Harry Potter and The Time For War

by RBlack

Chapter three Betrayal and Need

Harry awoke the next morning, however something was wrong, he knew that his new found knowledge on Occlumency worked however he had more than that, he had other memories. His mind was a mess of jumbled images and conversations, which were sorting themselves to their own accord.

A memory of a young girl, another of people he couldn't place in a time not of his own.

More and more memories began to unravel themselves, he saw himself as a baby, and he saw Tom Riddle as his true 16 year old self.

'Ohh my god, I have Dumbledore's memories' Harry thought to himself.

He searched through the newly sorted memories hundreds of them implanted into his own, memories of days gone by, of the first war, of destruction and loss.

Harry lay in his bed, for what seemed to be hours on end, trying to get a hold on things.

Then he saw it, in his mind, he saw a memory that would destroy his trust in the one person that he'd given complete loyalty to.

In a graveyard stood Voldemort in his present body, waiting for someone to appear,

Only moments pass and she walked into the memory, not fearful of her life as anyone should be in the presence of that monster.

"Hello Tom" She spoke, ease in her voice.

"Hello sister" Voldemort replied.

"You last attempt on my home was a bit much brother of mine, I had to clean for days to get the house back in order" she noted.

"I am sorry dear sister, but we must maintain appearances on both ends as to not arise suspicion." Voldemort returned.

"Yes dear brother we do, but please tell you lackeys to be more careful next time, the nearly ruined mother's clock." She answered.

He bowed his head to her and turned to leave, as did she.

Harry opened his eyes, sweat dripping from his face, his body also soaked to the bone.

It just couldn't be true, she couldn't be a traitor, it was just not possible, and if it was why was Albus still allowing her to be near him, and in the order? He kept asking himself those questions over and over until he heard a knock at the door.

"Harry you alright?" the voice asked.

He knew that voice, it was Ginny. He didn't know if he could face her right now, so he simply replied "Yea, Gin I'll be out in a few minutes, I just slept in."

He heard a faint 'ok' in reply as he heard her footsteps leaving the area.

Once showered and dressed, he needed to talk to Sirius and Remus about his latest development. Downstairs, Harry found Remus and Sirius talking about old times, and motioned to the both of them without making a sound to follow him.

They followed to the top floor of the house, trying to figure out where they were going, they rounded a corner, then up a short set of stairs, into the attic area of the home.

Harry stopped in room, waved his wand casting silencing, and other protection spells to be sure of privacy.

"What's going on Harry, why the need for all that protection against prying eyes and ears?" Remus asked looking a bit uneasy on the situation.

"I have something to tell you both, it's not pleasant. You know last night Dumbledore transferred his memories of Occlumency to me. Well this morning I woke up with years of thoughts of his as well." Harry said then paused biting his upper lip looking to stall time.

"What kind of memories Lil Prongs?" Sirius asked.

"All types of them, I must have an extra 100 years or so worth in my head." Harry noted irritably.

"Listen guys I have a memory of something I'd much rather forget but I can't as it effects the order and everyone I love. See there is a memory of Dumbledore's that's the most frightening thing I have ever seen." Harry paused, frightened to give out this information but it had to be done.

Sirius and Remus both with looks of curiosity mixed with fright for James's son sat intently listening to the details as Harry described the event in question in all the detail he could manage.

"Damn" Sirius quickly spoke after the memory was recounted. "Harry, if this is true, it about the worst possible case I could ever think of. I mean if she's really his sister then we are being lied to by more than one person."

Remus just sat pondering what he'd just been told, the woman had treated Harry like family, 'was it a setup?' he mused. Years of working with the woman now just y hearing a five minute memory shattered his beliefs in her.

Getting angry Remus for the first time in his life lost his temper.

"DAMN HER, DAMN DUMBLEDORE, DAMN IT ALL, DAMN IT MOLLY WEASLEY!" he yelled at the top of his lungs.

The room was quite once again for a long time the three just sat there, pondering what to do next. Nearing late afternoon Sirius broke the silence.

"I think we need to tell Arthur, Harry he deserves to know." Sirius said simply.

Harry nodded, got up walked over to a small desk and produced ink, quill and parchment.

He quickly scrawled a quick note telling Arthur that they needed to see him as soon as possible, and to meet them about some very important information and to come alone.

Sending the note off with Hedwig, they now only had to wait.

"Let's grab some food and think about this later" Sirius noted.

Two days later Arthur Weasley was at the ministry working, when a familiar snowy white owl dropped a note off in his lap and simply took off again.

Opening the note, he read.

Arthur,

We have come into some information that will change your life. You must meet us quickly. There are secrets being kept from us all and this information may very well be the orders downfall. Please be at the "new house" in 2 days by 8pm.

Sincerely,

Harry James Potter &

Remus J Lupin

Arthur looked at the clock on his wall, he'd told Molly he'd be late tonight anyhow, it was nearing seven-thirty. If it was that important that it be quick, he walked to his fireplace in his office, tossed a small amount of floo powder in and spoke clearly "Potter Castle".

A few hours later, a sobbing Arthur Weasley hands covering his eyes, didn't know what to think. He'd just been informed that his wife of so many good years was the world's greatest enemy's sister.

"Arthur, you know Harry wouldn't lie about anything, especially something like this" Remus spoke gently.

Nodding his head, he picked up his mug of tea and sipped on it tears falling into the cup.

"What am I going to do? Where will I take the kids, I can't allow them to stay with her, but if I take them where will we go?" Arthur asked with deep regret in his voice, a tone of a man that just had his whole world shattered.

Harry was the first to speak up "Ginny can stay here as can anyone else Mr. Weasley, I have the room and would be happy to have you. The grounds here have protections even better than Hogwarts; no one with darkness in their soul can even come onto the property. So you would be safe here."

"Thank you, Harry. I think this may be the best place then, I will gather everyone tonight if that's not too soon for you" Mr. Weasley spoke still hurt, however a note of determination for his children's welfare in his voice.

Just over two hours later Arthur Weasley was at home packing bags, while a crying Molly Weasley was in the kitchen. "Why are you doing this Arthur? Why are you leaving?" she cried out.

Determined to keep up appearances, Arthur said simply "I've been assigned a mission Molly, and I can't say no, Ginny's staying with Harry still and Ron's going as well"

"But why can't I stay with the kids? Why do I have to stay behind?" she whimpered.

"Dumbledore won't allow the order to invade Harry's home. That includes us Molly" he replied.

"Now, I'm not sure when I'll be back, I've been told this is going to be a long mission and I won't be able to communicate, it might give us away." Arthur quickly noted.

"Ron, get down here, we need to go" Arthur yelled up the stairs.

"Ok, ok, hold your broomstick dad" Ron came bounding down the stairs, his trunk in tow.

Molly quickly rose to give her husband and son a proper goodbye, she hugged Ron so tightly that he nearly passed out, however when she tried to kiss her husband he seemed to hold back like he was hiding something.

After breaking the embrace, Arthur said "We must be off dear, I'll see you soon".

Walking out the front door, and just down the road to call Harry's personal carriage

that had been arranged for them as the floo for traveling to the castle was now blocked other than fire talk, Arthur broke the silence "Son, I need to tell you something, and it's not easy to say, as our life's have just been turned upside down tonight. We will no be going back home again, that is the last time we will see your mother. This evening I learned some interesting information that has torn my heart out, and left us in the cold.

If it wasn't for Harry's generosity we would have no place to go" Arthur spoke looking directly into his son's eyes. No look of horror, no tears, Ron just sat intently listening to his father.

Arthur continued "Ron, your mother, erm, Ohh damn it, your mother is Voldemort's sister, and she is part of his followers." He said finally.

Moments passed, no emotion showed on Ron's face. Until about 10 minutes later Ron spoke. "Yes, father I know, uncle has been teaching me of lately, I'm surprised that you didn't figure it out by now, but be that as it may I'm going back to mother, I won't kill you now, but you will either join us father or parish with the rest of the mud bloods."

And with a pop Ron was gone, Arthur sat there a look of horror on his face, his son knew, but the other boy's had already gone to Harry's, even Percy of which he'd recently found out was a spy for the order in the Ministry.

Arthur cycled what recently transpired, he'd lost his wife and youngest son. His whole marriage had been a farce. His wife had been giving the enemy the orders secrets for how long?

The entire ride to the Potter Castle was to say heartbreaking at the very least for Arthur. All he had left was his remaining children.

That evening Arthur recounted what had happened to the rest of the Order, which had now gathered at Potter Castle, as it was decided that Number 12 was no longer secure due to recent events.

"You mean to tell us that Ron knew all this time?" Kingsley asked in an irritated voice.

As the meeting went on, everyone noticed that Harry was sitting at the head table, his fists clutched tightly with tears running down his face, in pure anger and sadness.

Once the meeting grew to a close and everyone left, the Tonk's had a quick thought to on how to help Harry, Hermione, and Ginny as they had all just had their hearts torn out with the recent news of Ron.

Just after everyone had gone to bed, Tonk's put her plan into action, she knew without a doubt that she loved Harry for all he was, not the boy-who-lived, but for just Harry.

She also knew from her many discussions with Hermione and Ginny of what they felt for Harry. Hermione had a puppy love for him, similar to what Tonk's herself felt for him; however it was Ginny that she was worried about.

Ginny's once crush on Harry had turned into an all out battle for his attention, Tonk's couldn't make out exactly what the young redheaded girl had for Harry, she knew that the girl loved him, but what kind of love was it?

Tonight she would find out, the plan was easy, she was secure enough with herself to put it into motion. The plan would be a healing moment as well as a fact-finding plan.

She would call everyone into Harry's room, once the house was quiet, she would then walk over to Harry and kiss him, that kiss would tell her if it was meant to be or not, she would then ask each of the other girls to do the same, regardless of the result though she and the girls were going to spend the night with Harry, if nothing else to give each of them comfort.

It was eleven pm the house had gone quiet, Tonk's rose from her bed, and put on her dressing gown, and walked out of her room. She lightly opened each of the girl's rooms and woke them and asked them to follow her.

At the end of the hall she explained that they all needed to be together that night then opened Harry's door to spy him sleeping restlessly trashing in his sheets, looking to be having a nightmare.

"Harry, Harry?" Tonk's nudged him gently to wake him.

Slowly Harry woke to the sight of three angles standing before him.

"Am I dead?" He asked still half asleep.

The girls all chuckled at the comment.

"No, Harry you're not dead, I just figured we needed a night all together after what happened today. We miss sleeping near you." Tonk's quietly spoke.

Harry not expecting anything like this nodded his head and in a whisper said "Ok" as he maneuvered himself over to make room for the girls.

Shaking slightly all three girls climbed into bed and sat cross-legged facing him.

Small talk about the days events preceded between them all for just over an hour, nearing midnight, Tonk's decided that it was time to put the plan into action as it seemed everyone was much calmer from having each near them.

She slowly moved cat like in a prowl to Harry, and without any warning drew him into the most passionate kiss imaginable.

Hermione, looked in shock at what Tonk's had just done, they all had made a pact to not voice their feelings openly with Harry until the spell was no longer needed.

Ginny, looked at the older woman, in horror, she had just betrayed her by up and snogging the man she loved, without a warning or notice.

Tonk's broke the kiss; Harry's mind was far beyond reach for comprehension at that point. Looking toward the other two girls, she noted that they were NOT happy, to say the least.

Before the two girls could speak she broke in "I know that you're angry right now but before either of you do anything rash, please let me explain. I planned tonight after hearing the news, thinking that we all needed some "healing" and I personally also wanted to find out what was real." Tonk's finished.

Comprehension dawned over Hermione, 'She wants to help Harry by showing him her true feelings, and she wants to know if it's real or not. I need that too.' she spoke to Ginny.

Ginny nodded, still a bit hacked off, but now understanding what was to be done.

Hermione, moved to Harry and as Tonk's had, planted a passionate kiss upon him, letting him know that she loved him.

Harry was dumbfounded, he'd never been shown affection like this. Yet barriers within his heart started falling.

Ginny was last, she timidly crawled into Harry's arms, and drew his lips to hers, giving him all her love with the kiss to show him what he meant to her. To show him he wasn't alone.

Once Ginny had broken her kiss, the three girls, sat back down pondering their own thoughts.

"God, I felt him, his heart, his love it just started pouring out" Tonk's thought to herself.

"I know I need him, but will he have me?" Hermione thought

"He's the one, I will marry him" Ginny thought.

Without knowing each others thoughts, Harry was then attacked by three love struck girls. No words were needed; they each had verified their love for him and from him to them.

Clothes were shed, furniture was broken, and the three girls all made love for the first time to the man each of them loved. It was the first time for two of the girl's that night, and they couldn't have asked for a better way to give their "gift" to the man they loved. That night a child was conceived, only no one knew at the time that the child's mother wouldn't live to see it grow up.
