Chapter Thirteen: The Accident and Pain.

"Harry, don't my brothers want to see you today?" Ginny asked eating the Breakfast Benny prepared them.

"Yeah I don't know where though." Harry said putting his plate on the dresser beside his bed.

An owl arrived with a letter addressed for Harry.

Dear Harry

Come to the Burrow at 7pm with Ginny and Teddy

Bill.

"Guess we know when to go." Harry said looking at the letter.

The two of them took a tour of their house looking at the indoor duelling arena, the Quidditch field outside, the twin libraries and the best part the bathroom the tub like the prefect's bathroom in Hogwarts. They ate dinner made by Lox the chef elf and dessert by Kos the baker elf then disapparated to the Burrow where Harry was surprised to see his parent's there looking worried.

"What's wrong?" He asked looking worried.

"You are." Bill said wearing his old curse-breaker outfit.

"What?"

"You Harry James Potter have broken a bond made by the Weasley brothers to Ginny." He said.

"What bond? I don't remember making a bond." Ginny said looking annoyed.

"We made it before my wedding we had to wait for Ron to come-of-age. One night when you fell asleep on the sofa we created the bond. It was broken after Fred's death. We made it so you couldn't move into a house before marriage without our permission." Bill said looking at Harry.

"What about the one George and Ron made me do last year?"

"When Fred returned from the afterlife it was broken and the old one reinstated itself."

"So what happens now?" Harry asked looking worried as if he was on trial.

"You get two choices: leave Ginny's life forever or duel all of her brothers at once." Arthur said grimly and annoyed looking at Bill with hateful expressions.

"Dad's annoyed, he likes you Harry, we all do but she's our only sister so we are sworn to protect her Harry."

"Well I guess it's a duel against you six." Harry said taking the Elder Wand from his holder and making a bowing gesture which meant he accepted.

"Excellent! Now the rules are clear; when someone loses their wand they that person is eliminated." Bill said creating a raised field in the garden.

"Stupefy!" Harry yelled knocking Percy out immediately.

"Obscuro, now it's a duel." Bill said laughing as Harry lost his sight.

"That was a cheap trick, Protego!" Harry shouted creating a barrier around him blocking all spells.

"Impressive shield spell Harry." Charlie said waving his wand and destroying the protective sphere.

"Stupefy!" Ron shouted and all were surprised by what happened; the spell missed Harry instead hitting Teddy in the chest.

"NO!" Harry shouted running to the fireplace with Teddy in hand. "St. Mungo's!" and disappeared into the fire. Then he arrived at the hospital desk with a limp Teddy in his arms.

"HELP ME! MY SON WAS HIT BY A STUNNING SPELL!" Harry shouted and a Healer he recognised as Parvati Patel his old school mate.

"Harry! Oh Merlin bring him in here." She said pointing to a bed.

An hour later all the Weasley's and Potter's came in looking at Harry.

"He's going to need a lot of treatment…the spell hit his heart…he's only alive because I rushed over here. He's not responding to treatments. He's just in there with his eyes closed." Harry said not blinking looking like he was dead inside all the happiness he had over the last few months had washed away.

"Harry…I'm sorry." Ron said trying to touch Harry's shoulder when a great pain came upon his face; Harry had given him a right hook to the jaw.

"SORRY? YOU'RE SORRY. MY SON IS IN THERE CLINGING FOR HIS LIFE AND YOU'RE SORRY! HE COULD DIE RON, MY SON COULD DIE RON. DO YOU UNDERSTAND?" Harry shouted looking at his friend.

"Harry..." Ginny said crying into his chest, he took her tightly into him and kissed her head looking worried.

"YOU, this is your fucking fault, you and that fucking bond!" He said looking at Bill.

"Harry!" Lily said looking at him.

"He's right if I hadn't been so stupid I was annoyed at you Harry, I mean you have been living together for over a year and I-I just wanted to make sure you loved her. All I wanted to do was protect her." Bill said crying and sitting down not looking up.

"Bill…I'm sorry I understand all you wanted to do was protect her. I would have done the same." Harry said looking at his friend and soon to be brother in law crying.

"I'm sorry Harry I know if it had been Victorie I would have killed someone, I would have killed them all for starting it." He said hugging Harry tightly.

Harry remained in St. Mungo's for two days never leaving Teddy's side the infant still wasn't responding to his treatments he just lay there unable to move looking like a sleeping baby. Harry would not even eat because he wanted to be there in case anything changed and it wasn't long before Lily made him go home to sleep. "Son you're of no use to him like this go and rest then comeback." He consented and left using the Floo to go to the Burrow where Ginny was staying with her parents.

"Harry dear, any news?" Molly asked looking worse than Harry.

He shook his head and went to the room he and Ginny shared when they lived there and saw her crying. "Harry is there any news about him yet?"

"No he's still the same, they can't get him awake." Harry said breaking down crying himself and hugging Ginny.

"He will be alright though, won't he? I mean he'll live, won't he?"

Harry just looked at her and lay down his eyes full of tears. The next day he went down and ate then Floo'd directly back to St. Mungo's.

"Any changes in him at all?" Harry asked Parvati.

"No Harry I'm sorry he's still not responding to treatments." She said holding Harry's arm.

"How come you became a healer? Didn't you want to be a seer?" Harry asked his old friend.

"After the battle I thought about helping people and Madam Pomfrey got me this job and training."

"Makes sense, I just want to teach kids now because if we teach them right then we won't have another Riddle."

"You'll be a great teacher Harry."

"If Teddy wakes up that is."

"What do you mean?"

"If he isn't awake and healed by August 18th I'm not going."

"Harry…"

The rest of the day Harry just sat there with Teddy holding him in his hands, his hair was the natural black he was born with and Harry guessed his eyes were his ordinary colour as Teddy's metamorphic abilities always made it difficult to know. Lily and James were checking in every hour and Ron kept sending letters of apology to Harry which he ripped up.

"He didn't mean to do it Harry." Lily said rubbing her son's head.

"Teddy still isn't responding Mom, so I don't care if Ron is sorry. Right now my son takes priority to everything else. I promised Moony and Tonks I'd take care of him." Harry said his voice breaking he was upset about it all.

"My love when you were thirteen months old Padfoot let you fall when you were having a horsey ride on him in his Animagus form and for a week he and your dad didn't talk and it made your recovery harder because the love wasn't there."

"MUM, THAT'S IT!" Harry said sprinting to the fireplace. "I'll return in an hour watch him please, the Burrow!"

"Harry is Teddy alright?" Ginny asked looking worried.

"He will be, are all your brothers here?"

"Yeah, why, you're not going to duel them again are you?"

"No I just need them to meet me outside."

All the Weasley brothers met outside. "Harry, this isn't revenge is it?" Bill asked.

"No. I need you to seal me and Ginny's bond I think it's what Teddy needs to heal."

"Alright then mate." Bill said gesturing them all to take their wands out.

"Do you Harry Potter swear to protect our sister?" Bill asked.

"Yes."

"Do you Harry Potter promise to love her forever?" Charlie asked.

"Yes."

"Do you Harry Potter agree to uphold all your promises you make today?" Percy asked.

"Yes."

"Do you Harry Potter love our sister?" Fred asked.

"Yes."

"Do you Harry Potter respect our sister?" George asked.

"Yes."

"Do you Harry Potter forever take the responsibility of keeping our sister out of harm's way?" Ron asked.

"Yes." And after that, six lights entered Harry's body and a feeling of loving warmth fell over him.

"Ginny let's go I know what to do." He said taking her by the hand. "St. Mungo's"

He and Ginny went into Teddy's room and Harry motioned her to kiss his cheek with him. And as soon as they did Teddy's hair turned straight turquoise and his eyes opened.

"Merlin's beard Harry, how did you do that?" Parvati asked him looking amazed.

"I just kissed him on the cheek." He said innocently as for the first time in days he smiled.

"Dada, love you." Teddy said hugging Harry tightly.
