Only A Little Further
Chapter 2
"Harry! How could you?" Ron said suddenly from behind them. Harry turned and saw Ron Weasley, His best friend. As usual, Ron had grown taller…His hair as red as ever and dressed in Muggle clothing.
"Hey Ron! How could I what?" Harry asked.
"How could you ask if we will always be there for you? You know we will! Always and forever. Don't worry, we'll help you! No matter what! And as for you having "no good family left behind," you have no blood family left behind besides the … umm … Dursleys. But you have us! Mom, Dad, Bill, Charlie, Fred, George, Ginny, Hermione, I and I suppose Fleur too… Anyways, what I mean is you're like my brother so don't you go saying you have no good family left behind! Got it?" Ron said loyally. "I'll even make the Unbreakable Vow if you want me too!" He added.
Harry smiled. "No, no. I know you will. But, it doesn't hurt to just make sure or something… I just … want to know that there's still "the power the Dark Lord knows not" happening." He laughed at the end.
"Oh, alright. I just thought you'd gone mad our something actually asking us that… And you will always have "the power the dark lord knows not" Its not going to vanish or anything. Anyways, come on. Let's go to your room. We got you a permanent room in the new and improved Burrow." Ron grinned and led Harry to his room.
"Ron… you didn't need to get me a room you know…" Harry began. "Nonsense! We got Hermione one too. This is it. He stopped at a large white door with the name Harry Potter on it. Go ahead. Open the door." Ron said excitedly.
Harry pulled open the door. It was AMAZING. No literally, amazing! The walls were scarlet with gold bordering. His bed was a four-poster bed just like at his dorm at Hogwarts. The curtains and the bed spread were gold. There was a snitch zooming around and there was a small glass table with a red sofa with broomstick shaped pillows. The carpeting was red and the furniture was mahogany. There was even a stand for his Firebolt. But what Harry liked best was the wall with double the bordering. It was called "Family and Friends". There he saw magical portraits of Ron , Hermione, All the Weasleys including Fleur, Professors McGonnagoll, Slughorn, Sprout, Flitwick, Hagrid, Tonks, Kingsley Shacklebolt, Luna Lovegood, Neville Longbottom and his grandmother, Mad-Eye Moody and Remus Lupin, Sirius Black, Albus Dumbledore and…James and Lily Potter.
"You – Where – How?" Harry said not making any sense at all. But Ron and Hermione understood him. "We enlarged a picture Remus had."
"Thanks for the portraits but… the room… you didn't have to! But thanks, this means a lot to me." Harry thanked them.
"Don't thank us, Harry, It was all Ginny." Ron said and at that very moment Ginny came through the doorway.
"Hey Harry!" She hugged him. "Do you like your room?" She smirked. "Ginny!" He hugged her back "I love it! But, honestly, you didn't need to…" "Pssh…Of course I needed too…" Waving her hand.
"Harry…" Hermione whispered suddenly. The first things she had spoken since Harry asked her to promise him she would be there. "Yeah Hermione?" "That…prophecy…who…predicted…who…was…the…seer?" Harry sighed. "Trenewally…" (sp?) "I thought it was her… the prophecy had her initials…So she's not a fraud…" Hermione said. "Umm…Hermione? Why does it matter?" Harry and Ron asked at the same time… "Because, I heard your mom and dad talking, they said she's disappeared. I think Voldemort kidnapped her because she was the seer and might try to find the prophecy. It didn't say how to well hurt or defeat you or anything he needs did it?"
"No it didn't…But it wont matter because Trenewally wont remember it, will she? Because after she made the prediction in our 3 year she couldn't remember it." Harry answered but he started to wonder if Voldemort got the prophecy would it help him."
"Oh alright then. Lets go down and meet everyone else…" Hermione said more cheerful than before. "Yeah, let's go Harry." Ron said snapping Harry out of his trance. "C'mon!" Ginny said practically dragging Harry out of his new bedroom. Ron and Hermione followed.
"Harry! How wonderful to see you again! I take it you've seen your new room?" Mrs. Weasley asked, her facing shining with happiness. "Hi Mrs. Weasley. Its wonderful to see you too and yes, I have seen my new room! Thanks." He replied. "Oh Harry! We have so much space in our new home that Ron, Fred and George charmed, It would be rude and cruel not to give you and Hermione one! Besides, your like my son, you have no where else to go and you will stay here until you go on that little…hunt Ron, Hermione and Ginny told me about. " Mrs. Wealsey said pulling Harry into a hug.
"Thanks." Was all he could say. Mrs. Weasley beamed. "Anyways, enough of this depressing talk" Mrs. Weasley said. "We should be happy Harry's here seeing as he will be leaving. It is weird but I do approve of what you, Ron and Hermione are going to do. It's what Dumbledore would have wanted" Mrs. Weasley finished choking on 'Dumbledore'. "Lets go tell the others you're here" (Harry had taken the knight bus to The Burrow – Poor him!)
"Ginny – I'm sorry about what I said at –" Harry gulped, "Dumbledore's funeral. I've realized that I should hold those near and dear to me close and not push them away, I just don't want to hurt you Ginny."
Harry and Ginny were talking in Ginny room. Harry had just met Fred, George, Tonks, Bill, Fleur, Dobby, Winky and Chesnut. Everybody else was at work. Then the were climbing up the stairs to Ron's room and Hermione muttered something about giving Harry and Ginny some 'alone time' and rushed off to Ron's room telling Harry and Ginny to go to Ginny's.
"Harry, I know, it's ok! So you are still going to be 'involved' with me as you say, right? Even if it is for a while before you go … you know. You probably wont come back to Hogwarts even if it does reopen, there's a debate kind of thing about that next week, deciding if Hogwarts should open."
"No it's not ok! I hurt you, I'm sorry! I … shouldn't have said that…because that's what Voldemort wants me to do, doesn't he? Me to push everyone away and become all lonely and … never mind, you get my point don't you? So, I want to spend as much time with you, being alone is depressing." Harry added. "No, I wont come to Hogwarts even if it opens but I hope it does so that's why I am going to go to the debate thing next week."
"I knew you would say that Harry, but you don't have to apologize. Voldemort does want you to become all lonely so he can kill you, yes. So, don't. As for the Hogwarts thing … we're all going to the debate or at least Dad says so." With that, Harry and Ginny kissed.
"Thanks Ginny." Harry said when the broke apart. "For what?" Ginny asked puzzled. "For not saying I'm the biggest prat (besides Malfoy) ever."
"Har-ee!" Ginny said laughingly. "You know… I think Ron and Hermione fancy each other. Have you seen the looks on their faces every time their eyes meet? Summer before my fourth year, your fifth, they would always be talking in Ron's room and I honestly don't know what they were up to!
"You know… I think so too. After the Yule Ball I found Ron's miniature Krum figure arm under is pillow, he was definitely jealous. And last year, when Lavendar and Ron was going out, she was jealous. Plus, she confunded McLaggen at keeper try outs. They both definitely fancy each other but are to thick headed to realize...It confuses me how Hermione can be the smartest witch of our year and not realize…" They chuckled.
"Well, than its up to us." Ginny said with a mischevious look on her face.
"Up to us what?" this time Harry asked puzzled.
