Chapter 21:
They landed square foot in front of Number 12 Grimmanld place. Ginny squeezed his hand and gave him a slight smile before entering the house. Harry followed a moment later.

Ginny was already placing her purse on the counter and placing her hair in a pony tail.

"Well I'm beat. I'm off to bed", she sighed.

She left into their bedroom and out of sight.

Harry followed after taking a large gulp of water from the kitchen.

He pasted Sirius's bedroom before entering his. He had left it untouched but sometimes he liked to pass by just for memories. He finally made his way to his bedroom where Ginny had already tucked herself in to sleep.

Harry changed and did the same thing as her. He hadn't realized how tired he was until he laid in bed. His eyes closed with no effort and he stumbled into a deep sleep. **

The next morning Harry woke to Ginny still sleeping next to him. He placed his glasses on and checked the clock next to him. It was almost 10 o'clock. He silently slipped out of bed making sure not to wake Ginny beside him.

He didn't really have an owl to send a message to Hermione to see how Ginny was doing so he just used the muggle way and called her.

Hermione had always made sure she kept a cell phone on her to communicate with her parents now in Australia. She picked up after a few rings.

"Hi Harry is everything okay?", she asked. "Yeah everything is fine, just asking about Ron. How is he?", Harry asked. Hermione's tone seemed to lighten a bit, "He's doing better. He woke up about an hour ago. He was complaining about the horrible food choices here so that's always better to see he has his appetite back". "That's great." Harry sighed in relief. "Yeah but I should get going Ron might be up any minute", Hermione stated. "Ok call me later", Harry said.

He than hung up the phone.

Harry looked at the clock. It was half past ten. Harry decided to just let Ginny keep sleeping. He grabbed his wand off the counter and left to go for a walk. With everything that was happening right now he just wanted to clear his head.

He scribbled a note to Ginny just incase she woke and he wasn't there.

It was a beautiful Saturday morning and the birds chirped as Harry walked by. He walked around not even knowing where he was going just to clear his head. He walked around for maybe an hour before he decided to go back.

He was on the steps of the house when he heard a shriek on the inside. He burst open the door and ran to the sound of the scream.

"Ginny?", Harry called out. He saw her in the kitchen broken plates surrounding her. He hurried over and followed her gaze.

"Kreacher?", Harry asked.

The old house-elf looked up at him, "master Harry, always a pleasure to see you", he bowed.

"Kreacher what are you doing here?".

He raised his head from the bow, "Kreacher has come to tell Master Harry that he is needed at hogwarts".

Harry looked over at Ginny before looking back at Kreacher, "For what?".

"Kreacher doesn't know, Master, only that your services are needed. They said it was important". Harry looked over at Ginny. She nodded her head goving him the ok.

"It's okay Harry go ahead I'm going to go back to St. Mungos to check on Ron". Harry smiled, "thank you, I'll be back soon".

He took Kreachers hand, "let's go".

The last thing Harry saw was Ginny smiling at him as he apperated away.

They landed right in front of the Gryfindor common room.

The fat lady smiled when she saw him, "Harry Potter quite some time since I have seen you". "Same to you", Harry smiled back.

Kreacher looked up at Harry, " professor is waiting for you inside Master Harry", he croaked. Harry looked around confused, "wait what professor?", he asked but Kreacher had already apperated away.

The fat lady swung open the portrait door and Harry entered. It was surprisingly empty but than Harry realized it was spring holidays. Professor Mcgoagnall surprised Harry she appeared out of her cat form into her usual self. She smiled once she saw him, "Harry, long time since we have seen each other". He smiled back but he couldn't hide the bit of suspicion he had for his being here, "that's true. How have you been Professor?". "Oh I've been good but it must give Dumbledore some credit, this is a harder job than it seems", Professor Mcgoagnall said. "I could only imagine", Harry replied back.

She smiled, "well Harry I bet you are wondering why I have summoned you here".

Harry nodded, "yes just a bit". "Well it's nothing bad or scary I just wanted to know if you could come by our defense against the dark arts classes once and a while. It would be an honer to have you speak to the kids and teach the some lessons", she smiled hopefully at him.

His heart suddenly filled with delight, "Yes of course I would love to", he beamed. She smiled back at him, "Great! That's wonderful now the spring holidays are over tomorrow being Saturday so I'll send you an owl letting you know when you could come".

Harry felt very honered his heart filled with joy, "Yes that would be great. I will be waiting", he smiled back. "Good thank you Harry this would mean a lot to the students here.", she smiled, "but you better get going. Tell Ron I hope he feels better".

Harry looked at her, "how did you know he was at the hospital?".

"News travels quite fast around here". Harry nodded in understanding, "well your right I better go to him". Professor Mcgoagnall smiled and signaled that he was exused.

Harry exited, said his farewell to the Fat Lady and summoned Kreacher.

He poped out of the thin air with a pot in his hand.

"Master Harry is ready to go home?", he asked, his raspy voice echoing in the empty halls. "Yes thank you Kreacher but I would like you to take me to St. Mungos please", Harry ordered. Kreacher bowed, "of course Kreacher will take you Master".

He than grabbed a hold of Harry's hand and apperated out of Hogwarts.

They landed in front of the familiar walls of St. Mungos hospital.

"Anything else Master?", Kreacher asked automatically. "No it's okay you may go back to your duties", Harry assured him.

The little creature nodded and disappeared. Harry entered through the doors and went to the lady at the from desk.

"I'm here to see Ron Weasley", he stated.

"Of course", she handed him a visitor patch and Harry walked on.

He went the long trek to Ron's room before finally getting there. The whole crew was there.

Hermione by Ron's side reading a magazine. Mr. Weasley talking to Bill in the corner apparently engaged in a deep conversation. Fleur was with Mrs. Weasley talking over a sowing magazine. George was not there but Percy had showed up. He have Harry a slight nod when he walked in and Harry returned it. Ginny was in the corner playing with her braclet. Her eyes lit up when she saw Harry. She rushed over to him and gave him a hug.

"So what did they want at Hogwarts?", she asked him. "Later", he whispered in response. He didn't want to create all the talk about him with Ron in the room. That was their main priority.
