Sorry for not posting this earlier but I've been like really busy lately. I've been working thne school started and then I had some other stories to finish. Then my old dog died and for couple days I was really out of it. But now I'm back.

Enjoy and review, it makes me very happy!

The summer

The summer went slowly for Lucy. Due to the triplets tradition of doing their homework at the last minute (which Ron immediately imitated) they had a whole summer of time to do practically anything, as long as it didn't include magic. So the triplets had taken upon themselves to lift up the mood of the house by pranking nonstop. But due to Percy locking himself into his room (who knows or cares for what reason) and Ginny being the baby of the family and so off limits (at least couple more years), their only pranking target was Ron.

But pranking him grew boring pretty quickly since his reactions weren't nearly as fun to watch as Percy's, or as creative by any stretch of imagination.

They of course played Quidditch whenever possible and forced Ron to play the keeper and to say it nicely, he wasn't nearly as good as Oliver Wood was. Far from it. So the games were usually pretty unfair to those who had Ron on their team. Maybe with little practice and some more confidence Ron would be a decent, maybe even a good keeper. Who knows?

And now Ginny had developed a phase where she spoke nonstop. She was going to Hogwarts this year and was asking million and one questions every day. And of course now that she knew that Ron was Harry Potter's best friend she grilled Ron about him, since she was probably Harry's number one fan (which Lucy knew, Harry would most likely hate since he didn't like being in the spot light he was forced to be in). The triplets tried to avoid Ginny as gently and as much as possible since they were sure their ears were going to burst due to her constant talking.

But then after a while a couple weeks or so, Ron started to send letters to Harry, and something went wrong.

At first it was fine and all, but then whenever Lucy asked Ron about Harry's reply's to his letters Ron always answered that Harry hadn't sent anything back. And that's what started to worry Lucy.

At first she thought it was Errol's fault (Errol was their aged owl and was probably the worst post owl in history). But then when she checked she noticed that Errol had indeed delivered the letters but he always came back with no answer.

And from what Lucy could see at the platform at the end of the year and from what she had heard during the year, she knew that Harry and his relatives didn't exactly see eye to eye, so naturally he'd at least write to somebody who'd be little more like him and that person would most likely be Ron.

Ron even told her that he had sent couple letters to Hermione to ask if she had heard anything but she hadn't gotten anything either and after hearing that Lucy was all but panicked.

What could have happened to her little brother?

Even Mr. and Mrs. Weasley eventually found this strange. They didn't actually think that Dursley's had done anything, but they didn't like how Harry didn't reply. The twins teased Ron about how Harry was too busy being famous to write to Ron, but in secret they too were worried and of course Lucy sent them so nasty glare that would make most men go running for their mommies the twins didn't tease Ron anymore. About that subject.

During the month with no reply from Harry, Lucy had started to get nightmares of what could possibly keep her brother from writing. And the nightmares only grew worse and worse every night. Sometimes she would wake up screaming, waking Ginny at the same time. Once she even did some accidental magic and their bed side lamp exploded after she woke up screaming.

Mrs. Weasley was worried about her, but Lucy always said that they were just nightmares. But she knew that even though Mrs. Weasly bought it the twins didn't. But they also didn't push it either, knowing that whatever made their best friend wake up screaming in the middle of the night had to be bad and she obviously didn't want to talk about it, since she hadn't already told them anything like she usually would if she wanted to.

So in effort to do something to help, Mrs. Weasley had started to cook a Dreamless potion for Lucy every evening after she almost collapsed one day due the lack of good sleep. And Lucy gratefully took the potion and for the first time in a month she slept without nightmares (or dreams for that matter).

One day after a month since Ron had send the first letter to Harry, followed by at least a dozen more, Mr. Weasley came back after work and told everyone that Harry had gotten an official warning for using magic in front of Muggles. That worried everybody. And made the triplets head wheels spin. There was a plan forming in their scheming minds and it was a good one.

They entered Mr. Weasley's shed and immediately saw the old Fort Anglia Mr. Weasley had bought from some Muggle auction some years ago, angering Mr. Weasley at the same time, since he had wasted money on an old, almost unusable, car. But then Mr. Weasley took the car and modified it so that it would fly (and move), as he did to all his muggle stuff he got angering Mrs. Weasley beyond safe, but after he explained that it wasn't against the law and that he would not use it to fly around, Mrs. Weasley let it go.

But the triples were going to use the car.

That night they told Ron about their plan and he was immediately on board with it. They were going to fly in the dark of the night to Harry's house, get him out of there and bring him to the Burrow for the rest of the summer no matter what. And nobody was going to stop them if they could help it so it was obvious that they didn't tell anyone about their plan. They would just tell everyone that Harry had come on his own to visit. Mrs. Weasley would buy it. Hopefully.

Now that the plan was in motion Lucy was more anxious than ever to know what was wrong with Harry.
