Harry Potter and What Happened After - Sahits

Chapter 34
Once they got to the Burrow Harry, Ginny, Ron and Hermione were immediately forced into chairs at
the dinner table and served huge plates of food. "So guys, how is the school year going. With out dark
lords to fight, you must be pretty bored," said Mr. Weasley jokingly
Harry looked at his friends, wondering if he should tell the Weasleys about the odd behavior of the
school stairs and the ominous conversations they had overheard. He could see in his friends' eyes that
they were wondering the same thing, and he could also see that Hermione was the first to come to a
decision.
"No," she said, "this year has been anything but boring. The classes are hard, and the new teachers are
great."
"Yeah, who'd have thought Americans could be such fun," Harry quickly added.
Harry saw Ron turn towards him, "you know, I've got to say, this year has been kind of mundane, there
are no evil wizards hunting us, we don't have a crazy teacher, and there isn't some odd threat to our
lives," Ron said boldly.
"Yeah, you may call it mundane or normal, but I call it boring," said Ginny, "I liked it when there was
excitement; I like the danger, the unknown."
"Oh, you like not knowing if you or your loved ones were going to be alive tomorrow?" asked Percy
"No, I hated that fear, but I liked it at the same time." Ginny's eyes seemed to be gazing not at the wall,
but through it, into a distant past. "It allowed me to live like everyday was the last day of my existence;
it taught me how to love," she squeezed Harry's hand, "and how to fear. It taught me how to be brave,
and how to be scared."
Suddenly the door opened and in walked George and Angelina. "Hey all," George said as the door
closed, "how is my loving family?"
A chorus of 'fine' went around the table. Harry, Ginny, Ron and Hermione all gave George an odd look,
he was beaming from ear to ear, and his rosy skin seemed to be alight with happiness. Angelina, also
smiling, but not as manically, seemed to be absolutely glowing; she was standing next to George,
holding loosely to his arm.
"Hey guys" said Harry as the couple sat down, "how are the wedding plans coming?"
"Good," said Angelina, "we have two weeks left and I've only panicked a few times." She let off a short
laugh that could only be a laugh of somebody on the edge of cracking up, and not in the good way.
"Believe me, you'll have plenty of time to panic in the next few weeks, and even more after you are
married," said Fleur.
"Thanks, that sounds great." said Angelina sarcastically, she rested her chin in her hands and heaved a
heavy sigh.
"Don't worry dear," said Mrs. Weasley, always the reassuring mother, "every thing will work out fine, it
always does."
Angelina seemed to calm down a bit after this and the rest of dinner went by like any other dinner in
the Weasley house, loud, exciting and tasty. By the time Dinner was over Harry didn't think he could
move he was so full.
"So, I hear we're celebrating Christmas as your house this year Harry," said Angelina as Mrs. Weasley
