A long day

“What do you mean? You made no progress at all? How can that be? It´s been two months, surely there is something, anything?” Harry was on his knees in front of the fireplace talking to Tonks who had flooed from her office at the ministry.
“I am sorry Harry, but I already told you. There is nothing. We have no idea who it was that you know who sent to the Burrow. We couldn´t trace them back and they left not one piece of evidence behind.”
“What about Percy? Have you been able to talk to him?”
“No, I´m afraid he´s disappeared. After we spoke the first time right after it happened, we went to his apartment the next day and he wasn´t there. No one has seen him since it happened. No one ever visited him there before so we can´t even say if some of his stuff is missing.”
“How can that be? I mean I know there are ways to hide yourself from the public, but someone must know were the hell he is. If we´re right about him and I really think that we are then he had to have help. The problem is that I never paid him much attention while he was still at school. I know that he was seeing a Ravenclaw girl in his year but other that I have no idea who he was friends with. I don´t remember seeing him with anyone ever to be honest.”
“Well, if he has indeed joined you know who´s ranks then he has a lot of help. We aren´t entirely sure but we think he has fifteen thousand people on his site. I bet the number is even higher since we have no idea how successful he actually is outside of England. Can´t you ask Ron about him? He must know if anyone came to see him on summer holidays.”
“Well, not when I was staying with them. I´m not sure Tonks, Charlie asked me to handle all this and I´m pretty sure that Ron will start asking questions when I suddenly start asking him about Percy. I don´t think if he could handle the truth. I know he is strong but hearing that your brother is responsible for your father’s death, even when it´s only suspicions… I can´t even begin to understand what it would do to him.”
“If you want to get to the truth I´m afraid you must talk to him. We are out of options. I have no idea where to go from here. I have nothing. Kingsley and I were working ourselves to the bone and we still couldn´t find anything. There are other cases were there is actually evidence to go from and if I won´t bring something to Scrimgeour soon he will assign us to another case.”
“Of course, I want to get to the truth. The Weasley´s deserve to know who did it. Alright… I will do it, give me a little time, I have to think about how to approach this the right way.”
“Alright Harry. I must go I´m afraid, lots to do today. Have the others already left?”
“Yes, almost half an hour ago. Only Dudley is here right now, though Ginny and Luna will come round at some point I think.”
“They didn´t go with them?”
“No, they wouldn´t be much use anyway because their still underage.”
“Alright. I see you at the next DA meeting I assume.”
“Yes, Monday or Tuesday I´m not sure yet. Let´s wait and see how the weekend goes.”
“You should invite Scrimgeour to the next meeting. You already told him everything and we can make more plans at ones.”
“I will consider it. Go now, and hurry or you will be late for the first instructions.”
“Alright, see ya Harry.”
“Bye!” Harry said getting to his feet. He made his way to the kitchen to get something to drink and considered if he should make something to eat as well. He was nervous and it killed him that he had to sit here while everyone else was out doing what they had to do. Cooking always helped him with clearing his head but he wasn´t really very hungry. Dudley sat at the kitchen table when he walked in, and Harry had to look twice when he saw him.
“What happened to you?” He asked while he put on a pot of water.
“What do you mean?” Dudley asked looking up from his book.
“Look at you.”
“Oh yeah, I hadn´t very much to do the last few months. I worked out a lot and still go swimming every day.”
“You look great.” Harry said and he really did. He still was a little bit overweight, but Harry thought it wouldn´t be long and Dudley for the first time in bis life would have a healthy bodyweight. His face was oval shaped now, and he actually looked a lot more like his mother now.
“Thanks.” Dudley said and Harry sat down opposite of him.
“Sorry that I hadn´t had more time as of late. It´s just that we have so much to do.”
“No, problem. I understand. How are you feeling?”
“Much better. The morning sickness gets less every day, but I still have problems with my magic which is a little weird. Earlier in the week I used magic while we were at the prime minister’s house, and I had no problems at all.”
“Weird.”
“I´m not sure. I´m beginning to think that it hasn´t to do with the pregnancy at all.”
“What do you mean.”
“I don´t know.” Harry shuffled to his feet and left the kitchen.
“Hey, where are you going?” Dudley called before following him just when Harry came out of his bedroom again, invisibility cloak in his hands.”
“Here, get under this and follow me, I have an idea and we will go see if I´m right.” Dudley took the cloak from him and followed Harry out of the trunk. Harry quickly checked the map to look if any Slytherin was around who could see them coming from Severus´s rooms but no one was about.
“Come on.” He said and quickly left the office.
“Where are we going?” Dudley asked him when they had left the castle.
“Hogsmeade. It´s the village right outside of Hogwarts.” Dudley nodded but then remembered that Harry couldn´t see him. It only took them fifteen minutes until they passed the wards surrounding the castle.
“Let’s see.” Harry said and pulled his wand out of his pocket.
“Expecto patronum!” He whispered and watched as the beautiful stag looked for dementors before it turned and looked at Harry.
“Mrs. Weasley, my cousin and I will be arriving in a few minutes. Harry.” He nodded at the stag and watched, and it took of to deliver his message.
“Come on Dud, I want to make a quick stop and Honeydukes before we leave.” He said and his cousin followed him. It was a sad sight indeed when they entered. The normally full shop was completely empty. Not one single customer was around, and Harry sighed sadly. He wondered how long a shop like this could survive without making profit. Many shops already closed because people were just too afraid to go to public places. The round-faced woman who owned the shop looked up hopefully but didn´t look to hopeful be the sight of him and Harry smiled at her.
“What can I get you dear?” She asked him, smiling softly. Harry felt bad for her and made a quick decision. He knew it wasn´t much he could do at times like this, but this was one thing he actually could do.
“I would like to buy everything on display and whatever you have in store right now if that would be, okay?” The woman looked at him with huge eyes.
“What?”
“I said I would like to by everything that you have here.”
“I heard you but what could you possibly want with all that candy?”
“I don´t know… Take some with me to school and probably donate the rest to the children´s hospital or a few orphanages.”
“Why?”
“Because I want to help you.” Harry said.
“But why?”
“Because I don´t want you to close.”
“Well, that is very generous of you. Please pack up everything you want to take with you. If you want, I can make arrangements to deliver the rest to a few places I know.”
“That would be great thanks.” He quickly made his round and packed up all the things he liked and much more that he knew Ron loved to eat before he went to pay for everything. He actually gave the woman a little more so she could rent owls to deliver the rest. He smiled brightly after the woman thanked him again before shrinking his three bags astounded that it worked again without a problem. They left quickly after that; Dudley still hidden under the cloak. Before Harry could activate the portkey that would bring them to the new Weasley house Dudley took his arm for a second.
“That was really nice of you. Do you know her.”
“Not really. I only know that the shop was already here when my parents went to school, and I know how much the kids love the candy. It would be a shame if they would close.”
“Just how rich are you. That must have cost a lot and you didn´t even blink.”
“Oh I´m loaded. I think Hermione mentioned that I am one of the richest people in the world, if not the richest. The inheritance from my parents and godfather alone could probably finance most of the DA for the rest of my life, and I mean everything not only the war costs. Add to that the founder’s gold and a few vaults that random people left for the boy who lived. I have no idea how much money I actually have.” He said shrugging his shoulders.
“Damn cousin, I had no idea. If Dad would have known, I bet he would have thought three times before he treated you like he did.”
“Do you really think it would have made a difference? I know he complained about money a lot but we weren´t ever poor, were we?”
“No, I don´t think so. He made quite a lot of money and you told me that that headmaster of yours paid them quite a lot of money too.”
“Right… Lets get going. We have a few more stops to make, so we should hurry just a bit.” Dudley nodded and Harry held out a book which he turned into a portkey. Dudley grabbed it and they were whisked away.

They didn´t stay with Molly for too long. Harry tried to cast a few spells which worked without a problem and frowned. They had a late brunch and Molly told Harry the progress she made with planning the bonding ceremony. He left a few sweets at the house for Fred and George who decided to move back in with her after everything happened. They used the apartment over the store to work on their new products and Harry had given them enough money for an adequate potion lab which they needed badly. After they left, they made a stop at headquarters where they were welcomed by Narcissa, and Hagrid and Harry cursed as he discovered that he could cast anything he liked there as well.
“Damn him. That son of a bitch. I can´t believe that man.”
“What´s wrong Harry?” Hagrid asked looking at him.
“I think Dumbledore cast some kind of spell on me. My magic is not working right when I am at school but everywhere else, I had no problem. Doesn´t he realises how dangerous it is to temper with such a thing?”
“He probably doesn´t care very much Harry.” Narcissa Malfoy said.
“Just look at everything else he´s done. Are you really surprised?”
“I guess I shouldn´t be at this point but I can´t help it. Can you cast a diagnostic spell? We need to know what it is in order to remove it.” Narcissa nodded and Harry relaxed in his seat. He watched as she made a few complicated wrist movements before she nodded and told him that she thankfully only found standard blocks that she could remove easily. Harry sighed in relief when he felt the blocks fall and his skin tingled a little as he felt his full power returning. He wondered when they were placed on him and why he hadn´t noticed it immediately.
“Thank you.” He said before he stood and stretched.
“Are you leaving already?” Hagrid asked petting Fang who he had brought back with him when he returned to the castle.
“Yes, I still need to visit with the prime minister and his family. We moved them as you know, and I need to check if they´re fairing okay.” He looked at Dudley who nodded and stood. When Harry reached the fireplace, he looked at the jar of floo powder that stood on the mantle.
“Dobby!” He called and waited until the little elf appeared before him.
“Harry Potter! What can Dobby do for you today?”
“I need you to go buy more floo powder. I need to take what we have with me.” The elf nodded and after Harry gave him money he disappeared again.
“I will see you soon.” He called over his shoulder to Hagrid who nodded and waved him goodbye. Harry explained to Dudley how flooing worked and threw a hand full of powder into the flames.
“John Major residence!” He called. He clumsily stepped out on the other site and was welcomed by a little shriek. The boy named James looked at him with wide eyes and Harry smiled at the boy. Dudley fell out of the floo and Harry chuckled remembering all to well how he felt when he tried it for the first time.
“Are your parents’ home?”
“Dad´s at work but mum is here.”
“Could you go get her for me?” The boy nodded and hurried away. It took only a few minutes before Norma Major came into the living room a small smile on her face.
“Mr. Potter, we didn´t expect your visit today. Is everything alright?”
“Harry, please. And yes, everything is just fine. I only wanted to see how you and your family are doing. It´s been a lot and I was a little worried I guess.”
“We are doing fine thank you. Do you want something to drink?”
“No, thank you. I know the house isn´t as nice at your own home but I hope it is okay?”
“It´s very nice. The kids love the big garden, and I was thinking about redecorating if that would be okay with you.”
“Of course, do whatever you want, I have something for you.” He pulled out the floo powder and explained to her what it was and how to use it.
“If your husband or you ever need to reach me just call DA headquarters and someone will deliver the message to me.”
“You can really travel through fire?” She asked with wide eyes.
“Yes, you could too. You don´t need to be a wizard to do so. If the house is connected to the floo system you can travel to any destination that is also connected to it.” She gasped but nodded and thanked him when she handed her the jar.

Harry was relieved when they slipped back into Severus´s office. He sighed when he cast a tempus spell. It was only two o clock. It would be a while till the other´s came back. He decided that a little training session shouldn´t hurt and quickly changed out of his robes. He trained for quite some time and was satisfied that he managed to make progress again. He gasped in surprise when he was finally able to summon a flame out of nothing, without his wand that is. He tried it a few more times and found that ones he did it, it was easy to do it again and better this time. The flame was much larger, and he could hold it longer as well. He decided that it was enough for the day and that he would wait for the more complicated fire magic until Severus had time to do it with him. He took a quick shower and then proceeded to the kitchen and smiled when he saw Ginny and Luna sitting at the table.
“Hey guys.” He greeted them and sat down next to Ginny.
“Where have you been? I thought Severus told you to stay at the castle.”
“Well, he did, but he also said that as long as I don´t do field work, that I can do whatever I want. I had a few things to do.” Ginny nodded and took a sip of her coffee.
“What did you two do today?” He asked.
“We trained a little bit and we had quite a bit of homework to do. How are you doing? I know today must be hard for you.”
“Yeah, I´m not so good at sitting around and waiting.”
“Me too, too bad that I won´t turn seventeen for another six months.”
“Don´t worry, time goes by so quickly. I wanted Dumbledore out of the castle by easter. There is noooo way this is going to happen. So much is happening at the same time that I just didn´t have time to think about how to get rid of him yet.”
“We will come up with something don´t worry. What will you do after? Is there a need for a new headmaster when you are the heir?”
“I don´t know actually. I will have to meet with the school board soon to find out.”
“Isn´t Malfoy on the board? Isn´t it too dangerous to reveal something like that?”
“No, he was fired after second year thank merlin but there could be another death eater on the board. I will ask McGonagall for a list and run the names by Severus.”
“Any idea how to bring down Tom yet?” Luna asked.
“Yes, Severus found something out and we are working on a solution.”
“What is it?” Ginny asked. Harry swallowed. He wasn´t sure how many people should know about the horcruxes and if he was honest with himself, he didn´t want everyone to know that he is one of them. He made a little sigh of relief when he heard voices coming closer. A few seconds later and Ron, Hermione and Cho walked in.
“Did everything go okay? Did Riddle find out?”
“Hey Harry, yes everything went well. We were done a lot quicker than I thought. Major must have been quite convincing when he talked to the press.”
“Where is Severus?”
“He´s still with Minerva and Madame Pomphrey.”
“They were with you?”
“Yes, they requested the day of to go visit an old friend of them.” Harry nodded and immediately calmed down. He´d been so worried about Severus and felt relief run through him when he heard that he was back as well.
“What did you do today.”
“Oh, this and that. I found out that Dumbledore put blocks on my magic so that´s why I had such problems. Narcissa took them down and I trained after that. I think I finally get fire magic. It was only a simple flame but still… It´s more than yesterday.”
“That´s great Harry, I´m so proud of you.” Hermione said and gave him a hug.
“I actually need to talk to you two.”
“Sure, what is it?”
“In private if that´s alright?” Hermione looked at him with a frown but nodded and the golden trio left to sit down in Harry´s bedroom.
“What´s up mate?” Ron asked.
“I need to ask you something Ron, but it will not be easy. I´m afraid you will have a few questions and I really don´t want to answer them but we´re at a dead end and…”
“Just ask Harry.”
“Alright, I need to know the names of anyone who is friends with Percy.” Harry winced when he saw the furious expression on Ron´s face.
“You know I don´t want to talk about him.”
“I know, I wouldn´t ask if it weren´t important Ron, I need to know.” Harry said and exchanged a look with Hermione. Ron watched them with small eyes.
“What´s going on?” he demanded to know. Harry sighed, no, he really didn´t want to do this.
“It´s about your dad.” Ron´s mouth fell open.
“What… What do you mean?”
“Ron, we think that Percy was involved in your father´s death.” Harry said looking at him anxiously.
“What? What are you talking about Harry? I know Percy is a git and I won´t be sad if I never have to see his face again, but come on? He couldn´t possibly be involved. Why would you think something like that?” Harry bit his lip not quite sure how to formulate his answer. He was glad when Hermione spoke for him.
“Ron, there are things that we haven´t told you about your father´s death. I don´t think you want to know, but there are some things that can only be explained when someone who knows your family very well was there when it happened.”
“What do you mean? What things?”
“If you really want to know we will tell you, but…”
“But what Hermione?” Ron snapped.
“You won´t ever be able to forget if we tell you. You must know that. It´s bad Ronald! Be sure that you really want to know.”
“Just tell me already, I can handle it.” Harry really wasn´t sure if that was the truth. He sighed and took his friend’s hand.
“When your father was found, he wasn´t… how do I say this. His body wasn´t intact. The death eaters placed parts of him all over the house and the placements suggest that… What I mean is…” He looked at Hermione for help. He just couldn´t say it.
“Ron, I will just tell you how it is. But be warned it´s not pretty. What Harry is trying to say is that they deliberately took the one thing that matters to each one of you and placed a body part with it. Your kitchen is the place where the whole family comes together, so they placed a part of him on the kitchen table. They placed parts of him with the joke stuff in the twin’s room and they covered your cannon posters and so on. Only someone who knows you really well would know this stuff.” Hermione explained and Harry cringed. He watched as Ron´s face fell and all colour left him.
“They did what? It´s not true!” He shrieked loudly and sprang to his feet.
“Please tell me it´s not true.” Ron whispered looking at Harry.
“I´m so sorry.” Harry said quietly and watched as Ron ran to the bathroom. They quickly followed him, and Hermione wetted a towel which she lay onto Ron´s neck while he threw up violently. It only lasted a few minutes and they helped a shaking Ron to his feet and to the sink. The red head threw cold water in his face before he went back into the bedroom and slumbed down on Harry´s bed.
“Are you okay mate?” Harry asked carefully.
“No… I´m not and I think I will never be again.”
“Tell me about his friends. Did anyone ever visit him at the burrow?”
“When he was younger yes, but not in a long time.”
“Who was it?”
“Some Hufflepuff guy, Sebastian… something…” He racked his hands through his hair.
“Miller? I think that´s it. Sebastian Miller. He´s the only one I can think of. He never was very popular.”
“Thank you, Ron. I hope it will help Tonks to find something. Percy has disappeared. Tonks and Kingsley have been looking for him since it happened but they couldn´t find him. I think he must have someone who helped him disappear.”
“Do you really think he did it?” Ron asked.
“I can´t know for sure, but I honestly think he did. Maybe not the killing and dismembering part, but I really think he was there. The death eaters couldn´t have known all this. I still hope I´m wrong but it would explain why we can´t find him. Maybe he´s at Voldemort´s site, waiting for the final battle or at one of the houses of his followers.”
“Do you think he has the mark?”
“I do, I believe Riddle wouldn´t allow anyone to join his cause without taking it.”
“If you´re right about him, I swear to god, I will kill him.”
“Ron! He´s your brother!” Hermione admonished him.
“So? If that son of a bitch is guilty and I ever see him again I will end his miserable life. You get it, right Harry? After all that happened with your uncle?”
“I guess I get the instinct.”
“Harry! Don´t encourage him!” Hermione said sounding quite scared.
“And why not? He killed Arthur! Arthur! The most kind-hearted, loving man I ever met Mione. His own father.”
“We don´t know that yet! Not for sure anyways.”
“I know, you´re right. Sorry.”
“Why are you apologizing?” Ron yelled.
“Please keep it down Ron, I don´t want Ginny to come looking for us and to answer your question, because she is right. We don´t know the truth. I will give Tonks the name and we will see what she finds out.”
“Fine…” Ron said defeated.

Harry was already asleep when Severus came looking for him. He woke when he felt someone stroking his cheek and opened his eyes.
“Hey.” He whispered quietly.
“Hey.” Severus answered just as gently.
“Are you alright?”
“Yes, just fine, you?” He asked while he climbed into bed next to him.
“Much better now that you´re back.” Harry said and Severus pulled him into his arms.
“I missed you.” The older man said and kissed his forehead.
“I missed you too. It was a long day. Hermione said everything went well?”
“Yes, we got all the blood, and the ministry will start on the wards tomorrow.”
“Good, are we helping?”
“Most of the DA will help but not you and me?”
“Why? I mean I know I won´t but why not you?”
“Because I´m a teacher Harry. I have enough to do here and not only for class.”
“I know, stupid question.”
“Not stupid, one with an obvious answer maybe.”
“You´re too kind.” Harry said and Severus chuckled.
“Harry, I was wondering… Have you thought about baby names yet?”
“Not really. Why?”
“I heard a name today that I really liked.”
“What is it?” Harry asked curiously.
“Elea. I never heard it before, but I like it a lot.”
“Elea…” Harry said with a little smile.
“Do you like it?”
“I love it actually. It´s a pretty name.” Severus smiled and gave him a sweet kiss.
“I thought you would like it. Any Ideas for the other little one?”
“Hmh… I think I would like to honour my mother in some way, but I don´t want to name her Lilly. It would make me too sad I think.”
“What about her real name.”
“Emma?” He felt Severus nodding.
“I think I like it. Emma… Emma and Elea. What do you think?”
“I think it´s perfect. Their twins, it fits that they both start with an E.”
“I like that they´re short names.”
“What do you think about middle names?”
“Not quite sure. What about your mother´s name? Eileen, wasn´t it?”
“Yes, but I never really liked the name to be honest.”
“I didn´t want to say it, but I don´t love it either. I played with the thought that I might give one of the girls the name Jean. It´s Hermione´s middle name and I think Emma Jean sounds nice, but I´m not sure anything really goes with Elea. It´s such a strong name.”
“Well, we don´t have to decide right now. We still have time.”
“I can´t wait till they´re here. Do you think they will be identical?”
“I really hope so. It would be so sweet.”
“I hope they get your smarts; I know I´m not stupid but still…”
“You are certainly not. I just hope they get your nose.”
“I love your nose!” Harry said and leaned up to kiss it.
“No, you´re not!”
“Yes, I do!”
“I don´t believe you.”
“Too bad, it´s the truth.”
“Thank you.” Harry laid his head back against his chest. They were quiet for a while, just enjoying their time together.
“Severus?”
“Hmh…”
“Are you worried sometimes?”
“About what?”
“We both grew up in a broken household. Sometimes I´m afraid that I will turn into my aunt and uncle. How are we supposed to know if were doing things right?” Severus flicked his wand to put on the candles. He sat up and pulled Harry with him. He cupped one of his cheeks and looked at him gently.
“I don´t want to hear you say something like that ever again Harry.”
“But…”
“No, please listen.” He waited until Harry nodded his head.
“You are nothing like them love. You are kind and generous. You love unconditionally, that´s not something many people can do. You are not one to inflict pain, you will never starve your child, or beat it or rape it. You are not capable of such things. I am not worried, not even a bit.”
“You really think so?”
“I know so.”
“Then I believe you.”
“Good. Now come here.” Severus said and pulled him closer. They lay back down, and Severus flicked his wand again to turn the light back down. They kissed and as it happened so often, Harry lost himself completely. When they pulled apart, Harry´s heart was racing in his chest, and he needed a few minutes to calm it down again. Severus closed his eyes and ran his fingers through Harry´s hair who sighed contently as he led the gentle touch guide him back to sleep.
