Nymphadora003: Thanks again for reviewing my story. I have went through my story and changed all the will nots, does nots, is nots, etc, etc. I have reread all the chapters to make sure I got all the spelling mistakes and changed things so they would not be so formal. I'm going to try to put in some things that might be about his parents. I know they will not be true to cannon but I want to add some things for Harry and Remus's conversation that will be in this chapter or the next one. I also tried to separate some of the conversations so the paragraphs aren't so bulked up. I was glad to get back to writing too. It has helped me somewhat to get back into the swing a things again.

I'm sorry that it has been so long since I have up dated my story. I have been working hard on some things to make this story where it does not sound like others out there. Just about all the good ideas are used with Harry and Ginny in them. After reading an on line interview with JK Rowling I have Harry close to cannon. She says that Harry will stop being so angry to get ready to fight old Voldemort. The on line interview is on if any one wants to read it. Ok I have run on and on; so on with the story. Thanks again for reading.

Chapter 11

Not a Perfect Night for Sleep

Once everyone had left Harry's room for the night he got all his nightclothes ready and went to take a shower. He was thankful that Molly had told Ginny and Ron that Sirius had left the money to them. Sirius was Arthur's cousin and some how Molly's cousin so that part was not a lie. The money was his and Harry had just passed it onto them. They deserved to have the money and Harry really didn't need all of it. Since his parents had made sure he was taken care of and that he had money to pay for school. He was still worried about what Ron and Ginny might think when they saw the money tomorrow; when they go to Diagon Alley to get their school supplies. Would they be mad if they find out the truth? He hoped not, with Ron being ashamed about being poor he just might not be ok with it. He hoped his friend wouldn't consider it charity when he found out the whole truth behind his family getting the money; maybe Molly would never tell them.

As Harry got out of the shower; he looked back over the time since he had left his aunts house. He was able to spend some time with Remus but he wanted to spend more time with him. He and Ginny were able to sit down, start talking, and get to know each other better.

"Yes, that was going good; as long as Ron doesn't freak out about it." Harry thought

 Hermione would be here tomorrow and he and Ginny would start planning on how to get them to admit that they like each other (other then just friends). Luna and Neville would be here on the 28th and be here for his birthday (mental note ask Mrs. Weasley to put Neville's name on the cake too, by what Dumbledore had said; his birthday was the same day as his; give or take a day). Harry made a mental note to get something nice for Neville for his birthday while they were shopping tomorrow. He figured he could get him something to do with plants; maybe a book, seeds, or an exotic plant. Hedwig was out hunting her dinner; so Harry left his window open just incase she came back during the night. Climbing into bed, he hoped he would have a nice and peaceful nights sleep.

Harry awoke with a start during the night; he heard a noise just out side his door. He grabbed his glasses off his nightstand then grabbed his wand. Slowly he made his way to the door and put his ear to the door and tried to see if he could hear anything in the hall. He was not sure what he heard before; that had woken him up but there wasn't any sound being made out in the hall now. Slowly he opened the door; just a crack to peek outside the door. He had to strain to see in the dark hall but by one of the doors down the hall (Ron's door), there was a shadowy figure sitting on the floor by the door.

"Ok Harry, think. How can you figure out who it is?"

"You know it can't be a deatheater, because there is no way they can get in this house."

"Ok, come on now work brain; just open the door just a bit more so you can get a better look at the person sitting on the floor."

 As he opened the door, it made a soft squeaking sound; Harry froze on the spot not sure, if the person heard it squeak.

"Don't be such a chicken it has to be one of the Weasley's or maybe one of the Order that might have spent the night but if that was the case; why are they sitting on the floor by that door." He thought

"OK Potter, they must not have heard the door squeak, because they are still there. Let's go find out who it is". He thought to himself.

Leaving his room and making his way down the hall; he slowly went towards the figure sitting on the floor. As he got closer, he could see that is was Ron that was sitting there.

"Ron, are you alright mate?"

"Ron, can you hear me?"

Slowly he sat down next to him and put his hand on his shoulder; slowly so he wouldn't scare him.

"Ron, mate are you all right?"

"Did you have another nightmare or was it Ginny that had the nightmare?"

Ron looked up at Harry, not sure what to say. Harry could tell he had been crying and was not sure how to go about asking him about it.

"How do guys handle things like this?" he thought

 His Uncle Vernon never cried and when Dudley did cry his mother was the one who always took care of it.

"Harry what are you doing out of bed?"

"Why are you here, you should be asleep. Go back to bed mate; everything will be alright."

"Ron the reason I'm here is because I heard a noise and came to make sure everything was ok. What do I see when I open the door, a person sitting in the hall not moving; so I came to see who it was. I find you here with your mind somewhere else. Are you ok Ron, because you don't look like you are? Please don't tell me that it's nothing and that everything is ok, because I can see that it isn't".

"I'm just tired right now and had to think. I just came from putting Ginny back to bed. For some reason she thought Kreacher was in her room and got all scared. Dumbledore took care of him you know; so he wouldn't wonder around the house. He gets his meals and all but Dumbledore didn't want him to find out anything else that might go on in the house until he dies. I just don't know if he was there or not. I will have to let mum know in the morning; so she can make sure it wasn't Kreacher in there. That house-elf freaks her out even in the daytime; so go on back to bed and don't worry too much about it."

"Alright Ron if you're sure that you and Ginny are ok. I hope that whatever Dumbledore did to make him stay in his place works. I sure don't want to see him; because I can't promise what will happen to him if see that bloody elf after all his lies last year. Come on Ron, get up and go get into your bed. You need to get your sleep too. We will take care of this in the morning."

Ron got up and went into his room and Harry started back to his room. For some reason he stopped and turned back around. He felt like someone or something was watching him. He turned back around and started for the stairs. When he got to the landing, Ginny was standing there not moving; her back turned to him. In a voice just above a whisper, he called out to her. She jumped a little and her hand flew to her mouth.

"Harry you just scared the life out of me. Why are you out of bed?"

"I heard a noise and got up to see what it was. I found Ron sitting on the floor outside of his room. He told me that you thought that Kreacher was in your room. I was on my way back to bed but I felt like someone or something was out here. So I came back to check it out and found you standing here. Why are you out of bed?"

"Harry, I know he was in there. I forgot to lock my door and I know mum said that Dumbledore fixed it where he would stay in his little room they made for him in the basement and not bother anyone but I know he was in my room. Ron thinks I'm losing my mind but I'm not. He was in there Harry, I know it and yes, I know I can lock my door but I'm scared to go back to sleep in there. I was standing here waiting for Ron to get into bed and go back to sleep. I knew once he was asleep I could go in there and sleep in the other bed but when he went in he locked the door. I guess I wasn't thinking about him locking his door. I was just trying to get the nerve to go back to my room when you scared me and I know I'm being a bit childish about being scared but I'm just too scared to go back in there."

"Ginny if you want me too; I'll go with you and check your room out. Make sure nothing is in there and then once I do that you can lock the door behind me and be safe again. That way you won't be scared that he could be there or get back in ok?"

"As long as it isn't any trouble; I would really like that. Mum is going to be so mad when Ron tells her about this. OK come on so we can get this done; that way you can go back to bed and get your beauty sleep".

Harry followed Ginny down to her room, checked everywhere that Kreacher could hide and found nothing.

 "Ok Gin, it's all clear and safe for you; so you can get back to sleep. Don't worry everything will be ok and in the morning we will let you mum know that Kreacher was in your room tonight. I believe you that he was here and I know Hermione will have my head but I'm going to talk to Remus and see if there is anything, we can do about him. I want him dead for what he did to Sirius. OK Gin, come and lock your door behind me so you can get some rest. I will see you in the morning".

"Thanks for checking everything for me Harry. I will see you in the morning. Oh and by the way, you want to have another talk tomorrow after we get back from Diagon Alley. I have a few Ideas for our little plan with my dear brother and Hermione (Wink, Wink). I hope that you have come up with something too."

"I have an idea or two playing around in my head. Yes, I think we can have a little private meeting tomorrow and talk about that and get to know each other more. I have thought of a couple of questions I would like to ask. Alright I'm going to bed, you get some sleep and I will see your beautiful face at breakfast."

With that said, Harry turned so fast and was out the door before Ginny could say anything to him. She shut the door with her mouth hanging open. She locked her door and got back into bed with a question on her mind of why he would say that.

"Did he say it because she made the joke about him needing his beauty sleep?" Her mind reeled with mixed emotions about him.

Yes, she had given up on the crush she had on him and was trying to move on with the knowledge that he would never see her as anything other then Ron's sister. She was just one of the Weasley's that considered him family.

"Why do I keep doing this?" she thought to her self

"I will be so glad when Hermione gets here tomorrow so I can talk to her about this before Harry and I talk about our ideas concerning Ron and her. God Ginny, just stop this train of thought and go to sleep, if you don't you will be up all night and be really cranky tomorrow; that will not be a good thing at all." She thought

 With all this running through her mind and a heavy heart, Ginny closed her eyes and slowly drifted off to sleep.

Harry lay in his bed wondering why he said that to Ginny. Yes, he though she was beautiful and he had always thought so but these days he wasn't sure in what way he saw her beauty. He knew it wasn't in a brotherly way and it had never been that way either. He had always thought that she was brave; he had thought so ever since Tom had taken over her mind and spirit in her first year and he had found her lying there on the floor of the chamber. Yes, she had always been in his thoughts as a girl unlike her brother Ron; who only saw her as his baby sister or whatever he thought he saw Hermione as (he knew that Ron did see Hermione as a girl and probably always had). Harry could say that he used to see Ginny in the same way as he did Hermione but lately that was changing. Yes, at first, he saw her as a very shy young girl with a hidden temper full of fire; just like her mother and he liked that about her.

That was one thing that he had noticed about her since last term. She was not afraid to fight for her friends and for what was right. Why had he told her he wanted to see her beautiful face at breakfast? Was he thinking about her as he did Cho Chang or just as a friend would see her. As his eye lids started to feel heavy and started to close his last thought was of his last dream where he had kissed Ginny Weasley (that was a very nice dream he thought with a smile on his face).

Dream

Stonewalls were on each side of him as he walked down a long hallway. The smell of mold and decay burnt his nostrils with each breath he took. At the end, he could see stairs that went down lower under the building that he was in, maybe into a dungeon. It was too quiet for his liking. He felt for his wand but it was not there (I always have my wand with me he thought) and this unnerved him. How was he to defend his self if he needed to? Slowly going down the stairs, he heard voices coming from the far end of the room that the stairs led into. One was a woman for sure but he couldn't tell who or what the other two were because they were talking so low. As he reached the end, he could see a pillar there and decided that he would look around from there the best he could. Peeping around the pillar, he could now see that they were indeed ghosts. One woman and the other two were men. He couldn't see their faces because they were turned away from him talking in low whispers. Wanting to know who they were kept him where he was at. If this was Voldemort playing with his head again he wanted to remember every detail of this.

Harry had to move quickly they were moving his way and did not want to be seen. He pushed his body against the wall in the dark shadow of the pillar and waited, his heart pounding in his chest. He could hear them talking clear as a bell now that they were moving his way.

"James I know you are worried that there is no one to watch over Harry now that Sirius is with us. Please love I'm sure Remus or even Dumbledore is taking care of our son so no harm will come to him"

"Lily I told you that Harry not only has Remus, Dumbledore, but also the Weasley's to watch over him and make sure he will be ok; you don't have to worry, It's when he goes back to your sisters that you should be watching over him". Said Sirius

"Love please listen to him he last saw Harry two months ago and knows what people are good to him, there are people who will take care of him for us. He is almost sixteen years old and by what Sirius has told us he has learned a lot and can take care of himself. Love please don't be sad and cry; I know you love him and have missed his growing up but it was meant to be. Petunia and Vernon will get theirs in the end for making his life hell. We have to go now, you will be able to come back again and watch over him again soon. I know he loves you love; so take one last look and let's go back."

"Ok James, I know you are right and so is Sirius. I do think in the summer we should check on him at Petunia's house. I would love for her to see my face just once more so I can scare the life out of her for what they have done to our son".

"Lil's I'm sure that if any of the Weasley boys have their way they will get what is coming to them in the end. James you would have loved to hang out with Fred and George Weasley. They could have been Marauders. They make joke products and spy gadgets".

"All right boys (looking at both with raised eyebrows) and right now you are acting like boys. Don't you give me that look James Harold Potter! It is time to leave".

"MUM, DAD, SIRIUS COME BACK! PLEASE COME BACK!"

The scene changed so quick; he was now in a large room; by the fire there was a large high back chair. Looking up from the floor, Harry knew who was sitting in that chair; he had encountered him many times (he was looking through Nagini's eyes tonight).

"Wormtail, Voldemort called for his servant. What news do you have for me on the new plan to get Harry Potter?"

"Master, …t…t…th…the Deatheater's you sent out …t…t…t…to find the information are …n…n…n…not back yet. I don't know if they have found any useful information yet. As soon as they return…I…I…I…I will bring them to you. If I could have only gone with them I would have more answers for you Master,"

"Wormtail, you know I will not stand for failure. If you do not have news for me in two days time, you will be punished. Do you understand me Wormtail"?

"Yes Master, I understand I'm your most faithful servant and I...I...I...I…wi…wi… will not…fa…fa…fai…fail you. If I have not heard any news by tomorrow I will find them and bring them to you,"

"Oh and Wormtail be sure that if they fail me that you punish them or you will be punished worse. Come here Wormtail and bow before your Master

"Y…Y…Y…Yes Master"

"Crucio",

End of dream

With the speed of lightning, Harry shot up out of his bed breathing hard; grabbing his forehead from the pain he was feeling and had sweat running down his face. He had a sick filling in the pit of his stomach (did I really see my parents in my dream or was that wishful thinking he thought). Harry needed to talk to Remus about this dream. He also would talk to Mrs. Weasley and see if she talked to Dumbledore about the dreamless potion.

"I really need a good nights sleep or I will be walking around like a dead person" he thought.

 Harry curled up on his side and closed his eyes again to try to go to sleep. It was only two in the morning and he really needed his rest for the trip they would make to Diagon Alley. As his eyelids became heavy, he thought that if it was indeed really Sirius, his mum, and his dad that could be a good thing (or could it). It would show they were watching over him (or he was going crazy) all this time and he was not alone, but it could also mean that he was losing his mind and would have to go to St. Mungo's and not go back to school and that is not what he wanted to do. With St. Mungo's being Harry's last thought he slowly went back to sleep feeling a new dream starting. Looking at his clock, he knew he would be tired when it was time to get up. He fought to keep his mind clear and finely fell into a dreamless sleep.

Morning came too early for Harry. Today would have been a day that he would have enjoyed to have a lie in for a few more hours. They were going to get Hermione and their school stuff today (I've got to get out of bed, he told himself).

"I'm so glad I took a shower last night that way all I have to do is get dressed; I'm just to tired to do any thing else." He thought

Sitting up and dragging himself over to his dresser to get something to wear; he thought about what all happened last night. In eight days, Neville and Luna would be here for a few days and he would set everyone down and try to tell them some of the things that had happened since his fourth year at Hogwarts. He knew it would be hard but he had to find his Gryffindor courage, and the sooner he did that the better.

"I really need to get a grip on my emotions this year. I'm not sure if I will have to fight Voldemort this year; most likely next year but I will have to have my emotions under control; no matter when I have to fight him. One way to do that is to let my friends know what is going on and what has went on the past few years. I know I won't be able to tell them everything but I'm going to try".

 Looking at the pictures on the wall that Sirius had up of himself, Remus and his parents he bowed his head and ask them to help him have the strength to tell his story to everyone. All of a sudden, he could smell bacon, sausage, maybe fried potatoes, eggs, and ham cooking. His stomach gave out a loud growl showing that he was hungry. Harry put a smile on his face (he loved Molly's cooking) and left his room to head for breakfast. Stopping at Ron's door and knocking to see if he was up so they could go to breakfast together. No one answered so he tried to open the door. When he opened the door and saw that he wasn't in there, he headed on down to the kitchen. Coming down onto the landing where Ginny's room was he stopped. Should he knock or should he just go down. Thinking about telling her he wanted to see her beautiful face last night, he could feel the blush coming in his face and decided it would be better just to go on down.

When he got to the kitchen, Ron and Ginny were at the table already. Sitting down across from them he poured a glass of juice. Ron looked like he didn't get much sleep after he went back to bed and Ginny looked just as bad. He wondered if he looked the same way after the Kreacher business and his dream of Voldemort and his dead family. What was Voldemort trying to find out or was he having his Deatheater's look for him. Would everyone be safe in Diagon Alley today? He would have to tell Mr. Weasley about the part with Voldemort in it. No hiding anything this year no matter how mad he was or how pissed off he was. That was a promise that he had made to himself.

"Mrs. Weasley is Mr. Weasley still here or has he gone to work". He asked her.

"No, he is in the lounge talking to Dumbledore right now. Why did you need to know; is there something wrong Harry dear"?

"I had another vision last night".

As he said this to her; he made his way out the kitchen door. Molly didn't even try to stop him she knew he needed to have someone know just in case someone was in some kind of danger. He would tell her about it when he was ready, that she knew for sure. Harry moved swiftly to the lounge; he stopped outside the door to steady his breathing and steady his nerves. He hadn't seen Dumbledore since he destroyed his gadgets in his office at the end of last term. When he raised his hand to knock on the door, it opened to show the worried faces of Arthur Weasley and Albus Dumbledore.

"Come in Harry", Dumbledore said with a smile.

"Sir, I had another dream or vision again last night. I was seeing everything through Nagini. Voldemort was talking to Wormtail about some Deatheater's that are out trying to find out information. He has two days to find them and get the information to Voldemort or he will punish Wormtail. Voldemort put the Cruciatus Curse on Wormtail and I could feel it like it was hitting me. I…I…all….so…..saw….my parent's ghosts and Sir…..Sir….Sirius's ghost. (The tears started flowing as he continued to tell them about his nightly dream). They were talking about…my mum...watching over me and Sirius…was telling them that Remus, and you sir…and…and all the Weasley's were watching over me."

Arthur had put his hand on Harry's shoulder when he stated talking. It was his way of trying to give him comfort and some support. Dumbledore turned to Harry and began to speak in a soft tone.

 "Harry we are not sure what Voldemort may be looking for. I'm glad you told us what you saw concerning Voldemort. We must stand together through these trying times. The war has begun and I know that this is all hard on you and for you at times Harry, but please be assured that I'm always here to help you and listen to you no matter what you think of me; for the way I handled everything before today. Alas I am not sure why you are now seeing Sirius and your parents in your dreams. I have always believed that your parents have always watched over you in some way. This may have been a way for them to show you they are here for you, and a way to show you that Sirius is safe with his old and dear friends; so you would stop worrying. Is there any thing else, you want to tell me Harry."

"Yes sir, last night Ginny got scared because Kreacher was in her room. I think he went in there while she was taking a shower. She went to Ron and he tried to calm her down but she was too frightened to do that. I found Ron sitting outside his room after hearing a noise. We talked and then he went to bed. Then I found Ginny on the stairs so afraid to go back in her room for the night. I checked her room to make sure Kreacher wasn't there anymore; then she went back to bed. I was wondering if there is anything we can do to him. I know this may sound mean but I want him dead for betraying Sirius. If he can't be made dead then do something to seal him in the basement so he won't frighten Ginny anymore. Both Ginny and Ron look like death warmed over sitting in the kitchen right now. Please sir; is there any thing we can do to him?"

"Harry, I will see what I can do about keeping Kreacher under control. I'm sure that Kreacher was in fact in Miss Weasley's room last night. I'm sorry she was so frightened but let them know I will see to it and that it will never happen again. I promise you that all right Harry."

"Yes sir, also I'm not sure if Mrs. Weasley talked to you before about this but after last night I would really like to have at least one good night sleep. Is there any way that Mrs. Weasley can give me a dreamless sleep potion; when and if I need it and if there is anyone else besides Professor Snape, I would like to continue with the Occlumency lessons as soon as I can."

"Yes Harry, Molly spoke to me about the potion and I have agreed to give her enough for four uses. When and if she sees that you need it, all you have to do is ask her but please only when you really need it all right."

"Yes sir, I think that is all but if I have anymore dreams I will go straight to Mr. Weasley unless you are here or we are at school; then I will come straight to you. I know that lives can depend on it after Nagini attacked Mr. Weasley. I'm going to go eat breakfast now. We will be leaving to go to Diagon Alley soon. Thank you Professor Dumbledore and sir I'm so sorry for the mess I made in your office last term."

"Please do not worry your self about it, as I said that night I have way to many items in my office and everything is fixed and back in order. You go on and eat and I may see you and Neville on your birthday."

Harry gave Dumbledore and Mr. Weasley a small smile and left the room. His heart felt lighter after telling them of his dream or vision. Now he had to face his two friends at the breakfast table. Mrs. Weasley was cleaning the kitchen when Harry got back to the table.

"Oh Harry dear; here is your plate I kept your food warm. Ginny and Ron have gone up stairs to get ready. We are going to meet Hermione and her parents in Diagon Alley in an hour. So eat up your breakfast, we are going to have lunch in Diagon Alley, do all the shopping for you, Ron, and Ginny and then let you visit Fred and Georges shop. That should take up most of the day."

In between bites, he nodded his head as Molly told him of the days events. He finished off his last bite of food and took his plate to the sink.

 "Mrs. Weasley did Ron and Ginny tell you about Kreacher. Also, Neville's birthday is the same day as mine by what Dumbledore told me last term and I was wondering if you could add his name to the cake to, I don't want him to fill left out. I want to get him something in Diagon alley for his birthday as long as it is ok with you to make an extra stop or two. Dumbledore told me he has made arrangements for the potion when I need it."

"Yes Harry dear, Ginny told me about Kreacher and I am sure Dumbledore will take care of him and of course Harry, we can add Neville's name to the cake. I didn't know it was his birthday too but I agree we should include him in the celebration. It won't be a problem to make a few stops to make sure he has presents to open too. Are you all ready to go we need to get the others and leave soon?"

"Yes ma'am I'm ready to go if you want I can get Ginny and Ron so we can leave. I want to make sure we have enough time to get everything done so when we get back the four of us can have some time together before dinner."

With that said, Harry headed up the stairs to get Ginny and Ron. Knocking on Ginny's door first, Ginny opened her door to find that Ron was in Ginny's room so Harry didn't have to go up to his room.

"Are you two ready to go, your mum is waiting down stairs for us so we can leave."

Both Ginny and Ron said at the same time "Yes"

 "Yes, we are ready to go; we were just waiting on you."

"We didn't know if you were through talking to dad and Dumbledore yet; so we were just sitting here talking." Ron said

The three young teens made their way down the stairs to a waiting Mrs. Weasley. Next, stop Diagon Alley.

Thanks again for readying my little story. I'm sorry it has been so long since I have up dated. The story it's self is 5,472 words. I took extra time to make sure there were no spelling errors. I hope that everyone enjoys this chapter.
