Well here's the next part I have been busy, once you have read this part you can jump to my companion piece and read about George's visit with Angelina. You will find it under my profile called 'Near death was all it took.' Which probably is a crappy name by hey.
Please enjoy and review.
Grimald place was clean, and tidy when Harry and the Weasleys arrived. The Auror's had even managed to stop the Dumbledore ghost like thing springing up when they entered and Kreacher had managed to charm the curtains over Mrs Black's portrait to stay shut. This Elf magic was something that was really starting to interest Harry. He starting to feel a little like Hermione that they weren't treated well at all.
Kreacher was there with biscuits and tea for everyone, telling Molly what he had prepared for dinner.
Molly relaxed quite a lot commenting. "I think this might be just what I need. I little time to relax."
Arthur had nodded his head commenting to me. "Thank you Harry, for putting us all up."
Which Harry just answered with slight smile. "It's not like you guys haven't put up with me for the last 7 years or anything."
"You know Harry this place isn't half bad now it's clean. I reckon it would be worth a fare bit as well. It's not easy to find magical properties in central London." Charlie said looking around the main living space. "I had no idea there you got so much light."
Percy had nodded his head, this being his first time to number twelve. "Yes, if you sold this place I would say it would set you up for life."
Harry just shrugged his shoulders. "I haven't decided what to do with anything yet. It's Kreachers home."
"Well it's always a thought. If you didn't want to live here, you know considering its past." Arthur added nodding his head towards some of the Black family things that were still in the room. "I also have to say Harry, Molly and I will help out with the expenses while we are all here. It's not a cheap thing to feed the Weasley boys."
"No, you won't be." Harry answered a little frustrated. "After all you've done for me I wouldn't dream of it."
"Now Harry. We won't be a financial burden to you. I know Hermione and Ron think they have a lot of money coming in with the posters and what not's being sold. But that is for your future." Molly told Harry in her don't argue with me voice. Harry could imagine George sitting in the corner laughing at his parents thinking I needed money after what Gringotts had told us the other day. But he was upstairs still beside himself with the news of Angelina. Ginny and Hermione were up there with him.
"Don't worry Mum, Harry would tell me if he couldn't afford it." Ron piped in from where he was eating what Harry was sure about his sixth biscuit.
"And I can afford it." Harry stated hoping that would be the end of it. But when Molly started to protest again he looked to Bill for help.
Bill just nodded his head at Harry. "Mum, remember where I've worked for the last few years. Harrys fine and if you think you're in anyway going to convince him to take your gold I can tell you right now it's not going to happen."
Molly huffed, but nodded her head. Taking a sip of her tea and another biscuit.
Arthur just nodded at me, with slightly raised eyebrows. "Well then thank you again."
Harry just ignored the look of interest Percy was giving me after Bill's comment.
But he was even more pleased that Kingsley hadn't insisted they all go to Potter Manor. He knew there was a lot more room there. Infact he imagined everyone could have had their own set of rooms and still had room to spare from what he had been told. 'Think of one of England's largest stately homes and you'll be close to Potter Manor.' Was what he had been told at Gringotts. Harry still wasn't sure quite how he was going to break that news to Ron, let alone the entire family. Not to say Ginny, just how do you tell your girlfriend? 'Hey not only am I famous for surviving the Killing Curse twice but I'm also one of, if not the richest Wizard alive.'
They couldn't get George to come down for Dinner, and as yet Hermione and Ron hadn't approached Harry with a plan to get him to St Mungo's. He was thinking on this when Kingsley stepped out of the fire place and into the dining room.
"Ahh, you're all here." He started then looked around again. "Oh, George still not feeling well? I've got some news for him and the plan for tomorrow to discuss with you all. Got enough dinner for me? I haven't eaten since breakfast."
"Sure. Kreacher another plate please." Harry called. "What's the news on Angelina?"
Kingsley nodded taking a seat and the plate from Kreacher who had appeared next to him, and starting to fill it from the large spread of food in the middle of the table. "Much better, they've managed to repair her heart and even give her a potion that's helped her lungs a lot. She's breathing on her own and even came around for a little while. They say her lungs will never be quite what they were, but she should go on to lead a normal life." He said before picking up a fork and starting to eat.
"Great, I'll go and tell George." Ginny had jumped up from beside Harry. Then stopped. "Do you have a time yet I can tell him he can go and see her?"
Kingsley nodded his head and finished his first mouthful. "All things going well at the Memorial service tomorrow and we should be able to spare a few Auror's to take him and a couple of you in tomorrow evening. But only if we don't have anything happen like we did today." He paused and shook his head. "Then I'm not sure."
Ginny just nodded before leaving the room. Harry looked back at Kingsley. "I would like to see her as well. She was on the same Quiditch team as me for 5 years."
Kingsley frowned. "I'll see what we can do. Now Harry I need to ask you. Is it true you have some sort of magical map of Hogwarts that can tell you who and where anyone in the grounds is even if they've drunk Polly Juice Potion? Remus mentioned it once when we were worried for your safety."
Harry nodded his head. "My Dad, Sirius and Remus made it when they were at school. George and Fred got it from….." harry stopped thinking he probably shouldn't tell Molly that they stole it from Filch. "I'm not sure where they got it, but they gave it to me in my third year."
Kingsley nodded. "Right well we are going to need it tomorrow. Could you possibly lend it to one of my team? You and I are going to be needed to be seen and that everything is fine and normal. We've set it up that no one can enter but through the front gates which should mean we can stop anyone suspicious there."
Hermione nodded her head. "It's good no one can apperate into the grounds. What about flying in?"
"Yes Miss Granger we have worked that one out as well." Kingsley looked at her down the table. "Have you ever thought of being an Auror?"
"Oh no, that's what Harry and Ron want to do, but I'm more interesting in the rights of magical creatures." She answered off hand.
Kingsley looked at Harry as if in a fresh light. "Yes, McGonagall did mention something about that. We will have a little talk once all of this memorial stuff is over."
Harry felt small under his gaze. Wondering just what the latest Minister of magic was thinking about his job aspirations. "Sure whatever." Harry nodded starting to wonder if he really was going to get the summer he had dreamed of just hanging with my best friends.
It seemed everyone headed to bed early. Well Harry had to admit he had no idea where Ron and Hermione were, and he wasn't totally sure he wanted to know either. But Ginny and Harry were left sitting on the couch alone by Charlie after everyone else had said good night with a warning not to stay up to late.
"Yes Dad." Ginny quipped as Charlie left the room then turned to Harry and added. "Did I ever tell you having 6 older brothers is like having 7 Dads?"
Harry shook my head. "No, but I'll admit to being more nervous about how your brothers would react to us dating than your father."
"I'm a little surprised you even came back interested in getting back together. Especially after Ron chewed you up on your birthday last year after he caught us kissing." Ginny half questioned Harry.
"How did you know about that?" He asked surprised. Remembering just how that kiss had made it almost impossible for him to leave her at all.
Ginny blushed slightly. "Well…..I….I didn't think I had given you quite enough to remember me by….so Hermione told me about Ron lecturing you to stop me sneaking up to see you that night."
"Yeah, it's probably good you didn't do that." Harry agreed. "I think Ron really would have killed me. But you know I don't think I would mind if you decided to give me that birthday present now." He finished suggestively.
Gin's eyes widened slightly. "You think my parents wouldn't mind just because we're in your house now not theirs?"
His mind raced, did she? No, she was only 15 at the time. "Ginny?" He asked her.
"Yeah, I was a little desperate to get you back." She answered shyly before hiding her face in his chest.
He just kissed the top of her head wondering when she was going to stop saying things that made his mind and body run out of control. It was driving him crazy.
The door opened and in came Ron and Hermione. "Everyone gone to bed?" Ron asked.
"Yeah." Harry answered, while Ginny stayed with her face buried.
"Great, grab you invisibility cloak and met us in George's room." Hermione smiled at Harry with that twinkle in her eye she got whenever we were about the break the rules and she had a plan.
"I think the Auror's on the street might notice the front door opening and shutting." Harry answered as they left the room.
"Who said anything about the front door opening?" Hermione asked as she shut the door on them again.
Ginny lifted her head. "You better go and see what they are up too."
"Only if you come too." Harry suggested standing up and holding out his hand. "If we're included George now, I think you can come as well."
A few minutes later they were standing in the room George was staying in. It was the same one he and Fred had shared over three years ago.
Ron rather meanly holding his nose to wake him up, which sure enough led to Ron being on the floor slowly transforming into a chicken.
Hermione just rolled her eyes and counter acted the spell.
"George, here take Harry's cloak. We're going to get Kreacher to Apperate you through Elf magic into Angelina's room at St Mungo's." Hermione explained.
"Great idea." Harry smiled wondering just why he hadn't thought of it himself.
"She's brilliant isn't she?" Ron almost bragged.
"Just remember you can't be seen there, and Kreacher will be back to return you here at 5am." Hermione laid out the rules.
Too which George nodded, and pulled on a fresh T shirt and Jersey, then gave her a hug and a kiss on the cheek. "Welcome to the family can we keep you and ditch Ron?"
Hermione smiled then looked at Harry like he was slow. "Harry you need to order Kreacher."
"Oh, yeah, that makes sense." He answered before calling. "Kreacher."
And there he was. "Yes Master, is everything alright with your guests master?" He bowed at Harry's feet.
"Its fine and you don't have to bow." Harry told him, knowing it wouldn't get through. "We were wondering if you could possibly apperate George in St Mungo's?"
"Is Mr. Weasley hurt sir?"
"No he just needs to see a friend in there she in…." Harry looked up wondering which ward she would be found in. George walking around the Hospital asking for directions would make the invisibility cloak pretty pointless.
"She's on the first floor, the ward that looks after back-firing wands. Not that this was quite that sort of case but she there none the less. In room 18." Hermione informed Kreacher. "It would be best and more likely not to be known if you took George straight into her room and please return to get him at 5am."
And the next moment George grabbed my cloak and he was gone.
"Wow how did you find out what room she was in?" Ginny asked Hermione.
"I just looked over Kingsley's list of things to tell us while he and Bill were going over the plan for tomorrow. The news from St Mungo's was on the top of the pile." She answered like it was nothing then added. "We should probably all go to bed. Harry stuff some pillows into the bedding will you, so it looks like George is asleep if Molly looks in on him."
She then turned and left the room with an amazed Ron walking behind her saying. "Brilliant I tell you, she's bloody brilliant."
"I think he'll still be saying that about her when their eighty." Ginny commented.
Harry nodded as he stuffed the pillows from the other bed in the room into where George had been sleeping. "Yeah, I imagine your right."
I hope you enjoyed a least some of it. I still have more people being alerted of each part than I have reviews for the entire story. But thank you so much to those reviewed. I would like to be updating once a week, but life doesn't always allow me that pleasure. Even though you are really getting two parts tonight if you jump over and read my companion piece.
