OK.
Everybody ready?
The first part is just going to be a conversation between Harry and Ted.
Then
Everybody going off to Hogwarts.
Gabriella will be in this one.
Teddy and Harry sat in the kitchen of the Burrow discussing their plan. Everyone around them was too busy to hear them so there was no need to whisper. They had no proper way to get to Hogwarts unless they were to sneak.
''We are going to have to go at the same time as all of the kids, sneak on the train with them.'' Teddy had been trying to get Harry to listen to him the whole time.
''I know, you don't want to risk Apparating but we can do that easily.''
''There is nobody to open the gates for us if we use apparition.''
''There is Hagrid, Neville. They all know us. I'm an auror, you work for the Minister, we can get in easily.''
''Yeah but we don't want too much attention.''
''Oh, and getting on a train with a bunch of kids isn't drawing too much attention?''
''Well you're the boss, so..... We'll stick with your plan.''
''Anyway Ted, we would have had to apparate back here anyway.''
''Sorry, I thought it was agood plan.''
''Good thought really, just not very practical. Right, lets refresh the plan.''
1. Apparate when the feast is over.
2. Get Professor Longbottom to open the gates, lets hope he doesn't get fired.
3. Thank him.
4. Stay the night at Hagrid's
5. Go out to the forest in the morning and dig for the stone until lunch, mark where we finished looking.
6. Have lunch in the Great Hall, telling people that Aurors have been situated around Hogsmeade due to burglaries.
7. Go back,starting at where we have already looked.
8. Repeat until we find the Resurrection Stone.
9. No longer than three days should we be there. We will find it.
''How does that sound?''
''Great Harry, really. Are you sure that we will find it?''
''I dream about that night everyday. I remember where I dropped it like it was two minutes ago. You will never forget the day that you fought off the darkest wizard of all time. And the day that you told your wife that you love her and want to marry her. You know how that feels.''
''I sure do. Although you don't know how it feels for her to be pregnant and ending up in hospital, all before you marry her.''
''I know Ted. How is she doing?''
''She is great. Talking with all the ladies in the living room. She has decided that every cousin of hers has to be a part of the wedding.''
''Oh, great. Now I have three hyper children.'' We both laughed and went back to revising the plan.
''Consider yourself lucky Teddy.''
''Why's that Ron?''
''When we used to revise plans, you know, trying to defeat Voldemort and all, Hermione made us resite the plan over and over again. Remember Harry, getting into the Ministry?''
''That was absolute torture! We stayed up half the night. Memorising, checking, saying. She made us stand, like we were saying a speech.'' All three of us were laughing now. They relived the whole story for me,I hadn't quite got the 'getting into the Ministry' part of it.
''Now just remember, we are talking about my wife here.''
*****************
''Onboard everyone! Come on, we're running late here! Scheduled to leave five minutes ago!''
Gabriella Roseheart was the new bossy boots of Platform 9 3/4. She had taken over from Percy two years ago. He had moved onto less stressing things in life.
''She is never patient!'' I was so annoyed. Why had I even bothered to come with people to wave off the kids?
''You are lucky, she isn't bossing you about anymore. It's us now.'' James was even more frustrated than me. Poor boy.
''Now remember everyone, keep an eye out for letters. You will all be receiving them frequently. Reply as soon as you can. Please. Feel free to check up on me if you haven't got a letter in a while.'' I had told them this too many times but it had to be said. We would be discussing wedding plansthe whole year, right up to the very day.''James, you'll probably get them from Ted, not me. OK?''
''Yeah, we got it.'' They all replied at he same time, making everybody on the platform turn around.
''Bye. Have a nice year. Good luck in the sorting Lily! Tell me all about it! Don't worry about anything!''
''Thanks Vic. Love you! Say Good morning to the baby every single day from me!'' They were all boarding now so the sound was a little muffled.
''I will, I promise!''
****************
The night was very dark when the two men arrived in Hogsmeade. They walked to the gates where they were due to meet Neville Longbottom, the Herbology teacher, at 9.00 o'clock. They had to wait for a couple of hours and then they saw him.
''Hey Harry, Teddy. How you two doin'. Hope all is well. How are the ladies?''
He was such a lovely man. Luna Longbottom was so lucky to have him as a husband. They both owned the little shop in Hogsmeade called 'Things that only I know the meaning of'. It was a very appropriate name because Luna really was the only person that knew the names and meanings of her stock. Their two kids were now at Hogwarts. Well one had started that very day, the other, the year before. Ginny was Hermione's godmother, Ron was Molly's godfather. Both of them were such good parents, they wanted their kids to have meaningful names and godparents.
Luna and Neville had claimed that their daughters' names ment bravery, kindness, intelligence and discovery. Both Molly and Hermione were delighted to have had their names chosen for the kids. Molly Longbottom was in Lily's year at school, they were both sorted into Gryffndor that very day and Hermione Longbottom also in Gryffindor.
''Neville, we really appreciate this. Thanks alot.''
''No bother Harry. The amount of times you have helped me out, you deserve it.''
''Thanks.'' The first three tasks were now ticked off the list, now to number four.
*************
''Harry, Teddy! Nice to see you both!'' Rubeus Hagrid had aged drastically. His long hair was now grey and his clothing had been sorted into dress trousers, shirts and cardigans. He was a really lovely bloke, shame he never had anybody to love.
''Nice to see you two. Thanks alot for the help.''
''No problem guys, really.''
How was that?
Comment please.
