Chapter 6: In The Air Again

" Your mother, Harry, was a Death Eater."

Harry stood still, eyes transfixed on a spot just above Lupin's right shoulder. He didn't feel like talking to him right now. He wanted to talk to Sirius.
But Sirius isn't here.
"Harry? Are you okay?" Harry heard Lupin's voice, which sounded like it was a million miles away.
"How would you feel", Harry looked at Lupin strait in the eyes, "if you just heard your mother was one of the worst things a person could be in the world?" Tears stung Harry's eyes, but he refused to let them out.
"Look Harry, I know how it feels-"
"No you don't! She wasn't your mother!"
"But she was my friend!" Lupin, for the first time in his life yelled at Harry.
Harry stared at Lupin long and hard. He then mumbled something that sounded like,"I don't want to talk anymore", got up and walked out the door, leaving Lupin to think about what he had just done.

When he walked out the door, he saw Ronald Weasley, his sister Ginny, his brothers, who were identical to the last freckle, Fred and George, and Hermione Granger sitting on the couch, all who were out of breath and so silent you could hear a pin drop.
"How much did you guys here?" Harry asked while walking towards a chair on the opposite side of the living room.
"Enough to know, Harry. Enough to know..." Hermione trailed off in a whisper.
Harry sat down on the chair and buried his face in his hands. He heard Hermione ask everyone if her and Ron could have a moment alone with him. Nobody argued with her and all the Weasley's, except for Ron left, leaving the three friends alone in the big living room.
"Harry? Mate, if you don't want to talk, we can go," Ron said cautiously, not knowing how fragile Harry was.
Harry just shook his head no and took his head out of his hands. He looked at Hermione with tear-stained eyes and let out a hardly audible sob.
"It's not fair..." Harry mumbled, his voice filled with sadness. The image of his mother on the ground, begging Voldemort to keep her alive, her small figure, twitching and yelling on the ground made Harry want to vomit.
Hermione went up to him and put her arm around him. She had tears in her eyes too. "Harry, I'm not going to say how sorry I am for you or that I know how it feels. Because I don't know how it feels. And I know you already know that a lot of people are sorry for you. And...And..." Hermione's voice cracked and she buried her face in Harry's shoulder, and started crying along with Harry.
Ron felt kind of awkward so he walked over and sat down next to Harry.
"Ummmm...I'll do what Hermione said," He looked thoughtful for a moment," Wait. What did she say again?"
Harry let out a small chuckle and grabbed Ron into the big bear hug. No matter how bad things are going, Ron always made Harry laugh.
At that moment, Lupin opened the door to the room he and Harry was in and walked over to the staircase.
Without looking at Harry, he said," We have to talk later Harry," and he walked up the stairs, probably to talk to Dumbledore. Harry started to get mad.
I don't want to talk to him. I don't ever want to talk to him. Not ever...
Hermione noticed the tension starting to steam up so she said brightly,"Hey! Ummmm...Why don't we go outside! It's such a beautiful day to be stuck in a house like this!"
Harry looked doubtful, but Ron looked psyched to get outside and practice on his broomstick.
"Yeah! Come on Harry! I little wind in your hair wouldn't hurt! Please?" Ron pleaded.
Harry was eager to say yes to anything that would take his mind off of everything he was thinking of. But there was only one flaw.
"I don't have my Firebolt. It's with my trunk. And my trunk is in the middle of nowhere." Harry looked at Ron with a reproachful look. Ron thought for a moment.
"Maybe Fred or George will let you use one of they're Nimbus 2001's." Ron paused at the amazed look on Harry's face.
"Yeah, ever since mum found out about you giving your Triwizard's money to Fred and George, and about them giving up school, and about they're Joke shop, they stopped being afraid of buying too many things for themselves. So they got a lot of things for themselves and us. They got me a Nimbus 2001. And they got Hermione one too!" Ron looked at Hermione, who was beaming at Harry.
"I'm so happy. I finally got to fly!"
"And she's pretty good too. Though on her first day flying, she fell pretty bad."
Hermione threw a small pillow at Ron and said, laughing,"Shut up Ron!"
Harry couldn't help but laugh along with them. He was finally with his friends, about to go outside and ride a broom again, but he still didn't feel satisfied for some weird reason. But he wasn't going to let that bring him down. He asked Ron if he could get the broomstick for him and Ron raced upstairs.
No later than 2 minutes, Ron was downstairs with all of they're broomsticks. He gave all of them out and they all walked out of the backdoor into the bright, sunlit backyard.
Harry had to shield his eyes when he looked around. Everything was normal. Like a normal backyard. But Harry noticed that it had some sort of a bluish/greenish light around about a mile around it. He asked Ron and Hermione about this.
"Oh...Lupin said it's supposed to be like a shield or a cover or something like that so that the muggles can't see it. Mad-Eye did it when Fred and George wanted to fly...Well? What are we waiting for? Come on!" Ron got on his broom as soon as he finished talking and soared into the air.
"Well, here goes nothing!" Hermione kicked off from the ground and soared into the air, her now not-so-bushy hair, flying everywhere.
Harry mounted his broom, and started getting comfortable. He then kicked his feet, and he sprang of the ground, and into the air. He soared around the amount of space they had over and over again, loving the feeling of the wind in his hair, and the warm feeling of summer air.
But all too soon, or so Harry thought, it had to end. When Ron called his name, he was surprised it was sun fall. He was so into the flying, he didn't notice how dark it had gotten. He touched back on the ground and walked over to a pink faced, now bushy haired Hermione, and a flushed Ron.
"What time is it?" Harry asked them.
"It's 2:35 p.m, Harry. You've been flying for about 3 hours," Hermione answered, while looking at her watch.
"Wow! Have I been flying for that long? You guys too?" Harry exclaimed, with the biggest smile ever.
Hermione and Ron exchanged awkward glances and they both mumbled,"No", with identical "innocent" faces.
"What were you guys doing then?"
Ron started choking on his saliva and Hermione was strangely interested in her hair.
"What? What aren't you guys telling me?" Harry wanted to know, but he didn't because Mrs. Wealsey called them in for lunch.
"Oh! Well...we have to go eat...C'mon Harry...Let's ummm...Let's go..." Ron said when he recovered, and with a quick glance at Hermione, he led Harry into the kitchen.
Once Harry, Ron and Hermione stepped into the dark kitchen, there was a ruffle of someone walking around the room. Hermione smiled at Ron and walked over to the light switch.
When she turned it on, Harry had the surprise of his life.
