Always Yours.....

Chapter One – The Beginning

Dark clouds covered the sky as the Hogwarts Express swept through the beautiful village of Hogsmeade. Huge drops of water lashed at the windows. Four friends sat in the compartment. Harry Potter, The Chosen One gazed out of the windows. Ginny had fallen asleep with her head in Harry’s lap. Ron and Hermione were quietly discussing the effect that the death of Albus Dumbledore will have on the entire wizarding world.
With this Harry’s thoughts turned to the death of Dumbledore. Somewhere in his mind he still believed that Dumbledore was not dead. He didn’t know why, but he just felt it. Harry was left alone, confused and unprotected with the greatest evil wizard, out there trying to do all he can, to find Harry and kill him. Harry didn’t know what to do? What to believe? He shrugged and continued to gaze out of the window.
The train started to slow down and Platform nine and three quarters appeared into view. The Magical Trio and Ginny made their way out of the train and moved through the crowd of parents, which was much thinner and found the Weasley’s.
“Hello, Harry and Hermione dear, How are you?” greeted Mrs.Weasley.
“Fine, Thanks Mrs.Weasley.”
“You both have to come for Bill’s wedding. Don’t forget. Its on 1st of August.”
“Yes we will be there Mrs.Weasley.” replied Hermione. Harry nodded
They moved out from the barrier and Harry started searching for his Uncle Vernon when he saw him standing just at the entrance of the station as fat as ever.
And then it all happened suddenly. There were many popping noises and the station was filled with many hooded figures. DEATH EATERS. Harry froze to the spot. And then a strong emotion filled him. Anger, Hate he drew out his wand and started towards the hooded men when a hand stopped him. Mr. Weasley pulled them back into the toilet.
He looked at them and said “You all know how to apparate. Go straight to the Burrow and send a message to the Ministry. Also alert the Order. Hermione or Harry side-apparate Ginny.” With this he and Mrs. Weasley left. Harry held Ginny’s hand and concentrated hard on The Burrow. He opened his eyes and saw that he was in Mrs. Weasley’s kitchen. Ron and Hermione appeared on his sides. Harry quickly moved to the fire space, threw some floo powder in it and said “Ministry Of Magic”. Harry appeared in some kind of reception area where a witch was sitting. She was reading some novel
And looked irritated at being disturbed.
“What may I do for you?”
“There has been an attack at the King Cross Station by Death Eaters. I would like you to inform the Auror Department immediately.”
Her mouth fell open and Harry could see that she didn’t know what to do. She came to her senses and wrote something on a parchment and sent it zooming at top speed. She turned to Harry and said, “Please wait a minute Mr. Potter. An auror will be here in a moment”. Harry did not need to ask how she knew his name. At the moment Kingsley Shakelebolt popped in front of Harry.
“There has been an attack at the King’s Cross Station by the Death Eaters There should be more than 50 of them. You must hurry. Mr. And Mrs. Weasley are already there and so must be some other parents.” Harry said quickly. “Mr. Weasley told me to alert the Order.” He said in a very soft voice so only Kingsley could hear. “Thank You Mr. Potter” said Kingley and vanished. Harry returned to The Burrow.
Two hours had passed. No one had returned to the Burrow. Harry was sitting at the dinning table lost in thoughts. Ginny sat next to him crying softly. Harry tried to comfort her, but did not know what exactly to do. So he just patted her on the back and hugged her lightly. Hermione had fallen asleep and Ron was pacing the room.
“Will you stop it and sit down.” Harry said in an irritated voice. Ron looked at him and sat down. There was a loud popping sound and everyone looked up to see Mrs. Weasley entering the house.
“What happened Mother” Ron asked.
“Ministry help arrived in time. The situation is now under control. Though few people on our side were hurt there are no serious casualties. But two Death Eaters and many Muggles died. She turned to Harry and said in a very soft voice
“Harry I am very sorry. The Death Eaters killed your aunt and uncle. Harry felt a cold wave pass through his body immobilizing him. Again death, Harry felt as if he was causing everyone to die. Inspite of how they had treated him, they were his aunt and uncle. He felt a warm hand on his shoulder. “I am very sorry Harry,” said Hermione. Harry looked into her eyes. They were filled with concern for him. He nodded and left them. He headed for Ron’s room that was in the attics. Harry looked out of the window onto the garden. He saw gnomes sneaking inside. Everyone was dying. He thought of all the death that had happened. First his parents, then Sirius, Dumbledore and now the Dursley’s. Everyone related to him was dying. He felt concerned about Ron, Ginny and Hermione. He somehow felt a greater concern towards Hermione. He didn’t know where to place it. “It is because she is my best friend”, he told himself. Ron appeared at the door,
“Are you okay, mate?”
“Yes I am fine.”
“Mom says that dinner will be ready in a minute.”
Harry accompanied Ron to the dining table. Everyone was already seated. He sat down between Ginny and Hermione. Mr. Weasley and Bill had not yet returned from the ministry and Fred and George were going to stay at the shop. Hermione placed her hand on his. Harry felt a current passing through his body. ‘What was that?’ he thought.
“Everything will be fine”, said Hermione. Harry simply nodded.
After Dinner Ginny asked,
“Harry can we go for a walk please?”
“Okay.” Harry and Ginny walked out of The Burrow
“There is a small park here”, said Ginny “we will sit there.”
The moment Ginny had asked him for a walk Harry knew that it wouldn’t be good. But he knew that she had the right to scream at him. He had dumped her, though dumped was a very strong word. Entering the park Ginny pointed to a bench. Harry sat down and waited for Ginny. Ginny sat down besides him. Too close, according to him.
“I am not letting you go off so easily,” she said moving even closer. Before Harry knew, she was kissing him and he was kissing her back with same passion. Harry realized what he was doing and pulled away.
“I am sorry Ginny. I can’t. We can’t.” Disappointment and anger appeared on her face. She tried to kiss him again but he pulled away.
“Ginny, I can’t let you get hurt. You know what is happening outside.”
“What if I don’t care?”
“We have had this discussion before and nothing has changed ”, said Harry. “You must understand, I am doing this for your own safety.” The two sat looking at the trees and the beautiful sky filling with beautiful stars. After some time Ginny spoke,
“You know after your third year I and Hermione used to fight a lot.” Harry remembered. Yes, they both quarreled a lot, they were even quarreling at the Quiddich World Cup. But he had never found out why they fought.
“After your third year, Hermione had started to like you a lot, Harry. She had a mad crush on you. She told me this and that’s why we used to fight.” Harry was taken aback. He didn’t know what to say. His best friend had a crush on him. They returned to The Burrow. Harry was still thinking. Harry’s love life was getting very complicated. He knew that he did not love Ginny. He just had a crush on her. He cared for her. He liked her. But he did not love her.
Harry went to Ron’s room. Ron had already got into his bed.
“What happened?” he asked.
“She wanted to be together again.”
“And you turned her down?”
“What else can I do? It’s for her own good.” Ron nodded. Harry couldn’t sleep that night. Various different scenes involving him and a friend with brown bushy hair appeared in front of his eyes.
Harry woke up early. He washed up, changed into new clothes and headed downstairs. It was very early and he did not think anyone would be awake. Hence he was surprised to see Hermione coming out of Ginny’s room.
“Hi Mione, awake so early”
“I should be the one asking this question.” She replied. They headed downstairs.
“Fancy a walk Harry?”, asked Hermione. He nodded. Harry for the first time in his life looked at Hermione properly. She had a great figure. Nice curves in right places. The skirt she was wearing showed off her hot legs. When did she get so hot? Harry thought.
“Are you alright, Harry?” eyeing him as if to find out if he really was Harry.
“Oh…yeah…I am fine” they walked for few minutes until they came to a bench, where they decided to rest for a while. Harry couldn’t keep his eyes off her. Stop it you idiot. She is your best friend. She is untouchable. You can’t have her. He scolded himself.
“Harry how do you really know if you really love a person?” Hermione asked looking at the horizon. Harry knew a trick. He had always used it to see if he was in love. It always turned out negative for him. So he had stopped using it. Sirius had told him the trick. Sirius had said
“Close your eyes and concentrate on the emotion of love. When you see a clear image of a person in your mind, you are in love.” Harry had used this both when he was going out with Cho and Ginny. But the girl in his mind remained a blur. He never got a clear image. Harry told Hermione what Sirius had said.
“Do you believe it works?”
“I don’t know.”
“What do you see?
“It’s always a blur.”
“Harry, so it means that you don’t love Ginny.” Harry shrugged.
“Lets see you try, Mione.”
“Okay. Here goes” Hermione closed her eyes but just in a moment she opened them quickly. Her hands covered her mouth. Her eyes were wide.
“Did you get a clear image?” She nodded.
“Was it Ron?” She looked at Harry. Her eyes were still wide. She shook her head.
“Let’s see you try, Harry.” Harry was sure that he was going to get the same blur. So when Harry closed his eyes and saw the image of a very beautiful girl he knew the trick worked. He opened his eyes. He looked at Hermione. His brains had stopped working. He had just seen his best friend Hermione Granger in a most beautiful form and knew that know he couldn’t deny that he loved her. Her words interrupted Harry’s thoughts.
“Did you get a clear form?” Harry nodded.
“Was it Ginny?” Harry looked at her. She was very beautiful. Over the fast few years he knew he cared for her. But he didn’t think it was love. How can it be? But she also did not see Ron. So she could have seen me too. Before he could think of an answer he involuntarily shook his head. At that moment both of them knew that they loved each other. It now remained a question who would say it loud.
Harry looked into her eyes. Yes there was love for him in those eyes. He could feel it. He decided to go ahead.
“Hermione”, Harry said. “Do you know who I saw when I closed my eyes.” His voice quivered. She continued to look at him.
“I saw you Hermione. I love you. I love you more than anything ….” Before he knew Hermione had captured his lips. Harry kissed her back. Both of them were on fire. Both of them didn’t seem to get enough of each other. Harry’s hands wandered all over her gorgeous body, touching her hips, her butt, her breasts everywhere. Hermione’s hand was roaming among his hair as she pulled him close to her. They kissed as the whole world disappeared around them. Nothing mattered anymore. She let out a moan when Harry’s hand found its way to her breast under her shirt. He tenderly touched her as he kissed her again and again. His thumb brushed against her nipple and she shivered against his touch. Her hands were tangled in his raven black hair, swirling through his locks as she moaned louder and louder.
The young lovers finally parted and reality came down upon them. How were they going to tell this to Ron and Ginny??
