Chapter Six- Normal As Can Be
Everyone had come home, everyone had seen that Harry was not dead. Ron, like Hermione, nearly passed out, but instead began screaming hysterically upon seeing his best friend. He nearly tackled Harry and practically began crying. Mr. Weasley was stunned, but overwhelmed to see him, just as his wife had done. He promised not to let a word get to the Ministry until Harry chose so, and if he chose to. Percy, on the other hand, completely disagreed with his fathers decision. He claimed that Harry may withhold delicate information about Voldemort and had to speak with the Minister immediately. However, Mr. Weasley strongly expressed that Harry was in no mental or physical position to go anywhere, or recall anything that happened to him.
Despite Percy's frustration or nasty glares towards his father or Harry, that was the end of that.

With a change of her brothers clothing in arm, Ginny entered her room, just with perfect timing to see Harry removing his shirt.
She dropped the clothing, " oh God, I'm sorry" and automatically turned around.
" It's okay".
Daring as she never was, Ginny faced him again, immediately noticing the deep wound the was slashed from his neckline and across his chest. " Oh God" she gasped, closing the space between them to where she was the same height as the mark. Gently running her finger along it, but stopped when he sharply winced. " Come on, I'll put some aloe on it" she would have used magic, but Arthur said they should not try that on him for awhile.
She led him to sit down on the side of his bed and tore off the edge of a plant on the bedside table, squeezing the tick substance onto her fingers. " It may be a bit cold". Her shy finger spread the clear medication across his wound, he didn't react too much, " I can't believe this happened to you".
" Better me than you".
Ginny glanced up at him, " what do you mean?".
Harry shook his head, " no, don't worry, ah, about it".
She wiped her fingers on the bedspread, staring into his eyes. Straining his back, he bent down and locked his lips with hers. Ginny lightly moaned, bringing her arms around his neck. It felt like the first time they had done that, though it was far from. But ever since her good luck kiss before the third task four-years-ago, it was.

Directly below them, Arthur and Molly sat in the dark and quiet kitchen, sipping their tea at the table.
Arthur eyed the ceiling, " do you really think their trustworthy alone in there?".
Molly nodded, smiling, " I think after what he's been through, he needs someone like Ginny".
Fred wandered into the kitchen in search of an apple, " I think Ginny needs someone like Harry even more".
He was immediately swatted at, " leave them alone, and that goes for all of you. We all know how they were before his disappearance, and what they do know is their business, not ours...or your extendable ears Fredrick Weasley".
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Late into the night, Harry and Ginny pushed their beds together, holding one another's hand.
" What's going to happen to us now?" she asked, staring at him through the blue moonlight.
" I don't know, but I can assure you, I'll never leave you again".
Sleep was beginning to overcome her, and the last words before drifting off were, " don't make promises".

Three weeks later in the Daily Prophet
The Boy Lives Once Again
By- Ronald Folgers
Four years ago, on June 24th, 1994, hundreds of
spectators, before the rest of the Wizarding World,
were stunned as they what was soon to be the apparent
death of the Boy Who Lived.
Harry James Potter is famously known for ridding He
Who Should Not Be Named of his powers sixteen years
ago after the death of his parents Lily and James
Potter. Only receiving a scar on his forehead and the
title ' The Boy Who Lived' at only a year old.
However, after attending Hogwarts School of
Witchcraft and Wizardry for four years, he was
mysteriously entered in the Triwizard Tournament,
being the youngest member even thought it was against
the rules (names picked from the Goblet of Fire are
valid no matter what, despite Potter claiming he had
nothing to do with it. Though it was later discovered
that a fugitive in disguise of former Hogwarts
Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor Moody).
The third and final task of the tournament
consisted of a magical maze on the Hogwarts Quidditch
field. Many obstacles were involved, but there is no
detail about them. Two foreign contestants, Viktor
Krum and Fleur Delacar, were disqualified not long
after the task began. It was Potter and fellow
Hogwarts student the late Cedric Diggory, who
disappeared once touching the trophy.
It was later discovered, on the brink of the
Dark Lord's reappearance, the officials from the
Ministry of Magic and Hogwarts Headmaster Albus
Dumbledore that the trophy was indeed hoaxed.
" The trophy was actually a portkey"
Dumbledore said, only days after the incident, " it's
transported both Harry and Cedric to a hidden
graveyard".
What happened next, other than the panic of
spectators, is still unknown to this day. Statistics
show that Diggory was immediately killed, and Harry
was after a series of torture. It was then known that
the Dark Lord had set up the portkey, and only meant
to capture Potter, which is why Cedric died first.
Arthur Weasley, a member of the Ministry and a
close acquaintance to Potter, started a search party
instantly for the two boys. Members included Arthur's
sons, other Ministry workers, his daughter Virginia,
and Harry's friends Hermione Granger and Draco
Malfoy. After the five month search, only Cedric's
body was found, but no sigh of Harry.
It was assumed that Harry Potter had been
killed and his body was destroyed. For years, many
mourned and proper services were given.
Sixteen-year-old Virginia Weasley was alone in
her alone in her home no more than a month ago when
someone had appeared at her door. Harry Potter, the
Boy Who Lived, had lived once again.
Now seventeen, Potter is in weak mental and
physical conditions, but will recover with the aid of
Arthur's wife, Molly. Little information has been
released about his experience over the past four
years. It is, however, now that Potter was hidden in
the Chamber of Secrets located in Hogwarts, but had
been sealed over five-years-ago after Harry himself
helped solve the mysterious attacks that took place.
He Who Should Not be Named was present as well,
holding his prisoner, but has currently fled
elsewhere, allowing Potter to manage an escape.
" No one is ever going to force Harry to
talk about what happened to him" Arthur Weasley says,
" we're just all happy that he is fine, and he is
going to live a normal life. After all, he deserves
it".
