Chapter 8. Dementors, breakdowns, and Marauders, OH MY!
I don't own Harry Potter. Our Lovely Queen Jk Rowling owns the wizarding world. J
A week after Fred and George found out that they personally knew their heroes; Harry was attacked by dementors, and was effectively expelled from school. What were dementors doing in Surrey anyways? Weren't they magically chained to Azkaban unless ordered to go somewhere? I was going to get to the bottom of this mess, and so I found the Black family library and started to research Hogwarts rules about expulsion, and research everything I could on dementors. What I found chilled my blood. There is absolutely no way to kill the dementors. The demons were immortal and indestructible-for the most part. The only way for them to die was to be stabbed through the chest by a living unicorn's horn. The only good thing about Harry being attacked was that he finally got to come to Grimmauld place.
There was an order meeting when Harry arrived. Ron, Ginny and the twins had clued me into what the Order of the Phoenix was, and I wanted in. if some arse was trying to kill my best friend, and every muggle born and muggle, then I needed to help get rid of him. The adults may have thought that we were too young to be fighting in this war, but we have every right to do so. I for one am not going to sit on the sidelines as my friends and family are murdered. Any ways, back on topic, Harry arrived and he was livid. We hadn't been able to tell him anything that had been going on at headquarters, and he thought we were trying to keep him in the dark. His anger was totally justified, just not at us. We had done nothing wrong. There was something wrong with Harry. He was so angry, and there was a slight look of madness in his eyes.
"YOU COULD HAVE TOLD ME SOMETHING! I HAVE BEEN GOING CRAZY ALL SUMMER! VOLDEMORT RETURNED AND SUDDENLY NO ONE TELLS ME FUCKING ANYTHING! THIS IS BULLSHIT!" Harry yelled.
"We wanted to tell you, Harry! Dumbledore made us promise not to tell you! I'm so sorry. I know that the end of the year was really hard for you. I wish it had ended differently, but we can't go back and change it." I said as I hugged him.
"I-I'm just so lost, 'Mione. What's going to happen? How am I going to stop anyone else from dying? I can't take it if any more people die because of me. Because I couldn't stop the sadistic bastard. What if you were next on his list? What would I do? What if he killed any of the Weasleys? They have been like my family?! Oh Merlin... What if he killed Padfoot or Moony? There would be no ties to my parents if I lost them. I can't do this. I just, I can't, I don't know what to do…" he cried softly as I held him tight. This wasn't the Harry I know and love, this was a Harry who had seen too much death, who had seen so much evil and was breaking. My best friend was changing because of this stupid war. His heart was too kind to be able to handle the death and destruction that Voldemort brought.
"Oh, Harry. You just have to be strong and we have to fight him. I know its hard, and there is going to be so much more death and destruction before Voldemort is gone, but I know you are going to make it through. I know that's not what you're worried about. I'm sure you would go throw yourself infront of the Death Eaters if it kept everyone you love safe, but you need to worry about yourself too. How do you think Sirius and Remus would feel if you died? You must keep strong, and have faith in the fact that Sirius, Remus and Mrs. and Mr. Weasley are in the order and know how to fight. And we are going to learn how to fight too. We're not going to watch Voldemort take over and not have a way to fight him. We are going to win. Just keep faith." Ron and Ginny had joined our hug at this point, and poor Harry was a complete mess.
Fred and George chose that moment to apparate into the room to tell us that dinner was ready, and both of the cheerful prankster twins sobered at the sight of Harry and the both walked over to him, and hugged him. I could see Fred whispering to Harry, and Harry finally smiled a little. After the twins let him go, he cleaned himself up, and we all went downstairs.
"Oi! By the way you git, you never told us that Remus, Sirius, and your dad were Moony, Padfoot, and Prongs!" Fred glared at Harry.
"Oops. I guess it just slipped my mind." Harry glanced at the twins and smirked. "Oh, by the way, the Mauraders are my uncles and dad. Just thought I ought to tell you." The twins' glares intensified, and Harry chuckled before running into the kitchen, and hugging Sirius and Remus.
Fred walked over to me and put his arm around my shoulder, "You know Granger, we really need to make sure Harry stays okay. He's had a shitty life, and its time for him to have an awesome life."
"I totally agree. Why do you care though? He's not one of your friends, he's your kid brothers friend. So, why the concern?"
"Because is my friend. No he's not a friend, he's like another brother to me. And I keep my eye on my family. He's never had a family, but now he does, and I'm going to make damn sure he stays okay." Fred said and then he walked over and sat down next to George. I don't know why, but at that moment I really just wanted to hug Fred and never let him go. He may be the biggest prankster I know-besides Sirius and Remus-but he has such compassion for others that it is mind blowing. I joined Ginny at the table, and we enjoyed a wonderful dinner, and my thoughts kept returning to a certain redheaded twin.

Okay, So I seriously suck at updating! which is horrible. I mean, I hate it when I'm reading a story and the author doesn't update for months. So ya'll are probably kinda pissed, which I get. So here is a chapter, it hasnt been edited yet, I will eventually go back over and edit everything becuase my grammar sucks-commas are like, my bestfriends and I wayyyyyyy overuse the bastards. lol. Anyways, I hope you guys like this chapter. If I havent mentioned it before, characters are going to be out of character. like Hermione is going to have a bit of a wild side, Harry is going to share his emotions a bit more, qand everything is going to be a bit different. Like, some characters who died in cannon are not going to die in my story, while others who didnt die are going to die.
I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Holiday season, etc. And I hope ya'll have a wonderful new year. 3
Zombies eat love :)
