Halfbloods fic

[halfblood]

Hey this is the first chapter of my fic, basically I'm continuing (my version) where the 6th book left off!

Harry Potter and the Final Horcrux

Chapter 1: Coming of age

“Happy Birthday Harry!” Ron and Ginny chorused together.
-------------------------------------------------------------
“Wuzzgoingon” Harry muttered half asleep.
---------------------------------------------------------------
“It’s your birthday mate,” answered Ron. “Sorry we woke you up so early but mum asked us to, she has some news to give you.”

----------------------------------------------------------------

Harry had spent the beginning of his summer at the Dursley’s until the day he turned 17 as he had promised Dumbledore…He tried his hardest to follow out Dumbledore’s wishes after his passing, he felt it was a sign of respect for the Headmaster he had become so fond of. In many situations he thought ‘how would Dumbledore want me to react?’ He tried to follow this out the best he could of course this was very hard due to the fact then when he finally became of age and was preparing to leave the Dursley’s he had a sudden urge to try out Ginny’s famous Bat-bogey hex on Dudley. His time at the Dursley’s was unusually pleasant as Dudley had been so preoccupied with his new girlfriend to notice Harry. Harry had waited until mid-night to finally leave the Dursley’s, he would travel with Tonks on a portkey to his late Godfather’s house. Grimmauld Place.

-------------------------------------------------------------

“What’s this news about?” Harry asked curiously.
------------------------------------------------------------
“Dunno,” replied Ron simply. “But she said she wanted to tell all of us, You Ginny Hermione and me.”
-----------------------------------------------------------
“Hermione’s coming then?” asked Harry, sitting up.
-----------------------------------------------------------
“Yeah, she’ll be here at 9” Ginny answered suddenly. “About ten minutes.”
---------------------------------------------------------
“Were the Dursley’s as horrible as usual?” Ron asked, grinning.
---------------------------------------------------------
“Actually, it wasn’t too bad” said Harry. “Dudley hasn’t been bothering me since he got a new girlfriend.” Harry glanced at Ginny and then blushed, she caught his eye.
--------------------------------------------------------------
“Well we’ll leave you to get ready.” Ginny said quickly, ending the conversation.
------------------------------------------------------------
Harry sat there for a few moments, and then for the first time that summer, smiled to himself.

---------------------------------------------------------------

“Harry! Oh Harry! Happy birthday!” squealed Mrs. Weasley as Harry entered the kitchen. “What would you like for breakfast? Eggs, toast, anything you want.”
---------------------------------------------------------------
“That would be great, thanks Mrs. Weasley.” Harry replied.
--------------------------------------------------------------
“Harry?” a familiar voice sounded through the hall.
-------------------------------------------------------------
“We’re in the kitchen Hermione” Harry answered, happy to hear her voice.
-----------------------------------------------------------
“Harry!” Hermione mimicked Mrs. Weasley “Happy Birthday!”
-------------------------------------------------------------
“Thanks.” Harry smiled.
-------------------------------------------------------------
“Well now I’ve got you all here…eggs Hermione?”
“Thank you Mrs. Weasley.”
--------------------------------------------------------------
“Mum you got us all here to offer Hermione eggs?” Ginny replied smirking.
---------------------------------------------------------------
“Of course not, now stop these silly remarks!” Mrs. Weasley sounded mad.
---------------------------------------------------------------
“Sorry, mum.” Ginny mumbled a bit confused as to why her mother just scolded her.
--------------------------------------------------------------
“I have news, concerning D-Dumbledore.” Mrs. Weasley sniffed. The others were silent. “Well, it’s actually good news but…well, lets get straight to it,” she gave them a watery smile. “They have made a portrait of him which should hang in The Headmasters office but-”
-----------------------------------------------------------
“Er, Mrs. Weasley?” Harry felt this was the best moment to tell her. “I-I’m not going…” Harry started. “Back to Hogwarts” he finished, now whispering.
--------------------------------------------------------
Mrs. Weasley just stared at him for a moment then answered.
“I thought you might not.”
-------------------------------------------------------------
“You, you did?” Harry asked surprised
----------------------------------------------------------
“I know Harry that you want to continue, and I’m sure Dumbledore would agree full heartedly. You didn’t let me finish though.” Mrs. Weasley now sounded grave. “Hogwarts has been closed.” she finished.
----------------------------------------------------------
“What!” Ginny screamed.
---------------------------------------------------------
“I know darling, but after the attack last year-” she didn’t need to finish.
--------------------------------------------------------------
“So mum then why did you say ‘I thought you might no’ to Harry when he couldn’t have gone to Hogwarts anyway.” Ron asked observantly.
---------------------------------------------------------------
“Because I knew regardless of that Harry wouldn’t go, he would carry out Dumbledore’s wishes.” she answered. “You lot still haven’t let me explain about Dumbledore’s portrait… they’re sending it here.”
-----------------------------------------------------------
“Here!” Harry jumped to his feet
-------------------------------------------------------------
“Yes Darling,” Mrs. Weasley smiled. “Dumbledore had told us at the beginning of your 6th year that was his wishes if worse came to worse.” She finished thoughtfully. “Well, Harry the order will be coming over tonight” said Mrs. Weasley “and I thought we’d have a little birthday celebration. Since you’re coming of age we decided to save your presents for later.”
-------------------------------------------------------------
For some reason Harry felt so much gratitude towards this woman who had treated him as her own child. He went over and hugged her.
“Thank you, Mrs. Weasley.”
-------------------------------------------------------------
“No need to thank me dear and please start calling me Molly,” she smiled with so much warmth in her eyes and looked down at Harry, whom she loved as much as if he were her own child. She felt tears slide down her cheeks.
----------------------------------------------------------------
“Mrs. Weasley, are you ok?” asked Hermione looking concerned
--------------------------------------------------------------
“Yes, dear I’m fine, now would you stop calling me Mrs. Weasley,” she said in mock anger, but grinned, rubbing her tear stained cheeks.
--------------------------------------------------------------
“Sorry” Said Hermione smiling “Molly.”
---------------------------------------------------------------
“Aahhh!” Hermione screamed, the smile washing of her face.
----------------------------------------------------------------
“Fred, George! What on earth were you playing at?” Mrs. Weasley shouted.
----------------------------------------------------------------
“Sorry mum.” said Fred “We just wanted to make an entrance.”
---------------------------------------------------------------
“Well apparating into a room, especially during these dark times is not the way to go about it!”
--------------------------------------------------------------
“Sorry mum.” They both mumbled frowning.

---------------------------------------------------------

That night at Harry’s party, two more Weasley family members had come; Charlie and Bill accompanied by Fleur. Also, there was Lupin and Tonks together (both seemed happier than usual) Mad-eye, Professor McGonagall and finally Hagrid who had brought an excited Fang with him. Sadly Mr. Weasley couldn’t be there as he was, as usual, busy at the Ministry.
------------------------------------------------------------
“So Harry, how does it feel to be of age?” Lupin asked.
--------------------------------------------------------------
“Not much different to tell you the truth, although I am enjoying my Dursley- free summer.” he grinned back.
-------------------------------------------------------------“Well you and Ron have got your apparition tests
scheduled for tomorrow.” Tonks added, enthusiastically.
-------------------------------------------------------
“Yeah, can’t wait.” Harry muttered, only half listening to Tonks. His attention turned to Ron and Hermione who were acting very suspiciously. Harry saw that look in Ron’s eye before and that was when he had accidentally swallowed a love potion sent to Harry by Romilda Vane the previous year.

Here's the second Chapter.

Chapter 2: Secrets and Surprises

“I’m glad I didn’t fail my apparation test the second time, Fred and George would really have a laugh if I did. You did it perfectly though!”
-------------------------------------------------------------
“Yeah, well I told you, I had to apparate with Dumbledore the night-” Harry finished a bit downhearted.
-------------------------------------------------------------
“Yeah I know mate” Ron patted him on the back sympathetically. They were interrupted by whispering.
---------------------------------------------------------
“You mean you and Ron are…are…DATI-”
“Shhh!” Hermione told Ginny “They could be back any minute now!”
--------------------------------------------------------------
“I still can’t believe that you’re dating my brother.”
“Why, what’s wrong with me?” Asked Hermione in a challenging voice
---------------------------------------------------------------
“There’s nothing wrong with you…er, well maybe if you’re with R-”
---------------------------------------------------------------
“Hey Harry!” Said Hermione overenthusiastically, as Harry and Ron came in. Harry had a mischievous look on his face while Ron’s ears had turned red.
--------------------------------------------------------------
“Guessing by the look on your face you passed then?” Ginny asked
-----------------------------------------------------------
“Yup.” Said Harry, then added “And so did Ron” because he seemed unable to speak for himself.
-----------------------------------------------------------
“Oh good Harry, well I’m so glad you both passed, well I have to go!” Hermione said as she crashed out the room.
---------------------------------------------------------------
“I wonder what’s wrong with her” Harry said with a hint of sarcasm which only Ron recognized.
---------------------------------------------------------------
“Harry please just tell them you know” muttered Ron.
-------------------------------------------------------------
“Know what?” asked Ginny curiously.
-------------------------------------------------------------
“About Ron a Hermione” said Harry who was hardly able to suppress a grin. Ginny opened her mouth to speak as Hermione came into the room.
--------------------------------------------------------------
“Ron can I talk to you for a minute please” Hermione asked.
--------------------------------------------------------------
“Hermione”
-------------------------------------------------------------
“Yes Harry” she said not meeting his eyes.
-------------------------------------------------------------
“I Know” he said playfully.
-------------------------------------------------------------
“Know what?” she answered uncertainly.
-------------------------------------------------------------
“Oh come on Hermione!” Ron exclaimed “You’re supposed to be smart.”
------------------------------------------------------------
Suddenly, Ginny burst out laughing.

-----------------------------------------------------------

The rest of the day went by uneventful with Order members just popping in and out. Fleur and Mrs. Weasley seemed to be spending more time together. This was due to the fact that after Bill’s injury by Fenrir Greyback, Fleur still showed undying love and devotion to him, which Mrs. Weasley didn’t think existed. It wasn’t until dinner when Mrs. Weasley told Harry, Ron, Hermione and Ginny that they had a guest coming to stay at Grimmauld place with them and before they could answer, he arrived.
“Hello fellow D.A members” Neville Longbottom greeted them.
-------------------------------------------------------------
“Neville!” They all exclaimed together.
------------------------------------------------------------
“Not trying to sound rude or anything but what are you doing here?” Said Ron
--------------------------------------------------------------
“Ron!” Scolded Mrs.Weasley “What sort of way is that to greet a friend” She shook her fist and left the room.
---------------------------------------------------------------
“Well,” Started Neville “After finding out Hogwarts was going to be closed my Gran got a bit worried. Especially, with that Bellatrix Lestrange woman still out there.” He said her name with deepest loathing as she was the one who had tortured his mother and father into insanity.
---------------------------------------------------------------
“Dinner!” Mrs. Weasley called out from the Hall. “Lupin and Tonks will be joining us today.” She said cheerfully. And sure enough, they were both seated in the kitchen looking very happy about something.

---------------------------------------------------------------

“Dinner was wonderful Molly.” Lupin thanked her.
--------------------------------------------------------------
“Oh, don’t give me all the credit, I had plenty of help. Fleur is excellent in the kitchen!”
------------------------------------------------------------
“Well, thank you Fleur” Lupin added kindly.
--------------------------------------------------------------
“Eet iz no problem, I like cooking ze engleesh food.”
Fleur replied smiling.
-----------------------------------------------------------
“Oh dear I’m not too good in the kitchen.” Tonks added, glancing at Lupin who blushed.
------------------------------------------------------------
“Well dear you can always join us for dinner and I can help you if you like.” Mrs.Weasley replied not noticing the secret glance shared between the two.
-----------------------------------------------------------
“Well I think I’m going to need the help.” Tonks added with a grin.
-----------------------------------------------------------
“Why are you so suddenly interested in cooking?” Mrs. Weasley asked raising her eye brows.
----------------------------------------------------------
“Well…” Tonks answered, looking at Lupin who smiled back.
-----------------------------------------------------------
“We’re engaged” He finished quickly, with a huge smile.
-------------------------------------------------------------
“YOU ARE! Oh my! I was hoping…but I thought with…you might not…Oh how wonderful!” Mrs. Weasley squealed as the others offered congratulations.
-------------------------------------------------------------
“Wee must make eet a double wedding” began Fleur “eet would be wonderful but you must ‘ave your ‘air in a deeferent colour, eet would be ‘orrible weeth ze decorations.” Tonks ignored the last comment Fleur made because the gesture of a double wedding was recognizably sincere which made her practically beam at Fleur.
--------------------------------------------------------------
“Oh, look at the time!” Mrs. Weasley cut in “Aurther is coming home early today and he has a surprise for us all.” Mrs. Weasley grinned secretively.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Ten minutes later Mrs. Weasley’s, special clock that had each of the family members names on it with their own hand, Pointed out Mr. Weasley was travelling. She had brought it with her from the Burrow and it seemed to have added three extra members; Harry, Hermione and Fleur. Harry nudged Hermione who looked surprised. Fleur was watching them and looked to and found her name on it. Mrs.Weasley watched amused.
----------------------------------------------------------------
“I don’t know why I didn’t add your names sooner.” She said.
---------------------------------------------------------------
“Hello, everybody!” Mr Weasley greeted, entering the kitchen. “I have a surprise for you, which Harry I think you will especially like.” He walked out for a moment then came in clutching a portrait of Dumbledore. Harry gasped and it seemed he could no longer breathe.
--------------------------------------------------------------
“Hello Harry.” Said Dumbledore’s portrait cheerfully and Harry recognized the warm smile Dumbledore gave and found his eyes burning.
-------------------------------------------------------------
“Hello, P-Professor D-Dumbledore.” Harry gulped, his throat went dry. The others seemed to be in the same condition he was, though he thought they didn’t feel half of what he felt. He remembered the current Minister of Magic calling him ‘Dumbledore’s man, through and through.’ Which he still felt he was…
-------------------------------------------------------------
“Well.” Said the portrait “I think I might have a bit of a nap and let Aurthur catch up with everyone; congratulations Lupin and Tonks on your engagement.” Tonk’s mouth dropped open.
‘How could he possibly know?’ Thought Harry and the answer came to him. ‘It’s Dumbledore.’

Oh yeah, sorry. I didn't post anything here that says how to use this place. It's fine that you posted in here, but really if you want to post your fic, you post it in the fan fiction section. This is so if you have your fanfictions up on, say Mugglenet, you can link to them here and people can review there. I'm sorry I didn't tell you before!

[halfblood]

Here's the third chapter..

Chapter 3: The Truth behind Her Green eyes

They had finally gotten rid of the portrait of Sirius’s mum and instead hung there Dumbledore’s portrait (with the velvet curtains open). Everyone had gone to bed but Harry couldn’t sleep. Dumbledore kept creeping into his head and he had to slip out to the portrait. Expecting Dumbledore (or his portrait) to be asleep he sat at the foot of the stairs, when suddenly Dumbledore opened his eyes.
-------------------------------------------------------------
“Couldn’t sleep Harry?” He said gently
--------------------------------------------------------------
“No Sir.” Harry answered, not keeping his eyes on the portrait.
---------------------------------------------------------
“Well, as you’re awake, I would like to discuss something important with you.” Said Dumbledore and finally Harry looked up and saw he didn’t seem as old as he did in life. More like the Dumbledore he met during his first year at Hogwarts. “It’s about your parents Harry.” Dumbledore continued.
--------------------------------------------------------------
“What about my parents, Sir.” Harry whispered for fear of his voice shaking.
--------------------------------------------------------------
“Harry…” Dumbledore sighed “this information (you will find in due time) Will help you on your way to defeating Voldermort. It is about you parents occupations at the time. Your father much like you wanted to be an Auror when he was a child and that is what he became. In fact head of the Auror office which of course you might see would make him a target for Voldermort. You’re mother on the other hand wanted to teach, potions in fact as it was one of her best subjects (you have heard from Professor Slughorn). At the time, though, she was unoccupied and stayed at home to look after you. She had a hidden talent which only (besides James and me) three of his friends knew, she was a Seer. Now it is rare to have that power but form a muggle born was even rarer. She was a very good Seer. Of course Voldermort wanted someone with that power working for him. One of the only people who knew about Lily’s remarkable talent was Peter Petigrew who in turn gave Voldermort this information-”
-----------------------------------------------------------
“Sorry sir but I have a question.” Interrupted Harry
----------------------------------------------------------
“Ask away Harry.” Dumbledore replied kindly.
----------------------------------------------------------
“If my mother was a Seer why didn’t she know about Peter Petigrew helping Voldermort?”
----------------------------------------------------------
“Ah, Harry a very good question. Peter Petigrew joined Voldermort a short while before she realized her power and as soon as he found out he told Voldermort who made it his job to make sure she couldn’t predict anything with Petigrew-”
---------------------------------------------------------
“Professor-”
---------------------------------------------------------
“Let me finish Harry for I think I am right about the question you are about to ask….Your mother had predicted that their secret keeper would deceive them and pictured her husbands death as well as hers at the hands of Voldermort but saw that you would survive. She told her suspicions to Sirius who was their secret keeper at the time (as you very well know). He then thought it would be him to tell Voldermort, he knew he would rather die then tell the darkest wizard where his best friend lived but suspected someone might cast the imperius curse on him or give him Veritaserum, so he made Petigrew the secret keeper…who then betrayed them.” He finished.
--------------------------------------------------------------
“Sir?”
--------------------------------------------------------------
“Yes Harry?”
---------------------------------------------------------------
“Why did Voldermort ask my mother-”
---------------------------------------------------------------
“Why did he ask your mother or should I say give her the choice to live (for Voldermort never asks)?” Dumbledore interrupted
----------------------------------------------------------------
“Er, Yeah” Replied Harry.
----------------------------------------------------------------
“Naturally, he wanted her gift as a seer, but there may be more to that...” Dumbledore wandered off. He saw Harry looking uncomfortable. “Harry I have told you before, Voldermort doesn’t understand love, and he thought your mother would be willing to sacrifice you to save her life. She was content in dying because her vision showed her that you would survive and that was all she wanted.”
----------------------------------------------------------------
“Thanks Professor, but how does help-”
-------------------------------------------------------------
“How does this help you defeat Voldermort?”
-----------------------------------------------------------
“Er, Yeah”
-----------------------------------------------------------
“You will see in due time…Goodnight Harry”
--------------------------------------------------------
“Goodnight Sir” Harry replied, he was forcibly reminded of the last year when he had private classes with Dumbledore. As he lay down, his thoughts buzzed through his mind as they did many times after meetings with Dumbledore.

nice chapter....gets me thinking too lol

[Spacey Caysie]

Wow!!!! Can't wait for more!

[halfblood]

Fourth Chapter is up

Chapter 4: Lazy August

Harry awoke late next morning due to his ‘meeting’ with Dumbledore the previous night. He lay in bed for a while going over his thoughts when he heard a scream which sounded like it came from Mrs.Weasley. Panic struck Harry and he apparated straight into the kitchen, which he hadn’t done before because in his opinion the stairs were perfectly fine.
--------------------------------------------------------------
“Mrs.Weasley! Are you ok?” Harry asked. Everyone else seemed to be laughing including Mrs.Weasley herself. “Why are you all laughing? And why is Hedwig down here?” He asked as he saw her perched in her cage in the middle of the kitchen table.
---------------------------------------------------------------t
“Everything’s fine Harry, I just got a bit of a scare, Hedwig seems to miss being able to fly around. I think she might have gotten out of her cage.”
-------------------------------------------------------------
“Oh, I’m sorry Mrs.Weasley-”
--------------------------------------------------------------
“Molly, and don’t be sorry dear.”
-------------------------------------------------------------
“Why were you all laughing?” Harry asked, still a bit confused.
--------------------------------------------------------------
“Well Harry you do look a bit funny having apparated straight from your bed I guess? And maybe because of the fact that you’ve only got one eyebrow, you seem to have misplaced the other.” Hermione explained and they all cracked up laughing again.
---------------------------------------------------------------
“Now that’s enough form all of you. Harry don’t worry it happens, you’ve just woken up, to be able to apparate is remarkable. Now let’s go find your other eyebrow dear.” She said sweetly and they both left. Harry feeling thoroughly embarrassed.

-------------------------------------------------------------

“Blimey, Harry!” Ron stared at Harry open mouthed. He had just told Ron and Hermione what had happened the night before during his discussion with Dumbledore.
-------------------------------------------------------------
“Why didn’t they tell you this before?” Ron asked, coming to his senses.
--------------------------------------------------------------
“Well, Ron it’s obvious. There hasn’t been the right time to tell Harry until he’s found out as much as he can by Voldermort and his past and how he reacts to things.” She said wisely “I think last years lessons with Dumbledore prepared you for this.” She explained to Harry.
-------------------------------------------------------------
“Yeah but I still don’t get why Dumbledore hadn’t told me anything during the past years.”
-------------------------------------------------------------
“Well think about it Harry, during the first and second year you would have been a bit too young for this information and maybe during the third you weren’t quite ready. The fourth year everyone was busy with the Triwizard Tournament-”
“Yeah but after that I spoke to Dumbledore” Harry interjected “And he never told me then”
----------------------------------------------------------------
“Well” continued Hermione patiently “Was that really the best time to tell you when you just got over the shock of Cedrics death?”
--------------------------------------------------------------
“Er. No I suppose not” agreed Harry
“Right, well during the fifth year he hadn’t even looked you in the eye because Voldermort was trying to do Lelligmacy against you.” Harry for this first time shivered, remembering that year and what had happened in his dreams; what he had put everyone through…how Sirius died.
-----------------------------------------------------------
“Last year” Hermione continued apparently not noticing Harry deep in thought. “He had to teach you about the Horcruxes before getting into anything else.”
--------------------------------------------------------------
“Yeah, I guess you’re right Hermione.” And he gratefully smiled at her for it was bothering him why Dumbledore hadn’t told him some of the information earlier.

----------------------------------------------------------------

A few uneventful weeks had passed ending the month of August with a lazy atmosphere inside Grimmauld Place, although inside Harry’s mind was another matter. He had been pondering over Dumbledore’s words and thinking in frustration how he is supposed to figure this out on his own! Hermione and Ron were trying to help but so far that proved unsuccessful. He also had the matter of finding out the last Horcrux and making sure Dumbledore’s suspicion about the other two was right. The order was helping him with that as much as possible but so far nothing came up. The fake locket still mocked him, as he remembered the night Dumbledore died and how the might not have happened had they known the locket was fake, or had it been real then Dumbledore weakening his body wouldn’t have been wasted. As he thought an idea struck him, one of suspected Horcruxes’ was Hufflepuff’s cup; Harry thought it must be in the castle, so they should search the castle. It was so simple he felt himself stupid for not thinking of it before. He went to tell Dumbledore about his idea
---------------------------------------------------------------
“Harry I am one step ahead of you, the castle has been searched high and low with no trace of the cup. Although I did find an old hat I lost many years ago…” Dumbledore gave small laugh and even Harry smiled although he hadn’t gotten any closer to finding a Horcrux.

--------------------------------------------------------------

More weeks went by and Harry still didn’t find anything about the Horcrux’s, or what Dumbledore had told him that late night has to do with helping him. He went to Dumbledore again asking what it meant but Dumbledore said he only needed to know when he had found every Horcrux. Harry had a bit of an idea how to go about the final Horcrux which was Nagini Voldermorts snake. He had thought it out and knew that after he found and destroyed the others he would have to find Voldermort himself who he knew would be accompanied by Nagini. He would kill Nagini making Voldermort a mortal and then it would be one against the other. The plan sounded so simple when he thought it out in his head but it’s different when he actually has to do something about it…
