Chapter Two
"Come on, Harryཀ We have to go meet Ron before he starts yelling in the middle of Diagon Alley againཀ" Ginny told Harry. Last time Ginny and Harry had met Ron, they had arrived to find him already drunk, yelling in street doing some stupid dance. When they had finally got him under control, he was so embarrassed he flooed home before they could tell him what they had come for.
"I'm comingཀ" he called running to catch up with her.
Walking into the Leaky Cauldron, they spotted Ron waiting for them over by the window. When they walked over he looked up " Hey mateཀ Hi Ginཀ So what do u want to tell me so bad?" He looked at them anxiously, hoping it was good news.
Expecting one of them to sit by him he shoved over to make room, but both of them sat down beside each instead. Ron looked confused but just shrugged it off and slid back over. Harry and Ginny smiled at each other, their eyes laughing at Ron's unexcepting looks. "Want me to tell him?" Harry asked. Ginny nodded and smiled.
"Ron, we're... erm... Ginny is my girlfriendཀ" He finally spit out. "There I said itཀ" Harry looked over at Ron, expecting him to look angry, but instead he was just staring. Slowly, a smile crept on to his face and he started laughing.
When he finally could control his laughter, he turned to his sister and his best mate. " Thats greatཀ I knew you to were good friends but I didn't know you were that closeཀ Harry I might be your brother in law somedayཀ" Harry was shocked when he said that, Harry hadn't even thought that far aheadཀ
"I might even be an uncle somedayཀ" Harry started blushing at the thought of what would have to happen before Ron became and uncle. Even though the thought was nice, he and Ginny had only been dating for a little over a week.
Thwackཀ Harry looked over to see Ron leaning against the wall and Ginny smiling mischiefly at him. " Ow that hurt Ginnyཀ" Ron complainedཀ "What'd do that for?" Ginny continued smiling " Oh because you are acting like me and Harry are gettin' marriedཀ We've only been dating for a weekཀ"
"Come on, Ginཀ I want to do some stuff before it gets darkཀ" Ginny nodded and followed, leaving Ron by himself.
OooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooO
Later that day, after Ginny went home, Harry headed over to Remus' apartment. Remus, who was expecting him, met him at the door and let him in. He stepped inside and looked around. There was a small, beaten and faded couch in what was probably the living room and a very small table in the kitchen. The faded and torn curtains were pushed back, letting the sunlight into the rooms. Harry assumed this was because Remus had lost yet another job and didn't have money to keep the place lighted. Looking back at Remus, Harry gasped, realizing how much weight Remus had lost in the past week.
Hearing Harry gasp, Remus looked at him and smiled slightly "I'm afraid I don't have much food to offer you, but please make yourself at home," Harry nodded and went to sit down on the couch. "Can I get you anything?" he asked Harry. When Harry shook his head, he sat down next to him. Harry continued looking at his surrounding, not sure how to ask what he had come to ask.
"What are you thinking about Harry? I can tell its important," Remus asked curiously.
Harry sighed "Ok, but let me finish before you say no." Remus looked at him suspiciously, but nodded. " Ok. I want you to move in with me at Grimmauld Palace. I live there by myself and its quite boring and lonely. You live in this..." he paused, searching for the right word, "dump. You oviously don't have much money or a job so you won't be able to live here much longer. And don't worry, you would have most of the upstairs to yourself so Tonks could come over and probably stuff." Remus blushed a little at the name of his new fiancee. Sensing he was embarrassed Harry continued, " I promise I won't bother you. All you would have to do is put up with me and my girlfriend." Remus chuckled lightly at the last part, but still looked undecided. "Please? You can't tell me my father or Sirius wouldn't have done the same and besides I get lonely."
Remus sighed loudly, "I don't know Harry, sure Sirius or James would have done the same but I am supposed to be taking care of you, not the other way around." Harry shrugged, " Look at it this way, living with me would be keeping me from being lonely. And you would be there to watch over me when I have my girlfriends over." He added, his gleaming eyes full of mischief.
"Are you sure Harry? When you put it that way its not so bad, because James would never let you be alone with your girlfriends at this age, though Sirius probably wouldn't care." he said laughing. Harry nodded. "And I don't care if Tonks moves in either." Remus blushed at the thought of his new fiancee living with him at Harry's house and what could happen.
"Ok. I'll start now." Harry nodded and helped Remus pack what little he had. Soon they headed toward Grimauld Palace, ready to unpack.
OooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooO
Three Months Later.....
Ron and Hermione were leaving Grimmauld Palace after visiting Tonks, Remus and Harry. Tonks and Remus had asked them to be in their wedding a couple months ago and they wanted to get all the details right as the wedding was only two months away.
"They are so happy about the wedding!" Ron said to no one inparticular. Hermione nodded "Yeah, but you can tell that they are sad that Sirius and Harry's parents can't be there. Did you hear Harry and Remus talking about that?"
"Yeah I wish there was a spell or something that would let them talk to them for a couple minutes or something." Hermione looked thoughtful for a moment, as if she was trying to remember if there was one. "I don't think there is..." She stopped, remembering something and ran toward her apartment down there street. Ron stood bewildered in the street before following her.
"Ron! Look at this!" she panted holding up a book of spells, and pointing at one. Ron slowly read the spell over and looked at her "Its dangerous, but it might work. Who's going to be the one to perform it?" he asked. The spell was very powerful and could almost kill the person performing it, therefor someone was needed to watch. It also had to be preformed by a close friend of the person mourning whoever died.
Hermione took a deep breath, "I'll do it," she said quietly. "Are you sure? I can do it?" Ron countered. "No, it was my idea and I have a better chance of not getting extremely hurt." Ron nodded, though he didn't look convinced. "Lets get the potion and spell ready." She said before he could change his mind.
When the potion was finished and Hermione felt rested enough to preform the spell they went to Hermione's room and put silence and security spells around the place so no one could disturb them.
Hermione, with wand and potion in hand, walked toward the mirror. She paused, taking a deep breath, then threw the potion at the mirror and at the same time she said the spell.
Hermione gasped when the mirror turned pink and a cracking sound filled the air. Shocked, Hermione fell to the ground and ly there trying to regain her power and hold the spell. "Mione, are you ok?" Ron asked, fearing that she was hurt. Hermione nodded and sat up a little.
" Hello? Where am I?" Both friends jumped at the sound of the voice and turned to see Harry's godfather in the mirror, looking very confused. "Hermione? Ron? Will you please tell me whats going on?"
"Uh... well, we sorta.. umm, did a spell.." Ron mumbled "Oh hurry up Ron, I can't hold the spell much longer or I am going to pass out."Hermione said bluntly. Ron looked shocked at the news and turned back to Sirius and explained what they did and needed rather quickly.
At first the Marauder was shocked and didn't know what to say. "I... well, I'll see what I can do. Maybe Prongs and I can talk to Fate or whoever and maybe... just maybe we can work something out." He paused for a minute, trying to decide if he should say something else. "And tell Harry to quit being so sad all the time and be happy because I don't want him to miss out on stuff just because I got myself killed. Then tell Moony and Tonks congratulations and I will be watching. But don't tell them what we talked about because I have no clue if it will work." He stopped, and looked at Hermione. Sweat was no falling down her face and she was turning slightly pale. "Hermione if you don't stop the spell your going to pass out! I should go anyway but please take care of Harry and don't let him be sad all the time! He deserves to be happy! Now stop the damn spell before you kill yourself! I don't think Harry could take that." He added seriously. "Thank you" he whispered just before Hermione dropped the spell.
"Mione!" Ron yelled as he grabbed his friend before she fell to the ground. He carefully put her on the bed to rest before he walked to the couch to think.
