Harry Potter: Shadows of Tomorrow

Before she could say anything, Harry had placed a hand over her mouth, which she had to admit was a good thing as she nearly screamed. Surprisingly it wasn't the scar, that attracted her attention, after the initial shock she found herself infatuated with his green eyes. She found herself lost in those emerald eyes, once she got past the fact that she had never saw someone with green eyes she then found herself analysing those very eyes. They told her so much about him, she couldn't explain it but he seemed powerful and in pain but he also seemed kind and nice. They also reminded her of fresh pickled toads.

"You going to scream again?" Harry slowly removed his hand, and noticed she was blushing as hard as possible

"You…You're H….Harry Potter?" She managed to get out

"Well that's what I'm told" He joked before putting his glamour's back on, he noticed a slight look of disappointment when he did "so, do you still want to be my friend?"

"You…want to be…friends with….me?" Ginny expected to wake up some time soon

"Yeah it'd be nice to have a friend, I've never had one before and you seem interesting, where's your family anyway?"

"I don't know, I lost them" She answered, feeling a little bit embarrassed

"Well you can walk around with me for a bit if you want? Maybe you'll find them if we walk around for a bit"

"O…okay" she nodded, next thing she knew Harry had grabbed her head and the two walked all over Diagon Alley. Ginny was surprised by how nicely her hand fit into Harry's, Harry was nothing like what she expected him to be. He was skinny and seemed to have been through a lot more than she has but he still seemed so nice and kind. She was glad to have gotten the chance to know the real Harry, whilst Harry was just glad to have gotten to know someone who was willing to spend time with him.

Normally he'd never dream of talking to or even touching anyone else, but something about Ginny had made him no longer have those concerns. Maybe it was her innocence or kindness, but she seemed like someone he could trust. Harry and Ginny spent the time looking around, Harry had brought himself some potions that Merlin advised getting so he could repair his body. Merlin taught him about magic and combat and helped him learn a lot of things, however the only thing that changed about his actual body was his magical strength and the special cloak he had brought back with him. That actually reminded Harry to remove his magical blocks and the piece of Voldermort in his scar when he gets home, Merlin had taught him a few ritual to accomplish those tasks.

He and Ginny decided to walk into one of the pet shops to look around, when a black scaled, green eyed snake caught his eye. If the ritual went right then Harry should still be able to keep his parsle-tongue ability, after buying the snake and assuring Ginny that neither of them were evil they walked out. Harry instructed the snake, who he had named Emerald, to hide in his trunk until he gets home.

Once Harry closed his trunk he was suddenly very glad to have not been holding Ginny's hand at that particular moment, because it'd be awkward explaining that to the group of red-heads approaching. From what Ginny had told them about their family during their conversations, Harry worked out who was who. The rock-star looking one with the pony tail must be her favourite brother Bill, the slightly smaller one was probably Charlie, Harry assumed that the one with the glasses was Percy, the twins were obviously the twins, Ginny said the slightly taller one was Fred while the other was George. The smallest and scruffiest looking was probably Ron, though he was taller than Harry and the short, plump angry looking woman was probably her mother. They all looked relieved apart from Percy and Ron who looked embarrassed and annoyed whilst the mother looked furious.

"There you are" Bill wrapped her in a hug "for the love of merlin please don't run off again" Harry was surprised by how he didn't seem remotely angry, it seems Ginny's descriptions of her family were accurate.

"Ginerva Molly Weasley! What do you think you were doing running off like that?!" Her mother roared

"Ron had upset me and I ran, I didn't know I'd run so far away." The brothers (except Percy) all glared at Ron, who didn't seem to notice as he was too busy glaring at Harry who was pretending not to notice.

"You still shouldn't have done that" Her mother responded "no stories for a month" Before her brothers could say anything Ginny responded

"Okay mummy" Ginny bowed her head, the brothers seemed utterly shocked, Ginny loved those stories yet didn't argue or cry when they were taken away. Molly however looked disappointed at the lack of reaction, this annoyed Harry but he chose not to make a scene. At least, not yet, maybe later.

"Who are you?" Ron asked rudely, Harry composed himself and resisted the urge to throw Ron against a wall. He put on a fake smile, nothing too happy but good enough to show he had no dislike against him or anyone here.

"I'm Harold Smith" It was a common muggle name but it'd do

"I'm so sorry my daughter has troubled you" Molly spoke before Ron could respond

"Trouble me?" Harry nearly laughed at the very idea "no she hasn't troubled me, I walked into her when I wasn't looking and she told me she was looking for her family. I told her she could keep me company while I walk and hopefully we'd find her family, we've just been talking while I was shopping and I rather enjoyed her company." Harry didn't have to look to know Ginny was blushing, Bill seemed to have noticed it but chose not to say anything.
