A/N: Hello everyone! I am a new writer, you could say. Just testing my writing skills :) I do not own any of these characters. These characters came from the brilliant mind of J.K Rowling.

Chapter One: Permission

"Mum! Dad! Can Harry stay with us for the summer! PLEASE!" Ron Weasley shouted over the large, growing crowd of Hogwarts students who filled Platform 9 ¾.

Mr. and Mrs. Weasley who at the time were attempting to maze their way through the crowd of students, barely heard Ron's request. When they finally caught up with Ron, Ginny, Fred, George, Harry, Ron asked again.

"Mum, can Harry stay with us for the summer? You know how awful those muggles treat him. Keeping him locked up in that small room, no contact with the outside world. Not feeding him..." He finished by winking at Harry, knowing his mother's weakness for underfed children. Mrs. Weasley looked from Harry to Mr. Weasley with an approving look on her face.

"Of course he can stay!" She exclaimed.

She gave Harry a hug and began fussing with his hair.

"He is always welcome in our home." Mr. Weasley stated firmly and shaking Harry's hand. "But of course, you need to get permission from your uncle, was he to pick you up today?"

As Mr. Weasley finished this sentence, Harry saw Uncle Vernon through the crowd of witches and wizards. He was leaning up against the wall farthest way from the crowd, with his arms crossed. He kept glancing down at his watch and searching through the crowd for his nephew. Harry answered by pointing to where Uncle Vernon was standing,

"Yes. He is over there."

Harry and Mr. Weasley made their way over to Uncle Vernon. As they were getting closer, Harry chuckled to himself because of the changing expressions on his uncles' face. It went from being a purple to a red to a pale white color. Harry assumed by the pale white color, the memory of Dudley's ton-tongue was fresh in his memory.

"Hello there!" Mr. Weasley said greeting Uncle Vernon by sticking his hand out hoping for Uncle Vernon to return the gesture, which he did not. He stood there with his arms still crossed, glaring at Mr. Weasley.

Mr. Weasley began again, "Hello! I am Arthur Weasley. I am sure you remember me from a few summer ago."

Uncle Vernon did not respond. He just stood there, too afraid to say anything.

With a disappointing tone, Mr. Weasley turned and spoke to Harry, "Go ahead Harry. Ask him."

Harry nodded, and looked up at his uncle, cleared his throat and began, "Umm... would it be okay if I stayed at the Weasley's house for the summer? I will go straight from there back to school in the fall."

Uncle Vernon for the first time looked at Harry since he arrived, and answered, "You won't be home till next summer?"

"Pretty much." Harry responded.

Color returned to Uncle Vernon's face. "I see no problem with it."

"Well then!" Mr. Weasley exclaimed, "We must be going! It was nice seeing you again, Mr. Dursley."

Once again he attempted the handshake, but Uncle Vernon resisted.

"Thanks Uncle Vernon. Bye." Harry said knowing that he wasn't going to get any response.

"Bye." Uncle Vernon responded, and turned on his heel and walked in the opposite direction.

Harry sprinted back to where the rest of the Weasley clan was waiting for the news. Ron seeing Harry with a huge smile on his face got extremely excited and ran towards Harry.

"This summer is going to be so wicked!" He exclaimed.

"It sure will!" Harry replied, "It sure will."
