Chapter 9

Harry glared at Albus Dumbledore and Molly Weasley, noticing that the old man hadn't even drawn his wand. Was he crazy? "Molly, please drop your wand I want to have a peaceful discussion." Molly looked flabbergasted that Albus would even ask her to do that. Albus just sighed and drew his wand so fast that no one had any time to react and with a wave he disarmed all three of them and pocketed all four wands. "Do not worry, you will get your wands back, I simply want to talk and nothing more."

Harry narrowed his eyes at the old man. "Alright then, what do you want to talk about?"

Albus smiled serenely. "In a moment, I'm waiting for a couple of more people to get here." A moment later, several pops sounded from behind Albus and in walked Sirius Black along with the three oldest Weasley brothers and their father.

Sirius grunted. "Sorry Albus, they wouldn't take no for an answer." Albus nodded although he looked wary of the Weasleys being there.

"Don't worry we won't try anything. Hell, I just wanted to see my sister again." Bill glared at his parents while Percy just looked annoyed at his brother.

Albus nodded with a twinkle in his eye. "I understand your desire Bill, let us be civil in our discussions." Bill nodded at looked at Ginny apologetically.

Ginny continued to glare at her mother but felt herself hating Bill less than she had before while Harry looked curiously around the room. "So what do you want to talk about Albus, let's not waste time."

Albus nodded. "Indeed there is no more time to waste. I wanted to ask how much you know about your parents, Harry."

Harry frowned. "I know they were traitors to the Dark Lord's cause. I've been told that they gave me up to save themselves but I've always wondered about the truth to that." Ginny felt shocked. She had always wondered if Harry ever really believed that about his parents. Do you think that what you've been told is untrue?

Harry shrugged. I've always wondered about it. I know absolutely nothing about my parents but I've had dreams and I know you've seen them recently. The woman screaming, the cold laugh and the green flash. She always screams 'No, not Harry' and that leads me to believe that is my mother. Why would someone begging to save my life so willingly give me up to save her own? It just never made sense but I know that what your family did to you actually happened so I can't be angry at them for telling me that because it kept me with you. I know how much it hurt you that your family gave you up and I'd rather stay and help you and be with you than to be angry about a lie. I'll confront the Dark Lord about it eventually but neither of us are strong enough to take him on and he has been good to us. If he had been abusive it'd be different but he hasn't.

Ginny could only smile at that, leaving everyone else but Dumbledore looking confused at the mental conversation. Molly wasn't having it. "What are you two smiling about?!"

Albus sighed. Molly could be extremely blind when it suited her, which seemed to be most of the time. He could feel the bond that the two children shared. "They are bonded Molly. I told you that they were extremely close. Of course I don't read auras but I can feel the bond between them."

Ginny and Harry looked shocked that Dumbledore knew about the bond. Harry's eyes narrowed. "How do you know about bonds?"

Albus smiled. "I know friends who are soul bonded. The Flamels are the last recorded couple to be soul bonded so I know quite a bit about it. I could tell that you two would be bonded when I first saw the two of you at King's Cross in the guise of a common beggar."

Harry looked curiously at the old man. "I thought I felt magic in you. I thought I was crazy but now I know different." Harry shook his head. "So how did you know we'd end up bonded?"

Albus had that familiar twinkle in his eyes. "It comes down to love dear boy. The two of you have a strong level of love for one another. When you have two strong magical people with such compatible souls it's bound to happen but it doesn't happen often because the conditions must be right. The two people must rely on each other on an emotional level that they share with no one else. The conditions were there so it happened. It may also explain why the two of you are so open to other levels of magic that others are not. You both are parselmouths and you share the same talents in potions, transfiguration, charms, arithmancy, the darks arts regretfully, and other subjects. I have also been told that you two are quite proficient in blood magic when it suits you and even the rare ability to use parselmagic, something Voldemort isn't even proficient in." Albus noted the frowns at the mention of the Dark Lord's name though they did not flinch. They don't fear him.

Harry smiled. "You forget about our abilities in legilimens and occlumens. I'm shocked that Snape didn't tell you that considering that he's the one that arranged this meeting." Albus looked shocked. "So Black, my godfather, its true then that Pettigrew is the one that betrayed my parents to him. I'll make sure he pays for that. Betrayal always leaves a bitter taste in my mouth. And don't worry, Ginny and I will handle ourselves, we don't need your help."

Percy had heard enough. "Listen here you brat! Who do you think you are to talk down to us! You weren't there! You didn't stand there with Bellatrix Lestrange and her group of deatheaters pointing their wands at us! What would you have done? Ginerva wasn't worth keeping so of course we'd offer her up its only right."

"Mr. Weasley I must insist that you be silent!" Albus began to panic, he looked at Harry and saw a red glint in his eyes. He saw that rage rise up while Ginny's face was contorted in a mixture of pain and rage.

"How dare you talk to Harry like that. You think that just because you're 'on the side of the light' that means you're better than us? Is that what you think Percy? No, here's what I think. I think you're nothing but a sycophantic prat and you know what else, if you think I'm so worthless then why are you even here? You or mother for that matter. Bill and Charlie are the only ones who seem to think that I'm worth something. But you know something Percy, I have a family who thinks I'm worth something. Bellatrix has done nothing but treat me like one of their own and Harry has been the best future husband a girl could ever ask for. If you think for one second that I'm going to go back with you and take your crap then you've got another thing coming!" Suddenly, Ginny thrust out her hand and her wand flew into her hand and a jet of green light flew out and struck Percy Weasley right in the chest.

Albus was in shock. He had not been prepared for Ginny to use wandless magic, let alone to use it to summon her wand to kill her own brother. Sadly enough, he brought it upon himself. And then he felt Harry's wand leave his pocket and fly into Harry's outstretched hand as he pointed it at a screaming Molly. "Can I kill her Gin?"

Albus could feel the rage dripping off of him as Molly screamed profanities at her daughter but Ginny just smiled. "No Harry. Let her watch her precious ones die first. She and my dear father will be the last to die."

Harry grinned. "I like the way you think Gin."

Sirius looked sad. "I'm sorry Harry, I failed you." Harry frowned but there was no malice there.

"No you didn't. You didn't betray my family, you didn't betray me. You didn't know that Peter was the traitor so I can't blame you. Do you have a picture of them?" Harry looked vulnerable which shocked Dumbledore.

Sirius nodded and pulled out a photo and handed it to Harry. "Here you go. That's your mum and dad with you in their arms. You two remind me so much of them it hurts."

Harry shakily looked at the picture. "Thank you Sirius. Tell my god sister that I mean no harm. She'd be brilliant if she didn't hang out with that prat Ron."

"Don't you dare bad mouth my son like that! He's better than the two of you combined!"

Harry had to bite down his anger as he gently grabbed Ginny's arm. "Come on Gin, we need to go back."

Ginny nodded before giving her family one last scathing look, she grabbed Harry's hand and they apparated back to school.

Albus sighed. "That went better than expected. Well done Sirius."

Molly seethed. "Are you mad Albus! She murdered my son!"

"I am just as shocked as you but he antagonized her first. He was asking for it, no matter how wrong it may be. War has casualties. I am as saddened by Mr. Weasley's death as you are Molly but we mustn't dwell on it for long."

Molly just sobbed while Arthur just nodded dumbly. He had just watched his son die and had done nothing to stop it. He could feel his own anger come forth. You will pay for this Ginerva, you and that monster Harry Potter. You'll both pay.

Hogwarts….

Harry and Ginny apparated back into Hogsmeade to find Bellatrix pacing in front of an amused Voldemort who nodded when he saw them. "How did it go?"

Before Harry could answer he and Ginny were enveloped in a strong hug from Bellatrix. "You two took your bloody time about getting back! What the hell happened!?"

Harry struggled to breathe as he spoke. "Dumbledore was there, he took our wands. He said he wanted to talk to us and we knew that it'd take a few minutes to build up the power to use wandless magic so we entertained the old fool."

Belliatrix let them go, satisfied for the moment. It was the Dark Lord who spoke next. "Was there anyone else there?"

Harry nodded. "Just the Weasleys that aren't in school and their parents. Ginny killed one of the brothers, Percy I believe his name was." Ginny nodded fiercely causing Bellatrix to smile.

"Was there anyone else there Harry?" Harry could feel the slight prodding from Voldemort's occlumens but showed no signs as he stowed away any mention of his god father behind the mental barriers while Ginny quickly did the same. "No sir there wasn't."

The Dark lord nodded, placated for now. "Very well, go on back to the castle I'm sure you two are exhausted and starving." The two of them nodded fervently. They were in fact, rather hungry.

Hours later after the hoopla surrounding the last task had died down, Harry and Ginny sat in what was known as the Room of Requirement talking. Harry had his head in Ginny's lap while Ginny played with his hair. "So why didn't you tell them about Black?"

Harry shrugged nonchalantly. "He didn't seem like someone who liked the Weasleys very much. He certainly didn't seem very judgmental of us. I certainly learned a lot about my parents. The funny part is that he knew I was going through his mind and he just opened it up to me, like he trusts me. He even let me see some very interesting piece of information about his dear daughter Hermoine. She's actually not his daughter." Ginny stopped stroking his hair in surprise. "Yepp. She's adopted from a muggle couple that was sentenced to die. She's a mudblood."

Ginny was indeed surprised. "That does indeed surprise me. Why not turn her in?"

Harry shrugged. "She's not a bad person and besides, she's kept your prat brother Ron out of our hair. He fancies her pretty hard. Remember he took her to the Ball? Since that incident on the train my first year, he hasn't been much of a problem although pranking him has been a highlight."

Ginny snorted. "Now look who's becoming a big softie."

Harry grinned. "I know one part of me that isn't so soft."

Ginny blushed and hit him lightly on the head. "Prat." But Harry just laughed.

"You know you like it!" He grinned as her blush deepened but there was a grin on her face.

"Maybe I do." She reached down and grabbed him by his bits causing the grin to disappear and his face to blush crimson as she massaged him. "You're right Harry, there's nothing soft here." Harry was quite incoherent by this point as she unzipped his trousers and pulled out his cock. She moved her hand up and down earning a pleased grunt from Harry as she saw the unbridled lust in his eyes. She grinned. "I better be the only girl that ever does this to you Potter." She leaned down and took him into her mouth, pleased with the gasp she got from him.

"Oh God yes Ginny!"

She sat up. "I think we're far too clothed don't you think?" Harry could only nod at this point.

Headmistress Office….

"Do you think he knows more than he's telling?" Bellatrix asked her master.

Voldemort frowned. "It's…possible, but if he did why he wouldn't have just left with them? Of course if he thought that coming back was best for Ginny then he would. He probably knows the truth by now but won't act on it because it's not what's best for her. Remember, what we told her was the truth and if Harry knows that by now then he'll do whatever it takes to make sure that she is well. She wouldn't do well staying around her mother and Harry certainly wouldn't allow himself to be separated from her, especially since they'll be married over the summer. He loves that girl dearly."

Bellatrix nodded, relieved. "So what now my Lord?"

Voldemort thought hard. "We'll keep an eye on them for now but I don't think there will be any problems."

Bellatrix nodded, satisfied.

Grimmauld place…..

Sirius watched the scene in front of him with mixed feelings. While he never liked to see someone die, the Weasley boy had been asking for it by antagonizing Ginny. He watched while they cried over their fallen son. He didn't really know what to tell them so he walked into the sitting room with Albus to wait on his wife. Two hours later, Amelia stepped through the floo, a smile on her face. "It's done, my last day as a ministry employee." Sirius nodded and with a heavy heart, told her about the events of the day. She frowned. "I heard about it at the ministry, Lucius was in a rage trying to figure out what happened. Severus barely escaped. No one knows where he went. I hope him blowing his cover wasn't wasted Albus."

Albus nodded. "Indeed I think it went well except for the loss of Percy. The seeds have been planted. Now on to happier news. I hear the Black family is expanding."

Sirius grinned. "Just found out Albus! That's why I had to make Amelia leave the ministry."

Amelia rolled her eyes. "People were starting to get suspicious anyway so it's best that I cut ties with them. I just hope that this baby doesn't end up like the last one." She bit her lip as Sirius encircled her into his arms.

"Everything will be fine love. It'll work out the way it's supposed to."

She smiled at him and they kissed. "I sure as hell hope so."

Hogwarts…

"Oh God Harry!" Ginny lay panting as Harry disengaged his mouth from her vaginal area and lay next to her.

"Well I had to repay the favor Gin." He had a grin plastered onto his face while Ginny panted, a sheen of sweat covering her body.

"Well I'm certainly not complaining about it Harry." She grinned at him as she came down from her orgasmic high. "I can't wait until we're married so that we can go all the way. Remind me why we're waiting that long."

Harry shrugged. "I'm not sure, something about making it special to consummate the marriage."

Ginny snorted. "That's you being all honorable and noble isn't it?"

Harry laughed. "Maybe. But it's only three more months, then we can do whatever we want."

Ginny smiled. "I can hardly wait that long. Any thoughts as to where we'll live? Mum says that once we're married we can live wherever we want."

Harry looked thoughtful for a moment. "Well, my parents owned a manor that's been in the Potter family for generations. Once we're married we'll have full access to the Potter family vault and I will be able to retrieve the deed. We could live there."

Ginny squealed in delight. "I can't wait to live on our own! No more deatheaters looking at me all the time! Which reminds me we'll need a strong fidelius charm to keep people from knowing where we live. I don't want any unannounced visitors."
Harry nodded in agreement. "Indeed but the only thing I'll miss is torturing deatheaters for looking at you, of course I'll still be able to do it whenever we go for meetings so I guess it'll be nice not having to do it every day. The question is, do we go back to school?"

Ginny nodded. "I think we do. Mum said I can sit my OWLs next year and be done with my NEWTs by the end of my sixth year that way I'll be done the same time as you."

Harry grinned. "That'd be brilliant Gin! I won't have to wait a year! Three more years and we'll be done with this place. I can hardly wait! But in the meantime, we'll enjoy each other until then. And until we're married, we'll just keep playing like we did tonight." Harry had a lustful grin on his face.

Ginny grinned in return. "I look forward to each and every play time."

Gryffindor Common Room….

Ron sat on the couch leaning on Hermoine as she held him while tears ran down his face. The twins sat on the other sofa looking solemn. "Percy was a right git but I didn't want him to die."

Hermoine nodded. "I know love but there's nothing we can do now." She had tears in her own eyes. She hated to see her boyfriend in such turmoil.

The twins nodded. "After what Sirius told us can you really blame Ginny –

"For what she did?"

"He said some really-

"Nasty things to her."

Ron shook his head. "I guess not. Do you think it's true, what he said about them giving Ginny up to save their lives?"

The twins looked at each other and shrugged. "Whenever we look at Dad-

"He looks sort of-

"Guilty whenever the subject arises so-

"I reckon that it might-

"Be true."

Ron nodded. "And all they could talk about is how nasty she's become. If what Percy said is true then can you really blame her for being that way? When it comes down to it, Harry's been good to her that I can tell, better than we have been."

The twins nodded and frowned before looking at each other. "Do you think we should tell them George?" "I reckon it couldn't hurt Fred." They shrugged and looked at a confused Ron and Hermoine. "When we came back from McGonagall's office after Sirius told us what happened, we were stopped by Potter and he gave us something." Fred pulled out a large bag filled with galleons. "He said to use it to start our own joke shop and that he wouldn't take no for an answer. We've talked about starting our own joke shop for years but we never dreamed the means would just fall into our laps like this. We tried to refuse it but he threatened to curse us if we tried so we just left it at that. He said he had more than enough money for him and Ginny and 5000 galleons that hadn't been his to start with could be used for something other than fattening up his purse."

Ron and Hermoine looked as shocked as the twins had felt at the time. "That was-" Hermoine fought to find the right words. "Really nice of him." She frowned as if to mutter such a thing was bitter. "I didn't think he had it in him."

Ron frowned. "Maybe he's not as bad as You-Know-Who, maybe there's some good in him and maybe in Ginny as well!"

The twins shook their heads. "I think you're being too optimistic brother-

"We can see your thought process-

"And we hate to say this-

"But because of mum and dad-

"Ginny will probably never-

"Ever be family again-

"And if she won't-

"Then you can bet your bits that-

"Harry won't either-

"But maybe you're right-

"About the good part-

"Just maybe."

Ron nodded, solemn once more before brightening a bit. "But there is hope yet."

The twins nodded while Hermoine smiled. "Yes Ron, there's always hope."

Slytherin Common Room….

Harry and Ginny lay cuddled together on the sofa watching the flames. "You know Harry, I'll never be able to forgive my parents, but maybe I can let go of my hatred for my brothers. Seeing Bill made me realize that they had no say in what happened to me. They were not at fault."

Harry nodded. "Maybe, but not yet, hexing them is too fun."

Ginny grinned and kissed him. "It was really nice what you did for the twins."

Harry shrugged but smiled. "They're really good pranksters so I'm interested in what a joke shop owned by them would look like."

Ginny nodded and smiled. "To another year then my love?"

Harry nodded. "Another year indeed lover."

And there's chapter 9! I probably should have put a mature content warning in there somewhere but oh well! I know there was only one death in there but like I said in the beginning, I'll go where the writing takes me and the writing didn't have anyone else dying this chapter. But on a bright note, Amelia is pregnant! And I found a way to get her out of the ministry (More like it was suggested to me, thank you Dreaming Haven!) and it keeps her alive which was the main objective! Anyway, sorry there weren't any duels here but Dumbledore was in so much shock that not only could they do wandless magic, but Ginny killed her brother! Not that he wasn't asking for it but it shocked the old man. And Sirius was just trying to keep the peace considering that this was the first time he had been able to actually talk to his godson since Voldemort took him. A little unrealistic I know but it's my story lol. It's called fanfiction for a reason right? Right? Anyway, I hope you all enjoy this chapter and don't forget to PM me or leave a review with any comments, questions, or concerns and I'll get back to you! I can't promise I'll be as quick with future chapters but I'll do my best. Enjoy the rest of the week and the weekend!
