Chapter 16: Another Shock For The Weasley’s
The next
morning wasn’t a good day for anyone, especially for Harry Potter. The news
that James Potter was still alive and had attacked the Snape’s and Lupin’s
traveled the school like wildfire. Everyone was wondering how James had
survived the attack by the Dark Lord and because of the nature of James
association; the Slytherin’s took no time in taunting Harry about his father.
“I guess you’re not
as high and mighty as you thought you were,” taunted Draco Malfoy.
Hermione
felt bad for Harry, but he didn’t make it easy on her. When he saw her he
yelled at her for absolutely no reason. Hermione ended up in tears, something
that Madam Pomfrey didn’t like.
“She needs to have no
stress from Potter,” Madam Pomfrey told Dumbledore. “She’s pregnant and her
body is going to be adjusting to this change. She doesn’t need this.”
“I’ll have a talk
with Harry,” Dumbledore said.
“Thank you,” she
said stiffly and walked out
“Dum
dums!” Dumbledore said to the painting of the Fat Lady.
It swung open to let him pass.
Harry was
busy working on his Advance Potions work when he saw the Headmaster enter. He
ignored him, having a feeling that he was coming to talk to him about what had
happened.
“Harry, can I talk
to you?”
“No,” Harry said.
“Harry, I know that
your upset about what happened, but this wasn’t anyone’s fault.”
Harry snorted.
“We all thought
James was dead,” Dumbledore went on. “It proves that people can make mistakes.”
Harry didn’t answer; he just put
his things away and left.
“I can’t believe
that he fooled us,” Remus said to Severus.
Severus sighed.
“He had a lot of us
fooled,” Severus muttered.
Remus took a drink, trying to figure all this out.
“Did you know that
James was a Death Eater?”
Severus shook his head.
“So what are you
going to do now?”
Remus shrugged his shoulders.
“I don’t know,” he
said. “My wife is planning on going to Diagon Alley to watch the launch of her
new broom.”
“Are you going?”
“I don’t know,” he
muttered. “I think I might, but I don’t know.”
Severus looked at him intently.
“I think you should
go,” he said. “It will be good to be away from everything.”
Remus said nothing.
“There is no way
that I’m marrying Tonks,” Ron said, angrily. “And you can’t make me,
Dumbledore.”
Dumbledore gave him a cold look.
“Mr. Weasley, do
you have any idea what Tom will do to you if he gets his hands on you?”
Ron said nothing, but Dumbledore had a good idea that he
didn’t.
“He will control
you, turn you into a Death Eater,” Dumbledore said. “And you will have no
control over what you do. You will be polluted and your family will suffer.”
“Headmaster, it’s
clear that Ron doesn’t care about his life,” Hermione said coldly. “I think we
should let this Morgana witch have him. And then when he kills his friend, then
maybe he’ll understand.”
Ron glared at Hermione.
“She does have a
point, Mr. Weasley,” Dumbledore said.
“No offence,
Headmaster, but I don’t think the opinion of a witch that spreads her legs for
a filthy werewolf matters.”
Hermione went red and walking over, she punched him,
breaking his nose. He screamed, falling to the floor.
“Mr. Weasley
Madam Pomfrey exactly how you ended up like that.”
Ron picked himself up and left.
“Shall I inform
Tonks of the engagement?”
“Yes, Hermione, you
should,” Dumbledore said. “I’ll inform Molly and Arthur about it as well.
Hopefully they won’t lose it.”
Ginny
arrived at her husband’s office just as Remus left. He gave her a sad look and
then disappeared down the corridor. Ginny knew how badly he had taken James betrayal
and she knew that he might not be able to stand up to what would happen in the
next several weeks. She knocked on the door and when Severus snapped ‘enter’
she opened the door.
“I hope I’m not
interrupting anything,” Ginny said.
Severus shook his head.
“Can I pour myself
a drink?”
“Over there,”
Severus said.
Ginny
poured herself a tonic and then joined her husband. She sipped it, trying to
figure out what she was going to say. Severus broke the silence.
“Ginny, I know that
what happened last night was an accident because we were both terrified about
what was happening, but it can’t happen again.”
Ginny bit her lip. She didn’t want to tell Severus that she
had liked it.
“I understand,” she
said. “It will never happen again.”
“Thank you, Ginny,”
Severus said.
Ginny didn’t say anything.
Molly and
Arthur received word of Ron’s engagement to Tonks. Like with Ginny, they lost
it. Dumbledore tried to tell them that this was for his protection, but they
didn’t listen. Dumbledore had a feeling that they never would listen.
“My son should of
married Hermione, but no, she had to marry Remus,” Molly said, pure venom in
her voice. “And my little Ginny is a wife to that moronic Death Eater.”
“Molly, I know that
you’re upset, but stop insulting my staff,” Dumbledore said. “Remus and Severus
have been good husbands to their wives and I will not have you treating them
with utter disrespect.”
Molly gave him a sharp look and then Arthur spoke.
“Please leave, Dumbledore,
and don’t come back,” Arthur said. “My wife has made her decision and I’m for
it. Ron will not be marrying Tonks.”
Dumbledore for the first time
since he was seven, stormed out.
Hermione
left the hospital wing and headed for
into Harry before he did something that he would regret. Saying the password,
she entered, and saw Harry and Ron playing wizard chess. Only Ron looked up
when Hermione entered.
“Ron, I need to
talk to you both…alone,” she said, putting a point on the last word.
“I don’t think you
have anything that I want to hear,” Ron said. “You broke my nose, remember.”
Hermione snorted with disgust. Here she had something
important to say and Ron didn’t want to hear it.
“I’m with Ron, go
back to that werewolf that you call a husband,” he said. “You’re giving me
fleas.”
Hermione went red and then lost it.
“HOW DARE YOU DO A
SNAPE ON ME,” she bellowed. “I JUST WANTED TO TELL YOU THAT I’M PREGANT AND
THAT I WANTED YOU BOTH TO BE THE CHILDS GODFATHER, BUT NO, YOU WANT TO TREAT ME
LIKE I’M SOME KIND OF FREAK OF NATURE. WELL GOODBYE.”
And she stormed out.
“So how did it go
with the Weasley’s?” Professor Lupin asked.
“Not well,” he
said. “So are you going to go with your wife today so that she can watch the
launch of her new broomsticks?”
“Ya, I am,” Remus
said. “Me and Severus had a talk and he thought it might be for the best. I’m
starting to think that Severus might have been the better choice for a friend
then James and Peter.”
Dumbledore sighed.
“I wish it hadn’t
turned out this way,” he told him.
“I know,” Remus
said. “Oh, the Ministry sent you a letter while you were gone. The owl
delivered it to me, but it was for you.”
“Thanks.”
Remus handed him the letter and then left.
When
Dumbledore opened the letter it confirmed what he thought the Ministry was
going to do. No one believed that James would really hurt the Snape’s or the
Lupin’s and they let him off. The Minister also said that he wanted to meet him
at his office. Dumbledore burned the paper, but left, hoping that the Minister
was going to have a much more pleasant choice of words then what the Weasley’s
were going to tell him when they found out that Ron was still on for marrying
Tonks.”
