Harry woke up from his sleep when a loud 'BANG' was heard, followed immediately by a scream. "NORA."
"Yup, that was Nora and Ren." Harry said as he was now awake. Harry had heard about the N and R of team JNPR and was, to be honest, wondering why Beacon Academy hadn't been destroyed by now. Shaking his head, Harry went to the bathroom.
Harry was lucky enough to have his own bathroom attached to his room. Harry stripped out of his night clothes and entered the shower, making sure to close the door. After carefully showering, Harry applied a new set of bandages on his wound and putting on some clothes, stepped outside his room, right in a mess of arms and legs. Staying in the opening of his door, Harry watched as Nora and Ruby were wrestling with each other, while Ren and Yang watched. It seemed that Yang was already done with the shower and just wanted to watch the wrestling match. Ren was just waiting until one of the two would win.
"Okay, what's going on?" Harry asked as he looked at the wrestling girls on the floor.
"Oh Nothing much." Yang answered, as she looked at Harry's clothing. A baggy white shirt and blue shorts that were meant for swimming. "So Harry, ready to jump in the water to safe some lovely ladies in need?" Yang teased.
"No, I can't." Harry said a s he lifted his shirt up and showed Yang the covered up wound. "Until this is healed, I'm not allowed to swim."
"Whoa, that's to bad" Yang said as she stepped around the still fighting Ruby and Nora and placed her hand on Harry's shoulder.
"Don't worry though, I'm sure that you can still have a lot of fun out there" Harry nodded, before he decided to end the little sparring match that Ruby and Nora had begun. "I told you yesterday that we have two bathrooms in the house. Why are you fighting over this one?" Harry asked. The two girls stopped their fight and looked at the young boy. "Ehh, because it's fun." Nora said, as she tried to hold on to Ruby's smaller body, who was almost succeeding with getting away from Nora's grip.
Harry sighed deep. "Listen, it's quite easy. Nora, you take this one, and Ruby takes the one upstairs." Both girls nodded and Ruby used her semblance to get to the shower on the second floor.
"Ren, what are you doing?" Harry asked Ren, as he was about to move in with Nora in the ground floor's bathroom. "Trust me, You don't want Nora to stay there more than ten minutes alone . She'll break something. I'm being there to prevent her doing so." Ren said as he stepped inside. Just before they saw the door closing, they heard Nora's voice. "Plus we boop all the time"
Shaking his head, Harry moved from the hallway to the living room, followed by Yang who had a hard time holding in her laughter.
"Yang?" Harry asked as he took a seat on a couch. "Yeah Harry?" Yang asked, still her laughter threatening to escape. "What did Nora meant with, 'boop all the time'?"
Yang lost is there and then. She fell on the floor and rolled around, laughing.
"What did I say?" Harry asked himself. Shaking his head, Harry tried to ignore the rolling on the floor, laughing Yang. Deciding that he could do better, Harry grabbed one of the many books that was scattered around the Villa and began reading, waiting till Yang was done with laughing. It took five minutes for Yang to stop laughing, and when she finally was done, she jumped up and sat right next to Harry, who had been distracted that he jumped of the couch.
"Yang, don't even scare me like that," Harry said as he clutched his chest and tried to calm down his beating heart.
"Sorry Harry" Yang said, but Harry could see that she didn't meant it. "Whatever" Harry replied as he sat down on the couch. They sat in a comfortable silence for a few minutes, when they heard the door to the bathroom opening and closing.
"Yang?" Harry asked as he looked at the young lady next to him on the couch. "What is it Harry?" Yang asked as she leaned forward, showing of her breasts to Harry. "What did Nora mean with 'boop all the time'?"
Yang smiled and grabbed Harry to sit him on her lap, crossing her arms to prevent Harry from escaping.
"Oh they mean nothing much with it. They just touch each others nose and smile a lot. At least, that's what Pyrrha tells me."
Harry tried to turn around, to face her. But unfortunately, Harry was unable to do so, as Yang held Harry securely in her arms. They stayed that way, until Ruby came downstairs, dressed in a red top and a black skirt.
"Oh. I see that Yang has found herself a new toy to cuddle with" Ruby said, as she watched Harry in Yang's lap.
"Yeah, he's so much cuddlier than you are." Yang said as she started to hug Harry even closer to her, causing Harry to feel Yang's nipples poking in his back. Harry started to punch Yang with his elbows, causing Yang to let him, go.
"Why did you do that?"Yang asked, as her eyes turned slowly red. "You were squeezing the life out of me, and you reopened my wound" Harry said as he felt blood slowly dripping from his bandages. "Oh Harry, I'm so sorry" Yang said, changing from slight anger to worry.
"I'll be fine" Harry said, but the girls could see he was lying as his face showed that he was in pain.
"Harry, where are your medical supplies?" Ruby asked as Yang placed Harry gently on the couch and removed his shirt. "My room, second plank on the right wall. Bring a potion with you" Harry gasped in pain. Within seconds, Ruby was back with Harry's supplies. First taking in a potion to reduce the pain, Harry's breathing became less shallow, before he nodded to the girls.
Gently, the girls removed the bandages from Harry, and looked at the broken scabs on Harry's abdomen.
"Yang, I'm gonna get Ginny for this. She knows how to do this better than either of us" Ruby said as she made to reach for the doors. "Ruby." Yang called as she tried to stop her sister from getting Ginny, but it was to late as Ruby had already ran away.
"Harry, help me. I don't know what to do." Yang pleaded with Harry. Harry nodded and slowly turned around, so that his injury was on the top.
"See that little bottle there, with a green cap on it? You need to drop two drops of it on the wound, then press with a new bandage against it. It's a cleaning solution that I must use whenever the wound breaks open" Harry said.
"Wait" Harry said as he saw Yang about to place the drops on his wound. "Wait for back-up. Those drops are going to burn like hell." Harry said as he indicated the bottle in Yang's hand.
"I need to stay still for about a minute, but that never happened when I was at Beacon. Madam Pomfrey came from Hogwarts and always placed me in a body bind curse."
"That bad, Harry?" Ozpin's voice rang out through the room.
"Hey dad. Nothing to worry yourself about." Harry said as he tried to look up from his prone position.
"Nonsense Harry, you are my son, and I'll help you when Miss Xiao Long places that on your wound. And I believe that Ginny and Miss Rose are here."
"Harry, what happened?" Ginny's voice asked as she and Ruby came running in. Ginny was dressed in a yellow shirt with a green skirt, and wore slippers on her feet. Ruby looked at Harry, then Ozpin and tried to make her as small as possible. Looking at the bleeding wound, Ginny quickly connected the dots. She would have a word with Yang, but now she needed to help Harry heal.
"Yang, I want you to hold Harry firmly at his feet. Ruby, hold Harry's arms. Uncle Ozpin, I need you to prevent Harry from moving his torso" Said Ginny as she took the bottle form Yang's hands and placed herself near Harry's wound. Seeing Yang holding Harry's feet, Ruby holding Harry's arms and Ozpin placing his arms against Harry's torso, Ginny gently held the vial above Harry's wound.
"I'm sorry, Harry" Ginny said as she looked at her lifelong friend. "Just do it" Harry said as he prepared for the pain. Ginny nodded and placed two drops on Harry's wound. Harry's reaction was instantaneous. Harry started to scream and shout, while the drops of the potion started to burn away any dead tissue that still might have been there. For a full minute, Harry screamed while Yang, Ruby, Ginny and Ozpin held Harry firmly in place. After the minute, Harry took a few deep breaths and nodded to Ginny, who ordered Yang to hand over the bandages. Giving them to Ginny, Yang watched as Ginny gently gave Harry fresh bandages, while she felt herself slipping deeper in feelings of guilt.
"Rest for now Harry, we'll bring you something to eat." Ginny said as she looked at the new bandages around Harry's abdomen.
"Yang, with me" Ginny said as she moved outside, with Yang following her at a slower pace. Ginny was already waiting at the entrance of the beach, and had her back turned to Yang, who felt like she was taking her last steps, before being executed.
Yang stood next to Ginny, and both girls didn't say a thing. For Yang, it was the worst form of torture. Finally, Ginny exhaled.
"Look, I don't know what happened and probably wouldn't even want to know. What did happen, happened for a reason. At the moment, Harry is weak and unable to enjoy this holiday for a while."
Ginny now looked at the larger girl at her side. "Listen Yang, if you want to make it up to Harry, you need to understand that Harry is a very stubborn person, who for the most part refused to ask for help. I think I have the perfect 'punishment' for you" Ginny used the quote marks as she said punishment.
"As punishment for making Harry suffer for that, I'm going to assign you as Harry's personal maid for the day"
"What?" Yang cried out as she heard what Ginny wanted her to do. She couldn't believe it. She expected to be told to go home, or to stay in her room, but not to service Harry's every need. "You can't be serious" Yang said as she looked at Ginny. Ginny looked back at her.
"Shit, you are serious." Yang said as she saw no hind of a joke on Ginny's face. "Do I have to service him on my hands and knees?" Yang asked, unsure if she wanted to know the answer.
"No, it's just you in your bikini, teasing Harry slightly and helping him if he wants something, like getting out of the chair, or getting in the shade." Said Ginny, as she smiled slightly at Yang. "Wow, you are devious" Yang said as she shook Ginny's hand, sealing the deal.
"Now. Let's get you to your master for the day" Teased Ginny as she walked back to the villa, with Yang following her. It was strange for Yang, as she didn't feel that guilty anymore, for causing Harry harm. That changed when she stepped back into the Villa, where all her teammates were looking at her, with team JNPR, CFVY and Professor's Ozpin and Goodwitch.
"Guys, it's cool" Ginny said as she tried to calm everyone down. "I've talked with Yang and she had agreed to be Harry's personal maid for the day."
That was as far as Ginny came, as there were several reactions that screamed attention. Ruby was rolling on the floor laughing with Nora, Jaune looked at her with an open mouth, just as Weiss and Blake did. Pyrrha just shook her head and looked sideways at Jaune, trying to find out how to get him to be her personal butler for the day.
Coco smiled and gave a thumbs up, while Velvet blushed scarlet. Fox and Yatsuhashi raised an eyebrow at Yang, who nodded, before they nodded back. Ozpin looked at Yang for a long time and Goodwitch rubbed her nose in frustration. "Very well then. Miss Xiao Long, your punishment starts now and ends at 9 PM." Ozpin said.
The only person who hadn't responded was Ren. Ren had just arrived after placing Harry gently on his bed, telling him to take it easy. "What's going on?" Ren asked as he looked around. Fox moved around to whisper in Ren's ear, and it was clear as day that the message was received. Ren's eyes almost popped out of his face, before he took a few deep breaths. "Okay" Ren said as he walked back to Harry's room on the main floor.
"WHAT" They heard from Harry's room, as Ren walked out of it, a slight smile on his face. "He knows." Was all he said as he walked outside.
"Well, I'll be going to see my master for the day" Yang said as she moved around her friends and the two professors from Beacon.
Shaking her head, Blake motioned to the rest to go back to their Villa and eat something. They all agreed that they would meet at the beach in one hour. Weiss, Jaune, Pyrrha, Coco and Velvet followed the black-haired faunus to Glynda's Villa.
"I must say that it was an interesting morning, so far" Ozpin said as he took a sip of his ever present coffee cup.
Glynda face palmed herself and left, taking Ginny with her. "See you soon" The red-haired girl said happily as she was dragged away by her mother.
"Yes, very interesting" Ozpin said with a smile as he took another sip of his coffee.
It was barely fifty minutes after they had split up that the first beach guests arrived. Yang had changed from her clothes from before into the same black and yellow Bikini that she wore the day before.
She only had added a small asymmetrical see-through skirt, that she had tied on one side, causing it to barely cover her bikini bottoms. She carried a large beach chair that she sat down with a parasol to protect against the sun. She then returned and carried Harry in bridal style to the chair, where she gently placed him in. Harry had protested with Yang, claiming that he could walk on his own, but Yang didn't want to hear it.
Harry was wearing only his blue swimming shorts, with the bandage over his abdomen. Next was Ruby, who moved to the sea using her semblance, before being called back by Yang, who told her to put on some sunblock. Ruby nodded and after putting on the sunblock, she jumped into the water. Popping out of the water, Ruby took a deep breath and started to swim around, her red one piece swimsuit was a clear sign where Ruby was swimming. Next came Weiss and Blake, who carried several beach chairs and towels with them, followed by Jaune and Pyrrha, who also carried a lot of stuff. Weiss was in a blue one piece, while Blake was feeling more sure of herself, showing her body with a black bikini, with her bow on her head. Pyrrha was wearing a small brown and copper colored bikini, causing Jaune, who was wearing a blue with white striped swim-shorts, to look at his classmate. Harry almost could see hearts beating in Jaune's eyes, as he looked at Pyrrha's figure and form.
A pink blur ran past Harry's spot and as the sand and dust cleared, Harry could see Nora jumping in the water, wearing a pink bikini with frillies. Next to him, Harry spotted Ren, Fox and Yatsuhashi walking along, taking about the weather.
Both Yatsuhashi and Ren had opted for a speedo, with Ren having an extra color with his black. A nice green band moved from Ren's left to right, where Yatsuhashi's speedo was all black. Fox was wearing a simple swim-shorts with a red and brown pattern. When the three young men came near the edge of the water, they ran in it, splashing the others who were having a water-fight.
Harry spotted from the corner of his eyes, a couple of figures approaching, and turned around, just to see Velvet and Coco walking towards them. Velvet had a simple brown and gold colored one piece on, where Coco had chosen for a brown bikini. Both girls had a beach chair with them and found themselves a spot near Harry to sit down and enjoy the sun.
Finally, Glynda and Ginny Goodwitch arrived. While Harry had more eyes for his best friend, who wore a simple but form fitting emerald green bikini, Glynda Goodwitch was drawing the attention of almost every student on the beach and in the water. Glynda wore a one piece bathing suit with purple and white mixed together. It was a very simple, but stylish design and as she jumped in the water, she made sure to create an as big as possible splash, that soaked almost every student who looked at her in the water.
Yang looked at Harry, a pleading look on her face. Harry nodded and Yang jumped up from Harry's side and ran towards the water. Jumping in, she started to join her friends in a free for all water splash battle.
Ginny quickly took Yang's spot at Harry's side and started to talk to him, about Yang's punishment.
"Don't worry Ginny. I know why you did it." Harry said as he looked at the redhead. Ginny looked at him with a teasing smile. "You wanted revenge for the same trick I pulled two years ago, where I had William Foxhound chasing you around, after he accidentally hurt you at Beacon."
Ginny nodded and sighed happily, as she watched their friends playing around in the water, or splashing each other in a water-fight.
Unfortunately, their peace and quiet wasn't about to last. While Harry and Ginny watched the group having fun with each other, a red-haired woman marched down the beach, her eyes trained upon a small red-haired child with a emerald green bikini.
Velvet's ears twitched slightly and as she looked around, she was the woman grabbing something from her apron and pointing at Harry and Ginny. "NO" Velvet shouted, jumping in front of Harry and Ginny, while she took a fighting pose.
"Get out of my way girl, I'm here to get my daughter back" Shouted Molly Weasley, getting the attention of everyone at the beach. Yang, who had enjoyed her moments with her friends had taken a spot near Harry to lay down and relax for a while. Seeing this overweight woman threatening Harry and Ginny with a wooden stick, she quickly placed Ember Celica on her wrists and activated her shotgun gauntlets, and as she saw the woman waving her stick, Yang shot a blast from her gauntlets right at the womans feet, causing Molly to be thrown away, before she landed on the sand, fifteen feet from where she had stood.
"What?" Molly asked weakly before she came under the threatening gaze of Ruby Rose, who had used her semblance to grab Crescent Rose and unfolding it to it's scythe form. She now had Molly at her mercy.
"Who are you, and what are you doing here?" Ruby asked in a icy tone, as more and more students came out the water, grabbing their weapons from hiding spots near their beach chairs.
"Oh, can I break her legs?" Nora asked, as she wielded her hammer Magnhild dangerously close to Molly's legs. "Mr. Lie, get her away from here" Glynda said as she looked at the group that was surrounding Molly Weasley. Ren nodded and gently took Nora away, while he was trying to get her to drop her hammer.
"Mrs. Weasley. What, if I may ask, are you doing on private property?" Glynda asked in her best 'teacher' voice, while she waved her riding crop at the downed witch.
"I'm here to bring Ginny with me home. She's much better off without someone who dresses like that" Molly said, pointing at Glynda's swimsuit, while getting up.
"Children. Get inside. Now" Glynda ordered, and everyone nodded, before they went inside. All of them glared at Molly, who glared back at seeing them in such 'revealing outfits'.
"You should be glad that I have a firm grasp on my students. If I even give the slightest signal, they will pulverize you. Now what are you doing here on PRIVATE PROPERTY" Glynda shouted as she was losing her patience with this stubborn witch.
"I'm here to take Ginny with me. She needs to spent time with her real family, not one that is made up like yours." Molly said as she pointed her wand at Glynda. "She needs to learn how to be a proper lady, instead of dressing like a harlot like you."
Everyone in the Villa looked outside as Glynda Goodwitch started to glow. "Oh Shit" Ozpin said as he had been watching the entire event taking place. Harry looked at his father, and was about to call him on his swearing, when a furious scream came from the beach. Looking at the beach, Harry saw Glynda Goodwitch launching Dust attack after Duct attack at Molly Weasley, who was trying to defend herself from the various attacks that Glynda shot at her.
"Expelliamus" Molly cast with her wand, as she found a small opening in Glynda's attacks. The disarming charm almost hit Glynda, but a Glyph, courtesy of Weiss, appeared between them and shot the charm back at Molly with twice the speed. Molly's wand flew out of her hand, and landed on the sand, just as Glynda pointed her riding crop at Molly's neck.
"Your own ministry failed to find Ginny. They gave her a very low priority. I would blame them, instead of blaming us." Glynda said as she seemed to burn.
"Ginny, get out here, now" Goodwitch called. Ginny came running towards Glynda, and hid behind her mother's legs.
"Ginny, I'm going to ask you a very important question, so listen to me carefully" Glynda said as she held her riding crop still at Molly's neck. Ginny looked up. "What question do you want me to answer, mum?"
Taking a deep breath, Glynda asked her question. "Do you wish Molly Weasley to play a part in your life?"
Ginny's first reaction was to yell "NO", but there was something about this woman, this person. She always tried to get Ginny to come with her, to bring Ginny back into the family. A family she never knew. Looking up at Molly's eyes, Ginny moved slowly from behind her mother's legs, until she was standing next to Glynda.
"I don't now you. I never knew you. And suddenly you appear in my life, with the intent of pulling me away from the only family I knew. For that, I should hate you. But I can't. While it was hard, you offered us a home, for a few days at the Burrow, to show us how wizards and witches live their lifes. But you expected so much from us, that we listen to you, follow your rules, and obey your every command, that we weren't been given any breathing room. Harry and I truly hated it there, for it was the very place that represent the world that threw us away like garbage."
"She's right." Harry said as he stepped forward, followed by the teams who were watching the entire time.
"When you learnd that Ginny would come to magical Britain, you seemed to drop everything and came to that platform where we first met. You almost kidnapped Ginny from the only friends she has ever known, all to have 'your perfect family' complete again" Harry said, as he looked at Molly's eyes, while he talked about the family.
"Ginny and I hated it at the Burrow. She told you why. But she left out the greatest irritation that was there. Your constand hovering over us"
Ginny nodded and took Harry's hand in hers.
"Harry and I are a team. Where he goes, I go. If you want to be a part of my life, you also need to be a part of his life, and probably the lives of Dora and Hermione."
Ginny took a deep breath. "I want to scream out that I don't want you to be a part of my life. But I can't, because we are two different worlds. You come from a world, where magic is real, while we believe that Magic is a semblance, an ability that is unique to each and everone of us. You believe that Radio, Television and many other technological items are just a figment of our imagination, while we live, breathe and use those things on a daily basis. You never heard of Grimm, or huntsmen, while Harry and I want to become Huntsmen and Huntresses. We wish to protect lives from the Grimm, so that others don't have to suffer."
Ginny looked at Molly's face, into the eyes that looked so much like hers. "We can't erase the past, and we can only guess what the future will bring. Will it bring war for us all, of a shining paradise? I don't know. But I'm willing to try to make a better future, a future where those of Wizards decent and Remnant decent can live together." Ginny gently wiped away a tear that came out of her eye.
"What I'm trying to say is, that I'm willing to give it a try, to have you in my life, as long as you don't try to lord over me like you did at the Burrow."
Ginny slowly let go of Harry and held out her hand to Molly Weasley, who grabbed Ginny's hand with both of hers, tears falling down the witches face.
"I'll try." Molly said. "I'll try."
