Bring to Order

Chapter 1

This started as a one shot, but it grew somewhat, now at 60k words and going strong

This is a Harry/Hermione story, with a few added on later.

Good morning my love

I just wanted to leave you with a note

to tell you how I feel

This morning

When I leave our rooms

I can still smell

your smell on my face

the juices got up my nose.

and I will be smelling you all morning

I cherish this.

I also cherish

the way you bite your lip and try to stay silent

when you orgasm

and any time I see

you in the library

or at lunch

and I see you bite your lip

like you do

I will remember last night

I will remember

the way your feet beat on my back

and the way you squirmed as your thighs

clamped my head

and you held back the sound

as your body felt its release.

I love your bushy hair

so wild and untameable like you

and your lovely brown eyes.

and your sexy big brain

and the way you care

about how others are treated.

and the fact that

you have never given up on me.

even when I gave up on myself

even when

our world called me a liar and a nutter

and its only because of you

I was able to end his reign

only because of you

could I stand up to his evil

Because only you

gave me a reason

to live and fight

because only you

see me as I am.

I will cherish you always

and spend the rest of my life making you happy

because without you

I would not have a life

Everything I have is yours for the asking.

I love you Hermione

I cherish you

Harry.

__o0o__

She sat on the bed, tears running down her face,

the note crumpled in her hand.

"Thats not how it was supposed to work.. he was mine.. "

she stomped out of the room, the door slamming behind her.

Harry and Hermione sat at the head of the table smiling and whispering to each other.

the rest of the table left a few seats between them and the rest of the Gryffindor house.. giving the Head Boy and Girl their privacy.

Ginny sat at the far end whispering to Ron, who after hearing his sister's words, nodded. he pulled out a hair and handed it to her, and she did something under the table.

The two gingers got up and strolled up to the head of the table and inserted themselves in the chairs next to the Head Boy and Girl. "How are you this morning, Harry, Herms?" Ginny cheerily interrupted the other's conversation. Harry looked over at the younger girl and a fleeting something swept across his face. Ron picked up the fork at the place setting and began to fill his plate with too much food. Hermione's face flicked with anger at the name "Herms" Ron's usual eating habits came to the fore and disgusted, both Heads looked away.. Ginny took this opportunity to do a quick switching spell on their drinks of the others. "Wushk 'bout ttha prat' tice this afnoon? He spoke with his usual mouthful of food. Totally disgusting.. "Ron, don't speak with your mouth full,, thats crude and vulgar" Hermione spoke. As she did, her hand slapped the table and her eyes widened slightly as the bracelet Harry had given her vibrated, giving her a tingly feeling. Her hand lay on the table between her plate and her drink. Ron mumbled something, as Hermione's eyes grabbed Harry's attention. He looked at her , almost casually, not revealing anything, as Ginny was chattering away about something. and Ron was being ..Ron.

__o0o__

Harry casually picked up his drink with his right hand.. His Potter Family Signet ring vibrated a warning. His eyes twitched towards Ginny and back to Hermione's, looking deeply into hers. A message traveled through the ether. as Ginny chattered on, her eyes fixed on Harry, holding his drink almost to his lips, but not quite. Ginny nattered on, unable to stop, whatever came out, not meaning anything, just noise. Hermione subtly got out her wand and tapped the girl on her neck, paralyzing her in place, locked in her chair, unable to move. her mouth moving, but no sound coming out.. This got Ron's attention. "Huh? what's going on, what's wrong with Gin?" "What did you do to her, Herms?"

A hand clamped on the back of Ron's neck, holding him down in his chair. He almost tried to use an elbow on Harry's face, but an angry hiss n his ear stopped him. "What are you doing Ron, putting potions in our drinks.. is that the way to treat a friend?, poisoning them with potions.,.let's see what this is, huh, Ron?" No one noticed the altercation, well no one but Neville. Neville was sitting two seats down , eating his lunch with Luna.. He made a motion with his eyes, and she glanced up, her eyes flicking across the paralyzed Weasleys and the now furious, but not showing it Heads. Luna took up her napkin and gently dabbed her lips. "It appears that the whizzly brain newts have invaded their brains, making them prone to irresponsible behavior" She sighed, sadly. "It's too bad, because Whizzly Brain Newts are so hard to get rid of.." She pulled her wand out and quietly set up a silencing charm around the four at the head of the table, while Neville set up a shield charm, to avid the inevitable flying gravy.

__o0o__

Hermione's diagnostic charm revealed the potions in the drinks. "So, who's idea was it, Ronald, Yours or Ginnys? Harry asked while Hermione went through the test phase of her charm..a basic forensic piece that she had learned the year before. "Amorentia, no doubt about it..your drink is spiked with her essence, and mine is spiked with his." Hermione spoke sadly. This was the final break. "What now?" she looked to her love. Darkness gathered in Harry's eyes. "Call Amelia, Please."

Ron started to protest he was innocent.. "Shut up Ron" Harry took Ron's neck and slammed his face into the table, splashing gravy and drink everywhere. Ron looked stunned and Ginny eeped, well, would have if she hadn't been silenced.

__o0o__

McGonnegal stood, looking down from the Head Table, shocked at the events occurring literally, right under her nose.. It was the sudden silence that caught her attention.. the nattering of Ginny, suddenly quiet in the usual noise of a lunch in the great hall. She looked down and saw Luna and Neville casting charms on the Head Boy and Girl, and the two Weasleys sitting there directly in front of her..she saw Ginny frozen in place, and Harry take Ron by the neck, and speak to him, and then slam his classmate down, face first in his plate, Hermione stood and made her way to the front of the Head table. Not many noticed what was going on,

"What is Happening Here, Miss Granger?"

You could hear the capital letters in her speech "Headmistress, I am calling Amelia Bones of the DMLE, there has been an attack on Harry and myself" she glanced toward the table where a semi-conscious Ron lolled in his chair and cast a notice-me-not charm and any students seeing anything lost interest. "What kind of attack,, and by whom?" McGonnegal really didn't want to hear the answer.

"Apparently Ginny and Ronald convinced themselves that we, Harry and I , needed to be their lust slaves, and our drinks were spiked with Amorentia, poorly made amorentia at that.. "

"Very well, let us contain the crime scene.. Dingle" a house elf popped in "
Yes Headmistress? Dingle was the elf in charge of the kitchens. "Please do not clear the table here where Mr Potter and Miss Granger are sitting, the Aurors will need to gather evidence.."

"Yes, Headmistress. Dingle will comply." Hermione took this opportunity to call Head of the DMLE Amelia Bones with her M-phone

"Yes Hermione, is there a problem?" Amelia had become friends with Harry and Hermione, what with the demise of the Dark Lord at Harry's hands.. "Yes Amelia, unfortunately, there has been an attack on Harry and myself, a potions attack, Amorentia." Amelia sighed. "Who" Hermione looked as if she was about to cry. "Ron and Ginny Weasley" "very well, contain the evidence and suspects, I will have my people there in a few minutes.." "Thank you, Amelia.." she closed her M-phone "Amelia is sending over Aurors.." Harry stood and put his arms around Hermione's shoulders, gathered her into his arms and held her as she cried. Neville and Luna waited nearby, as Ron continued with his unconscious behavior.

The lunch crowd cleared out and there was no one left but those involved and the Headmistress. Shacklebolt and Tonks strode into the hall, red robes fluttering behind. "How may we Help you today, Harry?" Shack asked. Harry was stonefaced. "The Weasleys tried to dose us with Amorentia, and we caught them in the act." he paused and didn't look at his former friends. Apparently Ginny wanted me all to herself, and "Ron wanted Hermione, I cannot fathom why, because they have nothing in common.. maybe all he wants is a sex slave, I didn't ask." Hermione was still in his arms. Ron had regained consciousness, his face covered with blood and gravy. He was trying to say something, but the silencing spell kept him quiet.

"Are you going to question them here, or at the Ministry?" McGonnegal asked.. "Since Miss Weasley is underage, she should have a parent present.."

"I will call Molly, and get her over here. " Tonks volunteered. Harry countered with "You should call Arthur as well.. he IS the head of the Weasley clan. This is a serious situation. Tonks nodded and went about contacting the parents. Shack questioned Harry, who deferred to Hermione. "She noticed it first, so, in proper order." Shacklebolt nodded. Hermione told the story as she saw it, followed by Harry who filled in a few blanks, They took a break and Shack interviewed Neville and Luna, and complemented them on their quick thinking and support of their friends.. Shack told Neville that he had trained with Frank and Alice and when they had a chance he would tell him a few stories of that time.

Molly arrived and shortly thereafter, Arthur did also. surprisingly enough, Percy accompanied Arthur, they had been making some headroads into rebuilding the relationship. Molly wailed and went toward her two children who were still bound and silenced, but Tonks had to head her off. "Sorry Molly, you can't, until they have been interviewed, they are suspects in a crime.." Tonks had to be firm in her blocking, for Molly was shorter and had fairly good traction. Molly wailed and shuffled over to Arthur..

"Now then.. Tonks, is the recording ready?" Tonks nodded in assent. "Very well.." Shack rumbled Everyone find a seat, and do not interfere or speak. I will ask any questions, if you have a question for the suspect, write it down and let me have it. understood?" everyone nodded. Molly sniffed. "my babies" she murmured. Tonks levitated the chair which Ron was sitting in and sat it in the middle of the aisle, clear of any objects or potential weapons. She then did the same to the chair bearing Ginny.

She moved over to the table where the party had been sitting, levitated Harry's cup and did the appropriate diagnostics, the same ones Hermione had done earlier, and spoke.

"Evidence label 9-26-97-01,One standard drinking cup containing pumpkin juice, and a significant amount of Amorentia, approximately 30 ml, with essence tag, female, redhead, age 15." "Cup is from place setting of Lord Harry James Potter-Black." she waved her wand in a diagnostic over Ginny . "Essence match to Ginevera Molly Weasley, age 15, Hogwarts student, 6th year." she placed said cup in a stasis bag, where it would not spill or deteriorate. She picked up the drinking cup from Hermione's place setting.

"Evidence label 9-26-97-02"

"One standard drinking cup, Pumpkin Juice, with 34ml Amorentia, with essence tag, male, redhead, age 17. Cup is from place setting of Lady Hermione Potter nee Granger. "

she waved her wand and did a diagnostic over Ronald. "Essence match to Ronald Bilius Weasley, Age 17, Hogwarts student,7th year"

__o0o__

"Now see here, there must be some kind of mistake, thats not possible.." "Silence, or I will charge you with interfering with a criminal investigation.." Shacklebolt glared at Molly who was trying to get up from her chair.. but she was bonded to the chair with a sticking charm. Molly was mumbling.. "ts only a little potion, what's the harm" Arthur and Percy were staring at her in shock. Ron and Ginny were agape, staring at Hermione who was nestled in Harry's arms.. "Lady Potter?" was running through their minds..

"Ronald Weasley, look at me." Shacklebolt was standing over Ron, who was at this time able to move his head. His mouth moved, but he was still silenced. "I am going to clean you up and repair your injuries, nod if you understand" Ron sullenly nodded. Shacklebolt did a quick scourgify to remove the blood and gravy and did a small bit of battlefield medic magic. it wasn't painless, but it was quick.

"You are to be dosed with veritaserum and then you will answer any questions I ask, and those I ask only. do you understand.?" again, a sullen nod. Shacklebolt took out the latest Auror issue tool, a squirt bottle of Veritaserum/DMSO mix, contact truth serum. get some on your skin and it is absorbed instantly. He sprayed the mist in Ron's face, twice, and then waited a moment. The moisture on Ron's face visibly sank into the skin, and Ron's eyes had an odd sheen to them. Arthur raised his hand, Shacklebolt acknowledged him. Arthur pointed to the bottle. "What's that, and how does it work? Shacklebolt explained the chemical mix, and how it was now impossible to overdose someone with veritaserum, as was a semi-common thing before. They returned their attention to Ronald.

"State your name"

"Ronald Bilius Weasley"

"did you give Lady Potter-Black Amorentia?"

"No"

"Who did?"

"Ginny"

"Your sister Ginny"

"Yes"

"Did you agree to this?"

"Yes"

"Whose idea was it"

"Ginny's"

"Did she say why she wanted to dose these people"

"She wants Harry for herself"

"Do you want Harry?"

"No"

"Who do you want"

"Hermione"

"And who else"

"Luna"

"Anyone else?"

"Lavender"

"Any more"

"Pansy"

"Pansy?"

"Yeah, Parkinson"

"Any other girls?"

"No"

"Boys?"

"Umm"

"Why all these girls"

"Shag em"

"You want them for sex only?"

"Yeah"

"do you have any love for any of these women you mentioned?"

"Nah, just want to fuck em"

"You're a real prince"

"Yeah"

"How did you end up with your essence in Lady Potter's drink?"

"Ginny made it up"

"Did you know the dosage was incorrect?"

"No"

"The dosage was enough to poison someone, maybe even kill them."

"Yeah"

"Do you care, your friends might have been killed?"

"nah"

"what started this episode?"

"Ginny found a letter"

"Where"

"In the Heads room"

"In the Heads common room?"

"In their bedroom"

"What was she doing there?"

"Dunno"

"Stealing"

"Maybe"

"Snooping?"

"Probably"

"Wait there."

Shacklebolt looked around "Any questions for this witness?

Hermione looked incensed

"It will wait until you interview her." she paused "Ask him if he has ever stolen anything from Harry or I"

"Have you ever stolen anything from Harry Potter?"

"Yeah"

"What was it"

"The first time was his money bag,"

"There was more than one time?"

"Yeah."

"The second time?"

"Some stuff from Black's house"

"what?"

Some gold things and some weapons I sold in Knockturn Alley"

"Anything else?"

"a sandwich"

"Anything of value?"

"He had the food saved for summer at his relatives, I got it all"

"Saved for the summer?"

"Yeah, they didn't feed him anything."

"Really?"

"Yeah, everyone knew it, they starved him and beat him and gave him crap clothes, and we laughed our asses off about it."

"Everyone?"

"Mum and Ginny and I, and Dumbledore, he would tell us stories of how Harry begged, and then sent him back too that hole..
He promised Ginny would have Harry, and when Harry was killed by You-know-who, we would get all his money.."

"What were you promised?"

"I would get ownership of Puddlemere United, and a position as starting keeper"

"The quidditch team?"

"Yeah, Harry owns it now, but I get it when he's killed, Dumbledore promised"

everyone there looked shocked at the revelation.

"Harry didn't die, he survived killing the Dark Lord"

"He wasn't supposed to"

"how was he to die?"

"Snape has a way"

"Snape?"

"Yeah"

"He was a marked Death eater, and they all died with Voldemort"

"yeah, I know."

"Are you a Death Eater?"

shocked gasps from the gathering

"No..not yet"

""What do you mean, not yet?"

"I was not marked"

gasps all around

"Is Ginny a Death Eater?"

"Naw, she isn't"

"anyone else you know who isn't marked?"

"A couple"

"Names"

Corner, Boot, McLaggen,"

"More"

"Dunno"

"do you know any one else who has committed crimes against Harry""

"Yah"

"Who"

"Dumbledore"

"What did he do?"

"Stole from Harry's accounts, put him in the muggles house, stuff"

"Anything else to incriminate yourself with?"

"What's incriminate?"

"Forget it.. why do you hate Harry so much, he has been nothing but a friend to you for years."

"He's rich and famous, and gets whatever he wants. he's got everything"

"The cost for everything was his family dead, you know."

"So what"

"What?"

"We're done for now, Ronald, sit there quietly"

"Ok"

"Ginevra Molly Weasley"

"MMMMPT"

a few squirts of a spray bottle

"State your name"

"rrrrrr"

another squirt

"State your name"

"Ggginn yy Wweassllyy"

"Are you fighting the veritaserum?"

"yyyesss"

"You shouldn't, it won't do you any good"

"I fought Tom..fforra yyear"

"Tom?"

"Voldddeeemorrrt"

"how?"

Harry interrupted.

"She was possessed by Tom Riddle's shade in her first year of school, and this may be why she has taken the actions she has.. this needs to be taken into consideration."

Shacklebolt raised an eyebrow.

"Let it be stated for the official Record that the witness has been held under the possession for an extended period of time, and this fact may be grounds for dismissal of any charges."

"Let it also be stated that the victim has spoken in the defense of the defendant, and will be making a statement at a later time."

he raised an eyebrow in question, and Harry nodded in assent.

"To continue. Miss Weasley, how did you come to put Amorentia in the drinks of Lord and Lady Potter?

"can you prove I did it?"

"Yes, the drinks you and your brother carried have trace amounts of the drugged juice, your fingerprints are on the cups, your wand has the switching spell, as noted by priori incantatum, and you have a vial with undiluted amorentia in the pocket of your robe."

"All this is circumstantial, but it IS enough to convict you"

"Tell us what started this action"

"I was snooping in Harry's room."

"Why?"

"Because he makes my..bits quiver, and I wanted something to stop that itch."

"Did you find anything that would do that?"

"No"

"what did you find?"

"I found HER clothes and things in his room"

"Who?"

"Hermy"

"Lady Hermione Potter?"

"I didn't know she married him"

"Yes, two weeks ago, right after he destroyed the dark lord"

"I thought she was with Parkinson"

"What else did you find?"

"a letter he wrote Hermione"

"What kind of letter?"

"a love note, I guess"

"Where is it now?"

"In my pocket"

"Auror Tonks, check the items removed from her pockets please"

tonks did so, and shook her head no after looking through the items from her pockets and bookbag.

"It does not seem to be there"

"My hidden pocket"

"Where is your hidden pocket?"

"in my bra"

"Tonks?"

The female Auror went over and examined the girl's clothes closely, Harry and Neville did the proper thing and looked down, Tonks poked and was impressed, she removed the letter and a vial.

"Very hidden, wouldn't know it was there if you didn't know what to look for" She did a few quick manipulations with her wand and Ginny was rendered bra less. Inasmuch as she was an "A" cup, it didn't really matter much, Most of the pocket was in the volume of the cup. She had two pockets that from the outside looked and felt like girl, but in reality were stealth storage.

"Where did you get this, I have never seen anything like it?"

"I had George and Fred make it for me, I worked out what I wanted, and they figured out how to do it."

"Very clever."

"thank you"

"Miss Weasley, you are an obviously intelligent girl, why would you try to damage another person's relationship for your own gratification?

"Mum said I was to have The Boy who lived, it was my right, and SHE is standing in my way"

"Did you make the potion?"

"No"

"Who did?"

"Mum, or maybe she bought it, I dunno"

"Did she tell you to dose Harry and Hermione?"

"Yes"

"Why ?"

"Why what?"

"Why would your mother tell you to dose someone with a love potion?"

"Thats what she did to get dad"

"What!!!!"

this was from Arthur

"
"Mum told us how she dosed Dad in their sixth year, to 'get him off the fence' and how they fell madly in love, and how we would have One big Happy Weasley Family"

"That's quite a story"

"Mum says it worked, she only had to give it to him until she was pregnant with Bill"

Arthur stood, ramrod straight and took his wife by the arm and practically marched her over to a far corner of the Great Hall. They were over in the corner talking and waving arms and hands and shouting behind a silencing charm.

Percy sat up straight and looked forward, not seeing anything, let alone his sister.

"And we shall continue. Professor McGonnegal, would you see to the young ladies counsel?"

"I shall. Continue"

"Tell us how this came to pass"

"I wrote mum, and she told me to take the potions, and put my hair in the one for Harry, and if Ron wanted her, his hair in the potion designed for Hermione. I did that, and asked Ron if he wanted Hermione, he said, he would use her for a month or so. We distracted them and I did a switching spell with our drinks."

"So the whole potions thing was your Mother's idea?.

"Yes"

"Is there still some darkness in you Ginny?"

"I think there might be"

"Has anyone ever helped you after having been possessed?"

"I talked to some people at St Mungo's, but it really didn't help much"

"why didn't it help much?"

"because I don't care how I get what I want, I'll do anything to get my wish"

"Are you a virgin?"
"no"

"Why not?"

"because I have been doing anything I was told to do since my first year."

"Told by who?"

"the black voice"

"Black voice?"

"In my head"

"what's it telling you now?"

"Fight you "

"Me?

"Yes.. "

"Do you want to fight me?"

"No"

"Then why not stop?"

"...Because, I have to"

"Why?"

"you will do something to me.."

"To you, or to the black voice?"

"....."

"Ginny?"

".....hh..help..mmmeee"

"Petrificus"

Shacklebolt looked to Harry, who looked deeply into Hermione's eyes. they nodded and holding hands went to the chair in which Ginny sat, petrified.

A wave and a tidy loveseat appeared, and the couple sat down.

The couple still held hands and each reached out and laid a hand on each side of Ginny's head.

"Finite"

the petrificus spell was lifted and the girl slumped, defeated and limp in her chair.

"stay calm, Ginny, we will help you,
Hermione and I are the only ones who can, since we are the only ones with experience in dealing with Tom's shite". Harry spoke softly to the girl. Tonks and Shacklebolt erected sound barriers and a shield around the three, and let them go about their work. Arthur and Molly stood behind the others, watching, but not standing close together, in fact there was a abyss seperating them, even though they were physically only a few feet apart.

__o0o__

Hermione's voice was soothing in Ginnys ear, calming her and keeping the demons at bay, From the outside, the language the Head girl spoke was not english, in fact it was an ancient norse dialect, invoking runic magic. Hermione was speaking runes of protection and control into the girl's mind, protecting the pathways that they were likely to travel. The oddness of a couple of teenagers being able to do this kind of mind magic was.. somehow right, and yet not totally unexpected. Harry and Hermione were a very unusual couple. What the most people did not know, and they kept very close to their chest, is that they had spent almost three years in a time-restricted environment, studying and researching, and just..growing to love each other..
Harry was actually over 22 years old, and Hermione was just about to turn 21, and with their years of study, hey were both at Mastery level in their arts. When the fullness of time was to come, Hermione would be working at St Mungo's as a mind healer, and Harry was going to be working with the Unspeakables doing unspeakable things.

(I couldn't help myselfG)

Ginny was in a trance now. She felt herself standing in a great, undefined room, and off to the one side was a bright light, like sunlight blasting through an open door. The light was obscured and out of the brightness came two people,

who resolved themselves into
Harry and Hermione.

"Hello Ginny, how are you?" the couple smiled and took her hands, She felt at peace, not afraid in the slightest, a feeling she had not had in several years.

"I ..feel...like I am empty.. like the weight on my neck is gone.. " She looked at the older couple. "How do you do this?"

"Follow me, Gin, lets take a walk" Harry drew the girl along the path. The great empty hall was resolving itself into a group of caverns, with rock formations and protrusions around and above them. There was a path they had to follow which was a groove in the stone, worn by eons of water flowing, and strange tinkly lights traversing the crystalline paths in the stone. "Just through here.." they ducked and went through a low arch and into another vaguely circular hall. Great stalactites of multicolored crystals hung from the ceiling, met from the lake below by the mirrored pillars of similar stone. Up in the shadows, engorged and pulsing, a black, moldy and unpleasant growth

"There it is, your 'black voice' that has been bothering you..so, would you like to remove this foul thing, and let the REAL Gin Weasley out? Hermione asked and Gin nodded, "yes yes yes, oh yes..please" ...."How?" Hermione turned to Harry

"Your show, Mr Unspeakable.." she grinned at him. he rolled his eyes and shook his head. "Get ready to flush it out.." "Ok Gin, here's how we do it..
You and I are going to burn this thing out and make it let go, it will fall into the lake, and Hermione will do the magic that will flush it out.. " he paused. "What you see here is a combination of things, Part of it is the residue from when Tom was possessing you, this is literally his evil shite, so we need to flush it.. but the stuff would never have grown if the place had not been prepared for it to grow..unfortunately, that ground was sown by your own mother, telling you tales like, you deserve to have the 'boy who lived' and all those lies about how you were going to be rich someday by stealing someone else's birthright..I mean, who wants to marry someone and then kill them for their title and money.. its not right.. everyone knows the difference between right and wrong, and those who don't, it's because they have been taught wrongly."

"Together now, point at it and think the charm for an Incendio, in your mind you don't need a wand, just point.. one, two, three " Harry and Gin pointed at one end of the black mass and worked like a pressure washer, blasting the gunk free, as it fell into the lake below. They worked in tandem, back and forth back and forth, clearing the stuff from between the crevices and cracks, from around the stalactites and protrusions. eventually the thing was done. Harry and Ginny slumped in weariness.
Hermione was standing at the edge of the lake, her arms up, as if conducting an orchestra. The water swirled and gathered all the black and debris to the center, keeping ti contained. "Ready?" she asked.. "Go for it, it's all there, I think." The water heaved and gathered into a spherical mass, which floated at the center of the room. and at Hermione's direction it balanced over a gaping hole worn in the rock floor. The thing swirled a bit and with a slurping noise was sucked down the hole and out of sight.

__o0o__

Outside, the three were motionless for almost twenty minutes, and the watchers were beginning to become restless, when there was movement. Harry and Hermione sat back on their loveseat, letting go of Ginny's hands, as Ginny jerked forward, and began puking her guts and sinuses out.. great masses of black slimy ichor, followed by a watery discharge. The gunk splattered at her feet, and quickly Harry wandlessly gathered it into a container, which was sealed and set aside. Hermione tended to Ginny, washing her face and giving the girl a drink of fresh water, which she took a mouthful ans spit out, followed by a sneeze or two. Another round of cleanup and tissues, the girl sat back, and looking up at her two friends, began to cry. "Oh my, I am so sorry, I.. oh.. she couldn't speak, she just cried, burying her face in her lap. Harry levitated her from her seat to their loveseat, and they held her between them, whispering in her ears and telling her that they forgive and would forget, for she had not been in control of herself. It took a while, but she came around , and accepted that they had really forgiven her.

The gathered milled about and watched as the couple counseled Ginny, who was wiping her face and drinking and spitting.. They couldn't hear what was going on, but it was obviously a breakthrough. Arthur and Molly were not speaking, at least Arthur wasn't, he was staring at his two youngest children. Molly was trying to get his attention, he voice was bouncing off him, but not sticking.
After a while, she just gave up and silently cried.

Tonks walked over to the older couple. "MR Weasley, we will be taking Ronald in for further questioning, and when Ginevera is released from the Potter's care, we will be taking her also." "One of you will need to come, as Miss Weasley is still a minor, and I seriously advise you to hire a solicitor to represent them. " "Mrs Weasley, you are not leave the country, since you are an accessory to the crimes committed, do you understand?" Molly stammered and spoke.. "Nympha.." "Thats Auror Tonks, Ma'am, remember that" the pink haired law officer was in her stern cop mode. Molly just stammered again and nodded.

"Auror Tonks, what can you tell us?" Arthur spoke sotto voce to the Auror. Tonks sighed.
"I have seen Harry and Hermione do this before, with another young girl, the Death Eaters had captured her and one of them possessed her, and had her as their sex slave.. Our side had rescued her, but she wanted to kill herself to escape the thoughts and Memories." Tonks shuddered. "They" she indicated the Heads, "Helped the girl, did almost the exact same thing they did with Ginny, and then wiped her memory of all the events, repaired her virginity, and set her up with a good family in Sydney Australia, since all her family here was killed, they gave her a new life."

Her face grew solid, and blank. "And then Harry went out, tracked down every one of the Deez who did that to her and killed them all" She turned and looked at the two elder Weasleys.

"Never cross either of them., you won't like the fallout" Arthur just stared, and Molly was speechless.

"Ginny, come with us to the hospital wing, We need you to see Poppy Pomfrey" The teary girl rose and followed the older couple meekly, she didn't look up as she passed her parents, she just plodded on, her head hanging. They arrived in the clean environment of the hospital section.. Poppy was not just a mediwitch or nurse, she was a fully recognized Healer, and was licensed to work anywhere, hospital, clinic or research facility.

During the war, besides serving Hogwarts as medical facilities for students and staff, there was an entire separate part that few saw.. The magical equivalent of an army field hospital, and this served as the base of operations for the side of the light, a triage area, operating rooms, recuperation facilities.. Dumbledore may have been a manipulative jerk, but he did put in place some useful things, and this was one of them. Poppy Pomfrey was in charge of the facility, and she had a flexible team of surgeons, healers and specialists on call with permanent secret portkeys to get them inside.

Harry and Hermione were part of those who were deputized for the task. As soon as they were out of sight of the people in the Great hall, Harry activated his portkey and the three whirled away into the secret facility.

__o0o__

Tonks and Shacklebolt were speaking quietly, "What d'ya think? is Ronald smart enough to figure this out himself, or is he just a pawn?" Tonks shook her head. "In all the conversations I have had with the boy, he never struck me as being too intelligent.. sure he knows a few chess tricks, but that doesn't make him a brain or strategist.. I talked to Harry and Herm once about him and they said the only reason Ron has gotten this far is school, is that he was copying their homework all these years.. his total focus is eating, fucking, quidditch, and thats about it..oh yeah, also Ron is about a bigoted as a Malfoy, even though he's in Gryffindor" she sighed. "If it were me, I would have dropped the bum as a friend years ago, I don't know why they let him hang around.." Shack stared off into the distance. "I've known a few like that, when I was in school, and after.. those kind of guys just slide along through Auror school, and when you need them as backup, they fail you, and someone gets killed.. I usually try to put guys like that in non-critical spots, like Azkaban guards or Fudges protection squad..but now Fudge is gone and Azkaban destroyed.. what do we do with them?"

She poked him in the ribs. "Don't you ever consider putting ME on those kind of duties, hear?" Shack had his stone face on, watching the Weasleys talk to their son. "Getting a bit familiar there aren't you Miss Tonks?" She knew he was having her on, because she could feel his finger tracing up her back, from the top of her buttcrack up to her neck. "You betcha big fella"she leaned back, ever so subtly.

"Ronald how could you do such a thing, I mean, Harry has done so much for our family, and we owe him at least two life debts, and here. you are STEALING from him?!! And the attitude toward Hermione, I am sure I never taught you that kind of attitude, you RESPECT women, not USE them.!" Arthur was furious, both with Molly and the two youngest children.. He could only blame himself, he as a husband had not kept Molly in line, he was always working and not there when he was needed, between The Ministry and Dumbledore's Order work.. that was another one, the plans had been somehow set up between Molly and Dumbledore, Who was running his family, anyway.

"Percy, will you come with me please?" Percy looked up from his straight ahead gaze and saw his father speaking. "Er.. yes, father.. " he rose and followed his patriarch towards an alcove. "First of all Percy, I would like to offer my apologies to you, I am not sure why you cut off communications with the family, but I am sure you had a good reason, and if you wish, I would like to hear those reasons, when you have a chance." Percy was stunned, and then he nodded.. "Another tome, perhaps.."

"Yes, the current situation is more important at the moment." he sighed. "I have not been a good father or husband, in that I have not kept my family on the right track, and even worse, I didn't notice my daughter was this much out of control.." a tear was trying to come to his eye. " "I have had five sons, and I was unprepared for a girl, ..and I assumed my wife would see to the proper training and nurturing of her..The situation in her first year notwithstanding.. " he was about to go on, when Percy interrupted him..

"Father.." Percy put his hand on his father's shoulders. "I didn't turn my back on my family, I had to maintain cover, and I think some of the people I work with might be able to help Ginevra.. and I think I may know what happened to her. when she was going to St Mungo's for treatment back then.." Arthur looked up sharply. errr. Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? Percy nodded "Who will watch the watchmen.." Arthur grabbed his son and hugged him tightly. "Oh my Percy, I am so proud of you.. " They separated.. "Father?..were you?...." "Ghost" Percy responded with "Flunky" they both held it for a second.. and burst out laughing.. "I really hated Fudge and his pink toad, and now working for Scrimmy isn't much better..Hey Dad, you ever think of running for Minister? I mean, you and the others are reworking the whole structure of the government.. "

They were interrupted. "I think it would be a fine idea Arthur, you SHOULD run, and maybe we would finally have an honest government.." They both turned and faced Harry who was walking up the hall toward them. "Harry?" Arthur started.. "You're retired from the watchers, Arthur, but I will tell you..and you, Flunky.. " "Stealth" both redhead's eyes widened a bit. "I inherited the title from my father, and he from his father, so my grandfather was your commander in the first war, Arthur, and I am the commander in this one.. Arthur, Percy, the war is not over just because Tom is dead, we still have to clean up..and we NEED someone competent and honest to step up.. Percy, your help and information has been valuable and critical in these times, and we need you to keep your head low and continue to do your job." he sighed.

"unfortunately, right now we have some family business to take care of." Ginny is up in Poppys field hospital getting her virginity repaired, and her memories mildly altered, so they won't trouble her any more, the root cause of it has been removed, and yes, Percy, those people you were about to mention to your father can and will help her to recover.. she may want to leave the country to make a new life, it will be her decision..Hermione and I are not pressing any charges against her, in fact we consider the matter closed..for Ginny."

"The real problem here is Ron, his attitude and actions trouble me, he was willing to steal, willing to abuse and rape a variety of women, without any regard for their feelings or rights, he was on the death eater track, he was scheduled to get the mark, and to me that's as good as a death sentence, whether he was my mate or not." "And then there's Molly and the admission she used potions on you, Arthur, and what she was advising her children to do.. not only unethical, but a class two felony, punishable by time in Azkaban, removal of magical abilities and banishment." Both Weasley men knew the punishments for potions based enslavement, and were hard put to come up with an answer.

__o0o__

Percy spoke first. "If you look at it objectively, and not as our family members, it is a cut and dried case, they are guilty, although you have to take Ginevra's possession into consideration..without it, she probably would not have done any such thing.. I do recall she had a childish crush on yourself when she was 9 or ten, but that's something you grow out of, I recall having a crush on Diana, like a lot of boys my age..doesn't mean I was going to get her.." Percy blushed.. "I DID get to meet her after her extraction, and she was sweet, but old enough to be my mum.." They all recalled the year before when Harry and the unspeakable team had staged Diana's death so she could escape a bad marriage and her boyfriend..she was currently living in LA working as an OXFAM coordinator.

"Ronald needs a rewrite of his mind, and he needs to grow up, at least a chance to grow up. "And I am not going to back down on this one..he was willing to poison my wife and take her off for a couple months of rape and abuse without a thought. Arthur, if you will call a family council, I would appreciate it" Arthur and Percy nodded and Harry left the alcove, and went over to Shacklebolt and Tonks.

"Everything under control here?" he came up between the two. "Yes Boss, we are about to take Ronald and his mother to the ministry for questioning, and release the others.. " Percy walked by the trio toward his brother and mother. Molly wailed and tried to hug her son, but he held her off as he spoke to her. Her face fell and she sagged as she was informed of the family meeting scheduled for that night.

"Have them available for transport to the Burrow by seven, ok?" "Yes Boss" Tonks answered. Harry started to leave, but before he did, he grabbed both Auror's butts and gave them a squeeze. "Good job boys and girls" Tonks was about to pull a wand and hex him but he ported away, laughing. Shack just stiffened and his eyes got a bit wider when he felt his butt being grabbed. He didn't say anything. "I'm gonna.." Tonks began "No you're not, just let it lay, you can't win with him, I know, I tried once..I ended up on a street corner in Greenwich wearing Hermione's miniskirt and halter top..not my best memory.." Tonks eyes widened at the vision. "And don't you say anything to anyone, got it?"

She nodded and giggled.

Shack mumbled something.. "What was that?" Tonks prodded.. "And her thong"

Everyone in the Great Hall turned to watch as Auror Tonks was rolling on the floor kicking her feet and laughing..

The Hospital wing was cold and white. Ginevera Weasley lay on the gyno table, her nude body covered with a sheet. A specialist from St Mungoes hovered over the girl's middle working with a wand and speculum. "And you say you are involved in sports?" "Umm yeah, I am chaser for my house team" "Are you any good?" "Er, Yeah, I have been approached by The Ballycastle Bats and the Holyhead Harpies, and asked to try out.. neither would give any promises, but they did offer me a tryout.." This conversation kept Ginny's mind off the work being done down there.. Hermione held Ginny's hand and kept her company.

"There, all done, you are now as virginal as.. you know.." The healer grinned. "Your procedure is completely private, under the medical oaths, I cannot tell anyone what I have done or seen here, and the only ones who can access your medical record are Healers of the senior rank, such as Madam Pomfrey or Lady Potter. " Ginny was surprised at that. "Lady Potter?..Hermione?" "Oh yes.. " the healer stopped when Hermione gave a look. "I will explain later, ok Gin?" The girl assented and Hermione helped her off the table. She hunched a moment.. "That feels weird.. I can feel my maidenhead.. " "Well, it's a symbolic thing, Gin, you are going to get a new life, a new chance.. but first, you need to get dressed, you have a family meeting to go to in a few hours.."

Ginny's face fell. "I'm not gonna like this, am I?"

Hermione stopped the girl, and held her arms, looking her in the face. "You don't have anything to worry about.. Harry and I are not pressing charges, you were under the influence of Tom's possession, and cannot be held responsible.. We do not hold you responsible.. The family meeting is about Ron and Molly..they did it willingly, and that is punishable by law.."

Ginny held her head up, though tears were sliding down her face.. she could access the memories in the back of her mind, but she had to do it deliberately, she remembered Ron's conversations and his plan to get the Mark from Voldemort.. she was stunned when he had made that announcement..and stunned when she recalled her own actions toward her friends.. Hermione held the crying girl for many minutes, until she was all cried out..

The Burrow was full of young men, no wives or girlfriends. they had been relegated to their own homes for the evening.. with a promise to make it up to them later..

So you say that Mum dosed you in your 6th year and kept you under that for three years until
I was born?" Arthur nodded, "She admitted it under veritaserum.. and it takes a very well trained person to be able to lie or obfuscate under veritaserum.. I only know one person who can do that, and he's somewhat special.." Arthur sighed. "I would forgive it and forget it, but I was tested this afternoon.. I have a low level dosage of Hypnotique in my system right now.. they calculate that the last dose given to me was Sunday.. so that means, someone is trying to control me, or keep me from finding something out.. Right now I have a massive headache, and I understand this is a symptom of withdrawal" One of the twins spoke up. "The symptoms of withdrawal from hypnotique are, headache, diarrhea flatulence, and mild dizziness." we refuse to sell any of those types or class of potions in our shop." the other twin took it up. "We sell no love potions, control potions or anything that will alter a persons mind or will, without a nullifier built in, and we supply antidotes for all of our products to both St Mungos and Poppy Pomfrey free of charge..it's called being responsible businessmen"

Charlie spoke up.. "What about those 'love nuts' I saw in the shop the other day?" The twins laughed. "You oughta try one, they'll knock your socks off.. All of our love and lust potions have advertising built in, so that the recipient KNOWS what they are getting into.. you set up a 'lovenut' by first adding your essence,, actually all it takes is a tiny bit of what the muggles call DNA, hair, spit,blood, a skin flake even. and you have to add the text you want to use, you give it to the person you are trying to attract, they eat it, and they see you, surrounded by flashing lights and arrows pointing at you, while there is a banner listing your fine qualities, with every forth item 'brought to you by WWW, fine joke shops, Diagon Alley, London.." The brothers all stared at the twins.."You made a way to project visual hallucinations with text?" The monozygotic brothers nodded "It wasn't easy, but we had help from Hermione and a few Unspeakables.. and you KNOW when you've been pranked by a WWW product."

Arthur held his head in his hands. the boys quieted down and the floo popped out Ginny, supported by Harry and Hermione. Ginny came into the room and hugged her father, and then each of her brothers, and then sat down on a conjured loveseat between Harry and Hermione, just as she had earlier in the day.

"Gentlemen, earlier today, your sister, under the influence and possession of Tom Riddle, the now dead 'Dark Lord' attempted to poison both Hermione and I with amorentia, and take control of our lives.. " Ginny blushed and hung her head. Harry lifted her with a finger under her chin. "We have forgiven her and told her how we feel about her, that she's like our little sister, and in spite of a few mistakes, we still love her." More blushing as Hermione hugged her little sister. "Ginny is an innocent victim here, and I want you all to understand that fact." he sighed. "Unfortunately, the innocence stops there.. Ron is not innocent, in fact he admitted to being ready to receive Voldemort's dark mark, and the only thing stopping that was the fact I killed the bastard." Angry looks on the faces of the brothers. Arthur was just staring off into the distance.

"The penalty for using Amorentia on an unsuspecting person is such: Removal of a person's magic, removal of a person's memories of magic, incarceration in Azkaban.. " Amorentia is the potion version of an unforgivable curse, that is to say, an Imperious."

"Ron was willing to use that foul potion on Hermione", he brought up a memory:

"Why all these girls"

"Shag em"

"You want them for sex only?"

"Yeah"

"do you have any love for any of these women you mentioned?"

"Nah, just want to fuck em"

"You're a real prince"

Harry paused.." and he apparently was promised Hermione as a reward for his manipulation of myself over the years, by none other that Dumbledore, in cahoots with Molly. They were going to dose me and Hermione, set me up to be killed in the battle with Tom, and take my estates to be divided up between their little coalition.. Ron was to get Puddlemere as a present,Ginny and Molly the Potter name and money.. this is something I will not forgive."

The fact that Dumbledore gave up on the idea of manipulating me last year has not occurred to anyone yet.. it doesn't matter that Dumbledore is dead, the plan that your mother was promoting, wherever it came from is moot. Arthur is free of that potion now, Gin is free of Tom's influence, and she will heal.. The unfortunate ones are Ron and Molly, they willingly went through with this..

Bill, as oldest called a quorum of his brothers and they discussed the matter. Arthur sat staring blankly out the window. The twins got up and searched several closets and cabinets in the kitchen, finding various potion ingredients in hidden spots.. and several vials with mysterious labels..They levitated the whole mess into the center of the big table "Evidence.. these ingredients are the makings of Amorentia, and those two are sealed vials of that..stuff.. These two vials are probably Hypnotique, we would have to test it to find out.." Fred started to draw out his wand. Harry held up a hand stopping them. "Leave it for the Aurors." they nodded in assent.

"Well, I guess all we need now is the guests of honor at this little soiree"

The clock struck seven and the Floo huffed. Aurors Shacklebolt and Tonks stepped out with the cuffed and bound Ron and Molly.

Molly, the charges against you are very serious, and the sentence will be carried out. do you have anything to say for yourself?"

she stuck her nose in the air as well as any Pureblood would and said nothing.

"The charges are as such" he read them off a parchment.. the questioning at the Ministry was thorough..

"Use of a class 1 potion in the commission of a crime"

"Attempted Line Theft, against the Ancient and Noble Houses of Potter and Black"

"That was Dumbledore's idea"

"But you were the one carrying it forward, a year after his death"

"Use of Hypnotique potion to control or influence another, namely Arthur Weasley"

"Conspiracy to commit Line Theft"

"Conspiracy to commit Murder"

"support of Dark Lord Voldemort by using potions against the chosen one"

"I never supported You-know-who!!"

"If you had succeeded in your potions plot, you would have condemned the wizarding world to an immortal Dark Lord"

eyes were opened all around at the realization that Harry REALLY WAS the chosen one..and how lucky they were.

"Theft by deception, withdrawing money from Harry's vault for your own purposes four years ago.."

"We were entitled, we kept you here and fed you.."

"At the cost of ten thousand galleons a day?..I think not"

he tidied up the papers. "You will be taken before the judicial branch and sentence will be passed. This will all be kept as a secret, because the status of the Weasley clan in our society, they are a respected family, and we intend to keep it that way" Harry handed the list to Bill as the eldest son and Heir of the clan.

Harry got another list from the Aurors.

"Ronald Bilius Weasley. "

"The charges you will be sentenced for are as such:

"Use of A class 1 restricted potion on another"

"Hey, you didn't drink it"

"If a killing curse doesn't hit me, that doesn't mean the curse wasn't sent at me.."

Ron glared.

"Conspiracy to commit Line Theft against an Ancient and Noble House, both Potters and Blacks."

"Conspiracy to commit murder against the Head of an Ancient and Noble House."

"Conspiracy commit Rape and forced sexual contact between yourself and the Lady of an Ancient and Noble House.

"Theft"

"Conspiring to join a terrorist organization, namely the Death Eaters"

"use of the unforgivables"

"Conspiring to serve the Dark Lord Voldemort"

"Conspiring to take the dark mark, and those conditions of that initiation, namely commit murder"

"Ron, any of these things are punishable by execution, so consider yourself lucky when the judges show you leniency"

"Piss off"

Harry was stone faced. he spoke in a monotone.

"Ron, the only reason I don't kill you right now is the respect I have for your father and brothers...and sister. if it were not for them, I would gut you like a fish"

"You don't have the guts, your just a pussy"

growling,Harry handed his wand to Hermione and gestured. Tonks released the bonds on Ron's wrists.

Ron got up from the seat he had been placed into and rubbed his wrists he reached fro his wand, but realised it had been confiscated..

the room cleared back to the walls. Harry stood in the middle. Ron jumped, trying to get a foot behind Harry to trip him. he swung wildly, missing both times. Harry hunkered down under the wild swings and put a couple hard hits to the ginger's gut, causing him to fall back. Ron was seething, jumped and tried to grab Harry around his middle and force him into the fireplace or something solid.. Harry sidestepped like a toreador and grabbed at an arm as the taller boy flew by. He braced his feet and swung the attacker around, slamming him to the floor of the room, face down and his arm twisted behind his back, to the point of joints creaking. None of the brothers moved an inch, and were silent. The grunts and wet sounds of impact were all that was heard. Harry knelt by Ron's side.. and growled in his ear

"How much of my life was manipulated by you and your mummy, was the old Goat setting me up at King's Cross in our first year?.. have you EVER been my friend?" he panted, sweat dripping.. He took Rons head, a fistful of hair, pulled his head back. ANSWER ME YOU STUPID FUCK!"

Ron just spit and snarled, but gave no answer. Harry slammed his face into he floor a couple times to get his attention. "ARE YOU LISTENING TO ME, I'M TALKING TO YOU"

Harry got up and picked up the now semi-conscious Ron by the back of his head and threw him into a chair. Wandlessly bound him and held out his hand toward the aurors. Silently Tonks handed him her spray bottle of Interrogation mist. He squirted Ron in the face four, five times.. and then slapped him, casting a silent reenervate while he did it.

Ron drooled spit and blood, he spit out a tooth. his nose was bent. A repeat of the mornings action, without gravy.

"was there a conspiracy our first year for you to befriend me?"

"Yes". it actually came out 'yeff' because of the swelling and broken teeth.

"Who told you to do it?"

"Dumbl'

"Any one else?"

"Mum"

"How about your brothers?"

"np, cdnt trus thm "

"you couldn't trust your own brothers?"who told you that?" He looked incredulously around the shocked faces.

"mum"

"Did your mum tell you to rape Hermione?"

"No, I though of that"

"Why?"

"To show her that she wasn' so smart"

"you sound just like Malfoy"

"No"

"You sound just like one of those Dirty Slytherins you hate so much"

"umm"

"Where did the sorting hat want to put you?

"Slytherin"

"Figures"

"I owe you this for what you were thinking of doing to my wife."

Harry hit Ron with a backhand that whipped his head off to the right, more blood and drool now pouring out of the unconscious boy's mouth.

"Get that useless shite out of my face."

Tonks and Shak bundled the body up and took him through the floo to a holding facility at the Ministery, and returned minutes later.

Harry looked over the questions that had been asked of Molly. He pointed at the chair, and Molly was deposited, bound and silenced.

"It was all an act, the loving family, the open arms welcoming the 'chosen one' into your home.. you not only used me, you used and abused your own family..Molly Prewitt Weasley, what kind of person are you?"

She opened her mouth to shout at him, but silenced, they heard nothing.. He took the opportunity to squirt her four,five times, just as he had Ron. Hermione handed him his wand, he cast a spell making her slightly lethargic, and open to suggestion.

"Molly, I am going to treat you just like you were a Death Eater of the worst sort, because, as far as I can see, you are just as bad as Bellatrix or Lucius Malfoy."

She looked as if she were protesting. "Shut up until you are spoken to"

Molly clammed up.

"Besides Dumbledore, who else was in on this plot to set me up as a sacrificial lamb to Voldemort?" he un-silenced her.

"Snape.. he made the potions"

"Who else?"

"Fudge, and the toad woman"

"Really?"

"Yes"

"And how were they stealing my money?"

"A goblin"

"This goblin have a name?"

"Griphook"

"What did Griphook do?"

"Stole the money from your vaults and transfer it to mine and Dumbledores..

"Why did Dumbledore steal my money?

"he said you would never need it."

"Whose idea was it to use Hypnotique of Arthur"

"Mine.. "

"Did you ever love him or was that all just a plot?"

"I liked him well enough."

"Enough to use Amorentia on him"

"Yes"

"Who gave you the idea to use Amorentia on Arthur"

"Dumbledore"

"So he was playing games back them also"

"yes"

"What reason do you have for trying to steal my family birthright?"

"You're a halfblood, I'm a pureblood, I deserve it more than you"

"You really believe that shite"

"Yes"

"What do you think of Ron' plans to rape Hermione?"

"He's entitled, she's a mudblood"

"I don't believe you said that.."

Hermione didn't believe it either, she stepped up and backhanded Molly across the face the same as Harry had Ron.

"
You are a horrible, disgusting person, and I hope you rot in hell"

"mudblood slut"

Harry silenced Molly and took Hermione's hand and led her away from the witness. "Don't worry, justice will be served, right now we need to find any and all associated suspects.. we want no hidden cancers, right?"

She sighed and dipped her head into Harry's shoulder.. "You're right. get everything you can from her.. I am going over there with Tonks.." she looked at the pink haired Auror standing over by the wall.

Harry continued to pry information out of Molly, and was fed several questions from her sons, on Arthur's behalf.. Arthur just sat and stared out the window, a tear running down his cheek. Harry hated to do this, but it was necessary.

Tonks and Hermione were stranding over against the wall, watching the disintegration of the Weasley clan, Ginny was curled up on Bill and Charlie's lap, The twins were taking notes, and
Percy was standing with his father, giving him support.

"So, Hermione, I understand that Shack and Harry got into it and somehow Shack ended up wearing your clothes..?...hmmm?"

Chapter 1 of Bring to Order.. The next chapter we go back in time, just a bit, to figure out how it is we got here..
