Harry Potter and What Happened After - Sahits

Chapter 18
For the next two months the four friends kept busy. Since they were mobbed whenever they were in
public, they kept mostly to themselves. They went over to the Lovegood's rebuilt house a few times so
that Mr. Lovegood could interview them for his books. After Mr. Lovegood showed the friends the first
drafts, only four weeks after he started, they all had to admit that the books would be nothing if not
truthful.
Harry and Ginny visited Teddy and Mrs. Tonks at least 3 times a week, and Teddy seemed to be
bonding with Harry quite well. Whenever Harry came over, Teddy would change his hair to match
Harry's. Harry tried to be the godfather that Sirius hadn't been.
Through all of this Harry still couldn't quite shake the feeling that something was wrong. Charley, who
had been helping rebuild Hogwarts, had been coming home on the weekends exhausted. He and his
parents would spend a few hours alone in the living room, and if Harry, Ron, Hermione or Ginny stuck
there head in they would immediately stop talking until they left. Ginny suggested using extendible
ears, but Ron said that George had taken his whole stock to the shop. They eventually gave up and
decided that it was of no consequence. But Harry still had the nagging feeling, in the back of his mind,
that something was wrong.
One morning, Harry woke up and took a deep breath, expecting the usual smell of flowers that he
always received. He was surprised however when he found that Ginny wasn't in bed with him. He
knew that they had gone to sleep together, but it seemed that at some point during the night she had
left. Looking around Harry found a note from Ginny sitting on the bedside table.
Harry,
Sorry for frightening you, but I promised mum that I'd help with your birthday breakfast. I'm sure that
you've forgotten that today is your birthday, but you're the only one. So get dressed and come
downstairs.
Ginny
Harry couldn't believe that he had somehow forgotten his birthday. He quickly got dressed and went
downstairs. When he arrived in the kitchen, he found everybody at the kitchen table, all of them eating.
In the middle of the table was a small pile of presents.
Ginny smiled up at him from her chair, "Hey, sleepy head, nice to see you."
As he sat down Mrs. Weasley put a large plate down in front of Harry; it was piled high with eggs,
bacon and toast. "Go on, open your presents dear," she smiled at him as she spoke.
Harry smiled as he looked around the table, it was nice to be back here, with the people who cared
about him. He reached for the first present; it was from Ron and Hermione. He tore of the rapping
paper, which was decorated with little golden snitches, to find a set of books titled, Advanced
Defensive Theory: Advanced Defensive and Offensive Magic for the Advanced Wizard.
"Thanks. This will help when it comes time for me to start as an Auror," Harry said. Hermione and Ron
just smiled.
The next present was wrapped in simple black paper, and was from George and Angelina, both of
whom were absent. Harry tore off the paper to reveal a set of three simple black robes, he wasn't sure
what to say until he noticed the note that was attached.
Harry,
