Harry Potter and the Maddest Year Ever.

By: Tatra and Catty

Chapter one - To The Burrow!

"Harry!" Aunt Petunia's piercing voice called out, waking Harry up.

Harry was kind of glad that she woke him up, not that he liked the Dursleys, in fact he hated them, but he was having a nightmare about the tournament that happened last year.

In only a few weeks Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, and Hermione Granger would be starting their 5th year at Hogwarts, a school for learning witchcraft and wizardry, along with all of their friends.

Harry got out of bed, got dressed, and went downstairs to eat breakfast with the Dursleys.

He was pouring himself a glass of milk when an owl came swooping in.

"Pig!" Harry said as he put the milk down and reached up.

The Dursleys stared at Pig in horror.

Two minutes later Harry finally caught Pig. There was a note attached to his leg.

Harry quickly opened it and began to read it. It was from Ginny.

'Harry,' it read, 'Fred and George left one of their experimental potions out and when Ron touched it, he got turned into a mutated creature. He's blue, has wings, and he has a magic monkey tail. Dad will be there to pick you up at 12:00.

-Ginny'

Harry went upstairs, packed his things and went back downstairs, after telling the Dursleys that he was leaving.

At 12:00 sharp, Mr Weasley drove up in front of the house in a ministry car, and honked the horn to let Harry know he was there.

On their way back to the Burrow, the Weasley's house, they stopped off at Hermione's house.

She ran outside with her trunk and hopped in the car- with Crookshanks, her cat, and his cage in her other hand.

"Harry! When I heard about Ron I got all my books out and spent most of today reading up on it, but I haven't found anything yet," Hermione said as she got out a huge book.

They arrived at the Burrow faster then Harry expected.

When they went inside they saw Ron immediately.

Hermione gasped.

"Wow," was all Harry could say.

Ron was blue, there was no denying it.

He was sitting at a table with Ginny and was eating something.

Harry and Hermione saw that he did have wings on his back.

"So, how are you, Ron? Feeling ok?" Harry asked, trying to be nice.

Ron turned around and replied, "I'm fine, except for the fact that I'm mutated and mum keeps making me drink potions. Also they're thinking about calling in Snape!"

Hermione and Harry both looked horrified.

"Snape?" Hermione said.

"They can't!" Harry said, outraged.

"Well, he may know a cure," Hermione said, hesitantly.

"Who's side are you on?!" Ron demanded, "Snape can not see me like this!"

"He still may know a cure," Hermione said as she frowned at Ron.

"Madam Pomfrey's coming too," Ginny piped up.

She blushed when Harry looked over at her.

"I refuse to let Snape see me," Ron said as there was a knock at the door.

It was Madam Pomfrey.

"Drink this," she said, handing Ron a small glass with a gooey orange liquid in it.

Ron took the glass and swallowed the liquid, then took a huge gulp of pumpkin juice.

"My work here is done. By tomorrow you'll be back to normal, I can guarantee it," Madam Pomfrey said before leaving.

"I guess Snape won't have to come after all," Harry said.

"If this potion works," Ron said as he got up and went into the kitchen.

Ron put the glass in the sink and came back.

"So, how is the tail magical?" Hermione asked the question that was on Harry's mind.

"It shoots sparks when I wave it," Ron said as he demonstrated for them.

It was just like when they waved their wands.

Ginny giggled.

"You wouldn't think it was funny if you had a tail," Ron said.

"Sorry, but you have to admit it's funny," Ginny replied.

Ron just sighed.

Suddenly his tail moved up in a shower of sparks and picked Ron's spoon up.

"Hey!," Ron yelled, "I wasn't done eating yet!"

"What just happened?" Harry asked.

"Sorry we forgot to tell you, Ron's tail sometimes acts up," Ginny said.

"Um... acts up?" Hermione asked.

"It does things on it's own," Ginny answered.

"Harry, Hermione!" Mrs. Weasley exclaimed as she came in the room, "Why don't you kids go upstairs and get ready for dinner."

"Alright," Hermione said.

"You'll be staying in Ginny's room," Mrs. Weasley told Hermione.

Ginny, Hermione and Harry started up the stairs. They were half way up when they realized that Ron wasn't coming. They looked back down and saw that Ron's tail had grabbed hold of the chair.

"Guys! Help me!" Ron shouted.

Harry and Hermione went over and pried the tail loose.

"Thanks, Herman just didn't want to let go," Ron said as he started upstairs.

"Herman?" Harry asked.

"That's what Fred and George started to call it when it acted up," Ron answered.

"Herman."

Ron nodded.

"Fred and George are definitely weird," Hermione said.

"Yup," Ron replied as he and Harry started up the stairs to Ron's room.

Hermione and Ginny went into Ginny's room.

Harry and Ron put Harry's stuff in Ron's room.

Then the entire Weasley family(excluding Bill and Charlie), plus Harry and Hermione, sat down to eat dinner.

"I was thinking that we would go get your school supplies tomorrow," Mrs. Weasley said.

"We can't! What if I was still blue?!" Ron protested.

"But Madam Pomfrey said that you wouldn't be blue," Ginny said.

"She said tomorrow, but she didn't say when," Ron replied.

Ron got up to get a fork when he felt a funny feeling. The next thing he knew was that everyone was laughing hysterically. Then Ron noticed what they were laughing at, turned a shade of crimson, and ran upstairs.

He had become normal again, but when he became human he was naked.

"Well, it looks like we can go after all," Harry said.

"Yup," Hermione replied.

"A few minutes later Ron came back down, fully clothed, still a shade of crimson.

"That'll teach you to leave our stuff alone," Fred said, still laughing.

"Which reminds me, you two are grounded until you leave for school, and no more inventions!" Mrs. Weasley told Fred and George.

"Aw,"

"But," Fred and George protested at the same time.

"No buts," Mrs. Weasley said.

Hermione was trying very hard not to look at Ron, for fear of laughing and not being able to stop.

Harry was having a hard time too. He kept having to stop himself from shaking with silent laughter.

"Great lot you are," Ron whispered to Harry.

That made Harry shake harder.

"Are you okay, Harry?" Ginny, who had noticed him shaking, asked.

"I'm fine. Excuse me, I'll be back," Harry managed to get upstairs before bursting out with laughter.

Hermione soon fallowed him.

It was several minutes before they could calm down enough to look at each other, which made then laugh even harder.

A few minutes later Ron appeared at the top of the stairs.

"What are you doing up here? Your dinner is getting cold," Ron told them.

Hermione and Harry looked up at Ron and burst out laughing again.

"Oh you two! I should have Mum kick you out," Ron said.

"Sorry(giggle) Ron," Hermione said.

"Yeah(laugh) we can't(laugh) help it," Harry joined in.

"This better not reach school or Malfoy," Ron said, "Now go eat dinner!"

Harry and Hermione went down to finish eating, which took a while, considering every few minutes they had a laugh attack.

After dinner, Harry, Ron, and Hermione went up to Ron's room.

"Who do you think Dumbledore will hire for Defense Against Dark Arts?" Hermione asked over the din of the Ghoul in Ron's attic.

"I hope it's Lupin," Harry said, "but as long as it isn't Snape, I really don't care."

"It would be neat to have someone famous be our teacher," Hermione said.

"You remember last time that happened," Ron replied, "And we don't need it to happen again."

"It could be an Auror," Hermione suggested.

"Fred and George said that a vampire was going to teach, but then later the said it was going to be a banshee, so I don't trust them," Ron said.

"Is that a new Quidditch poster?" Harry asked, changing the topic.

"Yup. It's the team that Wood joined, Fred and George gave it to me after I touched the potion, they said it was a thank you gift," Ron answered.

"Cool," Harry said, getting up to look at it more closely.

Hermione sighed as the two boys started talking about Quidditch.

She then went down to Ginny's room.

Soon it was bed time, and they all went to sleep.
