Chapter Two; The Phone Call

Alright, just so everyone knows in case you all were wondering; I am nowhere near as spiritual as Harry is. I mean I have a strong belief and faith in God (and everything else that has to do with Christianity and I love Him with all my heart and everything, but yeah, I'm not like THAT. Of course I'm not a Sunday school teacher either so,.. anyway, just thought I would like to point that out for the record that I'm not making it out to be someone that I'm not since that's considered a sin in my book. Here's the next chapter!

Harry pulled his car into Luna's driveway and parked it before he got out of it and slammed the door behind him while continuing to let the engine run. Then he walked up to the doorstep and rang the doorbell. Luna answered it while Neville came up from behind her. "Are you two ready to go? Ron and Hermione and Ginny are already in the car." He said as Luna nodded.

"You look nice Harry, and your hair is really starting to get long again. Maybe you should trying growing a beard." Luna suggested while she grabbed ahold of her purse and swung it over her shoulder. Harry grinned and stifled a laugh.

"Thanks, but I don't think so." He told her as they both stepped out the door and shut it tightly behind them.

"Hermione told me that this a very good muggle nightclub to go to." Luna said.

"Yeah it is, I've been there too quite a few times. But just so you know we can't stay out too late. I have to get up tomorrow morning and go to work." Harry told her as they started walking back to his car together. "With the dragons I mean, I went to church today. Both this morning for the kids and at night for the adults." He said as he climbed back into the car sitting in the driver's seat next to Ginny and slammed the door behind him. Then he quickly grabbed ahold of his seatbelt before checking that everyone else was buckled up and then started to back up out of the driveway.

"I'm taking driver's ED now you know." Luna said.

"Yeah, so are we." Ron began. "Me, Hermione, and Ginny I mean." He finished as Harry stopped once he got to the end of the driveway, put the car back in forward and then stepped on the gas pedal.

"Just so you guys know I have to make a quick stop at the gas station." He said while starting to turn the wheel back and forth and then opened the window a bit and stopped at the end of the street. "By the way, do you guys mind if I smoke in here?" he questioned them.

"No, go ahead. It's your car." Luna told him as he dug his box of cigarettes out of his pocket and lit one of them.

"Thanks." He said as he hit the turn signal and turned the wheel to the right before accelerating again and then while keeping one hand on the wheel he used the other one to turn up the volume on the radio as the song Save Tonight by Eagle-Eye Cherry came on.

"Oh I love this song!" Ginny exclaimed as Harry smiled as she started to sing along while he put on his brakes at a red-light.

"I didn't know that you liked this kind of music Harry." Neville said.

"Well yeah, even though I'm a Christian I don't go around listening to church hymns twenty-four seven. I like the popular stuff too." He told him before the light turned green and he stepped on the gas pedal again.

"Oh yeah, Harry is nowhere near uptight. He really likes going out in town and having a good time." Ginny told him.

"If I didn't I wouldn't be right now." Harry pointed out before he stopped and turned out onto the highway and putting more pressure on the accelerator started speeding up.

"So how's your dragon business going?" Neville asked him.

"Uh very well actually. I'm not sure if Aaron told you this but he's one of my coworkers. Of course he's going to have to take some time off after he gets married in a few weeks so he can go on his honeymoon." Harry told him when suddenly his cell phone started to ring. "Ah shit." He muttered under his breath as he turned the radio down again and steadied the steering wheel with one hand before going to answer his phone with the other one.

"Hullo?" he began.

"Hullo Harry this is your father." The other voice on the other line began. "I'm sorry to be calling so late, I know that you had a busy day and you've got to go to work tomorrow." He said.

"That's alright, I'm taking my girlfriend and some of my friends out to the Ministry of Sound actually." He said.

"Well I didn't mean to bother you while you're driving but I'm afraid that I have some pretty bad news for you. You see your mother hasn't been feeling too well lately and she's been having trouble breathing. It looks like she might have to go to the hospital." He said as a pale expression grew onto his face.

"Well will she be alright?" he asked him gently applying the brake and starting to slow down before hitting his turn signal and turning the car towards the exit and then stopping again behind another car.

"She should be. I wouldn't worry about it too much. Neither of us want your night ruined with your friends. I'll let you get going now. I love you." He told him.

"Alright Dad, love you too. Goodbye." He said before he hung up.

"What's wrong Harry?" Hermione asked him as the other car moved up a little bit and he accelerated slightly before putting his foot back on the brake.

"That was my dad. My mum's sick." He said trying to hide the anxiousness in his voice.

"Gosh mate, I'm sorry." Ron began. "We'll say a prayer for her over dinner." He told him.

"Thanks." Harry replied before moving up a little bit again and then hit his turn signal and waited for the light to turn green again moving his foot back onto the accelerator and then quickly slammed on the brakes at another red light. "Damn it, what's with all of these red lights tonight?" he questioned glad that he could quickly change the subject. However this one hadn't lasted very long and he decided to stomp on the gas pedal and turn into the driveway of the gas station while he had a chance.
