Harry sat in Buckbeak's room, absentmindedly stroking the hippogriff. Tears were making tracks down his face, he was tired. Tired of thinking about his past and what hope he had of a future. He was tired of thinking about whether or not to accept his parents. Tired of war; he was just tired.

Ginny walked along the hall, she was heading down to the kitchen to get something to eat. She passed Buckbeak's room and heard a faint sob from the other side of the door, who was crying?

Well she knew the answer to that instantly, Harry. She moved towards the door handle, to carefully open the door and walked into the room.

She looked around a spotted Harry on the floor next to Buck beak. She quietly shut the door and approached him.

Sliding down the wall next to him, she put her hand in his and squeezed gently offering her comfort and reassurance.

Harry looked into his girlfriend's eyes, and smiled weakly as much as he found himself loving Ginny, he and she both knew that she could not fix this situation. There were things that he needed to hear and things that he needed confirmed but she could not speak them, only his parents could do that.

So that sat in silence, neither saying a word though they were both thinking many thoughts.

Ginny wished that she could do something for Harry, but this was probably one of the few problems she could not fix.

Harry wished that his parents would accept him, and that he himself could believe them real.

James and Lily walked up the stairs they figured that Harry had locked himself in a room, and were now proceeding to find him.

They looked in every room, until only one remained Buckbeak's room. They walked up to the door, and James politely knocked.

There was a shuffle of feet and the door opened, revealing Ginny Weasley.

"Hello" Lily said to the girl whom she had yet to know the name of.

"hello Mr. and Mrs. Potter" Ginny said politely, she herself barely knew the two but she knew she liked them, though she was a bit cold to the fact that they had left her boyfriend for fifteen years of his life and then expected an open armed welcome, but she let that rest aside.

"What's your name?" Lily asked eager to learn who all these people in Harry's life were.

"Oh, I'm Ginny, Harry's girlfriend" she said somewhat awkwardly though she took no shame in the title, it was just awkward to have to tell that to the parents of said boyfriend.

Lily and James looked surprised for a moment, Harry had not mentioned he had a girlfriend but like Sirius said he had not shared everything, not that they had expected him to.

"It is nice to meet you" Lily said with a genuine smile resting on her face, she did not know this girl yet but she seemed to hold a good vibe.

James greeted Ginny similarly. His face contained a look of glee and proud ness. His son had a girlfriend, and it seemed he had pretty good taste as well.

"You as well" Ginny answered to both their greetings.

"Um… you would not happen to know where Harry is, would you?" Lily asked, she and James really needed to speak with him.

Ginny opened the door wider, to reveal Harry sitting next to a large hippogriff, whom they assumed to be Buck beak. He did not even seem to register there presence but just continued to stroke the feathers of the hippogriff.

Ginny walked up to Harry, and whispered in his ear, "I will see you later" and then pecked him on the cheek affectionately before leaving the potters to talk.

When the door shut, James began with out a moments hesitation, " Harry I don't know hat to say, other then I am truly truly sorry, we never meant to leave you to that sort of chaos, we never meant to leave you at all."

"It's okay it was not your fault that this all happened, it was mine" Harry said, taking the blame as usual.

"What do you mean?" James asked.

"well I am not exactly Voldemort's best mate, I have been a thorn in his side since I was born, I don't think that if you had not left it would have stopped any of this from happening, well except maybe me living at the Dursley's, " Harry said.

James' fists clenched at the name, "yes about them can I punch them or hex them or something?"

Harry laughed, "Go right ahead you would not be the first"

"Well I'll be the last" James said sounding quite scary.

"No you won't I will" Lily said with a look that was ten times worse then James'. Her own sister, flesh and blood, how could she have done such a thing to her son? They were the only family he ever knew and they had abused him. It made her sick to even think of her sister doing such a thing.

James and Harry both seemed rather surprised at lily but then shrugged it off; they did not care what happened to the Dursley's. Well they might not care but to those that do pass this message onto them, 'you Dursley's had better look out'.

"yes well anyways, um… we wanted you to know that if you want us to in your life again as a family along with izzy and Brandon then we will most happily do so and if you would rather we leave you alone we will do so as well" lily said finishing painfully she did not want to leave her son again.

Harry had momentarily forgotten about his siblings but then it all had come back to him and he remembered he had them, just like he had parents.

"Tell me about them, what are they like?"

The two elder potters smiled slightly it seemed that even without coming out and saying it, Harry had chosen, he wanted a family, he wanted his family.

The two happily obliged in answering his questions about his siblings, and launched into the story, though most of what Harry would want to know was something that he would have to find out from Izzy and Brandon, to quote a friend, it was not their stories to tell.
