Disclaimer: Still don't own Harry, don't sue.
A/N: Again, thanks to all who reviewed, and esp. thanks to HermesThriceGreat (hope I spelled it right) for the suggestion, it really helped me with his chapter. I'm sorry this chapter is so short, but I promise you the next one will be longer. But this chapter was necessary to the story line. Enjoy!
Never leave me again
That night Ginny slept in Harry's room again but left at the crack of dawn so that Hermione wouldn't notice she was gone. Harry and Ron arrived at eight in the morning at the Ministry for another training session. As the previous day, they took the lift to the ninth floor and went into the same room. Kingsley arrived shortly after them ready for another day of training.
"Good to see you! So today we're going to go on to more difficult stuff. Before a witch/wizard is allowed to become an Auror they have to take a few aptitude tests. I didn't require for you two to do them because you've already had these tests in real life. You're the only people, besides Dumbledore, who faced Voldemort and came out alive. Therefore, I consider that you exceeded expectations on those tests already. But also to become and Auror it is important that you are skilled in two very important fields which are: "Stealth and Tracking" and "Concealment and Disguise". We're going to start with the latter.
"Aurors, obviously, need a headquarters. You already know about the one at the Ministry but they usually have another one for safety purposes. In case the Ministry is taken over, they need another, secret, place to meet. This is when concealment comes into play. The place, of course, needs to be protected by very powerful wards, one of these wards being the Fidelius Charm. In the past we had the Head of the Department as Secret Keeper but it became too obvious so we had to change that quickly. Now, the reason I am saying this is because the Head of the Department is the one that is required to produce this charm, in this case it is you Harry. The moment that you become Head of Department you will need to produce the charm on whoever you think would be the most able Secret-Keeper.
"The charm itself is not hard. There is a certain amount of theory that comes along with it so I borrowed a book from the Ministry library to help you with it." Harry nodded in agreement as Kingsley summoned a very thin book with a black cover entitled "So you think you can produce a Fidelius?", the author's name was absent. Kingsley handed Harry the book.
"I know the title isn't very clever but it is an amazing book, it will teach you everything you need to know about the Fidelius Charm. Now that we've covered that let's move on. Harry, do you still have that invisibility cloak of yours?" he asked.
"Yes, of course." answered Harry.
"Good, very good! It will be extremely useful while hunting down Death Eaters. You should always have it on handy in case you need to hide yourself or anyone else." both Harry and Ron nodded.
"In case you don't have one then you both need to be able to perform a powerful Disillusionment Charm. Do you both know how to perform and Disillusionment Charm?" again both Harry and Ron nodded.
"Confident about that?" they nodded again. "Very good, then let's go on to Disguise. You are both familiar with Polijuice Potion. Although it takes a month to brew it is the most useful thing in the case of disguise. You are also required to have Polijuice Potion on handy. You won't believe how useful it is to have it. With that being said, I think that we are done for today. I would start on "Stealth and Tracking" but I have to be somewhere in ten minutes so we'll go over it. Sorry that this training session was so short, but it was necessary. Harry, I expect you to have read that book by tomorrow. Don't worry, it's not very long, if you have any trouble with it ask Hermione." Harry wondered if Hermione hadn't already read that book, he would have to ask her when he got back to the Burrow.
"Same time, same place, tomorrow!" said Kingsley and left.
Harry and Ron arrived at the Burrow a few minutes past ten. Hermione and Ginny were in the backyard de-gnoming the garden. After a very passionate "Hello" from Ginny, Harry went to help both her and Hermione de-gnome. They were done with it just in time for lunch, which they spent talking about Hermione's departure the following day. Ron had finally gotten used to the fact that Hermione was a good enough witch to take care of herself and that there wasn't anything he could do to come with her.
"So, have you packed already?" asked Ginny.
"Oh, I was done packing two days ago." she answered. Harry suppressed a small laugh, that was too Hermione.
"What time is your plane?" asked Harry.
"It's at six in the morning. That's one of the reasons we are Apparating to the airport. You usually have to be there two hours before the plane leaves so that's already four and it takes another two hours to arrive there by driving so that would mean that we would have to leave at two in the morning and Mr. Weasley is not very comfortable with driving in the dark." she answered.
"So I guess we'll have to say goodbye tonight then, right?" asked Ron
"Yeah, probably, unless you want to wake up at four in the morning to do it." Hermione answered. Ron didn't look like that was something he wanted to do.
After eating lunch they helped Mrs. Weasley clean the kitchen which brought a very warm thank you from her. Harry didn't think he could ever leave the Burrow. The Weasleys were the only family he had. Plus, the more he stayed at the Burrow the more time he could spend with Ginny. But he had said he would only stay until Hermione left, so after helping Mrs. Weasley Harry went back to Percy's room to pack his things so he would be ready to leave the following day. He was interrupted, though, by a knock in the door.
"Come in!" said Harry, and Ginny came forward from the hallway smiling at him and looking more beautiful by the minute.
"What are you doing?" she asked at seeing him packing.
"Oh, I'm packing so that I'm ready to leave tomorrow." he answered.
"But you're not going with Hermione, are you? Or is this a last minute decision?" she said looking slightly upset.
"No, I'm not, I'm going back to Grimmauld Place. I told your mom that I'll stay here until Hermione leaves for Australia and since that's tomorrow, well then I guess I'm leaving tomorrow too." by this point Ginny was looking furious. Harry didn't know what he did to upset her so badly. He thought she would understand that he wouldn't stay at the Burrow forever, he had to get his own place.
"No, you're not leaving! You're staying here! What makes you think that we want you to leave?" she asked.
"Ginny, you have to understand that I can't stay here for ever. I don't want to intrude. I have to get my own place and until then I've got to go back to Grimmauld Place." he said, getting a little impatient himself.
"Harry, you're not intruding. Everyone's really happy that you're here. Mom almost begged you to stay with us. I thought you would stay until I started school. I'll really miss you Harry." she said while tears started falling from her eyes. By this point Harry was tremendously confused. He understood what it was that made her angry at him but he had no idea what he had done to make her cry. He hurried over to her and brought her to his bed and sat her down on it. He put his arm around her shoulders and she put her head on his chest.
"Ok, if it will make you feel any better, I'll stay here until you start school. But please don't cry, I really hate to see you suffer like this." he said hoping with all his might that it would help her feel better.
"It's …just….that….I …hated to see….you…leave last year…and when Hagrid brought you back…..de-….dead…I just lost it. You don't understand….how I felt Harry. Please don't leave me again!" she said and put her arms around his waist. So this was why she was crying, Harry thought. This was the first time that they ever brought up anything that had happened in the war since Fred's funeral. She grabbed him even tighter (if that was possible) as if begging him to not let go. She put his other arm around her waist and started rubbing circles on her back as she stopped crying.
"But it's over Ginny. You never have to worry about that again. I'm here now and I'm never leaving you again. And I promise that I'll stay here at the Burrow as long as you like." he said. She lifted her head and looked into his eyes, Harry looked back into her eyes which were red and puffy from crying.
"Thank you Harry! That means a lot to me!" and that was the last word he hear her say as she started snogging him fiercely.
A/N: Hope you guys liked it. I had fun writting it, especially the last part. I'm really having trouble with the Auror training for next chapter. If you guys have any ideas on what spells would help them with "Stealth and Tracking" I would really appreciate if you guys would tell me about them ideas in a review. You might have to wait a little bit more for chapter 8 cuz I'm starting school tomorrow so that might slow things down a bit. Anyhoo, don't forget to REVIEW.
