The healer replied, "the muggles should recover in a couple of weeks but the witch might not make it. Her mind is unravelling at an alarming rate. She keeps asking for Harry and Ginny as if her world is focused on you two and meeting you both may help. If I may be so bold, can I suggest Mrs Potter not accompany you as this just might send her over the edge. Regardless of whether this does any good it may be the last chance to talk to her before she losses what little grip she has left on reality."
Before Harry could answer, Hermione spoke over their bond, 'we have to do this for Ginny, don't worry about me, I'll be with you in that room'
Ginny looked into his eyes questioningly and asked, "Dad?"
"Lead the way healer" he said, "Hermione could you come as well? I want to speak to the Dursleys after Molly."
They found themselves outside a hospital bedroom as the healer gave them some final instructions, "even our scans had her screaming in rage so we gave her a mild calming draft, don't be alarmed if see appears sleepy."
"Are you ready for this Ginny Potter?" asked Harry
She had a hold on his arm tighter than Devil's Snare as she mumbled "no" but followed him in anyway.
Molly Weasley tried to sit up in the hospital bed but found she was just too tired. She, of course, immediately recognised her daughter but not the handsome young man on whose arm she clung, at least not until he spoke.
"Harry?"
He just nodded, but the look of happiness in her eyes could be seen from outer space.
She held her hand out and Ginny, very reluctantly, took one hand of Harry's arm and held it towards Molly.
Molly didn't notice the reluctance but she did notice the exquisite bracelet she was wearing, and the inscription brought tears to her eyes. "Ginny Potter! Your Ginny Potter now?"
Harry bent down and kissed his daughter on the top of her head, "yes she is!"
Molly let Ginny's hand go and lay back with a look of utter bliss on her tear stained face. She didn't notice that they had both left and honestly didn't care, she had completed her task.
The name Ginny Potter had started unravelling the threads of manipulation placed in her mind by Dumbledore, the old wizard had been aware this might happen but not too worried. Molly wasn't supposed to live long after the dream of Ginny Potter became a reality.
Ginny fell apart after leaving the room, "how could anyone do that to her?" she sobbed.
"He had the same fate planned for you and me, our champion of the light is worse than Riddle. At least he just tried to kill us both." Answered Harry.
After Ginny had recovered, with the help of a mild 'cheering charm' from Hermione, they moved on.
The three Potters walked into a room containing both Dursleys and noticed a difference in their behaviour immediately.
Vernon couldn't even look at them, appalled at his previous behaviour, so turned on his side to face the wall. Petunia apologised for their treatment of him before her natural nosey nature took over and asked Harry to introduce the girls.
"This is my wife, Hermione, and our daughter Ginny."
At Petunia's stunned look, Ginny answered the unspoken question.
"They adopted me though I will have two sisters and a brother at the beginning of September."
Petunia's mouth was moving but no sound was being emitted, Harry put his arm around his wife and daughter, "yes Aunt Petunia, Hermione is pregnant and we're going to be blessed with triplets."
"Harry, how will you afford four of a family?" asked Vernon, his curiosity getting the better of him.
Harry was shocked! Not only was his uncle's tone polite, but also, he thought, it was the first time he had ever called him by his name.
Ginny was still under the effects of the cheering charm so answered quite happily, "believe me sir, money's not something these two need to worry about any time soon."
"Harry?" asked Petunia, "what happened to Dudley?"
"As far as I'm aware, he decided to stay at his school over the holidays."
Petunia had tears running down her cheeks, "I know I have no right to ask but could you look out for him? Please?"
It was Hermione who answered, "we will go and get him, he needs to be medically checked as well. You should be better in a few weeks then you can come and live with us while we all decide what to do next."
Petunia was really crying now, "Oh we couldn't impose. You'd do that for us after the way we treated you?"
Harry was looking at his wife as if she had two heads but had to agree with her thought that it was the right thing to do.
"Aunt Petunia, Uncle Vernon it won't be an imposition. Hermione's family moved there yesterday and we have plenty of room. Ginny will be back at school so you don't even have to put up with her."
The feisty redhead maturely stuck her tongue out at her father.
"But Harry," said Petunia, "don't you have to go to school as well?"
Ginny was laughing, "they don't attend Hogwarts anymore, they own it."
They chatted some more before leaving on their latest quest.
Harry was going to find out if his cousin had his mind manipulated or if he really was just a fat, arrogant bully.
