Harry Potter: Shadows of Tomorrow

"Harry" Dumbledore spoke "we cannot kill, to do so would make us no better than the ones we stop"

"Really?" Harry asked in mock confusion "to kill an evil dark lord who has murdered countless people in an act that is basically self-defence and will prevent hundreds of deaths makes us worse than the death eaters? You really put things into perspective." Ginny smiled, she could see the others were mentally agreeing with Harry and Dumbledore was trying to think up an excuse. She figured that while she was here she might as well help Harry disrupt the meeting

"Does anyone want pancakes?" she asked

"Oh me" Sirius and Remus sat down, everyone was surprised when Snape also joined them.

"What?" Snape said to the gobsmacked members "I may despise the majority of humanity, pretty much everyone honestly, but I still need food"

"I'll have some while I'm here" Tonks plopped down "I can never get enough of Harry's cooking"

"Me too" Mad-eye joined them "it's hard to be constantly vigilant on an empty stomach"

"Right" Moly sighed "I'll start cooking"

"No thank you mother" Ginny replied "me and Harry have got it"

"Now Ginny…"

"Leave off it Molly" Moody interrupted "I've heard rumours of their cooking skills from Padfoot and Remus, I'd like them to put their money where their mouths are, or more accurately their food where my mouth is"

"Kreatcher" Harry called "help us with the cooking and serving our 'guests' please"

"Yes master" Kreatcher nodded, Molly was about to say something but Kreatcher fixed her with a glare.

"Now Harry" Dumbledore started but the next thing he knew everyone had started being served pancakes, he tried to regain order but was overshadowed by the delicious taste and sweet allure of Harry and Ginny's cooking. Dumbledore sighed and left, nothing else was accomplished that day. Funnily enough Dumbledore didn't call another order meeting until Harry and Ginny had to return to Hogwarts.

Soon it was time to return to Hogwarts, Harry and Ginny made their own way to the castle. They saw Hermione and Ron there with Mrs Weasley and the twins. Hermione tried desperately not to look at Harry, Ron glared at him along with his mother while the twins stood behind them and smiled wildly. Once they got their own compartment the twins joined them.

"Good news guys" George spoke first

"We've found a building in Diagon Alley" Fred smiled

"It needs a bit of work but"

"We brought it"

"We've also ordered all our products"

"So the shop will be ready before the school year ends"

"We could have got it done sooner"

"But mother insists that we stay at school"

"And we decided to obey"

"At least until the shops ready"

"Then we are straight out of there"

"Good for you guys" Harry smiled "I think with what's coming up, we could all use some fun"

"What do you mean?" Fred asked

"Voldermorts back" Harry explained "the ministry won't want to believe it until it's too late and I'm not going to try and convince them otherwise. You've seen what they've done to Dumbledore's reputation, I suspect that they're planning to do more this year." Suddenly the door opened and Draco Malfoy stood there with his two body guards

"Hello Potter" Malfoy sneered at him

"Hello Malfoy junior" Harry smiled "did your father tell you the story of my heroic victory over the dark idiot? Or did he make something up about me not beating him?"

"Make up all the lies you want" Draco raised his chin "when he gets through with you, you'll be begging for forgiveness"

"Draco, you know what the difference is between me and you? You come from a line of dependent idiots, you depend heavily on your father and voldermort while he did the same with his father and voldermort. Me, I take what I want, I do whatever it takes to get it and if I'm determined then nothing will stop me. I don't make empty promises so trust me when I promise that one day I will kill Voldermort"

"You're delusional" Malfoy spat and walked off

"Prick" George muttered

"Now calm down brother" Fred grinned evilly "we shouldn't insult little Malfoy after he did us the honour of providing a target for the year"

"Ah too true brother" George gave him a matching grin.

"He's screwed isn't he?" Harry whispered

"Oh hell yeah" Ginny replied. Before Harry could reply, Hermione and Ron opened the door.

"Can I help you two?" Harry sighed

"Look Harry" Hermione started "when you go to school, you should tell everyone what happened in the graveyard"

"Why don't you?" Harry responded

"I wasn't there!"

"Still not my fault" The twins and Ginny snickered as Hermione desperately tried to maintain a calm face.

"Harry" She spoke with a forced calmness "don't you think you should tell people what happened? I mean we deserve to know, You-know-who returned that night didn't he?"

"I am not confirming or denying anything" Harry responded

"What?!" Ron shouted "Why not?"

"Listen Ron" Ginny spoke up "Harry does not have to explain his reasoning to a person whose highest intelligence can be overshadowed by the intelligence of a rock"

"Nobody was talking to you!"
