Harry Potter Fanfic Yr. 1-7

Ch.2 A Sister

Harry felt like he was spinning and every once in awhile he could see glimpses of different fireplaces. Suddenly he stopped spinning and hit solid ground. The sudden dizziness that overwhelmed him and the feel of hitting solid ground made him topple out of the fireplace and onto a living room floor. Remus chuckled and helped him up. "I fell the first time I flooed too." Harry grinned sheepishly then looked around. On the armchair there was a scarf knitting itself and the whole house felt warm and inviting. "This place is…wonderful. Where are we?" Remus grinned. "This is the Burrow. Home of Arthur and Molly Weasley and their children. Now come on I bet Molly is in the kitchen cooking, she'd love to meet you." Harry nodded and followed him into the kitchen where a little, plump woman was making potatoes cut themselves. "Hello Molly." Remus said, making the woman jump. She turned around to face them. "Oh! Hello Remus you gave me a start." Remus smiled. "I'm sorry Molly, we just flooed in. Surprised you didn't hear us with Harry falling out of the fireplace." Mrs. Weasley frowned. "Harry? Harry's here?" Harry walked out from behind Remus and smiled shyly at Mrs. Weasley. "Hello Mrs. Weasley, My name is Harry Potter." Mrs. Weasley smiled and to Harrys surprise, walked up to him and gave him a bone crushing hug. Harry hugged her back awkwardly, having never been hugged before. He grinned as she let go of him and looked him over. "My dear your so thin…do they feed you at home?" Harry grimaced and shook his head. "Only enough to keep me alive." Mrs. Weasley shook her head sadly. "Well it's almost dinner time so how about you and Remus go and find the kids so we can eat. My husband should be home soon also." Harry nodded and followed Remus outside the house to find everyone. Remus smiled down at Harry. "How did you like Mrs. Weasley?" Harry grinned. "She was really nice, so where's my sister at? I want to meet her." Remus grinned. "I bet her and her friend Ginny are down by the river swimming, let's go and get them first then we can go find the rest." Harry nodded and followed him down to the river.

As they reached the river Harry could hear splashing and a girls' voice yell out for help. He ran over to the water to see a small girl with red hair and freckles in the river splashing around screaming for help. He saw her fall under the water and before Remus could stop him Harry took off his shirt and jumped into the water after the girl. The Dursleys didn't know it but Harry snuck down to their pool almost every night during the summer since he was 6 to swim. Over time he had become a very powerful swimmer.

Harry swam as hard and as fast as he could over to the small girl and grabbed her around the waist. She clung to him frantically. "Please help me!" Harry smiled reassuringly at her. "It's okay I'm going to swim you to shore just hold on to me." As he said this he kicked hard with his legs and started to paddle them back to shore. A few minutes later Harry and the girl returned to the shore. Harry lay down on the grass and panted for breath. The girl lay next to him, also panting. Remus ran up to them frowning in concern. "Are you two alright?" Harry and the girl nodded, and Harry sat up. "Harry that was brilliant but I don't want you doing that again. You scared me half to death. I was going to levitate her out but when I saw you jump in I was too scared to move, let alone cast a spell." Harry grinned sheepishly. "Sorry Remus, when I saw her in the water I forgot all about magic and so I did the first thing that came to my mind." He looked at the girl next to him and smiled. "Are you sure your okay?" the girl smiled, then nodded. "Yes, thank you. My name is Ginny Weasley." Harry grinned. "Hi! My name is Harry Potter; do you happen to know where my little sister is? I'd like to meet her." Ginny stood up and grinned. "Yeah, follow me, I'll show you where she is." Remus smiled. "You two go find Lily; I'll go and find the boys." Ginny nodded then told Harry to follow her. Harry nodded and followed the girl.

Harry looked over at Ginny and smiled. "What happened to make you go that deep into the water?" Ginny blushed. "Well, I wasn't paying attention and I walked to far out into the river where a drop off is and I fell into it, and while we are on the subject thanks for saving me. I don't think I've ever seen anyone swim like that." Harry grinned. "I used to sneak out of the house and practice while my aunt and uncle were sleeping. I love to swim but they wouldn't let me do it. I was basically their slave so anything that made me happy was stripped away." Ginny looked at him sadly. "Oh…I'm sorry I didn't mean to bring something like that up." Harry laughed and grinned at her. "Don't worry about it. I got used to it and plus it'll never have to happen again since I'm going to Hogwarts my aunt and uncle don't want anything to do with me, so I don't live with them anymore." Ginny grinned and nodded. "Alright well your sister is up there in that tree house. I went down to get something to drink for us when I fell into the water." Harry grinned a little nervously. "Alright well after you." Ginny nodded and climbed up the ladder and into the tree house. As he climbed up he could hear another female voice.

"Why are you soaking wet! Are you okay?" he stayed on the ladder feeling a little nervous about seeing his sister. "Oh I'm fine, I was walking in the river and fell in and someone jumped in and saved me. guess who it was…" Harry grinned, he could tell that Ginny wanted him to stay out until she called him. "Was it Uncle Remus? Did he save you or one of your brothers?" Ginny shook her head. "No it wasn't one of them. Do you give up?" Lily nodded vigorously. Ginny laughed. "Come on up Harry?" Lily looked around. "Harry?" Harry crawled into the tree house and smiled at the girl next to Ginny. Lily had long red hair and shocking Hazel eyes, she was about the same size and shape as Ginny. "Hi, my name is Harry Potter, and I'm guessing you're my little sister?" Lily grinned and jumped over to Harry and hugged him. "Harry! I never thought I really had a brother!" Harry laughed. "Yes well at least you were told you had a brother, I never knew I had a sister until today." Harry wrapped his arms around her and hugged her. "Oh by the way, your mom said it was time to eat." He said as he looked over at Ginny. Ginny grinned, "Alright well you two stop hugging and let's go eat." She got up and went down the ladder. Lily looked up at her brother. "Come on Harry, Mrs. Weasley cooks the best food you'll ever eat." Harry nodded and Lily got up and walked down the ladder followed closely by Harry.

Harry walked with his sister and Ginny back to the Burrow. Harry had his arm around his sister. They walked back with Harry asking Lily about her self. What she liked to do, her favorite color, music, sport, about her life. Lily answered him happily. "Well…I like to hang out with Ginny and her brothers. My favorite color is red; I love rock music…especially the weird sisters. My favorite sport is quidditch." She went on and on about living with Remus, the different things she's seen and about meeting the Weasleys. When she finished talking about meeting Ginny they reached the back door to the house. Harry let go of his sister and opened the door for the two girls to go in. Ginny blushed and went in and Lily grinned. "Awe…my brothers a gentleman." Harry grinned. "Well, I do try." As he walked into the house he was hit by the loud sound of many people talking. He followed behind the girls as they entered the kitchen. He looked around the kitchen with wide eyes. Sitting around the table was Mrs. Weasley, who he'd already met, a boy about his age, a set of twin boys, and another older boy with horn rimmed glasses. Sitting next to the twins was Remus. 'I wonder where their dad is.' He thought as he stood in the door way with the girls.

Just as he thought that a kind voice from behind him said. "Hello and who are you?" Harry jumped startled and turned around quickly to see a balding man with flame red hair, freckles and glasses. "oh…hi sir…my name is Harry Potter." The man looked at him intrigued. "Are you really? Well hello Harry, I'm Arthur Weasley." Harry smiled and nodded. "Hello Mr. Weasley." Everyone one of the boys in the Kitchen had stopped talking and was looking at Harry, though he didn't notice. Remus smiled and walked over to Harry. "Well hello Harry I see that you've met Arthur, and your sweet little sister." Lily groaned at that and shot her uncle a look. "Uncle Remus…" she moaned. Harry grinned. "don't like to be called little huh little sis?" Lily growled and elbowed him in the ribs, then smiled. "No I don't" she growled playfully which made Harrys smile broaden.

Remus chuckled, watching the two, then looked at Arthur. "You know, they just met and they are already acting like brother and sister." Arthur laughed. "Yes well, before you two start rowing, lets eat." He looked at his daughter and frowned, noticing she was wet. "Honey…why are you wet?" Ginny blushed then told her dad about falling into the river and how Harry jumped in and saved her. Arthur looked at Harry, noticing that he was missing his shirt. He smiled warmly. "Well I thank you Harry for saving my daughter. I don't know what I would have done if I lost her." Harry blushed. "It's no problem sir." Arthur beamed at him. "Well Ginny you go upstairs and change clothes." He looked at his youngest son. "Ron, show Harry up to your room and give him a towel and some of your clothes to wear." Ron nodded and stood up then walked up to Harry. "Come on, I'll show you where my room is and give you a towel with some clothes." Harry nodded and followed the boy upstairs.

On the way upstairs Harry and Ron asked questions about each other and Harry found out that this year will be Rons first year at Hogwarts too. Ron told him about quidditch and his favorite team. After hearing about the rules, and how to play a game Harry couldn't wait to get to school and watch a match. Ron also told Harry about his favorite quidditch team the Chudley Cannons. Harry told Ron about his muggle relatives and how he never knew he had a little sister. By the time they reached Rons room they basically knew everything about each other. When they reached his room Ron gave Harry a towel and some clean clothes to put on and waited outside the room until Harry changed.

Harry came out of the room. "Well at least these clothes fit a hell of a lot better then the ones I was wearing." He laughed as he came out in a pair of jeans and a plain red t-shirt. Ron grinned. "yeah they do. In those shorts you looked like you were wearing elephant skin. Harry laughed. "That reminds me…where did my shirt go?" Ron shrugged. "Who knows but I'm starving…let's go down and eat." Harry nodded as his stomach started to growl. "Well it seems like I am hungry to, let's go." He and Ron went back down to eat with Ron's family. After eating Harry went to bed in Ron's room.
