A/N:

Disclaimer - Sadly I don't Harry or any of his friends or places in the Wizarding World. I don't even own the character Brionna Culver seeing as she's based on one of my best mates! I do however own the plot and any other original characters.

Summary - Follow Harry through his seventh and final year at Hogwarts where he has to deal with girl problems, being a teenager and Voldemort and his Horcruxes. HBP spoilers, prequel to One Night Can Change Everything.

Thanks for all the reviews. They mean a lot to me. And a lot of you have asked for a sequel to One Night Can Change Everything. Now I wasn't going to do it because I thought that I couldn't take the characters any further but I had an idea come to me the other night that tells the story of Harry and Ginny's youngest daughter Trinity (the baby he's holding at the end of One Night Can Change everything). So I want to develop it and see if I can make it into a fic.

Anyways now onto our feature presentation. Here's Chapter 5. Enjoy! This is quite sad. I cried while writing it and I wasn't going to post it till I have finished chapter 6 but I felt that I needed to post seeing as one of my customers at work got mugged today outside after I had served him. So I'm not really in a place to write at the moment. I promise it won't too long before Chapter 7 is up. Have a merry Christmas and a happy new year and enjoy yourselves. Oh and please review!


Chapter 5 - Back To Godric's Hollow

The next day, Harry got up as usual when Mrs Weasley called and went down to breakfast.

He sat down next to Ginny and smiled at her weakly.

Harry started to eat his fry up but stopped when he felt Ginny's hand on his thigh.

Harry looked sideways at Ginny who grinned at him.

"Come up to my room when you're done," Ginny whispered.

She quickly looked round the table to check that nobody had heard her then spoke again, this time to Mrs Weasley, "Mum, may I be excused please?"

"Yes Ginny dear," Mrs Weasley replied.

Ginny got up and walked out of the kitchen.

When Ginny was out of sight, Mrs Weasley looked at Harry, Ron and Hermione.

"What are you three doing today?" she asked.

They all exchanged looks with each other and Harry nodded.

"We're um," Hermione started.

"Well, you see," Ron joined in.

Harry sighed and decided to put them out of their misery.

"I want to see where my parents are buried and Ron and Hermione said that they would come with me," Harry explained.

Mrs Weasley nodded while her eyes were welling up.

"Oh Harry, I knew that this day would come eventually. It's only natural for you to want to go and see them," Mrs Weasley told Harry while wiping her eyes.

She quickly hugged Harry then went back to cleaning the kitchen.

Harry left the kitchen and walked to Ginny's bedroom.

When he reached it, he knocked on the door and heard Ginny beckon him in.

Harry walked in and shut the door behind him then looked at Ginny.

"What did you want me to come up here for? We coud have spoken to each other downstairs."

"Yeah but I wanted to do this thing and there's no way on this earth that I could do it downstairs in front of my Mum and brother," Ginny explained.

"Oh and what is this thing?" Harry asked.

"This," Ginny said as she stood on her tiptoes and kissed him.

However when Harry didn't kiss back Ginny knew that there was something wrong and pulled away.

"Harry?"

"I don't feel right doing this," Harry said.

"And what do you mean by that?"

"Gin, I'm going to see where my parents lived and are buried today. It doesn't feel right kissing you when my heart is thinking of that and not you."

Ginny nodded and cuddled Harry whilst saying sorry over and over again.

"Hey it's okay Gin. You weren't to know how I was feeling. You did what was natural for a girlfriend to do," Harry told her.

Ginny sniffed and nodded.

"Can I come with you Harry?"

Harry looked at Ginny with an unreadable expression on his face.

"Gin I want to do this alone today. I don't know how I'll react. You can come next time. I promise."

Ginny nodded again and her bedroom door opened.

They heard it open and turned to see Hermione and Ron stood in the doorway.

"Harry, it's time to go," Hermione told him.

Harry nodded and kissed Ginny on her cheek then went to walk out of the bedroom.

"Harry?" Ginny called after him.

Harry turned and said, "yeah?"

"Be careful. I don't want any of you coming back in more than one piece."

All three of them nodded then apparated out of the Burrow.

A few moments later Harry, Hermione and Ron appeared in a little village surrounded by green countryside.

"Is this the right place?" Ron asked.

"Yes, look Ronald," Hermione replied whilst pointing to a sign that said "Welcome to Godric's Hollow" on it.

"Okay, we're in the right village. Now all we have to do is find the place," Harry told them.

Ron and Hermione nodded and the three of them walked into the tiny village.

As they walked around they saw a tiny shop, a pub and other places that suggested that Godric's Hollow was a Muggle village.

"Um guys. Doesn't this seem strange to you?" Hermione asked.

"What do you mean?" Ron asked.

"There's no wizarding places. It's entirely Muggle," Harry replied.

Hermione nodded then gestured to the tiny shop.

"I'll go in there and ask if anyone knew your parents," she said.

"I'm coming with you," both Harry and Ron told her at the same time.

They walked into the shop and saw a teenage girl behind the counter.

They walked up to her and she asked, "can I help?"

"Did you know the Potter's? They lived here about seventeen years ago with their baby son," Hermione asked politely.

"I would have been a baby then but my Gran would able to help you," the girl replied.

"Could we speak to her please?"

The girl nodded and called for her Gran.

"What is it Sophie?" an old woman asked as she walked slowly through a door behind the counter.

"These people are asking about the Potter's. Did you know them?" Sophie asked.

"Who's asking?"

"My name's Hermione and this is Harry and Ron," Hermione replied.

The woman looked at them then smiled.

"Well in that case then yes I did know the Potter's. Lovely people Lily and James were. Their son, Harry I think his name was, was an adorable baby. He was always happy. Lily would come to this shop to do all her shopping. It was the only time she came into the village. I often asked her why she would only come to the village to do her shopping. She never told me until Harry was three months old. She had brought him with her because James had to work. I was talking to her and we both turned around to see Harry levitating himself. That was when she told me she was a witch and that a wizard was after her and her family. After that day Lily came to me to get all of her potion ingredients," the old woman told them.

"You're a witch?" Hermione asked.

"Yes. As I was saying, Lily never spent a long time in the village because You-Know-Who was after them. Then the day after Halloween nearly sixteen years ago the village was crawling with Ministry officials. Turns out You-Know-Who had found them. He killed poor James first while Lily tried to run with Harry. He was just over a year old then. Then You-Know-Who found Lily and killed her. He wasn't content with killing Lily and James because then he turned his wand on little Harry. The house was in ruins. I myself saw Lily and James' bodies but the strangest thing was that Harry had disappeared. He was never seen around here again. It's a shame really because Lily was the only witch I knew around here. I've lived as a Muggle since I moved here so I don't keep up with the wizarding world. I often wonder where Harry is now and what happened to him."

Hermione nodded.

"Why are you so interested anyway?"

Hermione looked at Harry then at the old lady not sure whether to say anything.

"Because I'm Harry," Harry told her.

"Yes dear, I know that your name is Harry."

Harry chuckled and shook his head.

"No, I'm the Harry. I'm Harry Potter. Lily and James' son."

The old lady looked at Harry and laughed.

"I thought you looked familiar. Yes now that I think of it you do look like James except your eyes. You have Lily's eyes. I thought that Godric's Hollow would be the last place you would be in. Why come back to the village where your parent's were killed?"

"I wanted to see where I lived. Are they buried here?" Harry asked.

"Yes. Near where the house stood."

"Can you take us?" Ron asked.

"Oh no I couldn't but Sophie can. Sophie take Harry and his friends to the Potter graves."

Sophie nodded reluctantly and led Harry, Ron and Hermione out of the shop and through the village.

Soon enough she stopped near two solitary graves and looked at Harry who was welling up.

"No villagers wish to be seen near these graves. That's why it is so untidy. They find it too upsetting," Sophie told him.

Harry nodded and looked at the two gravestones.

He walked towards them and said, "Mum? Dad?"

Harry sank to his knees and traced the lettering on the stones.

He read the words as he traced them on his father's grave.

Harry then did the same with his mother's grave.

Hermione, Ron and Sophie watched him do this and Sophie went to join him but Ron and Hermione pulled her back.

"No. It's best to leave him alone when he's like this," Ron told her.

Harry sat on the floor facing the graves with tears in his eyes.

"Hey," he said.

He looked at the stones as though he was expecting a reply but nothing happened apart from a few leaves rustling in the summer breeze.

"It's me, Harry. You know, your baby. Well I'm not so much of a baby anymore, I'm seventeen now. Merlin this is so hard. I guess you're wondering what happened to me after he killed you. Well Dumbledore sent me to the Dursley's and I had to live through ten years of hell. I lived in a cupboard and they let Dudley beat me up whenever he wanted to. I used to blame you for leaving me with them when you died. Then when I turned eleven, Dumbledore sent Hagrid to get me and he told me about you, our world and Hogwarts. In my first year I was sorted into Gryffindor and met Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger, we've been best friends ever since. During that year we saved the Philosopher's Stone and I was made seeker for the Quidditch team," Harry said to the graves.

"Anyway it turns out that Voldemort was using one of the teacher's to get the stone for him to be immortal. After that happened I went back to the Dursley's and a house elf tried to stop me from going back to Hogwarts. The Dursley's put bars on my window after that happened but luckily Ron and two of his brother's saved me and took me back to their house. Then when we went back to Hogwarts the Chamber of Secrets was opened. Me, Ron and Hermione found out that Voldemort was controlling Ron's little sister Ginny through a diary. In my third year I met Sirius when he escaped from Azkaban and he told me that it was Pettigrew who told Voldemort where you were. At the end of that year he went on the run but kept in touch with me. Then in my fourth year I was entered in the Triwizard Tournament by one of Voldemort's Death Eaters and I saw Voldemort kill a student. That was when he got his body back."

Harry sighed and continued.

"In my fifth year I learnt about a prophecy involving me and Voldemort but that was after I had battled him. I saw Sirius get killed by Bellatrix Lestrange. In sixth year I learned that Snape went by an alias of the Half Blood Prince during his time at school and saw Snape kill Dumbledore. I also learnt more about Voldemort's life. And I had a brief relationship with Ginny Weasley, we broke up at Dumbledore's funeral. And that leads me to where I am now. I'm staying with Ron at his house after I left the Dursley's and I'm seeing Ginny again. I realised after getting to Ron's that breaking up with her was the wrong thing to do and how wonderful she is. She makes me feel normal. I also have to find four parts of Voldemort's soul then kill Voldemort himself. Not until then will I rest. And when I've done that I'll come and tell you. It's funny how I can't even remember you but I miss you so much. Ron's calling now. I have to go otherwise his mum will worry about us. I'll come back and see you soon. Love you."

Harry got up and walked back to where the other's were standing, all the time wiping tears from his eyes.

Ron and Harry apparated back to the Burrow while Hermione looked at Sophie.

"Please tell your Gran thanks. It meant a lot to Harry to be able to see where he lived and where his parents are buried."

Sophie nodded and started to walk back to the shop.

Hermione walked towards the graves and looked at the inscriptions.

Harry's father's grave said:

Here lies James Potter

1965 - 1986

Beloved husband, friend and father

May he rest in peace

She then looked at Harry's mother's grave which said:

Here lies Lily Potter

1965 - 1986

Beloved wife, friend and mother

May she rest in peace

"Hi Mr and Mrs Potter. You don't know me and I don't know you but I'm Hermione, one of Harry's best friends. I just wanted you to know that he really misses you and wishes that you could be here with him. I think you could do with some flowers," Hermione said.

She then muttered a spell and some flowers appeared on the graves.

Hermione then turned on her heel and apparated back to the Burrow.
