Faeriepuck-Thanks so much for the wonderful review!  That was the nicest thing anyone has ever said about my writing.  So, I'm posting more tonight special for you:D  And, I just wrote chapter 29, so I can't go back and make them longer, but I will try and post more often.  I am just really lazy and it's a bit of a pain to post them here.

OK.  Here it is people... please review.  thanks oodles and oodles!

Chapter 11

Harry didn't come down from Buckbeak's room until Mrs. Weasley yelled up the stairs for everyone to come down to lunch. When he made his way down, he looked like he'd been crying. "Harry, dear, is there something the matter?" Mrs. Weasley asked gently.

"I just feel so alone! Everyone else has someone to love and to take care of, but who do I have?"

"Ah, Harry, don't talk like that! Every single one of us loves you and how many times have you had to take care of all of us?" It was Ron that spoke this time.

Mrs. Weasley added, "Harry, last night at the meeting for the Order, Professor Dumbledore read Sirius's will. He left you Grimmauld Place; Harry and he also made Remus Lupin your legal guardian, when you are away from your aunt and uncle's house. If it's ok with you, we will be keeping this place as the headquarters for the Order. It is completely up to you, but as you will be out of school in 2 years we felt that it might be something you would like to continue. Sirius said it was his wish." She looked up into his eyes because she had been studying a burn mark on the table while she spoke.

"Ok. That's fine. I really don't want to talk about this right now." Harry got up and left the room. Ron went to follow, but Hermione grabbed his hand and pulled him back down.

"What did you do that for, 'Mione?" At this Mrs. Weasley raised an eyebrow. She had never heard Ron call Hermione by anything other than her given name.

"Harry needs to sort through some things on his own, Ron. The last thing he needs right now is you bugging him."

The rest of lunch was spent in relative silence. After the dishes were cleared away, Narcissa announced that they were going to go to Diagon Alley tomorrow. Everyone was excited about this news because Grimmauld Place was a little boring. Some fresh air would do them good.

"Ginny pulled Draco aside and said, "I can't wait until tomorrow. We can go off on our own for the whole day! I do want to show you Fred and George's shop, though."

"Do they know I'm here now? I'm a little worried about what they might try and do to me."

Ginny laughed and said "Don't be silly. They're really rather harmless. I'll send them an owl tonight and let them know what's going on." He still looked a little nervous. "Don't worry, I promise it will be fine." He didn't want to believe her until she kissed him. How could he not believe someone this wonderful?

Mrs. Weasley went upstairs to find Harry. She wanted to let him know about the rest of the will. "Harry, dear, can I come in?" She knocked lightly on the door. Harry got up and opened it but didn't say anything.

"Sirius also had some other things in his will that you should know about." Mrs. Weasley continued without stopping. "Harry, he had a lot of money and he wanted to be generous with what he had. Since you had already inherited a small fortune from your parents, Sirius was kind enough to leave half of his money to Arthur and me and the other half went to Remus."

"Oh, Mrs. Weasley, that's wonderful. I'm really glad for you. You have always been so kind to me and treated me like a son even after I gave the twins the money to start their Joke Shop. Er, Ron did tell you about that didn't he?" Harry hoped he hadn't gotten himself into trouble.

"Yes, Harry, I know all about it. Thank you for finally telling me yourself though. It was a relief to know they weren't selling stolen goods, let me tell you. I am very proud of your generosity and I know Sirius admired you greatly for that as well." Harry suddenly flung himself on her shoulder and started crying hysterically. "There, there, let it all out. That's a good lad." Mrs. Weasley patted his arm in a very motherly sort of way.

Harry didn't even feel embarrassed crying in front of Mrs. Weasley. He knew for a fact that she was the closest thing to a mother he would ever have.

After a few more minutes of this, Mrs. Weasley told Harry about the trip to Diagon Alley tomorrow. Harry's mood improved after this because he wanted to see just what the twins were able to do with the Tri-wizard cup earnings. Fred and George really were geniuses in Harry's eyes.

Dinner that evening was much livelier than lunch had been. Lupin showed up, as did several other members of the Order. Draco got introduced to everyone and they all laughed when Moody came in. Draco nearly fell off his chair. He didn't know that the Moody that was here wasn't the same wizard who had turned him into a ferret 2 years ago. Ginny whispered in his ear about the polyjuice potion. Draco relaxed a bit and even carried on a decent conversation with the "real" Alastor Moody.

Soon it was time to head back upstairs for bed. Draco pulled Ginny aside and said, "I can't wait until tomorrow to be alone with you. After everyone goes to bed, let's sneak down to the sitting room. We can continue where we left off earlier. If you want, I mean. I don't want to pressure you at all."

Ginny gave him an appraising look and he was sure she'd say no, so he was definitely thrilled to hear her response. "I'd love to. But, we have to be careful not to get caught. I'll meet you there at 1:30."

Draco gave Ginny a huge smile and a quick kiss on the cheek. Then he hurried up the stairs into the boy's room. Ginny came up the stairs a minute behind him but continued up to the girls' room. Hermione was already in bed so Ginny changed as quietly as she could and tried her best not to disturb Hermione. She lay there for hours watching the clock and listening for the house to quiet down for the night. When she heard no more noise, she grabbed a blanket and made her way downstairs. She lay down on the couch to wait for Draco and dozed off.

At 1:25 Draco made his way across the boys room to the door. He crept out onto the landing and listened, but heard nothing. So he made his way downstairs as well. When he came into the room and saw Ginny sleeping so peacefully, he couldn't bear to wake her. He watched her sleep as the moonlight danced across her face and her hair shone copper. Ginny said his name. She was talking in her sleep. Draco chuckled softly and wondered what exactly that cute little redhead could be dreaming about.

Draco gave her a soft kiss on the lips then turned around and went back up to bed. He'd have to wait until tomorrow after all.
