Harry Potter and What Happened After - Sahits

Chapter 19
Harry took Ginny in his arms and held her in a tight embrace, and then he concentrated on his
destination and turned into nothing. After a very short time, during which Harry and Ginny felt like
they were being squeezed through a small rubber tube, Harry felt the two of them land in the main
street of Hogsmead.
Harry was assaulted with a quick flashback to the night nearly a year ago when he and Dumbledore had
apparated to the same spot after going to find the third Horocrux. A moment after that horrible
flashback another came, this one from only two months ago when he Ron and Hermione had apparated
to the same spot just before the final battle.
Ginny looked up at Harry after a few seconds, "Harry is something wrong?" she asked, she sounded
concerned.
"No, nothing is wrong my love," he said, "I'm just remembering." He released her from his embrace
and whispered in her ear, "Lead the way."
Ginny smiled up at him and took his hand. She started down a side street that was familiar to Harry;
again he was assaulted with memories of that night nearly two months ago when He, Ron and
Hermione had come here.
"Gin, we aren't going to the Hog's Head are we?" he asked, not really sure how he would feel if she
said yes.
"Not exactly," she said, and upon seeing the puzzled look on his face she continued, "You'll see."
A few minuets later Harry did see. They arrived at the same place that the Hog's Head bar should have
been but instead the sign above the door said, The Final Battle Bar and Restaurant. "Gin, what is this
place, what happened to the Hog's Head?"
"Aberforth apparently upgraded after the battle," Ginny said as they approached the door. "Mum told
me about this place last week when I was talking to her about what I wanted to do for your birthday.
She said that Aberforth decided to make this place a tribute to his brother and the final battle." Ginny
suddenly gasped as she opened the door and walked in.
Harry stared open mouthed at the interior of the restaurant. The walls were solid wood, and were
covered in portraits of the people who had lost their lives during the final battle. In the back of the
room was the original bar from the Hog's Head, and above that were two portraits, one containing a
picture of Albus Dumbledore, and the second the portrait of Ariana Dumbledore that had previously
hung in Aberforth's room.
Just to the right of the door was a lectern, behind which stood Aberforth, "Hello," he said as they
walked in, a large smile on his face. As he realized who they were the smile got even larger, "ah, Mr.
Potter, Mrs. Weasley, I've been expecting you. Your table is right this way, please follow me." He
picked up two menus from under the lectern and lead them to a far corner of the room. He put them at a
table over which hung the portrait of none other than Fred Weasley.
When Harry saw this he quickly looked over to Ginny to gauge her reaction. To his surprise she was
smiling.
"Hey Fred," she said as they sat down.
"Hey little sis," said Fred's portrait, "so you and Harry here on a date?"
"Yes," said Harry as he took the menus from Aberforth, "as a matter of fact we are. Ginny decided to
