Thx for all feedback!
Ch4:
The next day Harry was glad. He and Ginny had forgiven each other yesterday. Harry's stomach was kind of bubbling of joy. He had told Hermione about the conversation and she seemed almost as happy as Harry. But now Harry had a class. They read about non-verbal spells when suddenly a blond boy raised his hand.
"Yes mr. McHarsch?"
"Could you tell us what a horcrux? I mean I read about that there was some horcruxes involved in the war seven years ago. But what are they, sir?" Harry thought for a moment before he replied.
"I'm sorry I don't think we're allowed on Hogwarts to tell about those"
"But could you please tell us, professor Potter?"
"Well, since this is DADA and you are sixth yearers I think I could" It was a quietly 'wow' in the class by that. Harry continued: "It's and item that you can put a part of your soul. But first you have to split your soul, and that is really painful. You have to perform a murder first. And when you have made a horcrux you can't feel it after a time. And it wouldn't be fun to have a part of you in an item, and you become really weird with just a small part of your soul in your body. It's one of the worst dark art things to do, that exists."
"Why would anyone want to do this, sir?"
"They want to be immortal. It's a sick thing to do. But you know Voldemort?" The whole class nodded as they shivered. "He had made 6 horcruxes and he died because his horcruxes got destroyed so it's not a guarantee for immortality."
"And you destroyed all the horcruxes and the one that was in his body also, sir?" A girl asked fascinated.
"No, Dumbledore destroyed one. But I destroyed the other yes." Harry didn't know but the rest of the lesson the students seemed to respect him even more than before. Maybe it was because he had explained them about a really dark thing. Or that they understood what Harry had done in their age. The rest of the day went well and sometimes when he walked by some students he could hear them whisper something and then smirk at him.
"Harry" Harry turned around and saw Ginny standing in the door-opening. The classroom was empty.
"Hi Ginny" He replied
"What have you told the students?" Ginny said "I mean I feel there's something I don't know again"
"I told them about the horcruxes"
"About what?" Ginny replied confused. "I mean I've heard that word a long time ago sometimes but no one really explained to me. Harry remembered he never told Ginny about The horcruxes or the hunting, he never really talked to her after Bill's and Fleur's wedding.
"I'm sorry I never told you. I told the sixth yearers about horcruxes" Harr started and then explained everything to Ginny. She looke d a bit sad and a little betrayed by the fact she never was told about the horcruxes. After Harry finished it was a silence before Ginny said:
"You told the students before me? Great!"
"I'm sorry Gin… I never really talked to you after the wedding… But I don't want to argue about everything with you now!"
"No, I'm sorry, I just get so easily upset nowadays…" Ginny said softly.
"Is something wrong?" Harry asked looking concernly at her.
"No, nothing it just all these emotions coming up after so long and… I don't know" She said half laughing at the end of the sentence.
"I heard you're engaged to Smith?" Harry said trying to sound regardless.
"Yeah" Ginny replied shortly before she continued "We're probably getting married next summer"
"Oh" Harry said trying to sound regardless again.
"Don't worry, you'll be invited" Ginny said cheerily
"Thanks" Harry said not feeling any grateful at all. "But hey I have to continue with my work,
it's already late."
"Oh, I'll better leave, bye" Ginny said softly before leaving and closing the door behind her slowly.
"Yeah" Harry replied quietly without anyone listening. He felt weird she looked at him like she felt something for him…
"Harry Potter, would you come here for a while" said the Headmistress the next day at the teacher's room.
"What's up Minerva?" Harry asked.
"I've heard you told the students about horcruxes" She said seriously.
"But since I'm teaching them how to defend against dark arts I think it was necessary…"
"You should have told none or everyone. It's now rumours in the whole school and it deviates from the version you told them." Could you please at some breakfast tell the whole school at the same time so there would be no false rumours" she said simply.
"But… There are first year students and…"
"They all have the right to know the truth"
"Ok, I'll do it, tomorrow or?" Harry asked
"Whenever suits you" she replied softly. Harry nodded and went to his own office.
The next morning he told the whole school about the horcruxes. All students and teachers were silent and just frowned at him. But they listened and clapped after all. Harry was afraid that many would come and ask about it but fortunately no one did.
Harry went through a passage in his own thoughts when suddenly he heard a familiar, annoying voice:
"What are you doing here, Potter?" It was Zacharias Smith.
"I could ask you the same question?" Harry replied softly, but confident.
"Oh I'm here visiting my fiancé, but you… you were dead." Smith said In an annoying tone.
"I was never dead, and it's not any of your business by the way" Harry said.
"But keep yourself away from my fiancé! Don't you dare touch her!" Smith said loudly.
"Whatever." Harry said regardless of Smith. He turned away and continued to go to his classroom when he felt a fist in the back of his head and he fell to the floor.
"What the hell d'you think your doin'?" Harry shouted furiously.
"I'm serious" Smith said superciliously and went away. Smith had become really aggressive. He had never done anything like that before in school or anywhere Harry knew. He was a Hufflepuff after all.
Later Harry saw Smith walking hand in hand with Ginny. Ginny didn't notice Harry but Smith glowered at Harry. Harry felt like the monster in his chest was growling. He couldn't let Ginny marry such a git.
Review please!
