Chapter 8 : Pensive full of Memory's

Enjoy!

Harry woke up as if someone had just shaken him and yelled in his ear. Turning over in his bed while grabbing his wand he immediately made light leak out its tip. He saw Ron's startled look and Harry laughed. Ron shook his head from side to side.

"Never again...will...she...put...another... waking charm on me!" said Ron sounding a bit grumpy.

"Why? All it did was shake you and yell in your ear" Harry looked at Ron's face in his wand's light curiously.

Ron shook his head again. "Not me, the charm made me think there were spiders all over me!" Ron looked rather angry, but Harry laughed anyway. "What so funny?" Ron was getting red in the face

"You and your spiders" Harry shook his head "Come on" Harry having slept in his clothes waited for Ron to re-dress himself.

"The invisibility cloak or apparition, you think?" asked Ron

"Apparition would be quicker" replied Harry. He hated the feeling, but even he had to admit he was getting used to it, just like Dumbledore had said. Harry stood up and after putting his shoes back on, he shoved his cloak back into his pocket and Dumbledore's frame into the other.

"Ready?" Harry nodded then took a step and apparated down to Ginny's room, silently praying that Hermione was covered up! Ron appeared by his side a few seconds later. They found both girls still in bed, but with watery tired eyes staring at the ceiling. Harry flicked his wand at the door, placing silencing and locking charms on it.

"Hey Ginny" Harry walked over to her bed, leaned down and kissed her lips. He started to pull away when Ginny's hands slipped around him and pulled him back down to her. Ginny's lips were amazing to Harry and he was mesmerised by her kiss.

"Hey! I don't want to see my best mate snogging my sister," said Ron disgustedly. Ginny giggled and Harry smiled. Hermione looked as if she wanted to get on with this and quick!

"Harry, I wrote a letter to Mr. and Mrs. Weasley just in case they look in on us and found us missing, so that they won't worry" said Hermione.

"Okay" said Harry, truly glad that Hermione had thought of this. He didn't want to cause more strife then what was necessary. "I do want to warn all of you that these memories that you'll be seeing have to do with Tom Marvolo Riddle. You'll be seeing him turn slightly towards being Voldemort, though you won't actually see Voldemort as he is today." Harry said wanting to make sure everyone knew what they were getting themselves into. Ginny nodded, followed by Hermione and Ron. "Then" said Harry "I'll be showing you my talks with Dumbledore, after every memory, so you can hear it straight from him about what he thought and felt. Maybe someone can pick up on something that Dumbledore and I overlooked. Now we don't know where three are"

"You mean we don't know where all four are, right Harry?" Hermione said sitting up in her bed, and Ron sat down next to her

"No, I have a lead as to where to find a locket that might just be the Slythrine locket that we're looking for" said Harry silently thanking that Dumbledore's portrait could still talk to him.

"Harry that's great!" said Ron in awe.

"Yeah, but where is it?" asked Hermione

"Grimmauld Place" said Harry and felt himself tense at the thought of just having to go back there. Even if it was to kill Voldemort. Ginny sat up beside him. Harry put his arm around her and brought her closer, placing a kiss on the top of her head. Hermione beamed at them and Ron looked half disgusted, yet half amused.

"Grimmauld Place" said Ginny sounding concerned.

"Yeah remember the locket we found while cleaning and we all tried to open it, but couldn't!" said Harry

"Oh" said Ginny; realisation dawned on her face making it glow. Her mouth became an 'o' shape and Harry leaned down and kissed her, she melted into his kiss. Harry smiled at her. She grinned back.

"The worst thing you'll see is the cave Dumbledore and I went to… and ending in his death" Finished Harry with a lower voice than what he began with. "I will understand if anyone does not want to go into the pensieve."

"I'll be there," said Ginny without hesitation at which Harry smiled at and kissed her again. Having Ginny beside him meant the world to him.

"We'll be there too mate," said Ron confidently, and Hermione nodded her head in agreement.

"Okay, now I brought down Dumbledore's book, maybe it will help..." Harry stopped talking as he felt a heat growing in his pocket

"What's the matter Harry?" asked Hermione. Harry put his hand in his pocket and pulled out the source of the heat. It was Dumbledore's picture frame.

"What's that?" Ron asked

"Dumbledore's frame, I think he wants to talk," said Harry. Ron and Hermione flew over to Ginny's bed and kneeled behind them, peering into the trinket that was still closed in Harry's hands. Harry opened the frame cautiously. But found Dumbledore smiling up at them. Harry heard Hermione gasp over Ginny's shoulder. "Professor Dumbledore" said Harry in greeting his old Headmaster.

"Harry, and I see your friends are here too" said Dumbledore smiling merrily up at them.

"Hello Professor" said Hermione still sounding shocked.

"Hey" said Ron.

"Hello Miss Weasley, I see you have been entered in on our little secret. I trust by now you know what it entails of you?" said Dumbledore's frame looking at Ginny.

"Yes sir." replied Ginny. Her tone was of solitude and firmness.

"Good, I trust Harry, and he would not tell anyone who would endanger this mission." Dumbledore smiled at the four of them again. Harry smiled back. "Now about the pensieve, I gave you".

"Yeah" said Harry "How can I show them what you showed me?"

"It's quite simple. Once you have visualised the memory in question, they can then enter into it," said Dumbledore. Harry nodded his head in understanding "So all you have to do Harry, is think of the memory, put your wand to your temple and with the correct incantation, you will be able to add it to the pensieve."

"What is the incantation Professor?" asked Harry

"Memoryous Extractundus " said Dumbledore simply.

"That's all?" said Harry feeling rather relived. "That's simple"

"It is non-verbal," said Dumbledore. Harry's heart felt like it had stopped beating, then restarted itself by beating harder and faster. "You can do it Harry, I have faith in you" Harry nodded his head at hearing Dumbledore's encouragement.

"Okay, is that all we have to do, to view the memories?" said Harry.

Dumbledore bowed his head "We'll talk again soon Harry, until then, stay safe everyone"

"Professor?" Harry stopped him from leaving. He looked back up at Harry "I just wanted to say thanks for the pensieve, the book and what's in he box, the house and the...err...well, the gold" Harry felt Ron tense against his back as he was still peering over his shoulder to look at Dumbledore.

"My gifts to you Harry. The pensieve so you may share with those you trust," he bowed his head at the three surrounding Harry. "The book, to explain some spells and potions I have found useful with slight illustrations. The box holds many things, I assume you might need, to help you on your mission. The piece of land and house is in Godric's Hollow, it belonged to you already." Though Dumbledore said this simply enough, his blue eyes were twinkling. Harry sat in shock. His parents house, the house where his parents died, the house where it all started. Harry suddenly couldn't wait to get there. "Good Luck Harry" Dumbledore bowed his head once more and walked out of the frame, leaving Harry speechless.

Harry closed the trinket, stood up and placed it into his pocket again. Not looking at those around him, Harry walked to where the pensieve sat on Ginny's nightstand. Harry thought back to the first memory. It was of a wizard named Ogden who had travelled to the small run down house belonging to the Gaunt's.

Harry thought hard on the memory, his face screwed up in concentration, placed his wand to his temple, and thought hard on the incantation, "Memoryous Extractundus". He felt the memory leaving his mind, and as he pulled his wand away from his face he saw the silvery string hanging on the end of his wand.

"Wicked" said Ron clearly awed. Harry ignored him and placed the memory into the strange substance and prodded it with his wand. He didn't know why he did that, he just remembered Professor Dumbledore doing it, then Professor McGonagall.

"Okay, Ready? After you guys" Harry said stepping to the side. Hermione came forward.

"What do we do Harry?"

Harry remembered they had never travelled into a pensieve before. "You take a breath and put your face into it, it will pull you in, like a port key."

She nodded and breathed in deep then plunged her head into it, then she was gone. Ron looked slightly horrified. Ginny came up next. She smiled, traced her hand over his cheek, winked, took a breath and was enveloped by the power of the pensieve. Ron stepped up looking nervous. "I trust you Harry" and dived into the pensieve. Harry made sure Hermione had indeed left the note for the Weasleys and taking his own breath followed them all into the pensieve.

Harry led the way coming right up behind Ogden. Ron had found his clothes funny and was having trouble keeping up because he was laughing so hard. Hermione kept sending looks at him as if to say 'This isn't the time or place, Ronald!' Ginny was walking right beside him, Harry felt comforted with her at his side.

When Morfin started talking in Parseltongue, Harry had to translate so that the others could understand what was being said.

"That is Merope Gaunt, Voldemort's mother." Harry said pointing to the only women in the small shack. Harry watched again as Mr. Gaunt taunted Merope about the cooking pot, and when Mr. Gaunt showed Ogden his ring. Harry said, "That's the ring Dumbledore found and destroyed. That's the number two Horcrux."

Hermione and Ginny gasped in shock and disgust as Mr. Gaunt pulled Merope towards Ogden to show him the Locket of Salazar Slythrin. "That's Horcrux number three" said Harry as he watched Ogden trying to calm Mr. Gaunt so that he didn't hurt Merope. Harry was torn when he saw this memory the first time, but now he wanted Mr. Gaunt to kill Merope. "It would have stopped him, before anything ever happened."

A clanging noise was heard from outside, bringing Harry back to the memory. Mr. Gaunt was learning that his pureblood daughter fancied a muggle. Tom Riddle.

"Voldemort's father" said Harry to clarify things. Mr. Gaunt's hands went around Merope's throat and Harry watched as Ogden shouted Relashio, Mr. Gaunt was thrown back.
Harry, Ginny, Hermione and Ron followed Ogden out of the house and back onto the road
"Alright everyone hold hands with each other" said Harry and watched as Ron took Hermione's hand, both blushing at having to, but Hermione looked somewhat proud. Hermione smiling took Ginny's hand and Harry took her other, and tugged. The next moment they landed back in Ginny's room, Ron had fallen. But got to his feet with ears turning pink rapidly.

"The ring Dumbledore got and the Locket that I think is at Grimmauld Place" said Harry.
Hermione let go of Ron's hand, blushed scarlet and walked over to the desk where a Quill and scroll of parchment was waiting. Harry assumed she was taking notes. He didn't think this was a good idea, but didn't argue the fact either because this was how Hermione worked. This was after all how she found things that no one else could.

After she was done writing, she turned back to them all. "Okay next memory, please"

"This one is shorter, it is of Dumbledore and me talking after that memory." Harry said.
He turned back to the pensieve, concentrated on the memory, thought of the incantation and pulled it out of his head, placing it in the pensieve and prodding it with his wand. Turning to the three behind him, he nodded. Ginny was first this time, and then Hermione and Ron who still looked a little scared. Harry landed behind them, to see Hermione picking herself up off the floor, with Ron's hand in hers.

Harry felt weird as he watched himself talk with Dumbledore in his office; subconsciously he reached up and tried to flatten his hair. Ginny laughed and he grinned at her. Harry saw himself throw around ideas of Love potions, and figure out how Merope Gaunt got Tom Riddle to marry her, and get her pregnant. Then the conversation turned to Mr. Gaunt's return from Azkaban to find the house dirty and empty. Merope gone.

He then watched as he asked Dumbledore's permission to tell Ron and Hermione. He looked over at them still holding hands and saw that Ron's face looked frivolous, and Hermione beamed. As the 'memory Harry' asked Dumbledore how he hurt his hand he told Ginny and Hermione to hold hands. He then grabbed Ginny's other hand and tugged them all out into Ginny's room again.

Ginny slightly fell into Harry, though he wasn't sure if it was by accident or not. Harry smiled at her and kissed her lips. Hermione let go of Ron's hand and walked over to the desk muttering an incantation and the scroll appeared out of nowhere. A few minutes later she turned to them all

"Daylight is going to be breaking soon Harry, maybe we should call it a night, and tomorrow sneak away to view some more?"

"Yeah, sorry mate, but I'm a little tired, and hungry." said Ron

Harry agreed and as Ron and Hermione stepped out into the hallway. Ron was going to walk upstairs instead of apparating. He turned all his attention on Ginny, who was giving him a weak smile.

"You've got a lot on your shoulders, don't you?" she said.

"I think that is the understatement of the year," said Harry. Ginny smiled more broadly and Harry pulled her by the waist into his arms. They stood there a few moments kissing and teasing each other until Hermione knocked softly at the door. "You're right," said Harry as he pulled slightly away from Ginny.

"I am?" asked Ginny puzzled.

"We definitely need to talk to Hermione about her timing!" Ginny laughed and Harry kissed her again, and only when Hermione knocked a little louder did Harry groan and apparate back up to Ron's room. He fell asleep feeling some weight come off his shoulders. His best friends and Ginny were now helping supporting it. Harry smiled in his sleep and the thought of his girlfriend "Ginny" was the last word he spoke into his pillow.

"Harry… Mum wants to know if you want lunch?"

"Whatzgoinon?" Harry mumbled

"Harry wake up, you're going to miss lunch!" Harry opened his eyes and found a blurred image of Ron standing by his bed. Harry reached for his glasses and put them on.

"What time is it?" he asked still groggy.

"It's already afternoon mate, mum let you sleep. She had me weeding the garden!" Ron said with a scowl, which brightened up immediately as he said "but Hermione helped me!"

Harry smiled "Did you tell her yet?"

Ron's smile totally vanished. His eyes went to the floor. "Harry you just can't spring something like that on someone" He said sounding serious.

Harry laughed "Ron this is Hermione, take her outside away from everyone and admit how you feel, see if she feels the same way!"

"I can't do that Harry!" said Ron

"Why not?"

"She still writes to him!" Ron's voice was barely above a whisper but held a lining of jealousy

"How do you know?" Ron shrugged his shoulders.

"Harry you're up!" Ginny came bounding into Ron's room and lay down next to Harry who opened his arms to her immediately and snuggled her closer. She placed her head on his bare chest; Harry felt the monster inside purr in contempt.

"What's up Ron?" asked Ginny as she noticed Ron's glum expression which got another shrug. "I think I know already...It's about Hermione!" she added a knowing quirk in her tone.
Ron looked at Ginny in mute surprise and horror.

"What do you know?" asked Harry smiling into Ginny's hair 'Merlin she smell's good!'

"I can't say, I promised I wouldn't, but a little sisterly advice" said Ginny with a taunting voice at Ron who looked hopeful. "Tell her, I can't say what she will do, but trust me, tell her!" Ginny smiled into Harry's chest as she wiggled closer. She felt so right in his arms. Ron looked at Ginny as though truly seeing her; he held a dazed look on his face.

"Maybe I will, but I think I'll eat first" said Ron and hastily walked out of the room. Harry heard him walk downstairs, before Ginny lifted her head and smiled at Harry

Lifting her up to where she was practically lying on top him. Harry kissed her deeply. Ginny responded quickly and had her hands running over his chest and down to the waist pants of his boxers. Harry groaned wanting her to go further, but a small voice was telling him that there was a reason they should stop.

Harry kissed down the side of her neck. Ginny made a small noise in the back of her throat. Ginny moved and straddled him. Though she had on short shorts and a sleeping shirt. Harry thought it was the most erotic feeling in the world. Her legs were in plain view and Harry ran his hands up them and found them to be smooth and silky. He then rested his hands on her hips. Ginny smiled and kissed him with meaning and Harry understood it perfectly, he didn't know how, he just did. Harry wished that the small voice would shut up!

"Ginny" Harry croaked.

"Mm" Ginny was kissing the hollow of his neck.

"Ginny, you're killing me!" Harry croaked with amusement. Ginny smiled lovingly at him and Harry raised to kiss her. But pulled back quickly when he felt Ginny trying to deepen it.

"One day Ginny, but not why your mum's downstairs and certainly not in your brother's room at the Burrow" Harry smiled and Ginny pouted, but smiled and kissed him anyway. She laughed when she heard his stomach growl.

"I believe you need food, Mr Potter"

"I think you're right Miss Weasley". Ginny looked tempted to say something else and Harry thought he might have known what it was about. Ginny got off him, leaned back over and kissed him then went to go get dressed. Harry headed for another cold shower. ' That woman is going to be the death of me! So why am I worried about Voldemort?' Harry couldn't believe he was actually amused at the thought of Voldemort. What was the matter with him?
