CHAPTER 9

Harry awoke the day they where leaving for the train station in quite a temper. And instanty he wanted to stop time and do some training to cool off, but the thought of what happened the last time he had done that were still fresh in his mind. And he would not lie to Ginny again, weather he was going to die from it or not.

As he took his shower and got ready for the day his need to stop time continued to grow. And by the time everyone was finally getting into the ministry cars that Mr. Weasley had managed to get for them all he could think about was getting to Hogwarts and stopping time to train with Ginny and Dobby.

Ron threw a small piece of paper at Harry as he was wringing his hands in an impatient manor for the car ride to be over already. "You ok Harry? Your kind of fidgety today."

"Ya, just wanna get to to Hogwarts already." Harry only gave Ron a small glance before looking to Ginny, who was in the front seat. "How about you Ginny, are you ready?"

"Don't talk to me!" she snapped at him.

Harry sighed as he looked down at his hands, which were no longer fidgeting. "Ginn-"

Before he could finish she had shot from her seat and turned to look at him. And the look she sent him made him shut his mouth quickly "I SAID DON'T TALK TO ME!" Then she turned back around and ignored him.

"Give her a little bit, she will come around." Ron whispered to him.

Looking at the back of Ginny's head he could only hope Ron was right. He really missed her a lot.

After another twenty minute drive they finally came to the station, and within minutes they were hurrying to platform nine and three quarters.

Harry tried speaking to Ginny again as her brothers were going through the barrier, but she just gave him a glare and ignored him, before running through after everyone else. Harry followed a moment after she went through. The train whistled one last time, singling the 30 second window before the train started to move and everyone quickly got aboard and did last minute waves to parents.

Harry turned around and motioned for Ron and Hermione to follow him as he started looking for an empty compartment. A small ways down he saw Ginny with another girl about her age, with blonde hair reading a very large but thin book called: The Three Headed Purple Flumpawump.

"Err. Hey. Would you mind if we sit with you?" Harry asked awkwardly. He did not want to anger her further. But he really wanted to sit with her. He missed her terribly.

Ginny turned towards the door, and slowly approached him. Then without warning she slapped him hard across the face, again.

"Ginny, I. What do I-" Harry started.

"I can not deal with you right now. Just leave." Then without waiting for a reply she shut the door in his face.

Harry swallowed a lump in his throat as he stared at her door for a second before he turned to continue on to find an empty compartment. Unfortunately Draco and his two goons were blocking their path.

"Whats wrong potter! Did your little girlfriend get mad because you did not give her enough money for her. . . Services." Draco leered.

What little control Harry had snapped in that instant. And before anyone else could even blink Harry had sent two stunners at Crabe and Goyle, then a petrification spell at Malfoy. And as they all fell to the ground he moved to kneel next to Malfoy, and leaned over him so he was speaking in his ear, and whispered so nobody else could hear him.

"If you ever talk about Ginny again, I will cut your heart out and mail it to your father. And I will make sure to preserve your body, so I can send him another body part every year as an anniversary to your death." then he angled his face so he was looking directly at Malfoy and let magic flow into his eyes, so they would glow with an eery aura for a second before letting the magic fade. "Do we understand each other?" and after talking he released his petrification spell.

Malfoy gave a terrified nod of his head. Looking as though Harry were Voldemort incarnate.

Harry cast two enervates at Mafloys large bodyguards before looking to Malfoy again. "Get out of here. Now"

"What the bloody hell did you say to him." Ron asked as Malfoy and his goons ran down the train as fast as their legs would carry them.

"Doesn't matter." Harry mumbled before heading to find a compartment.

"I can not believe your already getting in fights Harry! We have not even started our first day yet!"

Harry growled and glanced at Hermione. "I do not need your shite right now. Just leave me the bloody fuck alone!"

With tears in her eyes Hermione turned and ran the other way.

"What the hell! You bloody wanker!" Ron glared at Harry before turning to follow Hermione.

Harry turned and continued on his way, looking into compartments as he went. As he neared one he heard voices coming from within, and paused when he heard his name.

"I heard he threatened to kill Malfoy." he heard a girl.

"Doesn't change the fact that hes nothing but a little arrogant prick." he heard another girl.

Harry's anger spiked again and he threw the door open and stalked into the room. He saw there were three girls in the compartment, all were Slytherin's. He recognized Daphnee Greengrass, Tracey Davis, and he was not sure about the third.

As soon as he burst into the room all three girls jumped to their feet and pulled their wands on him. And before they could react further he had fired two stunning spells, one at Tracey, and one at the other girl he did not know, then he snatched Daphnee's wand from her.

"Give me my wand back Potter!" she snarled.

With a evil smirk he raised her wand to his eye level, then snapped it in half and threw the pieces on the ground in front of her. "There you go, ice queen." he spat at her.

Daphnee took a step back when he snapped her wand and stared at the pieces at her feet with tears in her eyes. She heard him mutter. "Have a good year." Before slamming the door as he left.

As Harry walked down the hallway he calmed himself and guilt started to weigh on him. He had snapped her wand, that was a horrible thing to do. And he had threatened to kill Malfoy as well. What was wrong with him? He was flying off the handle at the smallest of things. Just like the oath he had taken, that was way beyond what was needed.

Harry had to stop and close his eyes for a second as an overwhelming need to stop time came to him. He had been feeling urges more and more as time went on. And it was getting harder to resist the temptation.

As Harry sat and thought about everything he could only come to one conclusion. Stopping time was addicting. And he was suffering some sort of withdrawal symptoms. He really needed to talk to Ginny, and now.

Harry nearly ran to the compartment that he had last seen Ginny in, and what he saw made him raise an eyebrow. Ginny and the other girl in the compartment where having an argument. Harry opened the door.

"Ginny I need to talk to you, its extremely important!"

Ginny turned to him and glared before drawing her wand and firing a pain curse he had never heard of before

Harry doubled over and started screaming as it felt like someone had taken a fireplace poker that was red hot, and stabbed him in the stomach with it.

His screaming was interrupted as the other girl in the room used a petrification spell on Ginny.

"I think you have both been infested with Thrumdumpers. You should have Madam Pomfrey treat that before it gets any worse" and with that, she turned and exited the compartment as if nothing had happened.

Harry turned to Ginny and crawled over to her. She was petrified, but that may be for the best, he needed to talk to her without interruptions. "I am not going to remove your petrification so that I can talk to you without you hexing me or yelling at me. I am really sorry, I really want to release it. But I wont." He paused here as he brushed her face with his hand. "Your so beautiful." he whispered to her.

Harry got more comfortable before turning to talk to her again. "I think stopping time is addicting, and it has some pretty bad withdrawal effects. I think emotions are the main thing. I get angry really easy. Maybe Dobby would know?" Harry paused a second. "See that's another thing! I should have thought of that before. And the whole taking the oath that can kill me, I do not see why I would do something so dangerous! I know better than to do something like that, I read that book front to back, and I know how many people have died from making stupid oaths."

Harry paused in his talking for a minute before crawling so he was in front of Ginny's face. "I am going to release you from your petrification now." With a quick spell Ginny got up and backed away from him until her back was against the seat.

"I'm Sorry." She whispered. "I, um. I was also training in the summer. I did not mean to. We were at this tomb, and Bill was talking about these scrolls with ancient spells on them. And then I started wanted to stop time. And the more I did it, the harder it was to stop! I don't even know why I got angry at you before, it just happened. But even now, I want to curse you so bad!" she declared as she gripped her wand tightly.

Harry gulped as slowly raised her wand at him for a couple second, before growling and throwing it at him. And he could see it took a lot of control for her not to curse him.

"How long has it been since you stopped time?" he asked her.

"About a week." she growled at him.

Harry gave a slight nod. "It has only been two days for me, maybe that is why it is not as bad for me yet."

"Shut up and fix it already! This whole thing was your idea in the first place you stupid git!"

Harry Contemplated the situation for a minute before remembering Dobby. "Dammit!, I forgot about him twice now! Dobby!"

With a CRACK Dobby appeared. "Hello Harry, Ginny." Then he took in their tense bodies and in Ginny's case, an intense glare directed at Harry. "Is everything ok sir? Miss?"

"Does it look like its ok you stupid elf!" Ginny screamed at him.

Dobby took a step away from her. "Dobby bad?" he asked in a confused panicked voice.

"Dobby, does stopping time have any bad effects if you do not use it? And...is it addictive?" Harry asked.

"Dobby does not think so. I do not know all about it though. I only use it when I was first bonded to a family, and with you sir. But I have never had any problems sir."

Harry contemplated this for a moment before looking at Dobby with curiosity. "Maybe that's because your not human."

Ginny growled as she stood. "The only way we will find out is if we try it out, lets go!" and before anyone could refute her idea, she took both Dobby and Harry's hand and with a CRACK she stopped time.

As soon as Harry was there he felt his anger die, and he calmed down to normal.

"Oh Merlin!" Ginny screamed before launching herself at Harry. "I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to do it! Oh please forgive me. I'm sorry, sorry." She began to sob as she repeated her words of sorry into his shirt.

"Its not your fault Ginny. Coming here obviously has other side effects we were not aware off. We need to figure out a way to get back to normal. Dobby, can you research this some more? We will not be able to do much at Hogwarts. And I do not think we should be coming here to do any training at all. Maybe just pop in whenever we start to get angry, just to get rid of our anger so we do not arouse suspicion." Then Harry groaned. "I am going to be in so much trouble, I threatened Malfoy and stunned his bookends, then yelled at Hermione, then I broke Daphnee Greengrass's wand after I stunned her friends."

Ginny stared at him open mouthed. "Wow, I would hate to see what you would have done if it was another day or two without coming here."

"I would have killed them both." Harry stated plainly, while blushing. Normally he would not have told her that. Damn that oath. "We need to break the oath as well, I can already feel it pulling on my magic right now, just because you do not know everything."

Ginny clamped her hands together tightly. "How?"

Harry thought back to the book. "You need to release me from my oath, as it was given to you. The words needed are : I Ginevra Molly Weasley do hereby declare that any all all oaths given to me by Harry James Potter are from this moment forward terminated."

Ginny quickly repeated the phrase and a flash of light unleashed the oath that Harry had taken.

Harry grinned and pulled her into a hug. "It worked, I don't feel it anymore."

Ginny gave a quiet sob as she clung to him tighter. "I was so worried."

"We should go Ginny, I do not want to be here anymore than necessary until we find out what else could happen." Harry whispered into her ear.

Ginny nodded into his chest, not wanted to let him go yet.

Harry turned so he was facing Dobby. "Dobby, we need you to research as much as you can into this, please find as much as you can."

"Yes sir." Dobby exclaimed before disappearing with a CRACK.

Still holding Ginny tightly she restarted time.

"You didn't make any sound coming out!" Ginny exclaimed.

"Err, ya, I kinda found out how to make it silent. Same with apparating."

"That's brilliant! Can you show me how?" Ginny pleaded.

"Of course. But you cant practice stopping time like that right now. We should only do that when we really need to."

"Your right." Ginny agreed somberly.

"What spell did you cast at me earlier anyway? That hurt like crazy, and that spell was not in any books in Diagon Alley, or Knockturn Alley for that matter. I know I went through them all."

Ginny started to sob into his chest again. "I'm so sorry, I don't know why I cast that at you."

"Actually you do, we were having withdrawal, but it was not your fault Ginny, I did stupid things as well. Oh Merlin, that reminds me, I should go talk to Daphnee, I have to replace her wand, I still cant believe I did that."

"I'm sure she deserved it some."

Harry pulled away so he was looking her Ginny's eyes. "No Ginny. She didn't do anything wrong, I crashed into her compartment and her and her friends pulled their wands. Its the same thing I would have done if someone crashed into my compartment like I did. And then I just stunned her friends and broke her wand."

Ginny lowered her eyes and started to rub her hands together nervously. "Your right. It's just, well she's a slytherin. You know they call her ice queen?"

Harry sighed. "I know, I called her that as well. Please just trust me on this Ginny."

Ginny looked up at him for a full minute before giving a slight nod of her head. "Ok. Lets go." And she took his hand and pulled him out of the compartment.

"By the way, you still have to tell me about what you were learning over the summer, don't think I forgot." Harry said as he led her down towards Daphnee's compartment.

"I will" Ginny said as she followed him.

As Harry and Ginny came to the compartment they were headed to they could hear a girl crying, and other soft voices consoling her. And Harry's guilt intensified. With a resigned sigh Harry reached out and opened the door.

Sorry you leave you all at the point, but... oh well :)

I will try and post the next chapter as quick as I can. I hope some of you are feeling better about the whole Harry and Ginny problems.

So you all know, there will be even further problems with stopping time that will be found further in the story.

For those of you still wondering about Molly Weasley, there is a reason for her as well. It will be explained in the next chapter most likely, possibly the one after.

Thank you all for reading.
