After a while of reconnecting and after Harry had explained what had happened over the summer, he kind of lost it.

He started shouting at the other three about how he had been left in the dark, and blah blah blah.

He was saying things like how it was him who protected the philosopher's stone, and how he had faced Riddle and the basilisk, and how he had faced Voldemort in the graveyard.

After a few minutes of Harry shouting at them, (Y/n) slapped him.

"Stop being such a jackass! You weren't the only one there you know! And when you were you wouldn't have gotten there without our help!" He pointed around to himself, Ron and Hermione.

(Y/n) then walked out of the room leaving Harry standing there speechless.

He went a sat in an empty room for a while. "Where does he get off?! He makes it sound like he's the only one Voldemort has ever hurt."  He thought to himself.

(Y/n) sat in the room for a while skulking before Moody opened the door.

"Ah there you are. Come on boy dinners ready" Moody grunted to him.

"I knew you cared about me Moody Moo" (Y/n) said, quickly jumping up and pulling him into a hug.

Moody stood there taken by surprised. "Oh come on Moody, this can't be the first time someone's hugged you" (Y/n) said letting him go.

Moody just grunted. (Y/n) laughed and followed him down the stairs and to the kitchen.

The dinner was lovely, like all meals that Mrs Weasley made. Afterwards they got into a bit of an argument about the Order.

Harry wanted to know what was going on, and Sirius agreed with him, but Mrs Weasley thought that he was too young.

After a bit of arguing Lupin finally got Mrs Weasley to agree and he started to explain.

They didn't tell them much just some stuff about a weapon, something that Voldemort wanted.

Mrs. Weasley then ordered them to bed, and that was that. They hadn't exactly told them much of anything, nothing concrete anyway.

After that life was fairly dull in Grimmauld place. They would do anything they could to pass the time.

(Y/n)'s dad would appear every now and then to see how he was.

"I get so excited every time I come and see the House isn't up in flames" his dad would often say.

(Y/n) and Hermione also spent a fair bit of time with each other in one of the spare rooms. They would spend time just talking with each, along with other more fun things ;)

Usually they would spend most of the days reading together. They read a lot of books about magic and what not, along with some muggle books that Hermione had brought with her.

They had made a habit of reenacting different scenes from Shakespeare's works, even pulling Harry and Ron in a few times, much to their annoyance, and even Moody once.

"What's wrong with that idiot" Moody growled.

"Oh come on Moody he's in love!" (Y/n) said to him.

"Well so what he shouldn't have gotten in the middle of a duel" Moody said.

"Just read the lines so we can go" Ron moaned.

"No look at this I wouldn't have been stabbed, I would've seen it coming" Moody argued.

"But you're not yourself, you're suppose to be Mercutio" Hermione reasoned with him.

"Doesn't matter I still wouldn't have been stabbed with a sword like that" Moody said.

"Just read it Mad eye" Harry said getting a bit annoyed.

"No it doesn't make sense, and look here" he said grabbing the book and flipping to the beginning.

"Not this again" Ron moaned and he slumped down into a chair.

"Why would This Romeo fall in love at first sight, he doesn't even know this" he looked down at the book with his magical eye. "This Juliet, for all he knows she could be trying to kill him"

"It's a love story Moody! Love at first sight!" (Y/n) said to him.

"Constant vigilance, he should've learnt about her, find out who she was and what she wanted, she probably had an ulterior motive!"

"It's a story Moody! You don't have to analyze everything single think, it's just a story, and a love story at that!"   

"It's stupid is what it is. And so is this Romeo, he got his friend killed! If he had just kept out of this none of this would have happened" he growled.

"Just read the bloody line!" Ron said "You die in this scene anyway, then you can go!"

"This is the last time we get him to help" (Y/n) whispered to Hermione. "Next time can we just get Tonks?"

In the end they managed to get Moody to read his lines and finally die, although not without protest.

Soon it was the day of Harry's trial. "You'll do fine mate" Ron said to him.

"Yeah, But if you do lose can I have your chocolate frog collection?" (Y/n) said to him. Hermione elbowed him in the ribs.

"Ow I was only joking Hermione." He said rubbing his side.

"If anything goes south I've always found that fire can get me out of a lot of sticky situations" (Y/n) told Harry with a wink.

"Don't worry Harry the laws on your side" Hermione said to him.

They spent that day sitting around waiting for Harry to return.

"You do think he'll get off?" Hermione asked (Y/n), her head on his shoulder.

"Course he will Hermione, he's the golden boy" (Y/n) said to her.

She frowned at him. "Still I can't help but worry"

"Me too Hermione" (Y/n) said kissing the top of her head. "But Harry's a big boy he'll get out of this"

"Do you think Dumbledore will help?"

"Of course he will Hermione, Harry's is Dumbledore's special boy, I'm pretty sure he'd do anything him. You I even think he'd leave his position as headmaster to help Harry" said (Y/n) with a laugh.

There was a commotion in the kitchen downstairs, and Hermione and (Y/n) jumped up quickly and ran down to see what was happening.

"He got off. He got off" Fred George and Ginny chanted as they entered the kitchen.

"I knew you would Harry!" Hermione said running over to him and hugging him.

"So how much of the Ministry did you have to burn down?"  (Y/n) asked him pulling him into a hug.
