Well here is the second part. Thanks heaps for reading, for the Fav's and the Alerts. It's nice to know there are people out there that enjoyed my first piece of Fan fiction in a few years and my first HP one.
Harry finished what he had to write after a few hours. He had been helped a lot by Cassis setting him up with a dictating Quill which wrote as he talked and actually wrote exactly what he said unlike Rita Skeetars annoying magical quill that Harry and Hermione had both been tempted to break over the years.
He was just once again reading over the memories of Snape half trying to work out just how he felt about the man now, knowing that he had actually given his life to keeping Harry safe for the sake of Snape's one true love Lily. Harry was glad of one thing though. The fact Lily hadn't returned Snape's feelings he couldn't think of anything worse than having Snape as a father.
It was on this thought that Ron and Hermione entered the room.
"I'm so pleased that's all sorted out now. I can't wait to see my parents again." Hermione was saying.
"What's sorted?" Harry asked with his eyebrows raised.
"Hermione and I going to Australia to bring her parents back to England." Ron answered. "You still look tired by the way."
Harry rolled his eyes. "Yes well I worked out when you don't die from a killing curse it does actually leave a bruise." Harry tried to explain. "So are the ward's back up at the burrow yet?"
"Of course they are." Ron answered. "That took us about ten min….." Shutting up only when Hermione elbowed him in the ribs.
"They are Harry but things are a little crazy there at the moment. Everyone who has ever known the Wesley's has turned up to mourn Fred with them and we think they are probably trying to see you considering they keep asking where you are now." Hermione looked at Harry with a sorry look in her eyes. "It's not really safe there at the moment."
"What you think that there is a Death Eater related to Ron out to kill me?" Harry asked. "Maybe I should just return to Grimmauld Place. Maybe I could spend the rest of my life there being depressed like Sirius spent his."
Hermione came and sat next to Harry. "Don't be like that. We'll get you out of here soon enough, probably tonight when it's just the family at the Burrow." She said placing a hand on his arm. "You will be able to stay there for a while."
Harry nodded. "So just you and Ron are going to Australia?" He asked. Feeling like life had totally changed. Like it was just the two of them now and he no longer fit in.
"Harry it's not safe for you to go." Hermione pleaded with him. "It's hardly safe for Ron and me. We have to take guards as well. Please understand."
"Funny how we coped last year fine without guards." Harry muttered to himself.
"Hermione's right Harry, she's saved me from eating love potion chocolates already 4 times this morning." Ron admitted while his ears turned slightly red.
Hermione smiled. "You know Ron and food. He just went for it. Four times without thinking there could be anything wrong with his fan mail. Which for the most of it was fine, it just takes some sorting out."
Harry looked up at Ron. "Fan mail?" He asked.
Ron nodded. "You should see the pile you have. Of course that's just at home everything is being sorted by a Ministry official now."
Hermione nodded. "It's amazing how fast word has spread. But then again you did sleep for a whole 26 hours. I've even got some."
"More than me." Ron muttered. "Stupid blokes asking you out and writing you poetry." Taking a seat across from Harry.
"Well at least I wasn't counting them all and showing them to you while telling you just how lucky I was to have you." Hermione shot back, turning a little red.
Harry looked at Ron. "You didn't?" He had to ask wondering if his best friend really would ever learn anything.
Ron's ears turned red and he looked at the table then up at Hermione before glancing back at Harry. "Yeah, Mum and Gin sorted of pointed out how insensitive I was right after Hermione slapped me and walked out the door."
Harry shook his head. "Sorry mate, I think you deserved it." With a half smile at Hermione, who just smiled back at him before placing her head on Harry's shoulder and sticking her tongue out at Ron.
"Because that's really mature." Ron spat back at her.
Harry smiled it was nice to see that they had clearly managed to work through the argument without ignoring each other for the next few months. Maybe finally admitting their feelings for each other was going to be a good thing after all.
"So Gin's alright?" He asked looking at the table not trying to make eye contact with Ron. But ended up looking up when he noticed that neither of his best friends answered him and Hermione had removed her head from his shoulder to have a non verbal conversation with Ron who was getting redder and redder in the face.
"What?" Harry asked suddenly worried that he had missed something. Had she been injured and he hadn't known? Why was he stuck here? After all he had come back to life for her hadn't he?
"She's um a…..a little moody." Ron finally answered looking to Hermione for help. "Must be that girl time of the month….Ouch." He stopped as Hermione had clearly kicked him under the table.
"She just hasn't had much sleep." Hermione looked at Harry. "Molly's worried about her. I think she will be better when you get there."
Ron's expression changed to one of disbelief. "She says she wants to kill him."
"Well yes she's a little upset about the whole dying thing and then you disappearing again. Not that the disappearing was your fault." Hermione tried to explain.
"Yeah, Percy's in the crap for that one. Ginny's the only one not talking to him again." Ron half laughed to himself. "She must have been trying to sneak up to your doom when all she found was Percy just after he had organized the special Floo link to get you here. I reckon the whole castle heard her yelling at him. Now of course Perce, Bill and Charlie want to know what the hell is going on between the two of you, especially after her screaming for you half the night." Ron finished with a roll of his eyes then another. "Ouch." As Hermione clearly kicked him under the table again.
Harry sighed, trying to take in what Ron had just said. Thinking to himself Ron must be really tired if he just told me all that. "Screaming?" He asked turning to Hermione.
"Nightmare's that's all. She can't get the pictures of everyone dead out of her mind….especially you. I think the whole battle keeps playing in her head until she sees you in Hagrid's arms, it's at that point she wakes up." Hermione tried to explain. "As I said she'll be better when she sees you."
"Once she's killed him herself." Ron rolled his eyes. "But it has got me thinking. If you…well if you're still interested in Ginny, I suppose I'll live with it. I mean she's clearly still hung up on you, in some way." Rom mumbled the last bit looking at Harry. "Not that I would wish her temper on anyone."
"Don't you think this is a conversation for Harry and Ginny?" Hermione asked. "It doesn't have anything to do with you." She half snapped at Ron. "You know what she would do is she had just heard all you told Harry?"
Ron shivered. "Bat-Bogey?" He muttered. "Sorry."
Harry sighed. "So did Kingsley give you a time I could get out of here?" He asked now wanting even more to get back to the Burrow. He wasn't surprised Ginny was angry with him. He had been scared himself when she had been almost hit with that killing curse by Bellatrix. It was also the reason he hadn't wanted her to fight. Knowing she was safe had made it possible to fight without worrying about her.
Hermione looked at her watch. "Come on why don't we go and see how long it will take and look for some food, we missed lunch."
Ron stood at the mention of food. "Yeah, I'm hungry."
Harry pulled himself up as well, rolling up the large parchment to give to Kingsley. "How's George?" He asked.
"In his room most of time. Pop's out every now and then looking for you actually." Ron answered. "Not sure why."
Harry frowned. "Never am I." Wondering about George and why he would be looking for him.
