Harry's heartbeat doubled with the fear of who it could be that would be the first to discover him here. He felt a twang of guilt as well. Yesterday morning he was a bachelor; lover to a lost dragon. Only but a few hours later he was a married man; husband through faithful duty.
And as of last night, he was an unfaithful husband, sleeping with the supposed enemy and all but forgetting about the years without his dragon.
"Harry, come on.."
A blanket was wrapped around his shoulders. It was his godfather Sirius.
***
Gods how can I ever face Sirius? My own godfather? I want to hide my face and run. I don't want to have to explain. I don't think I'll be able to. I don't want to do anything except curl up and die. Or sink into the Earth. And Ginny? My own wife! Even if I don't love her as much as I love...him...I still care about her. I realise now that I still care for all of them. In his absence THEY are the only ones that care about ME. How will she react to this when she finds out? Has she ALREADY found out?
***
"Sirius." And I bow my head in shame.
***
Harry felt low and worthless. He wouldn't even have been surprised if the whole Weasley clan came after him wielding clubs. He deserved to be punished, after betraying the trust of someone so innocent.
"Harry what's past is exactly that - the past. Nothing we can do to change it and there's no point in spending the rest of our lives in regret. Now come on, isn't there someone you should go see?"
"Ginny..." Harry sighed.
"Yes, your lovely wife is waiting to see you after your wedding night." Sirius gave him a small smile.
"Is she waiting with a butcher knife ready to castrate me?" Harry muttered morosely.
"No no, I think you'll find her quite...happy." Sirius gave Harry a knowing look.
"Harry I want to let you in on something. I uh..." Sirius rubbed the back of his neck looking slightly uncomfortable. "I altered her memory, Harry."
Harry's mouth dropped open in shock.
"You what??"
"I altered her memory. Her memory is now exactly what SHE wanted it to be, not the real one. According to her's, you two would have had the perfect wedding night. And currently Harry, she's asleep, dreaming of you I suppose. Now, if you don't want to be in trouble, I suggest you hurry home."
Harry's mouth was still open, and he blinked rapidly in shock, making him look very much like a stupified fish.
"Isn't that...well...I...uh...thankyou, Sirius." Harry wrapped his arms around Sirius and gave him a big hug, suddenly feeling like a small child. Sirius patted Harry on the back. He knew his godson, and he knew that he didn't like being untruthful. One day Harry would tell Ginny the truth. One day.
But as Harry crawled back into the bed he 'shared' with Ginny, he hadn't forgotten Draco, or the letter and lilly which he had carefully hidden. Draco had said they would be together again one day. It was a day Harry was more than willing to wait for.
