Dark Betrayal
Chp. 4 Meeting Again
One angry Sirius Black was running as fast as he could towards the front doors of Hogwarts. Wild thoughts were running through his head. Most of these thoughts were about Harry Potter, his godson. He was extremely worried about him. Harry had just been taken out of Azkaban and was not healthy. Sirius remembered that he had been terribly ill when he had escaped and hoped that Harry was alright.
Sirius had been on the verge of running about the country , looking for his godson a month ago, but Dumbledore had told him to be rational, that he could not find Harry by himself, that he should get people who do that kind of thing every day to do the job, but what had happened? EVEN THE AURORS COULDN'T FIND HARRY!!! Nobody was going to stop him now!! Sirius was going to turn everything upside down and sideways to find his godson!!
He had reacted just the same way when Dumbledore told him that Harry was guilty of murder , but of course at the time Sirius was a wanted criminal and Dumbledore had locked him in a room so he couldn't get out and save Harry. Sirius was brought out of his thoughts by the sound of footsteps behind him. He didn't have to turn around to know that it was Dumbledore, as they were the only people in the school this summer, besides Snape, who never left the dungeons if he could help it..
"Sirius," Dumbledore began, in a calm soothing voice. " Calm down. Harry will come out when he's ready. You saw him deflect the stunning spell , and you saw him apparate. Harry is safe."
" HOW WOULD YOU KNOW THAT, THOUGH??" Sirius yelled at the top of his voice. He wasn't going to let Dumbledore talk him out of this. Not this time! At that last thought, Sirius ran full force through the open doors of Hogwarts, transforming into a big, black, grim like dog and sprinting off towards the forest.
Molly, or rather Ginny's Mum, had been acting as normal as could be expected, but Ginny had a sneaking suspicion that her mum was just acting strong for her children. Arthur , or Mr. Weasley, was pretty torn up even though he hadn't known Harry as well as the rest of them. Ginny had been okay, of course she felt guilty for not trying harder to show that Harry was innocent but it was not the same for at least she had tried.
Ginny had always believed Harry, it was like there was this connection between them ever since the Chamber of secrets incident. She could almost feel his emotions and such. It sounded strange so she never told anyone but the day he was taken to Azkaban she could almost feel the betrayal and sadness, but the worst feeling was that of cold acceptance. Almost like, she couldn't explain it, he knew that that would happen. Harry was a complicated person, very sweet, brave and would do anything for friends but if you were enemies with him , let's just say you should watch out.
If Ginny thought very hard on finding Harry, she could see him in her mind almost as if he were in front of her sometimes blurry, sometimes clear. That's it! Ginny jumped of her seat and ran across the room to grab her cloak. She knew where Harry was, for the first time she had seen his surroundings, not just him. She had seen it! He was in a huge house, somewhere in a forest. The house was hidden by an invisibility charm! Following the connection, Ginny Weasley was gone.Harry Potter was pacing back and forth across his private room. He had been recieving owls constantly, he of course just sent them right back, but it was getting on his nerves all the same. The most frequent writer was Ronald Weasley, who had taken it upon himself to finish the entire paper supply on earth writing to Harry. Not that Harry cared what the traitor had to say.
He was also getting mail from Hermione Granger, who ,he had heard in Diagon Alley when he had gone in disguise, was the Arithmancy professor at Hogwarts, he didn't open that either. He was getting tired of all the mail. He was trying to think of something to filter it but nothing came to him, so his mind starting drifting.
He thought of everyone who said they were his friends, who said they cared about him, only to betray him when he needed them most. Except one person. Harry thought about the youngest Weasley often. She would be eighteen now, as he would be turning twenty soon. He remembered her as the girl who, the day he was condemned,came yelling that she knew of his innocence and that she believed him. They had just started becoming friends that year, and maybe something more, and she had still believed him where Ron and Hermione hadn't.
At the thought of Ginny, Harry had unconsciously stopped pacing and slowly walked, as though drawn by something, through the Manor out the front door through the garden and passed the invisibility barrier only to come to a screeching halt when seeing the person who had been in his thoughts, five years older, standing straight in front of him with her straight auburn, darkened over the years, hair and shining honest brown eyes, and not knowing how to react.
Ginny stepped forward and hugged him lightly before saying
" Hello Harry, I missed you." slowly but confidently.
" Ginny?" Harry said in a disbelieving tone " How did you get here? I mean how did you know I was here?"
" It's kind of hard to explain Harry, as I'm not quite sure. I thought about you very hard and then I Saw where I had to go." She explained in a soft quiet voice.
" Oh." Here Harry paused awkwardly, and scratched his head. " Ginny I, I think you should go. I'm not exactly ready to..."He trailed off here.
" To see people again?" Ginny concluded. She had expected that, of course, but she had just wanted to see him.
" Yes." Harry said a little more harshly than he had intended.
" It's okay, I just hoped to see you. I know it's a bit early for you. Every one is extremely sorry for what they did..."
"That does NOT mean I have to forgive them." Harry snapped coldly, cutting her off.
" I know Harry, I'm not telling you to forgive them. I haven't forgiven them. I just wanted to speak with you , that's all." Ginny said in a soothing voice. " Is it okay if I come again in a month or two, Harry? Just to talk?"
" Sure, I guess we could try and talk in a couple months."
" Oh and Harry, for your Birthday." Ginny said before setting down a small square package and disappearing with a pop. Harry knelt down and picked the present up before turning around and walking back up to his room to sort out his thoughts.
Ginny apparated back into her room before totally breaking down. She had looked into his eyes and they looked so lost and sad. She almost couldn't bear it, she had felt like breaking down right there but had to hold it, for him. The feelings that came from being around him, close to him again.
She could feel them, they were stronger. It was like being caught in a hurricane. She didn't know why she could feel what he was feeling but she was glad she could. That meant that it would be easier to talk to him, if she didn't burst into tears whenever he looked at her with those now dull green eyes.
She choked on a sob when she recalled that haunted look in his eyes. It was dreadful. She cried herself to sleep knowing that, she and only she would be able to help him. She would help him, even if it killed her.
