Chapter 6: Letters
Harry's stomach lurched. Ginny had a gun pointed at her. She was being robbed! Harry, without thinking, took advantage of the semi-darkness to sneak up on the robber. Harry got a running start. Then did a flying leap. The man with the gun was down. There was a loud bang. The gun went off! Harry felt a sharp pain in his thigh.
"Ginny! Run and get help. Hurry! I'll hold him!" Harry told her
Ginny came out of her fear-induced trance and ran. Harry managed to get a hold on the gun and directed it away from him. The man was struggling to free his arms and was kicking furiously. A knee came up and got him in the groin. Harry was near tears. Harry freed one of his arms and punched the man in his face. The first punch broke his nose and then Harry punched again. This time Harry got him in his temple. The man was out cold now. Harry got up and pointed the gun at him in case he decided to try and excape.
Fred, George, Mr. Weasley, Ginny and Bill were now rushing towards them. Harry must have looked odd for George was laughing his head off at how Harry was standing. He was leaned against the wall and standing on his left foot (his right was the one that was shot.) When Mr. Weasley and the others were surrounding the robber Harry made an attempt at walking. As a result, his right leg buckled under his weight and he dropped like a stone. As he sat on the ground he decided to look at the wound. His leg from the hole to his shin was soaked in blood. Harry did a double-take then. He saw the bone. The bullet cut through to the bone. Harry felt weak. He was about to say something when he passed out.
Harry awoke in his usual bed at the Durslys. Harry felt an unusual warmth around his feet. Suprized, Harry sat up. Sirius was sitting (in dog form) On his feet, fast asleep. Harry got out of bed, only to find a note spell-o- taped to his shirt.
Harry opened the envelope only to find 3 letters instead of one.
Harry-
Sorry you got hit with that what-do-you-call-it. And on your birthday too. What lousy luck. We got you over to St. Mungo's real quick which is good. I've got a couple questions that I never got to ask you so I will now. Do you reckon Hermione likes me? I mean not as a friend but, well you know. One more question. What are you doing getting My little sister's hopes up for? She seems to think she has some sort of chance with you. What kind of lies have you been feeding her? I mean this is my little sister we're talking about. If you even think about her that way then you'd better hope you-know-who gets to you before I do because there won't be anything left for him to curse!
Ron-
Harry put a reply on the back of the letter to Ron.
Ron-
There isn't anything between me and Ginny. Not meaning to imply anything but even if there was what business is it of yours? I mean she doesn't go saying that Hermione can't get together with you because you're her brother does she? Give her a break Ron. You're making her miserable. As for the Hermoine thing, I think you have nothing to worry about just as long as you ask her. Since I'm not able to come over this summer then now's the perfect time to ask her. I'll pay you a galleon if you ask and twenty if she says yes.
Harry-
p.s Get me a subscription to the Daily prophet will you. Here's a galleon. Owl me if it isn't enough
Harry re-read his letter, then opened his second letter.
-Harry
Ron is furious at you. Seems to think you're "Nest-robbing his baby sister." He is giving you some pratty excuse of a letter of accusation. Just a warning you. I had a good time with you last night. I owe you one for that muggle thief. Can't wait to see you again on August 26th.
Love Ginny
Dear Ginny,
I had fun too, except the gunshot. You don't owe me anything for that. But if you insist on doing something, get Ron and Hermione together. It will make the world a much better place when they spend more time in the garden snogging and less time devastating each other and fighting. Ron wrote me a long prattish letter making sure I wasn't snogging you in the alley last night. I will ask if he knows a good contraceptive charm because I might need it since I'll be spending a whole school year with you. I'd better get going now. I have a job to get to.
Your friend, Harry
Harry hurried and opened the third letter seeing that it was 7:15 and work at the Surrey zoo starts at 8:00.
Dear Harry,
Last night was the second time you saved Ginny's life and we are eternally grateful to you. We love you as if you were our own child. If we can do anything for you, anything at all we will. Just say the word. Dumbledore owled us yesterday and thinks you can come to The Burrow on the 26th if you want to. He also wants to know if you have had any dreams lately. Remember Harry, we will always be there to help you.
-Molly Weasley
P.s Ignore whatever Ron is saying about yesterday evening. He is really being a prat about this.
Written and then scratched out after that was written "Whatever he says, you can date Ginny if you want to. It'' up to her" Harry chuckled at this before writing a reply.
Dear Mrs.Weasley,
Don't try to make it sound like you owe me something. All it was was stupidity and luck on my part both times. It wasn't this crazy heroic event. I am nothing close to a hero. I can't wait to see you on the 26th.
Love, Harry
Harry attached his replies to Hedwig and sent her off. Harry changed, showered and then headed of to a long day at work.
A/n Thankies to all of you! So many reviews. I'm gonna have to speed things up soon. Otherwise we're looking at a fifty chapter story. I don't think you want that. Just a suggestion, I named the story Essence of Evil for a reason. So somewhere in this fic there is an Essence of evil. Guess to what it is.
Someone pointed out that I have this listed under H/C. I guess I gotta fix that.
Someone also said "This better not turn into H/g." I say to that "Eat Marshmellow for dissing H/G!" (__().(__().(__().(__().(__().(__().(__().(__().(__().(__().(__().(__().(__( ). at them
