First- I don't own anything about this story except for possible plot lines. I wished I did own the characters, would make life easier but oh well =)

Now, onto my reviews, I appreciate every single one of them, without them, I would probably sink further into my school work and never finish this story but you guys are keeping me afloat on top of this story. I had more tests this last week so it has taken me a little to write this next chapter. Sorry for the wait, hope you can forgive an overworked college senior.

Just a few replies to people this time, I promise more next time.

Now, on with the story (always wanted to say that, lol)

Chapter 7- Pushing Angry Buttons

Dumbledore walked into Harry and Ron's room and sat down at the foot of the bed, not telling everyone to leave straight out but his body gestures saying to give them a few minutes. Harry looked gently at Ginny and with his eyes let her know everything was ok. Ginny squeezed his hand and walked out of the room, following everyone else.

"Ginny, what was that with Harry? Did he tell you something," Hermione questioned as Ron stood next to her in the hallway, his hand grasping her shoulder.

"Harry has told me a lot of things," Ginny answered, not giving any extra information. The chance to shock Ron and Hermione again however proved too much. "Lily has told me a lot of things too, a lot of things I didn't know before."

"Ginny, it's not nice to hold out on your brother. You know that I'm one of Harry's best friends, you can tell me. You shouldn't hide something from us and second, who's Lily?" All of this Ron said with a blunt look, not really understanding why he was having information held from him.

"Ron, it's not right for me to share any information that Harry has not deemed for you to know from himself. If he is withholding anything from you and Hermione, I don't think it would be too hard to understand why. You hurt him by hiding your relationship from him. The two people he thought he could trust most, and after you guys weren't able to tell him anything last summer, he never expected you to keep hiding things from him. If you want to know what is going on, you try and talk to him yourself. I wouldn't expect much yet though, it was quite a shock to him. Good thing he has me huh?" With that, Ginny walked away smiling to herself, determined to go make a wonderful breakfast for Harry. With that thought, she walked down the stairs to the kitchen.

Hermione knew something was up now. "What did she mean by that, 'Good thing he has me'? I know she likes him, but did we miss something Ron?"

"You're asking me if I noticed something, after always saying I pick up on things so slowly. I doubt if you didn't notice it, I would have. We'll just have to wait and see what happens. We cant' go interrogating Ginny, she can be viscous when she wants to be. Trust me on that one."

"I would still like to know what is going on. We are going to have to come up with a way to try and get Harry to forgive us. I hope it doesn't take long."

"Me to 'Mione, you know how much I care for you, but there are just some things a guy doesn't talk to a woman about."

With that, they both always started down the stairs to the kitchen, Ron hungry as ever and Hermione wanting a chance to observe Ginny and see what possibly could be going on.

While all of this was happening, Dumbledore was sitting patiently at the end of Harry's bed, waiting for him to explain what happened. Harry, knowing this, took a deep breath, and started to explain what happened.

"It was Voldemort Professor. He was torturing Ginny in my dream sir. I ran to find her, and he confronted me telling me he was going to go after my friends because my conscience wouldn't let me stay away. I started to get angry and challenged him to look into my eyes. When he saw them, he looked different."

"What do you mean by he looked different Harry?"

"He looked scared almost. After that, he went away saying I would need more than a spark to bother him next time we met. He didn't seem so convinced of this himself though."

"It seems Voldemort saw the same thing I did when he looked at you. He can see how powerful you have become. You will have to be extra careful now, with this knowledge; Voldemort will be trying anything to get to you. It won't be direct though; he is going to try to get to you in other ways. He doesn't want to face you so he will probably try to get to others around you. Is there anyone you can think of besides, Ron and Hermione, that he would try to use to get to you especially." Dumbledore said the last part smiling to himself. He knew of Ginny already. It was hard to get something past the Headmaster, especially one so good at finding out things going on between teenagers in his castle.

Harry, going red a little, started to explain. "He had Ginny in my dream sir."

"Why would he have Ginny?" Albus asked knowingly.

"Because...because I care for her more than as a friend."

"I see, well, then Ginny shall accompany you when I am training you. Hiding things from her will not help."

"Professor, she knows of the prophecy."

"I would have rather not told anyone else yet, but since Ginny knows that is fine. Today, after I show you how to control your powers. We shall show the order members what the prophecy is so that they can see why you must now be able to be in the know so to say. Ron and Hermione will be there too, so they can see what must be done. I know you are upset with them now; it was easy to see the tension between you all. However, they have been helping you since the beginning, it would not be right not to tell them."

Harry, realizing this was true, but not yet able to fully forgive them, accepted that Ron and Hermione should be there when everyone is told what is going on.

"Now, Harry, I am going to give you your wand back now. To control your power, it is quite easy. It would seem most people think this is something hard to do but it isn't. To control the power of a spell, one must just control the emotion behind it. Just like your Patronus, most spells can be affected by the emotion behind them. Just keep your emotions down while casting spells and they will not be as strong. I want you to try this out now. Cast a Lumos spell on this piece of paper. First, normally, and then again thinking of something that would make you angry."

"Ok, Professor," Harry responded as he cast the spell pointing his wand at the paper. A light came forth as normal, shining on the paper.

"Very good, now try it while thinking of something that would make you angry."

'Ok,' Harry thought, 'what makes me angry? Oh, yes, Professor Snape.'

With the thought of the unfair Professor swirling in his mind, he became a little agitated and said the spell again. The light shot out of his wand, but instead of just lighting up the area of the paper. It started to burn and brown the middle. Within a couple seconds, the paper burst into flames and smoldered itself out.

"I could sense your emotions Harry and you were only mildly agitated with that charm and could see the difference that made. You can see why you must control your emotions. That is why I will be helping you to control them and practice your Occlumency. You saw what can happen if you lets your emotions get out of hand. That is what happened with the painting of Mrs. Black and Krecher."

Harry started to apologize at this but Dumbledore waved off his hand.

"Nothing to apologize for Harry, it's nice not to have her yelling anymore and as for Krecher, we often in life get what we deserve justly served. Everything is fine. Do not worry about it. Now lets go downstairs. The order will be arriving soon and we shall want to be ready to talk to them."

After breakfast, Ginny told Harry that her and her mother were going to Diagon Alley after the meeting was over and that he couldn't come but she would get his school stuff for him.

"It's ok Harry, with you not along, it will makes some things easier to buy."

"What do you mean," Harry stated smiling at her.

"Well, I certainly can't have you around if I'm getting something for someone's birthday now can I. I know it is a few days late, but I didn't have a chance to get you anything before. So it will give me a chance to shop without you peeking. Ron and Hermione you should know have gotten you something too, they were waiting for you to come here before giving it to you. Maybe, when you feel like talking to them, we could all celebrate your birthday together."

"Ok Ginny, just promise me you will be careful there. Never know who may be around. Lets go back into the kitchen, I told Dumbledore I wanted you there when everyone is told about the prophecy."

With that, Ginny gave Harry a small kiss and walked before him into the kitchen.

Everyone in the Order of the Phoenix had already arrived and were waiting patiently as Harry and Ginny entered the room. Hermione and Ron were sitting in a back corner of the room, trying not to be in the way. Mrs. Weasley was not happy about her children being here but Dumbledore had requested they be there. Fred and George were sitting at the table along with Mr. Weasley. Everyone else, including Professor Snape, who showed his ever-constant sneer at seeing Harry, quieted down as Harry and Ginny sat down next to him.

Dumbledore smiled as Harry settled down with Ginny and started to speak.

"First, I would like to welcome everyone to this meeting. Most of you are now wondering why the children are here. Well, they are here mainly because of Mr. Potter."

"What's Potter done now," Snape snarled across the table.

"Now Severus, wait until I am done before you start to ask questions," Dumbledore replied quietly.

"Yes, let the Headmaster finish Severus," Prof. McGonagall stated bluntly.

"Ok, now that we are all settled. You all know that we were guarding the prophecy last year. Now, Voldemort knew what the first half of it said, as most of you do also. I, however, know all of it since I was the one that witnessed it happen and I have informed Harry at the end of the year what it was after what happened at the Ministry. Harry and I both feel that the rest of you should know what it says so that we know what needs to happen to end this conflict. In fact, the last couple days have been even more eventful after finding out that Harry here has been infused with powers that have been absorbed since he was one year old."

"Great, something else for Potter to have a big head over"

Harry started to get angry with this but Ginny reached and grabbed his hand. Dumbledore also sensed the rise in Harry's emotions and quickly headed it off. Hermione saw Ginny reach out to hold Harry's hand and some things were starting to click inside her head. She now knew what Ginny meant when she said Harry had her. They had finally told each other their feelings for each other. Hermione didn't know whether to be happy or sad at this. She wanted her friend back but at the same time her and Ron had pushed him away. She would have to talk to Ginny later on to let her know she may have figured things out and find out what should and should not be told to Ron.

While thinking this, Dumbledore had pulled out his pensieve and it started to show the Prophecy. What it told them left not one person unstunned. Harry was going to have to a murdered or die himself. There was no other way around it. Ginny was holding his hand, her head resting on his shoulder and he just say there. The adults around the room were sitting there not knowing what to do or say. Mr. Weasley was now holding Mrs. Weasley, having found herself faint after hearing what was said. McGonagall had a teary eyed look to her as she gazed at Harry, knowing one of her precious students was in danger even more now.

Dumbledore continued on. "There has been one development last night. Voldemort came to Harry in his dreams again but this time was chased off, it seems Harry here showed Voldemort a glimpse of his power and it was not to Voldemort's tastes.

"The Dark Lord was scared of Potter? Great, now we won't be able to stop him from doing anything he wants. The boy-who-lived won't be able to stop gloating over everyone now. Just like his father."

At this comment, people gasped all around the table. No one had ever been able to truly talk about Harry's parents without feeling uncomfortable around him. Snape had made another mistake it would seem.

Dumbledore saw Harry stand up, but he did not draw his wand. Dumbledore could feel the power pouring off of Harry. He wasn't going to need a wand. Ginny was almost as upset as Harry was, she couldn't believe that Snape would be so cruel.

Everyone was pushed back from the table except for Harry and Snape by an unusual force. The occupants of the room looked to Dumbledore but the look on his face told them this was not of his doing. It seemed everyone was about to be a witness to what Harry could now do. Ginny, Mr. Weasley, and Mrs. Weasley were over by Ron and Hermione now. George and Fred stared on in awe as Harry began to glow.

Ginny could picture what was going to happen when Professor Snape started to open his mouth. She hoped Harry wouldn't hurt him too much but there was no way she was going to stop the man she loved from doing this, Snape had hurt him too many times. And now seeing Harry, she held onto Hermione's hand, seeing the fear that was on her and Ron's face, Ron holding her other hand. There was good reason they should be in fear. Harry was in his own element now and there would be no way to stop him until this was worked out in front of them all. Everyone could feel the power but that isn't what caused the looks on their faces. It was Harry himself.

Those that have seen Dumbledore angry know what power coming off of him can do to those. He now longer looks as kind and is something to not wish upon anyone, his power being so manifested. But that was nothing compared to Harry at this point.

The green on Harry's eyes was glowing, shining lightly upon his features, a green glow evident over his eyelashes. Little flashes of lightning were streaking through his irises as he sneered at Snape. All around him, magical power and energy were being manifested in the physical surroundings. One did not need to be able to see auras to see Harry's. All around him was a glowing sphere of pure electrical might. Crackling on and off, the static charge around Harry flowed flashing at different points. Small items around the room were being levitated into the air. Harry was angry to be blunt and all of this anger was being directed at Snape.

"You," Harry whispered coldly, his voice menacing in the loss of emotion that was always there. "You shut your mouth. You know nothing of me, I thought that all those images you saw in my mind last year might change your opinion of me but I was wrong. Did you think I made up the images of abuse I suffered at my family's hands? The dog chasing me, being locked in a cupboard under the stairs. Did you think it was a joke? And then you have the nerve to talk badly about my father that I never have met. How do you think that makes me feel SNAPE," Harry screaming his name at him. "I never wanted this, I don't want to have to be a murderer or die. Not much of a choice is it. But you got to choose your life. I know why you hated my father, oh yes, I know more than you think I do. It's funny; I never thought you would have loved my mother. She told me."

At this, Snape face changed from a look of fear to questioning. Everyone was trying to understand what Harry meant. Only a few people in the room knew that Harry had the music box. Hermione and Ron had been trying to figure out this riddle since the day before when their owls came. Harry continued however, dispelling any questions.

" I received a gift from my mother Snape. A music box of hers, charmed to have herself held in permanent memories inside it. Inside that box I can talk to her and she knows everything that has happened since she died along with all the memories she had before then. She told me everything."

At this exclamation, Snape became truly scared. Harry knew things about him now no one else except Lily had known. He had everything in his knowledge and he knew it.

"I am going to say this once Severus," Harry spit out pronouncing his name with anger and bitterness. "I never want to here anything from you about me, my family, or my friends that in any way could be considered condescending or menacing. If I do, you are going to have to deal with my anger. I have too much to worry about now to deal with you and your jealousy over m dead father. I wish I could show you truly what I feel for you, but me being locked in Azkaban would not e helpful to the situation."

With that, Harry spun around, the power radiating from him snapping the kitchen door clean off its hinges flinging it down the hallway. Dumbledore sat there, almost looking sorry for Severus. The man had brought it upon himself but he was inside glad that Harry did not truly lash out at him, there was no way any of them could have stopped Harry before Severus would have been hurt.

"You monster! You knew you were hurting him saying that. You're lucky he didn't kill you! You may have deserved it! You should also know it won't be Harry you face, don't fear that, if you ever hurt him again. It will be me you find yourself facing!" Ginny screamed, and then without another word, ran out of the room to comfort Harry, finding him in his room crying. She wrapped her arms around him and rocked him as he let out the emotions the only safe way he could, the tears rolling down his cheeks silently. The most painful anguish filled tears being those given in utter silence. She held him to her, holding him tight and stoking his arm as she kissed his forehead.

"Everything will be ok Harry. I'm never leaving you, let it out. Let it all out," Ginny whispered as she sat on his bed, holding the body of the person she loved, a teenager that had been thrust into a situation of hate most could never face. Ginny knew that if Professor Snape ever hurt Harry again nothing would stop her from protecting Harry. She brought Harry's face up to hers and looked him in the eyes.

"I love you Harry," and she kissed him once gently and they both fell into a gentle nap holding each other.

Down in the kitchen, the crowd was beginning to come out of their shock. Dumbledore marched quickly over to Severus.

"You were very lucky indeed, Miss. Weasley was not wrong in any manner. Harry could have very well killed you. His power is tied to his emotions and he is little less than two times more powerful than me. You are very lucky. In fact, I think you should try to be nicer to Harry. I have talked to Lily myself and it is very much her. If you were to be nicer to Harry instead of trying to push every button he has he might one day let you in to talk to her. But I would warn you, don't try to force him into letting you see her. I'm scared to say I could have done little to help today before it would have been to little to late. Don't push the boy, he has enough problems without a taskmaster beating on his brow in class."

With that, the headmaster left Severus to sit and think on what happened. Hermione and Ron were talking to themselves, now knowing what the comment about telling Harry's mother about his owls meant.

Mrs. Weasley was very angry and asked the children gently to go upstairs and maybe find Ginny and tell Her that they would still be going to Diagon Alley and that maybe thy could stay and talk to Harry if he wanted while her and Ginny went to get everyone's things.

Ron and Hermione walked slowly upstairs searching for Ginny and Harry, both of them realizing that their friend needed them and that they had to find a way to get him to forgive them. The summer and last days of last year made much more sense now that they understood what Harry was going through. They need to help him, not hurt him. They, along with all their friends were going to need to support Harry. The best thing they could do would be to apologize for hurting him more before they could start to help him.

Ron and Hermione knocked on the door to Harry's and Ron's room gently and crept in to find Ginny holding Harry, protecting him from him pain both asleep now. It now made perfect sense to them both what was going on with the comments in the kitchen and Ginny yelling at Snape. Hermione and Ron both realized there best friend and Ron's sister were together. Hermione and Ron at quietly on Ron's bed, giving Harry and Ginny a few more moments to feel safe in each other's arms before awakening them.

As always, please read and review and tell me what you think and your ideas. Thanks =)
