His statement caused the adults in the room to look at him with bewildered looks on their faces.
Bill spoke for everyone when he asked, "What do you mean? How would they have gotten there on their own?"
Dumbledore took a seat, "At this point, I am not entirely sure." He looked towards Jamie and Georgia who were standing between Harry and Hermione, "Could you two tell me what happened to send you to Hogwarts?"
Jamie looked at him a little apprehensive, "Yes, sir. Um, we were all waiting for my Dad or someone to come and tell us anything about Jason. And then Uncle Ron came in with Jason. We were really excited to see them. And Jason was super happy to be safe, I think he had been really scared. Anyway, he picked up Uncle Ron's wand and --"
Georgia interrupted, "Then crazy things started to happen. The windows broke. And the sofa like blew up or something! Then there was a big flash of light and the next thing I knew we were at Hogwarts, which was really great because I have always wanted to see it." She said all of this very quickly.
Dumbledore pondered the two girls' words for a moment, "I'm not entirely sure but I think Jason sent them."
"What? How could he have done that?" Harry questioned.
"Well, I think his strong emotion at the time, combined with the fact that he comes from two very powerful wizarding families and grabbing a wand may have caused his magic to, shall I say, explode. Now as to why the girls showed up at Hogwarts, I've not figured that out quite yet."
"Why didn't we all go to the same place? I mean I ended up at The Burrow," Molly asked. "And where is everyone else?"
Suddenly, Dumbledore looked at Molly, "Where you like to be more than anywhere else in the world?"
"What? I don't know, I guess at home, not worrying about anyone."
He nodded, "And Georgia, you said that you had always wanted to see Hogwarts. Would you say that it was the place you would most like to go to?"
"Yeah, I guess."
"How about the rest of you girls? Did you want to go to Hogwarts more than anywhere else?"
All four girls nodded. "Yeah, mum and dad always tell us how much fun it was," Danny exclaimed.
"Well, that explains it."
"Explains what," George questioned.
"Everyone was sent to the place they most want to be. We just need to figure out where those places are. Oh, and I'm not entirely sure but I think Ron and Jason will be together since Jason had Ron's wand. Unfortunately, I'm not sure whose place they will have gone to. We'll have to check both, I suppose," Dumbledore explained. "We should just be relieved he was happy and not scared or angry. Who knows where everyone would have ended up then."
"Okay," George nodded in understanding. "Well, where would dad go? Any ideas?"
"Knowing your father, probably somewhere with crazy Muggle goods," Molly rolled her eyes slightly. "I guess I'll go look for him," she told them.
"I'll help you, mum," George told her. He decided with Molly who would look where and the two of them quickly left.
Bill looked at those remaining in the room, "Any ideas where Ginny would go?"
"I think I know," Harry quietly told them.
"Okay, why don't you look for her and we will start looking for Ron and Jason. We can check places we think Ron would go and if we don't find them before you get back, you can help us check some places Jason would go," Hermione suggested.
"Alright," Harry agreed. "I'll meet you guys back here in an hour."
He crossed his fingers that he was right and aparated out of Bill's office. When he arrived at his destination, he took a moment to gaze around him. The moon was bright and reflected off the water. Waves gently lapped at the shore. A soft breeze carried the scent of seawater and tropical flowers.
Further down the beach, he saw the moonlight reflecting off of her fiery hair. She was leaning against a large rock with her arms wrapped around her knees staring out over the water. Silently, he made his way to her. When he was next to her, he sat down.
"Hi, Harry," she said without looking at him.
"How'd you know it was me?"
"I always know when you're near. I smelled you."
"Are you saying I stink?"
"No," she laughed. "It's one of my favorite smells in the world. It's hard to explain but its you. When you first were gone, I would sleep with one of your shirts so I could smell you."
He put his arm around her shoulder and pulled her close. His chin rested on the top of her head.
"I'm not sure how I got here, but I'm glad I am. How did you know I was here?"
"Dumbledore figured out that Jason accidently sent everyone to the place they most wanted to be. I guessed you would be here because this is where I would most want to be," he kissed her hair. "We had a great time here, didn't we? It was one week when we didn't have to worry about anything else."
"Yeah," she turned slightly to look up into his eyes. "Harry, will you answer a question for me?"
"Anything."
"Did you love Jason's mother?"
"Wow, that's an interesting question," he sighed. "I loved her as a dear friend but not in the passionate way I love you. I think a part of me will always love her because she gave me Jason. But we only knew each other for a couple of years. We were friends and thanks to some grief and a lot of alcohol, she got pregnant with Jase. I thought I had to marry her, for the baby's sake. And I was lonely. She died when Jason was about a year old." He entwined the fingers of one hand with Ginny's. "I found out earlier from Lori that Megan kept a lot from me," he paused for a second. "She was witch."
"What? She never told you?"
"No, she was Lori's partner in the WPA and they were assigned to keep an eye on me. She couldn't tell me."
For several minutes they sat in silence and held each other. Finally Ginny broke the silence, "Harry?"
"Yeah."
"I want you to know that I'm okay with Jason. I wasn't sure I really was until tonight when he was missing," she told him. "I also understand that you only left to protect us. Dumbledore came by earlier when you were with Lori and we had a long talk."
Gently, he kissed her with tears in both of their eyes, "I love you."
"I love you, too."
