The Reunion

Harry went for horcrux hunting with his two best friends, Ronald and Hermione instead of going to school on their seventh year. They found and destroyed every horcrux. In the final battle they all lost a lot of close people, but Voldemort was destroyed. Many death eaters also died and many went to Azkaban. Harry anyway felt very guilty by all the losses. He travelled anonymous to north of Europe, to Finland. There he lived as a muggle. After a time Harry started to think about going back, of course it was a distant thought but after a long time he started to think of that as reality. But how will it go now, almost 7 years after the battle Harry will go back.

1: The meeting

Harry held his bag with clothes and stuff in his sweaty hands. How would the Weasley's and everyone act, he had been in a small town in Finland for almost 7 years. He hadn't wrote or anything. He didn't know why he hadn't wrote, it just felt like that, he hadn't the courage to do it. He walked toward the Burrow. He hesitated but then knocked on the door, three times. He heard voices and then the door opened. It was Mrs. Weasley. She looked shocked, but then her eyes got wet.

"H-Harry Potter?" She stuttered quietly. Harry nodded softly.

"You are not dead?" she asked weirdly. Harry shook his head. He wasn't dead, why would he be? He told them he had to get away. But he had been away for quite long so.

"But come inside now. Welcome." Mrs. Weasley said with a still little confused look. Harry stepped forward. The Burrow looked like before. But there wasn't as much life as usual. Suddenly he saw in the living-room a bushy-brown-haired woman, it was Hermione. She looked something between sad and confused.

"Hi" Harry said quietly.

"Harry?" She asked softly.

"Yes, it's me." He said as quietly as before.

"But… we all thought you were dead!" she said a little louder.

"But I'm not. Why did you think I wear dead? There was no proof."

"You should have written that you weren't dead. The Prophet claimed you were dead about 6 years ago, said someone saw your dead body" she said still looking at him.

"That someone was lying! But I'm sorry I didn't write, I was … depressed … didn't really know what to do…"

"It's ok. Main thing is that you're here now, alive" she said now smiling sadly. After that it was an embarrassing silence. Harry saw Ron walk to the room. He had been on the loo probably.

"You-" Ron began but Harry interrupted him.

"Yes it's me, I'm not dead, I hided in the North of Europe in some kind of dead place where no one recognized me."

"Bloody-" Ron began but then noticed it was no use to say anything.

Harry walked around in the living-room before he sat down on the other couch and asked:

"Well, how are you doing over here?"

"Ohh, I think we're doin' great" Hermione answered "Me and Ron are engaged, and going to get married in a few weeks, glad you came home to that" Ron blushed at that and Hermione's cheeks turned a bit pink.

"Congratulations!" Harry said smirking, but then continued normally "How is all the others doing? I mean the losses must've been hard and…"

There followed a few seconds of silence where all looked sadly at each other.

"Yes. I'm working now at Hogwarts as the charms teacher, Ron's an auror. The twins are still running that shop. Ginny… is searching for a job somewhere, I think, now. I don't know where. And…" Ron and Hermione started to look sadly at Harry "she is engaged to a git, Zacharias Smith, if you remember?"

Harry gave a joyless laughter. "What, Smith?" he said then with a confused look. "She hated him"

"She did, but after the war you know, she needed comfort. Smith comforted her and they started to date, I didn't think she liked him at all but… They've been together now for a while so…" Hermione said looking at her feet.

"Oh, I see…" Harry said sadly, he hadn't really talked to her after they went for the horcrux hunting. That doesn't mean that he didn't like her because he still did. She was one of the reasons he came back.

"Is that bugging you?" Ron asked seriously but a little sadness in his look.

"No I guess not" Harry lied. It bugged him really deep.

"Dinner's ready!" They heard Mrs. Weasley's voice from the kitchen. They trio went dining. There he explained also to Mr. Weasley everything. After that Ron and Hermione showed Harry their apartment. It was nice, not a long way from the Burrow.

"Wow, this is nice!" Harry said.

"Well it was not expensive but it really is nice" Ron said proudly. "You could live here until you find your own."

"Thanks, I'll find one fast" Harry said.

"Yeah, you're still rich." Ron said "They kept your things in your vault. Here's your key, you forgot to take it with you to Nifland"

"Ron it's Finland" Hermione said matter-of-factly.

"Whatever" Ron said glaring at Hermione. Harry couldn't but smile.

"Well, I know I have my vault, but I'm still going to find a job." Harry said.

"We need at Hogwarts a new DADA-teacher." Hermione hinted. Harry had always been good at defense against dark arts. He had considered that but also an auror career would be nice…

"With whom do I have to speak to get that?" Harry asked. Hermione looked satisfied that he was interested and got her hint.

"McGonagall, she's still the headmistress. You could send her an owl." Hermione replied. Harry nodded smirking in thanks and went to write the letter.
