Harry Potter The Kiss

Harry called for Dobby and they both appeared in the lobby of St Mungo's to be faced with a very irate male receptionist with a rather large bruise on his jaw.

"Your elf attacked me!" he shouted

"Why would Dobby attack you?" asked Harry

"I just told him we don't treat his kind here so he had to leave when…"

The "when" was when Harry punched him, he'd been fighting to control his temper and now here was a perfect excuse to let it go, boy did he let it go.

As the arsehole hit the deck a doctor entered, stepped over his fallen colleague and went to greet the newly arrived goblin medics with their supplies. Now there was a future Stag Industries employee thought Harry.

They hurried to the suite of rooms and the first bed they came to was Winky's and she didn't look good.

Dobby sat down beside her and placed his hands on her forehead and chest, they emitted a golden glow as Dobby fed his magic into Winky. Five elves entered the room and placed their hands on Dobby, allowing him to siphon off some of their magic and pass it onto Winky.

Harry watched for a few minutes as elves came to make their donation and left until Dobby sat back exhausted but leaving Winky looking a lot better.

The last elves left before Harry asked, "why didn't the other elves just give their magic to Winky?"

Dobby gave a sad smile, "Giving your magic to another being can have consequences but when they give it to me to transfer they don't face any, as part of my best elf speech today I was going to ask Winky to be my life mate."

Dobby thought for a minute before he quietly asked, "Harry, if anything happens to Winky will you bind me as a house elf? Otherwise I will hunt down and kill everyone involved in this and that's not behaviour becoming to an elf."

Harry replied just as quietly, "Dobby my friend, the people who did this are already dead, they just don't know it yet. Is there any way I can donate some of my magic to Winky?"

Dobby nodded while replacing his hands on Winky, "place your hands on my shoulder and just think what Winky means to you while letting your magic go."

Harry placed his hands on Dobby's shoulders, closed his eyes and thought of Winky pushing Hermione away from Ron's curse then throwing herself to protect Ginny today when he heard a voice shout "Harry stop!"

Harry lifted his hands and opened his eyes to see a fatigued Dobby but a glowing Winky.

Dobby staggered off his chair and embraced Harry with tears in his eyes, "thank you, she'll make it now." He sobbed

Harry was crying to as he hugged his friend, "she would do the same and more for any of us and you know it. You've got an exceptional elf their Dobby so make sure you ask her the first chance you get. That's an order Dobby!" he said jokingly.

Dobby managed a laugh as he replied, "Yes my lord Gryffindor, it's my duty to obey and may all your orders be as pleasant as that one."

Harry left to enter the next room finding Ginny sitting up in bed with her brothers all around her.

Harry was so surprised that he had his arms round her before even realising he'd moved from the doorway while Ginny cried her eyes out into his chest.

"Oh Harry, they told me you were ok but I had to see it for myself, where's Hermione? how's Winky and Neville?"

"Hey, slow down there. Hermione's fine, I've just left Winky and we think she's going to be ok while Neville is next on my list after you, how are you feeling?"

"Oh thank Merlin Winky's going to be alright, I was so scared she'd die saving me." She was sobbing with relief now.

Bill had to answer for her, "she's going to be fine Harry, she needs to stay in bed for an hour while the blood replenishing potion works then she can go home. Winky took the brunt of it."

Harry disentangled himself and promised to return with Hermione to take her home later.

Harry and Hermione were in continual contact through their bond so she was now aware of Winky and Ginny's conditions but it hadn't improved her feelings one bit.

Hermione was in pain and Harry was desperate to get to her but both knew this had to be done. The reason for her pain was lying face down on a bed and they understood Harry couldn't help there so he went to see Neville.

He entered Neville's room to find his grandmother sitting by his bedside; she'd been part of the congregation and had luckily been sitting far enough back to remain unscathed.

"Madam Longbottom I'm so sorry."

She held her hand up to stop Harry saying anymore.

"Lord Potter today I saw my grandson the happiest I've ever seen him. He was so proud to stand by your side and has great admiration for your wife. I spoke to him for a minute and he told me he was courting your adopted daughter and was going to introduce us after the ceremony. Today I saw the fine man my grandson would become and for that I thank you. Neville lying here is not your fault because my generation must share the blame for what we allowed our society to become."

"The healers have closed the wounds and stopped the bleeding but he lost too much blood. The replenishing potion tops up a wizards blood supply but he must have enough of his own blood available for his magic to convert it to real blood. A wizard's blood is unique to them as it allows their magic to flow and everyone's magic is different. His body will start to shut down in under twelve hours."

This strong, proud woman sat with tears running unashamedly down her cheeks and Harry thought no words could make a difference here so he sat quietly with his friend's grandmother before eventually excusing himself and heading for Hermione.

She knew he was coming and was heading for the door so when Harry opened it, his sobbing wife in her now ruined wedding gown engulfed him in a hug of despair.

Dan Granger was in a critical condition, even if the healers managed to save his life chances were he'd be paralysed from the neck down.

Emma, if anything was in a worse state than Hermione as she made her way over and clung to them as if her life depended on it, Amanda just sat staring unbelieving at her only son.

Harry sat with his wife and new mother either side of him as a procession of healers would come in, cast a few diagnostic spells, shake their heads and leave.

It was Emma who broke the silence first, "you made your father the happiest man in the world today, his dream was to walk his daughter down the aisle and give her hand to a man who really loved her, his wish came true today."

They held each other tighter

"He was having a set of golf clubs made for Harry's Christmas with the Gryffindor lion on them, Sirius helped with the design and he was really looking forward to spending hours away from the nagging women teaching his son to play golf."

Harry held the crying mother and daughter close before speaking, "Mum we have the combined resources of the magical and muggle world as well as the goblin and elvin nations behind us. If dad can be fixed I promise to move heaven and earth to make it possible. I want him teaching his grandchildren to play golf."

Amanda Granger spoke for the first time since the explosion, "Harry there's something I want you to promise me, that the bastards who did this to my son wont get away with it."

Harry went over and knelt beside the woman who for once looked her age, "Gran I've already sworn a bloodfeud against the people who did this, nobody attacks my family and gets away with it. We're looking after our people for now but trust me when I say we'll get the bastards. You have the word of Lord Harry James Potter Gryffindor, it will cost them their lives."

"Harry I can use a shotgun if you let me help," offered a very serious Emma Granger.
