A.N. I do not own the characters. I wish J.k Rowling, and Harry a happy birthday.
Chapter Seven
The book of Ravenclaw
The first thing Harry remembered was the pain. He was swimming just out of reach of consciousness. The memories came flooding back to him and he screamed
"NO!" he flew up and realized he was in ST.Mungos.
"Harry." Mrs. Weasley whispered.
"Mrs. Weasley?"
"Yes dear. It's okay. Where did you guys go?"
"I can't tell you."
"Why?"
"Because I promised Dumbledore."
"Honey, Dumbledore's dead."
"His word speaks through the grave. How long have I been out?"
"Five days."
"Am I injured?"
You're fine, except for your right hand. It's seems that its ten times more powerful then originally, but it looks," she trailed off.
Harry undid the dressing of his hand. It was all burnt and charred. Scars were everywhere. He curled his hand into a fist and felt power course through him.
He punched the wall and it almost shattered.
"Oops."
"Harry!" he heard someone say. He turned around to see a glimpse of Ginny before she flew into his arms.
"Hey mate." Ron said, clapping him on the back. Hermione hugged him as well. As soon as Mrs. Weasley left them alone he asked, "Did it work?"
"We think so. Mum is furious though."
"We got you something." Ginny cut in. She handed him a black glove. On the back of the hand was a silver outline of a phoenix.
"Thanks." He said and put it on over his damaged hand.
"It's built to withstand mass amounts of pressure." Hermione explained. I used a calteca that I got from a book I read."
"She's getting worse." Ginny whispered. "She's been saying words like that with normal sentences."
"I see. When can I return to the burrow?"
"Today, in fact. They just need to examine you before they discharge you."
"OK. Well, I'll see you guys soon then."
"Remember, your apparition test is on the eighth."
Once back at the burrow, Harry immediately checked the book. It was still lying in the middle of the floor in Ron's room. He opened it and observed that the dagger had penetrated the entire book.
He flipped through it and found it full of spells and their definitions. He took it to
Ron's room and went to bed.
On August eighth, Harry woke up bright and early. He came downstairs to find Mrs. Weasley cooking breakfast.
"Morning Dear." She said. "Arthur is bringing you to the test center in a few minutes."
Harry sat down and nibbled on some toast.
"Morning Molly." Mr. Weasley declared as he came into the kitchen.
"Morning Arthur."
"Ready to go, Harry?"
"Yep."
He stood up, made sure his glove was on, and followed Mr. Weasley to the fireplace. They both stepped into the hearth. Mr. Weasley took some floo powder.
"Ministry of Magic!" and they were gone, careening in fireplaces.
They took the elevator to the apparition test center on the sixth level. Harry found himself sitting in a white waiting room.
"Potter, Harry." A man called. He got up and followed him to a room so vast that he couldn't see the end.
"This room can simulate any climate ever imaginable." The side of the room turned dark and it rained.
"On the other side of the room is the great hall of Hogwarts. Go there."
Harry concentrated on the great hall and with a pop, he appeared in the simulated hall.
"Good." Said another man. He marked something on his clipboard.
"Now, we have a sister facility not to far away. Go there and come back." The man apparated and Harry followed.
The facility looked the same except for it was white, not grey.
"Now go back."
He did so and appeared in the test center.
"You pass." The man drowned. He followed him to the waiting room where he handed him a license.
He walked over to Mr. Weasley.
"I passed."
"That was quick."
"Yeah, I guess."
They apparated back to the burrow.
"So, did you pass?" Ginny asked when he walked into the kitchen. He showed her his license.
"Ooh, Harry!" she hugged him.
He found himself thinking of what to get Ginny, her birthday was on the eleventh. He decided to ask Ron.
"Ron."
"Yeah, mate?"
"I was wondering if you could give me some suggestions on what to give Ginny?" he asked.
"She's been really wanting something…"
"What?"
"You."
Next chapter we see some fluff between Harry/ Ginny. Please read and review.
