Summary- In Harry's fifth year all third years and above are to be re-sorted. Harry isn't the young naïve Harry they used to know. Oh and Ron and Hermione aren't his friends anymore. Ambrose Thornson, Andrew Slade, and Ginny Weasley are. And a Draco/Harry FRIENDSHIP! What will this crazy world come too next? Oh I don't know maybe Harry Potter and a Blasie (female) Zanbi RELATIONSHIP! HP/BZ AT/DM GW/AS SB/RL.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Harry Potter was sitting in the last train compartment with his three friends. Ginny Weasley, his ex-best mates little sister and fellow Gryffindor. She has flaming red hair down about mid-back. She was in a black skirt and black top, she sat across from him. Next to her is Andrew Slade a Ravenclaw in the same year as Ginny. He has amazing blue eyes and spiked out long sandy hair. Even though Andrew is a pure-blood he was raised to be like a muggle, his parents verbally abuse him. He is wearing a black tang-top and a pair of black baggy jeans. And finally next to Harry is his new best friend, Ambrose Thornson a Hufflepuff is the same year as him. Ambrose has bright red eyes with black and deep purple specks all around it and mid-night black hair about 3 ½ inches below her shoulder as always it up in a ponytail. She's a half-blood but orphaned at 2 years old and left in an abusive orphanage. She was wearing an old black vest over an old grey shirt that was once black with old ripped jeans.
"OH! Harry you live at #4 Privet Drive right?" Ambrose said suddenly.
"Yea… why?" Harry said uneasily.
"I got a letter from Mr. Johnson; he said when I went home for Easter hols. A couple wanted to adopt me and last week they did. They live at #8 Privet Drive." Ambrose said looking at Harry.
"You've got to be kidding me! Number 8! I used to know the boy that lives there!" Harry said. Just as he finished saying that that door opened.
"Oh! I'm sorry I didn't realize this compartment was full." An olive skinned girl said.
"You're Blasie Zanbi aren't you? Of Slyterin" Ambrose said.
"Yes you're Ambrose Thornson of Hufflepuff and Andrew Slade of Ravenclaw and you two are Harry Potter and Ginny Weasley of Gryffindor. Right?" Blasie said. A shout came from the hallway
"Shit can I hide in here wit you guys? Pansy and company are all up my ass about not being happy the dark lord returned." Blasie said. They looked at each other.
"Sure, come in." Harry said. Just as she shut the door Pansy Parkinson opened it.
"I doubt this but have any of you seen Blasie Zanbi, of Slyterin?" She asked like she had a bad taste in her mouth.
"No hasn't been back here." Andrew Slade said glaring at Pansy. Draco Malfoy came up behind her.
"Pansy I don't see what the big fuss is about Blasie, she doesn't want to follow the Dark Lord, neither do I, and I told you that. I would rather be disowned then follow a mad snake man." Draco said
"Aw Drakey-poo you know you don't mean that. Deep down I know you want to be the dark lords heir, your father said so himself." Pansy said putting her arms around Dracos' neck.
"Pansy get off and don't call me that!" Draco said storming away from the back of the train. Pansy left the follow him. Everyone looked at the floor where Blasie was hiding on under Harry's invisibility cloak.
"Care to explain that interesting conversation we had the pleaser to hear?" Ginny said taking the cloak off of her. She got up from her floor and sat next too Harry.
"Well as you heard I don't want to go with the dark lord, neither dose Draco. But seeing as his parents are Death Eaters he might have to get the mark. Golye told me that my parents are thinking of getting the mark also. We tell them over and over again that we don't to be Death Eaters. And that last bit with Pansy, she thinks her and Draco are going out since he felt bad and asked her to the Yule Ball. Kind of funny really." Blasie said.
"Would you like to stay in here for a while since you can't go back to the Death Eater's in training?" Ambrose asked
"Sure why not. As long it's ok with everyone else." Blasie said. Everyone nodded except for Harry. He turned his head away from the window smiling.
"I don't see the problem in that." He said.
Blasie POV
Oh my god! Oh my god! Oh my god! I am sitting next too Harry Potter! I've liked him for the longest time. Not because of fame though. Because, well I don't really know but he is just amazing and so brave.
Hmm I'm not sure what to think of his knew friends though, for one thing they are better then those other two. How could he stand them?
Ambrose I have met before, on the train here in 1st year. Sweet girl, dark past though. It's too bad we're in different houses especially her in Hufflepuff and I in Slyterin.
Andrew Slade, I don't know him too well. All I know he is the most stupid Ravenclaw possible and a year younger then myself. I heard he doesn't have a good home life either.
Now Ginny, I don't know really anything about her as we have never met. The Zanbi and Weasley families have never got on good. I bet she was told many bad things about her family as mine. Though she seems so unlike her brothers.
Harry is another story; yeah I like him but know nothing about him at all really. He is so quite I think this year has been too much for him I can see it. I would pity him if I didn't know pity never went well with anyone.
Ambrose POV
I'm so worried about Harry. He has been so quite mental sigh ah well at least I am down the corner from him now. We can talk about the year that just past. I knew Cedric also. We were close, he helped me a lot some can confuse us as brother and sister by the way we act sometimes.
Blasie I remember her. We became friends of some sort on the train during 1st year before we got sorted that is. I wonder what it would have been like if I was in Slyterin or she was in Hufflepuff. Well best not dwell on what ifs.
Ginny POV
Oh no! I hope Ron or Fred or George doesn' t comes in here! They'll tell mum and I'll be skinned alive! Ah well. I'm starting to like the Zanbi girl. I think what Mum and Dad told me was a lie about the Zanbi family or maybe it's just Blasie, seeing as she dose have different views then the rest of her family just like me. Would someone remind me why I let the sorting hat out me in Gryffindor? I should've fought with that stupid hat. Maybe I and Blasie could have become friends…
Andrew POV
I hope none of my 'friends' sees me. They will kill me! Talking with a Slyterin! Especially Zanbi! I still don't see a problem with her. She could have done well in Ravenclaw and maybe even Gryffindor to a point. Speaking of Gryffindor I hope Harry is alright. It must be depressing having to go back to his aunt and uncle's home after what happened. Well at least Ambrose will be just down the block.
Regular POV
They talked for most of the train ride. The topics went from school to quidditch to family (something Ambrose stayed out of) to really everything. Until a certain Mr. Ronald Weasley and Miss. Hermione Granger burst into the compartment.
"GINNY! What the bloody hell do you think your doing!" Ron shouted.
"It's called talking Ron. I'm talking to my friends. Leave us alone." Ginny said
"Why are you talking to him and a Slyterin! Zanbi being that Slyterin!" Hermione said. Harry stood up and took his wand out in one simple motion.
"I suggest you both get out before I force you." He said in a quite but deadly voice.
"And will you do oh great champion?" Ron said.
"This" Harry said and waved his wand. Both Ron and Hermione flew out of the compartment and down the corridor. They all stared at him with shock. Everyone knew Harry, Ron and Hermione got in the biggest row possible during the Tri-Wizard Tournament but no one knew why and what really happened besides the fact Ron hates Harry, Harry hates Ron and Hermione is siding with Ron without second thought. Especially no one guessed Harry would curse his ex-friends.
"Remind me to never get on his bad side, ever" Blasie said to Ambrose who was heard by Andrew and Ginny who all nodded dumb struck. Blasie looked at her muggle watch.
"Damn it, I have to get back to the front of the train where my compartment is. If you wish to owl me just address it too me, owls are able to find me no matter what." Blasie said getting up from her seat.
"Bye Blasie." Ambrose said.
The train started pulling into the station everyone got up to gather their stuff.
"Why do I have a feeling this is going to be one hell of a summer?" Harry muttered to himself before getting his stuff.
-- 3 weeks later --
Harry, Blasie, Andrew and Ginny have been talking through owl post with Ambrose for the three weeks. So far Harry and Ambrose managed to both get summer jobs in the Surrey mall. Harry at this body piercing store and Ambrose at this gothic store. Though Harry can't give tattoos or give piercing he is learning how to and helps design tattoo designs in the window. That's where they were when they came in….
Harry was working the desk again, when someone who looked familiar too Harry walked across the store. The person walked back as he too recognized Harry. The man stepped into the store.
"Oh Merlin! Harry?" the man asked.
"'Ello Bill" Harry said
"Harry you, you look so different!" Bill Weasley said. It's true Harry dose look different. He had gotten contacts with some of the money he earned from the tattoo store. He also got ear piercings up is right ear and one on his left. His hair grew longer and the way its cut it covers his left eye along with his scar (you know like the way emo people have it) and was streaked with green and blue. He dressed different too. Gone were the old hand-me downs. He is wearing all black and blue. Also staying over Ambrose's house did him well also.
"Are you here with the rest of you family?" Harry asked ignoring his last question.
"Yea, they're at the food court now. Along with Hermione." Bill said.
"Be right back" Harry said walking to a room towards the back and opened a door.
"Joe I'm gonna take lunch now k? Ok? I'm gone." Harry shouted after some guys screams while getting a tattoo.
"Let me get someone and can you take me to your family?" Harry asked. Bill nodded. They walked out of the shop and down a few shops to this dark shop with rock music blasting out of it. He went in to the counter.
"Hey Rose wanna take lunch now?" Harry said to a girl about his age. Her hair is black with blue and green streaks also. She was wearing black skirt over footless stockings that where as long as capris. She was wearing a black and green tang-top that showed part of her mid drift. She has a belly button piercing and ear piercings along both ears. Her hair was some what up and had a part of her hair covering her right eye, that piece of hair was dyed yellow.
"Why so early?" the person known as "Rose" asked
"See that guy over there?" Harry asked she nodded "Well that's Bill Weasley; he said that he is here with his whole family." Harry said both of them looking at Bill, who just realized they both, have a nose piercing.
"Alright let me go get Josh that lazy bum" 'Rose' said walking to a back room. She came back out with a bag that says 'Cruel but Cute so I'm worth it' with a strange looking bunny on it (aka Happy Bunny but he doesn't know that now dose he) that is yellow.
"OK we can go now" 'Rose said.
"Bill this is Ambrose a friend of mine and Ginny's and Ambrose this is Bill as I told you oldest Weasley child" Harry said as they walked out of the store. They didn't have to go far to the food court or find the Weasleys'.
"Mum, Dad I'm back." Bill said coming closer to the table.
"What did you get honey?" Mrs. Weasley asked.
"I found two people." Bill said.
"Who would that be?" Mr. Weasley asked.
"Us." Harry and Ambrose said stepping out from behind Bill. Most of the Weasleys' up in surprise.
"Who are…?" Charlie started but couldn't finish as Ginny shouted (in his ear)
"ROSE! HARRY!" jumping up from her seat. "So good to see you! Why are you here?" she said. She gave them a look "Wait, are you stalking me?" she asked.
"No we're not stalking you we work here now." Harry said brushing the part of hair that covered his eye.
"Yup for three weeks man! Dude for a job at this place sure pays!" Ambrose said.
"Oh joy spoil my lunch why don't you?" Ron said coming back from who knows where with Hermione in tow.
"Ronald!" Percy said sharply.
"Good now my mission in life is finished. Now I can die happy for I spoiled little Ronnie's lunch." Ambrose said. Hermione glared at her. Harry looked at Ambrose with something in his eyes. They nodded.
"Mrs. Weasley, can we kidnap you only daughter for a while? Please?" Harry asked.
"Dear, call me Molly and yes Ginny can go off with you. Where can I find you in about 3 and half hours?" Mrs. Weasley asked.
"The tattoo place over there. And any differences in Ginny were mostly not made by us, but other workers." Ambrose said running away with Harry and Ginny in tow.
3 hours 20 minutes, 900 pounds and 50 shopping bags later +
They were at the Dark Side (what I now decided to name Harry's job place thing) with Ginny getting a nose piercing.
"Is this gonna hurt?" she asked looking down at her nose.
"Not as much as the last one." Harry said.
"Ok Harry now go get the gem or ring for the nose and put it on the needle." Harry's boss Joe said taking Harry step-by-step on how to pierce some ones nose.
"There all done." Harry said cleaning off his hands.
"Now how am I gonna pay you guys back? This whole trip must have coast 1000 pounds!" Ginny said walking into the main room.
"Consider this late birthday and Christmas presents from me" Ambrose said.
"And early Christmas and birthday presents from me." Harry said.
"If you're sure…" Ginny said but trailed off seeing her family right outside the door.
"Ginny what did you do to your self!" Mr. Weasley shouted seeing what his youngest child and only daughter looks like. Her hair was done in a similar way to Ambrose's only Ginny's hair is shorter and not black, blue, green, and yellow but red (natural), black (highlights), and white (streaks) and what was covering her eyes was deep pink. She was wearing a red tube top with a black skull on it that showed part of her mid drift. A black mini-skirt lined with red lace. And black boots that went up to her knees. She was also wearing black bangles and a black bag like Ambrose's but Ginny's said 'School prepares you for the real world, which also sucks' with red bunny on it (Happy Bunny again). She had black eye liner on (OH! I forgot Harry and Ambrose are also wearing black eye-liner) and red lip-stick. But what surprised the Weasley clan the most were the piercings, which were along her ears (not as much as Ambrose though), nose and lip.
"How dare you two corrupt my sister!" Ron yelled mainly at Harry.
"We didn't corrupt her, she was dieing to change her appearance, and we just helped a little bit" Ambrose said crossing her arms over her chest.
"I think it's time to leave, Harry we will be at Privet Drive for you in one week." Charlie said.
"Sorry Charlie, but I can't take off for a while; I took off the rest of today, the week before school starts and during school." Harry said.
"Mum can Harry and Ambrose come to #12 today and then?" Ginny asked Molly Weasley.
"Well I don't see why not. What time do you two have to be home?" Molly asked.
"Well Jamie wants me home before mid-night today since tomorrow we have to go to London." Ambrose said.
"Well I'm not going to the Dursley's tonight; they kicked me out for the week. I guess I can leave whenever. Mickey is always out so I can camp out at his flat." Harry said.
"Wait the Dursley's kicked you out of the house?" Mr. Weasley asked surprised?
"Only for the rest of the week, I flipped off Dudley and Vernon got mad. Nothing knew." Harry said like it was nothing.
"Can we go now? I'm getting bored here." Ron said irritably. Harry flipped him off.
"Do you think you can "lose" him before we leave?" Harry asked Fred or was it George.
"Sorry Harry, him and his tail are stuck with us." Fred (or George) said. They walked out of the mall and down to the way back of the parking light to ratty looking truck.
"Everyone in" Bill said "I'm driving!" They all got into the car, Bill in the drivers seat, Mr. Weasley on the passenger side, behind him was Harry, next to him Ambrose and next to her Ginny. Fred, George and Molly Weasley sat behind them and Ron, Charlie, Percy and Hermione sat behind them.
Half hour later
"Are we there yet?" Ambrose asked for the 6th time in 5 minutes.
"No." most of the car said.
"Mmmmmmmmmmmmm how 'bout now?" Harry asked.
"NO!" everyone but Harry, Ginny and Ambrose shouted.
"How 'bout now?" Ginny asked a minute later.
"Uhhh yes! We're here!" Bill said. Everyone got out of the car.
"Ok where are we again?" Harry asked looking around.
"OI! Dad the note!" Fred (or George you pick) said. Mr. Weasley took out two slips of paper
"Read and memorize." He said.
The paper read:
"The headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix may be found at number twelve, Grimmauld Place, London"
"Eh?" Harry and Ambrose asked at the same time. Looking up from their pieces of paper which had been taken from them and sent to flame. When they suddenly noticed a really big house in front of them.
"Ohhh" They said at the same time again
"Dude" Harry started.
"What "Ambrose said
"In devils" Harry said
"Name" Ambrose said
"Just happened?" Harry finished.
"Watch it" Fred said
"You starting" George said
"To sound like us!" they said together as they walked inside the dark house. They were met by the loud singing of Mrs. Black.
"Hush Mrs. Black it's alright. It won't harm your house too much. I'll make sure of that." Ambrose said to the painting.
"OI! Mrs. Black good to see you again! It's been ages!" Harry said to Mrs. Black. Everyone in the room looked dumbstruck at the two odd looking teenagers that just appeared at #12.
"Who may I ask are you two?" Severus Snape asked the three odd looking teens.
"You know, you would think he would know who his most hated student is right?" the boy asked.
"Well you HAVE changed a lot since end of term I'll have you know." The older looking girl said.
"Well I some-what look like I did before." The other girl said, the other two gave her a look. Just then Sirius Black came into the room (not in doggy form).
"What I miss?" He asked. He looked at the three teens.
"HARRY!" he shouted.
"That would be me." The boy now known to the other besides the Weasley's and Hermione.
"What in Merlin's name did you do to your self!" Sirius asked.
"Well Sirius I got a job. That job got me money. And I went shopping and got piercings but don't tell anyone that next week I am getting a tattoo also." Harry said.
"GAH! Harry you can get in trouble for saying that! What if the cops heard you!" The older girl said.
"Oh hush up Ambrose you're getting one too" The younger said. Just then Remus Lupin walked into the room (from the loo!). He stopped mid-step.
"Oh 'ello Ginny, Harry and I'm sorry I don't remember your name." He said to the group of teens.
"Aww Moony you ruined our fun!" Harry said.
"Professor how could you forget your weirdest Hufflepuff!" The older girl said.
"Ahh yes Ambrose Thornson if I remember correctly." Lupin said. The room looked at Harry and Ambrose.
"Why are you here again?" Snape asked.
"Well me and Ambrose were working at Surrey Mall and Bill saw me at the Dark Side so I got Rose over there and we went over to the Weasley's and we 'kidnapped' Ginny for 3 ½ hours. Since I couldn't make my appearance next week as I am working, we came here." Harry said.
"The Dark Side?" a weird looking lady with pink hair asked (Tonks).
"Tattoo place I work at. Don't ask about the name." Harry said. Ambrose took out for cell phone.
"Shit man I gotta get back to Dark Light! Josh is making a mess of the place!" She said. Harry looked at Ambrose.
"What could he do a half hour before closing?" Harry asked.
"Well in the four hours we were gone he: grabbed at 15 girls asses and 1 guys ass on accident, he messed up the whole back storage room, broke the computer system by trying to download games onto it, made 13 different shelves fall. Oh! And flashed every other person who walked in there and flipped off anyone who wouldn't buy anything." Ambrose said. Everyone looked at Ambrose and Harry dumbstruck.
"Run that by us again." Snape said.
"Not now. Gotta leave!" Ambrose said. Mr. Weasley pulled out a muggle pen.
"Here use this portkey to get to this 'Dark Light' store." He said. Ambrose grabbed. Harry hesitantly put two fingers on the pen.
"3… 2…. 1…" Bill counted off before Harry and Ambrose felt the tug behind their navel.
2 hours later
"Later Rose see you tomorrow!" Harry shouted running down the block to the bus station.
