First, I want to apologies to all my readers for making you have to wait so long for this chapter. Between real life and my mind going blank and suffering from writers block. I would sit down at the key board and nothing would come to mind to put in this chapter. When I would come up with ideas and start to write; boom my mind would go blank again. I worked it the best I could and according to word, there are 10,386 words to this chapter. I hope that you will not be disappointed and will enjoy this chapter. If I am going to get this finished before book six come out then I am going to have to make my brain work with me and get to typing; there are only 101 days until book six comes out and I want to have this finished before it hits the stands.

Ok, I have rambled on enough; it is time for me to thank all of my wonderful readers who have read this story and even more thanks to all of you who have reviewed and keep me going.

Lourdes: I know it takes SIYE a while before it is uploaded too where the readers can read it. Well with him being that powerful we can only think he would be more powerful then Dumbledore, Voldemort and I just figured he might even more powerful then Merlin. I believe that is what J.K Rowling was talking about in an interview she did a while back; she said that he (Harry) was progressing as a wizard and that he has to master his own feelings to make himself useful. Yes, Poor Harry has to go through a lot to accomplish getting control of his magic and getting ready for the finial battle with old Voldemort. Thank you so much for reading and reviewing my story.

smeagol-girl: Well I am not sure if I should be flattered or worried with the "holy crap you write a lot". All I can say is when I start writing I don't stop until I feel I have covered everything that needs to be covered and at times I get carried away and forget to stop. I want to give my readers as much as I can in each chapters; I do love to find a fan fic that has many chapters and that each chapter is long. The more to read the better I like it but that's not to say that I will sit and read a story that is long that makes no since at all. I do hope that you are enjoying the story and will continue re3ading until it is complete. Thanks again for reading and reviewing.

braveheart28: Thank you so much for the complement and I do hope you will continue enjoying the story and reading until the end. Thanks so much…

GiGiFanFic: I am sure I used the wrong wording and I do believe I went back and changed it from discharging to chargin. Manor as in house not manner as in manners. I will go back and recheck it since it has been a while since you left the review and if I have not fixed it then I promise I will fix my mistakes. Jeanne every time I see that you have reviewed I get goose bumps; you always tell me where I have made an error and how it should be and always making me smile with your kind words and vote of encouragement with writing this story and for the one I am going to write when I finish this one and my adoptive story Over the Summer. Thank you so much for the support and the kind words; if I ever write a sucky chapter I know you will tell me and I am glad for that. I do hope you enjoy this chapter and I can't wait to read your review. Joyce

Ren: Well I bet you are cussing me out for not giving you another quick chapter; I do hope that you will understand and not want to kill me for taking so long to get this chapter out. Yes I meant Manor and I believe I fixed the error but I am not sure; I will be checking it out and fixing it if I haven't. I agree with you about letting it disappear into legend and yes it would leave it open to a sequel in the future (not saying that will happen LOL), I am so glad to hear that you have checked out Over the summer and are liking the story line but I must confess that it is so hard to write a "Good Draco" but I want to keep it going the way she would have tried to write it. Thank you so much for the support and the great review.

Joyce

Quill in Hand: Hello there Wolfgurl and I like your new name; does that mean that you are writing a fic yourself and if so I will check it out and review. It makes my day to see so many people still reading my story and do hope that I keep it good enough that you all will be there in the end. Thanks again for the support and the reviews. Joyce

Mysticruby: Hello there and I am glad to hear that you enjoyed the last chapter as much as you have the others. Thank you so much for the kind words and the support in my writing. I am sorry it took me over a month to get this chapter out and I won't make any promises but I am going to try and have this finished before book six comes out. This leaves me 101 days to get Harry and Ginny to turn into their Animagus forms, and a whole lot of other stuff so that we can get to the end of the story. Thank you again for being here and giving me your support and reviews. Joyce

harryp123: Thank you so much

old muggle: Yes, you are right about the mistakes and I have went back and changed but I'm not sure if I uploaded them onto the site. As you said as a first time writer I am bound to make these mistakes and with reviewers like you that help point this out I am able to go back and fix them and learn not to make the same mistake twice. I love it when I reviewer shows me where I made the mistake so I can correct it. You never did say what web site you were talking about and I do hope you will tell me where it is in your next review. I am glad to hear that overall you think my fic good; and thanks for the support and reading my story. Never say "sorry" for pointing out a mistake that I have made. I really do want to hear where I have messed up so that I can fix it. I have to say that your review was one of the longest reviews I have ever gotten (other then the ones where people e-mailed me) and I thank you so much for the helpful hints and the review…Joyce

genius04: Thank you so much for the kind words and for being so kind and reviewing my story. I really did try to put my self in the mind set of a fifteen year old but it was really hard since that age for me was so long ago. I do plan on going back and trying to make it better once I am fully finished with this story (and done reading book six LOL). Another problem is I am female and it is hard to get into the mind set of a 15 year old male but I will try harder when I go back over the story. Thank you again for reading my story and taking the time to review.

dnd4ever: Yes Harry and Ginny will transform before the end of school but not for a few more chapters I think (maybe in the next chapter, as I am not sure yet) but it will be soon.

Sophie: Yes, if I had not read a interview that was done a while back with J.K. Rowling I would normally agree but in that interview she did say that Harry would be coming to terms with everything and come into his own per-say. Not be so (as you put it gruff) and come to terms with everything including the prophecy. I am glad that you liked my story so far and took the time to review.

Cycla: Thank you so much for still reading and most of all reviewing the story; I thank you so much for your continued support and reviews on the chapters. I have to apologies for it being so long since I last posted a new chapter.

I hope you have found out if it is going to be a boy or girl (what are you hoping for) I know when my daughter was expecting, I was hoping for a girl and yes I was a bit disappointed when it was a boy, but we love him just the same. He is a joy to have around, and his Grandpa is spoiling him rotten. I hope everything has worked out and please let me know what it is going to be and if there are in fact two babies; also when the birth happens and you by chance do have the babies first web site let me know; I would love to see the new baby. Good luck and thanks again for reading and giving me your support.

Ktwesterna: Thank you so much for the support and reviewing my story.

punk-rock queen is cool: I am so glad that you are enjoying the story and I do have to apologies for it being so long since I last up dated. The worst part I guess is that this story has and will be right off the top of my head and when the mind is not working then there is not writing done and that is what has happened but I do plan on trying to keep this up so that by July this story will be finished. I will do my best to get another chapter out as soon as I can; thanks so much for the review and the support.


Miles: I thank you for reading my story and taking the time to review; I also want to thank you for checking out Over the summer.

Meia Crites: Hello and thank you for the e-mail, I have a sister who lives in West Virginia but in which I couldn't say. She is a preacher with the Salvation Army. After checking out you're your pen name on fanfiction; I must say I was surprised that you checked out my story (since you say that you don't like Ginny very much) but I am glad that you did check it out and are enjoying it. When I started reading Over the Summer I have to say I enjoyed the simple form in which the writer wrote and when the notice went up that that she was no longer able to finish it I had to try to adopt it. One of my pet peeves is to be reading a story and the writer just giving up and not finishing it; so I swore that if they would let me take it over I would make sure it got finished.

I am like you in the aspect of Harry Potter is not just for kids and I wish more adults would pick up the first book and start reading. I think if they did they would understand how these books affect kids on the learning level and how it makes them want to read more. I will check out you name and if I do read any of your stories I will leave a review to let you know what I think. Thank you so much for checking out my story and reviewing. Joyce

Joou Himeko Dah: Thank you for the complement on my writing and I am sorry that it seems corny or Clichéd (no offense taken), I do hope that you will keep reading until the end and as always let me know what you think or if you find any mistakes. Thanks again…Joyce

Prototype: I am sorry that you got peed off at the mistakes but I plan on going over each and every chapter once the story is finished. This is my first story and my first try at writing. I hope and you read more chapters that my mistakes are less and you enjoy the story and the story line. I never take offense to any of my reviews and love to hear what my readers think. Thank you again for reading and reviewing my story.

Can Love Find Me Now

Chapter 46

Andromeda Estates

Sunday morning turned out to be one of the best days for Harry and his friends; they were allowed to sleep in until nine-thirty that morning and when they awoke found food sitting on a table in the center of the room. Ron was the first out of bed and at the table before anyone else could set their feet on the floor. In the room the girls shared, they had awoken to food waiting on them as well and had enjoyed the private breakfast that Dobby and Winky had prepared for them. Once they finished eating, showered, and dressed, they all headed for the living room. Ginny, Luna, and Hermione were sitting around a table with parchment out and each of them was writing as if their life depended on it. Hermione looked up and motioned for them to join them at the table. Hermione explained that they were getting a head start at setting up things for the plan; there was a lot to do and just not enough time.

Ginny explained that her parents had gone to see the headmaster and would be back by lunchtime and if things went right, Harry would be showing them Andromeda Estates. In Harry's opinion that was the most important thing to do, there was a lot to do to the manor for kids who had no parents. Harry knew that it would need to be cleaned, artifacts removed, adjustments made to the house for the children and furniture bought so that there would be beds for them to sleep in. Harry had spoken to Dumbledore about the people who would run both Andromeda and Highland Estates; Harry had made it clear to the older man he wanted kind and loving people to take care of the children that would be living at both places. His biggest fear was that people like the Dursley's would end up taking care of the children and he knew that his parents would not want that to happen, let alone what he wanted.

All morning Winky would pop in and make sure the six students had everything they needed; after breakfast, Mark went back to Gryffindor tower to spend some time with his other friends and promised Harry he would be back for lunch. By lunchtime Hermione, Luna, and Ginny had stopped working on the things they had been working on; the Weasley's, Remus, Mark, and Dumbledore arrived just as the house-elves were putting lunch on the table. During lunch, Dumbledore informed the group they would be going to Hogsmeade after lunch to visit the manor, they all ate quickly. Everyone was excited about going into Hogsmeade to see Andromeda Estates; Mark some what retreated into his own little world, he was scared and excited all at the same time and everyone knew why and left it at that. The one question on everyone's minds, at least six of the seven students; was where exactly the estate was located; most of the people at the table didn't remember seeing anything that would be called an estate in their many visits to Hogsmeade.

At one o'clock Dumbledore announced that it was time to head to Hogsmeade; Dumbledore took the lead and headed down the stairs for the front doors of Hogwarts. No one said a word as the group walked towards the town of Hogsmeade; Mark looked on in wonder as he checked out everything around him. Harry couldn't help letting out a slow chuckle at the look that was plastered across Marks face; he knew that he would have a ball when he was able to explore the town. As they walked, Ron gave a running commentary of all the shops.

"Over there mark is Honeydukes where you can get any kind of wizarding sweet you can think of, over there is Zonko's joke shop (he whispered, "We get our prank supplies from WWW). There you have the Three Broomstick's which is owned by Madam Rosmerta; then you have Gladrags Wizardwear," he stopped talking as he noticed what way they were headed.

Ron had noticed that they were heading up High Street and past the wizarding equipment shop.

"Over there you have Dervish and Banges where you get you wizarding equipment," at this point Ron's words trailed off.

Ron noticed that they were heading out of Hogsmeade and heading into the countryside; many thoughts going through his head as they walked, sneaking glances at Harry and Hermione as they walked. He remembered back in their fourth year when they had walked the same winding lane to bring Sirius food when he was on the run and hiding out in the mountains in whose shadow Hogsmeade lay. Ron could see the corner that had led to where Sirius had been waiting for them that day so long ago just ahead of them; Ron wondered if they would take that turn. No sooner then that thought went through Ron's head, he noticed that Dumbledore took that turn and again he looked over to Hermione on his right and then at Harry who was on his left. He could see that Harry understood what way they were going; he could also tell that it was affecting him. Ron felt Hermione clutch his hand tighter and pull him into her side and he willingly wrapped his arm around her waist and held her tight. They all missed Sirius just as much as Harry and it was affecting the three more then anything had in a long time.

As they turned the corner Harry stopped right there in the middle of the lane; he stood there frozen in time remembering his meeting with Sirius. He could literally see Sirius in his Animagus form of Snuffles; front paws on the stile with the papers in his mouth. He could see the moment that he sniffed the bag he held with the chicken for his godfather; the wagging of his tail showing that he was pleased and ready to dig into the food that they had brought. Harry was doing everything in his power not to cry; Ginny not knowing what was going on took a hold of his hand and gave it a gentle squeeze. He gave her a weak smile, got his emotions under control, and started walking towards the exact spot where Sirius had been, his eyes down cast as he walked. Dumbledore, the Weasley's, Remus, Luna, Neville, and Mark were standing there waiting for the other four to catch up with them. Ginny thinking quickly, pulled Harry to a stop just before he walked into her father; when he looked up, he let out a gasp. There in front of him, in what he thought was an empty field, stood Andromeda Estates; to Harry it looked like a smaller version of Hogwarts castle.

"Can you see it," Harry asked no one in particular.

"See what Harry dear," asked Mrs. Weasley.

"What do you see Harry," asked Rom.

"It the field, one-hundred yards from the fence," Harry said.

"I can see it too," said Remus.

"As can I," said Dumbledore.

Mr. and Mrs. Weasley had a look of understanding (they had seen their new home a few weeks after the children left for school), Luna didn't seem fazed at all, Ron and Neville stood there wondering if they all had lost their minds, Hermione and Ginny had looks of understanding. Ginny could not see what the three were seeing; but she at least understood they were seeing Andromeda Estates. She gave Harry's hand a gentle squeeze and smiled up at him.

Harry could feel that someone was looking at him and he made himself look around to see who it was and when he looked down, he saw Ginny smiling at him with a twinkle in her eyes; though off to the side he could see Hermione and Ron giving him a worried look. He knew she could not see the massive house before him yet (though he felt it looked more like a miniature castle) but he was sure Dumbledore would tell him what to do so they all could see Andromeda Estates. Harry moved his attention back to everyone else around him; he knew they were all waiting for him and Remus to make it where they could see the house.

What had seemed to be a ten-acre (give or take a few acres) piece of land to the students of Hogwarts and the resident of Hogsmeade; now was showing its true self to Harry, Remus, and Dumbledore. From the view that Harry had he could not figure out the true size of this manor but he knew it had to be massive; right before his eyes he was looking at an eight story home.

The front porch was huge and divided into four different sections; one section on the right, one on the left, one in the front and then the center where you would enter through two ten foot doors. To the left and right there were flowerpots (which were empty) separating a few benches; ten columns held the roof that covered these sections. On each side of the porch Harry counted sixteen windows (not counting the ground floor) on the first six floors; how many rooms he wasn't sure but knew that this house would have plenty of room to house many orphaned children. The top floor only had six massive windows on each side of the front porch; his mind had to wonder what was on that floor. Harry decided it was time to ask the important question; so he turned away from the house and looked right into the twinkling eyes of Albus Dumbledore.

"Sir, um…how…why…how do we let the others see? How are we going to make it to where it can be seen for the kids who come to live here?" Harry asked in a shaky voice.

"Awe my dear boy, this is simply answered; since it is only protected right now by the bindings from the Will I as the executor will cast a simple charm once we arrive to the home you see. Once everyone is inside the home, I will just simply recast a charm and hide the home again. I have spoken to Bill Weasley about the protection wards that will go up before anyone moves into the home; I will make sure it is well protected to protect the children until this war is over." Harry could tell that Dumbledore was doing what he could to make things right.

"I guess we should start making our way to the front doors," Molly said as she grabbed her husbands hand and waited to be shown which way to go.

"Thank you sir," Harry said as he took Ginny's hand in his; Mark being unsure and a little afraid slipped his hand into Harry's other hand. Harry gave the boys hand a little squeeze to let him know it was going to be ok; Dumbledore and Remus took the lead and started moving towards the house. Harry and Ginny fell in behind them, with Hermione, Ron, Neville and Luna going right behind them; Molly and Arthur Weasley followed at the very back of the group. They walked parallel to each other; two lines from Dumbledore to Arthur Weasley and the only exception was Mark Evans walking beside Harry.

If by chance any of the residents of Hogsmeade happened to see these eleven walking across the field they probably would have thought it was a group of mourners; heads bowed down low and a look of sadness on their faces but on this day the fates would be with this group and they would not be seen. Fifty feet from the door, Harry asked how close they had to be for the charm to be said; he wanted the others to see the front of the house. Dumbledore informed him that once they were at least twenty feet from the house he could perform the charm. This would give everyone a view of the front of the house. It wasn't long before Remus and Dumbledore stopped; the wave of his wand and a charm said under his breath and the house came into view.

"Great Merlin," came from Molly as soon as she saw the house.

"Oh my word," was heard from Hermione.

"Bloody Hell," came from Ron's mouth

"Ronald Weasley watch your mouth," came from Molly Weasley.

"God it's so big," came from Neville.

"It's beautiful Harry and Remus," came from Luna.

Ginny squeezed Harry's hand and said, "It's wonderful Harry."

Just as quick as it came into view it was gone; Dumbledore motioned for everyone to continue forward. He instructed everyone to stay right behind him; he would lead them to the front entrance and then say the charm once again. Once again, they all stopped, Harry and Remus being asked to come forward by Dumbledore then instructed them to say together as they held onto each door handle "We are the new owners and take position of this home" and once it was said, they were to open the front doors together. Both of them looked at each other and gave a small nod, moved forward and grabbed the handles and repeated the words Dumbledore had told them; as they said home they both pushed the leaver down on the handle and pushed open the doors.

As they stepped inside the doors, Dumbledore said the charm and everyone could see the entrance hall before them. Dumbledore ushered them in quickly, stepped inside said the charm and Harry and Remus shut the doors.

"Please, no one move from where you stand; Harry, please summon Dobby and Winky to you; we will need their help to provide light and take care of any creatures that have made a home here. Since they have bonded them selves to you all you have to do is think that you need them here and they will come," Dumbledore instructed. Harry did as he was asked and with in seconds Dobby and Winky were standing right beside Harry.

"Harry Potter sir, how can Dobby and Winky serve you," Dobby asked.

"Hello Dobby, Winky; if you could please help us get the curtains open so that we can have light; we'll start with this floor and if there are any creatures that are living in them please get rid of them."

"Dobby and Winky is being good house-elves; we has taken care of all the nasty creatures in Harry Potter's homes and for your Mrs. Wheeze's home. We is doing this when we is looking for your items to keep from the dark lord. Dobby and Winky has started cleaning when we is not working at Hogwarts for the great Headmaster Dumbledore."

"Thank you," came from Harry and Dumbledore at the same time.

With in minutes light was coming into the rooms; Dobby and Winky were popping in and out so quick that no one had a chance to move to help open the curtains. They stood in a massive entrance hall; the stairs right in front of them and looking on each side you could see four doors and two new openings, which led to hallways that would take you to other parts of the down stairs. When Dobby and Winky found the group fifteen minutes later, they were in the library, Hermione been the one that had opened the door. Ron and his mother were holding on to the girl that was bouncing on the balls of her feet; anyone that knew her would swear that she had to hold every book that she saw or she would go mad. Ginny and Luna couldn't help but giggle at their friend; she was too predictable when it came to a room full of books.

"Harry Potter, Dobby, and Winky has opened all the curtains to the windows in the whole house; what else can Dobby do for Harry Potter?"

"We're going to be here for a while so I guess just stick around just incase we need you both," he said to the two house-elves.

"We is here to help Harry Potter with everything he wishes like good house-elves," said Winky as she bowed to Harry.

"Is Dobby needing to have food ready for you Harry Potter and his family?"

"I'm not sure Dobby but I will let you know ok?"

"Yes Harry Potter, Winky, and Dobby is going to start cleaning and when you needs us just call Harry Potter sir," and with that said the two house-elves vanished with a small pop.

Three hours later (it was four-thirty by this time), twelve feet of parchment divided into sections (Keep, Destroy, Sell, Hide, and donate) and a group of tired people sat in what Remus had called a gentlemen's lounge on the fourth floor of the manor. The fourth floor (in the front section of the house) consisted of four rooms; the gentlemen's lounge, right across the hall from there was the nursery (where beds had once been for the children), the ladies sewing room, and right across the hall from there the nursery play room (this was where the children were allowed to play inside the manor). It took Mr. and Mrs. Weasley, Dumbledore and Remus to explain the usage of two of these rooms. Hermione had made comments about how barbaric, mid evil, male chauvinistic, and a few other choice words that most were shocked to hear come out of the mouth of their know-it-all friend. Ron and Harry even cried out, "Hermione langue please" and enjoyed the bright red tinges that came out on her face, arms and ears; at the embarrassment of using curse words.

Everyone had a good laugh, which in the end made Hermione blush even more. Ron was in a state of euphoria; Hermione (his Hermione he thought with a smile) had lost her cool and used words that she herself had reprimanded him for using and he decided he would use this to his advantage in the future. At five o'clock Dobby and Winky popped back into the room to set things up for everyone to eat and popped back out to get the food from Hogwarts kitchen. After eating, they continued working their way through the rest of the house and by seven-thirty; Dumbledore informed the group that it was time to head back to the castle.

Remus and Harry took a break from the group to look into what Harry thought to be the back yard; the back yard turned out to be huge and included its own garden that would make his Aunt Petunia envious. While out there, Harry notice that from the main part of the house there were two towers, these connected to the extensions coming off each end. He knew it was going to take a lot of time to cover every inch of the house but in the end, he knew that it would have the room to hold many children, (he just hoped that they would never have it that full). On the other hand, in his opinion, at least they would have plenty of room to give the kids a big living space.

Dumbledore decided to make a portkey that would take them to the room just off the great hall where Harry and the other Tri Wizard Tournament champions had met after their names came out of the goblet; dinner would be over and most of the students would already be gone from the great hall. Dumbledore wasn't sure when Mad-eye Moody would arrive and wanted to make sure they arrived in time for the meeting he had requested. Mr. and Mrs. Weasley would be going back to headquarters and would return on Wednesday to take up residents in Andromeda Estates along with Remus Lupin (who would stay on weekends until school was out); Mr. Weasley would return to work and help his wife in the evenings. Remus would meet them twice a week to arrange the sale of items that would help in the funding of the home. Dobby and Winky would be popping over to the manor everyday; only when they were not busy working for Dumbledore, and help move all the items from every floor that the group checked so far.

The group made their way to the entrance hall to say their good-byes to Mr. and Mrs. Weasley; Mad-eye Moody was waiting by the front doors with a long piece of wood in his hands. Arthur shook the hands of all the boys, hugged and kissed all the girls and stood back while his wife played the part of mum to every one of the children. Molly and Arthur gave Moody a questioning look but didn't stop to chat; they made their way out the doors and headed for Hogsmeade, where they would apparate to headquarters. Moody stood by the doors until Dumbledore excused the others in the nicest way he could; letting them know he would not keep Harry very long. With reluctances, Harry's friends left him standing in the hallway and made their way up the stairs. Moody joined Harry and Dumbledore and headed up to the headmasters office. No one said a word until they had reached the office and the door was closed behind them. Dumbledore motioned for the two to take a seat and he himself seated himself behind his desk and made himself comfortable.

"Good evening Alastor, how may we help you this fine evening?"

"Albus, Harry; Tonks informed me that you sent her word; Albus you have the book?"

"No Alastor, with the help of two house-elves Harry has acquired the book and has enlisted Dobby to keep it well hidden and safe for the time being along with the second item. Tonks sent word that Voldemort has many of his followers looking for the items; do we know how many followers he has at this time?"

"We know that he has increased his numbers by ten fold; at last count his inner circle was diminished to less then twenty. The outer fold of followers is as high as one thousand and even higher but the recruiting is on going. The support for our side has increased as well and the numbers are openly higher then the first war and even higher after what happen back in June and you and Potter proving he is back."

"Alastor, what is this news about finding, how did Nymphadora put it "The old lion has found important things in his woods and needs advice on how to make a leg for his friend," the twinkle was shinning brightly in his eyes.

"So she called me an old lion did she; I did find something important but in my woods no; Voldemort has had some of his followers searching many places and Godric's Hollow was one of those places."

"Professor Moody, why would Voldemort have his deatheater's searching where he killed my parents; he didn't think that the items would be there did he?"

"Potter, call me Alastor or Moody, as you remember I was never really your professor but to answer your question he will look where ever he thinks they might be but that was before he found out where to really look," he said to Harry as he pulled out his hip flask.

"Alastor, what is it that you found while you were at Godric's Hollow?"

"As you know Albus after the Potters were killed that night; the Auror's that checked over the area never found much of anything left in tact. Everything was blown apart or was burning when they arrived; I was never called in to search the area afterwards. No one ever would have thought that the Potters had put charms on some of their belongings. I tell you Albus it was spooky to watch them damn deatheater's walking around and shoving the broken and burnt wood looking for Merlin knows what; they never realizing they were standing on charmed items and not even touching the ground."

"I tell you when I first saw them not touching the ground I flinched and then I started using my magical eye to scan the area. I sat there in that tree and watched them scour the grounds for damn near four hours; at one point, I felt eyes looking up in the trees around me and the one I was sit-in, not once but a few times. It was a good thing I disillusioned myself or they would have seen me for sure.

"Most of the things were small and I would put money on it they were family heir looms; the thing that boggled my mind was two shrunken trunks in the back garden. Once them deatheater's left I waited about twenty minutes before I came down out of that tree; I had to make sure they were gone for good you know. Any way once, I was out of that tree I made for the garden bench where the two trunks were; I was able to tell that they had the Potter's names on them. I sent them and most of the other things on to headquarters; for you to look at later Mr. Potter."

"Thank you sir," Harry said in a whisper.

"Well that's not all boy, you see this here piece of wood?"

"Yes sir"

"Can you guess what it is and why I brought it to you personally?"

"No sir, I'm not sure what it is other then a piece of wood," Harry responded again in a whisper.

"Well you see, I figure that where I found two of the things was where your dad was standing when he died and the other would have been where your room would have been. See we know that your mum was in your room because that is where her body was found with you and your dad was found at the bottom of the stairs; as we saw it back then he was trying to guard the stairs so your mum could do something or at least get away to save you both. You see the only part of the house that was damaged, well was the part you and your parents were in; there is whole other side to the house but no one has been able to enter it since they died. No one knows what is in there or if any one will ever know. but Potter I found three important things for you. I found two wands and I'm sure Mr. Ollivanders could tell you which is which. Now I can see them with me magical eye but not sure if you will be able to or not; if you can't then maybe Dumbledore here can get a box for me to put them in and figure out later how to make them visible again."

"I assure you Alastor that I will do everything in my power to help young Harry make the wands visible again. Was there anything else that you found that you have brought with you tonight?" Dumbledore asked with what Harry would have to say was the brightest twinkle in his eyes that he had ever seen.

"Yes, I would guess it is a muggle contraption; it's a cylinder thingy and it has some good protection charms and spells on it. I couldn't even see through it or see what's in it but I thought it might be important to the boy and brought it along. Potter all I can say is I'm sorry and that I wish I had been called in to look over the place back then; I know you would have liked to have these things sooner," as the old Auror spoke to Harry he shivered.

Harry could have sworn he saw a lot of grief cover his face as a lone tear rolled down his cheek but both were gone so quick and he wasn't sure if he had even seen it happen. Harry sat there and looked between his headmaster and Alastor Moody; he had always know he was a strange sort but after tonight he knew that he did have a heart and did care about a few of the members of the Order and to a certain extent he knew that this man care for him too. With a bit of hesitation and a lot of new grief flooding his veins he looked at the man as he tried to gather the courage to ask him to reveal what he had hidden in the piece of wood that he held tightly in his gnarled hands.

"Sir, um…are they…um…transfigured into that…um piece of wood?"

"Yes Potter"

"Could I…could you…please may I…um try to see them"

"Oh, yes, yes my boy. Sorry about that."

Harry noticed that he did blush a little but got it under control and placed the piece of wood on the red leather couch that was against the wall nearest him. Harry and Dumbledore stood and made there way over to where Alastor Moody stood, he was waiting for them to get into view of the couch before he changed the wood back to its original forms. They each took a side and waited for him to begin; next thing Harry knew was Moody had said an incantation and the piece of wood had been transfigured but to his disappointment, he saw nothing sitting on the couch.

"Sir, I don't see anything"

"I figured as much Potter, open your hand and I'll put one of the wands into it and we will see if you can see it or not; mind you if you can't then you'll just have to wait for Dumbledore to figure it out."

For reasons unknown, Harry opened up both of his hands and held them palms up, closed his eyes and waited for Moody to put the wand into his open hands. He felt the slight weight of the wand as it was placed in his hands; he shuddered as he felt a tingling sensation wash over his hands and move up his arms. Taking a deep breath, he slowly opened his eyes and could see a Mahogany wand that was about eleven inches long (was it his mothers or fathers, Harry thought to himself). Dumbledore gasped and one word escaped his mouth "James" and then closed him mouth as quick as it had opened. Harry jerked his head in Dumbledore's direction and then looked back to the couch. There sitting on the couch was the long cylinder object that Moody had described and another wand. For some reason he knew it was a Willow wand and it belonged to his mother; the wand was about ten and a quarter inches and just like the one in his hand looked worn but well cared for.

Harry laid the wand back down on the couch and turned back to look at Dumbledore. Harry wasn't for sure what he was feeling but right at this moment, he just wished Ginny was with him right at the moment. He knew he wanted to look inside the cylinder but could not get the courage to do so right then; he went to speak but nothing would come out of his mouth. He knew he wanted to speak; he had to speak but where to start and what to say boggled his mind. It felt like he had stood there for hours but in reality, it had only been a few minutes; he gathered up his courage and gathered his thoughts.

"Sir, professor Dumbledore um…could you please hold on to…well the wands and the cylinder. I know I should be excited and wanting to check everything out but I just feel sick and want to lay down…could we do this tomorrow…or…I…Please…I," to Harry it felt like his dinner and the whole world was trying to come out of his stomach. He stood there looking at his headmaster with pleading eyes; Dumbledore nodded his head and spoke.

"Harry no one in this room expects you to jump for joy per say, I understand how you must feel right at this moment and I will take very good care of your possessions until you feel the need to explore them any further. I will tell you that the wand you held was indeed your fathers as is the other wand your mothers. Just remember they were good and kind people, when you are ready weather alone or with your fiends, I will be more then happy to give them to you. Alastor is there anything else that you need Harry for, if not I do believe it would be prudent for him to return to Gryffindor tower."

"Only that the rest of the property I found has been sent to headquarters and that when you see fit Albus it is there waiting for him to collect. God speed Potter."

"Thank you sir, I really do appreciate you bring these to me and collecting the other stuff. It's just so over whelming is all; again thank you. Professor Dumbledore, thank you too and I'll let you know when…you know to look at the cylinder and stuff. Good night sirs," and with that said Harry left the headmasters office and almost ran full speed back to Gryffindor tower.

Once Harry arrived to the portrait of the Fat Lady, he stopped mid word; he wanted to go inside and see Ginny but he wasn't sure if he really wanted to have everyone look at him and ask all the questions he was sure they had come up with. Harry stepped back into the shadows along the wall and sank down to the floor; drawing his knees up to his chest and crossing his arms as he lay his head down. He didn't know how long he had sat there but he knew one thing, sitting on the cold stone floor of the castle had not been one of his best ideas; he didn't care his mind was to numb to even think about it right at that moment.

Many events were playing through his mind; his Aunt Petunia lying to him about how his parents had died, not telling him that he was a wizard, or that he was famous in the wizarding world (which he hated). He had suffered for so long to find out when he was just eleven years old that he had money and never should have been made to wear Dudley's hand me downs. Slowly over the years, he was finding out more about his parents and along the way he was being given things that had been theirs. His invisibility cloak he got his first year at Hogwarts, finding out about his godfather, seeing parts of the Marauders fifth year in Snape's pensive and then just after he got to headquarters Dumbledore himself gave him a family trunk.

He felt the need to stop this line of thinking because it hurt so badly but he just didn't have the heart to stop the self inflected pain he was causing himself. He had to make himself remember all the pain that Voldemort had caused him; for if he stopped thinking about it, he would turn away from his friends and family and run. He knew that most of the things that had happened to him over the past six years were good things and he would never trade those for the world but a phrase he had heard long ago kept creeping its way back into his brain.

"For every drop of good that comes your way there is always a bit of bad that comes along with it," and when it came to his life, the life of the-boy-who-lived boy did that saying fit his life.

Now he was handed more good, things of his parents, it made him wonder what bad was coming, and when would it show it's self. Then the truth hit him even harder remembering every thing that Moody had said in Dumbledore's office; he had found two trunks and some other things that his father or mother had charmed. He had sent them to headquarters and when he was ready, he could return there and go through the many things that Moody had found of his parent's things. As Harry slipped deeper into a state guilt and despair; if it hadn't been for him and that prophecy his parents would still be alive and living a happy life. His body slowly slid side ways until he lay on his side and a golden glow surrounded his body; that was how Ron and Hermione found him hours later.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

You could have heard a pin drop as the group of six walked up the staircase; Ginny and Mark were the first to start up the stairs with Neville and Luna not to far behind them. Ron and Hermione brought up the back of the group; whispering as they went.

"Mione, I think we should wait in the common room until Harry gets back; we need to be there…you know just in case," Ron said in almost a shy way.

"Ron, you know we have prefect rounds at nine; we just can't show up you know, because you know how professor McGonagall is and I for one do not want a detention."

"I know and you're right but I still think we should be there for him when he gets back."

"Ginny and the others will be there and if he needs anything they can help him; don't give me that look Ron. I know he is your best friend and so am I but Ginny, Neville, and Luna are his friends too and you know if it is too bad that he will be up when we get back at twelve."

"I know Mione, but I kinda feel like he might not need us any more since he has Ginny."

"Oh Ron, you know it's not like that; he will always need us just like we will always need him. He just needs Ginny in a different way is all; just like us, we need each other in different ways, you can calm me down when I get over excited about a test or like when Malfoy acts like a big prat and I can calm you. That is what Ginny does for Harry and Harry does for her; it's been good for Harry having Ginny and it's like they balance each other like you and I."

Reaching the Gryffindor portrait and giving the password "Merlin's Beard" the portrait of the Pink Lady opened and one by one they entered the common room. For an hour, they all sat at a table in the back corner of the common room; talking about the visit to Andromeda Estates and what Mrs. Weasley would have them doing this summer to get it ready. Mark had tried to contribute to the conversation but in the end, he just sat there quiet and listened to the others. At eight-forty-five, Hermione and Ron excused them selves from the group and headed to the library to relieve the two Ravenclaw prefects. Tonight their patrol would have them checking the forth floor up to the seventh floor; during their three hour patrol they would cover each floor once and then be relieved by the Hufflepuff prefects.

Ron and Hermione had been patrolling for over two hours and had found a few students in various classrooms, giving each warnings of detention and telling their head of house for house points to be deducted. There had been some complaining but in the end, they left and headed back to their own houses. Ron and Hermione were making their way back towards the staircases when Ron finally convinced Hermione to stop by the kitchens to retrieve a midnight snack; Dobby was happy to supply them with enough food for all of Harry Potter's friends. They still had thirty minutes of patrol time but it would almost take them that long to get back up to Gryffindor tower.

Hermione trying to be the perfect prefect made Ron act as such; he had wanted to hold her hand during their walk back (he really wanted to hold her hand the whole time they were gone) up the stairs. By the time, they had reached the sixth floor and were about to move onto the staircase that would take them up one more floor, looking up Ron stopped mid step and Hermione ran into his back. Ron's mouth was gaping open and then closing like a gold fish out of water; Hermione had a sinking feeling and punched Ron in the arm to get his attention, so that they could make it to their tower entrance.

"Mione why'd you do that for, didn't you see that glow?"

"Yes Ron that's why I punched you, something's not right. That glow is coming from the seventh floor and if my calculations are right I would say that the glow is coming from some where around Gryffindor entrance."

"You…you don't think…it can't be…do you think…its Harry?"

"What do you think Ronald Weasley, yes I think its Harry, but the question is what has him in this state. Come on before something bad happens."

As they rounded the corner, Hermione's breath caught in her throat. There against the wall was Harry, laying there almost curled into a ball and shaking as if he were out in the freezing weather. Hermione went to touch him but Ron grabbed a hold of her shoulder stopping her.

"Hermione you can't touch him; remember what happened the other morning. Ginny was the only one of us that could touch him; go get Ginny and then I'll go get Dumbledore."

"Ok Ron, I'll be right back."

It wasn't long before Hermione came back with a worried looking Ginny; on instinct Ginny moved towards Harry but Hermione stopped her in mid steep.

"Ron, go get professor McGonagall and professor Dumbledore; bring them to the hospital wing. We will levitate him there and make him comfortable until you get there with them ok?"

"Ok Hermione, but be careful ok and Ginny please don't touch him until I get there with both Dumbledore and McGonagall. I know you want to help him but please wait until we get there."

"I'll try Ron but the longer he's like this…I don't want to even think what will happen to him so hurry."

Ron headed down the stairs towards professor McGonagall's office first (better to have her along with the password) and then they would get the headmaster. Hermione conjured the stretcher and Ginny levitated Harry onto it; Hermione maneuvered the stretcher towards and down the stairs towards the hospital wing on the third floor. On the fifth floor, Ginny called out to Hermione to stop and had to grab a hold of her shoulder to get her to stop.

"Hermione please, Harry needs me; I can feel it and don't ask me how I know, I just know."

"Ginny you heard Ron; you can't touch him until we talk to professor Dumbledore."

"Hermione…I...look I can't explain it Hermione but I can feel that he needs me and no matter what you say I have to try."

Hermione was ready to scold Ginny for her carelessness but before either of them could say another word; Ginny was floating over Hermione's head and was being pulled into the golden glow that surrounded Harry. Hermione stood there in shock as she watched Ginny's form disappear into the glow; Hermione watched as her form floated down beside Harry. As her body met the stretcher, Harry's arms snaked around her and the glow became brighter. Hermione worried for both of her friends now, and began to move again at a faster rate. By the time Hermione had arrived to the third floor the glow had doubled in its brightness; more worried then ever she moved towards the hospital wing. There in front of her, at the doors of the hospital wing stood Ron, professor McGonagall and professor Dumbledore, it didn't make her feel any better or lighten the panic that was flowing through her seeing the headmaster smiling at her with a warmth that radiated from him as if nothing was wrong.

Dumbledore held the door open for Hermione; she maneuvered the stretcher into the room and placed it on the first bed she came too. Madam Pomfrey came bustling over to the group that surrounded the bed; with a look of comprehension on her face, she retreated to her office with out a word to anyone. Hermione started to protest but Dumbledore just held up his hand for her to stop.

"Miss. Granger, have you tried to touch the sphere at all since you found Harry in this state?"

"No sir, I went to get Ginny and then Ron went to get you and professor McGonagall when we came out; then I conjured the stretcher and we started moving down the stairs."

"Then what happened Miss. Granger," asked professor McGonagall.

"Well we got as far as the fifth floor and Ginny told me to stop but I knew we needed to get here so I tried to keep going and then Ginny grabbed my shoulder and made me stop. She said that she could feel that Harry needed her and when I started to try and make her see reason; well she just started floating over my head and went into the sphere."

"Did it appear that Miss. Weasley suffered any pain when her body went into the sphere?"

"No sir but as soon as she was in there and close enough to Harry he wrapped his arms around her. Sir, I think what happened; well Harry must have summoned her to him. She said she could feel he needed her so I suspect that he used accidental magic and summoned her to him."

"Yes, I would suspect that is just what happened Miss. Granger and I am sure that they are both doing just fine right at the moment. We will have to wait and see how long it will take Harry to get his powers under control so that he can explain what caused this to happen. I must ask that you both return to your tower and yes as soon as I have some good news I will send for you but please do not speak of this to anyone; I know there are a few that you can trust with this news and you will tell them but be discreet."

"Yes sir," came from both of them but they stood there for a few minutes before they both turned to leave.

They walked in silence all the back to Gryffindor tower; when they entered Luna, Neville, and a sleeping Mark were there waiting for them.

"Where have you two been," came from Neville.

With a stifled yawn Mark asked, "Where are Ginny and Harry?"

Luna had a blank expression on her face and with an air of boredom said, "Something important happened to Harry in Dumbledore's office tonight; Mr. Moody brought things to him tonight that belonged to his parents. I see why he was upset now and why he is glowing; makes since that he would need Ginny to help him. Neville and Ron do you think you could walk me back to my house; we have classes tomorrow and I need to get to bed."

"Not a problem Luna, Hermione will you wait up for us?"

"Yes, but don't be long I want to get some rest before we go and check on them in the morning. We'll meet you on the third floor landing in the morning Luna and we'll all go together to the hospital ok?"

"Sure Hermione but you know they will be ok; they will be awake in the morning when we get there so don't worry to much ok."

"Thanks Luna, I'll see you in the morning."

By the time Ron and Neville got back to the tower it was one-thirty in the morning and on the couch was a sleeping Hermione; Neville gave Ron a sympathetic look and headed up to the sixth year dorm. Ron took a seat in the chair and watched her sleep for a long time; he wondered what he would do if something like this ever happened to her or even himself. He wondered how Harry handled all the bad in his life; he had suffered so much in the past six years and now if Luna was right, (which she was, he had not doubt about it, with all the other predictions she had made so far), and he was having to deal with Moody finding some of his parents things, and then bringing them here last night. The last thought that went through his mind was that he was glad that Harry had his sister; most brothers would never admit to this but he was glad that Harry had some happiness in his life.

At five-thirty that morning, Mark found two of his friends asleep in the common room; Ron sprawled out in the chair (Mark almost laughed aloud; if he moved an inch he would fall right out of the chair) and Hermione curled up on the couch. He woke Ron first; it wouldn't do his manner any if he fell out of the chair. For once, in his life, Ron jerked awake yelling for Hermione; which in turn woke Hermione and she fell right off the couch. Mark couldn't help but laugh at the state of his two friends. After getting his laughter under control, letting them know what time it was, he took a seat, and waited for them to return so they could head to the hospital and check on Ginny and Harry.

Twenty minutes later Ron and Hermione were back in the common room with Neville right behind them; following each other out they headed down to the third floor. Neville took off at a run as they rounded the next staircase; Luna was standing there waiting for them. When they arrived, Harry and Ginny were sitting at a table eating breakfast; to say they were shocked was an understatement. Harry looked pale, his demeanor was one of a person that if you touched them they would fall apart, and was moving slowly. Ginny looked a bit better then Harry did, she had a bit more color then he did and was moving a bit faster but if truth be told she looked like she could fall over with just a touch. Ginny noticed the group first and motioned them over; she smiled weakly at them and Ron noticed that she tapped Harry with her foot under the table.

He looked up and she motioned with her head; he smiled at his friends and waited for them to make it over to them. The first thing he did was apologies to all of them; he knew they were all worried about them both. When he looked at Ron he had a bit of a blush on his cheeks; Ron knew nothing had happened between them but if his mum found out that, they had slept, together she would be go spar. Therefore, Ron being Ron decided to lighten the mood that hung over the group.

"You know Harry, if mum finds out that you two slept together she'll have you married off before the term can end," Ron said with a smile on his face and a twinkle in his eyes.

"Ron" Hermione said with a bit of laughter in her voice.

Ginny look at Ron as if he had grown another head and said, "You know Ron, if mum finds out some of the things you and Hermione have been up to; well lets just say you two will be joining us at the alter."

"Hey, we haven't been up to anything; just a bit of snogging is all but you and Harry, you have slept in the same bed."

"Hey that wasn't my doing; I'm sure Hermione told you what happened," Ginny said looking over to her friend to confirm what she had just said.

"That is true Ginny, so I guess we can put all the blame on poor Harry and let him deal with one of your mothers howlers," Hermione said with a hint of a smile on her face.

"I…I didn't…you know Ron that I…you know didn't do that on purpose…I would never in any way (everyone was laughing at Harry by this point), you know that wasn't funny Ron and you Hermione and Ginny going along with him," Harry said as he shook his head at his friends.

"Sorry mate, but I had to do it. Just know I understand what happened last night and I won't be telling mum anything, but know that if you ever decide to sleep with my sister you better be married because I won't be able to save you from mum, dad, Bill or any of my other brothers (minus Percy) if you aren't."

"How…we haven't told you a thing," Ginny said with wide eyes.

"Luna told us last night; she said, how did she say it Hermione?" asked Neville

"Ok let me think a minute (it only took her seconds); she said "Something important happened to Harry in Dumbledore's office tonight; Mr. Moody brought things to him tonight that belonged to his parents. I see why he was upset now and why he is glowing; makes since that he would need Ginny to help him." With the other things that she has seen, well we just knew she was right."

Harry looked from Hermione to Luna and then said, "Well I couldn't have said it any better; he did bring my parents wands and a cylinder thing. I got so upset I asked professor Dumbledore to hold on to them for me until I'm ready to see what's in it. Once I got back to the tower, for some reason I couldn't go in to face any of you. I just acted like a prat and started thinking about all the bad in my life, wallowed in self-pity and got caught up in my own power and couldn't get out. I started thinking about how Ginny could calm me and then I felt her near me; next thing I know I woke up this morning with her in my arms. So here we are eating breakfast and Madam Pomfrey won't let us leave until Dumbledore comes to check on us."

"And we still need to eat breakfast and get to classes; we will see you all later ok," came from Hermione.

"We'll all see you later; I'm glad that your ok Harry and you too Ginny; I don't know what I would do if I lost you two," Mark said as he hugged both of them, which embarrassed Harry's but hugged him back just the same.

Two hours later found Ginny and Harry still sitting in their beds; Dumbledore had not been in to see them yet. Madam Pomfrey had promised that she had informed the headmaster that they were awake and out of the protective sphere that had engulfed them the night before. Ginny had recovered fully but Harry was still shaky; Madam Pomfrey explained to him that he had weakened his magical core and that in time he would be back to normal. She also told him that once he had control of his powers, that he would not be weakened by its use; after that, she lectured him about learning to control his emotions and get his new powers under control. Harry listened to the medi witch and knew she was telling him the truth but would it really be that simple; time would tell and many hours of training before he would be able to control his powers.

Lunchtime came, went, and still no Dumbledore; Ginny was getting worried that they would be in the hospital all day and even into the night. If she had to admit, it to any one, she was glad that she and Harry were having this time alone but she had OWLS to study for and sitting here in the hospital was not getting any of it done. Neville and Luna came back to see them at one-thirty, both carrying backpacks. Neville explained to Harry that all of his books and homework were in the pack and that Hermione promised that she would be back at the end of the day with the rest of his class work and homework. Luna was doing the same with Ginny, and gave her the promise that she would be back with her other class work and to help her do revising for her OWLS. By dinnertime, Harry and Ginny were making plans to leave the hospital; unfortunately, as they were sneaking out professor Dumbledore and professor McGonagall came into the hospital.

"Going somewhere Potter, Weasley," professor McGonagall said with one eyebrow raised and her lips pulled into a fine line.

"Um…well you see…we just wanted to" said Ginny.

"Go for a walk professor…we've been in here all day and well we just needed to walk," Harry said to her and knowing full well, that his head of house was not believing a word he said.

"Be that as it may Mr. Potter; you were told you were to stay here until the headmaster came to see you both and here you are trying to sneak out. You both should be ashamed of your selves, now both of you back into those beds and listen to what has to be said."

"Yes Ma'am" they both said and marched back to their beds.

"Now Mr. Potter," but Harry interrupted her before she could finish.

"Professor McGonagall, professor Dumbledore before you ask any questions; please let me tell you what happened and then after, if you have any questions I will do my best to answer them. Well…when I left your office last night I was upset, as you know sir and well I let it eat away at me and well I started acting like I did when Sirius was killed. By the time I started thinking about all the good; well I guess it was too late and it took me over. Ginny told me that Ron and Hermione found me outside the portrait to Gryffindor tower and that Ron went to get you two and Hermione had gotten Ginny. It was like I could feel that she was there and I tried to call out to her but it didn't work; then it was if I could see her standing there talking to Hermione and I wished that she could be in my arms and then she was. When I woke up this morning we were still surrounded by the golden glow and she was still in my arms and I went back to sleep; a little while later we woke up to Madam Pomfrey asking us questions."

"I must say Harry, that you have answered all my questions but with this happening it also shows me that we must start your training now and not in a month as Remus and I had discussed. I know it will take away some of your free time but it is necessary Harry and I hope that you understand. We know that Voldemort will not stop until he has defeated you or you defeat him; I have faith that you will succeed in this fight but I want to make sure you are prepared for the fight you are about to face."

"I understand sir and I agree that I need to start now and not in a month; if I waited a month I might hurt someone or next time Ginny might not be able to help me. I need to make sure that I am ready to face him; all the other times that I beat him, was just dumb luck and a lot of help from my friends and family. If it hadn't been for you, sir he would have killed me in the department of mysteries and I never thanked you for that; so thank you sir."

"I know that you feel confined here Harry, Ginny but I must ask you both to please stay until tomorrow morning; that way we know that you are both completely rested and back to normal. Now Minerva, I do believe that there are some visitors waiting outside for our two guests; I will let Poppy know that she can release you in the morning and do get enough rest."

As promised Hermione had notes for Harry and his missed homework for the classes he missed and made sure to lecture him on the necessity of getting it done right away. Luna as promised brought Ginny her homework, notes that Colin had made for her, and told her they would catch up on their OWLS revision later on during the week. Ron brought up the subject of what Katie had planned for them during their next Quidditch practice on Tuesday, and what their hopes were for the house cup. Mark asked about the plans for the next DA meeting and what they would be learning; Neville and Luna joined in that conversation with excitement and ideas of what they could learn. Madam Pomfrey broke up the fun they were having; saying it was time for her two patients to get their rest and shooing them out of the hospital wing. Once she had them out; the medi witch came back over, gave them each a vial of dreamless sleep potion, and ordered them to take it as soon as they were done with their homework.

The pair sat on their beds and work for over an hour on the work they had but decided that since they had a few days before it was due they would stop for the night. For the next hour, they worked on relaxing and trying to change into their Animagus forms; they had better results this time but were not able to change completely and were getting closer. By ten O'clock, they decided it was time to take their potion and get some rest; tomorrow was going to be a long day and they wanted to spend some time in the room of requirements to practice some more on their Animagus training.
