Fitting things together
"Shutup Fred or we'll wake him!" shouted George.
"Oh, but its been too long since we've last seen him, and I don't think he'd mind if we woke him."
"Fred! Poor Harry here has gone through a lot."
"True, but he hasn't seen or tried any of our stores products!" shouted Fred.
"Alright, alright on the count of three, we pounce on him and start screaming in his ear bloody murder, then you get a lamp and we'll bash him over the head. Ready…. One…. two… three!" Fred, thinking that George was serious jumped on Harry and was about to scream in his ear when he noticed that George was still behind him laughing hysterically.
"Now George that wasn't very funny." Said Fred now getting off Harry who has heard the whole thing and keeping in his laugh to see what they were going to do next.
But the laugh was now almost unbearable and Harry burst out laughing which totally caught Fred and George in surprise.
"You—Your awake!" screamed George.
"See just a bit of a… bit of pouncing does the trick." triumphed Fred.
"Yeah, sure it does, knowing Harry, he was probably awake before you even pounced on him! Am I right, or am I right?
"Um… let me think George… you are WRONG, WRONG… and let me think WRONG!" yelled Fred.
"No Fred I was so right."
"No you weren't George."
"Yes I was!"
"No you weren't!"
"Yes I was!"
"No you weren't!"
YES I WA—" George was about to finish his statement when he noticed that Harry was amused by the arguing that was being taken place.
"Oh and you think this is funny do you?" teased George.
"Well duh George, I mean look at you! It makes me want to laugh!" chuckled Fred.
"Uh Fred… don't mean to lower your self esteem or anything, but YOU LOOK JUST LIKE I DO!"
"Okay guys, that was one entrance you made," laughed Harry.
"Why thank you. And I would like to thank my mother, father, and cute little ickly Ron for making this possible." Said Fred taking a bow.
"Alright, alright, how've you been, I mean how's your business going?" Harry wondered.
"Well we are now rated number one and our store is always so crowded, all thanks to you mate."
"That's great!"
"So I hear a lot's been going on with you." Said Fred.
"Ya, Hermione and Ron filled us in before we saw you." Pitched in George.
"Ya well…"
"It's okay mate, you don't have to explain anything, want a custard filled donut?" offered Fred.
Knowing that whatever laid inside of that donut was surely not custard filled, Harry refused and when he did, he made Fred and George "cry."
"Oh George, he turned us down…sniff...sniff…how will we ever move on!!"
"I don't know Fred, I just don't know…"
"Oh well I guess he just knows us too well" said Fred coming out of his "sadness."
"Yeah he does." replied George.
"Wow, you guys had me fooled."
"No we didn't Harry."
"But thanks anyways I mean, we tried."
"Hey Harry when are you gonna get out of that stupid bed!"
"Yeah Mr. Auror is it?"
"You guys heard about that?"
"Us and the rest of this household."
"Yeah George aren't they like giving Harry a surprise dinner tonight?"
"FRED!" screamed George.
"Oopps! Well you can still act surprised, now come get out of this bed I'm starving!"
"What time is it?" Harry wondered.
"Well you slept for two days straight, but its like eight o'clock." Answered George.
"Enough chit chat Im going to die if I don't get some food in my belly." Shoved Fred.
So they all left the room which was being used as a hospital room for Harry and walked down the stairs through the used to be "always yelling" hall, and into the kitchen. As they did, shouts from all across the room shouted
"SURPRISE!" as Harry "jumped" from all of the excitement. To no ones surprise Fred and George ran straight for the food and Harry went and sat with Ron and Hermione who were across from Lupin and Tonks.
"There are a ton more new people here." Harry put in.
"Yeah well ever since the Daily Prophet put in that article about Voldemort being back and what happened between you and Voldemort at your fourth year, we've been able to recruit a lot of people." Replied Lupin.
"Ya but it's good to have this "party" because everyone here has been constantly gloomy and this place has been so dull." Alleged Tonks.
"Yeah, when I first got here a couple weeks ago this place was so…err…so different than it used to be." Thought Harry.
"Yeah, well it's now a lot different because now that a lot of people know about this place, and know that Sirius was good after all, things have changed."
"Is there going to be a funeral for Sirius." The words barely traveled out of Harry's mouth. Tonks and Lupin both looked at each other in surprise for Harry's affront and said,
"We were waiting for you to be ready."
"Thanks Lupin, it must be hard for you also, seeing as you knew him more than I, and –" but Harry was cut off by Harry's words,
"He loved you more than you will ever know Harry." And at those words Harry knew the conversation was over. Harry could see the tears that were forming in Lupin's eyes being pushed away and at that moment Harry once again wanted to cry and be held in Mrs. Weasly's arms again.
They were all sitting in silence for a while at those last words and Harry now just wanted to get up and leave, but something kept him glued to his chair. He forced some toast down his throat and then some chocolate cake, and then he bid everyone goodnight and ran upstairs to be with himself. As much as he was trying to give himself a new start away from his grieve, he just couldn't help but want to cry again. Was he ready for Sirius's funeral? Harry reached into his bag and took out the two-way mirror that Sirius had given him. The glass was shattered again because he wasn't allowed to use magic all summer to fix it. Harry shouted Sirius black over and over again into the mirror, and although Harry knew nothing was going to happen he wouldn't let himself stop.
A knock sounded on the door, and Harry thinking it was Ron wanting to go to sleep said, "come in," but to Harry's surprise it wasn't Ron, it was Lupin.
Harry didn't know what to say, as he sat there looking into Lupin's eyes and holding the old mirror in his hands. Lupin looked into Harry's hands to see the mirror shattered and then he fixed it and began to speak to Harry,
"I think about all of the memories that I shared with Sirius, and I never saw anything like the glow he had in his eyes when you came into his life. It was like a new door opened for him, a fresh start. I lost all of my friends from Hogwarts, prongs, padfoot, and that stupid Peter Pettigrew. I have shed so many tears, but they all seem to link to something. I've thought about this day and night and tried to think of all the ways they linked to this one special thing, you. And I wonder, am I next? Am I going to live the same fate as they had? I'm afraid to look into your eyes sometimes from the power in which you behold. I am afraid to say anything wrong to you, or hurt you in any way, and I see you live with all of the things that go through your life and I wonder, how does he do it?
I mean you have many losses, and you have seen them, you live with people you don't even know knowing who you are and all of your great triumphs. You have lived with that scar and the pain and grieve it brings you. You have to live with the Dursley's and lived 11 years with no love. You have someone who is constantly planning your death and haunting your dreams. You have to go through so much that a child your age should not have to go through. I grieve for you and I try to think of ways to help you, but then you are there living through it all and you seem to be getting and growing stronger instead of weaker. It scars me how strong you get, and how many times that you were able to escape death, and how many occurrences have happened in your life. Now you are going to be an Auror, and I feel like this is another step to being the greatest wizard alive, you have to be. This all links together. You have to be the one who destroys Lord Voldemort forever. It all makes sense. Harry, I too love you more than you will ever know and its killing me to even try to put myself in your position and try to feel your pain. I think of my pain and multiply it to yours and I am not string enough to bear it for even those couple of minutes. I would lay my life for you to not feel any of that pain. I wish I could take it away from you, but I cant, all I can do is be here for you, and be the one you come to. Harry—" he broke off and started doing something that Harry never pictured, he started to cry and Harry got up and wept with him.
They sat on Harry's bed in each other's arms and wept, and Harry could feel more pain both enter and leave him. Reviewing all of the words spoken to him, Harry cried more and harder and felt Lupin doing the same, for they both suffer so much. Lupin with his werewolf and Harry with his scar, and all the things that those things bring them. Pain will never end, and they both knew this.
After what seemed like a long time, Lupin got up and apologized for his actions and left the room before Harry could say another word. When Lupin opened the door he walked right into Ron who looked as though he was just about to knock on the door. Ron looked from Lupin to Harry and then without a word walked to his bed and got into his covers and whispered,
"Goodnight Harry." Harry wanted to reply, but could feel no sound coming out of his mouth. Instead Harry just made a coughing sound and turned off the lights and fell asleep with the two-way mirror under his pillow.
