AN: Hey it's been a while since updates, I'm sorry about that, however it might be longer before the next update. At the moment I am very unwell and I don't know when I'm going to be better. I have to rush this chapter while I have the motivation to deal with it. I'm sorry if there are mistakes, but my lack of ability at the moment might be shining through. I'll upload next when I can. These have been a few stressful weeks and have thrown my future and health into doubt quite a bit. I shall update when I can, I'm sorry.

Please read and review.

Chapter Six Fred's POV

I walked into the room where they were all sat in different groups. Lee was sat with Katie and Leanne while Angelina and Alicia were sat talking in a corner. I walked over to Katie and Lee first.

" I need to speak to Katie and Lee." I said.

" Is it important?" Katie asked looking at Leanne.

" Very."

" Sorry Leanne I'll be back in a few minutes."

" I will go and see my cousin." She said.

" Who's her cousin?"

" Cormac McClaggen hes in the year below us."

" Alright."

I then walked over to Angelina and Alicia and pulled them upstairs as well. We all sat in our dorms and I paced trying to think of the right words to say. I had no idea how to say it.

" First Angelina you're going to need a new seeker and beater or make that two."

" Why?"

" Harry's not in any state to be playing Quidditch for a while and George won't leave him and I've never played Quidditch without George."

" Whats the matter with Harry?" Katie asked.

" Well for one Umbridge was using a blood quill on him."

" That cow!" Lee said fuming.

" And Lucy was under the imperius curse and has drilled somethings into Harry's head making him sort of out of it. A stress disorder. Hes not responding at the moment."

" Is he going to be okay?" Alicia asked.

" Madam Pomfrey said that he will but be more clingy to his friends."

" We'll be there for him." Katie said while everyone nodded.

" I have a seeker in mind already. I made her back up seeker in case something happened." Angelina said.

" Who?" I asked.

" Ginny."

" Ginny?"

" Yeah."

" Since when was she good at quidditch?"

" Apparently shes been sneaking all of your brooms out since six and Harry taught her after his second and before fourth year."

" Oh. That explains it."

" Yeah."

" Can we go and see him?" Lee asked.

" I don't know come on."

We made our way to the hospital wing and Mum and Dad were just leaving. Mum placed a kiss to my head and Dad clasped my shoulder before they left. We walked into the spare room. George was sat staring at Harry sadly.

" Hi." Lee said.

" Hey guys."

" How is he?" I asked.

" Not so good. They decided to release one damper tomorrow and said it would more than likely make him speak again."

Katie went and gave George a hug and he cried into her shoulder. I never really saw George cry since Harry's second year or when the bond was stretched and before that when we were six and he fell off his broom and broke his leg. She rubbed his back soothingly until he pulled away and grimaced sort of embarrassed.

" Sorry." He whispered.

" No problem."

George turned back to Harry and stroked his hair slightly. Harry's eyes flickered closed and George continued his actions and we slipped out smiling at George. I decided to stay at last minute and went back in.

" It will be okay George."

" He will be fine and even if hes not I will never leave him."

" You're good for him."

" Hes good for me as well."

" He is."

George stared at Harry and I went and went to sit by George on the chair near the bed. He smiled at me sadly before looking at Harry. I took the seat on the other side of the bed five minutes later wanting to be able to see both of them.

" I'll be back later." I said.

" Night Fred."

" Night George."

George's POV

The next day Fred came and they released a damper. Harry blinked when it was realised and turned to me and clung onto me. I picked him up and placed him on my lap. Madam Pomfrey and Dumbledore nodded satisfied that what they had wanted had been done.

" Harry?"

" Gie?"

" That's right. Georgie."

" Georgie."

" Yeah."

He hugged me tight and I kissed his hair. He lifted his head slightly and stared at Fred before blinking. He frowned.

" Fre?"

" Fred."

" Fred."

" Yeah."

He placed his head back in my chest and I messed about with hair slightly. He sighed hugging me closer. Fred smiled before slipping out promising he would come back later with Katie and Lee more than likely.

" How you feeling Ry?"

" Er...slightly sad." He said confused.

" I've got you. I'll never leave you Ry."

" Really?"

" Really."

" Thank you."

" Its my pleasure."

" Oh."

" Do you need to sleep?"

" I don't know."

" Why don't you rest your eyes and see then."

" Okay."

" Night Ry."

" Night Georgie."

He snuggled down and I smiled stroking his hair. He batted his head against my hand slightly like before and his breathing evened out and he fell asleep. I held in my arms trying to comfort myself that he would be fine.

A week later another damper was taken away and he didn't change all that much though he had cried when it had first been taken off. Madam Pomfrey came in and told us that Professor Umbridge had found out.

" Harry?"

" Yes Madam Pomfrey?" He asked softly.

" I think you can move back to Gryffindor's boys seventh year dorms but I think you and George would get benefit if neither of you went to classes for a while and have homework delivered to you."

" Okay."

" Good we are going now while everyone else is in class."

" Alright."

We packed up the few things in his hospital room and left and walked to the Fat Lady she smiled at Harry and I said the password (mimbulus mimbletonia) and we walked up to the dorms bidding goodbye to Madam Pomfrey. We walked in and sat down on the bed and I took a fictional book Hermione had lent me out and began reading it to him.

Fred and Lee came in a few hours later and smiled before handing over some homework for us. Harrys had come from Hermione who had passed it on to Fred. Harry took his quill out and chewed on the end before dipping it in the ink and began working. I smiled before starting on mine. Lee and Fred sat on Freds bed discussing it with me.

We did the transfiguration and charms easily as well as herbology. The potions proved to be slightly difficult. All three of us sat staring at the paper not knowing what aconite was really. Harry leaned over and looked at the paper.

" Aconite is a plant that can also go by the names monkwood and wolfsbane. Its used in the wolfsbane potion. It helps a werewolf keep their mind in the full moon. A werewolf has to take it every night for a week before the change. By retaining their mind they know not to attack. This makes the wolf more human. The potion is quite new." Harry told us.

" Where do you know that from?"

" I read." He commented.

" Oh."

" Also if you add sugar to the potion it makes it useless. If you aren't a werewolf and take it, you will get a fever and stomach ache and will need to have your stomach pumped. If you don't it can make you delerious. The potion also smokes and even when its been drunk the goblet will still smoke."

" What else do you know?" Lee asked.

" Er...it was invented by Tony Belby. His nephew is in Ravenclaw hes a sixth year at the moment. Marcus Belby. I think it was created in the year 1985."

" Brilliant."

" Its in a book that I read on important discoveries."

" Brilliant." I echoed Lee.

We wrote down most of the information Harry told us excluding the bit about Marcus Belby and making it more long winded. I thought it was pretty good. We then took out our history of magic essay and turned to look at Harry whos mouth tweaked slightly which was the closest he had come to a smile.

" What do you know on goblin wars?"

" Goblin wars began when witches and wizards refused to let goblins carry wands. They believed it was unfair and started the rebellion. I think the first rebellion was 34 BC or the wizarding equivalent of BC."

" BC do you mean B?" Fred asked.

" B?"

" Before."

" That's it more than likely."

" Great what do you know on goblin artefacts?"

" Goblins believe that when a witch or wizard buys a goblin made artefact be it a sword or a piece of jewellery they believe it to be borrowed from them and when the person dies they believe it should belong to them. They hate to see it passed under their noses as they want it for themselves."

" What are goblin legends on the sword of Gryffindor?"

" They believed it once belonged to another goblin. Gornuk I think it was. However apparently Gryffindor stole it from Gornuk. There is nothing in our history to say that is true or whether or not or if Goblins just made it up so they could have a claim on the sword."

We wrote all that down as well.

When we were done Harry fell asleep. It was nine so I joined him yawning and snuggling up to him. He sighed slightly relaxing. I still hated the fact that Lucy had said all those things to him even though I knew she was under the imperius curse. Nothing could be done about Nott putting her under it as Fudge would never believe it whether she tested under veritesereum or not.

When I woke up the next morning was to see Harry staring at me. I pressed a kiss to his nose and he squirmed slightly. He lay back down and I wrapped my arms around him. Madam Pomfrey had been right to say he would be slightly clingy but none of us minded one bit.

He lay down and I pulled him close to me and he smiled slightly. He hadn't really been able to smile since most of hid emotions were locked away but he could sort of smile and I knew that he really did want to smile and it made up for it. An owl flew in and I looked and saw it was carrying a newspaper.

I flicked through it until I came to something of consequence.

TRESPASS AT THE MINISTRY

Sturgis Podmore, 38, of number two, Laburnum Gardens, Clapham, has appeared in front of the Wizengamont charged with trespass and attempted robbery at the Ministry of Magic on 31st August. Podmore was arrested by Ministry of Magic watchwizard Eric Munch, who found him trying to force his way through a top-security door at one o'clock in the morning. Podmore, who refused to speak in his own defence, was convicted on both charges and sentenced to six months in Azkaban.

" Sturgis Podmore? The name rings a bell."

" He's part of the order and was meant to see us off to the train station." Harry muttered.

" That's right. What the hell was he doing in the Ministry at one o'clock on a morning?"

" Order work more than likely."

" Yeah."

A couple of days later we went back to Madam Pomfrey who was pleased with Harry's progress and said that we could release a few instead of one that day and he should be alright to go back to classes. She released four dampers and then sent us back to the dorms saying to start classes on Monday again.

" How're you feeling Ry?"

He burst out crying. I ran over and wrapped my arms around him as he cried into my shoulder and I pressed kisses to his head. He relaxed into my arms slightly but it took a while for him to stop crying. When he did he pulled back and blinked at me.

" Was Lucy right do you hate me?"

" No Ry. Never could I hate you. I love you."

" Promise?"

" Promise."

" I love you too Georgie."

I smiled and hugged him tightly to me. He fidgeted around until he was behind me and started messing about with my hair and I sighed laying back as he did so. He smiled and ran his fingers through it and I could clearly see just how relaxing it really was when I did this to Harry.

I eventually fell asleep with my head in his lap and with him running his fingers through my hair.

Fred's POV

Lee and I walked back into the dorms with Katie joining us before we reached the top. We walked into the dorm and George was asleep with Harry running fingers through his hair. We all smiled and began doing our homework except for Katie who went and started talking to Harry.

Katie's POV

" Hi Harry."

" Hello Katie."

" How are you?"

" Good I had four dampers off today instead of one. How are you?"

" Good just got back from lessons and have been talking to Lee and Fred."

" Sounds good."

" When are you going back to lessons?"

" On Monday."

" Are you looking forward to it?"

" Not defence against the dark arts or potions but everything else yes."

" Yeah Umbridge and Snape aren't the best of teachers."

" You never did say what do you want to be when you grow up?"

" I want to be transfiguration teacher. Dumbledore will retire whenever meaning McGonagall will be in charge. So they will need a teacher. What about you Harry?"

" Charms teacher. Last year Flitwick offered to take me on as an apprentice when I leave."

" That's wicked."

" Yeah."

" We'll take over the school right Harry?"

" Definitely."

" Professor Bell or Jordan depending on whether or not I am married at that point. Then there will be Professor Potter."

Lee walked over and he shared a look with Harry and Harry moved to the side slightly and got something from his trunk and I realised it was a camera and he got off the bed. Lee knelt down on one knee and pulled a ring box out and Harry snapped a photo.

I stared at it surprised and Harry took another photo. By this point George was just laying asleep on the bed and Fred was stood next to Harry. Lee looked right into my eyes holding the ring and forgot all about Harry snapping the photos and stared into his.

" Katie Anna Bell will you marry me?" He asked.

" Yes."

I ran over and hugged Lee and glitter fell from the ceiling and balloons rose up and Fred and Harry high fived each other. He twirled me around and Harry was still taking photos. When we had finished glitter was still raining down and Harry turned to look at Fred.

" I didn't know how much to use so I took all eight bottles she had and used all of them." He said.

" Yeah its not like Ginny's going to notice all eight bottles are missing."

" She will think its romantic."

" Yeah and you are going to have to pay for new bottles."

" Oh well."

" Lee I'll print the photos out soon. I still never managed to get around to printing George and I's photos so I'll do that at the same time more than likely."

" Thanks guys."

" What happened?" George asked waking up.

" Ooops." Lee said.

" Er..." I said.

" Well... Harry will tell you." Fred said running away.

Lee and I walked hand in hand back to Lees bed.

" So what happened Harry?"

" Well you just missed it. Right next to where you were sleeping Lee proposed to Katie." I heard Harry say.

" I was going to propose earlier but it took a while for your dad to get back to me."

" What has my dad got to do with this?"

" I was asking him for his permission."

" Thanks Lee."
