Harry and Jason Talk About their Families
Harry woke up in the luxurious bed and stretched. 'Wow!' he thought. 'What a dream!" One minute he'd been having terrible nightmares about Voldemort and the next, he was in a magnificent ballroom, wearing really tight green breeches, with Lionel Ritchie's 'HELLO' playing in the background. He'd danced with a beautiful red-haired woman, who had seemed very familiar. But the second he'd taken off his mask, she'd looked at him in horror and run away. Why on earth would she run away after they'd shared that electrifying kiss?
Harry thought he was about to go mad, thinking about that beautiful stranger in his dreams, when the door of his room burst open, and Jason ran in.
"The King and Queen are back from Hogwarts Harry," he said as he sat on the bed.
"Well did they say what Dumbledore was going to do about it?" Jason shook his head.
"No, but Grandma was crying, and I think Grandpa Jareth was holding back tears as well. I think something has happened to Aunt Liliannah and her family."
"Did you ever meet you Aunt and her family?" asked Harry.
"No, I didn't. No one has seen her since her wedding. My Aunt Liliannah was born here but was taken Aboveground, so that she could get the best of both worlds and let her decide what to do in her own life. Then my mum was born a year later. But Grandma and Grandpa had to return to the Underground because it was under threat of invasion. She used to call us frequently, through Grandma Sarah's enchanted mirror, but that suddenly stopped 16 years ago. That mirror, was given to Aunt Liliannah by Grandma Sarah and Grandpa Jareth as a wedding present."
"Maybe the mirror broke?" suggested Harry. "It doesn't necessarily mean that anything bad has happened."
"No, it's enchanted you see," Jason explained to Harry. "It won't break until the day that ALL of her family has passed away. So if she's had any kids, then it won't break until there are no direct descendants left."
"That's some mirror." Jason grinned slyly.
"It's also how Grandma and Grandpa used to communicate, after Grandma completed the Labyrinth and returned to the Aboveground." Harry laughed. "What about your family then? I know your parents have passed away, but what about other members of your family?" Harry frowned.
"Well I live with my mum's sister and her family, who are muggle. They hate me and I hate them. The only people I'd call my family are the Weasleys." Jason arched his eyebrows.
"As in Virginia Weasleys family? The girl who's running the Labyrinth?" Harry nodded.
"You see I met her family as I was about to board the train for Hogwarts in my first year. Her mother helped me get through onto the platform."
"Yeah, I heard about that," Jason interrupted. "You have to run through a wall or something don't you?"
"Yeah, and older twin brothers help me with my trunk. Then I met Ron, in the train compartment and we've been best friends ever since. Then there's also Hermione,"
"She your girlfriend?" Harry almost choked on his words when Jason said that.
"You crazy?" exclaimed Harry. "She's like the brainy, bossy sister, I've never had. Besides," Harry said, composing himself. "I know she and Ron like each other. They're just too afraid to admit it to themselves, let alone tell one another." Jason laughed.
"You never know."
"Well I do know. I've known both of them for almost seven years. Sometimes I just wish they'd stop arguing about petty things and kiss and make up! It gets bloody frustrating playing their go-between."
"You not worried about becoming the third wheel if they get together?" inquired Jason.
"No way," said Harry. "I'd be happy for them. If only Ron wasn't so jealous about Krum, then they'd have been together ages ago."
"Who's Krum?"
"An international Quidditch player, who took 'Mione to the Yule Ball."
"Didn't Ron ask her?" Harry laughed at the memory.
"Yeah but by then it was too late." Jason was confused.
"But if she liked Ron then why didn't she just go with him?"
"When Hermione asked her why he wanted to go with her, instead of confessing that he'd liked her for ages, he said, 'Well, you're a girl and you're not going with anyone else'! Hermione was fuming, because he'd asked her at the last minute. He had realised that we weren't gonna get dates, and the fact that he hadn't even asked her properly and assumed that she was free to go. God that was hilarious! I found his Krum action figure later with one of its arms broken off."
"So you went alone then?"
"No, but we might as well have gone alone. It was boring since neither of us could dance. Ron just sat there, glaring a Krum and Hermione all night. She'd straightened her hair that night and she was looking REALLY different, in a good way. I was quite surprised but Ron, he was gob smacked. He already liked her, but I think he fell in love with her that night."
"Seems both are as stubborn as each other," commented Jason. "So, the Weasleys and Hermione are your family?"
"Yeah, but I also think of Dumbledore as a grandfather figure and Professor McGonagall as a grandmother. I think of Hogwarts and The Burrow as my two homes. I won't have to go back to my Aunts house because I'm old enough to work in the wizarding world after I graduate from Hogwarts."
"Hogwarts sound brilliant mate," grinned Jason.
"Yeah, it is," smiled Harry.
