Harry Potter: Shadows of Tomorrow

Chapter 69: Harry's Nightly Confessions



An hour of laughing and snogging later, the train arrived at the station. They along with the twins found themselves met with Molly Weasley as soon as they got out, Ron was too busy talking with Hermione and her parents to notice. Her parents disapproving looks at Ronald were noticed by everyone, except Ronald and Hermione but that was only because he was thick and she wasn't paying attention as she was looking at Harry and the other Weasleys.

"Harry" Mrs Weasley spoke in a nice voice but Harry could detect the emotions she had hidden, he had to guess that she was still upset over him taking Dumbledore to court

"Hello Mrs Weasley" Harry returned the fake niceness, although his was more convincing "if you don't mind me asking, where is Mr Weasley?"

"His working at the moment dear" She answered

"Okay" Harry replied before kissing Ginny on the cheek "well, I got to go now, so see ya Ginny." He then turned to the twins and shook their hands "Gred and Feorge, stay in trouble"

"Oh we will young master" Fred smiled

"Pranksters honour" George added

"Harry" Mrs Weasley interjected "where are you going exactly?"

"Home" Was Harrys simple reply "well I'm planning to make a few stops before I get there but that is where I'm intending to go"

"Harry" She spoke softly "you know I worry about you, staying in a house all by yourself, I understand that's how you like it but you shouldn't be alone"

"I'm not alone" Harry smiled "but maybe I should just stay with Remus or Sirius for the summer, I'll think about it on my way there" He wasn't going to, he had already told Remus that the guardianship was only a legal formality he needed help with and he would visit from time to time and see him and Sirius.

"Now that's good Harry" She replied "but I was thinking that maybe you could tell me where your house is and I could pop in every now and then and make sure everything is safe and sound. That way you can stay at home and still be supervised and I could help you with your cleaning and cooking"

"I'm sorry Mrs Weasley" Harry wasn't really sorry but sometimes he had to lie "but I can't let you come to my house"

"Why not?!" She demanded "I've let you come to my house, don't you trust me?!"

"Of course I do" Harry lied again, sometimes they can be quite tiring "but I'm not letting anyone come to my house, I haven't even let Ginny come yet and I trust her more than anyone"

"But why?!" She all but shouted

"It's just a security thing, I'm serious about security and a bit paranoid. I also like having my own place where nobody can bother me, it makes me feel safe. Plus no offence Mrs Weasley but if you know then I have to assume that Ron would eventually know and that boy can't keep a secret to save his life. Just the other day he blurted out something about you using magic to make your food better" Then again, sometimes lies can be entertaining

"He what?!" she shouted, Ginny and the twins through sheer will managed to keep a straight face, they always thought it was nice how Harry took time to entertain them.

"Yeah" Harry nodded "don't shoot the messenger, I'm just repeating his words, he told me he'd choose the Hogwarts food over yours any day, personally I think you're just as good but he says otherwise. Goodness gracious is that the time, I have to go, goodbye Mrs Weasley. See you guys"

"Bye Harry" The three Weasleys smiled and waved as the raven haired boy left leaving a very seething Molly Weasley and watched in glee and anticipation as one Ronald Weasley walked over from an awkward encounter with Hermione's parents. No sooner than he reached the group his mother had grabbed him by the ear and lead him away, screaming and shouting.

Harry stopped by to see Sirius and Remus, he told them all about his year after the trial and as usual they ended up nearly laughing to death, he also told them about what happened at the train station and that nearly finished them off.

They talked and ate for a bit before Harry had to leave, as a parting gift he gave Remus a year's supply of Wolfsbane potion as a thank you for his help. Remus had to hold back the tears as he grabbed Harry and pulled him into the tightest hug he'd ever experienced. Harry wondered if he was that happy or if his inner wolf was a bit pissed off. Harry eventually returned home, he greeted everyone, elf and animal alike before retiring to his bed.

"Hey guys" Harry whispered, talking to his parents before sleeping as that was now tradition on his night back from Hogwarts "life is never simple is it? Good news, me and Ginny are getting along well. Same with the twins and Neville, Hagrids joined me and the prats are still being prats. I don't know what's going to happen at my next year at school, maybe vampires or another attack from old voldy-shorts.

Either way I don't plan on seeing you two in person for a while yet, unless you can come back from the dead, in which case hurry it up yeah. I'm going to give Dumbledore until the end of fifth year to do something productive. I know it's a long time away but I should be sufficiently trained by then and would have probably have more time to have fun before things get serious.

And dad, no Sirius/serious jokes please. If he doesn't then me and Ginny are going to soul bond and I'll do it myself, fair warning I probably won't make it quick. I like to think I'm allowed a little fun when I'm avenging my parents, Dumbledore and Voldermort are going to regret three things. The day I was born, the day I survived and the day I fight back.

Ginny says 'hi' by the way. Now before I go sleep I want to say Padfoot and Mooney are doing as good as can be, and if I have my way then by the time they join you they'll be a Mrs Mooney as well. The guy seriously needs somebody, unless there's more going on with him and Padfoot than just being honorary brothers. Somehow I doubt it, Padfoots not his type, besides I think that fact that Padfoot flirts with nearly every woman he sees whilst Mooney tries not to look is an indicator that it's not true. I wouldn't judge them if it was though, but it's not so I'll eventually need to get Mooney someone. Not going to bother with Padfoot, he's destined to be single and partying until he's older than Dumbledore. However if he does find someone then I'll steer him right, lord knows he'd need me.

Alright, well until next time I miss you two, dad don't annoy mum and mum just put up with him until I come there and take him off your hands. Good night"
