THE BOY WITH THE PIERCING BLUE EYES

Chapter 25 – Blood, rabbit and dementors (part 2)

"Harry!" Rowena called the boy after class. All the others were packing their books, a few even left the classroom, hoping for some delicious dinner.

"Yes, professor?" Harry turned to her with a blank face.

"Harry... Why do I feel like you're avoiding me?" The woman looked at him with a beautiful smile.

But the boy made up his mind not to let himself be charmed by the woman's beauty.

"Oh... that's... I'm not." He smiled awkwardly. "I just... have to study a lot... Yes, I have to study a lot lately." He mumbled. "And I'm a little tired because of that..."

Rowena frowned.

"Are you sure? You know you can tell me if something's wrong..."

"Um... sure." He said. He couldn't lie to her as easily as he hoped. "Now, I have to..." He looked towards the door.

"Don't you want to drink a hot chocolate with me?"

"Um... yeah... yeah, some other time. If it's not a trouble." Harry added with a weird face.

"O-okay. I'll be waiting..."

"Goodbye." The boy ran out.

Harry, with a parchment in his hands, was nervously standing in front of the door of Remus' room. He wrinkled the paper some more, repeating what he was about to say then knocked.

"Come in!" Remus called from inside.

Harry stepped in, but his stomach clenched. Ron and Hermione were sitting there, having tea. He looked at them disappointed. Harry though they were over this. Then he remembered why he was here.

"Remus... hi..." He smiled at the man. He just couldn't look at him angrily. "I need a... signature, here. Look." Harry gave him the paper.

Lupin looked at it for a while then glanced at the boy questioningly.

"They are in the restricted area." Harry smiled awkwardly.

"They are books of Charms..."

"Yes! They are... I need them for the special class..."

"Why aren't you asking Professor Flitwick to sign this?"

"They told me at the staff room that he's not in right now... and I thought, maybe you..."

"Sure." Remus looked at the two prefects. "I'll sign it..."

Harry's eyes brightened, but when Lupin looked at him, he was only smiling, like nothing ever happened.

"Thank you."

"Don't you want to drink a tea with us?"

"Oh... I don't want to disturb you..."He looked at them a little angrily.

"You wouldn't disturb us..."

"I can imagine." Harry sighed. "I'm going now. I have some work to do." He said waving the parchment.

He made his way to the library. A few students were already there, studying for the finals. He went straight to the librarian and handed her the list. The woman looked at him suspiciously then let him enter the restricted area.

Harry went to the last shelf where the books about charms and symbols were. He sighed when he realized how many books there were about this topic. He took eight books and went to a table. He sat down, and pulled out the drawing he made and opened the first book. He made a barricade with the other books and looked at all the pictures. He found some interesting ones. Two books and three hours later he started to feel disorientated by the many symbols. With a sigh he closed the book he was reading , grabbed it with the others and stood in line in front of the librarian's desk to get a stamp on them and take them to his room.

Harry's head was hitting the pillow every so often.

"I'm dead tired..."

Ginny, lying next to him, smiled.

"We should have started sooner." She said.

"Hey, I only need five more inches." Harry snorted. "And I'm running out of ink too..." He picked up the almost empty bottle.

"We'll buy some in Hogsmade this weekend."

"It won't last that long..."

"Then I'll give you some! Will you come shopping with me?"

"Where did you get money to shop?" Ron looked up questioningly from his bed.

"None of your business! But I was saving up." Ginny shrugged. "There are people who don't break their ink bottle every day... So, will you come Harry? They say that a new clothes shop opened near the stationery shop."

"Sure. What exactly do you want to buy?"

"A few black skirts..."

"Why are you wearing black clothes nowadays? I always wanted to know." Hermione asked.

"Just because." The girl said mysteriously. "Because I like it."

"It goes well with the color of your hair." Harry stroked her face. "We can go. Who knows, I myself might end up buying something..."

"I though there will be training this weekend..." Ron muttered.

"I thought you were going shopping to the Diagon Alley with your mom this weekend." Harry rebuked. Mrs. Weasley got permission to take the two prefect to buy new robes, because Ron grew a lot recently.

"Oh, yeah..." The redhead muttered with resentment in his voice.

"What is this?" Ginny asked chuckling, picking up a red book from Harry's shelf.

"Oh, put that down." Harry laughed. "That's not something for you to read..."

"What do you mean?"

"I know how it feels when adults tell you that you're not old enough to do something, but now I have to say that this doesn't belong in your hands..."

"But what is it?" The stubborn girl asked.

"It's a gift from my girlfriend... It's not really a book for children..."

"You mean... these stories are erotic?" Ginny smiled and opened the book.

"You know... it's illustrated with pictures..."

Ginny chuckled while turning a page, then gasped and closed the book. She was red like a tomato.

"I told you so." Harry said not looking up from his Divination homework.

"What things do you give to my little sister?" Ron looked at him darkly.

However, Harry just smiled and finished his essay humming.

"So even though we made up, they still leave me out." Harry kicked the dirt while walking on the streets of Hogsmade. "But I changed a lot. They can't say that I'm rude now. Even so, I caught them having tea in Remus' room without me the other day..."

"They can have tea with Remus alone. They know the Order, and Lupin too. Maybe he invited only them, and not you."

"It still sucks. I hate nothing more than the friends I introduce to each other getting friendlier without me..."

"Why are you saying that? Lupin loves you!"

"They probably planning something..."

"You're execrating." Ginny sighed. "Come on, we're here!"

Harry, before the girl dragged him in, could read the sign above the door. "The newest London fashion! Buy two skirts and we give you a shirt for free!"

"Look, there are so many people here!" Ginny exclaimed.

"Hm... yeah... Why is everything so colorful here?" Harry grimaced.

"They say it's the newest fashion."

"Didn't you say that you would like to wear black?"

"I did. In case I find something not too horrible here... Wow, look at this blouse!" She picked up a semi-transparent, short sleeve lace blouse."It comes with lace gloves!"

"Pretty." Harry smiled. "Go try it on! Let me see!"

While Ginny went to the changing rooms, Harry looked around. A black coat with dark-red embroidery caught his attention. He put his bag and robes down on the ground and tried it on. While looking into the mirror he turned around a couple of times and noted with satisfaction that he liked what he saw. When he realized that there are trousers going with it, he pulled them out.

That's when Ginny ran to him, blushing hard.

"Look! How do I look?"

"You're... beautiful..." He stuttered, looking at the girl. The blouse fit the girl perfectly, making her look very womanly.

"Oh, Harry! I'll definitely buy this! And look what else I found!" She showed him a few skirts. "There are a few more in the corner... Wow, that coat looks really good on you! Do you want to buy it?"

"It just... caught my attention. But even if it looks good on me... I don't think I would wear something like this too often..."

"Don't be like this, Harry! If it's good and you like it, why wouldn't you buy it? Who knows, there might be an occasion in the near future when you'd like to wear this! Try the pants on too!" She dragged him to the changing rooms.

They spent half an hour in the store. Harry realized how good he looked in those clothes. Ginny liked hers too, but she had more heartache than money. She looked sadly at them when the saleswoman gave her a new one.

"What do you think about this one?"

This skirt was better than the others combined, at least according to Ginny. She looked at it in awe.

"Try it on!" The woman told her.

Ginny looked at the price tag, and her smile fell when she saw the it.

"Nine Galleons?" She whispered.

"What's wrong, Ginny?" Harry walked over to her with his newly bought clothes in his hands.

"Thanks, but no thanks..."

"Why aren't you trying it on?"

"Harry..." She whispered. "I don't even have one galleon, not nine!"

"Just try it on!" Harry insisted.

The girl let herself be pushed into the changing room.

The saleswoman put the clothes that the girl already picked out in a bag, while adding up the prices. There were two skirts, a blouse and a shirt in it. Then both her and Harry was waiting anxiously to see how Ginny looked in the expensive skirt.

The girl pulled open the curtains. Harry's mouth fell.

"That's... beautiful..." He said with a smile.

"Indeed... but... you know I can't afford this..."

"Just go and look for some nice shoes with high heels! Don't care about the rest!" The boy said and pulled out his purse.

"Harry, you can't do that... I won't let you!"

"Ginny!" Harry looked at her. "Look, I want to buy you this skirt... even if you don't let me pay for the others. I want you to feel beautiful again. And if this skirt can help, we won't leave it here. I'm sure Graham would buy you this if he was here instead of me."

Ginny's lips trembled and with a sob she hugged Harry.

"Thank you so much! I'm so grateful and all!" She wiped her eyes.

"Go on!"

A half hour later they stepped out of the shop with several bags of clothes.

"Do you want some butterbear?"

"Yeah." Harry nodded.

They walked around in Hogsmade and saw a few of their professors visiting too. The twins were window-shopping with Snape watching their every move.

"Hello!" Ginny greeted them. "Good afternoon, professor!"

"Hello!" A woman said.

"Tonks!" They yelled. Snape just rolled his eyes. "How did you get here?"

"I just visited my dear werewolf." She winked. "There are a lot of people in the Three Broomsticks so we decided to just walk around for a while..."

"Did anyone else..." Harry whispered. "...come from the Order?"

"Just Moody. He's somewhere around here. He was complaining about the puddle..."

"Hi!" Remus took her hand and kissed her. Rowena looked at her, then held out her hand. Adelaide and Lucinda fanned themselves with their gloves then walked away without a word.

"What's their problem?" Tonks asked.

"Don't worry, they're always like this." Severus said.

"It is true that you're raising rabbits nowadays?"

Snape's eyes widened for a moment then he looked at the twins angrily.

"Very funny. That rabbit means a lot to me."

"Severus got it from his son." Remus added.

"I didn't know you had a child." Tonks raised her eyebrows.

Then with a smile she added.

"You're older than I thought."

"I'm no older than Remus." Severus said, indicating the quite big age-gap between the witch and Lupin.

The werewolf blushed, making a satisfied smile appear on his colleague's face.

"And how old is your son?"

"He turned eighteen in the summer." The man smiled proudly.

"Eighteen? Then you became a father pretty young... I wonder if he's good at Potions."

"It doesn't matter."

"But I think you'd be glad if he was good at it. It'd be a shame if he sucked..."

"I wouldn't mind it even if he was as bad as you were. Only Longbottom is worse than you."

"That wasn't fair!"

"Severus, you taught Tonks?" Rowena asked in surprise. She didn't think the witch was that young.

"Yes indeed. A memorable..."

However, he couldn't finish it, because screams could be heard from the street nearby. They all looked up and pulled out their wands, while running there. Harry and Ginny did the same, but people were running their way.

"Dementor! Dementor!" An old witch shouted from her window.

People were trying to find places to hid. Even Honeybourne and Stainthorp were hiding in a bookstore.

"Cowards!" Severus hissed.

"Oh God, that many...!" Tonks whispered. "There are more than fifty of them!"

"Wands at a ready!" Moody said behind them. Snape winced, shook his head then looked at the looming figures again.

"Don't stay far from each other!" Rowena said. "Children!" She looked at Harry and Ginny. "Go find shelter!"

"We know the Patronus charm!"

The woman was surprised but there was no time to explain.

"Expecto Patronum!" Remus shouted. A white shape came out of his wand, scaring the nearby dementors away.

"Ginny!" Harry hid their bags under a box. "Can you do it? Just think of something really good! Find a very strong memory!"

The girl nodded and pulled out her wand.

They all sent their patronuses out. The twins saw a couple attacked by three dementors, and they ran to help them. Then a window breaking could be heard. A man jumped through it to get to safety. A few brave people came to help the teachers. They all knew the patronus charm too.

"Ginny! We have to stop them before they reach the center of the town or the school!"

"Okay! Watch out! Expecto Patronum!" Her patronus came out, attacking the dementor that was approaching them.

"That was really good!" Harry said.

"I had a good teacher." The girl smiled.

"Tonks, watch out!" Harry yelled when he saw a dementor getting near her. "Expecto Patronum!"

His silver stag appeared and sent a few dementors away. Rowena watched the students from afar. She was surprised that they knew such powerful spells.

Moody's strong spell sent away a lot of them, as well as Snape's. Then he saw one approaching Ginny.

"Miss Weasley! Run!"

A lot of people said the spell at once.

"Expecto Patronum!"

A patronus appeared from the wand of a young boy with black hair too.

"Lamerin!" Snape shouted.

The dementors flew away and they could see why Ginny was frozen in place.

Her brothers were fighting with six dementors, and even though they used the spell well, their enemies attacked them from each side.

"Fred!" The girl shouted when she saw the boys separating.

George fainted and fell to the ground. Four dementors attacked his brother who also fell.

"Fred!" Lameriin shouted and ran to them.

Harry turned his wand towards them.

"Make them go away! Make them go away!" He shouted to the stag.

The patronus nodded and uniting with the other four saved the Weasley twins.

The dementors, seeing the overpower, fled from the town.

"Fred!" Lamerin kept shouting because the boy remained motionless on the ground. "Fred!" He whispered when he reached the other boy. He knelt down and hugged him. George crawled there too. Out of the teachers, Snape arrived first. He knelt down across his son, looked at him once then turned to the unconscious twin.

"He's not... he's not..." George shook.

Harry has never seen them like this before.

"He's gonna be fine, right Dad?" A desperate Lamerin asked.

Severus felt the skin of Fred's face cold. However, when he opened the boy's eye, the twin shook. The light obviously hurt his eyes.

"Fred, are you okay?" Ginny cried.

"Move, young lady." Moody walked there. The artificial leg made it a little hard to walk. With his magical eye he was watching Fred. "Hm..."

"Is he okay?" Tonks asked.

"Don't die, Fred!" Lamerin sobbed.

"I don't want to..." He said slowly.

Everybody sighed in relief, and sank to the ground. They didn't mind their robes getting muddy. They were all dirty to the boot already.

Lamerin hugged his friend then let the others do the same. He sat on his knees and looked at his father, who was still kneeling in front of him. The man's eyes watered, raised his hand slowly, wiped it on his clothes and stroked his son's dirty face. He kept his hand there for a while then ruffled his beautiful hair.

"Oh, Dad!" Lamerin jumped on him, when Fred was sent to the school.

Severus held the boy close, his head on his son's shoulder, keeping him there, so he won't be able to escape. He smiled and cried, but didn't say a word.

Lamerin sobbed then looked at him with a smile.

"Aren't you... saying anything?"

"I just... can't..." He kissed the boy's forehead. "When... I last held you in my arm, you... couldn't even talk..."

"Dad..." The boy whispered.

"How I wanted to hear you say that..." Severus smiled, rockingthe boy. "I'm so... so happy, that you're alive... that you're allright..."

He was unbelievably happy. The last time he felt like this was when his family was still together.

"Promise me, you won't run away anymore... that you won't leave me..."

"I promise... I promise everything..."

Hey guys! I'm back with a brand new chapter. Sorry. I know I promised to update sooner, but the last few month of 2012 were horrible. And now midterm finals are coming up and I'm fed up with studying so I decided to translate some. I'd like to make a few chapters, but I need some encouragement to do so. A few reviews might make me finish a chapter or two. Otherwise you'll have to wait until July to get more. Sorry to do this. I don't like when others write that they will update if they get xy reviews. I'm not saying that. It's just that I don't have any inspiration to do this if no one says anything. A "keep going" will be enough, really.

I'm still looking for a Beta, so the quality isn't so good. I was trying to wait for the responses (I've sent out quite a few e-mails) but no one answered, so the mistakes will remain. I'm sorry about that. If you seriously can't overlook them, then don't read. No use telling me that it sucks grammatically. Sorry.

Thank you for the favorites and follows too.

R&R please.

Bye
