"Oh, this is not what I need right now," Harry sighed.

"Harry! What are you doing with those snakes?!" Ron demanded, completely ignoring Hermione.

Harry saw Ginny's eyes flick down and inwardly grinned, remembering that Draco hadn't let go of his hand since the cemetary. Gently squeezing Draco's hand, Harry answered Ron's question.

"I happen to be dating one of these snakes."

"WHAT?!" Ginny was furious.

"I would greatly apperciate it if you would stuff it, Ginny."

"Don't you tell me to stuff it! You're supposed to marry me Harry! You're not supposed to be a disgusting, shirt-lifting, faggot!" She screamed at him.

"Harry think about this for a minute. All three of them are Death Eaters, you're not safe around them," Dumbledore tried.

"That's odd. I've never seen a Dark Mark, anywhere on Draco's body. If he's a Death Eater, why isn't there one?" Harry raised an eyebrow at the Headmaster.

"Harry, mate, that's disgusting!"

"Two things, Ron. No, it's not. And I'm not your mate anymore," Ron's jaw dropped.

"About time!" The twins spoke.

"If the wards let you through, you're welcome. The rest of you, piss off," Harry turned and led the others through the gates. Bill, Charlie, the twins, Sirius, and Remus followed.

Molly tried to follow, ran straight into the wards, and was bounced back. "Harry?"

"Mrs. Weasley, when you stop encouraging your daughter and accept me as me, you can come in," He didn't turn around. "I'm sorry."

The group of eleven made their way into Dunluce Castle together. Once inside, the five teens started laughing.

"Did you see her face?" Draco had to sit down.

"Wait, what?" Sirius was confused.

"Draco and I aren't dating, Sirius. Ginny just wouldn't understand any other time I told her I'm gay," Harry answered.

Suddenly, Hermione sobbered. "Harry, how did they find us? Did Dumbledore know you were getting everything early?" She asked.

"No, he didn't. He went to Gringotts today to essentially write Harry's Will for him. He seemed very sure that you would be dead soon," Bill answered.

"Then he came to Grimmuald Place and pitched a fit. We're all here to try to talk some sense into you. After all, you ran away from your aunt and uncle's," Sirius added.

"He's not done then. None of them are," Harry sighed. "This is not what I needed right now."

"What do you mean, Harry?" Remus asked.

"We just came back from Godric's Hollow," Draco answered when Harry didn't.

"Oh, Cub! Are you alright?" Remus and Sirius hugged him immeaditely.

"I am, now. I had Draco, Hermione, Pansy, and Blaise with me. They helped, a lot."

The two Marauders shot grateful looks to the four teens. A few moments later, Sirius started fidgeting a little bit.

"Padfoot, what's wrong?" Remus asked.

"We're back at Dunluce Castle, Moony. How long has it been since we were here last? Graduation, that's how long."

"Go on then. I'm alright," Harry had released both of them already.

"Are you sure you're alright, Cub?" Remus held Sirius' arm.

"Depends. Are you two staying here now?" They nodded. "Then I'm great. Now shoo!" Harry made the shooing motion with his hands and the older men left them.

"I'm confused," Pansy stated. "Didn't he die?" She looked at Harry, Hermione, and the four Weasleys.

"Sort of." Hermione began explaining. "The veil he fell through transported him into a seperate dimension. We're still not sure how, but he was able to get into contact with Bill and he told us what had happened."

"It was actually a rather simple counter curse that allowed him back out. But only because he was the last to pass through the veil," Bill finished.

"Yeah, easy for you," Harry rolled his eyes. If anyone but a Cursebreaker had tried that spell they'd knocked themselves out according to Hermione and confirmed by Bill. "You guys are staying here too, yeah?" Harry asked.

"Do you want us to?" Charlie countered.

"I wouldn't've asked if I didn't want you to."

"Then yes, I am."

"Us too," The twins answered.

"I should probably go back to Fleur. You know, my fiancee?" Bill smiled.

"So bring her here. Unless you'd rather not."

"Actually, she and Mum would probably like that. You know how Mum and Ginny are about her."

"On second thought, maybe she should bunk with Ginny."

"Harry!" Hermione swatted him on the arm. "Behave."

Bill just laughed. "I'll be back in a little while, with Fleur."

"I have a quick question. Why were you two holding hands when you got here?" Charlie asked, looking at Harry and Draco.

"I held his hand while we were in the cemetary and just hadn't let go yet," Draco answered. The twins shared a look at this.

"What are you two thinking?" Harry asked.

"Nothing at all,..."

"...dear Harry," They answered.

Harry narrowed his eyes at them, but allowed it to pass. "Come on, Binky's probably got lunch waiting for us."

It was true, of course. They reached the dining room to find Binky laying out dishes for everyone. "We is knowing Master has friends over. How long is they staying Sir?" She asked when Harry looked slightly bewildered.

"I have no idea."

"'Lo, Binky," Remus and Sirius had joined them.

"Mr. Sirius! Mr. Remus! Ashy is very happy to be seeing you!" The elf ran to Sirius and Remus and hugged them both around their middles. "Sit, sit! Time for eating," She sat them beside Harry. "Binky is having Ashy and Lee set up rooms for Master's friends." She bowed and left them to their meal.

A few minutes later, Bill and Fleur joined them. The two sat opposite Harry, Sirius, and Remus.

After lunch, Ashy came running to find Harry. "Master, there is someone at the door for you. They is saying they know you, Sir."

"Who could that be, I wonder?" Harry followed the elf and Hermione followed him. Everyone else stayed in the sitting room.

"Well, when Mum said someone was home here, I wasn't expecting you, Harry."


A/N: Yeah, I left it in a horrible place, I know. But I'm out of time right now. I should have the next chapter of Three's Company up soon. I hope. Thanks to everyone who offered me a name suggestion. Dunluce Castle is thanks to DraykaEmrys. Her suggestion was to find an actual Irish castle ruin and give it that name. Dunluce Castle is in Northern Ireland on a cliff. Google it, I'm sure you'll find it. Also, thanks to DraykaEmrys, I've changed some mistakes I usually make, like the way I puncuate my sentences. It'll take getting used to for me, so I might forget sometimes, but I'm trying! Actually, you don't need to Google Dunluce Castle, unless you want to. Here's a picture of the ruins. Front:
