Chapter 15

Aftermath

AN: I don't own anything. Just the plot really and a few OCs. Let me state that I stopped writing this story because I lost the journal it was in and then I found it but lost all Love for the story. I still read every review that gets posted. I found the journal again (yes i lost it again, hush) and i still do love the story but i'll post what i have written and we'll see what happens.

"Mr. Weasley?" Harry asked from his hospital bed.

"Yes, Harry?" Arthur asked, turning to smile at the young boy.

"I just wanted to say thank you." Harry said with a shy smile, ducking his head cutely.

"You don't have to thank me, Harry, I would have done it no matter what." Arthur said with a smile. Both Harry and Arthur looked towards the door hearing loud voices getting closer.

"Harry?!" Sirius called as he rushed into the room. Harry's eyes lit up at the sight of his godfather.

"Sirius!" Harry said, happiness seeming to pour from him. Sirius rushed forward and wrapped Harry in the tightest hug he could manage while being careful of his injuries.

"Are you ok? Who am I kidding of course you're not." Sirius said with a tight smile as he began checking Harry over.

"I'm ok Siri. I mean my hands won't quit shaking and my head hurts and i'm hungry. But other than that I'm ok. And I made a new friend!" Harry said grinning bright at the thought of the funny redhead that had been with him.

"Did you? And who might this new friend be?" Sirius asked, looking at Arthur with an amused smile.

"Mr. Weasley's daughter, Ginny. She's still sleeping but I think you'll like her. She's really funny." Harry said grinning.

"I bet she is. Why don't you get some sleep and you can introduce me to her later. And when you wake up Remus will have made your favorite food." Sirius said with a soft smile as he smoothed back Harry's messy hair.

"I don't want to go to sleep until I know Neville is ok." Harry said, his bright eyes turning worried.

"Ok, Mad-eye is still looking for him. Do you feel like answering questions?" Sirius asked with a sad smile. 'He looks so much like James' Sirius thought, his chest aching.

"I guess." Harry said with a shrug. He smiled brightly when the door opened and revealed Amelia.

"Harry decided he feels like answering questions." Sirius said with a tight smile. Amelia nodded and conjoued a chair and placed it next to Harry's bed, she then took said seat and pulled a notepad and a quill from her pocket.

"You can stop me if you don't feel like answering any more questions." Amelia said with a smile.

"Ok." Harry replied. Amelia nodded and waited for Sirius to take a seat.

"Now can you tell me what happened, just before the kidnapping?" Amelia asked.

"Me, Neville, and Susan wanted to go to town and uncle Remus said he would go. Miss. Jasmine, Sirius' girlfriend, said she would go too. Which we thought was weird." Harry stopped when Amelia held up her hand.

"Why was that weird and who is 'we'?" Amelia asked making notes.

"The 'we' part is Me, Nev, and Sue. And it's weird because Miss. Jasmine doesn't like us. She acts like she does in front of Sirius and everyone else, but she really doesn't." Harry said with a shrug.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Sirius asked, looking surprised and hurt.

"Because she seemed like she made you happy and that's all any of us wanted." Harry said looking at Sirius like it was the most obvious thing in the world. 'That sounds just like Lily.' Sirius thought his heart aching again.

"What makes you think I'm sad?" Sirius asked.

"You look sad when you think we aren't looking." Harry said with a yawn.

"We can continue this later, Harry, after you get some sleep." Amelia said standing.

"Ginny is still asleep but i'm going to go check in." Arthur said, getting a nod from both Amelia and Sirius.

"Ok I'll come back in an hour. Sirius? Can i talk to you?" Amelia said as she pulled Sirius out into the Hallway.

"Please tell me Jasmine isn't a muggle." Amelia hissed, anger clear in her eyes, after she put up a silencing charm.

"No she's a squib." Sirius said with a frustrated groan, his head hitting the wall with a soft thump.

"Why haven't I met her then?" Amelia asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Because you're always so busy. And now that I think about it she seemed to go out of her way to not meet you." Sirius said with a sigh.

"And this didn't seem weird to you?" Amelia snapped.

"I assumed she was scared of meeting my Ex-fiance who I'm still close with. The same ex-fiance who is the head of the fucking british Aurors. I'd be terrified too if the situation were reversed." Sirius said rolling his eyes.

"Is she related to any death eaters?" Amelia asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Yes, but she told us she hated them and wanted nothing to do with them and plus she's a squib so they'd probably kill her if she tried to talk to them." Sirius said, dragging his hand through his hair.

"And you let her near the kids?" Amelia snapped.

"What am I supposed to do Amelia? Never trust anyone again? Give me a break will you? All I ever wanted was to be loved. Is that too much to ask?" Sirius asked before storming off.

"No. No it isn't," Amelia whispered to herself.

"Harry? How are you feeling?" Amelia asked with a smile as she sat down in the chair Mr. Wealsey had occupied earlier.

"Better. Have they found Neville?" Harry asked, looking hopeful.

"They have indeed. He's being checked over now and Remus will bring him over as soon as he can. Now do you feel like answering more questions?" Amelia asked.

"Sure." Harry said with a nod.

"Ok so Remus, Neville, Susan, Miss Jasmine and you all went into town. Why didn't Octavius, Julius and Charles go with you?" Amelia asked, pulling her notepad out.

"Octavius caught a virus and his brothers got sick soon after." Harry said with a shrug.

"So were Remus and Jasmine with you the whole time?" Amelia asked.

"Miss. Jasmine went to look at dresses and then came back and Remus went into the bookstore." Harry said.

"Susan said she didn't see Miss. Jasmine. Did you see her leave the group again?" Amelia asked.

"No she was with us and then Susan wanted to call Sirius and then, I saw her talking to a man and then everything just went dark until I woke up in that room with Ginny."Harry said.

"Can you tell me anything about the man?" Amelia asked.

"He had gray hair and was tall. I'm sorry that's all I can remember." Harry said looking down.

"Harry, you've done so well. Just because you can't remember someone you saw for a second doesn;t mean you aren't doing a good job." Amelia said, putting a finger under Harry's chin and lifting his head to meet his eyes.

"Thanks, Aunt Amy." Harry said with a small smile.

"Now why don't we take a break and you can talk to Susan and Neville." Amelia said with a smile. Harry's smile turned blinding as Frank walked in with Susan and Neville.

"How are you feeling?" Susan asked as she hugged him tight and then perched on the edge of his bed.

"I'm ok. What about you, Nev?" Harry asked, taking in the dark circles under his eyes.

"Still a little sore and having nightmares, But I'll be ok." Neville said with a tired grin.

"I know what you mean." Harry said smiling.

"Who got you out?" Neville asked curiously.

"Arthur Weasley. He got me and his daughter, Ginny, out pretty quick. Not before they hit me with the tourture curse first though." Harry said, raising his hand to show that the shaking hadn't fully faded yet. Amelia saw that it was a lot less pronounced than earlier before Harry's nap.

"How many times did they use it on you?" Susan asked, her eyes wide.

"Twice for me." Harry said with a grimace.

"Same for me," Neville said with a shudder. Susan's wide eyes filled with tears and she launched herself at the boys and pulled them into another tight hug.

"It's ok Susan. They're safe now." Amelia said, wrapping her arms around the three children and running her hand through Susan's hair reassuringly.

Sirius stood in the doorway with tears stinging his eyes. The boys were only eight. They shouldn't have to deal with this. 'Those three are going to change the world.' Sirius thought as he watched them hug amelia. After a moment he walked over and joined the group hug.
