Harry Potter and the Power of the Crystals
The last of belongings
As Harry opened his eyes for the first time, since the attack at Number 4 Privet Drive. He reached over to get his glasses off the bedside table but instead felt someone holding onto him. He moved his head to see who it was and found Ginny looking tenderly at him. He carefully turned his body around so that he was facing her. Harry curled up next to Ginny's body and wiped away a tear that was slowly falling down her face. Ginny's face lit up as did his. Harry put his arms around her and held her close.
"I have been so worried" Ginny said holding back her tears as she tried to sound brave for Harry's sake.
Harry had a smile on his face and moved a little bit closer to Ginny, "I 'm so happy to see you"
"I am happy to see you too, love," she whispered into his shirt
"How are you?" Harry asked "I left you all alone out there. I'm sorry, I'm so sorry. What if you got hurt? It would have been my fault."
"Don't blame yourself Harry, you couldn't help it. No one can predict the future. And look at me, I'm perfectly all right." Ginny said trying to comfort him "What about you?"
"I'm fine" He replied sleepily starting to dose a bit
"Good because I think you left before we could finish something," Ginny said pulling him in for a kiss that woke him completely up.
"What's going on here?" came a voice and the two sprung away like rabbits. Ron stood in the doorway, coughing as he was going red in the face.
"Umm…" Harry said slowly leaning forward as he himself blushed, embarrest at being caught by her brother.
"Ron have you ever heard of knocking" Ginny said not even worried about his reaction, as she got out of bed and walked over to him. "What do you want anyway?"
"I have to give Harry his potion Gin" Ron said eyeing down to the potion
"Well I think I can help him with that" Ginny said grabbing the vial out of his hand before he could react
"Sure give it to him, but I think I'll stay anyway" Ron stood firmly blocking the doorway, with no sign of moving away.
"Ron that really isn't necessary, do you want me and Harry hanging around you and Hermione when she arrives." Ginny asked sarcastically with a nasty smile on her face, while Harry was doing his best not to laugh out loud.
"Ummm… Fine you can" said Ron trying to make them believe him "We are just good friends".
"Sure, whatever you say... we don't really care" lied Ginny walking over to Ron and gently pushing him out of the door way, "Goodbye" Ginny told him and shut the door in his astonished face and locked it so no more unwelcome intruders will come in unannounced. "Now where was I before Ron came in," Ginny asked slyly with a smile on her face. "But firstly I better give you this potion I suppose."
"Oh yum, yum!" Harry replied sarcastically making a funny face
"I know, but you got to have it," Ginny told him smiling in encouragement. "Drink up" and she handed the vial to him.
"Thanks" he told her gloomily and swallowed the potion in one gulp.
Ginnylowered herself onto the bed again and laid down next to Harry, who was making weird faces after drinking the potion. She was once again facing him. Casually she placed her arm around him. "Harry," she asked after a while, " you do know you can talk to me about anything…anything at all."
"Yeah I know," replied Harry " Would you mind leaving the room, Ginny. Do you? I need to get dressed. I'll see you downstairs in a moment," without a reply he was already slipping out of the bed.
"Umm… ok I will see you later," Ginny said trying not to sound too hurt as she walked towards the door. She unlocked it and gently closed the door. She knew it was going to be hard for him to open up to her, but she knew she had to get through to him. Maybe she was taking things too fast. Oh! She didn't know. How am I meant to understand males? God I am only a single girl! She thought as she slowly made her way to her room to have a shower and get dressed.
It was about 10 minutes before Harry came down to the kitchen after Ginny got there.
"Oh! Harry dear it is great to see you looking a little bit better" Mrs Weasley said as she rushed over to Harry and gave him a bone breaking hug. "What about a little bite of breakfast?"
"No thanks Mrs Weasley. I don't feel hungry at the moment." Harry replied, hoping she would not make him eat.
"Now Harry that's nonsense" she replied filling his plate with bacon, eggs and toast. "Eat up, you're looking awfully thin and sallow."
Harry looked down at his plate after he sat down between Ron and Ginny. He looked up to at Mrs Weasley and saw that she wanted him to eat something. Trying not to disappoint her, he started to nibble on the toast, and then feeling rather hungry Harry ate his eggs and bacon. He was enjoying the meal and was eating very quickly and wasn't feeling sick. First he asked for seconds then thirds. He felt very full but not sick. He wondered if Madam Humphrey had given him something to settle his stomach, because if she did he was most grateful.
"So when will Hermione be arriving?" Harry questioned. Ron blushed at his name. He was lucky the twins weren't at the table or he would have been teased something bad!
"She will be meeting us at Hogwarts" Ginny Replied wondering how he was going to take the news. She wasn't sure that he would remember the reading of the will would be at Hogwarts. She still wasn't sure where it was going to be held as Hogwarts was a big place.
"Why at Hog…" Harry started but Mrs Weasley interrupted.
"Now then Harry," Mrs Weasley said in a soothing voice and putting her hand on his shoulder, "Today is the reading of Sirius's will. I am assuming you are attending so I have put some clothes out on your bed for you to wear. When you are ready come downstairs and we will be waiting to take you to Hogwarts; were the will, shall be read."
"Of course," Harry said trying to make his voice sound brave "I will see you in a few minutes," he got up and left the table. Harry made his way to his room to get dressed. His mood wasn't improving.
When they had arrived at Hogwarts, they made their way to Professor Dumbledore's office, Dumbledore led the way to where the will was going to be read; which was in the Gryffindor Tower.
"This is the Headmaster Dumbledore, dear lady please open the door," Dumbledore spoke gently to the fat lady. The portrait swung open and they stepped inside. Once inside Harry saw Moony, Tonks and a Goblin who looked very familiar. He suddenly remembered that it was the Goblin who had first taken him down to his vault all those years ago. His name was Griphook. He was standing in front of a fire with the lounge chairs surrounding him. They all quickly looked at each other, thinking about what they should say, but instead was rushed to there seats by Griphook.
"This is the will reading for Mr Sirius Black, whose residence is Number 12 Grimmauld Place. The reading will commence now," announced the Goblin
"To Harry I leave Number 12 Grimmauld Place and all the furnishing that go with it. I also grant him permission to be of age as of now but still have a legal guardian (just to keep an eye on him), and therefore hand over the rights to the Potter family vault number 717."
"To Remus and Tonks I leave half of my vault to you. Tonks I thought it would be easier to give you both the money then to put in one vault, so you didn't have to worry about it when you to finally get married to some wolf," Tonks went red in the face "Don't worry he is to stupid to know what I mean."
"To The Weasley family I leave for you the other half of my vault for all your help and love that you have given Harry through these years. I know you aren't going to accept this but it's too bad because only I can give permission to take the money back out of your account and as I am dead that isn't going to be any time soon."
"To Hermione Granger I leave you, two old spell books that have been in my family for many years. I don't know what spells are in this book but I can assure they are not dark. The books are both over 100 years of age. These books are price less and are kept in my family vault. I do not recall the names of these books as, you know I was not a big reader. Use then usefully as, it has the answers to an ancient key. Thank you for everything you have done for me I shall never for get you.
"To Professor Albus Dumbledore I leave you my most priceless possession, Harry. You are his legal guardian to keep an eye on him even though he is from now of an age. I trust you will look after him as James, Lily and I see fit."
"Thank you all it has been the greatest thing knowing you, and I will be always watching over you. Have fun with your life; don't waste time, because time isn't sometimes just a virtue. I leave Professor Dumbledore, Harry, Remus, Tonks, Hermione and the Weasley family a letter of my last goodbyes. You will receive these after all the papers have been signed."
Tonks and Remus walked over to Harry after the entire will has been read out.
"Alright Harry," Tonks said trying to figure out if she should give him a hug or not.
"What does Sirius mean by the Potter Family vault?" Harry thought out allowed "I already have all my parents money. What does he mean Remus?"
"Umm…. Well you see Harry, your Mum and Dad told us not to give it to you till you were old enough, and they made us promise we wouldn't tell, and umm…"
"What do you mean you have been keeping this from me!" Harry said, this started to annoy him. What else didn't he know about his own life? "What's in it then?"
"Umm…you see we don't actually know. Your Mum and Dad kept all the priceless possessions in it, but when Voldemort came to power they kept it closed. They didn't want to risk someone stealing some of the powerful things in there. Your Dad told Sirius and me, that if some of the things in there got into the wrong hands no one would or could keep locked away" Remus said "But what he means by locked I don't know."
"Griphook, when can I go and see vault 717?" Harry asked pushing everyone out of the way.
"As soon as you wish Mr. Potter" Griphook replied a little startled and made a motion to Harry to follow him.
A/N: Hi all, hoped you liked it. I no it was a bit mushy in the beginning, but I had to get it across that they are really in love and Harry, Being Harry isn't being opened with Ginny. Please R/R. I would like to thank my Beta "Ma petit" for all her work on this chapter. She also has a story out if you want to read it. I would suggest you give it a look it is called "Ancient Mystery". Give it a look. Any way thanks for reading again, hope I didn't disappoint you to much. Your author Professor Scott
