)(grimmauld place 2 days after the Ministry)(
Harry groaned slowly opening his eyes. Attempting to sit up he felt a surge of pain spring into his chest causing him to sigh and slump back down. The memories of his battle ringing in his mind. "I should have known...i just walked in without even checking for anyone still left...i walked right into it..." Sighing he attempted yo sit again but groaned, he definitely had broken ribs. "I can't believe i killed those death eaters..." he felt tears well up in his eyes but wiped them away trying to assure himself that they deserved it for all the lives they had already taken.
He had just noticed that there were others in the room, Hermione who was asleep in a chair, her hair pulled back in a rare ponytail, and Ginny who was curled up next to him on the bed. He sighed slightly "Why did both of them have to be here." Hearing a noise he looked towards the door where Ron was peeking his head in.
Ron blinked before giving a grin seeing that Harry was already awake, throwing the door open he smiled "Hey Mate! Took quite a beating didn't you?" He popped a cork off of a vile of orange liquid and smiled "Here drink this, mum says it will repair your ribs"
Harry blinked before grinning, weakly reaching up he took the vile chugging it in one gulp. "Hey wow, that wasn't to bad" Placing the empty vile on the end table he sighed "Hey Ron, did the daily prophet say anything about the attack?"
Ron smiled slightly "Yup, here look for yourself, About bloody time they print something that they didn't make up or edit, like with that article in 4th year on you and that blasted tournament." He pulled a rolled up news paper from his back pocket before tossing it on his lap.
Harry finally pushed himself to a sit with a visible cringe "Yeah well id take that tournament over killing voldemort any day." unrolling the paper he scanned over the paper. He noticed a large picture of two death eaters being subdued by aurors
Attack on the Ministry
by: fran rose
Yesterday afternoon Death eaters infiltrated The Ministry of Magic itself in an attempt to assassinate the Minister. In an Interview the Minister guaranteed us that the Ministry is taking all precautions on capturing the personnel involved in allowing Death eaters entrance to the 8th floor.
Apparently the staff shut down the elevators before He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named servants reached the 1st floor. Aurors rushed to stop the Death eaters from reaching the Minister but apparently they were out numbered. The Minister was saved by none other then Harry Potter who rushed from his apparation test to the 1st floor. With the help of two aurors he was able to save the Minister who's defending aurors had already been hit by the killing curse.
We were unable to get an interview with the head of aurors Rieza Liphton, but with some pressure we did receive a comment from the auror that assisted Harry Potter. Speaking to reports he clearly said that the Minister would not be alive if it wasn't for the efforts of Mr. Potter, who apparently sustained severe wounds in the battle. After being carried off by a man in white robes this reporter wonders if he was a friend or foe to are savior. Either way the Ministry lost over half of it's remaining staff in the battle and i hope He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named does not step up his attacks with this bold display of power.
Harry sighed putting down the paper "They might be right, Voldemort might start more attacks considering how many aurors were killed compared to the small force of Death eaters. Shifting on the bed he apparently woke up Ginny who yawned stretching her arms.
Realizing Harry was awake she gasped "Harry! Your alright, thank Merlin!" She caught him in a hug but quickly jumped back with a blush when he winced "I'm sorry Harry i forgot about the broken bones." he shook her head before glaring at him "Harry James Potter how dare you worry me like that! You could have gotten yourself killed, you were out cold for two days!"
Harry blinked a few times before grinning sheepishly "I'm sorry Ginny...i didn't mean to worry you. I passed my apparation test" At her annoyed glare he couldn't help but laugh "Sorry Gin..." She simply shook her head and shifted on the bed.
Talon walked through the door taking a seat in the other armchair that Hermione wasn't sleeping in "Well Lord Potter, took quite a beating didn't you. You must of used a pretty powerful spell to take down 6 death eaters...let me guess...The twin fire spell?"
Harry nodded slowly before sighing "I didn't want to kill them...but i would have ended up dead if i tried to stun them all." Ginny blinked "Lord Potter? I kind of like that...Well LORD Potter, can i bring you some food, you must be hungry."
Harry sighed "Not you to Ginny, your getting more like your mom, always offering me food" From the glare he received he knew to stop right there "Uh...some food would be great..." Ginny grinned before standing and going out the door. "Ron..your sister is scary sometimes, i think i would rather duel voldemort then be at the end of her wrath.
Ron grinned before breaking out in laughter "Awww Lord Potter is afraid of my 16 year old sister, how precious" He received a glare from Harry but he simply chuckled "I'm not scared of you like you are of my sister"
Harry sighed before shaking his head. Attempting to move he winced slightly "Hey...the potions already working, Great! We can go off to find the next Horcrux soon" Ron had an annoyed look on his face "Harry! Remember the last one! You cant honestly want to go get another one already!" Harry grinned before nodding "We have to Ron...and anyway, we might not find it...i just want to check hogwarts...see if we can find one"
With a groan Ron reluctantly nodding "Fine fine...i guess you'll want to check the common rooms...so I'll send a letter to Neville and Luna, maybe they'll tell us the passwords to the Gryffindor and ravenclaw common rooms."
Harry smiled with a nod "Thanks Ron..if were lucky we wont have to search anymore of the school" He watched Ron leave before sighing "Hey Talon..think you can speed up this rib repairing process?" Talon thought about it for a moment before nodding, gently placing the orb side of his staff against his chest it emitted a blue light. He removed his staff a moment later.
Attempting to stand up Harry smiled "Wonderful! It's still a little sore but i think i'm ok." Looking at Hermione he sighed "Wow she's a heavy sleeper." Walking over to the armchair he shook her lightly "Hey Hermione, come on wake up"
With great reluctance Hermione's eyes opened while she yawned "Harry i don't want-Harry!" Jumping up she threw her arms around him "Your alright!" she blinked as he chuckled and pulled back a bit.
He grinned slightly "Of course i'm ok Hermione, i always am Aren't i" He saw her reluctant nod before she kissed him, he was to guilty to kiss back but he didn't exactly pull away, that is until he heard the sound of breaking dishes. Turning he saw a horrified Ginny standing at the doorway before running off with tears in his eyes. Before he could chase her Hermione stopped him.
"This is my fault Harry, let me" She sighed walking out of the room in time to see Ginny slam her door shut. Slowly approaching she gently knocked on the door a nervous look on her face. He could hear Ginny's sobs When she didn't get an answer she sighed pulling out her wand "Alohomora" when she heard the following click she pushed the door open.
Ginny looked up to the door from her curled up position on the floor "What do you want! Haven't you done enough?" When she saw Hermione's hurt look she didn't say anything more but kept glaring. Hermione sighed sitting down on Ginny's bed "I-i'm sorry...i'm the one that kissed him...but he still loves you you know"
Ginny looked at her with a mix of hatred and confusion "Then why wasn't he pushing you away? Tell me that one" Hermione smiled slightly deciding she was at least getting through to her "He loves both of us...i think at least...he hasn't really said it to me." Ginny sighed, she was kind of surprised she was calming down so fast "Yeah Well, what to you suppose can be done about that, he can only have one of us..."
Hermione sighed shifting in her seat a bit "Well...w-we...could...share him" she couldn't believe what she was suggesting but it was better then losing him. Ginny seemed just as surprised by it considering her eyes looked like they would pop out "What? Share him? Are you insane?"Hermione nervously shuffled in her seat again "Well...if we make him choose we both have a chance of losing him...it's the only way we can keep him..."
)(back in Harry's room)(
Talon stared intently at Harry who was sitting on the edge of his bed "So then...you really want to leave tonight" When he nodded Talon sighed "Well...if thats your choice Lord Potter, but we have to wait and see if we get those passwords"
Harry nodded and blinked shifting nervously as Hermione and Ginny walked in. They both looked rather intent on something. Ginny was first to speak "Um...Harry...W-what would you say...if..." Hermione sighed slightly at Ginny's attempt at confrontation "If you love both of us, you can have both of us" Ginny glared at Hermione but nodded.
Harry's mouth was practically hanging open but was interrupted by Talons laughter. Grinning talon forced himself to stop laughing "A-are you both sure i wouldn't want...i mean...is this some kind of joke?" when they both shook there head he stood up "Well um...i don't know...it isn't fair to you two"
Ginny sighed looking at the floor "Well making you choose wouldn't be fair to you...you always care so much about others...putting them before yourself Harry. What you just said just makes me more determined to avoid making you pick just one. So stop complaining Harry!" Before he could protest Ginny kissed him wrapping her arms tightly around his neck.
It was a good 2 minutes before Ginny broke off with a grin. "I'll see you later Harry" She left the room with a smile, Hermione simply smiled before following her out. Harry plopped down in the second armchair before Talon broke out laughing again.
Talon chuckled when his laughter died down "Well Lord Potter, your Harem is growing" Harry glared before shaking his head.
)(Later that night in the kitchen)(
Ron smiled as Harry walked in, completing there little croup of adventurers "Bloody Heel harry you take way to long to get downstairs" He pulled out two pieces of parchment before pushing them into Harry's Hands "The passwords are on the back in invisible ink, Neville and Luna also want to help out."
Harry blinked tilting his head "we can't let them help! It could be dangerous if we find anything" Ron simply grinned "We need all the help we can get! There gonna meet us at the front door if they can, if not we have the passwords to meet them in the common rooms." Harry groaned but nodded "Alright alright fine...well should we get going?" Everyone looked at each other before nodding. "I'll be right back, i'm going to go get my robes on"
Running down the stairs a few minutes later he blinked before chuckling "Guess you all did the same, well i guess we look the parts of hero's" Ron grinned slightly "Well duh, white robes, complete opposite of the Death Munchers" Everyone chuckled before getting more serious.
Talon looked around for a moment "Well since everyone but Ginny can aparate, Harry will take her" Everyone nodded, including a glaring Ginny who hated the fact she was younger then all of them. "Ok, aparate outside Honey Dukes in Hogsmeade" Everyone nodded and with a pop Hermione, Ron, and Talon disappeared. Harry smiled taking Ginny's arm "Ready?" She smiled nodding before kissing him quickly "If i end up spiniched i will hurt you" She smiled innocently causing Harry to chuckle "Right" With a spin and a load pop they were gone.
)(Outside Honeydukes)(
Ron sighed as Harry and Ginny arrived "well it's late, so at least theres little chance of being seen" Everyone nodded and Harry grinned pulling out the Marauders Map.
Talon sighed slightly "Ok, ok, even though it's late we have to be careful. Harry brought his Invisibility cloak, but it would be helpful if some of you can will yourselves invisible. I can and Harry can...so what about you three?" they all nodded while Ron grinned "My dad taught us for safety"
Harry sighed slightly tapping his staff on the ground "Well...how do we get in though? I doubt we can just walk up to the front door"
Talon shook his head with a smile "Actually we can, the charms and spells on the school are for people with bad intentions, it's impossible to get by if you even have the slightest thought of doing something to endanger anyone within the school, We are simply exploring, not endangering."
Harry nodded slowly and they all willed themselves invisible taking the slow, long pass back to the school. When they finally reached the front door they smiled "Alright, well...lets see if Neville and Luna made it" Gently tapping his fist on the large doors they waited a moment before the door was slowly pushed open to reveal a dreamy eyed Luna.
Luna smiled brightly "Harry! There you are, me and Neville here have been waiting an eternity" She looked back at Neville who looked nervously down the corridor before smiling at Harry "Hey, what did you need to get into the school for anyway? I didn't bother to ask Ron..just said id help."
Ron smiled slightly "More danger, you know Harry, never happy unless he's doing something more dangerous then the last" Neville looked even more nervous while Luna still kept her dreamy look. "You mean more dangerous then fighting death eaters in the Ministry?" From Harry's nod he smiled "Alright, what are we waiting for?" With that the group carefully made there way towards the Gryffindor common room, with Luna and Neville tucked away under Harry's Invisibility Cloak.
