Lets Get Back
The garden of The Burrow was all set for the wedding, decorated in white roses and lavenders. A massive tent stood amidst the sea of flowers. Inside the tent were rows of chairs with bouquets of roses along the aisles. Everybody was dressed in his or her finest attire.
As the music started playing, Ginny and Fleur's cousin walked down the aisle first. Harry noticed how Ginny looked. Her purple gown was trimmed in white with hints of gold. It ruffled at the bottom and hugged her hips it was slightly off the shoulders and showed off her back. Harry just sat there; he could not believe this was Ginny. His memories of her were, her wearing a jumper or her Hogwarts robes. He had not thought about her all dressed up. There was the one time he saw her at the Yule ball, but nothing compared to this. He smiled at her she was so beautiful.
Through most of the ceremony, Harry's head swarmed with voices, thoughts, and emotions. He had to focus on Bill and Fleur or Ginny, so he did most of his focusing on her. He loved looking at her anyhow, and probably would have done so regardless.
Harry sat there as Bill and Fleur took their vows. Everyone was so happy for the couple. Mrs. Weasley was of course wiping her tears of joy away, and smiling as brightly as he had ever seen her smile. With the rings and the "I do's" Bill and Fleur kissed. She was now officially a Weasley. Everyone stood clapping, as the couple made their way down the aisle and out into the garden. Everyone slowly followed out of the tent.
"Harry while they are getting the photos done, would be a good chance to talk" Harry turned around; it was Remus' voice he heard. Moody was standing right beside Remus.
"Yeah, I think so too" Harry said, "I will catch up in a few Ron." Ron just shrugged and headed over to Hermione.
The three headed over to a quiet spot just outside the garden, nobody had said a word while they walked. "So did anyone tell you about my dream?" Harry turned around to find Alastor Moody giving him a puzzled look.
"Yes Harry, Arthur filled us in when we arrived" Remus quickly said then looked over to Moody "What is it Alastor?"
Moody's eye spun wildly "I can't really say" he pulled out his flask taking a drink. "I can tell you there is something about Potter I have never seen before. It's not dark it's just the opposite. I think Harry's dream wasn't a dream, but an experience or sorts." Moody looked back over to Harry, "Potter I want to try something."
"Legilimency." Harry said
"Uh yeah did you know that or were you guessing?" Moody now looked at Harry with a look of nervousness.
"I new you were thinking it" Harry was feeling bad for reading the Aurors thoughts. "I am sorry."
"Harry why don't you head back to the party, Remus will catch up in a minute" Moody gestured for Harry to go "We will talk in a couple days." Harry did not think twice about it and headed back to the tent.
"Why did you send him away Alastor?"
"I am always using Occlumency Remus; it is a force of habit. Harry saw right through that. I could feel him reading my thoughts." He took another swig from his flask.
"That's impossible" Remus said, "How could Harry do that? He is bad enough with Occlumency and even worse at Legilimency."
"I am going to go say good night to everyone and head to The Ministry for some research I will see you tomorrow Remus." He spun around on his good leg and left leaving Remus standing there.
Harry was already inside the tent. Everything had been re-done inside with several round tables all set up and a large dance floor in the middle of the tent. There was a small stage where a band was already playing and people sitting all around waiting for the wedding party to come back inside. Hermione waved to Harry motioning for him to join Ron and her. He went and sat in the seat next to her. A place card read:
Harry Potter
Harry looked around there were place cards for everyone, the one to his right had Ginny's name on it.
"How are you feeling Harry?" Ron asked
"I am fine mate" Harry looked over at him "I think Moody is disturbed with me at the moment."
"How come Harry?" Hermione inquired
"I think I read his thoughts and it spooked him"
"That's impossible, Moody always uses Occlumency," she was protesting
"Yeah I know that, except Moody acted strangely after the fact."
"Harry, just relax and we will figure all this out come morning." Hermione was starting to stand up as the newlyweds re-entered the tent. "Stand up you too" she pulled Ron up by his collar.
Ginny Followed close behind Bill and Fleur, then headed over to the seat next to Harry. "Ginny you look amazing" Harry told her
"Thanks, do you really like it?" She was starting to blush from Harry's comment.
"Like it? I love it. Who would have thought that little Ginny Weasley cleaned up so well" he joked to her.
She elbowed him in the ribs. "Watch it you"
After the toast was made and dinner was eaten, the bride and groom began to dance. Harry new Ginny had to dance at least one dance with Fleur's cousin, then she was all his. Although he knew he would have to dance with her, he did not seem to mind. As the evening started to wind down, Harry and Ginny both decided to take a walk. "Harry did you get to talk to Remus tonight?" Ginny asked.
"Oh yeah, I kind of freaked out Moody in the process. He wants to talk to me tomorrow about some things." Ginny did not say a word. Harry continued "I um I need to tell you something else that has happened to me"
"What's that Harry?"
"After Madam Pomfrey was done with me she handed me my glasses" he paused
"Yeah we took them off after you passed out" she stated to Harry.
"I didn't realize they were off until then." He slipped off his glasses and his vision blurred then corrected itself as before. "Ginny I can see perfectly fine either way." She just stood there trying to think of an explanation, but had nothing. You know I have never been able to see the tip of my nose without them" she nodded in silence. "Is this good or bad? I can read peoples thoughts and my vision adjusts regardless."
"I think its good Harry. I mean if your dream is true then you will probably have more things change." She started to sit down under a large tree. Harry sat beside her. "Don't you think so?"
Harry nodded, "I have not used any magic today. I am going to try to figure this out tomorrow, for tonight I just want to stare at you." He leaned over and gave her a kiss on her forehead.
"Harry, I am so glad to have you back. It has been torture not having you with me. The uncertainty of not knowing if I would ever hold you again was un-bearable. I am glad you came to your senses, ya prat" she chuckled.
'"Me too Ginny, Me too" the two just sat there enjoying each other's company a kiss here and there, just holding each other. The music had soon stopped and everyone had left. It was a perfect evening Harry though to himself.
--
"Harry it's time to get up" Ginny was sitting at the edge of Harry's bed shaking his shoulder. "Come on Harry wake up Remus is waiting for you"
"Remus is here already?" Harry began to reach for his glasses but felt it was unnecessary. He looked at the clock "9:30 already"
"Yeah sleepy head, get you arse up" she said pinching Harry's bum.
"Why Ginevra Molly Weasley!" he said with a chuckle "Where did that language come from?"
"Oh get off it Harry" she now was poking his chest in a playful manner. I will see you later, Mum, Hermione, and I are going to return my dress and maybe do some shopping. You know girly things" She leaned over and gave him a kiss, which Harry gladly returned.
"See ya love" Ginny left the room. Ten minutes later Harry came down the stairs and went into the kitchen to see Mr. Weasley talking to Remus. "Morning Harry" Remus was smiling at him. "Morning Remus, morning Mr. Weasley" he nodded at the two men.
Remus stood up and walked over to Harry "We are going to have breakfast at The Three Broomsticks in Hogsmead. Is that ok?"
"That will be just fine Remus" He looked at Arthur "I will see you later Mr. Weasley"
"See you soon Harry."
"Are we traveling by floo?" Harry asked Remus.
"I will apparate us both to Hogsmead" Remus replied
The two disappeared with a "pop." Harry and Remus were just a couple blocks from The Three Broomsticks. "Harry I wanted a couple minutes to talk to you before we meet Alastor. I know this is all a little confusing for you." He hesitated, "It is confusing to all of us."
Harry looked at him "You spoke to the Order about it." Harry quickly clapped his hand over his mouth as Remus just looked at him. "Sorry, I keep forgetting and it just happens"
"It's alright Harry I understand." Remus looked away and changed the subject, since Harry already knew what he was going to say next. "So Harry you will be of age in a couple weeks? What would you like for your birthday?"
"You don't have to get me anything, however I have been meaning to ask you, since I will be of age, do you think anybody would mind if I moved into Grimmauld Place?"
"Harry you know Sirius left that house to you and it is yours to do what you want with it" Remus held open the door "here we go Harry, inside"
There were a few tables and the place was empty except for moody sitting at a table with Professor McGonagall and Nymphadora Tonks. Everyone welcomed him as he and Remus sat down. "Hungry Potter?" McGonagall asked him
"I could eat," he stated even thought he was not that hungry.
"Last night did you really know what I was thinking?" Moody questioned
"I Er I think so. I felt really bad about it"
"Pay that no mind Harry." Moody continued, "We are all going to use Occlumency and see if you can do it again. Do you mind?"
"No I don't mind" he said, "I would like to see what all I am capable of anyhow"
"Ok Harry" Tonks said what am ..."
Harry interrupted her "you are thinking you wish your food would get here because you are starving and you also wished you had ordered extra bacon."
Tonks sat there with a blank look on her face. Harry continued "Moody is starting to think either I am a nutter or he is losing his mind" Harry looked at Remus and smiled "Remus is…" he stopped, Remus started blushing knowing Harry knew he liked Tonks and did not want her to know yet. Harry just winked at him "Remus is wishing he had some tea" Remus smiled and looked away. "Shall I continue Professor McGonagall?"
"No Harry I think we get the point." She said
Tonks tapped Harry on the arm "Hey Harry, have you been able to do anything else"
"Like what?" Harry asked her.
"Can you reverse it and let us know what you are thinking?" Remus added
Harry shrugged "I don't know I haven't tried." He looked over at Moody and imagined his own thoughts reaching out towards him. Harry thought about his parents.
Moody looked at Harry with sympathy, something Harry had never seen from Moody before. "Harry was thinking about his parents, is that right Harry?"
"Yes sir," Harry stopped thinking
They continued to talk as they ate and Harry told them about the dream he had as well as not needing to wear his glasses, although he rather liked them and would probably keep wearing them. As they were about through with their meal, Harry spoke up telling them about something that was bothering him. "I have not used magic since I am still under age but would like to try a few things."
Professor McGonagall looked at Alastor "would you and Remus have the time to work with Harry in the evenings if I get it Ok'd with the ministry? I will tell them Harry requested some extra tutoring"
"I would be glad to" Moody looked over at Remus "How about you?"
"I am here to help in any way" Remus smiled.
"Well that's settled. I will owl you in a couple days to let you know what The Ministry has said." McGonagall was now standing prepared to leave.
"Harry what…" Tonks started to ask Harry what she was thinking.
He began to laugh then cut her off "I will Tonks, you take care too."
Harry and Remus said "bye" to Moody and left The Three Broomsticks. There was not much conversation until they got down the road about a block when Remus stopped Harry "How are you feeling?"
Harry shrugged "I am feeling good actually, like for the first time in my life I have an advantage over things." Harry knew what Remus was about to say but let him talk.
Remus smiled "Just don't let your head get too big. If you do that's when you could make a mistake."
"I know Remus; I am still just Harry Potter." He looked away "that is the way I want it."
"Harry, someday you have to come to terms with the fact, you are special. No matter what you will always be you. Come Harry lets get back."
