~The Ones I Trusted~
She looked down at the ring in amazement. "You kept that in your pocket...for 10 years?" Harry nodded, his eyes sparking with a look that could only be described as love. Genesis looked into his eyes for what seemed like forever.
"You don't have to say yes, it doesn't matter....I just needed to do this," he said. 'He just got out of prison, and proposes,' thought Draco,'Same old Potter,'he added, grinning.
'He doesn't even know if I found another...and yet he does it anyways,'Genesis thought,'It's been ten years...and he still wants me...Well, it's time to make all our dreams come true.'
She bent down so that they were at eye level. With new tears forming in her eyes, she replied," Better make that Genesis Ebony Potter."
Harry looked at her in amazement. "You will?," he asked hopefully. "You didn't even have to ask," she whispered in his ear. Despite him not being clean, she raised his chin, and gave him their first kiss after 10 years. And, by the looks of it, it won't be the last.
::12 Grimmauld Place::
Sirius and Remus had offered to go back to their place to celebrate. So Draco, Amerianda,Genesis and, of course, Harry went along.
Their first act was to give Harry the strongest soap the had and send him to shower. He stayed there for almost an hour, but no one cared. He had every right to do so.
"So," began Amerianda, "by the looks of it Genesis, you two may need a crib sooner rather than later." Everyone laughed. "I hope so," said the dark skinned woman," All my dreams are finally coming true...life is paying me back after bitin' me in the butt so many times," she joked. With everyone laughing, no one heard the creaking of the stairs as someone came down.
"Hello all," came a smooth voice. They all turned to see Harry, clean, shaven, and perfect. His face was clean and his hair shined again, now cut a little below his shoulders and pulled into a ponytail at the base of his neck. He was wearing baggy black jeans that hung off his thin hips. An emerald green button down shirt graced his chest, accenting his eyes...were it not for the slightly cold look in them. Everyone could only stare and admire the dramatic change from Azkaban convict back to the Harry they new and loved.
"Wow, Harry," sad Amerianda,"...maybe I married the wrong guy," she joked, giving her wedding ring a mock look of disgust and regret. Harry, playing along shrugged. "Oh well, too late now. Besides, Gen is likely to kill us both if we ever tried." "Damn straight," said Genesis. Draco pouted playfully, pulling his wife onto his lap. "Don't you love me anymore?," he whined. "Of course," Amerianda said, kissing him lightly.
Harry beckoned for Genesis to stand up. He sat down in her chair and pulled her into his lap, running his fingers through the familiar long black hair. 'It still smells of the same shampoo...lavender...' He took in the smell and smiled.
Genesis turned to look into his eyes. "...Your eyes look so cold,love," she began," It's time we put a little warmth back in them." "Well...alright...but only because I brushed my teeth this time," he joked. Genesis brought her lips down to his, kissing the lips that beckoned her so longingly. The two sat there, wrapped in the comfort of the love they had, making up for 10 years of lost kisses.
After about two minutes, they'd forgotten they weren't alone. Sirius gave a slight cough. "Sorry to interrupt you love birds, but that's what you have bedrooms for," he said, trying to hold back a laugh. The two broke apart, gasping for breath. "That...we have to do that again," said Harry. Genesis nodded. "But not now...Now, we celebrate," she said, smiling at him. The six people went back to an animated discussion of future plans...that is, until there came a knock at the door.
Harry's eyes flashed with a hint of fear. They had heard that familiar knocking...'NO!...I won't remember that!," he thought angrily.
Sirius answered the door. He didn't make a sound. Everyone started to get up, to see who it was. But, they stopped when their illustrious guests stepped in to greet them.
"Harry!," came an excited feminine voice. Arms wrapped around our hero. He looked down to see bushy brown hair. "GET AWAY FROM ME!," he yelled in fury. He pushed the person off to reveal Hermione Granger-Weasley. In fact, Ron, Arthur, Molly, Percy, and Hermione and Ron's kids were there too.
Harry's eyes took on a cold look. A look that could only be described as hatred. "I should go shower again," he spat,"Just being near you makes me feel dirty." Draco couldn't help but give a choked chuckle. Hermione and Ron looked at him hopefully. "Don't you remember us, Harry," began Ron," We're your friends-" "FRIENDS MY ARSE!," he yelled in rage. He heard a whimper and looked down to see four redheaded kids. Two boy and two girls.
He looked at them in disgust. "You even bring your spawn. It's enough that you have to foul my air, but this is just too much," Harry said, grinning sadistically. Molly looked at him and the people in back of him, a look of guilt on her face. "Harry, dear, we-" "I believe I am the ONLY one who has the right to call him DEAR, Weasley," spat Genesis, looking ready to rip her throat out.
Percy stepped forward. "Now, see here-" He was cut off as Remus cast a silencing spell. "No one cares, Percy. No one cares," he said, glaring at them. Sirius grinned at his friend.
Harry never took his eyes off of Ron and Hermione. "Harry, we only came to apologize for-" Hermione was cut off as Genesis growled menacingly. "Don't. You. DARE," the darker girl hissed. "Harry, we only want forgiveness. Please," Ron begged.
Harry grinned. "Oh, are we begging Ronald? I like this. Let me get my muddy shoes. You can lick them for me." Draco broke into full gales of laughter. Arthur glared at them all. "Oh, come now. Harry, it's all over now. We can get back to life. Ron and Hermione only want their friend back," he recited, as if he had rehearsed it a million times.
Harry gave him a steely glare. "All OVER?! I spent 10 years ROTTING IN HELL, and it's ALL OVER!" Harry's face ran pale with fury. "I swear, I could kill you right now...but then I'd go back to that hell hole." Hermione's eyes teared up. "Harry, we had to believe it. All the evidence, it all pointed to you!," she exclaimed. "So, my own FRIENDS didn't think to give me the benefit of the doubt?," he spat.
"Now, Harry, you're 27. Stop acting like a child," began Sirius,"...act like a teenager and beat them to a pulp." Harry grinned at his godfather. Genesis put a silencing spell on the Weasley, tired of their begging.
"Look, you listen and you listen good," began Harry," I trusted you. I trusted you with MY LIFE. And look where THAT got me. I know all you want is for your hero to come back and be the beacon of light again...Well, it won't happen. Harry Potter is no longer a name that will come from your filthy mouths. I would hate to disgrace the name my mother gave me with imbeciles like you."
Hermione and Molly could be seen crying crying silently. Genesis waved her wand and the redheaded group flew out the open door. "AND STAY AWAY FROM MY HARRY!," she yelled. With that, Sirius closed the door, locking it behind them. "Well...that went very well," started Remus," considering that Harry didn't strangle them, I say we did a good job." Draco chose that moment to fall over into uncontrollable fit of laughter. The other, sensing the humor here, joined him.
Now, as you know, nothing good lasts forever. Hell, nothing good lasts for a day in some cases! But, in a far away fortress, you can find someone plotting. Someone with major plans for our hero.
"Ah...yes..Potter has returned...Nagini! Come....we have work to do...."
