Part 2 of Nightmare of Midnight.
Prologue.
Harry watched from the other side of the window, frustrated at the single drop of water he had been able to produce. Ever since the day he woke up, and left the Midnights, he had been able to get a small part of his power unblocked again. Mainly, he had been able to produce wind and fire, but, as the curse Voldemort had placed in him still hadn´t worn out, he still wasn´t able to use all of his old power; and he felt frustrated. More frustrated than ever.
Behind him, his team – his family – was relaxing (something they hadn´t been able to do since they started being the Lightning.)
Some of them, like Blaise, Draco and Neville were watching the television. Hermione and Ron were – of course – kissing, and Luna and Ginny were talking quietly, but excitedly about weird species of animals.
Harry sighed as he looked around him, turning around in his chair, so that his back was the one that was now towards the window.
His eyes glanced at each one of his companions, and stopped at the sight of the two who were furthest away from him – Remus Lupin and Sirius Black.
He admitted it, he had been wary of going to them, at first. But now, he knew it had been the best decision he had made in a long time.
The two Marauders continued chatting, oblivious at their best friend´s son´s glance at their direction.
They seemed worried about something.
Harry turned now to look briefly at the window, before sighting and walking towards his girlfriend, Ginny. Even though he had called her Flame since the day they had met, she had been (as everyone else) very glad when he decided to use his real name, and so, the next day from their escapee from the Headquarters; she had declared that she was to be called Ginny again.
Not Ginevra, though. She hated the full name, and, in her opinion, was terrible.
Harry was happy with calling her Gin.
Their situation at the Midnight´s Headquarters, and the fact that nearly half of his team was starting to talk with each other´s given names, made him feel kind of sad.
This wasn´t what he had wanted.
This was not supposed to happen.
Harry closed his eyes, and bowed his head, knowing that if given the chance again, he would have helped his twin each time – he still would have gone to Hogwarts.
He couldn´t help it, he supposed he had been developing a 'Big-brother's sense', something that made him want to give everything for his twin.
Or maybe it was just a twin´s connection?
The former Midnight shook his head, trying to clear it. He felt a hand on his shoulder, and saw Ginny there, offering the comfort only she could give to his troubled mind.
"It will be alright," she said softly.
Harry looked at her, emerald eyes pained, unfocused.
"How can someone forget – forgive betrayal?"
Ginny´s face turned pained for a second before answering.
"We can´t," she said. "but that doesn´t mean we have to give up."
Harry stayed quiet for a while, trying and achieving in recovering a bit of his normal personality. He was ready to fight back.
"And who said we are going to give up?"
