Harry Potter: Shadows of Tomorrow

"Because he's an idiot" Ron stabbed his food "he says the ministry has got everyone's best interest in mind and he doesn't believe that you-know-who is back."

"Why not? Dumbledore himself said he was"

"I know but he says there's no proof, and he said that because Harry never said he was back he has no reason to believe Dumbledore"

"Harry" Hermione turned to him "why don't you tell people what happened?"

"Why don't you?" Harry replied

"I wasn't there!"

"Not my fault" Harry shrugged, taking delight in the now twitching eye of Hermione

"Harry" Hermione had managed to stop twitching "why won't you tell everyone what you saw?"

"Because I don't want to tell people what I saw" Harry replied "but I know someone who does"

"Who?" Hermione asked

"Him" Harry pointed at her food, Hermione looked down to find a snake on the table next to her food. Molly and Ron shrieked as they jumped out of their chairs, Hermione also jumped back. The snake slid up the table to Harry and climbed onto his shoulders. "I forgot that I left him here on my last visit. You remember Emerald?"

"Harry, get rid of that snake" Molly barked

"Nah" Harry stoked Emeralds head, Emerald slithered down and then wrapped himself around Ginny's arm.

"Ginny" Mrs Weasley looked like she was about to burst a blood vessel "get rid of the snake, they're dark creatures."

"No they're not" Ginny smiled "at least not all of them, this is Emerald, he's Harrys pet"

"I've had him since I was eight" Harry smiled, he looked at Emerald. Mrs Weasley was about to say something but then she became silent when she saw Harry hissing at the snake. He looked to be having a conversation with it. "Sirius, Emerald says he found a rat but he ate it for you"

"Thank him for me" Sirius smiled, taking joy in Arthurs curiosity and Mrs Wesley's discomfort. Harry relayed the message, Emerald actually bowed his head to Sirius.

"You…you're…a…parslemouth?" Mrs Weasley just about got out

"Yes, I would've thought that Ron would've told you"

"He did" Mr Weasley spoke up "we just didn't believe him, how long have you known you were a parslemouth Harry?"

"Since I was eight" Harry answered

"You're a parslemouth?!" Mrs Weasley screamed

"Wow you're slow" Harry sighed "yes I am, I am a parslemouth and I like snakes."

"But only dark wizards can be parslemouths!"

"Nope, well, Voldermort was one" Mrs Weasley shivered "but so was Salazar Slytherin, admittedly he didn't like muggles but there was no proof that he killed them, so there is at least one none evil parslemouth, two if you count me"

"But…but" Mrs Weasley seemed to try and think of an argument

"Mrs Weasley" Sirius spoke in serious voice "I hope you're not about to accuse my godson of being dark, right after I had invited you into my home"

No…I…no I wasn't" She bowed her head

"Good" Harry stood up and grabbed Ginny's hand when she stood up "me and the wife are going to sleep now"

"Together?" Mrs Weasley raised her head back up

"That is typically how husband and wife sleep, mother" Ginny responded

"Absolutely not!"

"Mrs Weasley!" Harry raised his voice "can I remind you that you're a guest in this house and should refrain from raising your voice. Kreatcher, if she shouts at me, Ginny or Sirius then throw her out immediately"

"Yes master" Kreatcher nodded

"You wouldn't" Molly stared with wide eyes

"Well it seems that talking politely doesn't shut you up so I figured it'd be best to go for a stronger approach" Harry replied. Molly, Ron and Hermione all had their jaws dropped while the twins, Arthur and Sirius were trying not to giggle or laugh. Ginny wanted to laugh at her mother's expression bur decided to let Harry finish first.

"Now you may be Ginny's mother" Harry continued "but that does not make you in charge. This is not your house, legally me and Ginny are considered of age and the only person who can tell me what to do is Ginny"

"And the only person who can tell me what to do is Harry" Ginny spoke next "he is my husband and if we want to share a bed then we bloody well can"

"Language" Hermione scolded

"SHUT UP HERMIONE!" The couple shouted at her and she shrunk back into her seat.

"In simple terms" Harry took a breath "you don't tell us what to do, raise your voice at us again and you will be thrown out. Consider it a good learning experience for you, you shout too much, even Ron agrees"

"What?" Ron shouted, he had never said that. But before he could object Harry continued talking.

"Besides, all this shouting, it isn't….hmm, what isn't it Ginny?" Ginny placed a finger on her chin, to look like she was trying to think.

"I know" She smiled "it isn't…'lady-like'" Molly looked furious "now if you'll excuse me, me and my husband are going to sleep. Kreatcher if anyone disturbs us you have our full permission to throw them out and snap their wands"

"Yes mistress" Kreatcher smiled, he looked over all the people at the table, almost daring them to disturb his master and mistress.

"Good night all" Harry and Ginny said together before going upstairs to sleep.

"Goodnight kiddo" Sirius called out, before returning to his plate "oh how I love those two. Kreatcher, well done, this food is excellent"

"Thank you master" Kreatcher bowed

"Sirius he can't be serious" Molly turned to him

"He's not, I'm Sirius" Sirius joked before he turned to Kreatcher "Kreatcher, those orders that Harry and Ginny gave to you"

"Yes master?"

"I expect you to enforce them fully with all the effort you can muster" Molly was about to shout but saw Kreatcher look at her with anticipation

"But Sirius" She said in a strained voice "you can't honestly be okay with this?"

"Molly, when Harry was born I promised myself that I would do my best to make him happy. From what I've seen he's at his happiest when Ginny's around, I agree with wanting them to wait until they're older but what's done is done. And I am not about to deprive Harry of his right to sleep in the same bed with his wife."

"But Sirius"

"No Molly" Sirius stood up "I am not budging on this, I made a mistake when I chased Pettigrew and got sent to Azkaban for all of those years. Because of that Harry had to suffer under the hands of his relatives, I had failed as a man and as his godfather. If I have to kill myself to make up for it then I will, my priority is keeping Harry happy. If he wants to live on his own with Ginny he can, if he wants to sleep in a bed with her than he can. They're married and I trust him to be responsible and care for her"

"But she's my daughter" Molly argued
