Chapter one George's Pov
It was a week into summer when Dad come home happily cheering. He was beaming and when he got home he twirled Mum around in a circle and she blushed red. He then came and hugged everyone one of us including Harry. Harry looked slightly shocked but not in a bad way as such.
" Molly I won! I won!"
" Won what Arthur dear?" She asked.
" The ministry prize galleon draw."
" You did?"
" Yes I did!"
" How much?"
" Seven hundred galleons."
She dropped the washing she had just picked up shocked and didn't even thinking about picking them up so Harry darted forward for them and picked them up dusting off bits of dirt that had gotten on to it. Mum seemed speechless and had nothing to say.
" Molly I think its time we took the kids on holiday."
" Of course Arthur? Where to?"
" Egypt. That way they can see Bill and it is too dangerous to take all of them to the dragon reserve."
" Of course dear."
" Will Harry be coming?" Ginny asked.
" Of course." Dad said.
" I can pay for myself." Harry put in.
" No dear its fine." Mum said.
" But I need to."
" No its fine seriously Harry." Dad told him.
" But..."
I crouched down slightly to whisper in his ear.
" Harry listen to them they'll pay."
He turned to look at me and I nodded. Everyone else in the room was watching us curiously but happily.
" But?" He whispered back.
" Its fine Harry trust me."
" But its your families money. I can pay for my own." He whispered.
" You are part of this family and one day Harry it will be official."
He beamed and his eyes became slightly teary and I kissed his forehead. He smiled and I took his hand which meant he only had one hand to hold the washing with and it wobbled but he kept a hold on it. Just then Mum bustled over and took the washing from him.
" We are paying Harry and you won't be able to persuade me otherwise."
He smiled at her.
" When are we going?" Percy asked Dad.
" Two days time. We are staying in a hotel out there."
" This is going to be great." Fred cried.
" I can't wait." Ron agreed.
" I need you to pack tonight is that okay?" Mum asked.
" Yes Mum." Most of us chorused.
" Yes Mrs Weasley." Harry said softly.
" Off you go and enjoy your day then."
" Luna's coming over." Ginny cried.
" Can I hang out with you and Luna?" Harry whispered to her.
" Definitely come on we need your expertise."
She pulled him off and he smiled at me before he ran after her trying to make sure that he didn't get hurt. Fred and I smiled seeing them go. Harry and Ginny had become good friends. He had never told me what Tom Riddle had said in the chamber about Ginny but it had made them closer as friends.
The other day she was telling him secrets as she knew he would keep them. Harry was good friends with Luna as well. She had slept over twice since the beginning of the holidays when her Dad had to go and visit her granddad because he was ill and didn't want Luna to see. On some nights she had nightmares.
Flashback
" NO!"
The sound had echoed through the house coming from Ginny's room. Everyone had rushed to see what it was. Luna was sat up clasping the pillow to her chest and she was hiding her face into it.
" Sorry." She whispered.
Harry walked in and sat down next to her and began whispering to her.
" What was it about?"
" The basilisk and its awful eyes." She whispered.
" The Basilisk is dead and it can't come and get you again." Harry murmured to her.
" I know its illogical but I can't help it."
" No its not illogical. I still have dreams that my Uncles coming to get me even though I know full well he has no idea where I am and muggles can't see the Burrow anyway."
" Why are you scared of your uncle?"
Everyone but Fred and I had left at this point. We went to go and comfort Ginny who was blaming herself because of Luna's fear of the Basilisk as she had been under the possession of You-Know-Who. We comforted her while Luna was being comforted by Harry.
" I use to live with my uncle before I came here."
" Is your uncle from your mums side of the family?"
" Its my mums sisters husband."
" Okay."
" Well he hated me. He knew I was magical and didn't want to be. It wasn't until I started primary school when I learnt my name was Harry Potter. Before that I was freak and boy. I was only four at this point so I believed my name was Freak Boy."
" That's awful."
" On the first day of primary I learnt my name. But it was worse than that. As I grew up and started showing signs of magic he...he..."
" Harry you don't have to continue." She said softly.
" No I do. I want to explain why your fear isn't illogical."
" If you need to stop you can though."
" Thanks Luna."
" Its okay."
" He use to beat me. At first it was just things like a hit across the face every now and then."
" That's still bad Harry."
" As I got older it got a lot worse. He started stamping on my arms, legs and chest area at eight."
She hugged him.
" By the time I was eight and two months it was...the...the..."
" Harry."
" No I will tell you. By the time I was eight and a few months it was the belt." He whispered the last word.
" The belt?" She gasped.
" He hit me with the metal part of it and it hurt. Anyway when I went to Hogwarts and Dumbledore found out I thought it would all be over."
" It was wasn't it?"
" He sent me back last summer."
" Oh Harry did he hurt you again?"
" Yeah but he also found a new way to hurt me."
" What?"
" He kept me from George and encouraged Dudley to hurt him. It nearly killed me not knowing if he had and whether George...and Fred were okay."
" I understand now Harry."
" So its not illogical. Everyone's afraid of something."
She hugged him and by this point Ginny was asleep in Fred's arms and he was asleep against the back board. I was tired as well so I fell asleep on the arm chair. Luna and Harry fell asleep top and tail on Luna's bed. Their feet were touching as Harry had said it would help reassure her.
End Flashback
" Come on George." Fred called.
" I'm coming. I'm coming."
We ran out to the old tree house and climbed in. We had to do our homework if we wanted to not get in trouble when we got back to school. Harry and everyone else minus Ron had done it. Harry had helped Ginny and Luna on theirs as he understood it.
We worked together on our charms homework as well as our potions and history of magic. We didn't write much for history of magic. Definitely not as much as he asked for but we had no idea whether he actually read it or not and we were going to find out.
" Shall we go and find the others for a while?" Fred asked.
" Definitely."
We climbed down the steps and walked off towards the house. We had decided to check there for them first. We checked the kitchen, the living room, Harry and Percy's room as well as Ginny's room and they weren't there.
" Where could they be?" I asked Fred.
" Okay if I was two teenage girls and were taking a boy who had no interest in them somewhere where would I go?" Fred said.
" The orchard." We chorused.
We ran out to the orchard where we found Ginny riding her old cleansweep and Luna on her cleansweep. Harry was riding his Nimbus and was carefully guiding Luna around who looked nervous. They weren't far off the ground but she still looked slightly worried.
" See Luna you're safe you're not going to fall."
" But what if I do?"
" I'll catch you."
" Promise?"
" Promise."
" Hey you guys." Fred called.
" Hey." Ginny shouted.
" Hi." Harry said.
" Hello." Luna replied.
" What you doing?" I asked.
" Luna's nervous about flying so Harry's helping her and keeping an eye on me as well."
" Well that's nice of him." Fred said.
" Harry is very nice and kind." Luna said dreamily.
" You okay for a few minutes Luna?" Harry asked her.
" I think I'll be fine for a few minutes."
" Do you remember how to turn?"
" Yes."
" Why don't you fly back and forth for a few minutes and when I come back I will take you slightly higher if you are comfortable with that."
" Okay thank you."
" No problem."
Harry dived down and landed next to me. I smiled and pulled him into a hug. He looked nervous about something though. Fred noticed and took Harry's broom up with Harry's permission to go and fly with Luna.
" Harry?"
" I'm scared." He whispered.
" Of what?" I asked concerned.
" What if Bill hates me?"
" Why would he hate you?"
" I don't know."
" No one hates you."
" My Uncle did." He murmured.
I picked him up and we went and sat against one of the trees. He was shaking nervously. I rubbed circles onto his back with my thumb and he smiled and took his glasses off and snuggled into me.
" Harry your Uncle is a bad person and no one deserves to be hurt especially not you."
" But there must be something wrong with me."
" Harry your uncle is a bastard. He doesn't deserve to have you in his family."
" But he might hate me." He said.
" Bill won't hate you. Bills a good guy."
" If he does you won't hate me will you?"
" Never ever in a million years could I hate you Harry."
" Promise?"
" Promise."
I pressed a kiss to his lips and he froze for a second before he kissed me back sweetly. I smiled and continued to kiss him and his lips moved against mine gently and hesitantly. A blue light surrounded us. Our first kiss. It was the first kiss I had ever had and I was glad that I had finally done it, as it had taken all the patience I possessed to wait until Harry's third year to kiss him. Harry was quite withdrawn from his emotions most of the time. I was ready to tell him at the end of his first year that I loved him, but I had no idea whether he would be ready to say it in return as he was only eleven years old. We continued kissing.
" Ooooh lala." Fred shouted.
We pulled apart to see them all looking at us and Harry blushed and hid his face in my chest and I could tell he was blushing badly and I knew I was as well. Fred came and landed by me and walked over. He pinched my cheeks. I couldn't believe that they had witnessed it. Well, I could as they had been there before, but it was more the fact that I couldn't believe that I had forgotten they were there.
" You my boy are growing up. Awww are you embarrassed?" He cooed.
I kicked him in the shin and hid my face into Harry's hair. Luna landed as did Ginny and they walked back however they left Harrys broom with us so we could use it to get back quicker. When they had fully left I pulled Harry's head up to look at me and he smiled.
Fred's Pov
" Lunch!"
We all raced in and sat down at the table and I left two seats to my left for Harry and George. Ginny sat on my right with Luna on her left and Ron on Lunas left. Mum bustled in with seven plates of food and just then Percy walked downstairs and took a seat next to Ron.
" Where's Harry and George?"
" Probably kissing." Ginny teased.
" Er what have I missed?" Percy asked.
" Well Harry was upset about something so I carried on keeping a watch on Ginny and Luna for Harry and George took him to a side to talk to him and then George kissed him."
" On the lips." Ginny added in giggling.
" Awwww." Percy cooed playfully.
" It was sweet." Luna told Mum.
" Any idea when they will be back?"
Just then it started pouring with rain.
Georges Pov
Around fifteen minutes after they left it began to pour with rain. Harry mounted his broom and pulled me on behind him and we flew home as fast as we could and popped his broom in the shed and then we raced in. When we walked in Mum swept us into a massive hug.
" Its just so sweet." She cooed.
I looked over to see Fred and Ginny were avoiding my eyes and I knew that they had told Mum about me and Harry. Harry was once more blushing tomato red and I was too. She flicked her wand at us drying us off and bustled us into our seats.
" Fred you will regret that." I told him.
" Bring it on." He whispered.
" Done."
Harry began eating his sandwich to the left of me. He was tearing off little bits and then eating them and then ripping off some more. It seemed as if it was a rather slow technique but he seemed fine with it. He paused for a second and turned to look at me.
" Georgie aren't you going to eat?"
" What? Oh yes. I will."
I began to eat my ham sandwich still watching him though. The blue light earlier had surprised me and I had no idea what it meant but I was going to ask Percy later on tonight. I didn't think it was the appropriate lunch conversation. Harry took a swig or pumpkin juice then pushed the rest of his meal away from him.
I looked at his plate. He had only eaten three quarters of his sandwich. He still had a handful of crisps on his plate and a banana yoghurt. I leant over to talk to him not even noticing that we were the only ones who were still sat at the table.
" You know you have to eat more than that Ry."
" Really?"
" Really really."
" Fine."
He ate the rest of his sandwich but I shook my head.
" And the yoghurt. You have been going to Hogwarts for two years and you haven't put on any much needed weight. You are still too skinny."
" Not really."
" Yes you are now eat."
He began eating his yoghurt slowly. I started on my yoghurt my self and made sure he ate all of his and gladly for me he did. He looked as if he felt stuffed when he was done. I smiled kissing him on the forehead as he waited for me to finish patiently sipping at his pumpkin juice.
" Come on Harry."
" Where we going?"
" To see Percy."
I took his hand and led him upstairs and he knocked on the door and Percy answered it and ushered us in.
" Harry this is your room too you could just walk in."
" But you might be busy..."
I smirked but I had a feeling he wasn't thinking something completely different to what I was. Percy seemed to be more on the track that I was.
" I won't be." He said.
" But you get homework as well."
Percy smiled when he worked out they were thinking things completely different.
" I might but you can still walk in."
" Okay."
I had a feeling Harry wouldn't. He would knock and it was one of his main fears was making someone annoyed at him and he was worried that Percy would get annoyed at him. Percy wouldn't but he believed he would.
" Anyway what can I do for you?" Percy asked.
I sat down on Harry's bed pulling him onto my lap before turning to face him. Harry was blushing and Percy was smiling at us.
" I have a question." I said.
" Go on then."
" Well its just when I kissed Harry earlier..."
This made Harry duck his face into my shoulder in effort to hide his burning face.
" Yes?"
" Well there was a blue light and I wanted to know what it was about."
" Blue light...blue light...aha!"
" Yes?"
" The blue light was another stage of the bond being complete."
" Stages of the bond?" I asked.
" Well the first is the mixing of the memories."
" Which we did."
" Then its the first kiss."
" Also done."
" Then its I love you."
I blushed and I don't think Harry was actually listening to that one.
" The next one is to wait until the youngest bond mate is seventeen."
I blushed realising what it was.
" Er...?" Harry asked.
I leant down to whisper the answer in his ear and his eyes went wide and rolled back into his head. I looked at Percy who was smirking. Just then Fred flew through the door.
" Come on I need to show you guys something."
" What should I do with Harry?" I asked.
" He can walk and I invited him along too." Fred said.
" What I mean is that he's passed out."
" Oh what happened?"
" Percy was telling us the stages of the bonds and Harry didn't understand what Percy meant to what he said so I told him and he fainted."
" What did Percy say?"
" I said the next one is to wait until the youngest bond mate is seventeen."
" Oh. OH!"
" Er yeah and I whispered the answer to him."
" Hmm."
" Yeah."
" Shall we go and give him to Mum to look after?" Fred asked.
" Yeah and then she will force feed him." I agreed.
" Come on then hooligans." Percy said.
" Yes Sir."
" That's the second time I have ever been called sir and its weird."
" Who was the first person?" Fred asked.
" Harry."
" Oh."
We walked downstairs and left Harry to Mum though it took a while to explain why he had passed out in the first place. She had blushed when we had eventually told her and hurried us off and we followed Fred to see what he had accomplished. It was box that once Bill opened would prank him.
