry smiled
"Thanks Gin," She nodded
"No problem Harry, if you ever need someone to talk to, my doors always open," with that she got up and left, leaving Harry behind to ponder his thoughts.
Harry sat straight up in bed sweat shining on his face mingled with tears. His lip was bleeding where he had bitten down. Slowly and quietly he got out of bed and went downstairs. He wasn't the only one, lying on the sofa was Ginny looking pale and frightened.
"Even in death he still scares me," she whispered hoarsely.
"Who scares you Gin," Ginny shot up and turned red realizing who had heard her
"Oh. h-hey H-Harry." Harry sat down next to her and looked at her an odd look in his eye she had never seen before was that..Fear?
"I asked what scares you aren't you goning to answer," His voice was col and he seemed to be demandeing and answer rather than a sking for one. She sighed and hung her head.
"I had another dream about.about T-Tom R-Riddle," Harry's expression softened and he pulled her into a hug,
"I'm sorry Gin, I didn't mean to snap. It's just. I'v not gotten a good night sleep for about two weeks and," she opened her mouth "I don't want to talk about it" she closed her mouth quickly. After a moment ginny spoke
"Harry what's the one thing you would change if you could." Harry leaned back and closed tightly
"I would. trade places with Cedric or even my parents." Ginny watched as tears slid down his face "Everyone tells me it's not my fault and I know I should believe them but."
"But you just can't. I felt the same way after. after the diary. I felt so stupid, and I kept thinking what could of happened. People could've died and it would've been my fault. Eventually I came to the realization that, it wasn't my fault, but V-Vo-olde-morts" she said making a face "Horrible things happen to good people Harry and instead of brooding on them you have to try and stop it. I know it hurts, and I can't begin to imagine how it feels, but Voldemort's already one if you sucome to the pain, he's already one." She kissed his forehead and and went back upstairs. Harry fell asleep on the couch thinking about what she'd said.
The next day Harry sat in the garden reading the book Remus hhad gotten him. He was flipping throught the chapter on animagus when a light turned on in his head. He ran into the house to find his friends. He gathered them together in his room Ron, Hermione, Ginny, Fred, and george.
"Ok Harry where's the fire?" Fred asked
"Yeah Harry what's up?" Ron asked. Harry beamed,
"I had the most brilliant idea but first I have to fill in Ginny fred and George." He turned to the three confused Weasleys. "Guys you remember Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot, and Prongs don't you?" The twins nodded and Ginny's face lit up. "Well I happen to have met all four of them." Their eyes widedened "But first I need you guys to trust me, can you do that?" They nodded "SNUFFLES! COME HERE,BOY!" A huge shaggy black dog bounded around looking around at them all. To no ones surprise Remus came in as well.
"What's the fuss Harry?" Harry bent over and whispered something in his ear. Remuss eyes widened, as Harry spoke. He then bent down and whispered something to the dog who nodded and changed back into his usal form. The three Weasleys backed up and locked up at him in fear.
"Guys, meet Moony and Padfoot." They looked confusedly at Harry.
"But didn't he.Didn't he murder that Pettigrew fellow?" Sirius's eyes darkened And Fred shrank back.
"No, here's what really happened."Harry told them about his third year and about what happened at the graveyard after the third task. They were amazed at Harry's openness but Ginny had been right, it doesn't do to sulk. Voldemort wins if you do that. Everyone was speechless after his story, Ron and Hermione had interjected and certain parts as did Remus and Sirius. After what seemed like an eternity Fred and george got on their knees before the Mauraders and said,
"The great Mauraders your our idol." Sirius laughed and told them to get up,
"First rule boys NEVER let your guard down for anyone, take a look at your faces" The twins peered into a mirror and saw that their faces were florecent green, "So Harry why'd you need me to transform," Harry grinned
"I want to start up the Mauraders again"
