11) Friends Like These.
Except this time his eyes were open and he was grinning stupidly. He soon stopped grinning as seven people threw themselves onto him all laughing and crying.
'Guys- please- I need air.' He finally managed to splutter. They instantly moved back and just as they did he felt the tears fall down his cheeks. He rose shakily from the bed- his legs felt like jelly after being in a coma for a month.
'We should go to the hall- that's where they'll be. Although maybe you should be in bed?' Fred asked seeing Harry swaying slightly.
'No way! Magic me some clothes.' He said and with a swish of his wand George made sure Harry had normal clothes on. He leant on Ron and the small procession made their way to the hall. They stood back as Harry opened the door- they couldn't wait to see their faces. He walked in and burst out laughing. It was obviously an order meeting. Every person turned to see who had entered and then all screamed.
'Hey- you look as if you've just seen a ghost.' He said cheerily. His friends burst out laughing when he said this.
'HARRY.' His mother shouted and ran towards him- followed closely by his father, Sirius and Remus. She almost strangled him in her hug, and when the other three threw their arms round him as well he thought he really would be dying.
'Um- guys- I think he still needs to breathe.' Ginny said quietly as she prised them off him. They let go quickly and he couldn't help but smile.
'Might I ask how you did it?' Dumbledore said watching all this with tears in his eyes. Harry and his friends walked up to the front and stood on the platform next to Albus. 'I'll leave you to it.' He said stepping down. Harry realized he needed to sit down, Hermione seeing this grabbed hold of his arm and Fred conjured up chairs from them all. He sank into his chair, exhausted.
'I spose I gotta start?' He asked them, Ginny squeezed his hand and he didn't let go. It seemed to give him strength. 'Well it seems that because myself and Tom finished off the link- by becoming joined we also finished what we were meant to have in the first place. I was supposed to have some of his hatred in me- and he should have had part of my love. The stronger of the two would be able to conquer their new feeling that didn't belong to them. The weaker would be consumed by it. In other words if Voldemort had managed to beat the love I gave him and I couldn't conquer the hate- I would have turned out to be the most dark person imaginable. Darker and stronger than him.' He sighed as he thought about this.
'It's OK Harry- we're all here.' Ginny whispered, he smiled at her and found the courage to continue.
'Well it came as a shock to me- I had no idea what was happening. All I knew was that I wanted to kill my friends. That scared the hell out of me. But then I realized- thanks to them being horrible that they had never deserted me. They had always followed me- I have always risked their lives and yet were still friends. But it almost killed me fighting with this darkness inside me. My body rejected it- my heart rejected it, but it was still there. Next thing I know I'm sinking into unconsciousness. Then when I felt as if I'm almost dead my friends arrive. But I was too weak. I felt it when the link broke and thought this is it- now I really am going to die.'
'We thought that this was the end. We thought he was going to die.' Ginny said in barely more than whisper. She looked at her friends and saw they had all joined hands, as the tears flowed down their cheeks. 'Then we had a visit from the twins.'
'We knew what to do. When we were at school we were in the library researching stuff for our joke shop when we fell across this book. It was in the restricted section of the library and we couldn't resist.' George said grinning guiltily.
'So being the pranksters we are we decided that we would read it and see if it was useful. What we found was to say the least scary. It told us how people used to give their souls to people. If a child was dying- parents would sell there souls to try to save their children.' Fred continued.
'But we read of this time when a group of friends were going to save their friend. He was in a coma and 7 friends would unite, give him their strength and a part of their soul so that they could waken him.' George shivered as though remembering some of the details.
'Thing was about this story- it was a prediction. It came under the section To Happen. So naturally we were a bit skeptical. Then when we learned that they had been unsuccessful.' Fred's eyes lit up as he was saying this and Harry found he was smiling slightly at his friend's excitedness. .
'We suddenly realized that there were indeed 7 of us. And that we had to do this to save him. So we did what we found was needed- we did what we would do time and time over.'
'We gave our life for Harry-' Fred added.
'As he would for us.' George finished. It always made everybody smile when they did that.
'And for that I am grateful. No more than that- I feel privileged. Your all great friends, better than anybody could ever want.' Harry added smiling, he could feel his eye lids becoming heavy and decided that he should probably sleep. So whilst everybody continued around him he fell into the most contented sleep he had had for a long time.
He didn't see all the tears still falling down people's cheeks as they celebrated the fact that he had survived. He didn't notice his friends never left his side. He didn't even feel the kiss that Ginny place on his cheek.
'Well- I propose that as it is almost time for school to restart we let these lot do whatever they want. I also think we should have a party so that Harry can open his birthday presents- which he still hasn't done.' Albus said just as the meeting was drawing to a close. Everybody nodded.
'Albus.' James asked quietly when the other order members had left and only the teachers and other people that were staying at school remained. 'Well- about the teaching position. We've all thought about it- we would really love to. I know that we already said yes- but we've given it even more thought. In light of recent events- we really do think that's it's imperative we teach all the kids we know.' Albus nodded his agreement.
'Could we start a dueling club as well?' Sirius asked though his eyes never strayed from Harry.
'And we think that he should restart the DA.' Remus added. Albus chuckled slightly. They had already thought about every argument possible and it was obvious they wouldn't be persuaded otherwise.
'I totally agree with you.' Albus said his eyes twinkling brightly behind his glasses. 'Although Harry may not like to restart the club.' He added as an afterthought. James shrugged and Albus smiled again- poor Harry- he didn't stand a chance against these three. They all turned to where Lily was transforming the friends chairs into beds. He smiled when he saw that they had all fallen asleep. Molly was flapping around them making sure they were tucked in and warm.
'I pity the kids- with those two clucking round.' Remus said, not hiding the amusement from his voice. 'They going to sleep here tonight?' Albus nodded and then ushered them out of the hall. James walked up to Harry and stood with Lily.
'Goodnight little Prongs.' He whispered.
'Night dad.' Harry replied turning over in his sleep. Lily bent down and kissed his cheek gently. Then followed the others out of the hall.
Thanks for reading- I'm putting chapter 12 up today as well. Chapter 13 will go up tomorrow- Friday- and probably chap 14 as well. I'm not sure if I can update over Christmas. If I cant I will put all of the chapters that I have written up tomorrow. That being up to chapter 18!
