Your father is alive?" Said Mrs. Weasley as the twins, Ginny, Ron and Harry stood in the hallway as came in at around five in the morning.
"That sounds like he's not doing very well." Said Ron.
"The healers are optimistic," began Mrs. Weasley as she made her way down the hall. "Because we were informed of Arthur's situation in a quick time frame, the healers say that he'll be able pull through."
She turned to Harry and engulfed him in a hug. "Thank you Harry, you gave him the chance to survive."
Harry hugged the Weasley matriarch and they separated, not really knowing how he felt, whether he was innocent or guilty in the matter.
"Now, I'll make you all some breakfast since it's..." said Mrs. Weasley, pausing to check her watch. "Half five in the morning and the we can transfigure some clothes for you to all wear to the hospital."
It didn't take long for Mrs. Weasley to whip them up some sausages, bacon, eggs and some slices of buttered toast. for them to all have at the dinning table at Grimmauld Place. Harry merely picked at his food and even when he felt Ginny rub her hand over his thigh it made him feel a little better but he only ate a small strip of his bacon, it tasted like cardboard to him and immediately he felt uninterested in his plate of food, his mind was still racing.
"Harry dear," said Mrs. Weasley, concern in her tone as she watched Harry leave his plate of uneaten food infront of him untouched. "You really should eat."
"I'm not hungry Mrs. Weasley." Said Harry.
"It's not healthy of you to not eat Harry," said Mrs. Weasley. "I know you blame yourself for Arthur getting hurt but it wasn't your fault, you saved his life."
Harry gave Mrs. Weasley a small smile which seemed to ease her concern. "Now, do try and eat something."
Harry nodded and at least decided he should eat some of the food, however he felt very full quickly and the nauseous feeling his stomach overcame him ince again and he decided to pass his plate over to Ron.
His best looked at him with a concerned look but took the food when Harry nodded before leaving abruptly.
"I'll go-" Said Mrs. Weasley but she was interrupted by someone at the table.
"No," said Ginny, cutting her mother off. "I'll sort him out."
Her brothers and her mother all gave her a grateful smile as she got up from her seat at the table and walked down the hallway to the stairs, she heard a door shut and lock itself somewhere on the upper floors of the house and she made her waybup the stairs.
She found that he was in his and Ron's bedroom that they had been sharing since he had arrived at Grimmauld place in the middle of the summer.
She knocked gently on the door, her knuckles rattling the locked doo twice.
"Please leave me alone," said Harry from inside. "I'm not interested."
"Didn't know I was so boring to you." Said Ginny in a snarky tone as she turned away from the door, she had already had one of her hands on the banister as she was about to make her way back downstairs when Harry's muffled voice came from his and Ron's room.
"I'm sorry Gin," said Harry, almost desperately to her. "Please don't go."
Ginny pushed open the door and found Harry sitting with his legs crossed, his back to the door as he stared out of the window at the street below.
"Hey." She said, a bit of fire laced into her tone, she wasn't about to let her boyfriend be a moody git.
"Hey," Said Harry a little awkwardly, realising that Ginny was probably annoyed at him. "You should probably leave, I've already been controlled by Voldemort by attacking your dad." He had said with genuine concern and a bit of spite in his tone.
Ginny scoffed. "Is this your attempt at being as thick as Crabbe and Goyle because your sure as hell overachieving at that?"
Harry looked taken a back and Ginny wasn't done there. "Harry, as much as I think you are an amazing guy, who has a big heart and is very noble and courageous and has been through so much, you can be thick as shit at times." Harry made to interject and Ginny put her hand up. "I'm not done yet with you Potter!" Her tone and they she addressed him made him stiffen in shock as he realised that she was pissed at him. "You have to realise that unless you have the ability to apparate through the wards of Hogwarts and have a clone of yourself in your bed, there is no way you could've attacked dad, no matter how for what ever reason, you've concocted in your head you can be in two places at once and transform into a snake."
"Ginny," began Harry. "I saw your dad get bitten, I was the snake."
"Yeah, you saw my dad get attacked, you didn't do it yourself you git." Ginny chastised Harry.
"But I could attack him or anyone else for that matter," said Harry worriedly. "I could've been controlled by him, or possessed, no one here knows what it's like to have constant visions in their head!"
Ginny seethed with anger and if Harry wasnt careful, she was about to explode. "So what! You act as if no one has ever been in your situation, excuse me did you forget my first year!"
Harry paled as he realised that he had forgotten about Ginny being possessed by Tom Riddle. "I'm sorry," Said Harry apologetically. "I forgot that you were actually possessed."
"Easy for you to say," Said Ginny snidely. "And its nice to know you care."
"Oh I'm sorry." Said Harry angrily losing his temper. "Funnily enough, I've had to deal with that wanker every year since eleven, he's been on my arse most of my life!"
"Doesn't mean you can be such a bell end about it!" Said Ginny back with as much temper as Harry.
Their voices were now raised at eachother, downstairs the Weasleys and Sirius who had turned up through the floo, he'd had an important meeting with some order members and had returned to everyone sitting quietly round the table whilst he heard the sound of Harry and Ginny's voices.
He thought her brothers would be concerned.
"Oh our little sister is a spitfire in arguments." Said Fred chuckling a little.
"Yeah, Harry won't know what hit him and she'll whip him into shape." Said George. "Can be scary and a real nightmare to deal with at times."
Ron nodded his head in agreement as Sirius chose sit down and crack upon a bottle of butterbeer for himself as he listened to the unfolding argument upstairs.
Harry and Ginny meanwhile were in a bit of a standoff as none of them said anything after Ginny's most recent comment.
"Gin, I don't want to put anyone in danger by being here," began Harry, Ginny raised her eyebrow as to if to ask why the hell he was saying something else even stupider than before. "He could control me and I don't want anyone getting hurt."
"Harry I've said this to you before and I'll say it again you bloody moron," Said Ginny. "Us Weasleys are blood traitors! We are already number one on Voldemort's hit list, I've already fought him in my first year so I don't care if you think leaving us will protect us, if anything we are more vulnerable."
Harry didn't say anything so Ginny continued. "Besides if Tom pops his stupid face here I'll kick his arse for my first year, I've got a bone to pick with him as much as you have and you are one of us, you are a part of this family."
Harry felt tears in his eyes and Ginny rushed up to hug him as he began to sob into her arms, she quietly used her wand to shut the door and lock it and a few privacy wards inplace.
She knew exactly why he had broken down like this, Harry was a person who liked to bottle up his own feelings and when he let them all out he would often feel guilty and upset. In particular, her telling him he was a part of the Weasley family had been something he wasn't expecting, a family was something Harry would give up everything for a chance to have, or even just to be loved.
"I'm sorry," Said Harry as pulled himself from Ginny's shoulder and held her close to his chest. "You are right, I'm a fucking stupid git that doesn't deserve someone like you."
"No, you do Harry." Said Ginny. "You are a stupid git, but nobody is flawless, no one is perfect, even I can be an arsehole at times, it what makes us human."
Harry nodded as he embraced Ginny again, he felt much better when her arms were around him, like he was in a small bubble that one could touch him in other than Ginny herself.
Ginny placed a kiss to his cheek as she grabbed both of his hands in hers, her blazing look still having not been fazed or blown out like a candle but the anger was no longer there, only determination.
"You are an amazing person Harry, never put yourself down like that." Said Ginny. "You've saved my life and you saved my dad's life, so we owe it to you a lot, whether you like it or not."
Harry nodded as they kissed lovingly, he hated arguing with Ginny and he was very happy that their mouths were being used for something else other than shouting at each other.
"Are you ready to go back downstairs?" Asked Ginny quietly.
"Yeah, I'm wondering if Sirius arrived." Said Harry as Ginny turned around and he gasped a little as her short uniform skirt, due to it being a little small on her, brushed over his crotch.
Harry grabbed her hips in a reactionary way and Ginny gasped as Harry hardened from her ministrations.
"Oh uh, sorry I didn't mean to-" began Harry but was cut off when Ginny rubbed her backside against Harry.
"I think your a bit tense Potter, and I can solve that, we dont need to go down ther yet if you want," Said Ginny with a saucy wink as she pushed Harry into the wall by the bed and brushed her backside against his crotch again, pressing her back up against his chest. "I can just do this instead."
"Fuck," Moaned Harry as Ginny ground against him, hsi erection alrwady growing bigger and harder. "Ginny that feels bloody brilliant."
"I really like it as well." Said Ginny as she moved her backside up against his bulge that had formed in his trousers from her ministrations, she blessed the fact that her skirt was quite short and tight as she knew that was making the both of them enjoy it even more.
Harry moaned again as he tensed up even more, he thanked merlin that Ginny had agreed to do this, the feeling of her arse in her tight, short skirt to rub against his cock was making him feel pleasure that felt even better than when she used her hand over his trousers.
He rubbed his hands over her hips and enjoyed the sight as Ginny moaned as the result of his hardness. He could feel himself getting ever so closer to climaxing and he wanted to hold on as long as possible, the continuous jolts of plessure that coursed from his lower region as a result of Ginny's lovely arse was making him moan even more.
"Oh god Harry, you feel so good and hard there." Said Ginny, biting her bottom lip as she looked at him.
Harry bent himself down to capture her lips with his as she gave him a slow rub of her arse over his bulge as their lips locked together. Harry found himself moaning through the kiss as he got closer and closer to his climax.
"Ginny, I'm c-close." Harry stuttered ad he continued to moan.
Ginny moved her arse up and down his crotch area at a quicker rate, his training bulge loving the feeling of her behind and it was around half a minute later that Harry pulled Ginny using his hands on her hips towards him as he climaxed, making a mess in his boxers.
Ginny moved herself away and Harry sighed in contentment as blinked blinked few times, he locked eyes with Ginny who blushed.
"I can't believe we just did that." Said Ginny breathlessly, her face resembling her hair, she glanced down at his crotch area seeing faint wet patches that suggested Harry had indeed made a huge mess in his boxers.
Harry used his wand to clean himself up and he beamed at Ginny. "That was amazing Gin, I don't know how to describe it."
"Come on," she said as she held out a hand for him to take. "We should head back downstairs, everyone is probably waiting for us."
"I'm sorry for being a git." Said Harry as he took her hand in his and made his way with her down the stairs.
"It's behind us now, just remember we care about you and we've all been through difficult stuff, even if isn't always the same as yours." Said Ginny as they turned the corner at the bottom of the stairs and they made their way back into the dining room.
When they entered the dining room, all of the Weasley's and Sirius were looking at the young couple expectantly.
They sat down at the table together, still holding hands as Sirius cleared his throat. "Sounded like you were having fun up their."
Harry and Ginny did their best not to blush as Sirius would have only heard the argument portion of their tiff upstairs.
"We kissed and made up." Said Harry with a small smile.
"Does this mean you are going to stop saying you attacked dad when you didn't?" Asked Ron.
"I know, I've been a massive git lately, I promise I won't accused myself of attacking anyone of you." Said Harry.
"Good," said Mrs. Weasley as she came in through the kitchen with a large bowl of apple crumble that she had whipped up. "Now whose ready for some pudding."
Harry smiled as he felt Ginny rub circles into his unscarred hand, at least he could now enjoy his holiday with the people he loved most, and his appetite had now returned as accepted the bowl of crumble.
*
Harry once again hated having a massive guard of Order members around him, he felt like he didn't have much privacy and he didn't feel safe, even though these witches and wizards where capable, he couldn't blame them for his uneasiness.
Thankfully he and Ginny were able to stick together and the two held hands tightly as they strolled down the street towards the entrance to St. Mungo's hospital for magical maladies.
The entrance in question was an old, closed down shop that ahd a sign stating it was closed for refurbishment.
They stepped through the glass when people weren't watching and Harry found himself in a busy waiting room, many witches and wizards bustling about, probably attending appointments or checkups, either that or they were seeing friends and family who were in the hospital recovering.
They made their way up to the fourth floor, looking for the ward that Mr. Weasley was staying on whilst he recovered from the attack.
They entered the ward, which was relatively small, it had no other occupants other than Arthur Weasley.
He looked okay from what Harry could tell, he was propped up on several pillows, a copy of the daily prophet in hands as he looked to be doing the crossword when the Weasley's, Harry and Remus entered the ward.
"Dad!" Said Ginny as she ran to him first out of all the Weasley children.
Arthur hugged his only daughter, out of all of his children, Ginny was the slight favourite as he had hoped as much as Molly that they would one day have a girl.
"How are you Arthur?" Said Remus, shaking the man's hand.
"Much better now that I'm here, they keep having to reapply the stitches but they reckon it'll take around a week or two before I fully recover after they give me an antidote for the venom," Explained Arthur as everyone sat down to gather around him.
Ginny had convientely placed herself in Harry's lap and Arthur's eyes twinkled at Harry and he gave him a beaming smile at seeing the development of his daughter and her boyfriends relationship, he hoped now that Harry would officially be a part of the family in a couple of years.
"How come no one else is here then Dad?" Asked Ron.
"Well there were two other people here previously," began Arthur. "One chap had been attacked by a werewolf and was bitten a few days before the first full moon. The other was a woman with a nasty chunk of her leg taken out, the wound smelled awful and had swelled up as well which leads me to believe it ws a dragon bite, especially since she wasn't willing to say where she got it from."
The talk was centered around Christmas plans and more eon Arthruss recovery before the order members told Harry and his friends they would need to leave as they had some private business to attend to.
Harry was bummed that they ahd to leav the ward, however he felt a wright in his pocket followed by Ginny walking away from him.
He felt in his pocket and pulled out an extendable ear.
"Come on guys, let's head up to the cafe." Said Ginny as she gave Harry a subtle wink. The rest of the Weasley boys headed off with Ginny to the cafe on the top floor whilst Harry pressed one part of the extendable ear up against the door and the other part to his ear.
"Arthur, we know you were attacked but can you recall much from your point of view?" Moody asked.
Arthur paled a little. "Well Harry saved my life and said he saw everything from the snakes point of view," he took a sip of his glass of water on his bedside table before carrying on. "I heard loud banging and saw what looked like one of those muggle firelegs." Arthur botched the term firearm but Harry payed that no kind as the Weasley patriarch carried on.
"Then there was an awful smell, I heard the sound of flesh being ripped up and I felt fear and despair coming from somewhere before falling back into unconsciousness as well." Arthur finished.
"Potter thought he was being possessed, but Ginny whipped him into shape, you should've heard the argument they had and I'm pretty sure they got frisky up there," said Remus with a chuckle. "They both looked very happy when they came back downstairs."
"Well it's good that my little spitfire is keeping Harry grounded at times," Said Arthru a little sadly. "I do feel for him and I'm glad he has found happiness somewhere."
"He has a lot to worry about when he gets back." Said Tonks.
"Actually, if we are done here, I'd like to speak with Harry privately." Said Arthur.
Harry fumbled with the extendable ear in his hands as he stowed it away just as Remus opened the door.
"Hello Harry," said Remus who looked around confused. "Where did Ron, Ginny and the twins run off too?"
"Oh they went to the cafe on the top floor I believe, I didn't feel like joining them." Harry lied about the last part.
"Well good thing you stayed because Arthur would like to have a chat with you." Said Remus before he walked away to the stairs of the hospital to head on up to find the Weasley children.
Harry gulped nervously as he entered the ward again and the door shut behind him.
"You're not in trouble Harry." Said Arthur kindly as Harry sat down on a chair infront of him.
"What did you want to talk to me about Mr. Weasley?" Asked Harry.
"Now that I know that you are in a relationship with my daughter, I wanted to tell you I am really happy for the both of you. However, I trust that you will treat her right as I always believed you would." Arthur said.
"I'll make sure I do." Said Harry.
"If anything I would probably worry more about Ginny, can be a feisty one when she doesn't get what she wants." Said Arthur with a chuckle.
"We had an argument at Grimmauld Place and I was being a bit of a git about attacking you." Said Harry.
"Harry, I'm sure you are tired of hearing it but you were not responsible for attacking me, you saved my life because you saw what the snake was seeing, and I am eternally grateful for that," Said Arthur. "You seem to have a knack for saving us Weasley's."
Harry blushed a little but looked a little saddened. "It's just, I've never really had a family that are related to me that actually care about me, your family is the closest thing I've had to a family, you accepted me when I practically turned up on your doorstep."
"Molly will tell you this as well, but we would never have turned you away, you were Ron's best friend and you surprised us with how mature you were for your age. You are like another son to me, and I hope that one day if you still like Ginny that maybe you can be officially a member if the Weasley family," Said Arthur and Harry blushed a deep red. "But you shouldn't be worrying about that right now."
Harry shook his head. "I appreciate that you trust me with Ginny, I know alot of daughters fathers would not want them in a relationship until they are older."
"Ginny would've had my head if I restricted her fron having any form of a relationship with someone until she was at keadt seventeen, however I only want what is best for her," said Arthur. "There was also something else I wanted to talk to you about."
"What is it Mr. Weasley?" Asked Harry.
"I know this is a bit of a private and embarrassing topic but have you ever had the talk as they call it, or a talk about certain things that can happen when two people love each other." Asked Arthur.
"No, I know my Uncle Vernon had one with Dudley and when I was curious he just shouted at me and told me I won't need it as no one would ever love a freak like me." Said Harry sadly.
Arthur felt anger towards Harry's aunt and uncle, however he pushed it aside for now, he had asked Sirius if he should be the one to have this discussion with Harry when the time was right and Sirius agreed, he could always give some helpful pointers but Sirius had never had the talk himself and had slept around alot in his younger years.
"Now I assume you know about things like sex," said Arthur and Harry blushed but nodded. "Well you know that sometimes when two people love each other, they don't think about things like protection, whilst having a child is wonderful and believe me I would know." Said Arthur with a smile. "It's not always the right time to have one as a result of a first time, so I'm going to teach you some spells that can help prevent that should you and Ginny wish to proceed with another step in your relationship."
Harry nodded and blushed again, thinking about sex with Ginny was something that he was sure would be something from his wildest dreams. "It's not something I wish to say but I'm not going to stop you and Ginny, you were both forced to grow up alot quickly thanks to your experiences in life, so this is a part of growing up. and I would be a hypocrite if I told you to wait till sixteen or seventeen."
What followed was an interesting quick lesson of the contraception charm, as well as the potions that Harry and Ginny could take before hand and it would last for at least a month. Arthur also informed Harry that if he timed it well with Ginny's monthlies, there would be no chance that she would get pregnant if there was a fault with the potions.
They had finished the conversation when Remus entered the room and told Harry that they were now leaving and Harry gave Arthur a firm handshake before leaving the man to get some rest.
"Have a good chat?" Asked Remus.
"Yeah I did." Said Harry smiling as he saw Ginny approach him, she had a small paper bag in her hand which she passed to Harry.
"Thought you might like this." Said Ginny as Harry opened it and pulled out a very tasty looking treacle tart, his favourite desert.
"Thanks Gin." Said Harry as he gave her a loving kiss, which she returned back with as much passion.
"Ewww!!" Groaned the twins as they covered their eyes in a joking manner almost, even though they actually would not want to see Harry and Ginny lock lips
When the adults weren't looking, Ginny stuck her middle finger up at them before going back to kissing Harry again, they were interrupted again when Mrs. Weasley informed them that they were to be heading back to headquarters.
*
Sirius seemed numch more merry and joyful that he wouldn't be on his own for Christmas, as he was still a wanted fugitive by the ministry and had been confined to the walls of his family home.
Harry had seen him eagerly decorating the house for Christmas, there was tinsel wrapped around every banister on the set of stairs leading up to the many floors, the beheaded house elves on the wall were decorated with santa hats on each one of their heads.
Sirius had also managed to remove the painting of his deceased mother, walburga black with the help of Dumbledore, she constantly screamed at people as they passed by, especially the Weasley's being blood traitors and Sirius for letting them "befoul the ancient house of black."
Harry knew Sirius hated his childhood home life and it was something they bonded over a lot.
"You know, that time when you told me how Ron came with the twins to rip the bars off your windows and get you out of the Dursley's in their flying car reminds of how I turned up on James's front door step when I was sixteen." Said Sirius one evening when it was just him and Harry that were still awake. It was Christmas eve and Harry hadn't felt too tired, so he had stayed up talking with Sirius.
"It so weird almost how much similar we are in terms of experiences," Said Sirius and Harry nodded. "We both grew up in household we hated, we both found our escape through going to Hogwarts, our best mates helped us escape our awful homes and we both aren't being listened to by higher ups."
"Your right," said Harry. "When did you decide you were going to run away from home though."
Sirius took a sip of his butterbeer before setting it back down on the table. "Voldemort had decided to come over for dinner to meet with my family about his aspirations of taking over the wizarding world, my mother and father were strong followers of Voldemort's cause and I realised from that moment that I wasn't safe, I didn't want to take the dark mark so I informed James on the two-way mirrors we both had and I basically legged it away from the house and used a portkey that I made illegally and it took me just outside your dad's house and he let me in and I stayed with them for rest of the summer and continued to stay with them after until I eventually got my own place."
"It's not something I'm proud of, being a part of the black family." Said Sirius looking glumly at the wall the hid the sitting room next door. "However we all have shades of grey in our lives, or our families or even ourselves."
Harry nodded solemnly. "I hope we can capture Peter one day and prove your innocence."
"Don't worry about that now," Said Sirius shaking his head. "Whilst I hate being confined to this house, I understand why and we will have plenty of time once the ministry get their lazy arses together to get me the trial I should've had."
Harry nodded and Sirius grinned at him. "You better get some sleep, now doubt that your lovely girlfriend will want some sleep and she won't be getting it if she's having to wait for you too join her."
Harry blushed but bid Siruus goodnight, his godfather winked at him as he quietly made his way up the stairs, making sure to check that Ron was asleep before heading up an extra floor.
He knocked on Ginny's door faintly and he entered when he heard her voice say he could come in. He opened the door and saw her laying on the bed, the cover strewn about and she looked at him and their eyes met.
She was wearing a rather short pair of pyjamas shorts that showed off her shapely legs and her top had one of the buttons undone.
"Hey you." Said Harry as he climbed into the bed next to her after he had shut and re-locked the door, placing soem privacy wards over the room as well.
"Hey yourself," Ginny said back as she kissed him. "You took your time with Sirius."
"Sorry, I was just having a fun conversation with him, he actually told me I shouldn't keep you waiting." Ssid Harry with smirk.
"Don't be, but I thought we were doing our best to keep this," Said Ginny her finger pointing at the bed sheets where their legs had wrapped around ecahother. "A secret."
"I think Sirius just has a knack of knowing thing about the house, it's not like we aren't mad for each other anyway so he probably expected it and he doesn't see anything wrong with it.
"Well I guess since it is a few minutes until Christmas," said Ginny as she checked her bedside clock, it did indeed show that it was around seven minutes till Christmas morning. "We should enjoy ourselves a little bit."
Harry grinned as Ginny unwrapped her legs from around him and she straddled him over his waist as he lay there. "What did you have in mind Miss Weasley?"
"Something along the lines of this." Said Ginny as she bent her head down to capture Harry's lips with hers as their hands ran over each other and they exchanged touches as they made out till it was well past midnight and it was Christmas day.
