Chapter twenty

'It's fine Michael, if Harry didn't think you could do it, he would have put someone else in charge,' Cho said.

'I just figured he would put Seamus in charge, they were close friends and in the same house or you Cho as you are his ex-girlfriend.'

'I turned my back on Harry when he said Voldemort was back. We might be friends, but something like that makes Harry wary of people. So I'm fine with you taking over, we'll take the statements and meet you back at the office,' Seamus said.

'Alright, let's move then,' Michael nodded to the aurors before heading down the corridor.

Bill and Arthur spoke with the medi-witch about organising Ginny for burial at Ottery St Catchpole before the family all headed to the Burrow, the two aurors following.

'Charlie, you go with Parvati, I'll sit with Seamus,' Harry said softly as he stared into Charlie's red eyes before he walked into the living room with Seamus, leaving Parvati and Charlie at the end of the kitchen.

'Okay, I shouldn't need to ask Harry, just talk, I'll take it down,' Seamus said sadly as he held a quill and clipboard.

'Um, okay, well, Charlie was on my dragon back, we flew around here, the Burrow. When we saw no sign, we flew around the aunts place then headed to Godric's Hollow. I never intended to fly over the house.'

'You're parent's house or yours?'

'My parents place, we were mainly checking around our house, but Charlie said he saw a flash of red. I landed at the back of the cemetery as there are a large group of bushes there, I didn't want the muggles to see me as a dragon. I changed back then got dressed and we headed to the house. I told Charlie that Dumbledore sealed the house so I knew she couldn't get in. But I asked Charlie if maybe he was mistaken, he said normally he might have been but he thought it was more Weasley red than normal red. At the back of the house are large glass doors, we looked in but I didn't want to unseal it unless I had to. Charlie spotted the shed even though it was covered in vines, then we saw some of the vines were broken, freshly broken.

Charlie and I had our wands, but kept our hands joined, he opened the door. Our wands were lit and we glanced around cautiously as there were a few bits of large furniture, then I spotted something red on the floor. Charlie asked if it might be red paint but I said there wasn't anything painted red in the house. I moved closer and found Ginny, I couldn't feel a pulse, so I said I could fly her to St Mungo's faster. I went out and changed into the dragon, Charlie carried her out and placed her inside my mouth, I held her with my jaws, but loosely, just enough so she wouldn't fall, then flew her to St Mungo's. I let the healers take her from my jaws before I changed back, they gave me this robe,' Harry glanced down at the blue robe of a healer he was wearing, 'Mr. and Mrs. Weasley arrived with Charlie and Percy, then all of you, Bill, Fleur and George after, that's it.'

'Can you think of any reason why should would…do that at your parent's home?'

'Not really, that house means nothing to her, but like everybody, she does know the story of what took place. Maybe she wanted her…' Harry hesitated, 'I don't know Seamus, doing it there could have meant something to her I just don't know what.'

'I hate having to ask this even though I know you wouldn't, but when she was in your jaw, were you tempted to hurt her more, or even finish it so you would know Charlie was safe?'

'Don't be sorry, these are the types of questions we have to ask. But no, I never once thought of anything other than getting her to St Mungo's, it's why I wanted her bound to a place and not set to Azkaban. We know a lot of those people in there won't last long.'

'Harry, sorry,' Bill said holding out a small bit of parchment, 'I found this up on her bed.'

'Give it to Seamus Bill,' Harry said sadly, 'Is your mum and dad okay?'

'Not really, which is expected.'

Harry nodded then watched as Bill left, 'She said that house represented you, where she first heard the story of what happened to you, the-boy-who-lived. Since she was going to die, she wanted to there where you lost your parents and where she lost her heart,' Seamus said sadly.

'Is it signed?'

'Her name is written not signed and from what I remember it looks like her writing.'

'Can I look; she used to write me notes all the time, when we were dating?'

Seamus handed Harry the note, 'It looks straight forward and considering what was going to happen, seems as if she did this instead of being bound to her aunt's place.'

'Yeah, but this is her writing, you can check with Ron, and Bill if you want, but I'm positive it's hers.'

'You would know, okay, I'll get this done and see you in a few days. But I have to ask as you are our boss, we all want to go to the funeral, will that be okay?'

'Yes, check with Kingsley, but I don't think he would mind. Jessie doesn't know any of the Weasley's apart from Ron, so I'm surprised she would want to.'

'I think she wants to for Ron you and Charlie. I'll get this back to the office then head home since it's after six.'

'Yeah, thanks Seamus,' Harry and Seamus left the living room, Charlie put his arms around Harry, 'Talk to Kingsley, I'm sure it'll be fine.'

'Okay, we're sorry for you loss,' Seamus said sadly staring around at all the Weasley's before leaving with Parvati.

'Why there, why your parent's home Harry?' Arthur asked.

Harry looked at Bill, 'She said that's where she first heard about Harry, the-boy-who-lived,' Bill said sadly, 'She left a note on her bed, must have snuck here while we were all out.'

'Seamus has it, it's evidence, I'm sorry,' Harry said, 'If you want it after everything is finalised I'll make sure you get it.'

'I never thought she was go this far,' Ron sighed as he put his head on Hermione's shoulder.

'She realised the truth, what her life was going to be like and the fact that nothing she did would bring Harry back to her. I know now is not the time but Harry, being a pure Morphixen maybe with the help of a healer or someone they can work on a test that all children take before they turn ten or eleven,' Hermione said sadly, but everyone realised why she mentioned this.

If Harry had known years ago then he never would have dated anyone until he met his mate and it might have saved Ginny's life and the Weasley's going through another loss. Everyone also knew that Harry and Charlie felt partially responsible even if they had no idea this could happen until they got together.

'I'm putting the shop off, for now at least,' Charlie said as he stared at Harry who understood what he wanted, 'and our wedding, it wouldn't be right.'

'Oh wait,' Hermione shouted then ran up the stairs with all eyes following her.

'Ron?' Bill raised his eyebrows.

'I have no idea, just because she's my girlfriend doesn't mean I understand half of what she does or says.'

'She does this quite often, we have an idea, she just runs off without telling us. Ron and I got used to waiting for her to explain, she always did,' Harry lent against Charlie who tightened his arms around him.

'I thought of this,' Hermione held out a small dark blue book, 'It's Ginny's diary, she hid it under a loose panel in her wardrobe. She got the idea from Harry who had a loose floor board under his bed at the Dursley's,' she looked at Mr. Weasley who nodded then took the diary.

'I'll just go to the last pages,' Arthur sighed as flicked the pages, "If I can't kill Charlie then I will make sure they can't be together," Arthur flicked to the next page, "They said if Charlie dies Harry does, so I know what I have to do, but this will make sure they won't get married. Who would be so insensitive that they would get married right after the death of a family member. Maybe my death will cause them to break up, it will be worth it since I can't kill him."

Arthur sighed again then looked towards Charlie, 'We'll leave the decision up to you, let her death, which was planned stop you two marrying or show everyone that even through death you want to belong to each other in every way there is.'

Harry and Charlie stared at each other, 'This has to be your decision Charlie.'

'Okay, yes we could put it off and marry at a later date or we could show that even with how she planned this we don't let her win and marry as we planned,' Charlie kept staring at Harry then turned to his parents, 'She was my sister yet she did want me dead and it seems she didn't care how you would feel, I bet she didn't even think about how you've been since Fred died. I know what I want to do but I want to hear what you think we should do.'

Everyone stared at Charlie, Molly or Arthur, they were waiting for the three of them to make the decision. Let Ginny have her way even in death or get married even though she took her own life to prevent the marriage.
