Chapter 17
Animagus Anonymous
Enjoy!
"So what went on in Diagon Alley, Harry? Hermione asked. Harry and Ginny never got around to telling them all about Diagon Ally, and about his extra surprise vault's.He and Ginny quickly filled them in,but as the four now sat in Ron's bedroom, Harry in front of one of the trunks that he knew his parent's left for him. Inside were a few books, potion's of different color's and a diary which was written by the Marauders.
"Well, I added Ginny to my vault's, so she can get in there, just in case" said Harry nonchalantly
"AND he didn't tell me about it till it was already done" added Ginny sending a glare at Harry, who smiled back and he saw the corner's of her mouth twitch before she looked away. She was reading Dumbledore's book, sitting on Harry's bed against the headboard, Hermione was reading some of the books they had found in Grimmauld Place, while Ron was just sitting behind Hermione playing with her hair. Each were immersed in their own thought's but still curiosity wore thin and Harry knew that Hermione wouldn't let it go, till she thought she knew everything.
"I also had my will made out to" said Harry barley above a whisper
"WHAT?" three voice's yelled at the same time.
"HARRY JAMES POTTER WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?" Ginny's shout's were that of her mother's and Harry flinched inwardly.
"I was thinking that-"
"NO YOU WERN 'T THINKING, HARRY" Ginny stopped yelling and took a deep breath "Okay I know your facing a lot, we all are, and you more so, but Harry by doing this it's not exactly saying you wish to live"
"I want to know that if I die that everything is safe, and that my money and possessions didn't go to the ministry, or given away by witch weekly" said Harry
"Hermione, back me up...please?" said Ginny, Harry knew that what he said was right and Ginny knew it to, but unwillingly to admit as much.
"Harry's right" said Hermione
"Hermione, how can you say that? Harry's going to pull through, don't you have faith in him?" asked Ron looking down at Hermione with a stunned expression
"YES Ronald, I have just as much faith in Harry as you do, and Harry knows this don't you Harry?" Harry went to nod, but the three weren't paying him no mind " And further more, I think that maybe it was the smartest thing to have done, anything could happen, and Harry knows this, and he did what he felt was right! So who's your executioner Harry? No don't answer that, it's to personal" said Hermione holding up her hand to stop him before he could answer.
"Yeah I don't think it's right to answer that one" agreed Ron
"But Harry, how could you...it seems...like...you wanting...to..." Ginny was having a hard time and Harry knew it, he quickly stood up and walked over to her, he took a moment to look at her light form against his sheet's and put one hand under her knees, and the other around her back, he lifted her with ease. He walked out of the room ignoring the gasp coming from Hermione, and the wondering glance from Ron.
Harry walked her down all the way to her room again he kicked the door open and shut it with another small jaunt from his foot. Harry placed her on her bed and sat beside her. He read her face of wonderment, and concern.
"Harry-"
"No, Ginny listen, to me now, I had to do this, the will doesn't make anything final until I...until I am no longer here. It does not mean that I plan on ..not being here. I just want to know that all is set before anything happens, better to be prepared than rather not at all. I love you Ginny, but your going to have to face that I might not be here in the end, just like you may not, and it kills me Gin, that's why I broke up with you last year, I wanted to protect you, keep you safe, far away from the battle that were all facing, don't you understand Ginny how much I love you?" Harry asked his eyes boring into hers.
"Oh Harry, I'm sorry, it's just the thought of you not being here, is frightening, it scares me. We just found our love, and I don't want it to leave me, I'm not ready for it to be gone. For you to be gone." said Ginny tears springing to her eyes.
"Gin, our love's not going anywhere, but up. It'll just keep getting stronger than what it is right now, were going to be together, and Gin I hope I'm not going anywhere either, but just in case, I made a will leaving you executioner, followed by Ron, then Hermione, and then Bill, just to be safe." said Harry, but added quickly "But don't go killing me for my money now"
"Harry that's not funny" snapped Ginny hitting him in the arm. Harry laughed and Ginny finally smiled seeing his teasing.
"I love you Gin"
"I love you" Ginny leaned up and kissed him and Harry moved quickly to deepen it further, tilting her head back to stroke her tongue with his, she moved his on his lap and wiggled, causing Harry to moan into their kiss. His body already hardened by Ginny's movements. He knew she could tell, for she was pressing herself on him deeper, more aggressively. He could feel her inner heat through his pants. Ginny kissed down his neck, biting and sucking as she went back to his lips with a flaming kiss. Harry's last reserve was leaving him, and Harry grasped onto it.
"No, Gin, it's not right yet" Harry said breaking their kiss.
"What?" Ginny seemed a little confused
"I'm sorry Ginny, it's just not the right time, and place" said Harry not really knowing the full reason why he stopped himself. Ginny looked confused then hurt.
"Okay, Mr. Potter, have it your way." Ginny moved rigidly off him and started walking to the door. Harry could feel her resentment towards him, and understood it immediately. Harry jumped up and slammed the door shut again, as she was opening it. He turned her around and pinned her up against the back of the door, in a matter of seconds, not really caring if Ron and Hermione heard them.
"Merlin don't do this to me Gin, don't you understand?" whispered Harry in a force calmness
"I understand alright, I understand that you have no desire to...you don't want to... like that" hissed Ginny trying to push him away
"What?" Harry was more than confused now
"I played it off like you were being your noble, polite self, but maybe I'm right you don't want to make love to-" Ginny stopped talking and gasped out loud, as Harry lifted her up in the air, against the door, her legs automatically circling around his waist. His body hard and protruding against her inner thigh.
"Does it look like I don't want you Gin? Does it feel like I don't want to make love to you?" asked Harry as he stepped in closer to her his erection gaining closer to her very center. As her skirt was pushed up, her panties and his own restricted clothing, thee only thing blocking from the intrusion, of himself. His voice was still whispering and calm, but his eyes were hardened, ablaze and very much in deep controlled desire.
Ginny's eyes were wide in surprise, her mouth opened in mid gasp, but Merlin through her eyes he read it, like reading a book. She wanted him just as bad, this was what she wanted, Him! Thrusting, pushing, kissing, licking she wanted him just as much as he wanted her.
'Just do it! Make love to her show her how you feel, just unzip and push till she screams'
'No Harry, you love her, you can't hurt her like that, it's the first time, it will hurt her!'
'Hurt her, look at her, she wants you, take her, give her your all'
'It's not special enough, look around, your in her bedroom, for Marlins sake, please be reasonable!'
Harry pushed his inner voices away mentally and carefully chose his next words. "Not an hour goes by, Ginny Weasley, that I don't think about you, your eyes, your smile, your body" Harry thrust his hip's into hers and she cried out softly, making him painfully harder. His mind about to go overboard. "Not now, Gin, but soon when it will be not only special because of what we share, but because of what we went through to get there, how we made it special, understand?" Harry was whispering in her ear his voice no way near controlled as he had hoped, now. She nodded and he captured her lips in a passionate kiss that held a world of for longed promises, that would make sure, to make him regret not making love to her, hell he already was, but he loved Ginny, he would make it to that special night for her. Soon.
"We can still touch, can't we?" asked Ginny nonchalantly as her hand worked there way to his pants, at which she quickly unfastened and pushed her hands down his boxers and grasped him, making him groan in her ear.
"Yeah" grunted Harry not wanting her to stop her fingers. "Merlin she's a fast learner" he thought, but this thought came vaguely as Ginny started pushing and pulling on him, teasing him, with movements he'd never felt before.
Harry had just enough thought left to want to please her to, he pushed aside her panties and played with her nerve endings and as Harry had recently learned, a few other trick's that made Ginny moan. He pushed his finger's into her when he felt her heated wetness, as Ginny and him were matching each other's strokes. Both wondering, both needing, both wanting to know what it would be like to fill, and be filled by each other, and what each other would feel like, when they finally completed their love, and became one with each other. Both were whispering their love, and promises, as they climaxed in unison, and both had cried out each other's names. Their body's sated for the time being Harry kissed his Ginny, and moved her back down to her feet, embracing in the newly found understanding. Before heading back upstairs, to join their friends, that had become family by either blood, or through bond.
"Well, Do I even want to know what that was about?" asked Hermione looking knowingly at the couple as they entered.
"Do we even want to know what that is about?" Ginny snapped back. Pointing at Ron's middle Harry noticed that they had indeed changed position's and Ron's shirt tail was sticking out of his zipper. Harry snickered, and Ginny laughed as Hermione turned scarlet. Ron leaped out of bed turned his back and fixed his shirt. Harry saw his red ears, and knew his face matched.
"Okay, truce, we won't inquire about you, and you don't inquire about us! Deal?" said Harry smirking at his best friends
"That's a deal, mate" said Ron going back over to his bed and sitting down. His pant's being righted again.
"And let's just acknowledged that it's a deal, and not shake on it" said Ginny "I don't even want to know were either of your hands have been. Okay?
"I could say the same for you two" Ron coughed, but everyone ignored him "But we're agreed" said a blushing Hermione, now trying to hid behind her book once again. This causing Ginny and Harry to laugh, both equally thankful that they had been the one's to catch, and not be caught.
After Harry had filled them on Diagon Ally, and he now sat with the Animagus book notes, that the marauders had written. They were geniuses. Harry was in awe, as he learned that they had created a potion to drink, that would reveal to the drinker there form, whatever emotion they were feeling would be there animal self. It would change them for a few moments and then back to there normal self, from then on they would be practically on there on as there were little instructions after. All saying imagine, become one, and to clear your mind of all except the animal you became with the potion. Harry related this to the other's. Hermione snatched the book out of his hand's.
"I think we should wait to try this at Hogwarts" said Hermione immediately "Plus we'll need to brew the potion" she added looking over the ingredient list
"No need, my Dad put some in here, it say's it'll stay good for at least a hundred years or so." said Harry holding up a round bottle of light blue liquid, reading the label on the side.
"It say's we'll need to drink a pint each" said Ginny reading over Hermione's shoulder
"What do you think Harry? Want to try it?" asked Ron
"Ginny?" asked Harry with a smile
"I'm all for it, Hermione?" Ginny asked looking at the remaining friend, who was beaming defeating back at the three of them. She answered by conjuring up four golden goblet's that oddly resembled Hogwarts goblet's at the opening feast. She placed them all on the dresser and Harry divided the potion into the four glasses, perfectly.
"Look's like your Dad knew what he was doing, Harry" said Ron as he to noticed there was just enough potion for four.
"Or his Mom" said Hermione. Harry was surprised to see Ron open his mouth about to retort back, but closed it instead.
"Shall we do this then? Separately, or all together?" asked Ginny with a shocked look at Ron, then turned to Hermione for an answer
"I think separately would be best, let's just make a few changes here, just in case." She pulled her wand and expanded the room, both in height and wideness, it greatly resembled the Gryffindor common room now, without the squashy arm chairs, and the fireplace.
"Hey you think Mum would let me keep it like this?" asked Ron hopefully. Ginny snorted.
"Sorry but it'll change back within an hour or so" said Hermione with an apologetic air. Harry was shocked again, at how his two best friends were acting. Ginny seemed to be to, as she kept glancing back between them, before giving Harry a look and a shrug of her shoulder's.
"Fine" said Ron gloomily, but his face brightened back up almost immediately "Okay then, who's first?" All three head's turned to there friend.
"What? Wait? Ginny this was your idea to do this" said Hermione looking flustered.
"Hermione! Just drink up already" snapped Ginny. Hermione gave her a cross look, then glanced at the periwinkle potion in her hand.
"Fine" said Hermione in a defeated voice, as she lifted the goblet to her lips and drank it all, with only a moment's hesitation.
She coughed a little, and sat her glass back down. After a moment she opened her mouth as if to talk, but hooted instead. This shocked Harry, seeing his friend hoot, but then it dawn on him what Hermione's Animagus form was. He watched as she clasped her hands to her mouth and Harry noticed her starting to shrink in size, and height. Light brown feather's appeared on her arm's seemingly growing spontaneously from out of nowhere. Then they began to form wing's. A tail popped out of her backbend and Harry and Ginny gave a small laugh. As they saw at least six larger feather's grow. Her face was starting to change to. Her eyes grew wide and round and her nose seemed to shrink in with her mouth to form a small beak. In the end standing where Hermione had once stood sat a light brown small owl, that rivaled what Pig looked like.
Ginny and Harry lost all control as they started laughing hysterically, both clutching there side's. 'Hermione' was a small owl like Pig and the coincidence was to strong to pass up. Ron smiled at the owl and picked her up. 'Hermione' gave an indianite hoot. he started stroking her feather's, then her chest which oddly enough resembled her bushy hair. Ron's petting did not go over well, as Hermione' bit on Ron's finger rather hard, and hooted again, but still she let him pet her back again, after he had made sure he wasn't bleeding. The look on Ron's face stirred the laughter bubbling up in Harry as he clung to Ginny to keep standing. Ron seemed amazed by ' Hermione's Animagus form, and Harry had to even admit he knew she was going to be an owl from the first hoot, but he expected something like Hedwig.
'Hermione' took flight and was flying around the expanded room, when the potion wore off and she returned to her natural form in mid air, she landed with a poof, on Harry's bed, laughing. Her face was bright, and Harry reckoned that this was the happiest she had ever been. The laughing was catchy as they all slipped into tears. When they had all calmed down. Ginny spoke
"What did that feel like Hermione?"
"It felt rather...well ..good actually" she said nervously, but grinning all the same.
"Well, who's next?" asked Ron "What me?" for Harry and Ginny both turned to face him with expectant looks. It seemed whoever was the first to speak was the next to go. "Okay, Cheer's mate" said Ron lifting the cup towards Harry who smiled as he watched his mate down the potion in a few swallow's. He set the goblet beside Hermione's and started licking his lips. Ron shoot a doubtful glance at Harry. Who saw four legs sprout out of Ron's side's, Harry immediately turned to Ginny and lifted her up on Ron's bed, and climbed on top himself.
Ron's face looked horrified as he slowly started changing, his body was shrinking and his eyes turned from their normal hazel to blackened beads. His nose shrunk and disappeared, his jaw expanded forward allowing for the pincher's to protrude from his face. He landed on the floor but Harry knew he was still at least Four feet in height.
"Whoa" said Harry stepping back in the bed, as he gazed down at Ron.
All within a matter of seconds Ron had changed into his worse fear. A spider! Complete with eight legs, pincher's and he even had red hair growing on his back, clashing horribly with the blackness that was now his body. Harry pointed this out to Ginny and Hermione who was engulfed in laughter at seeing it. 'Ron' jumped and turned his black beady eyes on Hermione who sobered up immediately. 'Ron' climbed up on Harry's bed after Hermione who held a look of fear, and screamed in fright. Harry began to worry, but when he heard Hermione start laughing again, sighing in relief, along with Ginny, they realized that 'Ron' was tickling her with four of his legs. With a small pop, Ron returned to normal red hair and all, beside Hermione, he still had his hand's on her.
"Bloody hell" said Ron, in a mixed voice between aw and horror.
"Look's like your, your worst fear, Ron" said Ginny sitting on the bed, Harry sat beside her smirking at Ron's face.
"Well, look at the bright side Ron, at least we know you'll be getting over your fear of them" said Hermione smiling at Ron who gave a horrid smile in return, and cast a furtive look at Harry, who was still trying to bite back the laughter threatening to take him again.
"Well, I guess it's my turn" said Ginny. Harry nodded then stood with her when she went for her goblet of potion, She quickly drank it and placed it back on the dresser with the other two, and waited. Looking at Harry who was smiling back. He wondered what she would be, but he didn't have long to think about it as Ginny started to shrink. Her legs shortened and turned a rose madder purple, were talons jaunted out and clawed at the floor. Her petite torso became even smaller to a degree, but her height stopped at somewhere around Harry's knee's. A tail pushed out her cute bum, and Harry noticed the scarlet feathers of about twelve in count. Her chest a collogue of golden red's, her back a color of red that Harry knew was the same color of her hair. Her gorgeous face became smaller as her brown eyes, though staying brown began to set into it's new depths. Her nose and mouth joined and butting out formed a golden beak. On her head nestled between her newly added ears sat a crown of gold with ruby and sapphire's, set up against the scarlet color of her head. Harry smiled at the beautiful creature in front of him, formerly his girlfriend, but now he laid eyes upon a phoenix.
She opened her golden beak and cried a note that immediately sent calm wave's through out the expanded room. 'Ginny' took flight and Ron and Hermione, sat with awed face's and mouth's slightly opened, but Harry only spared them a glance as his eyes followed 'Ginny' around in her Animagus form. "Merlin she's even gorgeous as a bird" thought Harry as 'Ginny' came and landed on his shoulder. He transferred the weight of the phoenix to his arm, and stroked her back and tail feather's looking deep into Ginny's brown amazing eyes. His finger stroked her chest and 'Ginny' sang a beautiful note again, making Harry smile in the peace and comfort she brought with that one note. With a small pop Ginny reappeared and Harry collapsed to the floor with Ginny sprawled out on top of him, both laughing hard.
"A phoenix, Harry! I'm a phoenix!" said Ginny excitingly through her laughing.
Harry stopped laughing as the site of his girlfriends glowing face, dancing eyes, and excited feature's. She calmed down as she noticed him looking at her and leaned down to kiss him passionately, raising desire in him again, but she pulled back before he could deepen it further.
"Okay, babe, your turn" Ginny said mischievously raising an eyebrow at him. Harry grinned and laced his fingers in her hair and brought her down to meet his kiss. Ginny pulled away again as Ron started coughing wildly and Hermione laughed.
"Okay let me up" said Harry as Ginny stood up then helped him off the floor. He picked up the final glass of potion and without any hesitation drank it quickly, then replaced it on the dresser. Harry starred at Ginny who was smiling anxiously at him.
All of a sudden Harry could make out every strand of her hair, see every movement he even heard her heart pumping, his body tingled as he felt it shifting. His head grew and stretched, his ear's growing larger. The monster in his stomach growling felling free, finally. His shirt ripped off him as giant wings spanning somewhere around ten feet from what Harry could tell. His nose sank in and joined his mouth and a black beak protruded from his face. His hands hit the floor, but he found them no longer hands, they were more like a lion's, but with long talons at the ends. He noticed fur growing under his neck and on his chest, it greatly resembled a lion's mane. His torso stretching and growing light brown fur. Harry looked around as he felt his body making way for the beast to come out. He was slightly shocked to find he had a tail like a snake's, or like a dragon's. Then spike's appeared out of the end, making him remember the Hungarian Horntail in fourth year. Spikes started emerging along the line of his spin every two feet, with a particularly huge one between his shoulder's of his wing's. When Harry turned around he saw three faces beaming in aw and pride up at him, he towered over them by at least three to four feet.
Harry saw Hermione flick her wand to the wall with the window and a mirror appeared. Harry was amazed, he had wings, face, and talons like an eagle, his neck, torso, and legs resembled a lion, while his body was covered in fur, his neck in a mane, his face held black feather's and Harry saw his lightening shaped scar onhis forehead written in gold, amidst the black it stood proudly, his eyes like an eagle, but instead of yellow were a brilliantly green. Harry's eye's. He stretched his wings and flew around the now more expanding room, trying to suite his massive size. He felt free, wild, untamed. Harry knew there wasn't much time, he landed with grace next to Ginny who walked up to him and started petting his mane and feather's. Harry stood still blinking at her. He lowered his face to hers and she kissed his beak. Harry let a cry out that sounded like an eagle with a roar of a lion. Ginny smiled and trailed kisses over his face, The newly erected beast purred showing his liking for her attention. All to soon a small pop, and Harry reappeared. He quickly pulled Ginny into him and placed a loving kiss on her soft lips. Turning to Ron and Hermione who still held shocked faces, but both looked genially happy.
"A griffin, Harry" said Hermione
"A bloody griffin" confirmed Ron nodding his head in aw
"A true Gryffindor" said Ginny. Harry laughed, he felt happy about his Animagus form, about Ginny, about Ron, and Hermione, everything. This was turning into quite a memorable summer. The exact opposite of what he thought it was going to be like last year.
Later after they had talked about their forms to no end, they laid in Ron's room with contentment. The room already back to normal. Ginny picked up Dumbledore's brown leather book and started reading every few pages. Harry watched her for a few minuets, thinking of everything they had talked about, Ginny was so beautiful, and she wanted to share that with him. Ginny loved him, matched by his love for her. He found it alluring that she wanted to give him the gift of her innocence, a little to alluring. Harry pushed Ginny's innocence out of his mind for the time being and concentrated on going through his packages, near his bed.
He picked up the package his Aunt had given him, pausing momentarily he ripped at it's wrapping's. He lifted the lid off and was hit with a musty smell. Harry coughed and Ginny looked at him, she got to her knees as he sat down beside her on his bed.
"What is it?"
"I don't know look's like baby stuff, why would Aunt Petunia give me this?" Harry shared a wondering glance with Ginny before lifting some of it's thing's out. He pulled out a bottle, a plastic bag labeled 'first lock' next a blue blanket, and the stitching on one of the corner's caught his eye. It read 'HJP'
"Harry that's your baby stuff!" said Ginny peering into the box. She lifted out pictures all kinds. They were of Harry and some of his parents, some with all three of them, or with his mum and dad separately, all moving. Harry saw his mother kiss his forehead in one, and gave a small smile, in another his dad had him on a broom, grazing out in the front yard it looked like, his baby self was laughing hysterically. Ginny laughed beside him and he looked at her
"I'm sorry Harry look's like you were doomed to play Quidditch from your birth." Ginny laughed and Harry joined her. They had fun going through the box full of Harry's baby thing's and Ginny asked for a baby picture since he had so many and Harry let her have her pick. She picked one with all three of them and Harry smiled at the glow showing on her face.
"What's going on over there?" asked Ron
"Oh they come up for air" said Ginny smirking lightly Harry laughed again. Ron and Hermione had been snogging behind them.
"We could ask you the same question, mate" said Harry trying to stifle his laugh
"Harry's found a box full of his baby stuff." said Ginny
"Oh, I want to see, Harry as a baby" Hermione moved over to Harry's bed as Harry got up and stood at the end, watching the girls fondle over the picture's.
"It's kind of weird, isn't?" asked Ron coming to stand next to Harry
"You have no idea" replied Harry who was starting to feel stranger by the site of the girls.
"I mean, think about it. There fondling over you!" said Ron, and Harry groaned
"Okay we need to get through some more stuff" said Harry taking the picture's of himself and his parents and putting them carefully back into the box and sealing the lid again. Hermione looked slightly out put and Ron was snickering. Ginny sighed and lead back against the headboard looking totally at rest, reading the book of Dumbledore's again. Harry smiled, before moving the box to the side. He reached for the box Dumbledore had given him when Ginny suddenly sprang to her knees in the bed.
"Harry, here's a spell that should come in use! 'The Wrath of Merlin' if done correctly the spell sends a shock wave of blue magic to anyone standing in a proximity of twenty feet all around. It looks like it would take really powerful wizard" said Ginny looking up at Harry, who nodded back
"What the incantation?" asked Hermione trying to no avail snatch the book out of Ginny's hand's, but Ginny being a chaser was to quick for her, Harry smirked.
"The incantation is 'Manifus Magicus Emputus' " said Ginny
"Hey Harry maybe tomorrow we could talk Charlie into the garden so we could try it?" asked Ron clearly eager to try,'The Wrath of Merlin'.
"We'll need some of the order to" said Hermione, Harry nodded and sat back down with Ginny both looking at the book.
When Mrs. Weasley arrived, they were indeed quite hungry she made them some food and Ginny made some bread from a recipe she wanted to try her hand at. After lunch was well under way, and Mrs. Weasley informed them all in on some details about the wedding, at which Ron didn't hear more than three word's of it, having eating his way through halfway through the table, Harry loosing interest a third way through, how much could one man take, after all! Ginny lost attention when Mrs. Weasley began on the tent being to small, and Fleur breaking in tear's, although it was simple to fix, with a simple spell, at which Mrs. Weasley gladly preformed.
"This is good, Ginny" said Harry taking another piece of the bread Ginny made. It held a distinct flavor of sweetness and spices Harry couldn't place but it was defiantly good.
"Thanks, my prince" said Ginny kissing his cheek, he smiled again at the name.
"Your welcome my wildfire" whispered Harry
"Wildfire?" asked Ginny "Why wildfire?"
"Because you hair look's like your on fire, and your body reveals that you are on fire" Ginny blushed, Harry smiled but continued in his whispering voice "Plus your wild, not afraid to break rules, and you learn fast, just like fire, not to mention those kisses full of fire you give" said Harry making sure only she could hear him.
"You mean these?" asked Ginny leaning into him and kissing him with the fire and passion he had come to love. 'Yeah and I bet she's wild, and hot in bed to!' The monster in Harry's stomach purred and was quite talkative, 'Soon' thought Harry 'Soon!' Harry glanced at Mrs. Weasley to see her immersed in conversation with Hermione who seemed to be eager to talk.
After the late lunch Harry and Ginny cleared the table letting Mrs. Weasley take her belonging's to the room, she shared with Mr. Weasley. She returned momentarily.
"Mrs. Weasley, when will Charlie be home?" Harry asked turning his back to the sink
"Oh around dinner I should say. Why?"
"Dumbledore gave me a new spell to try, and I was wondering if he would mind taking us out into the felid across the garden to try it." said Harry seeing Mrs. Weasley's non-reaction to Dumbledore, he assumed Mr. Weasley must have told her about the golden trinket in his pocket.
"Yes, I'm sure he would, but maybe we should call on Remus and Tonks, maybe Moody to, I should think" said Mrs. Weasley thoughtfully. "Why don't you and Ginny floo over there to see if they wouldn't mind, invite them to dinner to please"
"Sure" said Ginny placing the last pieces of cutlery in the drawer. She grabbed Harry's hand and lead him to the fireplace. "We'll be back" she hollered as she threw powder into the orange flames, which made them sparkle green and together they stepped in and floo'd to Grimmauld Place.
"Mooney, Tonks, Moody! How are you?" said Harry stepping out of the fireplace, Ginny still holding his hand. The three at the table threw him shocked looks and Tonks was the first to rise from her chair, which immediately was sent crashing to the floor and broke, Mooney pulled his wand out and fixed it right again, and landing it on it's four legs. As if this was an every day occurrence "This is Tonks after all it probably is" thought Harry He hugged her one handed, then shook hands with Moony then Moody.
"What brings you Potter? First questions, you know that" growled Moody
"Of course" said Harry "What will it be this time? My first owl, the last time we seen each other? How about what Moony and I talked about on the bridge at Hogwarts? Or maybe the first time I actually met you, Moody? Maybe something simple like what color Tonk's hair was when I first met her? Or how about-"
"Okay boy! We get your point your you" growled Moody impatiently Harry smiled, as Mooney shook his head. Tonks smiled and hugged Ginny who hugged her one handed also.
"So what brings you over here Harry? Care to tell me what your planning? asked Mooney with curious look
"No" said Harry "Not yet, I'm sorry" If Mooney knew what he was working on the mission, he would not have spoken so freely about it
"A question about-" began Mooney
"NO!" shouted Harry, not wanting Mooney to finish his sentence, Mooney raised his eyebrow's, and shot a better not ask look at Moody who's magical eye was eye was bouncing between the remaining four in the room. "I was just wondering if you would help me on a spell that Dumbledore gave me to try, or rather his book"
"What kind of spell?" growled Moody
"Well, we're not exactly sure what it is, only that this book that Dumbledore gave me, he wrote spells in it, and this one is called 'The Wrath of Merlin' and I was going to try it later this evening before dinner, at which Mrs. Weasley would like to invite you three to dinner" said Harry
"Dinner? Really? That's tempting, what do you say Tonks?" asked Mooney looking at his girlfriend now sited beside him again.
"And we get to help Harry and Ginny in there all secretive plan" said Tonks grinning at them. Harry wished they both would quiet down about there mission they knew nothing about, in front of Moody whose eye was swirling again, trying to detect any mischief.
"Great" said Ginny "We'll expect you all in a few hours then, I'll tell mum she'll be thrilled, get us out of the talking about the wedding"
"Glad we could be of service" joked Tonks
"Yeah thanks, it's really great of you two" agreed Harry
"Moody your invited to, want to help?" asked Ginny trying to get Moody's suspicion's under control, before he freaked and started cursing everyone in site. He was known to do that from time to time.
"Why not, sure, but I think I'll skip dinner, can't be to careful" said Moody his magical eye swirling Harry adverted his gaze to the beauty sitting beside him at the table, the eye was making him feel queasy. She smiled catching his meaning, with out any word's spoken.
"We better get going then, mum's going to be over here if we don't go" said Ginny smiling
"Yeah" agreed Harry "Here I need to tell you the location" Moony lifted his eyebrows again, and Ginny explained that the burrow was under the Fidelius charm and Harry was there secret keeper. Mooney seemed very deeply impressed. Harry quickly whispered it's location to all three. Then said they had to leave.
"Well, we'll see you both later then" said Mooney standing up with Harry and Ginny and walking with them to the fireplace, Harry shook his hands and hugged Tonks again and shook Moody's gnawed hand, with a slight nod of his head. After Ginny said her goodbye's, at which she had hugged Tonk's twice.
They floo'd over to the Burrow and informed Mrs. Weasley that Mooney and Tonks would indeed stay for dinner, but Moody who was coming would not be. They walked up to Ron's room knocking on the door, before entering. Hermione had books spread out on the floor though she was standing and Ron was sitting to innocently on the bed. Harry laughed and Ginny pulled him over to the bed were he sat down against the headboard, Ginny slid between his lags and leaned up against his chest, explaining to Ron and Hermione that they would be practicing the spell tonight instead of tomorrow. Ron was excited. Harry and Ginny fell asleep cuddling in no time.
Harry stood in the middle of the large field that sat next to the Burrow. Ron, Hermione and Ginny, stood with Charlie and in front of him a good thirty feet away. To his right another thirty feet away stood Mooney his eyes darting around with his nose sniffing at the air, making good use of his werewolf senses. Behind him was Tonk's also looking around for any signs of any unwanted visitor's. To his left was Moody, who had taken a personal liking to Harry and considered himself to be Harry's guard anywhere he went. Though Harry didn't mind this time. His magical blue eye was damn useful.
Harry took a calming breath and positioned himself, raised his wand at the ready and muttered the curse 'Manifus Magicus Emputus' nothing happened, he tried again, and again. Harry sighed in frustration as the people around him began to stir. He ran a hand through his already messy hair.
"Keep trying, Harry" said Mooney showing his never ending faith
"Yeah, Harry you'll get, practice makes a perfect spell" said Tonk's
"Put some magic into boy" growled Moody trying to be encouraging, but Harry found it irritating.
Harry tried three more times to no avail. He caught Ginny's eye from across the field. Her face was glowing and her hair shined in the fading sun, making a shiny circle on the top of her head. Remembering how he saw Tonk's communicate last year at the gate of Hogwarts Harry raised his wand and thought of Ginny in the scene that stood in front of him.
"Expecto Patronum"
A silver stag erupted from his wand and turned to look at him.
"Go tell wildfire, I love her" Harry said and grinned as the stag leaped over to Ginny who smiled and patted his head, the stag disappeared. Harry watched as she raised her own wand and produced her own patronus. As it grew nearer Harry recognized it as a unicorn. A golden glow eliminating from the tip of it's silver corn. He could hear Ginny's voice in his head
"I love you Harry. Try using the magic of love"
Harry petted the unicorn's nose and it disappeared. He waved at Ginny a smile on his face.
"Aw that was so romantic! What did she say, Harry?" cried Tonk's from somewhere behind him
"Nothing" muttered Harry blushing
"Did she learn that from you Harry?" asked Mooney "Never mind I don't want to know! I didn't see any underage witchery! Nope! Not one spell!" said Mooney as Tonk's giggled behind him. Harry flashed him a smile.
"Nothing interesting at all, only Harry trying a new spell" growled Moody agreeing "Or are you just going to stand there like a lemon, boy?"
Harry grinned. Try love. A memory flashed in his mind of Ginny in all her glory, laying in the bed, eye's flashing, her naked body moving against his touch, then up against the door mere hours before, her eyes pleading him to make love to her. His grin became wider at such a personal memory, his cheeks felt warmer and Harry knew it had nothing to do with the setting August sun.
He raised his wand in the air this time straight above him and with a last look at Ginny and the thought's running reckless in his mind, his body starting to react.
"Manifus Magicus Emputus"
A giant blue light exploded from his wand. It soared a good fifteen feet into the air and created an umbrella shaped dome. His friends on the opposite side, suddenly the ground within a foot of Harry started to tremble and a deafening roar was heard, the umbrella shaped dome glowed a bright blue the collapsed sending a thunder like volt of inescapable lightening into anything within it's confounds. The broken yard furniture nearby, splintered and burst into flames. The garden gnomes fell to the ground either dead or stunned Harry didn't know. He was surprised it had even worked.
His eyes found and met Ginny's who was grinning at him, but her face wasn't one of surprised. No she had faith and knew he would do it, it was one of pride. She took pride in him, and not for the boy-who-lived crap he found that the other girls, including Cho had, had. Ginny's was of love, true love. Harry smiled at her and winked, she saw him and gave a small wave, and a grin. Beside her Ron looked awed and Hermione was beaming, and Charlie looked shocked with his mouth hanging open.
"Good job, Harry, never saw your parent's do anything like that" said Mooney appreciatively and Harry grinned
"Yeah great job Harry, who taught you that again?" asked Tonk's her face was surprised, but pleased.
"Merlin's ghost Potter! You trying to kill the order, or Death Eater's" growled Moody. Harry noticed the ground not a few inches in front of Alastor Moody was singed and smoking. Harry muttered an apology and Moody laughed, throwing his grisly hair back "Don't worry Potter, you'll make a good Aura yet!"
Harry smiled. He felt exhausted from the simple spell, and he looked at Ginny. She seemed to understand that he needed her and she came running, he enveloped her in his arm's and kissed her hungrily. Only parting when he heard Mooney and Tonk's laugh.
"The boy's got to kill Voldemort and all he can do is snog!" Moody growl in frustration. Sending Harry, Ginny, Tonk's and Mooney laughing again. Harry felt his body warm up as Ginny pressed herself against him.
"I'm proud of you, Harry, I knew you could do it" Ginny whispered in his ear confidently
"You-did" Harry said inhaling her scent deep into his lungs.
"Without a doubt" she whispered back, and Harry smiled into her hair, as he saw Ron, Hermione and Charlie approaching
"Well done, Harry, well done" said Hermione
"That was bloody wicked Harry" said Ron followed by an "hhmmffpp" for Charlie had smacked the back of his head
"Not in front of the ladies, Ronnie, Harry where in the...where did you learn that again?" said Charlie catching himself in mid sentence.
"A book Dumbledore gave him" said Ginny answering for him and Harry nodded.
"I'm next" said Ron happily
Everyone backed away and left Ron in the middle of the field. He tried and tried and grew frustrated.
"Hermione send your patronus and tell him to concentrate on anything to do with love" said Harry "It's what helped me "said Harry blushing, and Ginny smiled as she wrapped his arm's around her middle in front of him, both facing Ron.
Hermione sent her patronus that happened to be an otter and took a little longer to get there, as it frolicked into the field, but when Ron got it, Harry swore his face went red, as he sent his own back Harry noticed it oddly resembled a Niffler. Hermione blushed as she got Ron's message and then they all watched as Ron tried time and time again.
"What is he doing out there?"
Harry Ginny, Hermione and Charlie all turned to find Mr. Weasley had came home from work early, and was now staring at Ron like his youngest son had turned mad.
"He's practicing a spell, Dad, Harry already done it and Hermione will be trying it next I take it?" said Charlie looking at Hermione, who nodded she did indeed plan on it. Ginny looked grim, and Harry understood with Mr. Weasley home she would be unable to try the spell.
"Don't worry we could slip our invisibility cloaks on and I'll watch your back and you can try it later" whispered Harry and saw Ginny grin.
Suddenly a green light came out of the field. Ron had managed to get it right. Though it was considerably smaller than Harry's, and not as powerful he did manage to get it right and came back looking pleased. Hermione took her turn and was able to produce the spell to little more affect than Ron's, but with a bit more power. Harry's had been the strongest. Hermione was absolutely thrilled to have accomplished the spell.
"DINNER" Mrs. Weasley's voice boomed out and they all headed back to the Burrow.
Moody said his goodbye's and Harry thanked him for his time.
"Constant Vigilance Potter, remember constant vigilance" he growled
"Yes sir" said Harry then watched as Moody gave a lopsided grin and floo'd away.
The table talk over dinner had been mainly about the new spell, Mrs. Weasley wondering why they had to learn it, and Mr. Weasley turned her to the conversation about Bill and Fleur's wedding, and had to sit grimaced through the rest of the meal, only having relief when Tonk's took over. Mr. Weasley reveled to Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny, Mooney and Charlie that six more Death Eater's had been caught and only two proclaimed they were under the Imperious curse. Mr. Weasley said they found a way to tell if they were or not, Mrs. Weasley interrupted them to tell the four it was bedtime. They climbed the stairs eagerly to get to bed.
"We'll meet at about two. How's that?" whispered Harry into Ginny's ear as he held her inside her room, while Ron and Hermione were 'saying' goodnight in Ron's.
"Sounds great, I can't wait to try it, it looked hard, but really fun to." said Ginny
"Just remember we'll only have about a half an hour before we'll have to return"
"Yeah" said Ginny grimly clearly afraid she wouldn't get it in time
"You'll do fine wildfire, just remember our love" said Harry Ginny blushed and smiled
"Care to give me something fresh to go on my sweet prince?" Harry smiled and kissed her with his rising desire. Ten minutes later placed the charm on there head's to wake up at two. Saying goodnight one final time Harry left her room, crossing Hermione on the stairs, and both gave a bushing goodnight. Then continued to there respective bed's.
