I'm back, still writing. I felt so down I didn't even really review so lets hope they're aren't too badly written.
So, this happened. I don't know where the idea came from, but here it is. [WARNING: WILL BE SLASH]
No, I don't own Harry Potter. No copyright intended!
…
"'Ello Harry's Weazy!" Dobby exclaimed, appearing next to Ron one summer day.
"Hello Dobby. What brings you here mate?"
"Dobby wonders if Harry's Weazy had heard from Harry Potter?"
"Not lately, why?"
"Dobby wonders how Harry Potter is doing is all. Dobby knows Harry's Weazy must miss him as well."
"Call me Ron, Dobby."
"Harry's Ron Weazy then!"
"Just Ron."
"Harry's Ron!" Dobby said delightedly, giving Ron a big smile. "Does Harry's Ron miss Harry Potter?"
"He's my best mate. Of course I miss him."
"Harry's Ron should go see Harry Potter! Dobby will take him if he wishes!"
"No, Dobby, I can't go see him. He lives with muggles."
"Oh, Harry's Ron is right. I will bring Harry Potter to Harry's Ron then!" Dobby said, snapping his fingers and disappearing before Ron could say anything.
What was all that about?
…
"Harry Potter!" Dobby exclaimed, making Harry turn sharply to face the small elf.
"Dobby, what are you doing here?"
"Dobby had just spoken to Harry's Ron! Dobby knows Harry Potter misses him, so Dobby has come to bring Harry Potter to his Ron!"
"Dobby, I can't just leave."
"Why not? The muggles will not miss Harry Potter." Harry sat down on his bed and looked at Dobby.
"Trust me, I'd love to go see Ron for the rest of the summer, but I need to stay here. It's safe here."
"Harry Potter would be safe with the Weazys Dobby thinks."
"I'd need to talk to Dumble-" Before Harry could finish his sentence, Dobby was gone.
…
"Professor Dumbledore!" Dobby exclaimed when he appeared in the bearded man's office, "Dobby has come to request the transfer of Harry Potter to the Weazys!"
"Oh really? And why do you request this?" Dumbledore asked, a twinkle in his eyes and a smile gracing his lips.
"Dobby believes Dumbledore knows!"
"That Dumbledore does. And Dumbledore," he said, making an envelope appear in his hand, "grants this request."
"Thank you Professor Dumbledore!" Dobby exclaimed happily, grabbing the parchment envelope and disappearing out of the office. Dumbledore smiled and nodded to himself.
Dobby was a very good observer indeed.
…
"Harry Potter must pack!" Dobby cried out as he landed on Harry's floor. "Dobby has a note to the muggles so they know that Harry Potter is leaving to go see his Ron!"
"What? Did you talk to Dumbledore?"
"Dobby did! See?" Harry looked at the letter and easily recognized Dumbledore's slanted handwriting. "Harry Potter must pack quickly!"
"What about my school stuff?"
"Dobby can get it all! Pack Harry Potter! Dobby will deliver the note!"
"No Dobby don't! I'll do it," Harry said, quickly snatching the note from the elf's hand. "Let me do it. Okay?"
"If Harry Potter says so."
"Just stay here," he said, already leaving the room. "Don't move a muscle." He watched as the elf stilled in his steps, as if frozen. Harry rolled his eyes but hurried down the stairs.
"What do you want?" Uncle Vernon asked once he was in the living room.
"I have a note from my school-"
"Don't mention that in this house!" Aunt Petunia screeched from the kitchen. He could hear Dudley stuffing his face in there and he couldn't help but roll his eyes again.
"It's just a letter stating that I can go to a friends this house this summer."
"Not those reds again I hope. I still shiver from when they came and got you last time," his uncle said, visibly shaking and grabbing the note. He tore open the envelope and began to read. "What the bloody hell is a 'dobby' and why is it taking you there?"
"Don't worry about that. You guys won't even notice I'm gone. I'll see you all when I get back!" he said, quickly snatching the letter away and hurried up the stairs, catching glimpses of the note in the process.
Harry Potter will be staying with a friend this summer…. Accompanied by Dobby…perfectly safe….
Harry couldn't help but wonder if Dumbledore really was a crackpot sometimes. When he got back to his room, he saw Dobby still frozen in the middle of the room. "Dobby help me pack! But no magic!" Dobby nodded and began to clumsily put things into the trunk with Harry. In a matter of seconds they were done, Harry panting at the effort he had made. Dobby smiled up at him and reached for his hand while he grabbed Hedwig's cage with the other. Harry, still clutching the note in his hand along with his trunk, was soon whisked away from Privet Drive once again.
…
In the blink of an eye, Harry found himself outside of the Burrow, with Ron running to meet him.
"We just got an owl from Dumbledore saying you'd be here mate!" Ron said happily, pulling Harry into a hug, which surprised the darker wizard, although he was not unpleased with the closeness the red-head was giving him. "All summer with you. It must be like the greatest gift to get away from the muggles for a whole summer!"
"You have no idea," Harry said as he and Dobby, with the help of Ron, take his stuff into the Burrow. "When Dobby said he got the okay from Dumbledore, I couldn't believe my luck for once."
"I'm glad you were able to come mate."
"Me too Ron." They smiled at each other, neither trying to disguise what they were feeling from the other. Harry looked away first, slightly blushing as Dobby went to greet Mrs. Weasley, even offering to help around the house for a bit; the buoyant woman never looked happier at that. Ron, with a grip on Harry's hand, pulled him up to his room in attic, where they deposited his trunk and let Hedwig out for her to go flying. "So, any idea if Dumbledore sent for Hermione too?" Harry asked as he sprawled onto the guest bed in Ron's room.
"No, she wrote me not too long ago to let me know that she was spending the summer with her parents again."
"So, just us?"
"Just you and me mate."
And Harry for once found himself anticipating the time he would get to spend with Ron – no schoolwork, no Hermione to remind them about schoolwork, and no gaggling groups of girls.
Just Harry and Ron.
All summer.
…
So there's the start of that…
What did you think?
