Hey guys, sorry it took me a couple of days and thanks for being amazing readers as always!!! This chapter is kind of dealing with inner problems but a action chapter is coming next, I promise... Please tell me what you think about this one.
Chapter 17
The day that Harry came backwith James nothing happened to upset them or to ruin their happiness. Almost every member of the Weasley family came by the Potter residence and they were all pretty thrilled that the boy was back. Mrs. Weasley and Roxanne just couldn't get enough of him just like his mum couldn't and he spend most of his day next to one of them, since they weren't leaving him from their eyes. He didn't mind though.
He didn't mind being the centre of attention and he didn't mind the excess of affection he was getting from everyone. It felt right to be back home, back with the people he knew that will never hurt him and that will always care for him, back with his family. It felt like a dream; or rather everything that had happened felt like a nightmare.
He couldn't eat properly, since the wounds on his hands didn't allow him to hold a fork or a knife. Teddy had looked at them and said that it wouldn't be healthy just to make them disappear with a spell; he could get an infection. So, he gave him an ointment, that would heal the cut by time; same with the cuts on his torso. James though resented that and not just because everyone got all sympathetic and sorry when they'd see thw scars.
Those wounds reminded him of everything. They were like a chain around him that drew him back there, to that castle, away from this dream. The truth was though that he couldn't remember much from when he was tied up in that chair. All he remembered was blood and their laughter and pain and wishing he could be dead; still those were enough. Enough to get haunted by ans enough to make him jump every time someone approached him from behind. He wished his father could cast a spell on him and erase everything but how could he ask without admitting that everything wasn't okay with him to his father or to himself? And it got worse at night.
At night when everybody was gone he was left by his own in his room. His mum had offered to stay with him but he had sent her away. Why had he sent her away? Last night with his father sleeping in a chair next to him was different. Besides the fact that he was back home now, besides the fact that he was in his room, besides the fact that the people he most cherished slept in the bedrooms down the hall, he had never feel more vulnerable and weak.
He was covered with two blankets in spit the summer and the heat. He couldn't sleep; he wanted to, but he couldn't. He kept seeing Death Eaters emerging from the dark corners of his room and every time he closed his eyes he kept feeling hands grabbing him and his screams were echoing in his ears. Screaming...
Was he screaming now or he was just hearing himself screaming back then? He didn't know; all he knew was that if he wasn't screaming now he should be, because he felt that it would liberate him. He lay silent though; his fear and anguish building inside him. He thought what his dad said that bravery was the strength to overcome your fears; but how would he overcome this? Jokes and acting casual wouldn't help him now.
The night went by and it was almost six in the morning when James finally fell asleep. But the nightmares wouldn't let him forget.
The next morning James was supposed to go to the Ministry with his father, so he only got to sleep for two hours because they had to be there at nine. He got up from the bed, feeling the world spinning around him. He regained his balance and looked at his reflection in the mirror. There were black bags beneath his eyes and his whole face was pale, probably because staying awake for almost all night is not the best thing to do after you almost bled to death.
He sighed and pulled his sweaty shirt off. He walked to the closet to search for something he could wear. As he opened it he looked at the spot where his guitar usually was. He had lost it along with his broom when the Death Eaters were chasing him. With a jolt he realized he didn't have a wand either. Being with his father he didn't need to use any magic of his ownand he hadn't realized it till now. Great. The most valuable objects he had were all gone.
"Hey, James, can you...?" Albus said entering the room without knocking but stopped.
James turned to face him and he realized that his brother was looking startled at the cuts and bruises on him. James turned away and pulled the first shirt he found in front of him on, feeling an unexplainable anger filling him inside.
"Haven't I told you to knock?" he said to his brother.
"What? Yeah, sorry", the boy replied. Usually when James told him to knock, Albus was mocking him, but he didn't today; and that made James even more irritated. His brother had the same sympathetic, pitiful look all the others had when they looked at him; he hated that.
"What do you want?" he asked him, trying to control the anger that was building inside him.
"What...? Nothing, never mind", the boy replied shaking his head. "James, are you okay?"
"I'm fine" James said; Albus must had gotten the anger in his voice, because he bit his lower lip, he didn't give up though.
"Are you sure? Maybe you should tell dad to take you to the hospital or..."
"I TOLD YOU I'M FINE!" James yelled irritated.
"Okay, sorry", the boy said hastily.
"Stop looking at me like this", James told him.
"Like what?"
"Like you've never seen me again in your entire life, Al!"
"Sorry", the boy said again; James felt ready to explode. He didn't want his brother to be sorry, he wanted him to get angry, he wanted to have an excuse to yell at someone.
"Oh, I bet you are", he said ironically. "Really, since when do you inform strangers about what's happening in our family?"
"What?" Albus asked confused.
"Scorpius told me you told him about the argument I had with dad!" James said.
"I...he's my friend and...I just mentioned it to him...I didn't want to..." Albus mumbled trying to defend himself.
"Did we have anything to do with you business? Why couldn't you just keep your mouth shut?"
"Oh, I was the one who should have kept his mouth shut?" Albus said in an angry voice; James had succeeded to his accomplishment. "You were the one who opened your mouth and didn't know what you were saying to dad!"
"Dad said he forgives me and we're okay now", James informed him. "But I guess that you don't like that, right?"
"What do you mean?" Albus asked confused.
"OH, COME ON!" James exclaimed indignantly. "Like you weren't always trying to be dad's favorite kid! What do you think? That if dad likes, then the rest of the world will too?"
"I never...I'm happy that you and dad are getting along..." Albus said bemused. "How can you think...?"
"Yeah, go ahead and tell me I'm wrong. You're always wanted to be right anyway!"
"I DON'T!" Albus yelled. "Why are you picking on me?"
"It was time for someone to do it!" James said; his anger had taken complete control over him and the worse was that he knew his brother really well and he knew exactly what to say to hurt him. "Or did you think that everyone will bow in front of you? You're only a useless, pathetic, twofaced piece of scum Al and you know it!"
"Why are you talking to me like this?" Albus asked him, tears falling from his eyes. His hurt look wasn't going to stop James though; it felt good causing pain at someone else, it was like he was transmitting his pain and anguish to him. It felt good seeing somebody else crying for once.
"Wanna know why? Because you deserve it!" he told him. The door opened again and their mother walked in.
"What's going on? Why are you two...? Al, are you okay?" Ginny asked looking at her youngest son's face. The boy didn't respond and he stormed out. Ginny turned to her other son. "James..."
"What?" he said irritated.
"What did you say to him?"
"Nothing! It's not my fault that he gets hurt over nothing, is it?"
"James..." Ginny said again warningly.
And as the boy looked at his mother, the anger building inside him faded away and all that was left behind was a big, dark and deep void and he was falling in it. He bit his lower lip, felling his eyes welling up. For a few moments he couldn't breathe from the suffocating feeling that the void inside him was sucking him.
"I...I can't, mum...I just can't..." he said shaking his head and allowing the tears he was holding back all night to fall.
Ginny crossed the room and hugged him. James held on to her for dear life.
"It's gonna be okay, baby, it's gonna be okay", Ginny whispered stroking his hair.
"I...I didn't mean to upset Al...I just needed someone to let my anger on..."
"I know, honey", Ginny nodded kissing his forehead.
They just stayed like this; Ginny trying to calm her son down. Then Harry came; he stopped at the door watching them.
"What's going on?" he asked and they turned to look at him. "Jamie, are you okay?"
"I'm better now", he nodded, managing a watering smile. "I'll get ready for the Ministry...you go see Al and...tell him I'm sorry".
Harry did as James told him and a few seconds later he was knocking on Albus' door. He didn't get a response so he just opened the door. The boy was sitting next to the window with his legs pulled close to his chest.
"Al, are you okay?" Harry asked him as he closed the door and approached him. The boy raised his head and looked at him.
"I guess", he shrugged. "Dad, why does James hate me so much?"
"He doesn't hate you", Harry said nodding negatively.
"Then why was he like that today? All I did was to ask him if he was okay when I saw the cuts on him".
"Alby, your brother had been through a lot during this last week...he almost died", Harry tried to explain. "Yeah", he nodded when Albus looked at him taken aback. "He almost died; because the Death Eaters tortured him so badly. He has a lot of anger inside him and he just...he just used you as a punching bag".
"So, you're saying that he doesn't have any issues with me?"
"He doesn't" Harry nodded. "He told me to tell you he's sorry".
Albus sighed.
"I feel like we're falling apart, dad", he said. "All of us... this thing has to end".
"I know", Harry nodded. "And I want it to end more than anyone, believe me, but I don't know how. All I know is that the Death Eaters will pay for what they did to Jamie and that I won't let any of you to get hurt again...and that's a promise".
"Fine, then, I believe you", the boy smiled.

Well, here I am again though I have to say that I'm a little frustrated, since I seem to have lost some of my beloved readers I cherished so much like Padfoot and Cadence so  , just know that I miss you, plus this last chapter didn't get replies from all the others. I hope though that this doesn't mean that you guys got bored of my story...Anyway, I won't give up just yet, since I have a new reader and some of the old ones still here!
Chapter 17 continue
Harry apparated to the Ministry with James. The boy was a little nervous about having to testify all about the events in Austria. He looked at his father; he seemed quite nervous too but the boy couldn't understand why.
"Dad, what...?"
"Jamie, now that we're gonna get in, there might be some...some reporters waiting", Harry said and the boy groaned.
"What? Oh, come on dad, isn't there another way to get in?"
"There is but you have to work here...they won't let you in", Herry replied.
"This sucks! Why didn't you tell me from home?"
"So you wouldn't come?"
"No, so I could come better prepared! Look at me!" James said pointing at his casual clothes and his pale, black bags under the eyes face. "How am I gonna make the front page looking like this?"
Harry grunted and rolled his eyes indignantly.
"That's your problem?"
"Well, yeah! I have a music career to preserve, hello! I can't have pictures looking like crap! It will ruin my image!" James said seriously.
Harry rolled his eyes again and grabbed the boy's arm dragging him inside.
Hermione apparated home with Artemis to find Mrs. Weasley in the kitchen cooking and her son sitting there watching her.
"Hey, dear, weren't you supposed to be at work?"
"Hey, Molly", Hermione nodded. "I forgot some papers", she said and turned to her son. "Hey, honey, will you be a dear and go bring those papers to mummy?"
Hugo grunted but got up.
"Where are they?"
"In my bedroom, second drawer left", Hermione said and the boy nodded and left. "Molly, this is Artemis", Hermione said introducing the two women. The girl shook Molly's hand. "She's a fellow auror".
"Oh", Molly smiled. "Well, nice to meet you, dear. How come you two work together? I thought Harry was your partner?"
"He is but he's on a sabbatical...until today at least", Hermione shrugged. "Plus Artemis is working with us in the Apostollo case anyway", she added and the girl nodded.
"Oh, this Apostollo case...", Molly said shaking her head. "You're lucky", she added addressing Artemis. "You seem like you were too young when we had You-know-who terrorizing us...it's really hard to see the madness repeat itself".
"Actually...I had some of that madness in my life..." Artemis said. "My mother died during that last big battle in Hogwarts".
"Really? I didn't know!" Hermione said. "I'm sorry".
"It was a lot of years ago", the woman shrugged. Hermione nodded and then coughed.
"So where's everybody else?" she asked mostly because she wanted to change the subject.
"Well, Hugo is getting you your stuff, Albus is upstairs and Ginny went to see Luna with Lilly and Rose", Molly answered.
"Oh, yeah she told me. They're discussing if Ginny could start writing for the Quibbler".
"Ginny shouldn't", Molly said shaking her head. "She's pregnant; and she has a house to..."
"Oh, Harry's wife is pregnant? I didn't know!" Artemis smiled.
"Yeah she is", Hermione nodded; then she turned to Mrs. Weasley. "Molly, we're talking about Ginny. She spent almost half a year not working since she quit the Prophet and honestly it's getting on her nerves!"
"Well, she shouldn't be considering to work again now with the baby coming!" Molly said indignantly. "It's not like they don't have money!"
"Tell me you didn't have a fight with her before she left".
"No...not a big one at least", Molly replied cutting a carrot in small pieces for the soup.
"She's a columnist, Molly, it's not like her job is dangerous!"
"In times like these it is! Especially with the things she writes!"
"That's why she became a journalist in the first place, so she could give people the truth when others didn't. You should be proud of her", Hermione pointed out.
"Well, whatever", Mrs. Weasley shrugged as Hugo came handing his mother the papers she wanted.
"Thanks", Hermione smiled. "How come you didn't go to Luna's?"
"The boys wouldn't be there; they've gone somewhere with their father", Hugo replied.
"I see...So, we'd better go, then", Hermione told Artemis.
"Yeah, we'd better".
"I don't know, Lu", Ginny said as she sat in Luna's couch with her friend sitting in the opposite armchair with Rose and Lilly at each side of her.
"Know what?" Luna asked.
"If I can come writing for you now with all that's happening", Ginny responded.
"You mean Apostollo, huh? You know, he might be member of the Nomad conspiracy", Luna saud and Ginny smiled.
"I don't think so, Luna", she responded not even asking what that conspiracy was. "Who else but a Death Eater would want to hurt my family? Who else would have kidnapped my son?"
"Well, you have a point", Luna admitted. "How's James?"
"He's pretty shaken but hopefully he'll be okay", Ginny said.
"Of course, he'll be okay! He's a strong kid; he took after his godmother!" Luna said proudly and Ginny laughed.
"I guess he did", she said. "Well, anyway that's why I'm not sure if..."
"Don't worry about it Gin", Luna stopped her. "Your safety comes first".
"Yeah, that's what my mum said", Ginny said rolling her eyes. "She's all about 'how are you gonna work in your state' and stuff".
"Wait...what state?"
"She pregant!" Lilly and Rose yelled together in Luna's ears.
"And I just got nearly deaf but whatever!" Luna laughed. "That's great news Gin! Hey, I've got dibs for godmother!"
"You're James' godmother, Lu!" Ginny laughed. "McGonagall is Albus' and Ron and Hermione Lilly's...don't you think that Neville should do something too?"
"Well, fine, but the next one is mine", Luna announced.
"The next one?" Ginny exclaimed. "Honey, I have a family, I'm not trying to make a band!"
At the end of her sentence a loud apparition pop came from outside.
"Are you expecting anyone?" Ginny asked Luna getting up.
"Not really, but it could be..."
"Wait, Lu, don't go out", Ginny stopped her cluthing her hand. Luna gave her a confused look but Ginny ignored it and approached the window, a bad feeling growing inside her.
-So I know I said that there will be action in the next post but there was some information I had to give before that...there will be another post later today or tommorow, so stay tuned!-
-Angie-

WHAT?! You can't leave it like that! What about Ginny and Luna and Lily and Rose? What if it's Deatheaters? What if something happens to them? What if Harry can't find them? She's been a nervous wreck all day... Her dad scared her to death this morning and then the light bulb wouldn't work so she went to unscrew it and it just turned on... I walked upstairs to her sitting in a corner laughing her head off... That's what she does when she's in shock...
But what if it's Neville? Then there's no need to panic, right? It's not Neville... I can feel it... I'm psychic... Please don't let them die! What if someone does though? What if Neville comes home while they're still there? What if- SHUT UP! Just comment on the post already!
Right... Okay... Erm... Yeah, Great post! I love how you've got three different things going on at the same time... Jamie, There is no need to panic... Your music days are just starting to kick off!
Can I start panicking again now? *nods head*
Alicia... XD
Abi... xox

Ha! I got a lot of replies! Thanks!!! Well, I promised more soon so here it is. Just one thing: Abi how the hell did you know that Neville will be in this chapter too? Is Maria PMing you with what happens next? If she doesn't you're a scary person...! How do you do it?
Chapter 18
"So what did he say?" Harry asked Matthias as the man reentered the office.
"Well, he's not happy we lied to him but at least he's not firing any of us", the man responded.
"That's nice of him", Harry said ironically. "Why every Minister we have in ties of a crisis has to be incompetent?"
"Don't let him hear you say that", Matthias said warningly.
"Whatever", Harry shrugged. "So, whar are we doing now?"
"Well, aurors have already been sent at Azkaban to figure out what happened...the boys saw Yaxley and you saw Rockwood and they both are supposedly imprisoned!"
"It's not the first time someone escapes Azkaban", Harry pointed out.
"Yeah, but all the other times we knew someone had escaped", Matthias sighed sitting behind his desk. "Did the boys finish testifying, yet?"
"Scorpius did, Jamie is still in".
"I hope we're gonna get something from them because it's not good...at all" Matthias said troubled.
"What do you mean?" Harry asked confused.
"How did the Death Eaters knew how to find James? How did they know that he run away in the first place? And if there have been escapes from Azkaban how did they manage to cover it up?"
"Wait...you're implying that..."
"There's a mole in the Ministry".
The bell rang for the second time.
"Ginny you're acting paranoid", Luna told her friend. "Why shouldn't I open the door?"
"Oh, come on Lu, it may be the Death Eaters!"
"Gin, the Death Eaters don't ring bells!" Luna pointed out shrugging her hand off. "And you people call me crazy", she added shaking her head, then she left the living room and headed to the door, Ginny and the girls following her.
"I'm telling you I have a bad feeling", Ginny whispered in her ear.
Luna looked at her a little worried herself. They approached the door together, the girls standing about a meter behind. Luna streched out her hand to open the door.
"It's Neville!" the person behind the door said and the two women jumped at the voice. Then Luna looked at Ginny irritated and opened the door irritated. "Why did it take you so long to... hey, Ginny what are you doing here?"
"Apparently scaring the hell out of me", Luna hissed and she walked back to the living room followed by the others.
"Sorry", Ginny shrugged and Luna grunted again. "I'm here for a job interview...what's your excuse?" the woman added addressing Neville.
"Well, I'm here because I need Luna's help", Neville replied and turned to Luna. "I need you to post in your magazine that some plants I wanna bring in the country are not dangerous because the Ministry refuses to believe me, but people always believe what they read in your magazine".
"And you want to take advantage of that?" Luna asked narrowing her eyes.
"Well, yeah", Neville smiled then he turned to Lilly and Rose. "Hi girls, how are you?"
"Hi professor", Linny said and Rose nodded.
"Neville, I can't..." Luna started.
"Did you hear that?" Ginny said interrupting her and looking up.
"Hear what?" Luna asked confused.
"A sound...like scratching".
"Gin, seriously?" Luna shook her head.
"I'm not paranoid, Lu!"
"No, but obviously your hormones are!"
"Wait, I think I hear it too", Lilly said and they all looked up.
There was a sound coming from the next floor and it was growing louder.
"I must have left the water running", Luna shrugged.
"Well, at least I know I don't hear sounds", Ginny said relieved and then turned to Neville. "Do you wanna come over for lunch today?"
"Sure, sounds great", Neville nodded.
"Why does he get invited to lunch and I'm not?" Luna said placing her hands on her hips.
"I figured your husband and your boys would be here by then", Ginny responded defensively.
"Yeah, yeah, a likely story", Luna said ironocally. "First you don't wanna make me godmother and then..."
"But you are James' godmother", Neville said confused.
"Oh, see I'm...", Ginny started but then a loud buzz came from all around and the next moment everything filled with water.
Some of the walls got smashed as big waves of water filled the house. The girls screamed and run to Ginny just before the waves reached them. Neville managed to cast a spell to protect them tough before the force of the water sent them hitting on a wall.
"What the hell is going on?" Rose asked terrified.
"This time is Death Eaters, that's what is going on", Ginny replied dragging the girls behind her back.
"Yeah and they're wracking my house!" Luna said irritated. "Who's gonna clean all this mess?"
The water stopped coming and Neville lowered his wand, the protection bubble around them burst. Someone blasted the door open.
"What are we doing?" Neville asked turning to the others.
"Come to the basement, quickly, before they see us!" Luna sad and she run to the kitchen, the rest of them following her. She opened the door that led to the basement just as they heard hoarse voices from the living room.
"Lu, why are we going to the basement? We'll be trapped!" Ginny pointed out as they run down the stairs.
"No we won't...there's a secret tunnel in the basement, we can use it to get out".
"You have a secret passegeway in your house?" Nevilled asked suprised.
"Duh...it's Luna, isn't it?" Lilly said before anyone else could reply.
"Hey!" Luna said.
"Where's this tunnel?" Ginny asked looking around in the dark basement.
Luna run to the opposite wall and hit some certain bricks with her wand. The wall begun disappearing brick by brick.
"Hey that's like in Diagon Alley", Rose said and Luna nodded.
"That's where we took the idea", she said and as the passegeway was fully opened she run to a pile with weird shiny stuff close by and started searching for something.
"Luna, what are you doing? Come on, we have to go!" Neville demanded.
"Wait...just wait a minute", Luna told them.
"Lu, they're gonna find us!" Ginny said. Just as she finished her sentence they all had the odd sensation that something was swooping low over them, immersing their bodies in their shadows. "They did find us!" Ginny yelled.
"Okay, okay, I'm coming!" Luna said finally finding what she was looking for.
Ginny looked down at her friend's hands.
"A magic mirror?"
"Yeah, we're gonna have to call for help...plus I have to stop my husband from coming here!" Luna explained.
"Okay, but as soon as we're out", Neville said as they heard running from upstairs. He grabbed Luna's and Rose's hand and Ginny took Lilly's and they started running in the passageway.
"Where does it lead?" Neville asked as they run.
"To a little stream close by", Luna replied.
"Wait!" Lilly yelled a couple of mimutes later and they stopped and turned.
Ginny had stopped running and she was leaning against the wall.
"Gin, are you okay?" Luna asked as she approached her.
"Mum?" Lilly said too uncertainly.
Ginny didn't replied though. She clutched her stomach, biting her lower lip to keep herself from screaming.
"Ginny, what...?" Neville asked alarmed.
"My stomach!" she said with her hands on it.
"The baby?" Luna asked terrified and Ginny nodded with tears of pain in her eyes.
