Chap1: The Gift of a Father
Harry sat in silence, fingering the wand which Ron had given to him. After trying to do any hexes or curses, he had concluded that this wand was useless. Maybe it would become useful when they need some firewood.
Ron and Hermione must have been sleeping. Taking the last watch always had an advantage so he was not bothered.
Looking at the sky, it was not snowy. Harry could see only a single star twinkling solely in the dark sky.
He shouldn't have that feeling. Ron was back. They had once again become the trio. Hermione had forgiven Ron. Harry, who was their best friend was certainly the happiest, wasn't he?
Yes and no. He was happy when Ron had backed out. However, he didn't understand when Ron succeeded in rebuilding the relationship between him and Hermione.
Harry thought that seeing them would have made him miss Ginny. He was not entirely sure because Ginny had not had a place in his mind for long time. He didn't want to think about this anymore.
Instead of Ginny, it was always a beautiful girl with brown bushy hair who always appeared in his dreams. Just only few days ago, he realized that when he started thinking, his first question always was "What would Hermione think if I did it?"
"Am I falling in love with Hermione? Yes? No?."
I his sixth-year, he was jealous when Ginny kissed Dean. This was love, absolutely. So what about the feeling that he was lost all of happiness when Hermione started acting normally with Ron? "Twelve Fail-Safe Ways to Charm Witches" was a stupid book.
Stop it Harry! You have Ginny. Hermione is one of your best friends. She is your best friend's girlfriend, too. Deleting all the thought you had with her, it wasn't real. You just love her as sister, nothing more.
Sister! Harry had a bitter smile. He buried his face in his hand.
"Six years, you had six years to live with your treasure, didn't you? And what did you do for her? You always ran stupidly girl to girl while you were too foolish to realize who was always next to you. Now, she belongs to someone else. It's your fault. Now, you have to pay for what you have done."
He didn't know since when, but tears were falling in drops to his hands. Suddenly, he saw some streaks were lighting, his picture which had been taken when he was a kid. He'd found it when they were at 12 Grimmauld Place. He had used it to cheer himself up in the past few days. Holding the picture and imagining himself as a kid was the best way to forget a wizard with brown bushy hair. But the picture was lighting. Slowly, some words appeared – "James Potter". Harry put the picture in his hands, despite the fact they were full of tears. The letters appeared clearly after a moment.
"My dear son,
Your mom told me that I was strange because I used this picture as your birthday gift. I believed that the secret which I should show you now was amazing. This was the best thing I could find on the trip around Europe with your mom. She didn't like it. She forced me to choose between family and 'that cursed thing,' and of course I chose family but I still kept it because I thought that it would be useful for you. I had to write to you secretly because your mom would hex me if she knew.
The map on the back.
Happy birthday to you whether your birthday or not!
P/S: When you read it, I know that you are depressing deeply. Remember: Still alive, so there is still hope
Your dad,
James Potter.
Harry read the letter slowly. It was good to receive the letter from his father. Suddenly, Harry stood up and walked to the tent. "I must let Hermione see this."
Wait! Harry suddenly remembered. She was sleeping because she had stayed up very late to take the first watch shift. Waking her up now would be a big mistake.
So he stopped. From outside, he could see Ron and Hermione's hands were inches from each other. "Happy people, even in dreams they still want to be together." He sighed under his breath. The happy moment of finding the picture was lost.
Backed to his seat, looking at the back of the picture, He saw short note. "Dig up the whole garden, you could find it that way. Or just accio for the book."
Book! From what he knew about his dad, he wasn't likely to send a book as a gift. It seemed suit with Hermione better. No! Now was not the time to think about her. His mom didn't like that book much, but his dad had enjoyed it. Maybe, that book was very interesting. But it also could be a bit dangerous. Harry stood a little straighter. He would go back to Godric's Hallow. He had escaped from there once, and Voldemort could not think that he'd dare to go back.
Should he tell Ron and Hermione to go with him? He remembered what Moody had said, that Voldemort wanted to kill him, so anyone caught with him were in terrible danger. Harry froze as he remembered fourth-year. Cedric would not have dead if he had not been with him. If Ron or Hermione… no. He couldn't let them die because of him.
After thinking, he used his wand to write some words for them "I have to do something, might be urgent. I should be back soon, don't worry!" Harry went back into the tent, and took the Deluminator, leaving the Invisibility Cloak. He walked out the tent after taking one last look at his best friends. He stepped out the protection circle.
oOo
Ron absolutely hated being waken up early. But this morning he could not keep sleeping because of the scream- no- the roar of the monster. No, one of his best friends. Specifically, his girlfriend.
"Ron! Wake up now!" Hermione cried. "Oh Harry! You're an idiot!"
"Waking up! Grab the wand!" What an interesting day! Hermione had called Harry to be an idiot. He sat up and saw Hermione standing near a fire. Her face was white, looking scared.
"What's wrong?"
"Harry left. Merlin, where can he be now?"
"But, Hermi…" Ron tried to calm her, but she didn't let him finish. She kept screaming words to herself.
"No wand! Harry, you idiot, no wand! There are Death Eaters trying to kill him. If he wanted to die, just say the word and I shall make it less painful. Ron!"
He started at her voice. She seemed notice his existence.
"Bring me your Deluminator! We will use it to apparate. We might be lucky and find him before he is brought to Vol….".
"Hermione!" Ron warned. "That name…"
"I don't have time to worry about it," she snapped in reply. "Find the Deluminator quickly."
Looking at her face, Ron knew that he had better do as she said. He ran into the tent. When he came out, Hermione was running out of any bit of calm she might have still had.
"Ron! What took you so long? Give me it!"
"But," Ron was a bit hesitant to admit, "it's not here."
"What? What did you say?" Hermione had a desperate look in her eyes.
"Harry took it and left this," Ron handed her the invisibility cloak.
Hermione's face fell. "You're idiot, Harry," she repeated more softly, looking stricken.
oOo
In Godric's Hollow, a boy with jet black hair tried to hide himself from sight. Suddenly, he started at the thought that Hermione would go crazy when she saw his disappearance. "I should wear something like armor when I back," he muttered, a light chuckle springing from his throat.
Harry saw his house. It was still as he had seen it last time, mostly rubble. He felt sad. Suddenly, he moved his hand

as if trying to hold someone elses. "She's with Ron, now. She's not here," he said to himself harshly.
He murmured, "Accio book." Something heavy and big crashed into his bottom, making him hit the ground. After he got over his surprise, he saw a big pack on the ground.
He unwrapped it quickly. In front of him was a very big, very thick book. The cover was bright scarlet. It was new looking. Nothing could show that it was old. "The story of my life, Goblin's tales," Harry murmured. He sat on the ground and opened the book. A small piece of old parchment with his dad's writing on it fell out.
"Focus on the book, which I promise is very interesting. I think that you should start at chapter 11. There is nothing in the first 10 chapters. Believe me because I chewed and swallowed it. I'll tell you a suitable place to read it. There is a cave not far from here. The entrance is small but you should fit.
Follow the map and you should find it. Have fun, my son!
James Potter
His curiosity made him open the book immediately. His dad was very interested in this book so it must have been lots of amazing things. But… Hermione would have been unhappy if he read it here. He agreed with that. Reading in the "sensitive" place like that was dangerous.
After following the map for 2 hours, he found the cave. It was difficult to locate, nothing but a small entrance that had lots of charms placed on it. Without instructions on the map, all he might have seen was nothing but a pile of rocks. The cave, once entered, was large. There was a small lake with lots of fish inside. The roof of the cave was a giant hole. It seemed like he was in an old, dormant volcano. Harry regretted not bringing Ron and Hermione here. This cave was better than outside.
"I hope you're okay," he murmured to himself. He sat still for a moment, thinking, before he opened the book.
Harry looked at the content. He did not believe his dad completely. Maybe he could read the other chapters. From chapter 1 to chapter 10 was written about the goblin whose name is Hagrid-beard. But the chapter 11 had another title, "Essence of Magic" and chapter 12, "Wand Usefulness" and last chapter "Natural, Strength of Power".
It seemed there were no lies in his dad's letter. Studying of the life of the goblin did not attract him much. Hermione would be frenzied if he gave it to her. I hope she will not hit me, Harry thought and started reading the first page of chapter 10.
So! What do you think? Sorry if there are any mistakes in grammar or wordings. Review me if you like. Thanks to all of you. Love all Harmonians.
