A/N: This is my second fan fic YAY! lol…I got the idea for this when I was at my friends house and she was making me watch a show on MTV….the show turned out to be really funny so I decided to make a story along the lines of it. This was written b4 HBP so basically...no spoilers...
Ans thanx to invisible cappucino conspiracy who originally was goin to just b my beta but is now helpin write da story...
Harry, Ron, and Hermione were in a compartment on the Hogwarts Express going home after their long sixth year of Hogwarts.
"Do either of you have plans for the summer?" Hermione asked.
"No, I probably won't be able to get out of the house much….the Dursley's are still mad about me leaving without them knowing last summer." Harry answered.
"Umm….I think I'm just going to sit around at home and practice Quidditch and stuff like that." Ron answered not really caring what he was doing over the summer. "Are you doing anything?"
"Last time I talked to my parents they said that it would be a good idea to get a job this summer so I have extra money when we go to Hogsmeade next year. So I think I might try to get a job at Diagon Alley. You two should too. Then we could all get a little extra money for next year." Hermione said hoping they would say yes.
"Err like I said before 'Mione, I don't think I will be able to get out if the house and besides, I don't need the money." Harry told her.
"I'm sure you could get out of the house somehow and money doesn't last forever you know. What if you wanted to buy something really expensive, then you would have less and more money wouldn't be going into you pocket without a job and…." Harry cut her off.
"Well, when that happened then I'll get a job." Harry said as Ron laughed.
"Fine! Ron what about you?" She asked.
"Nah…"
"Why not? And don't even think about using the same excuses as Harry because, I'm sorry to say, neither applies to you."
"I uhh… I was thinking of helping Fred and George test their things or something at home. You know, so I wouldn't have to go out and have an opportunity of getting fired." Ron told her.
"Fine!" Hermione said as she got up from where she was sitting, grabbed a book from her trunk, and sat down on the other side of the compartment away from Harry and Ron.
While Hermione was reading Harry and Ron continued talking about summer. "I really wish I could go to London for the summer." Harry said. "Whenever I go there I go strait into the Leaky Cauldron, and don't spend any time in the town itself. It's so big I wonder what is there."
"Yeah, that would be cool." Ron agreed. "If you can get out of the house we should go there instead of getting jobs." Ron laughed.
"When I get home I'll try and see if they will let me go and I'll owl you with the answer." Harry told him.
A few minutes later Ginny came into the compartment. "What have you been doing? I thought you were coming rite back." Ron asked.
"Ron didn't you get the notice… 'I'll be rite back' now means 'I'll be back in 1 hour'." Harry and Ron laughed.
"You two can be so annoying sometimes." Ginny said.
"I know what you mean." Hermione agreed.
"We are nearly there; we better get out trunks down." Ginny said.
Once they all had their trunks down the train stopped, and Harry, Ron, Ginny, and Hermione got out of the train and looked around the platform to see if Mr. or Mrs. Weasley was there; Harry's Aunt and Uncle would never come onto the platform and Hermione's parents said they would wait for her in the train station for her.
When they saw Mrs. Weasley waiting for them they walked over to her and said hi. She gave each of them a hug. When she did that she turned to Harry. "Harry, I talked to your Aunt and Uncle, and they agreed to have you come and stay with us for the summer." She started. "How did you do that…?" Harry interrupted. "I'll explain when you come; we'll be coming by floo powder in a week. Hermione you know you are welcome anytime if you would like to come to."
"Thanks for the invite, but I am planning on getting a job in Diagon Alley this summer so I probably will be busy." Hermione told Mrs. Weasley.
"It would be easier to get to Diagon Alley from our house, but if you don't think you can…. it's your decision." Mrs. Weasley said. "We better get going. Harry, we'll see you next week, and Hermione hopefully we'll see you over the summer. Bye."
"Bye." Ron and Ginny said to them.
"Bye." Hermione and Harry echoed back.
When Harry got back to the Dursley's house they had to leave rite away and leave Harry home. They were going to Marge's house for dinner and after what happened last time they weren't about to bring him with them. This time was different though. They didn't tell him to stay in his room, they didn't lock the fridge, and they didn't tell him not to watch TV. The only thing they told him was that they would be back late and not to have dinner ready and to not leave the house. Since they didn't do some things he wanted to do, Harry thought that it would be ok to do them. He want down into the kitchen, got himself something to eat (he also filled the spot under his floor board with some food for later) and sat down in the living room to watch TV. When he turned it on it was on MTV. He decided to watch it, just to see what the show was (it was a new show coming on) when the show started it seemed really weird, but he was going to watch a little more. It was a show called Andy Milonakis show. It turned out to be really funny. It was an American show so Harry had never been to the places that the boy went to, the show was made up of skits, in one skit, the boy, Andy went into New York City and started talking to people and doing weird things. The show gave Harry an idea and ran upstairs to his room to tell Ron in a letter. When he was done he gave it to Hedwig and sent her out through the window.
About 2 hours later Harry heard his aunt, uncle, and cousin pull up in their car. He quickly turned off the TV and went into his room, and laid down on his bed. Eventually his tiredness took over and he fell asleep.
