best friends

chapter 5- dream.

Its 11am and i woke up being on rons chest. I smiled a little sitting up harry people already talking downstairs.

"Hey before we go down there just know the twin fred..he passed away during the war before you came and its a really touchy subject to my mom and george."

"Okay.."

Ron takes my hand walking downstairs into the kitchen.

20 minutes later molly and george were arguing back and forth about freds death. I try to tell them that Fred isn't gone, but they don't believe me. I tell them he's at Georges and Ron's shop- you know Ron joined George running Weasley's Wizarding Wheezes after Fred's death; it makes them both feel better. Fred is everywhere we are. He's even at this table right now laughing with everyone. Of course you can't see him if you're not looking for him, but I know that some of us can see him. Harry can see him. Harry sees Fred and Remus Lupin and Nymphadora Tonks and Sirius Black and Albus Dumbledore and even his parents eating dinner with us. Harry understands.

Harry didn't always understand the dead-after Sirius Black travelled through the veil in the Death Chamber of the Department of Mysteries he was very upset, he didn't understand that Sirius wasn't gone. But now he knows. I can see that he knows his family and his mentors are always there with him, whether alive or dead. He is a lot happier now.

Mrs. Weasley bustled around the table, torn between helping Bill and Fleur coo over the baby, forcing Harry to eat more, and making sure all the plates are full. She smiled, but I know that she's still very sad about Fred, and even Nymphadora and Remus. She liked Nymphadora a lot. She tries to hide her sadness for the good of the family, though. Mrs. Weasley is very strong.

Charlie was talking to Mr. Weasley about something in the Daily Prophet- honestly I don't understand the continued desire to read the Daily Prophet. They've been telling lies for years, they hated Harry and Dumbledore, they were run by the Death Eaters, and now that the war is over the Weasleys have all gone back to reading it as though nothing has happened. Daddy's been saying the Prophet's tripe for years, and I agree with him.

George is talking to Ginny and Harry- something about the latest Quidditch match between the Tutshill Tornadoes and the Holyhead Harpies. Ginny told me about those teams. She hates the Tornadoes she says because they always win, but I think it's because she doesn't like Cho Chang. Cho Chang always loved the Tornadoes- whenever Quidditch would come up in conversation in the Ravenclaw common room she was always there, breaking off from her giggling friends to fiercely support the Tornadoes. Ginny doesn't like Cho Chang, though she never says it. She was very upset during our fourth year when Harry dated Cho, and when they broke up Ginny could tell that Cho still had feelings for him. I'm glad Harry didn't stay with Cho, he was never really happy with her. Plus, of course, her father is part of the Whooping Plot to give all the owls in Britain whooping coughs so none of us can get our mail. It would be better if Harry stayed away from Cho and her father. And Ginny is much better for Harry. I do love them both together.

Ginny tried out for a bunch of Quidditch teams this summer and the Holyhead Harpies might accept her on their reserve team. Ginny is very good at Quidditch, I know that she will be very successful. I commentated one of her games at Hogwarts once. And Ginny loves the Holyhead Harpies, she has posters of them in her room and she often talks about them.

Like today as she sat next to Harry and across from George her face was lit up and blazing; she looked so proud and adamant. I do love Ginny. Harry was looking at her too- I can tell he was trying to stay with the conversation but he kept looking at Ginny's flushed face and I know that he was just thinking about how beautiful she is and how lucky he is to have her. Harry always seems surprised to have good things in his life- he never had the when he was with his aunt and uncle, they treated him horribly. And then even during Hogwarts he was fighting for his life and watching his friends die- He is immeasurably grateful for any piece of normal happiness he has in the world.
