Chapter 7

Molly was at the Burrow planning for Ron and Hermione's wedding. They so far agreed on the garden of the Burrow. What they were working on right then was a guest list and the cooking. Well Ron was worrying about the cooking anyway.

Ginny had already left for work. She had left early right when they started talking about the wedding.

Hermione and Molly both thought that she just needed some alone time.

While they were talking that afternoon they had an unexpected guest, Professor McGonagall.

"Welcome, Professor." Hermione said welcoming the older witch into the house.

"Thank you, Ms. Granger." Professor McGonagall said taking a seat. "I hear it is soon to be Mrs. Weasley."

"Yes it is." Ron answered. "We were working on wedding plans. We did hope that you could attend."

Professor McGonagall smiled. "I most certainly will be delighted to. But I am afraid I came here for professional reasons."

Hermione and Ron were looking at Professor McGonagall quizzically.

"I am going to reopen Hogwarts next September." She announced.

"That's wonderful." Hermione said.

"Thank you." Professor McGonagall said. "You two are invited back if you wish, but I have a feeling there is nothing that we can really teach you. I am also sure that you have received many offers for jobs and don't need to spend more time there."

Hermione smiled. "I always will have fond memories of Hogwarts, but I think Ron and I are ready to start our lives."

Professor McGonagall gave one of her rare smiles. "I thought you two would be together. All the bickering you two displayed over the years."

Molly let out a little laugh.

"I was hoping Ginny would come back to school. I am in need of a Head girl. I know she has had trouble finding work even though she did quite well on her owls. Out of all the girls she has done the best on the annex courses. Hopefully this will help her."

"I think she would be happy." Molly answered. "She wasn't even a Prefect."

"The rules set out by Professor Dumbledore clearly state that a student does not have to be in a Prefect status to become a Head student." Professor McGonagall said. "There is also the other matter about the classes. Because a lot of the classes are going to be bigger until things even out I am having two professors for certain subjects."

"That seems like a good idea." Ron said.

Professor McGonagall took a moment before continuing. "I would like you Molly to take the post of Charms Professor to years one through three."

Molly looked surprised. "Professor I never had a position. . ."

"You home taught seven children. All of but two became Prefects or Heads. You had raised Fred and George. Those two caused more trouble than one classroom of kids ever could. Molly you would be a perfect teacher. The pay I am afraid would not be that much until the school was reestablished, but it wouldn't be more than a few years. I am sure you want to spend time with the grandchildren." Professor McGonagall said in a gentle voice.

Ron immediately spoke up. "You should do it Mum. You would be a great teacher."

Professor McGonagall then added "I will give you some time to think about it. I am sure that you would want to talk with Arthur first."

"Yes, I will tell him that I am interested and see if he agrees with the idea. I think I will take the post."

Professor McGonagall got up and shook Molly's hand. "Thank you. I know the students would benefit from your knowledge. I will send you the list of books that we plan on using. I must get going. I am afraid I have some other people I need to convince to take the open posts."

"What posts are left Professor?" Hermione asked.

"Transfiguration to the higher students, Potions, Herbology and Defense Against the Dark Arts. I thought about asking Tonks to teach Transfiguration."

"Maybe you should try Lupin as well. He was the best Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher we ever had." Hermione said.

"I plan to try." Professor McGonagall said. "I am doubtful that he will. Good day to you all." She said before Disappearating.

"I think we have a reason to celebrate Mum." Ron said. "You will be great."

"Thank you, Ron." Molly said. "The last job I ever expected."

When Ginny came home for her dinner break and Arthur had returned from work the family sat down to dinner. Afterwards Molly told the family about the proposal. It was met with glorious praise. Everyone thought it would be a good idea for her to teach. The family also celebrated the fact Ginny was to be Head Girl.

Ginny had agreed to accept the position. Maybe some time away from the Burrow was what she needed to get on with her life. Harry had left her enough money to buy books and new robes. She had already gotten rid of her others thinking she would never go back to the school.

The next morning Ginny approached her mother with a small bag. "Mum, I'm really glad that you are going to be at Hogwarts with me." She said. "This is a little money that I have. I want you to go out and buy some new robes."

Molly looked at the money that was inside the tiny bag. "How did you get this much?"

"I saved it." Ginny lied. It had actually come from Harry's vault. "I want you to use it. Think of it has a nice Christmas gift from your only daughter."

"This is nice of you." Molly said hugging Ginny. "I know Fred and George gave you the day off. Do you want to go out with me and find something, maybe have lunch?"

"No," Ginny answered. "After working at Fred and George's shop for so long I am getting tired of Diagon Alley." It was only partially true. Ginny was tired of the hustle and bustle and working with the customers.

What she still needed was some alone time. She would soon be in charge of a bunch of younger children and would need show authority the entire time. She wanted to rest a bit before that started.

Molly understood her daughter and instead gone out with Hermione. They had decided to look at wedding dresses as well as buy Molly some better robes. Ron was talked into leaving by Hermione. He had decided to go to the pub and see some of his old dorm mates.

Ginny was in the house by herself and she took the opportunity to just sit on the couch with a nice book.

Several miles away Harry was riding in a train car, alone. It was something that he had been grateful for.

After Harry had left the village he walked into the main city of the area. 'Londoner by the sound of you' he had remembered Doc saying about him. He used part of the money to by a ticket to London. Once alone inside the car, he had let in the strange bird that became his guide to join him.

He thought about how peculiar he would look traveling with a bird. If anyone would ask it was simply a show bird.

The bird did not seem to mind being on the train or that they were headed southwards. Harry figured the bird knew what it was doing and would tell Harry what to do when they reached London.

The ride seemed to take forever before they reached the station. Once he was able to get his backpack with the few belongs the villagers had given him, he began walking outside of town. The bird stayed overhead and Harry kept a watch out for it. They continued farther down the road away from town.

Harry passed by a small village and towards an open area. The bird then landed on a rock next to him looking at a house.

The house was older and seemed to be held up by means other than ordinary. There was a garden and a few chickens pecking around.

"Is that where you are leading me to?" Harry asked the bird petting it. Harry had learned that he could pet the bird, just like a pet. "I suppose I better go in there, huh."

Harry walked up to the door and knocked, not knowing what to expect.

Ginny was sitting on the couch with her book when she heard the knock. That was odd she didn't hear the Apparation detector go off, the person at the door didn't Apparate close enough. Tucking her wand pocket so it would be in reach Ginny went over and opened the door.

Harry waited a bit as the door opened. He then looked at a redheaded girl with brown eyes.

Chapter 8

Has Ginny stared into Harry's eyes, it all came back to him in rush.

On Friday evening Harry left Ron and Hermione curled up next to each other in their sleeping bags. After writing the note he left to say his good-bye to Ginny. After she had fallen asleep he immediately went to the graveyard and waited on Voldemort to show.

Voldemort wasn't the one to show at first. No, it was a scout that Voldemort sent ahead a scout in the form of Snape.

Harry knew who he was immediately. Before he had even removed his hood.

Harry held out his wand, not hesitating this time. "Adava Kedavra!" He shouted at Snape.

Snape immediately countered the curse.

They threw several hexes at each other.

"I see you have been learning Potter." Snape said mockingly between blasts.

"No thanks to you." Harry shouted back.

This had caused Snape to laugh a bit. This was the open opportunity that Harry had been waiting for. He had learned over the year that if he concentrated hard enough he could not only block his thoughts, but perform magic as well. But only if he was already doing magic. It was prepping his mind according to Hermione.

Harry sent the final blow to Snape.

After Harry had caught his breath he walked over to Snape's body. The spell did take a lot out him. He looked down at his former teacher.

Snape's face held an expression of surprise, but his eyes were lifeless.

Harry had killed him.

This was the last thing Harry would have expected. Guilt and remorse riddled through Harry's body circling over and over again. He wasn't too sure how long or when it was, but he did vomit.

How could he take a life like that? How could he? Harry asked himself several times. How could he go back and face the world? How could he return to Ron and Hermione and say "yup I got him. Old bat didn't see it coming." How could he destroy Voldemort knowing that he could feel this way again?

Worst of all was Ginny. How could he be with her again when he was nothing more than a murderer? If he did survive he would have to break his promise and live his life in banishment.

"Not bad. Thought I was going to have to do this myself." A voice said behind him.

Harry turned around and once again in the graveyard he stood in the presence of Lord Voldemort.

"We meet yet again, Harry. You've grown up. You look exactly like your father."

Harry lifted his wand and faced it to Lord Voldemort.

"I am not sure you want to lock wands again with me, Harry." He said.

"This isn't the same wand." Harry said. "I got this from a friend of yours RAB."

Voldemort looked surprised for a second. "She wouldn't of."

"She destroyed your Horcruxes." Harry said. "Now I will destroy the last." Harry had learned that RAB was to be an ally and had provided the final clue to destroying Voldemort. It was hidden inside Harry's robes. His secret weapon.

Harry concentrated hard on the curse. He knew the killing curse would not kill Voldemort it would only weaken him.

Voldemort shot his own spell into the stream.

Harry concentrated harder on the spell.

Voldemort was taken and fell back. He quickly tried to recover and do another spell.

Harry immediately set a ward around himself.

The battle continued between them.

Harry moved closer and closer to Voldmort. He would need to be close for his plan to work.

Sometime into the battle Voldemort made it through the defenses. He stood over Harry's nearly lifeless form.

"I'm sorry Ginny." Harry thought as he lay there waiting to die. He knew that if Voldemort were to kill him, he would die as well.

Voldemort took the opportunity. "Don't worry I won't kill you. I will just keep you barely alive so that I may live. I learned your secret you see. Don't worry about your friends Ron and Hermione. I will make there deaths quick. Ginny however, I will keep her alive for myself and for my most loyal Deatheaters. She will be quite the treat for me."

Harry felt himself with renewed strength. "You won't touch her." He said. Calling on his wandless magic Harry brought his secret weapon into his hand. It was Godric Gryffindor's sword. He thrust it into Lord Voldemort with all the might that he had.

Lord Voldemort stood back in shock. He was unable to move.

"You know about this sword don't you?" Harry asked in a mocking tone.

Lord Voldemort still could not say or do anything.

"It belonged to Godric Gryffindor. I used it kill your Basilisk. It was stained with it's blood. I used the poison from the snake to kill your Horcrux diary. Gryffindor used this sword to kill Salazar Slytherin. Now I use it to kill you Tom Riddle."

With that Voldemort seemed to explode.

The force of the power lifted Harry and carried him into the air. He finally landed when he reached the water.

That was where Mickey had found him.

Harry looked at Ginny and now understood why he had been sent there. He knew he would have decided to live his banished life if he had not gone there.

Doc and Mickey had showed him what his life would have been like. Living away from the world and being afraid of life and doing what made one happy.

They had given Harry what he needed to return to Ginny.

Ginny threw her arms around Harry. She cried as she hugged him. "I thought you were dead."

"I was lost. You found me." Harry whispered into her ear. Before he had gone to the graveyard he had done a number of anti-tracking spells on himself. Basically the only thing that could have found him was in fact Hedwig.

Ginny led Harry back into the house and onto the couch of the sitting room. While sitting there Harry immediately began kissing Ginny. He was making up for a bit of lost time.

They just stayed next to each other for the longest time. Harry told Ginny about the village and Doc. He explained how they had nursed them back to health.

"I should thank them." Ginny said. She went on to tell Harry about Ron and Hermione's engagement and how Molly was now going to be a professor at Hogwarts.

"They want me to be Head Girl." She added. "I'm not sure I want to now that you are home."

"Ginny, that is absolutely wonderful. You should be Head Girl." Harry answered. "If I have to, I will move up to Hogsmeade and I can teach you how to sneak out of the school."

Ginny smiled at that. "You're going to show me all of your tricks then? The ones you and Ron used all the time."

"That Fred and George taught us as well." Harry replied.

Ginny snuggled closer right then. She then stood up in surprise. "I have been so horrible."

"No," Harry replied.

"I've kept you here talking and talking and I haven't even offered you anything to eat. You should wash up before everyone gets home. You know how they will be." Ginny lifted Harry off the couch.

Harry smelt that flowery scent of hers that he was more than willing to follow.

"I'm not that hungry." He told her as she led him to the bathroom.

"Alright then I'll let Mum handle that. I'll get some of the clothes you left here. She did set up Fred and George's room just for you." Ginny said. "I'll lay out some clothes for you." She said before giving him another one her of her passionate kisses.

Harry reluctantly stepped into the bathroom to clean up. Ginny wanted him presentable before he showed the Weasleys that he did live. This was probably going to be his last moment of peace for a while.

After he cleaned and dressed he went back downstairs with Ginny and waited on everyone to come home.

At least he was ready for them.
