A Love Worth Fighting For

The Order of the Phoenix
Disclaimer: I own nothing and nobody except Katrina and Chris and Hannah and... well I own many things in this story just not anything you recognize from the books!
Star in a Daze: I hope you liked my last chappie! Thank you to my reviewers! Also, this chappie is very long, longer than the last one and it just might be the longest one that I have, I just couldn't find a good cut off point, I hope you don't mind!
This chapter is dedicated to all you people who like water slides!
Hermione woke up the next day with a smile. She couldn't wait until Friday when her and Harry would sing again. She rolled over and opened her eyes to see Harry sitting on the edge of her bed. He smiled and handed her a bouquet of lilies, her favorite flower.
"Happy five day anniversary, Hermione!" Harry said with a grin. She looked up at him and blushed.
"Thank you honey, I love them". She sat up and kissed him. "Now I'm going to get dressed and you and I can go to the water park today, it'll be fun". Harry smiled.
"What about Ron?" He asked, Hermione thought for a minute,
"Ron can stay here and do his homework". She said with a grin. Harry's smile widened. "Now go get dressed and pack your bathing suit and towel". Harry obeyed and left so Hermione could get ready. After about forty-five minutes Hermione came into Harry's room fully dressed with a mini backpack on her shoulders.
"'Mione, you could be in the desert for three weeks without anything and you would still be beautiful". Harry said with a gasp when he saw her and she blushed. She was wearing cut-off jean short-shorts and a bright blue tube-top. It wasn't anything spectacular but was still beautiful.
The two of them walked down to the kitchen to find Ron eating toast. Hermione explained everything and Ron agreed realizing that there would probably be a few things that he didn't want to see.
After Harry and Hermione finished eating, Hermione sought out her mom to drive them to the water park.
Harry walked out of the change rooms and put his cloths in the locker that he and Hermione were sharing and waited for her to get out of the change rooms. She walked out and Harry noticed that she was wearing a different bathing suit from the one he was wearing on his birthday. It was a black string bikini with red flames on it. She had a wrap around the bottoms that matched the bathing suit perfectly. She walked over to him and kissed his cheek.
"Honey, you're drooling". She said. Harry blushed and he and Hermione walked over to the first water slide. It was called "The Plunge of Death". It was a very tall slide that went in circles about three times and then dropped straight. Hermione looked at the slide and started to move to the one beside it. Harry noticed this and grabbed her hand.
"Honey, it's okay, I'll be with you. I'll make sure nothing happens". He kissed her cheek and led her over to the line. The line wasn't too long because it was still early but they still waited for a good five minutes before it was their turn.
"One at a time please," said the man when Harry and Hermione went to go together. "It is dangerous to go more than one". Hermione looked at Harry.
"I can't do this Harry, I just wont be able to without you there with me". Harry smiled.
"Its okay 'Mione, I'll be right behind you, I promise". Hermione smiled and kissed Harry on the cheek.
"I love you". She whispered and then went down the slide.
"She's got a nice rack". The man said to Harry, looking at Hermione as she went down. Harry looked at the man ready to kill him. "I mean she's probably really young but really, really stacked". This really made Harry mad. Harry turned to the man and tapped him on the shoulder. The man looked at him. "What?" Harry punched him in the face.
"If you ever talk about my girlfriend like that again, I will hunt you down and kill you". Harry said scathingly. The man looked at Harry and motioned for him to go down the slide and Harry did just that. When he got to the bottom he found Hermione waiting for him. He splashed into the water and she rushed over to him.
"Harry, what's wrong?" Hermione said worried. Harry looked at her.
"That guy up there was the biggest horny slut I have ever seen in my life!" Harry said. Hermione laughed at this. She grabbed his hand and the two of them went on to the other water slides.
Later that day Harry and Hermione decided that the park was getting too crowded and all the horny sluts (both male and female) were there so they went back to Hermione's house.
"Harry!" Harry and Hermione heard Ron yell as they entered the house. "Hedwig just came with a letter for you!" Harry ran over to him and grabbed the letter that Ron handed him.
Dear Harry.
Hi Harry. I hope you are doing well. I heard that you were staying with Hermione. I hope you two are having fun (wink wink) I know you like her, are you going to make a move? Okay, I'll get to the point, I know you are interested on being updated on what is going on in the order so I wrote this to tell you, just don't tell Molly, she'll have my head in a silver platter. We have no lead on where Voldemort is but we have seen many clues on what he is going to do. There have been many attacks on muggles and they were all in Surry, getting closer and closer to Privet Drive. The order is doing the best they can to keep the attacks away from Little Winging but there is only so much we can do. Enclosed is a proposal from the order that we all hope you and Ron and Hermione will accept. We don't know if Ron and Hermione's parents will approve (well we know that Ron's parents wont) but we send the offer to you three anyway. We hope to see you soon!
Moony
Harry read the letter with interest and then pulled out the other piece of parchment.
To: Mr. Harry James Potter
Mr. Ronald Micheal Weasley
Miss. Hermione Anna Granger.
From: The Order of the Phoenix
We would like to inform you that you have been invited to join the Order of the Phoenix. You have shown exemplary skills in the Defense Against the Dark Arts and willingness to fight against Voldemort with all your power. We hope you will take this offer and respond immediately. We await your owl.
Signed: Remus Lupin
Alastor Moody
Charlie Weasley
William Weasley
Deggilus Diggle
Albus Dumbledore
Minerva McGonagall
Severus Snape
Poppy Pomfrey
Fredrick Weasley
George Weasley
The list of names continued for the rest of the page but Harry couldn't see Molly or Arthur's signature anywhere. Harry smiled. The order had finally realized that Harry was competent enough to fight Lord Voldemort. He showed the letter to Hermione and Ron.
"Harry, does this mean that we are going to be in the order?" Hermione asked excitedly. Harry nodded.
"Yes, as long as you two can get your parents to agree. Hermione, I don't think you will have a problem but Ron, you definitely will. You better start working on them". Ron nodded.
"Yeah, I'm going to go home tonight and start talking to them. I'll go start to pack and I'll floo home from Katrina's house". Ron walked up the stairs and packed fast. He came back down and said his goodbyes.
"I'll see you two soon; don't do anything I wouldn't do". Ron said with a grin.
"What you wouldn't do or what you haven't done? Because if it's what you haven't done than we already did it because you haven't done anything. Well anything that you were allowed to do, we could count the time you molested Lavender, and my sister but-". Harry said and Ron hit him.
"I'll miss you too Harry". Ron said. He held out his hand but Harry ignored it and gave his best friend a hug.
"We'll see you soon Ron". Harry said and Hermione came over and gave Ron a kiss on the cheek.
"Bye Ron, stay away from your parents after you tell them". Hermione said with a laugh.
"Bye guys". Ron said and he walked out the door and over to Katrina's house.
That night Harry and Hermione ate dinner with Frank and Elizabeth.
"Mommy, Daddy, I have something to ask you". Hermione said. Frank and Elizabeth looked at their daughter. "Well, Harry and I, and Ron of course were invited to join the Order of the Phoenix. May I join?"
"What is this Order?" asked Frank.
"It's an extensive group of very talented people in DADA. Our headmaster Dumbledore even asked us to be in it". Harry smiled. He always knew Hermione could tell her parents the truth but mean a whole different thing.
"Of course you may join sweetie". Frank said.
"Thank you Daddy". Hermione got up from her seat and went over to hug her parents. Just then the phone rang. Hermione rushed over to pick it up. "Hello... oh dear... no way... really? Okay, here he is... Harry, it's Ron, he needs to talk to both of us". Harry ran into the living room and picked up the phone.
"Hello?"
"Hey Harry. My parents are letting me join". Harry almost had a heart attack.
"What?"
"They are. They said that I needed to learn how to defend myself and how to help others so they said I could join". Then Hermione joined in.
"I can't believe it, are Fred and George joining too?"
"Yup!"
"Oh my lord!" Harry said.
"I know, well Mom and dad need me to help with the dishes, I'll see you later. Be good".
"Bye Ron". Harry and Hermione said in unison and they hung up the phones. Harry and Hermione walked up to Harry's room to write to Moony to tell him the answer.
Dear Moony
I'm great! And I'm joining the order! So are Ron and Hermione. And to answer your question... I did make a move, the right one and now Hermione is my girlfriend. Shut up. I know you're laughing now. Also, I would like for Katrina to join the order too. Yes I know about Katrina and she wants to go to Hogwarts this year too. Please ask Dumbledore if she can. I'll explain everything when I see you!
Prongs Jr.
Harry had received the nickname Prongs Jr. over the holidays when Remus wrote to him.
Harry called Hedwig over and tied the letter to her leg.
"Here, it's for Moony okay. Please hurry". Hedwig hooted and flew out threw the window.
"This calls for a celebration". Hermione said. She walked over to Harry and pulled him into her and she kissed him. As the kiss deepened Hermione fell onto Harry's bed. Harry pulled away.
"Hermione, should we really be doing this? I mean what if your parents hear?"
"We're only snogging". Hermione said. Harry smiled and leaned into her again.
The next morning Harry woke up to Hermione shaking him. He sat up and realized that he was still fully clothed from the previous night.
"Harry, Hedwig is back already. She has a letter from Moony". Harry bolted up and rushed over to Hedwig. He untied the letter from her leg, sat down and pulled Hermione onto his lap and began to read the letter.
Prongs Jr.
You sly old dog you. I can't believe you didn't tell me about you and Hermione! I am so insulted that I'm not going to do anything. So... you know about Katrina huh, well... okay I'm assuming that John told you everything so I guess I don't have to. The answer is yes and yes. Katrina can join the order and she can come to Hogwarts. It would be wrong of us to keep you two apart after you know each other. I hope Katrina is doing well. I haven't seen her since she was a baby. The order would like you, Hermione, Ron and Katrina at Headquarters tomorrow. The new address is:
454 Willobey Way
Dumbledore wrote that so you four can floo here. Bring all your school things so you can stay here for the rest of the summer. By the way, happy birthday. We will celebrate it when you get here. There is no reason to write back unless you can't make it. I shall see you tomorrow.
Moony
Harry looked at Hermione and smiled. They would be leaving the next day!
"Hermione, we are leaving tomorrow! I can't wait! I better call Ron and Katrina to tell them to pack, we have to pack! Oh lord we have to hurry!" Harry jumped off his bed and ran into Hermione's room to use her phone. After he had made his calls he and Hermione started to pack.
"Harry!" Hermione said, running into his room. "I have to go shopping. I need a new dress in case we have a dance this year".
"Hermione, you just got a new dress. Why can't you wear that one?"
"Because that one is for singing, I need one for a dance". Harry rolled his eyes.
"Fine, we'll go shopping. But I won't like it". Hermione laughed and kissed him on the cheek.
"Thank you Harry. I love you".
"I'm sure you do. And I love you too". Harry said with a smile. Hermione grabbed Harry's hand and pulled him to the mall.
Hermione looked through all the racks of dresses and found dozens that she liked. After about three hours Harry heard her exclaim:
"Oh my gosh, this is the one".
"Can I see it?" Harry asked her. Hermione said no.
"Sorry, you will have to wait until there is a dance and then you can see it". She brought it over to the cashier and paid for it. As they walked out of the store Hermione asked Harry what he wanted for his birthday.
"I haven't gotten you anything and I want to give you something at your party once we get to the order". Harry shook his head.
"Don't. You already gave me everything I've ever wanted".
"And what would that be?" Hermione asked.
"You," said Harry. "You". Hermione blushed and felt a tear fall down her face.
"I love you Harry". She said. "I love you so much".
"I love you too Hermione". Harry replied.
Harry and Hermione walked back to Hermione's house to finish packing. After they were finished Harry took Hermione out for dinner.
When they got back from the restaurant Harry and Hermione went into the living room and explained everything to her parents. They said that they were leaving the next day and that they would be gone for the rest of the summer. Hermione's parents said okay and handed Hermione some money for her schoolbooks. Harry and Hermione went to bed and waited expectantly for the next day.
Harry and Hermione woke up the next day at around five thirty. Harry rolled out of bed and walked over to Hermione's room.
"'Morning Babe". Harry said with a grin. Hermione rolled over and crawled onto Harry's lap.
"'Morning hun". She replied. Hermione leaned up and kissed him.
"Hermione, I'm going for a run okay. I'll be back in an hour or two". Hermione nodded and climbed off of his lap. Harry went back into his room and quickly got dressed.
Harry was running down the street and ran right into Katrina.
"Hey Harry. I didn't know you ran".
"Well now you do. I just haven't run recently. But I did when I lived with the Dursleys".
"Well I'll join you". Katrina turned around and ran with Harry. Over the next hour Harry and Katrina ran and had a few races, which Harry always won. They ran past a park and they went in. Harry went over and sat on a swing, closely followed by Katrina. The two of them sat there for a few minutes before they saw a few men over by the trees in long black cloaks. When they looked at them Harry and Katrina both grabbed their foreheads with pain. The men didn't notice Harry and Katrina but the two of them thought that it would be a good idea to get as far away from them as possible.
Harry ran back inside the Granger estate and up into Hermione's room where she had fallen back asleep. He shook her awake and told her about the men. She looked worried but didn't say anything. The two of them each got a shower and got dressed. They went down to the kitchen and ate. They were both silent until Harry looked over at her.
"Hermione, what's wrong? I can see it in your eyes. Something's wrong". Hermione looked at Harry and her eyes watered.
"Harry. A few nights ago I had a dream. It showed a bunch of men in long black cloaks and them- they-". Hermione broke off and began to cry. Harry rushed over to her side and picked her up.
"It's okay Hermione. They're all gone. They didn't see me and they didn't see Katrina and they couldn't have seen you". Hermione wiped the tears away.
"But they did see me. They have been here for a few weeks now. I keep seeing them and they followed me. One day they followed me and they wouldn't leave me alone. They kept asking me where you were. I said I didn't know but they wouldn't leave me alone". Hermione pulled up the sleeve of the t-shirt that she was wearing. There was a purpling bruise. "I covered that up with makeup so you wouldn't see it. I didn't want you to know. I also have this one". She pulled up the side of her shirt to show a bruise on her side that looked like a handprint. "That happened last night. It happens in my dreams but when I wake up the marks are still there. I don't know what is happening". Hermione burst into tears again. Harry wiped away her tears and saw the pain in her eyes.
"Hermione, I promise that I will never let them near you again. I will always be there and keep you safe. I just wish that you had of told me this earlier so I could have saved you from the pain".
"Thank you Harry. I love you so much". Hermione said, leaning into her boyfriend's chest. Harry held her close.
"I love you too Hermione. I love you too".
The two of them sat there for quite some time, until Harry realized that it was time for them to get ready to go over to the Order. Harry ran upstairs and grabbed his and Hermione's trunks. At about three-thirty Katrina called them to come over to her house. They grabbed their trunks and carried them to her house to find Ron already there. They pushed all their trunks into the fire and flooed them to the house. After they had all arrived Remus came running into the room.
"Harry, Hermione! Tell Mad Eye that you are going out". Remus shouted as Mad Eye followed him into the room.
"Harry, I don't want to tell them, let's show them". Harry grinned and leaned in and kissed Hermione.
"INDECENT EXPOSURE!" Ron shouted, covering his eyes. Remus smiled.
"There, Mad Eye, you owe me thirty Galleons". Moody pulled out his moneybag and handed him the money.
"Hey!" Harry said looking at Remus. "You made a bet on us and you didn't even tell me. It was one bet that I know I could win". Remus laughed and Hermione elbowed him in the stomach.
"HEY!"
"I was just joking. Now let's go unpack". Remus showed them upstairs and into the rooms.
"Okay you each have your own rooms. Please respect that room. Harry, don't do anything your dad wouldn't do". Remus leaned into Harry and whispered into his ear. "Permission from an adult to do anything you want". He winked and left. Harry laughed and put his trunk into his room then helped Hermione unpack.
"So, what did Moony tell you when he was whispering in your ear"? Harry laughed again and explained to her what he said. Hermione laughed. "Do you want to take him up on that?" Hermione asked. Harry grinned and dragged her into his room.
"It has a lock". He explained. He shut the door, locked it and went over and kissed Hermione. The kiss deepened and Harry pushed her onto the bed. Harry tickled her lips with his tongue asking for entrance she allowed it and she slipped hers into his mouth. Just then there was a knock on his door. Harry sighed and got up to answer it.
"The walls are not soundproof Harry". Ron said as Harry opened his door. "Please be considerate of those who are next to you". Harry grinned.
"I'll remember that. Now if you'll excuse me I'm in the middle of something that I would like to get back to". Ron shuddered.
"Too much information Harry, I would rather not know about what you do in your bedroom. And I don't think Moony wants to either. I heard him talking downstairs. The kitchen is right under you". Harry grinned again and closed the door in Ron's face. He walked back over to Hermione.
"Now where was I?" He asked. Hermione smiled and pulled Harry on top of her. The two of them stayed like that, only stopping for air. About a half an hour later there was another knock on his door. "What now?" Harry said. He walked over to the door and pulled it open. "Hey Moony".
"Hi Prongs Jr. Umm not that I don't enjoy you having a girlfriend, I even made some money off of it. But, I really don't need to hear it. It is actually quite gross when you are trying to eat. So if you don't mind not being attached by the lips for five seconds it is dinner time". Harry grinned.
"We'll be right down". Remus nodded and left. Harry went over to Hermione and grabbed her by the hips. "Come on. It's dinner time". Hermione nodded and went down to kitchen. They walked in, snogging of course and walked right into Tonks.
"Okay, I'm glad you two finally put yourselves out of your misery but please, I'm trying to eat". She said. Harry glared at her and sat down with Hermione not even two inches away. Tonks looked at them with her eyebrows raised.
"Disgusting isn't it?" Ron said and Katrina slapped him.
"Shut up. I think it's sweet. It reminds me of Chris and me... until we broke up, the ass". Remus smiled.
"It reminds me of James and Lily. They couldn't keep their eyes off of each other. Yes it got disgusting, especially when I had to share a room with him shudders thankfully they kept the hangings closed. But then again I only had to put up with it for one year, you have to put up with it for two Ron, I suggest you get ear plugs". He, Katrina and Tonks laughed but Ron looked disgusted.
"I you do that I will kill you okay Harry... Harry... HARRY!" Harry looked up and smiled.
"Oh sorry, I didn't hear you what was the question". Remus laughed.
"Just like Lily and James". He said shaking his head. Tonks laughed again.
"For god sakes Harry, if you can take your eyes off the girlfriend for five seconds we can explain what's going to go on with the Order". Tonks said.
"Kay, just one second". Harry leaned in and kissed Hermione one last time and turned his attention to Tonks. "What?" Tonks laughed.
"Okay, well tomorrow night is your initiation into the Order, but your party is before that. I want to know what you two want now so I can make it for tomorrow".
"CHINESE". Harry and Katrina said at once. Tonks laughed.
"Are you sure? I mean if you don't want it I don't have to get it".
"We're sure". They replied together. Remus laughed.
"You know, Lily loved Chinese. It was her favorite food. I don't think she ever went a week without having Chinese once she and James were married. He kept complaining that he was getting tired of it. Finally he just came over here when Lily was ordering Chinese. I always made sure that we ordered Chinese when James came over. It was hilarious".
"We?" Harry said. "Who are we?" Remus looked uncomfortable.
"Well- I-". He began.
"You don't have to tell us if you don't want to". Harry said quickly.
"It's okay; you have a right to know. We are Chantelle and I. Chantelle was my wife. She was the only person that I ever loved. We got married as soon as she graduated from Hogwarts; she was a year younger than us. We were married for about two years. She was even pregnant with my first child, when Voldemort attacked. Chantelle was visiting with Lily and James when he attacked. I was on my way, but I was too late. I got there just as the ministry did. I saw the dark mark over the house and I was devastated. I ran in to find her, Lily and James laying there with you two alive. I was offered to take care of you Katrina but I was too devastated over my loss. I just couldn't take it. I wanted to, I really did but I would never have been able to be a good guardian with her death over my shoulders". Remus quickly wiped away a tear that was starting to form in his eye. Harry put his arm around Hermione, who was crying and Katrina was about to cry but she held back her tears but every so often she had to wipe away a tear. Harry looked at Remus. He let go of Hermione and went over and hugged Remus.
"I'm sorry, I never knew". Remus looked at him and smiled.
"It's okay, I never told you and I knew that nobody else would". Harry let go and he went back over to Hermione, pulled her onto his lap and kissed her cheek. She smiled and looked back at Remus.
"Go on".
"There isn't much more to tell. I went into depression for a while, became an alcoholic and I only pulled myself out of the gutter in your second year. That's when I started looking for a job. I got one at the school and, well you know the rest".
"That's terrible". Harry said. "I can't believe that happened". Remus smiled.
"It's okay. I'm all better now". He said with a laugh. "Besides, I got myself a new girlfriend". Harry looked shocked.
"Who?" He demanded. "I wanna know who". Remus smiled.
"Tonks of course". Ron and Harry looked at each other and smiled.
"Since when?" They asked at the same time.
"Beginning of the summer". Harry looked at Ron and held out his hand.
"I think you owe me quite a few galleons Mr. Weasley. I believe that I said the beginning of summer". Ron groaned and handed Harry a pile of money. Harry grinned and pocketed it. "It's lucky you got a job in Ottery St. Catchpole. You wouldn't have been able to pay if you didn't". Remus looked shocked.
"Wait a second, you got mad at me for making a bet on you and Hermione but now here's you and Ron making a bet on Tonks and I?" Hermione looked up.
"Me too, and Harry I think you owe me half of that". Harry nodded and pulled a few coins out of his pocket. Harry looked at Remus and laughed.
"Guilty, but I loved the look on your face. It was priceless". Tonks laughed.
"Well, I guess it was pretty funny, but I didn't know there was a bet on Harry and Hermione. If I had of I would have placed in my bet. You never tell me anything". Remus smiled.
"Okay, next time we place a bet on people; you'll be the first to know". Tonks smiled.
"That's more like it". She said.
It was a few hours later and everyone had finished his or her dinner. They talked about Quidditch and about each other. It was a blast. Harry looked over at Hermione and grinned. She got the message loud and clear. She got up and walked into her room closely followed by Harry. Ron looked at the others with a grossed out look on his face.
"They have been going out for less than two weeks! They are going too far". Remus laughed.
"Don't worry, I trust Harry to not do anything that Hermione doesn't want to do also". Ron shuddered.
"That's what I was afraid of".
Harry and Hermione were back in Harry's room. Remus knew this right away when he heard a bang.
"When will those two learn to put a silencing charm on their room? I swear. Once they go out for a few months I will hate to hear them. They will be louder and there will be screams. Believe me; I would not want to be beside Harry's room". Ron looked over at him.
"Thanks a lot. You put me beside his room".
"Well I'm on the other side and the bed is closer to my side so shut up". Tonks said. "On second thought, I think I'll sleep on the couch for the rest of the summer".
Just then there was another bang. Remus looked up and sighed.
"I am going to put a stop to this". He said with a huff. He walked up the stairs and banged on Harry's door.
"Yes?" Harry said when he opened the door.
"Don't you two think you are going a little too far? I mean you have only been going out for a little more than a week". Harry looked at him.
"Okay, try being around your girlfriends parents, caught once by them and scared that they will catch you again. Now you are in a house far away from her parents with a room that locks. Would YOU care that you have only been going out a week. It's not like we're doing anything other than snogging so leave us alone". Remus rolled his eyes.
"Then put a silencing charm on your room".
"We can't do magic outside of Hogwarts. You know that".
"Well didn't you know that the four of you have permission to do magic now that you are in danger"? Harry shook his head. "Well you do, so put some freaking silencing charms up. You are driving us crazy". Harry rolled his eyes, closed the door and started to put up silencing charms.
That night Hermione and Harry brought all of Hermione's stuff into Harry's room. They decided to share a room. They explained this to the others and they really didn't care, just as long as there were silencing charms up.
Hermione was scared about the men in black cloaks coming back. She explained this to Harry and he hugged her.
"It'll be okay my 'Mione. It'll be okay. If those men come back I will be right there beside you and I'll die before I'd let them touch you again". Hermione smiled.
"Thank you Harry, good night, I love you".
"Good night, I love you too". They fell asleep in each other's arms.
The next morning they woke up at the crack of dawn. Harry went downstairs and into the kitchen to find Remus sitting there.
"Why are you up so early Moony?" Harry asked. Remus looked up and smiled.
"Oh, I like to wake up early, why are you up early?"
"I like to run in the morning. I'm surprised Kay Kay isn't up. She likes to run too". Just then Katrina walked in.
"I'm up". She said happily. Remus looked surprised.
"I'm sorry, I can't let you two run. You might get caught. You are welcome to use the exercise room though. It has just about every training thing money can buy. Sirius bought them for me before he died". Harry smiled.
"Okay, where is it?" Remus stood up and led Harry and Katrina into the exercise room.
"WOW!" Harry and Katrina said in unison as they looked around. They each went over to a different place and began to work out. After a while Harry began to get hot and he took of his shirt. He put it over on a bench and went back to the station that he was at. After about an hour Hermione came in to look for Harry. She stood at the door and watched him lift weights. Finally when he put them down and sat up he noticed Hermione.
"Hey babe". He said when he saw her. He wiped sweat from his forehead, walked over and kissed her cheek. She giggled and pushed him away.
"Ew, Harry, get a shower before you kiss me again okay". Harry laughed and went upstairs into the bathroom to get a shower. Once he was clean and dressed he walked back down to the exercise room to look for Hermione. He found her talking to Katrina on the bench. He sat behind her and wrapped her in a hug.
"Go get dressed hun and then I want to get something to eat okay". Hermione nodded and walked up to her room. About half an hour later she came back down. "Hey, that's my favorite sweater". Harry said looking at Hermione. She was wearing his red sweater with a dragon on it. It was way too long for her. It fell almost to her knees and the arms fell about five inches past her hands.
"I like it though. It smells like you".
"What do you mean it smells like me?"
"Well, it smells like your old spice deodorant and your cologne. I like it". Harry laughed and wrapped his arms around her.
"Okay, as long as you don't think I smell bad". Hermione smiled.
"Never". Harry slid his hand around Hermione's hips and they walked up into the kitchen.
As they walked in they noticed that Tonks and Remus were in there 'making breakfast'. Or as Harry would say they were making breakfast like he and Hermione would.
"Excuse me, is breakfast ready yet?" Harry said loudly. Tonks and Remus turned around and looked at Harry and Hermione.
"Ummmm, yeah, hold on a sec". Remus grabbed two plates of pancakes and placed them in front of Harry and Hermione. "And please be considerate of those who are trying to eat today". Harry grinned.
"Only if you two do".
"Deal". Tonks and Remus sat across from Harry and Hermione and the four of them ate in silence. After breakfast was over Hermione told Harry that she wanted some time alone in her old room for a few moments. Harry said okay and he went to his room to wrap Katrina's birthday present. He had gotten her the Snowfire the other day when they were at Diagon ally. Nobody had noticed him buy it though.
That night at around five thirty, Remus called everyone for dinner. Harry and Hermione walked in, hand in hand and saw the whole order there and everybody in the Weasley family. Harry and Hermione walked over and Harry sat beside Ginny and Hermione sat beside Harry and Ron. Ginny smiled at Harry and said happy birthday. He could tell that something was bothering her but he decided to wait until later to ask. Tonks and Remus brought the Chinese food in. They all ate and talked happily. About an hour later when everybody had finished eating Molly Weasley brought in the cake. It was huge. It was a chocolate cake that said Happy Birthday Harry and Katrina in big red letters.
"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday Harry and Katrina, Happy birthday to you". Everyone sang. The cake was placed in between Harry and Katrina (who were sitting across from each other) they blew out the 32 candles that were placed on the cake and everybody cheered. After the cake was eaten piles of gifts were placed in front of Harry and Katrina. Katrina received: a Quidditch book set, random candy, new cloths, Quidditch robes, a dragon necklace, and various makeup from many people. Harry received: New Quidditch robes, various sweets, a new and revised copy of "Quidditch through the Ages" a matching dragon necklace to Katrina's, new dress robes and new regular cloths. Hermione walked up to Harry and handed him her gift. Harry smiled at her and opened it to show an ID bracelet. It had a snitch on either side of his name and on the back was inscribed "To Harry, I'll always love you. This will bring you help whenever needed. Yours forever, Hermione". Harry smiled and hugged his girlfriend.
"Thank you honey, I love it". He whispered in her ear, and then said louder "Okay, now for my gift to Katrina". He handed Katrina the long package and she handed him an identical one, wrapped in the same paper and everything. They both laughed and then opened them. Harry and Katrina both pulled out the brooms at the same time.
"WOW". They said. Everyone laughed. Harry and Katrina put their gifts away and Harry put on his bracelet and necklace and Katrina put on hers. They all gathered into the living room for the initiation ceremony. Remus stood in front of the four of them and began to recite.
"Do you pledge your allegiance to the Order and all its members?"
"We do". They answered.
"Do you promise to place all innocent lives before your own?"
"We do".
"Do you promise to fight Lord Voldemort with all your strength?"
"We do".
"And do you promise never to let the Order known to any unwanted people?"
"We do". Remus smiled and handed the four of them a ring with matching phoenixes' on them.
"These are the rings of the Order of the Phoenix. They are given to all members and can only be seen by members. That is how you can check friend from foe. You are now official members". The whole room clapped as Harry, Hermione, Katrina and Ron slipped the rings on their fingers. Harry grinned from ear to ear. He was finally a member and he could finally fight Voldemort and get his revenge.
Later that night Harry found Ginny sitting alone on the stairs.
"Hey Gin, what's wrong?" Harry asked. Ginny looked up at him.
"Oh Harry, I don't know what to do!" She cried.
"It's okay Ginny, maybe I can help you". She looked up and smiled at him.
"Maybe... Well, I'm sorry Harry; I know you are probably going to hate me now".
"Ginny, I could never hate you".
"Well, I don't know how to tell my parents about my boyfriend. I mean, he's charming and nice and I love him so much, I know he loves me too but I just can't tell them because I know they won't approve".
"Who is it?"
"Draco Malfoy". Harry looked shocked.
"Ginny, you know that he works for Voldemort right?"
"No, he doesn't. He doesn't want to work for him. He ran away from home so his father couldn't force him to join. Harry, Lucius killed Draco's mother because she didn't want to join him. The only reason Draco was rude and mean to you is because of those prats Crabbe and Goyle. They are in the league with Voldemort and threatened to KILL him if he wasn't rude and mean". Harry was shocked. He couldn't believe what Ginny was telling him, Draco, nice? Was this possible? "Harry, Crabbe and Goyle are dead. That is why Draco is free to do what he wants, until Voldemort catches him. The only thing that Draco wants to do is kill his father for what he did to his mother. Please Harry, you have to believe me. I even slipped him some truth potion, the strong stuff, I can't pronounce the name of it, and it starts with a V. He was telling the truth. He even said that he was sorry for calling Hermione a mudblood all of those times! Please Harry, you have to trust him!" Harry looked at her. She was in tears. With one look in her eyes Harry knew she was telling the truth.
"Don't you worry Ginny, I believe you. I might not be able to trust Malfoy right away but with time I... might". Ginny smiled.
"Oh Harry, I knew I could trust you". She leaned in and hugged him. "You're like the big brother I could trust with my life, I mean Ron would just run away scared". Harry laughed.
"Yeah, the horny slut". Harry laughed even harder and Ginny laughed too.
"You know who Ron likes, right?" Harry shrugged.
"Well, if he likes the girls that he molested, the only two I know of are Lavender and Katrina". Ginny looked at him blankly.
"Molested?" Harry laughed.
"It's a long story". Harry stood up and said goodnight to Ginny. "I'm sorry, but I must leave. I have a girl in my room that is waiting for me to go to bed so I must depart". Ginny laughed.
"Now who's the horny slut?" She asked cheekily. Harry stuck out his tongue at her and left. He worked his way up to his room and pulled Hermione onto his lap as soon as he sat down. He explained everything to her that Ginny had told him and she took it quite well. After they had finished talking Harry and Hermione snogged for a while and then they went to sleep.
