Ron pov
I was pretty worried about Harry but there's not much you can do when he sets his mind to something .we all walked outside when something just hit me. "Harry how are we going to get to London?" he froze in his tracks.
"well when I was planning on going on my own I had a way to get there but I don't know how to get all of you there." He said.
"how were you planning on getting yourself there?" Ginny asked.
"Doesn't matter. We'll need to figure out another way." He said.
"I think I know a way." We all turned and looked at Luna.
Harry smiled"really?"
~thirty minutes later~
"bloody heeeeeeeeell!" we were currently flying over London on our way to the ministry of magic. Luna had had the idea to fly on the thestrals. Well I did not like it one bit.
Unlike Luna, Neville, and Harry I was not able to see them. Then again I'm not sure I wanted to. Neville had seen his grandfather die and Luna her mom but Harry... when we all first walked into the forest and saw them Harry just stared at the things. I asked Luna what they were like.
She had answered me sadly "when I see the thestrals I always have flash backs of my mother's death." Neville said the same kind of thing. When you see a thestrals you are reminded of the deaths you have witnessed.
Well for Harry that was not a good thing. I know he saw Cedric die but I also know that he had seen a lot of people die this summer. Obviously he never outright said it but ever sense he came back I could tell he was off. The same kind of off as last year after the tri-wizard tournament.
Once we got into the air however Harry's mood completely changed. He was downright giddy! He had the biggest grin I had seen sense he had come back.
"oh it's so good to fly again!" he yelled to me over the wind.
Hermione scowled "Harry you play quiditch."
He shrugged his shoulders and laughed "it's just not the same!" before I could ask him what in the world he was talking about he made his thestrals loopy loop over us. Without even touching the thing Harry had some kind of bond with it. Almost as if Harry and it were communicating in some unspoken language.
I on the other hand was not having fun at all! I love flying on a broom don't get me wrong but I can see a broom. I can't see these things. Neville Luna Ginny Hermione and I all flew in a clump. Hermione and I being right next to each other. Harry on the other hand... well he was enjoying himself let's put it that way.
He was all over the place. It made me glad to see my friend this happy. Although while Hermione and I flew we talked about everything that has happened.
Hermione told me about everything that happened in the forest. "So wait Harry outright admitted that he was a mutant?"
Hermione sighed "sort of. But what I'm more curious about is what is this secret that Umbridge said that Harry hadn't told us? I mean you should have seen his face. Umbridge said something like "you're a freak and you know it. Or else why haven't you told your friends your little secrete yet? Cause you know that they'll never except you." Ron he was so freaked out when she said that. In fact he was downright terrified."
I shook my head "what secrete would scare him enough to think that we wouldn't except him?"
Hermione had an idea "that's it/1 Ron do you remember what Harry said to us on Christmas?" I shook my head "when he gave that feather he said that it was a reminder for him that no matter what we would always accept him."
"I do ember that now. But do you remember what that Eraser thing said to him when he tore it out of your hair? He said that Harry must really care for you to give you one of those."
Hermione pondered that and brought something out of her pocket. It was the feather. I gave her a questioning glance. "While Harry was in the room with the professors I pried it out of the grip of that eraser thing. It's so boatful I couldn't bear to lose it." She held it up to the sunlight and it sparkled. Hermione hand it to me and I almost dropped it in shock.
"its freezing!" I said.
She nodded "just like Harry..." those words hung in the air as she took the feather back from me.
"he must have charmed it or something" I said.
Hermione shrugged her shoulders. Then out of nowhere Harry came up beside us. "We'll be at the Ministry in five minutes." Then he took off again.
I looked over at Hermione. "it is good to see him this happy though. Even with Sirius being kidnapped."
She looked up at Harry as he zinged and sagged around "I know what you mean. He's just been so distant. Like he is here but at the same time he's not." I nodded in agreement.
