Chapter Five Georges Pov
" Ok can you please explain it to me once more?" He asked cautiously.
Harry had gotten out of the hospital wing a week before. We had both had the last seven days off school so I could reteach Harry everything. He had learnt really quickly, but he had always been smart, even before. He had always got his work out of the way before he had ever come to see us.
" Sure. Right so Hogwarts is the school we are at. There are four different houses going by the name of Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin. You are in Gryffindor with me, Lee and Fred. Slytherins and Gryffindors don't get on. Hufflepuff is the house of the hard working and loyal. Slytherin is the house of the sly and cunning. Ravenclaw is the house of the quick minded and Gryffindor is the brave. You get sorted by a talking hat which used to belong to Godric Gryffindor he charmed it so it can tell your personality."
" Thanks. I hope I aren't bothering you." He said cautiously as if I was going to scream at him. I wouldn't do that to him.
" Not at all."
" Can you explain Quidditch again? I don't want to disappoint Oliver when I have to play again."
" You won't."
" Please." He asked.
" Right you are on the quidditch team as the seeker who has to catch the snitch gaining 150 points for their team. The snitch is a winged golden ball about the size of a walnut. Fred and I are beaters and have bats that we hit at bludgers while are balls that are to put people off their game and we have to protect the players on our team. The quaffle is handled by the keeper and chasers. The chasers are the three girls who came to see you in your dorm yesterday. The keeper is the tall fifth year who came and saw you."
" Oliver, Alicia, Katie and Angelina."
I had brought them to see him. Oliver had been the one who had explained quidditch to Harry, but he had spoken so fast and enthusiastically that even I hadn't understood what he was talking about and I had know about Quidditch for years and years.
" That's right. We have already proved you can still fly and you caught all of those snitches and caught all the golf balls before that."
" Ok."
" Right you are also up to date on your magic."
" Good. So when Dumbledore explained to me about Voldemort?"
" Yeah he killed your parents."
" Do you know why?"
" No."
" Alright, do you think Voldemort is his real name or...?"
" I don't know Harry."
" So I live with the Dursleys." He said changing the topic quickly.
" You lived with the Dursleys."
" What about now do I stay here in the summer?"
I was about to answer when the door swung open and Mum and Dad ran through. Mum looked slightly frazzled, and I knew that Dumbledore had planned on not telling them for a while so Harry could get used to it again.
" Oh Harry." Mum exclaimed before hugging him.
He tensed for a few moments but relaxed when he saw that she wasn't going to hurt him. She smoothed his hair out as best as she could as Dad came and sat by me on the bed. He smiled at me before Mum pulled away. I had been helping him to understand whenever he had physical contact it wasn't going to hurt him. I had been teaching him before he had got amnesia and I had to just started redoing it so that he would be more comfortable when he moved in with us so that when Mum bestowed him with hugs he wouldn't feel uncomfortable. Also because I just wanted to hug him.
" So you're Mrs Weasley and Mr Weasley?" He asked politely. He looked up at them through his eyelashes and my breath caught in my throat. I had never realise how beautiful he actually was. Though he was small and unhealthily skinny he still was beautiful. He had really long eye lashes and his eyes would make emeralds jealous. His rather messy black hair lay softly curling around his ears and hiding his scar.
" That's right son." Dad said.
" You will be living with us." Mum told him.
" Thank you." He whispered surprised.
" No problem. You will be sharing a room with Percy if that's okay?" Dad told him.
" Is he the prefect?"
" That's right."
Mum and Dad had already heard about his amnesia before they had come to see us as Dumbledore had informed them so they weren't surprised when they came and saw he didn't remember anything. Percy had not yet re met Harry as he had been busy with his prefect rounds. Also though he enjoyed them, he was getting annoyed as Ron, Seamus and Dean were purposely making more work for him. I had a feeling Mum and Dad were going to speak to Ron about that.
" Now Harry can we look at your wrists?" Dad asked uncharacteristically serious.
Harry gulped. He hadn't remembered doing most of them however he had remembered doing a few of them from all the name calling and the lack of love and everything else he had received. I had seen through his memories of it. I had not seen him cutting though, and I expected it was because the bond would have expected me to be told by him or at least work it out for myself.
Sometimes I felt slightly overwhelmed with wanting to make sure Harry was okay. I would not swap the bond for anything in the world, nor want anyone other than Harry to be bonded to me but I felt like I had been thrown into me fast and I had a feeling Harry felt the same as all of a sudden he was expected to share his feelings when he never had before.
He pulled his shirt sleeves up. He was trying to hide his arms from the school although everyone already knew as Ron had spread it to some Ravenclaws and they had spread it to the Hufflepuffs who had talked loudly and some Slytherins had heard. He had a slight tear in his eye. When I had first found out what Ron wanted to do I was furious.
" Oh my poor boy." Mum cried pulling him into another gentle hug.
" I'm sorry." He whispered.
I nearly cried at how broken and childlike he sounded. It broke my heart. When Mum let go of him I took him into my arms and he didn't pull away. He just lay his head on my chest hiding his face in embarrassment. I pressed a kiss to the crown of his head, wanting the pain that I had just heard in his voice to leave him completely and never return to pain him again.
" Right we need to be going as we have to have words with Percy and Ron before we go."
" Bye." Harry whispered.
" Bye!" I called.
" See you soon. Don't forget to owl us and say hi to Fred for us." Dad said and I nodded telling him I would.
Fred and Lee were off playing a prank as they had taken it upon themselves to make Harry laugh as much as possible. They had planned their first prank to happen today at tea. Harry hadn't been told as they wanted to make it a massive surprise for him. I was laying on Harry's bed and he was laying beside me his head on my chest. His eyes kept flickering open and closed to stop himself from falling asleep. Just then there was a soft knock on the door and a few moments later Percy walked in. Harry had sat up as had I to see him. Percy sat at the end of Harry's bed and smiled at him before holding his hand out to him.
" Percy Weasley."
Harry took his hand and shook it.
" Harry Potter."
" I sat with you at the Welcoming Feast."
" Oh."
Harry seemed unsure of how he was meant to take this information. I had no idea how Percy wanted it to be taken, but then I realised there was a slight chance he was just trying to catch Harry up on facts that he no longer knew, like I had when I had to inform him that some of his dorm, most of them really, didn't like him. He wasn't that upset about it really. He had merely replied that he had never really had friends before and he did now. He was very nonchalant about it.
" So we're going to be sharing a room?"
" Yes sir." Harry replied automatically.
" You don't need to call me Sir its just Percy."
" Oh okay sorry."
" Nothing to worry about."
" Okay."
" What's your favourite colour Harry?" Percy asked.
" Blue."
" Same." Percy and I chorused.
We carried on talking for a few hours before Harry fell asleep. He had been busy the last few days with talking to Dumbledore, Hagrid, all his teachers, learning his way around the school, learning the names of people in his year and everything else he had to do. I was glad he had gone out of his way to learn the names of all the other first years even if he hadn't spoken to the Slytherins. He had made some friends in some other houses. He was starting to be good friends with Justin Finch- Fletchly, Hannah Abbott and Susan Bones. Percy bid us goodbye and I set an alarm charm for five o'clock so we wouldn't be late for dinner and snuggled closer to Harry before I too fell asleep. We woke up later to being pounced on. Fred on me and Lee on Harry making Harry jump up in fright all of a sudden and move away nervously.
" Woah Harry its okay its only me." Lee soothed holding his arms out in front of him
" Oh sorry." He said sitting back down.
I checked the time and saw that it was half past three. I yawned before getting off the bed. I put my shoes back on then sat down once more. Harry had fallen asleep with his on. He yawned sitting up fully from where he had slumped back down and got his glasses back on before turning to them as did I.
" What do you imbeciles want?" I asked in a fake haughty tone.
" Nothing dear brother. How dare you offend me so!" Fred cried.
" Aha sure."
Lee got out a pack of exploding snap and we played a few games until it was time for us to go for dinner where we entered the hall and took our seats. People were always talking about Harry but he didn't care as he wasn't afraid of anything except physical contact really. I sat beside Harry and Fred. Harry on my left and Fred on my right. The prank was going to start at half past five so that everyone would be in the hall. Harry got a bit of spaghetti Bolognese on his plate and began to eat. I took some shepherds pie as did Fred and we all began eating. Lee kicked my leg and gestured to my watch with his eyes. I checked and saw it was five twenty eight so I caught Harrys hand just in case it made him jump I didn't want him to hurt himself.
" What's up George?" Harry asked.
" Nothing Ry its just something's about to go off."
" What?" He asked worriedly.
" No its fine it's not dangerous."
" Oh okay then."
A minute later a massive bang flew through the hall making Harry squeeze my hand. I ran my thumb over it and he relaxed slightly. Fireworks lit up the air and as if by a timer everyone started hiccoughing. We had found some hiccough powder instead of belching powder in Zonkos. Only us and Harry weren't hiccoughing as we had made sure there was a portion of the shepherds pie that didn't have it in and we had gone for that one and there was none in the spaghetti Bolognese as Harry was the only Gryffindor who really ate it. Harry burst into laughter and Lee, Fred and I joined in almost immediately afterwards until Professor McGonagall came over to us looking terribly angry and she was hiccoughing as well.
" Messrs Weasley, Jordan and Potter join me in my office! Now!"
" But Professor..." I started explaining.
" Now!" She demanded.
This left us with no choice but to follow her to her office while she seemed to be near enough fuming smoke out of her ears and Harry looked worried. When we got in she drew up four stiffed back chairs and made us sit down. She glared at each of us and Harry shivered slightly, having never been on this end of her glare before and maybe because when people glared at him it never ended well.
" Why, please tell, did you do this?"
" Harry didn't!" I protested on his half.
" A likely story! Mr Weasley its good of you to try and protect your bond mate however he deserves to be punished!"
Harry shivered at her tone and I was literally growling on the inside. Oh yeah great idea say that Harry deserves to be punished just like his Uncle use to do to him before beating him. Oh that was a great idea. Harry was shaking beside me but Professor McGonagall hadn't realised. She had not known Harry was abused though. Only Flitwick and Dumbledore even knew out of the teachers.
" Mr Potter you know you deserve to be punished don't you?" She said.
" Yes ma'am." He muttered still staring down into his lap.
" But Professor it wasn't him!" Fred protested.
" Mr Weasley be quiet!"
" But Professor..." Lee began.
" Do none of you understand what be quiet means?"
" We do." We all chorused.
" You deserve to be punished."
" Yes ma'am." Harry said.
" Yes Professor." We all said.
" Right then you will be informed of your detentions. Go!"
We left the room and traipsed up to the common room. Harry had finally stopped shaking and we were all thinking about how unfair it was that Harry was going to be punished as well as us when he hadn't done anything. We collapsed onto the sofa and I pulled Harry onto my lap running my fingers through his hair, and pressing a kiss to his cheek and he blushed badly.
" Harry I'm sorry." I whispered into his hair.
The common room was empty as most people had gone to bed and I was in the room with just Harry as Fred and Lee had gone up incase Harry was angry at me and they knew that we would want to be alone for a little while. I hoped he wasn't angry at me. I didn't want him to be. I pressed another kiss to his cheek before burying my face into his neck.
" Its okay."
" But now you have a detention." I said.
" Its just one detention."
" I guess."
" Well I'm off to bed I'm tired."
" Okay night." I said.
" Night." He replied before I walked upstairs to the third years dorm I looked back once to see that he was still sitting on the couch but he didn't look unhappy so I continued walking up the stairs.
