Chapter Three – Reunions
A/N: This chapter, like the last one is rapidly changing POV's back and forth between what's happening at the noble house of black and what's happening at Anna's cabin. Thanks to all you reviewers, I love your feedback, so helpful. There might be a little Ginny/Harry in this chapter, or implying it anyway. I just love to torture Ron. (Ron: Hey! Ron Fangirls: Yeah! Hey! Me: Hee…Hee…Oops.) Also, this is to pay for the boring chapter last time (If you found it a little bit boring.) OH YEAH! And the order meeting was at Eight in the night so now it's night time when they go to get Anna. Remember that OK.
Before i go, I must thank my reviewers:
Chris - Thanks for reviewing I promise you'll find out where Remus comes in later. The Dark Lord at some time in the story will find out that Anna is missing, so no worries, it won't be rainbows and butterflies, it will have some violence later... because i just love seeing people punch up death-eaters! O.o. I hope you like this next chapter.
Encanted Blood - You reviewed for Chapter one right? Lol. I'm sorry i didn't write my thanks up on the second chappie I answered your questions in a reivew so that's taken care of. Thanks again for giving me feedback!
Astrea Von Hurston -Awww.... thanks! :) Aren't you just so cute Pats AVH's head. Thank you for such kind words.
Now to the story!
Harry Potter laid down to rest in his shared room with Ron, ready for a night's sleep. But for some reason, after hearing about the mysterious Anna Michelle, something had changed him, usually what he found easy was now hard, he kept imagining himself in Anna's situation. He was so lucky, to have friends and to allowed out in the daylight. But Anna wasn't allowed to do that. She had to stay in the same cabin, day after day after day. Harry surely would go insane if he was to do either.
He was awoken out of his thoughts when a snowy white owl, his own female owl, flew from outside, to his windowsill with a letter in her hands. Harry got out of bed and walked towards her, then stroked her head absentmindedly and realized that a note was held in her hands, he smiled and took it off her, causing her to fly over to her cage, then perching there for the night.
Harry took his time to open the letter, as if savoring it, for some reason, after a minute, he just ripped open the envelope, and opened up the letter inside. After reading it, he dropped it as if it was poisonous and rushed out of the room, apparently smiling. Just missing the awakening of his best friend, Ron watched Harry walk out in distress and went to go pick up the letter.
'Dear Harry, Meet me out on the Porch if you're having trouble sleeping, I've got a solution for both of us, Love Ginny.'
The overprotective brother of Ginny Weasley frowned in disgust, well, well, well, Mr. Harry James Potter, if you want to play it that way… He followed after Harry, hoping he could get there before they get into something unpleasant to think about.
Remus walked slowly into the cabin, telling everyone else to look in certain rooms, himself and Dumbledore went to check Anna's bedroom, the most likely place she would be. Severus and Alastor Moody were to check the kitchen, Nymphadora and the Team B leader to check the bathroom, Mundungus Fletcher and a Team B member to main corridors and Three team B members outside for back up.
They were supplied with wands, protective curse gear - the latest order protection, found out and made by Nymphadora and Alastor – and muggle walkie-talkies, to call for backup if needed. Remus, knowing the status of this place, thought it wasn't needed, but the Team B seemed to think differently.
He was slightly nervous as Dumbledore and himself took a turn right towards the child's room, Anna would be much older now, Will she hate him? Will he still have feelings for her? Remus loved Anna Michelle more than she knew, he loved her with every fiber of his body and hated to have to go, but it was either that or die, he remembered what he wrote in his diary. I'll come back for you. Before he gave it to her.
Then he realized that she wouldn't hate her, that she'd understand, he remembered the Anna he used to know, understanding, compassionate, but a little too curious, she'd be just the same, just the same as she used to be.
Or he hoped she would.
Harry walked onto the Porch with a small smile, he saw Ginny Weasley, the smallest of the Weasley family wearing a small pink nightdress covered with a purple silk nightgown, he loved the way the silk looked on her. Though she had no real feelings for him, and he had no real feelings for her, only friendship. He knew what she meant by solution.
"Gin." Harry's voice was quiet, he was now standing behind her, she turned around sharply, saw him, and smiled.
"Hey Harry, I couldn't fall asleep." She said smiling sweetly, he loved her smile, he loved everything about her. She was gorgeous, but still only a friend.
"Ditto." He replied, again in the small quiet tone. Ginny loved the way he spoke in the tone, so quiet and mysterious, yet so friendly all the same, she loved him. As a friend.
They both sat on the same chair on the Porch and started to talk to spend some time off sleeping. Ginny talked of the stars and what her star sign was, and Harry did the same, it was then they found their star signs compatible, Harry and Ginny smiled at each other and thought exactly the same thing, As friends.
Little did they know, Ginny's brother thought differently. As they talked, Ron Weasley lurked in the shadows. Ginny looked around as if something was bothering her, Harry asked what it was and she said she just had the familiar sensation of being watched.
"I hate that," She said, frowning, Harry stroked her cheek. Ron almost blew his cover, there was something going on between his sister and best friend. Meanwhile as he thought this, Harry too had the familiar sensation of being watched.
"So what was that, solution?" Harry asked, grinning at Ginny, Ron was about to blow a fuse as he realized what was coming up next. He jumped out in full view, and startled both Harry and Ginny, "GINERVA KAYLEIGH WEASLEY! HARRY JAMES POTTER!" He yelled, face red of rage Harry looked embarrassed and Ginny looked shocked and as he approached they accidentally fell overboard and off the Porch. Then all Ron heard was a Splash, and thought, are they alright? Did he kill them? He didn't mean too! But then he thought of the splash.
"Great Ron! Now I'm soaking wet!" Ron could still hear Ginny's voice in his head, she was gone, "Good one Ron!" He could hear his best friend's one in his mind as well, Oh Harry, Ginny.
"Ron what are you doing?"
He turned to see a pair of dripping wet and angry friends, What if he was wrong, what if they were just friends? Nah. Too many clues.
"What were you doing to my sister?!" Ron asked Harry protecting his sister he pulled Ginny from his former friend and scowled, "I read the note! What solution!? What were you implying?!" Harry and Ginny looked at each other, and started to burst out with laughter.
The room looked as it had always done, dull grey, everything was still there, except Anna, Remus stepped in first, he looked around in fear, then in all the places Anna would be hiding. He did the only other thing he could, he called her name.
"Anna!" He called, there was no response, he looked a little down when he realized, she must have escaped. Or, a pang of fear hit him… She was dead. Albus Dumbledore watched as the man before him almost completely broke down, he opened his ears to any sound of breathing or footsteps, but found none. No one noticed the small girl, unseen in the corner.
"It's alright Remus, we will find her…" She heard this, Remus Lupin! He had come back for her! Just like the diary said.
"But what if she's dead!" The man moaned, Albus Dumbledore sighed and looked at Remus with his twinkling blue eyes.
"Do not worry son, we will find her. Now, I will go and make sure anyone else hasn't found her. Maybe you would like to remember more about this room." Remus nodded and Albus left the man alone.
Albus walked down the corridor and met up with the rest of them, they all shook their heads when they were asked by him if they had found Anna or not. The worst had been confirmed, Anna was indeed, Gone. It was either she had escaped or she was dead. Both of which, Dumbledore didn't like at all.
Back in the room, Remus prayed, and spoke out loud, no one was there to hear him so why not? "Oh gods," he whispered as tears rolled down his face, he understood what depression felt like, he hadn't felt it since Sirius's death. "Please, Please tell me that Anna Michelle is alright." He turned to leave the room, tears still falling and face looking down.
Just as he reached the doorframe, he caught onto a small, quiet and utterly familiar voice.
"Remus?"
"WHAT IS SO FUNNY!?" Ron snapped, watching the two laugh until they cried, that only made them laugh even more, Harry finally regained his control as Ginny laughed and coughed at the same time, trying to control herself as well.
"You-you-you thought that we-we…" She started to laugh again, Harry stood smiling as he close d his eyes and shook his head, he leaned onto a pole on the porch, still breathless from laughing.
"What Ginny means is you thought that the solution was us having sex wasn't it?" Harry asked, smiling, both Ginny and Ron flushed a deep colour.
Ron admitted to his friend, "Yes, that is what that letter implied." Harry grinned at his best friend but his eyes were locked on Ginny.
"Ron, do you know why I took advanced potions for an elective?" Harry asked still grinning like a fool, Ginny watched him, maintaining every moment of this funny chapter to their life story. Ron shook his head and asked what it had to do about anything.
Harry was about to talk but Ginny beat him to it. "Harry and me had been away from you and Hermione so much, not for love, not so much for your privacy but because we have been concocting a potion, and experimental one anyway. Last time Harry or I took a sleeping potion, it didn't work properly, so we were making one that did work and made you sleep as if you fell asleep by yourself by just drifting, we were going to see tonight if it finally worked."
Ron flushed a familiar red and made his way to the door, "Okay, well I'll leave you too it," He smiled slightly, "Just don't become the next Snape, either of you." He walked fully out of view before Harry or Ginny talked to each other. They sat back on the couch and talked to each other, slowly coming into an end.
As Ginny was talking, she suddenly realized something, her feelings, she loved Harry and as Harry was listening, He suddenly realized it as well, he loved Ginny Weasley. So they became inches apart, and slowly, very slowly, bought it in to a soft and tender kiss, they both thought the same thing as they held on. What if Ron saw this? Both of them were amused with the scenarios of Ginny's brother.
Ginny finally started to speak, "Harry?" She asked, smiling mischievously.
"Yes, Ginerva?"
Ginny flushed red, "Don't call me that." She purred in a snappish sort of way, Harry looked sorry, she giggled and then said, "Want to test out this sleeping solution?"
Harry smiled and nodded dumbly. So much for friends, he thought, and bent in to kiss her again. Before he could however, Ginny shoved a vial in his face.
"This sleeping solution, not that sleeping solution," She said, smiling.
Harry could only grin.
Remus Lupin turned around to see a face he hadn't seen in five years. There before him stood Anna Michelle. She was exactly how he remembered, paper-pale, slimly built up, strong features, high cheekbones, gorgeous jade eyes, sexy eyebrows, and the long straight black hair that made her whole, she was perfect, even with dust mattered over her face.
"God…" He trailed off, She looked so depressed, just as he felt, tears of sadness and loss were replaced by tears of joy as Anna came closer and gave Remus the hug she had been waiting for, for five years.
His words in his diary were true, he had came for her. He hadn't changed a bit, she thought as he held her in his arms, he still had the short brown hair flecked with the familiar gray, the honey brown eyes, the stern features and the two slashes down his face, but she loved him. He was like her father and she was like his daughter. Vowing to never leave one an other.
But he did leave, part of her mind said, but the other disagreed. He came back. Remus Lupin, her old tutor and only friend had came back for her. As she held on, he lifted her up, she felt a free sensation as he looked into her eyes, honey brown meeting emerald green they came closer as she pillowed her head in his chest and he kissed her forehead. She was fine, she was happy. He had come back for her, and all she could do was cry, cry in her saviors arms.
A/N: Okay, there's another chapter done, I told you it would be longer, sorry for the cliffhanger but I couldn't make it anymore longer, it would end up in another cliffhanger, and I want to say sorry also for the number of changing POV's. I think I've beaten my record since last chapter, lol. But Anna finally meets Remus again. How sweet. Next Chapter: Anna finally meets daylight, or maybe that's next chapter, I dunno, I'm predicting the chapter to be as long as this one, maybe longer, I don't know. Also, please don't flame me for making this a Ginny/Harry and Hermione/Ron fic, if you don't like it, don't read this story, there won't be much more uncomfortable scenes (aka. Sex.) due to the young readers on this site, I am even sorry for mentioning that word at all in that story. It is rated only for the later use of violence and swearing VERY little of either and maybe for a few little kisses, but that is ALL.
