The Untold Story Of Harry and Ginny

Part 33

Poppy, we need to get together sometime to talk. It's really important.

Come by my house as soon as you can. But it could be very dangerous, so don't bring anybody. Ron and Kingsley will be here to.

-Harry Potter

Poppy read this only once before he immediately turned to Janet and said, "I have to go. Emergency auror meeting. Bye."

And then he was gone.

"I'm don't know how long I'll be out," Harry told Ginny quietly.

"Well you better come back," she replied.

Harry nodded and said, "I will be."

Just then, a snap erupted from the living room. Harry and Ginny turned and walked to see who had popped in.

"Poppy, good you're here," Harry said and walked over to him.

"Yeah, is everything okay?" he wondered.

"Not really, no," Harry responded and glanced at Ginny. She was biting her lower lip and looking at them nervously.

"We have to go," Harry hurried. "Kingsley and Ron said that they'd be here by now…where are they?"

Just then, something light and shiny glowed from in front of them. Ginny walked up to Harry and stood next to him as they looked at the patronus.

"We found him," it spoke in Kingsley's voice. "Come to the bank. And hurry! We can't keep quiet for too long!"

The patronus then disappeared and the three looking at it stood there, bewildered. Ginny then looked at Harry.

"If the kids ask where I am, tell them I'm working," he said to her.

"I know," she answered. Then, without another word, Harry took her chin with his hand and brought her lips to his. Poppy raised his eyebrows.

Ginny kissed him back. Poppy sighed.

"Okay, Mr. We have to go, we should really go," he interrupted. Harry and Ginny then broke apart and Harry glared at Poppy jokingly. He raised his hands in mock surrender.

"We'll be back soon," Harry told Ginny lastly. She nodded and then watched the two of them apparate away to the bank.

"Harry, Poppy, get over here!" Ron stage-whispered to the two right after they had apparated. Harry saw Ron and ran to him, Poppy following.

"What's going on?" Harry wondered as he and Pop crouched down beside Ron.

"Kingsley's confronting Greyback," Ron explained. "He wanted me to stay here until you and Poppy came."

Harry and Poppy watched along with Ron at Kingsley and Greyback, as they circled each other.

"So you've been out all this time and you've been escaping to the woods?" Kingsley wondered as he pointed his wand at Greyback.

"Why? You thought I'd get some more bites out of people?" Greyback wondered, not afraid of Kingsley at all. "Well…you were right."

And with that, almost fifteen to twenty other people came out from behind the buildings and surrounded Kingsley. Ron and Harry and Poppy looked at this. They were around the corner of one building, but no werewolf had emerged from it.

"This is where Kingsley said that we should…probably go out and join him," Ron said. Then, the three of them walked out to the center of the circle, sneers from the others surrounding them escaping their mouths.

"Ah, look who it is," Greyback said. "Mr. Harry Potter. How's life been without the dark lord?"

"Splendid, now that you mention it," Harry replied as he eyed Greyback.

"Well your life in the press sure has died down," Greyback continued. "Just like me. But, I'm afraid you'll soon be appearing in the news with your friends here, too."

"And why is that?" Harry wondered, knowing for sure what he was going to say.

"Because, your death, of course, is one no one would miss hearing about," he finished and then seethed his teeth. The group of werewolves immediately began to run towards the four in the center.

Ron shot numerous spells going one way towards about ten that were coming towards him, but he only managed to get one.

Harry and Poppy had apparated out of the center and began stunning from behind, but this great idea didn't last all that long. Soon, there were numerous wolves coming towards them.

Hours had passed, and everyone was sweating and panting. Harry, Ron, Poppy and Kingsley had managed to defeat ten wolves within it, but soon after, Greyback began to run, and they followed him.

"What about some soup?" James wondered and sniffed. "Do we have chicken soup?"

"I think we might in the back here," Ginny replied to her sick son as she reached in the back of the cabinet and grabbed the last can.

She then poured it into the soup pan and turned on the stove. Then, she sat down across from her first born.

"Have you heard from dad yet?" he wondered. Ginny sighed and shook her head. It had been two days since Harry had left with Poppy to arrest Greyback.

"No," she answered.

"Where is he?" James wondered. Ginny looked at him. He had asked this question before.

"Working," Ginny replied, "and sometimes it takes some hard work and a few days."

And just then, a snap came from the living room area and in front of the front door was Harry, who looked like he was about to collapse. He was covered with dirt and sweat, and his eyes were half-opened.

Ginny ran to him and placed his arm over her shoulders to help his stay standing.

"Oh, you look exhausted!" she gasped at the look of her husband. He inhaled and exhaled deeply.

"There…there were twenty of them," he breathed. "We…we fought…we fought them until ten were gone and then…we chased him for 38 hours."

"Dad?" James said, looking at his father's appearance.

"Dad needs to rest for a while, Jamesie," Ginny responded for him. She walked him back to their room and placed him down on their bed. He was still panting.

"Why don't you just go to sleep for a while," she advised. Harry nodded and sat up uneasily and climbed under the covers. Ginny pulled the sheets up and then quietly walked out of the room, for Harry was already asleep.

"What happened to Daddy?" Albus wondered, seeing a glimpse of him as he entered his bedroom.

"Dad was chasing a bad guy," Ginny explained. "He's asleep now, though."

"He's really dirty," Al added. Ginny nodded.

"He is."

"When will he be awake?" Albus inquired to his mother.

Ginny shrugged and then replied, "I'm not sure."

Ginny then walked into the kitchen with Al following and poured James's soup into his bowl. James coughed once and then began to eat it.

"Oh, Jamesie," Ginny sighed, "what have I told you about wearing your coat outside when it's too snowy?"

James looked up at his mother for a moment, but then resumed eating his soup.

Ginny tiptoed into Lily's room. She turned the doorknob and inaudibly opened the door. She faintly saw Lily's side go up evenly under the sheets. She quietly walked over to her daughter and looked at her little face. She was smiling ever so slightly. This was good.

Ginny smiled, satisfied. Then, she crept back to her room and rested back down besides Harry. Harry felt the bed shift beneath him. He woke at this moment, and rolled over to look at his wife.

"Well hello," Ginny whispered just as she was pulled the covers over her. "Get a nice whole day of sleep?"

Harry chuckled and nodded, laughing at himself for being asleep for that long.

"She's finally sleeping soundly," Ginny muttered. "She has been since Greyback's been gone."

Harry smiled faintly, and replied by kissing the top of her head and then settling back in bed and falling asleep again. Ginny exhaled after taking a deep breath in; thinking about her sick son, her other solemn son, and her daughter that had her nightmares no more.

A/N: Well, I'm SORRY it took a while (or, longer than recently) to update this chaptah. Anyways, thank you all for reading and reviewing! And to answer some questions, this is the third to last chapter (I'm almost certain). There will be a lot in each of the next two, but it's the closing and I have loved the process of writing this fanfiction of Harry and Ginny. It was, by far, my most favorite fanfiction I have written so far. Next chapter coming soon!
