"Do I really have to wear this?" he asked Lupin and Ron.
"Yes," Lupin said putting on his shoes. "You used to wear them all the time."
"It looks like a dress," Harry said running his hands over the long material of his dress robe.
"It won't look that way if you open it up and show the tux under it," Ron said standing behind him.
Harry opened the front of the robe to show the simple black tuxedo under neath. "It still looks like a dress" Harry thought.
"It does not look like a bloody dress," Ron said harshly. "Just stop complaining, we have to get down stairs, the girls will be back soon. If mum sees we aren't ready..... well I don't want to think about it," he said with a shudder and walked out of the room.
Ron walked down stairs right when Hermione apparated back to the house. She spotted Ron with a puzzled look on his face.
"Ron?" Hermione asked and walked across the room to the red head. "What's wrong?"
Ron looked up at Hermione and placed a hand around his pendant. "Has it been working?" he asked starring at her pendant.
"Once. I heard his say 'Her eyes'," She said and placed a comforting arm around his shoulder. "Did you hear something Ron?"
"I did. Just now he was complaining about his dress robes looking like a dress. He didn't want to wear them. I heard him think 'it still looks like a dress.' Merlin Hermione I didn't think he would ever remember anything, let alone these bloody pendants would ever work again," He said pulling her into a hug.
"He's remembering Ron; you saw him yesterday. It comes and goes. He called me Mione last night," she said smiling at the memory of last night.
"At the moment, I think he's jealous," Ron whispered and pulled apart from Hermione to find and very upset and confused Harry standing on the top of the stairs.
Hermione looked up at the stairs and smiled up at Harry. She could tell he was upset with her, and jealous of Ron, but she couldn't help but smile at him. He was just so handsome.
"Harry," she said as he walked down the stairs, "You look wonderful."
"Thanks, so do you," he said and walked past the two.
"Don't be mad at us," Hermione thought hoping Harry would hear her. She saw him jump and look around the room. She smiled--He had heard her.
Harry jumped again when several loud pops sounded behind him. The rest of the wedding party and guests had arrived.
The wedding started several minutes after everyone had arrived. Harry was nervous and fidgeted thought the whole ceremony. He did not like that Mrs. Weasley would look at him, then burst into tears. He didn't like the glares he was receiving from Snape and Malfoy. But above everything else he hated that he was hearing voices. He could hear both Hermione's and Ron's thoughts, he could also tell that Hermione was extremely happy for her mother, and Ron was hungry. In fact that was all Harry could hear Ron think about, how he could not wait to dive into his mothers chicken.
When the ceremony was done, Harry's head was pounding. All he wanted to do was seek the comfort of his room. He wanted to stay away from all the noise and try to figure what was going on with him. He was half way to the stairs when Hermione stopped him.
"Harry you can't go up stairs yet," She said as she grabbed onto his arm.
"I have a headache Hermione. I need to get away from all the noise," Harry replied.
Hermione smiled. She knew why Harry's head was hurting, and she desperately wanted to tell him he was not going crazy, but this was not the time or place. "I have a potion for the headache," she said handing him a small vile. "This won't last too long. Mum and Lupin will be leaving in a few hours, and then everyone else will."
Harry took the vile and gulped it down. "Thanks," he said handing the vile back. "I guess I'm stuck here," he said shrugging his shoulders.
"I'll be right here with you," she said and linked her arm with his. "They are good people, just give them a chance."
"I can tell they are, I just wish everyone would stop looking at me like I have two heads,"
"They are just surprised to see you; everyone is. They all though you were dead," she said getting very quiet.
"I know," he said. "Let's grab a plate," he said ushering her toward the large group of people.
"Harry!" Mr. Weasley said with a smile. "It's good to have you back."
Harry smiled slightly. "I am sorry about last night Mr. Weasley. I didn't mean to hurt you or your family,"
"Harry," he said placing a friendly arm around his shoulder. Harry instantly tensed up. "You have brought so much joy into our family. You could never do anything to hurt us,"
Harry eased away from Mr. Weasley grasp, hoping it would go unnoticed. "I.... er, was wondering if maybe sometime this week I could stop by for the day? Hermione told me I spent a good amount of time at your place, and well maybe it will help me remember anything."
Mr. Weasley smiled. "You are always welcome at The Burrow. Just owl us and let us know when," he said as he saw Fred and George whispering in the corner. "I have to go now Harry. I think Fred and George are up to something and that is never good," he said and rushed across the room to the twins.
"We can stay at The Burrow after we visit Hogwarts," Hermione said as she pulled Harry over to Ron, Ginny, and Draco.
"Harry!" Ginny said beaming up at him. "How are you?"
Harry couldn't help but smile at the red head. "I am good Ginny, how are you?"
Ginny smiled and Harry and then at her brother, Hermione, and Draco. "Never better,"
Harry looked over at Draco and hand his free hand through his hair. "Malfoy, I'm sorry about yesterday," he said looking down at the ground.
"Don't worry about it Potter, I know it can't be easy for you right now. But once you get all your memory back there won't be any excuse to attack me like that,"
Harry looked up at the silver haired man. "I am sure I could find some reason to," he said looking at Ginny. "You hurt her, and I will hurt you twice as badly."
"Harry, I think mum wants to see us," Hermione said and pulled Harry away from the group.
"I'll come with you," Ron said and followed the two.
"That was really unnecessary Harry," Hermione said stopping near the stair case.
"What?" he asked
"There is no need for you to threaten Draco,"
"I didn't mean to, but it just came out," he said shrugging his shoulders and looking at Ron for support.
"Hermione, it's what he would have done if he had his memory back, Ginny is like a sister to Harry you know that. Beside it IS Malfoy she is dating. I did the same thing."
"Thank you Ron," Harry thought.
"Any time mate," Ron said mentally back to Harry.
"What the hell!" Harry yelled and ran up the stairs.
"Harry!" Hermione and Ron yelled and ran after him.
Harry ran to his room and slammed the door behind him. He began to pace the length of his room. "What is going on with me?!" he yelled.
"Nothing," Hermione said quietly from the doorway.
"Yes there is! I am hearing voices!" he said and ran his hands thorough his hair roughly. "Just send me to St. Mungo's I am sure they have a bed next to Lockheart I could have!"
"It's okay Harry, we hear them too," Hermione said and stepped towards him. "It's the pendants," she said holding hers up for him to see.
"What are they?" he said trying to keep his temper down.
"Hermione we should tell him," Ron said stepping into the room. "We should have told him when he first got back,"
"I know," Hermione said sitting on the edge of his bed. "Sit Harry. This is going to take some time," she said and began telling him the details of the pendants.
Harry sat next to Hermione as she told him about the power the pendants held. Relief instantly washed over him, he was not going crazy.
"I am sorry I didn't tell you before," she said softly.
Harry took her small hand in his. "I understand why you didn't tell me right away, but why didn't you tell me when you started to hear my thoughts?" he said looking at her, then to Ron.
"I just heard them today," Ron said, "I haven't really had a chance to talk to Hermione about it."
"I was going to tell you after everyone left," she said.
Harry grabbed the pendant hanging around his neck, he then glanced over at Hermione who was looking at him. "I think we should go back down. You mum and Lupin should be leaving soon."
"I hope there is still some cake left!" Ron said as he walked down the stairs.
Hermione and Harry laughed. "Some things never change," Harry said. "The whole time during the ceremony he was thinking of his mum's chicken."
"You've had her chicken, its bloody amazing!" Ron said smacking his lips together.
Harry and Hermione entwined hands and laughed at their best friends eating habits.
"Hermione!" Elizabeth called. "Is everything all right?"
Hermione smiled at her mum. "It is,"
"Oh good. Remus and I are about to leave. Are you sure you and Harry are going to be okay?"
"We will be fine Elizabeth," Harry said. "We are going to visit Hogwarts and The Burrow," he said.
"Good," Remus said coming up behind his new wife and wrapping his arms around her. "I know Dumbledore is looking forward to having you both back on the grounds for a while."
Harry and Hermione smiled at the two in front of them. "I think we may stop over at Godric's Hollow too," Hermione said.
"Well it sounds like you two will be busy while we are gone. I hope you two have a good time, and do be careful," Elizabeth said giving her daughter a smile.
"We will mum. You guys have a good time in America," She said
"We will," Remus said nuzzling his wife's neck.
"Don't do anything I wouldn't do," Harry said giving Remus a wink.
Elizabeth pulled away from Remus and pulled her daughter into a hug. "Don't hold him back dear, let him get to know the rest of the people in his life."
"I will mum. I love you. Have a good time!" she said and pulled away from her mum and was caught in another hug by Remus.
"Take care of him. He still needs you, but he needs everyone else too," Remus said into her ear.
"I know. He needs you too, so you better come back safely. Take care of mum too, don't let her run wild in America," Hermione said with a smile.
"I won't," He said and pulled away from her.
Remus and Elizabeth made their rounds around the room saying farewells to the rest of the guest before they used a portkey to leave for America.
All of the guests began to leave shortly after, only Molly, Author, and Ron remained.
"Let me help you clean up," Molly said and began cleaning up the mess.
"No Molly, it's okay," Hermione said trying to stop her.
"Here we go," Ron said making himself comfortable next to his father on the couch.
"What?" Harry asked as he watch Hermione and Molly argue over who was cleaning up.
"They always do this," Arthur said. "When we had a going away party for Hermione when she left for America she insisted on cleaning up, Molly and she argued for over an hour, and when they were done Ron, Remus and I had the place spotless."
"Well then what are we waiting for? Let's clean up. It can't take that long," Harry said and rolled up his sleeves.
"Harry?" Ron asked standing up and walking over to him. "Do you remember how to use your magic?"
"Hermione's been re-teaching me,"
"Where is your wand?" Mr. Weasley asked.
"Wand?" Harry asked. "Oh, Hermione never gave me one, I've been using wandless magic," He said to shrug his shoulders.
"Wandless?" Mr. Weasley asked. "I didn't know you could do that."
"Dumbledore taught me," he said as the three men began to clean up the house.
Hermione and Molly stopped arguing and looked over at the three men, they both had huge smiles on their face.
"Looks like it worked again," Molly said.
Hermione smiled. "I hope Harry doesn't hurt himself or the others. He is still remembering how to do it all."
"He has a good teacher," Molly said and pulled Hermione into a hug.
"We are going to stop by later this week and stay for a few days. I hope that will be okay,"
"It will. Arthur already told me Harry asked to come over,"
Hermione smiled as she watched Harry and Ron finish up the last bit of cleaning.
"It's good to have him back," Molly said as the three men walked into the kitchen
"Well we cleaned up for you," Ron said. "I am tired now, I going to go home. Let me know when you are going to Hogwarts, I'll make sure I have the hut cleaned up," he said and apprated to his home, Hagrid's former hut.
"We should be going too." Author said. "Let us know when you two are coming by."
"We will," Harry said looking at Molly. He took a tentative step towards her and gave her a smile. She smiled back and the two embraced in a hug. Molly and Hermione instantly began to cry.
"I've missed you so much Harry," she sobbed.
"I know. I've missed you too, Molly," he said and pulled away from her. He still wasn't comfortable with contact with anyone other than Hermione, but he knew that Molly needed to hug him, almost as much as he needed to hug her.
"We will see you in a few days," Arthur said, taking his crying wife in her arms and apprated home.
Hermione looked at Harry. He could see tears swimming in her eyes. "Don't cry, love," he said and pulled her into a hug. "It's okay. Whatever it is, it will be just fine."
"You hugged her," she sobbed out.
"You're crying because I hugged her?" he asked running a hand though her hair.
"She's wanted to hug you since last night. I told her earlier that you may not to for a while,"
"I know," he said pulling away from her and walking into the sitting room, with her close behind. "I don't know why I did it. I just felt like I needed to."
"You made her very happy," she said tried to fight back a yawn.
"You're tired, " he said and looked up at the clock above the mantle. "I didn't realize how late it was. We should go to bed."
Hermione smiled up at him. "I guess you're right," she said as they began to climb up the stairs. "Did you want to go to Hogwarts tomorrow? Or wait a day or so?"
"I don't know, how about we decide when we get up," he said as they reached his room. "Looks like this is my stop," he said with a smile and leaning over to kiss her lightly on the check. "Good night Mione," he said and walked into his room and gently closed the door behind him.
Hermione walked happily to her bedroom. She was going to enjoy the next few weeks being alone in the house with Harry.
It was 3:00 a.m. and Harry had been tossing in his sleep since midnight. It was hopeless. He wasn't going to get any sleep soon. He climbed out of bed and walked out of his room, not bothering to put on his shirt. He quietly crept down the sitars and walked silently into the kitchen to make some tea.
When he entered the kitchen, he found that he wasn't alone, Hermione was in there helping herself to some leftover wedding cake.
"Harry!" Hermione said and rushed over to him. "What happened?!" she said as her hands instantly went to his chest where dozens of scars graced his well-formed chest.
Harry instantly wished he has remembered to put his shirt on. "It's nothing," he said and pushed her aside and walked farther into the kitchen.
Hermione gasped again when she saw his back. Covering it was a huge scar in the shape of the Dark Mark.
Ah! Sorry about the cliffie! I had to do it! I hope you all liked this chapter. Sorry there wasn't more with the wedding, but it really didn't matter in the story, I just used it to get to the end part. Next chapter should be out on Sunday. Hope it was long enough for you all.... and thanks for the reviews!
