27Chapter 5 – Long Awaited Tale
Warning Mild Child Abuse!
All eyes and ears were focused on Harry and Cassy. They were seated at one end of the old long table and the others were watching them with rapt attention, waiting to hear the mystery that was Harry and Cassy's lives.
Harry took a deep breath. "Go on then. Ask what you want"
Albus silenced the others with a look. Too many people questioning the pair would be confusing and he needed to hear their stories without mistake. Charlie conjured a quill and parchment to write notes and seeing this Albus asked his first question.
"Why did you leave Harry?"
Harry's eyes turned darker as he remembered a time that he had long forgot. He squeezed Cassy's hand, as she was glaring in her seat at Dumbledore's question. Slowly raising his eyes to look in to the wise blue ones Harry answered. "The real question is why I wouldn't?"
(Flashback)
"USELESS FILTH! I DON'T KNOW WHY WE TOOK YOU IN BOY! BUT THE LEAST YOU CAN DO IS FINISH THESE DAMN CHORES!"
A six year old Harry Potter flinched as his whale of an Uncle slammed the front door shut on his way out. Looking down at the long list of jobs he had to do, he felt the tears sting his eyes.
"Well you heard your Uncle, you better get them jobs done and DON'T let me find you doing any freakishness!"
Whirling around Harry hastily rubbed away the few tears that had fell and nodded respectfully to his Aunt. "Yes Aunt Petunia"
With a final sneer, Petunia stormed off into the kitchen muttering threats under her breath.
Harry looked at the list again. It was a lot to get done by 5'o clock.

Sighing sadly to himself, Harry trudged up the stairs to start on his first job.
Six hours later and Harry could be found kneeling next to Petunias' flower bed. His little fingers were sore and bled from the thorns on the roses and his eyes were watering in pain from having to pull the nettles out with his bare hands. It was 5 o'clock and he knew that he had minutes to spare before his Uncle returned. Even if he was almost done, he knew that his Uncle would show no mercy. It had been a few weeks since he had last been in real trouble, lately he had just been thrown into his cupboard under the stairs.
Suddenly, Harry sprang up standing rigid. He could hear his Uncle's car coming round the corner; he had learnt to tell it apart from the rest and he had learned to dread the sound. Seeing the Red Company Car round the corner, Harry's eyes flicked to the obvious half finished job of his weeding.
Vernon looked out of the window as he parked the car in the driveway and sneered. He had gone to the pub after work as usual and was drunk. There was the boy standing there practically pissing his pants. Weak, pathetic freak. Seeing Petunia's flowers still covered in weeds, Vernon growled in his drunken stupor and clambered out the car slamming the door hard.
Harry seeing his Uncle's fury, whimpered backing when Vernon stumbled towards him; hands reached out to grab the boy. Harry looked around helplessly, but there was no one there. No one knew him and he had no friends. Therefore there wasn't anyone to hear his cry of fear as his Uncle grabbed his shirt pulling off the floor towards his face by the collar. Harry kicked his legs uselessly as his Uncle glared at the young boy and growled in a low voice. "I've had it with you boy! It's time you learned a lesson you'll never forget!"
With that Vernon shook Harry hard, causing the boys broken glasses to fly off and land on the freshly mown lawn. Harry pleaded as his uncle dragged him by the hair into the house and tried in vain to grab onto anything in the hallway.
Petunia looked up from her magazine and Dudley from his video game as Vernon came in to the living room; struggling Harry being dragged behind him. Dudley smirked gleefully and pushed the glass coffee table against the wall to make room for his Dad, while Petunia tsked at her drunken husband before going back to her gossip pages. "Do try to not make a mess Vernon"
Vernon grunted before pulling his right arm up hard, dragging Harry in front of him. Harry looked round the room to see Dudley settling in a chair giggling at Harry's exspense. "LISTEN HERE BRAT!" Harry's fearful gaze instantly landed on his Uncle angered face. "YOU LIVE MY ROOF! SO WHEN I TELL YOU SOMETHING, YOU DAMN WELL MAKE SURE YOU DO IT! YOU HEAR ME!"
Harry tried to nod but cried out when his Uncle's grip tightened. "Please...STOP...I'm Sorry!"
Laughing darkly Vernon agreed. "YOU WILL BE!" With that he threw Harry into the wall, a fist full of black hair still in his hand.
Harry's shout was cut short as he slammed onto the wall. Unfortunately, the glass table had been moved right under where Harry was slammed into and Harry fell right through it. Petunia stood up shrieking. "VERNON! I SAID NO MESS! THAT WAS AN ANTIQUE AND DO YOU REALIZE HOW LONG IT'LL TAKE ME TO GET THE BLOOD OUT THE CARPET!"
Harry lay listening amongst the shattered pieces of glass. He could fell pieces stuck in his back and as he rolled over he groaned as more went into his sides and hands.
"Don't worry Petunia we'll get you new carpet and a better coffee table"
Dudley jumped in to help his Dad. "Yeah Mom, Dad will fix it. Just like he's fixing the freak"
Vernon laughed proudly and patted his son clumsily on the head. Petunia satisfied retook her seat.
Harry dragged himself out from under the frame of the table; pain flaring from all over his small body. A sudden kick to the gut made Harry curl into a ball in agony and Vernon nudged him over onto his back with his foot. Harry could see stars as each shard of glass was forced deeper into his body.
"WHERE ARE YOU GOING YOU LITTLE SHIT? YOU'RE NEVER LEAVING THIS HOUSE! IN FACT I'LL MAKE SURE YOU KNOW WHO YOU BELONG TO!"
Walking over to the fireplace Vernon picked up the antique stoker that Marge had got them from Brazil and placed it in the fire. On the end was a image of a Phoenix and the Dursleys watched as it slowly turned bright red. Harry could hardly move and he stared in horrified fear, he didn't know what his Uncle was going to do but he knew it was going to hurt.
"Right then boy" Vernon carefully picked up the smoking hot stoker. "This'll make sure you always know where you really belong" At this Vernon lunged at Harry gripping the small boys right arm.
"NO...UNCLE VERNON...PLEASE...ARGH!" Harry's pleas were cut short by the boy screams. Vernon had placed the stoker on the inside of Harry's right wrist and over the cries, the sound of sizzling flesh could be heard.
Petunia wrinkled her nose distastefully at the smell and Dudley was leaning forward a little in his seat to get a better look.
Vernon lifted the stoker to see an angry red phoenix shaped burn marking the boys flesh. Before Harry could even recover Vernon grabbed his other wrist pressing the phoenix design hard into the skin.
Harry couldn't take anymore. He could feel his skin melting and molding to the phoenix shape. The pain was unbearable and Harry could feel himself slowly sliding into the blackness that swam at the edges of his vision. But there was something building he could feel it. It was swelling in his chest and pushing away the pain. Vernon was shocked when he pulled the stoker away to see it glowing bright red. Glancing at the other one he saw that it was glowing a deep red too. The boy's face rose slowly and Vernon saw that the boys eyes had turned black. Feeling a fear that he hadn't felt since his own childhood, Vernon scrambled back from Harry and grabbed Petunia and Dudley, dragging them towards the living room door.
Upon reaching it, the door swung shut in their faces.
"You're not going anywhere!"
The Dursleys turned to see Harry standing in the centre of the room. His arms were hanging down at his sides at an angle. The phoenix burns on his arms were still glowing and his eyes were endless black pools. The Dursleys watched in fear as all the glass in the boy's body was pushed out and was buried into the walls. Ducking to dodge the flying glass, the family could only cling to each other in fear as Harry opened his mouth to speak.
"WHAT DID I EVER DO TO YOU?!" With that an explosion erupted from Harry's wrists, destroying everything in its path. Including the Dursleys.
(END OF FLASHBACK)
"And then I woke up and they were dead. Everything was destroyed and I didn't understand what had happened"
As Harry finished his story everyone in the room looked horrified at him. How could anyone treat a child that way? Dumbledore gazed gravely at the green eyed teen. "Harry my boy, I am so very sorry"
Harry cleared his throat awkwardly, avoiding eye contacting with everyone. "I doesn't even matter any-"
"What!" Cassy sat forward scoffing, forcing Harry to look at her by holding his chin. "It doesn't matter! Haz what they did wasn't right!"
"I know" he admitted.
"No you don't. Not if you think that!" She sighed placing Harry's hand on her stomach and hers on top for comfort.
"Cassy's right Harry and I'm so terribly sorry that you had to go through that." Dumbledore had laced his fingers in front of him on the table. "It's my fault you were there in the first place"
Harry nodded, he already knew that. "I know" he repeated.
Recovering from the shock of Harry's story, Remus shook his head confused. "How would you know that?"
"We have our ways" answered Cassy mysteriously.
Everyone jumped suddenly in their seats, as Sirius slammed his fist on the table in anger. "If only I could get my hands on Dursley!" he growled.
Raising his eyebrows Harry leaned towards Sirius, who was sat a few seats to the right. "Why? How does this involve you?"
"Err..." Sirius looked to Dumbledore and he nodded his head in permission. Harry raised an eyebrow at Sirius. "That's because I'm your Godfather Harry"
Cassy's mouth fell open and Harry's eyes went wide. He had a Godfather. A Guardian. Still gaping Harry opened his mouth to say something, but unable to find a thing to say just closed it again in shock.
"HA!" Cassy's bark of laughter made everyone jump again. Most were confused. What was funny?
Cassy continued to laugh even as Harry gave her an exasperated gaze. "Ha! Oh dear god!"
Fred and George had forming grins on their faces; they liked to be in on jokes.
"You know what this means Haz?!" Cassy giggled hysterically before answering her own question. "You have a legal Guardian, a PARENT!" she snorted, before slapping her hand over he mouth. Many people at the table were smiling or laughing and Harry could understand that, Cassy's laughter was contagious.
Harry groaned. "Don't say it Cassy"
"You can't do what you want anymore!" With that Cassy went into a fit of laughter, burying her head into Harry's shoulder to stifle them.
"Why is that funny?" asked Hermione, asking the question everyone wanted to know.
Rolling his eyes at his girlfriend, Harry answered her. "Personal joke, because we've stayed with plenty of adults before and they always want to take us in when it's time for us to leave."
Cassy surfaced from Harry's shoulder wiping tears from her eyes. "But we always refuse you know why?" She focused on the teens.
Curious Ginny answered. "No"
"Well what does living with an adult equal?"
"Food?" provided Ron.
"A house?" inquired Hermione.
Harry shook his head. "Rules, adults equal rules"
The teens all laughed in agreement. That was true.
"And rules are one thing we don't live by. Cassy finds it funny because we've been declining offers for so long and it seems like I've already had a Guardian all this time" groaned Harry, Cassy patted his head sympathetically.
Sirius leaned forward in his seat to get a better look at Harry. "It's not like that Harry"
Harry just shook his head. "It always is. But can we talk more about this later?"
Dumbledore nodded. "I agree. I have more questions that I need to ask you" His twinkling blue eyes focused on Cassy's unusual lilac ones. "Where do you come from Cassy?"
"Me" she began quietly. "I don't know where I come from, just that my parents are dead. I don't remember much about them, but I know they were wizards that had learnt to live as muggles" Harry placed on arm on the back of her chair in comfort. "My name is actually Cassandra, last name unknown. My parent we're killed by death eaters, so I was sent to an Orphanage" Dumbledore's interest was peaked, he remember the last child he had met that lived in an orphanage.
At the word Orphanage, all eyes had softened in pity. Cassy's eyes this time welled with tears of sorrow. "It wasn't as bad as Harry's childhood, but it was my own personal hell"
(FLASHBACK)
The old swing creaked as a young six year old Cassy rocked back and forth. Silent tears ran down her face, only to well back up again in her beautiful lilac eyes. She didn't understand why everyone was so horrible to her. What had she done? Cassy had been at the orphanage for a few months so far and since the day she got here a older girl of ten had rounded the children up to bully her.
They taunts were met with silence. Cassy had been found crying in her bedroom, her brutally murdered parents downstairs, her mind had locked away the horrific event from her mind and she hardly remembered anything about her life before. Since then Cassy had hardly spoke a word to anyone, except Mrs. Gates the woman that ran the orphanage. The kids took every opportunity to get Cassy to speak. They threw food in her hair, tripped her up in the halls, took her stuff so she might ask where they were, hit her and called her names. Mrs. Gates tried her hardest to keep the sweet girl safe and happy, but with only two other staff members she had to help look after fifty kids.
Cassy stopped swinging when she heard voices behind her.
"Hey look! It's the mute!"
Cassy sighed quietly. It was Mark, a boy who followed Annabelle the girl who had started the bullying. He had a group of boys and girls following him. They were pointing at her.
"Hey Mute! Can you say I'm a freak! Ha"
Cassy wiped her tears away, as they all came to stand in front of her. Mark walked forward to stand right in her face. "Got nothing to say?" he whispered menacingly.
Turning from the pathetic little girl in front of him, Mark thought of a plan to show off in front of his friends. "Alright then" He picked up a hand full of wet sloppy mud. It had rained earlier. "You speak or you get this at your face" The boys and girls laughed, egging Mark on.
Cassy didn't know what to do. She hated when these kids took the mick out of her, but what could she do Mrs. Gates wasn't anywhere in sight. Cassy knew that she could speak; it was just that she wouldn't and her brain wouldn't let her remember why.
Mark was getting angry; the mute was standing there staring as usual. He pulled his arm back. "Last warning"
Cassy just blinked sadly at him from her seat.
"Fine then, FREAK!" huffing he threw the large handful slopping mud at Cassy, who flinched when the slop splattered on her face, sticking in her black locks and smearing her in horrible brown gloop. "What do you have to say now?"
Cassy wiped mud from her eyes before glaring at Mark. Enough was enough! Suddenly a memory was brought to the front of Cassy's mind, of her mother holding a special stick and saying a spell. Raising a hand at the laughing children Cassy shouted. "STUPEFY!"
She then froze in shock as all the children collapsed. Gasping Cassy ran to Mark and remember what she had read in a book, she checked for a pulse, thankful when she found done. After checking everyone, Cassy began to tremble in fear. What had she done? What if they never woke up?! Scared at what would happen to her Cassy made a decision.
'I'm going to leave' she thought to herself. Another memory came to her mind; it was her father summoning his coffee from the kitchen. Once again Cassy raised her hand and spoke the magic word she heard he father say. "Accio Mrs. Gates money jar"
The jar was all the money that had been donated to the orphanage that month. Cassy knew that the money was needed, but she needed it more. So she was happy when she saw the jar zoom out of the upstairs window and caught it when it flew to her. Cassy had counted the money the other day for Mrs. Gates as a way to stay in at lunch and she knew it had at least £100 in it.
Pulling out the pile of notes, Cassy smoothed down the dress she was wearing before running to the main gates as fast as her little legs could carry her. Hearing Mrs. Gate call everyone in from dinner break, she quickly slipped through the gate. It wasn't locked, because none of the children would think about running away when they had no where else to go.
Walking down the street, Cassy sped up as she heard Mrs. Gates ear splitting screech. She must have found Mark and his friends.
(END OF FLASHBACK)
Cassy shrugged at the end of the story. "I was just a little girl, you know. I couldn't imagine what my life would be like when I left that place, but I'd still leave for the good things that came out of it."
The looks of sympathy turned to warm smiles as Cassy kissed Harry affectionately on the cheek. Harry wrinkled his face in mock disgust, wiping his cheek with the back of his hand. Cassy gasped playfully and grabbed Harry's face planting a big kiss where he had wiped, giving a "Mwah!" when she was done. "Now wipe that off"
Rolling his eyes at everyone as they laughed or smiled, Harry turned his piercing gaze on Cassy. Only he could see in her eyes that she was as affected as him in having to tell her story. He gave her a loving smile, that made her insides melt and instantly she felt better. They turned back to the table. Charlie was writing notes on the parchment of Harry and Cassy's story, while Bill gave him reminders of anything he many have forgot.
When a few soft tinkling sounds were heard, eyes flicked to Kingsley who raised a bracelet to his lips and pressed a finger to his ear piece. "Kingsley speaking" Tonks and the other order members, including Albus raised fingers to their earpieces to listen to the conversation. The teens and Mrs. Weasley watched them.
All the listening Order members were concentrating intensely, before nodding simultaneously and lowering their fingers. All looked at Albus.
"Right you heard what he said. Kingsley I want you to take your group and be on offence. Protect make sure they don't get far in their attack."
Kingsley nodded in assent and indicated for Bill, Charlie, Tonks, Remus and Sirius to follow him out the room. Charlie handed his notes to Dumbledore before exiting and before leaving Sirius turned in the doorway to Harry. "I'll talk to you when I get back Harry, yeah?"
Harry grimaced slightly before answering. "Err...Yeah, whatever"
Sirius frowned at Harry's answer before sadly leaving. Dumbledore continued with his orders.
"Alastor, take Arthur and contact the rest of the Order, tell them what's happened. I want you to start on the protective wards and find out if there are any wizards in the area, maybe they can help."
Moody grunted hobbling out the room and Arthur kissed his wife on the cheek and waved to his children before leaving. Mrs. Weasley followed to see everyone out and saying she was going to make sure rooms were ready for when they got back.
"Mundungus take Fred and George and take them to your contacts. I want to know how they found out where he was living."
Dung looked at Harry and Cassy, a silent message in his eyes, before beckoning to the twins to follow him.
Harry cast a questioning glance at Cassy, who shrugged. Seeing this Dumbledore turned his attention to Harry and Cassy. "I'm afraid that there is a Death Eater attack happening"
Sitting up straight and adrenaline pumping, Harry's face turned serious. "Where?"
Sighing Albus answered. "Somehow they've found out where you were. They're attacking Manchester"
The left over teens had horrified expressions on their faces and sent sympathetic smiles at Harry and Cassy. Harry's jaw clenched and Cassy's mouth had fallen open and she stuttered a response.
"B-but...How?!" Dumbledore went to answer her, but she continued her voice rising slightly. "How is everyone finding us Haz?! First the Order now god damn Voldemort!" She tutted when the teens flinched, before gasping. "Oh my god! Haz, what about Jenny!"
Harry, who had been in deep thought, squeezed Cassy's hand in reassurance. "Jen can take care of herself."
Cassy shook her head. "Dumbledore, what exactly is happening in Manchester? Who has the Dark Dick Head sent?" All eyes widened except Harry's at the Dark Lords nickname.
"Dumbledore shuffled the notes Charlie had handed him, Charlie had scribbled some stuff about the message they had all received on the attack.
"Voldemort has sent between 30 and 20 Death Eaters, Greyback included and a few of his werewolf followers. There are reports of a few Dementors there too. They're destroying everything in their path to find you; luckily you're not there anymore"
"LUCKY!" Shouted Harry. "I don't know about you but a person dying for my expense is not lucky" Rising Harry put on his jacket that he had taken off during dinner.
Cassy did not like this and she stood up grabbing his arm. "Where are you going?!"
"To help" said Harry not even looking at her; he knew what she would say and he made his way to leave.
"Mr. Potter I must –"started Dumbledore but was interrupted again by Cassy. Ron laughed; he had never seen someone interrupt the Headmaster so much.
"Ha! I don't think so" she had pulled on his arm as he made to leave, dragging him backwards. Harry huffed, turning to Cassy a retort fresh on his tongue.
"What are you doing?!" He was furious, but Cassy didn't care.
Cassy threw his question right back at him. "What are you doing?"
Finally turning to her, Harry felt his infamous anger flare. "I'm going to help obviously" He hated when she did this. Dumbledore and the teens watched the couple have their little argument, they didn't want to interrupt.
"Don't OBVIOUSLY me!" fumed Cassy pointing a manicured finger in Harry's face; she calmed her anger when she again noticed the tired bags under Harry's eyes. "Haz please, you're exhausted and you know it. Plus! You've just got back, don't leave me"
Harry groaned, looking at everyone but Cassy; he knew her eyes would be his downfall. "I'm not tired! I'm fine" he answered stubbornly.
Cassy just placed her hands on his face in response, forcing him to look at her. She could feel his magic, it was so familiar that she could feel it without touch, but it helped to enhance the gift. The warmth spread through her heart and she could feel that his reserves were low; Harry must've used some seriously flashy magic to convince the Vampires he could protect them if they helped. "I see you"
Harry laughed once at the quote from a movie he had taken Cassy to see before he left and shook his head in her hands, Cassy always won. Ron and Ginny looked confused, but Hermione having seen the film grinned widely.
Looking up at the sky Harry sighed in reluctance before scooping Cassy up in his arms. "Fine! Next time though, I go" he said from where his head was positioned in Cassy's neck.
Seeing the two were done, Albus raised from his seat ready to leave. "I must be going. Cassy if we come across a Jenny we shall bring her here" Cassy smiled thankfully over Harry's shoulder, waving as Dumbledore and his twinkling eyes left.
Cassy could feel Harry slumping against her and smiled smugly. She knew he was tired. Unfortunately for her, Harry was also bigger than Cassy and she could feel his weight starting to take its toll as he leaned into her more. "Err...Harry?"
Her voice seemed to wake him up little and she could feel his lips vibrated against her shoulder as he hummed to answer. "Told you, you were tired"
Blowing a raspberry on Cassy's shoulder, Harry finally raised his head to see he teasing smile. "Shut up! It's not my fault you're comfy."
Ginny smiled at the pair, it was strange how she found this love beautiful but her brother and Hermione's repulsive. Glancing at the two sat beside her, Ginny grimaced at how they were talking quietly to each other closely. Yeah, still disgusting.
Hermione rose from her seat. "Shall we go upstairs? We can all stay in the large bedroom. It only has four beds, but I don' think you'll mind sharing would you?" She asked Harry and Cassy.
Harry raised an eyebrow at the thought of sharing a room with others. Sleeping without Cassy for two weeks left him with certain...urges. Cassy smacked him round the head, with a laugh. "I know what your thinking Harry" Harry smirked guiltily and Cassy answered Hermione's question. "That's a good idea Hermione"
Upstairs' in the bedroom.
Half an hour later all the teens could be found in the upstairs bedroom. It had 3 single beds and a double, which Ginny had explained Sirius had said were for when family used to visit in his childhood. The three single beds were along one wall and the double in the centre of the wall opposite, so all the teens could see each other. The bedroom was decorated with green and silver and the walls were lined with black wall paper. All in all, the bedroom had a dark air to it, which was why Hermione was explaining about Sirius' family.
"-so that's why everything has a Slytherin feel to it" finished Hermione. She was laying on her back on the middle bed with Ron beside her.
Cassy who was sat on the double bed in between Harry's legs and playing with his fingers nodded, finally understanding. Harry had his head resting back against the headboard; he was fast asleep, breathing deeply.
Ginny leaned up on her elbow from the bed next to Ron and Hermione. "He's out like a light" she pointed out, drawing the teens next to her to look at the black haired boy.
Cassy looked over her left shoulder and smiled before leaning back fully onto Harry. "I did tell him"
"Why is he so drained?" asked Ron quietly, he didn't want to wake Harry.
Cassy took breath thinking. She decided to tell them something, Cassy knew everything she said would be repeated to the Order. "He went away because Voldemort was trying to recruit Vampires" The others gasped, if Voldemort had the Vampires, the fight to come would be even worse.
Cassy grimaced at their reactions. "Yeah, that's what we were like when we found out. Anyway, you may not know this but the Vampires don't want to join the snake face, so they've gone into hiding in the least expected place."
"Where's that" inquired Hermione.
"Well, Vampire's supposedly hate warmth and light right?" The junior Order members nodded. "So they went somewhere that is hot and is bright. There's also hardly any caves and stuff for them to hide, but they managed. They went to Australia."
"Oh I've been there!" Exclaimed Hermione; "You're right. It's so hot and sunny all day."
"Shhh" Ginny quickly quieted Hermione's excited tone. "Harry's asleep"
Cassy laughed. "Haz won't wake. He's dead to the world." She emphasized this by waving Harry's limp hands about in the air in front of her, making the teens laugh.
Ron thought of something. "I would've thought that Harry Potter would be a light sleeper. You know, jumping awake at every threatening sound"
Cassy pondered this. "Well not really...actually...hmm..." She thought for a second. "It depends really on where we are, if we're safe and even though he won't admit it, he knows were safe. Then he'll be out like a light." She used Ginny's phrase from earlier. "But if were on a mission, he doesn't really sleep, nor do I really, and if we do then yeah we're awake at every sound. Can't be surprised though, he used a lot of magic to put all kinds of protective spells on them Vamps"
Ginny sat up. "He's protecting them?"
"Yeah, it's part of the deal. They'll fight for us if we can ensure untill then they will be safe and can come back to Britain."
Hermione, who was all about fairness, couldn't agree more. "Well that's fair I guess. You give something and they'll give it back"
"Yeah I suppose. Still it'll be a few days 'till Harry builds his magic back up to where it was" As she said this, Cassy had closed her eyes and concentrated on Harry's magic, feeling how low it was.
The three teens watched in awe, understanding what she was doing. Ginny voiced her thought. "It must be amazing to be able to feel that"
Cassy placed her and Harry's hands on her stomach. "It is" she said without opening her eyes. The baby always made her feel tired and with Harry back Cassy felt herself drifting off.
The three teens watched as Cassy drifted off to sleep and Ron turned off the light in the room, before moving got his bed. His mom would have a fit if she came up to see him sleeping in the same bed as Hermione. Even though they were all fully dressed, they didn't want to disturb the sleeping pair.
"Goodnight guys" whispered Hermione.
"Night" answered Ron and Ginny.
With that they all closed their eyes, drifting off to sleep at different times. Tomorrow would be as hectic as today.
