Chapter 3: The Potter Family Volt

Disclaimer: I own nothing

Harry awoke very reluctantly the next morning. When he finally opened his eyes he saw Ginny lying next to him, she was sill asleep, then Harry leaned forward and kissed her forehead, he then got up and stretched grabbed his shirt and put it over his head. He looked sideways at Hermione's bed it was already made and she was probably downstairs eating breakfast. Harry glanced back at Ginny she was still asleep, Harry tiptoed out of the room and headed downstairs.

When Harry got down there he saw Ron and Hermione talking, Fleur was sitting at the end of the table waiting for Bill. Mrs Weasly was sitting down finishing her breakfast and staring at her clock waiting for Mr Weasly's hand to turn to travelling, when she spotted Harry.

"Harry dear what would you like for breakfast?" she said getting up. Fleur looked at him.

"Nothing Mrs Weasly I'm fine"

"Hello 'Arry" said Fleur then she continued to stare into space.

"Hi" he said then turned and strode over to Ron and Hermione. Harry sat down next to Hermione. Just then an owl came zooming through the window. It dropped a letter in front of Fleur and flew out of the window. Fleur opened the letter and read it, and then she started to cry and dropped the piece of parchment. Mrs Weasly read the letter through and then went over to Fleur.

"Don't worry dear we can postpone the wedding till Christmas it'll be nicer then anyway. Said Mrs Weasly in a sweet voice, Fleur began to stop crying and smiled. Ron picked up the letter and read it quietly to Harry and Hermione.

"Dear Fleur I will not be able to attend your wedding because I was gravely injured when I was cursed by a death eater and I wont be out for some months sorry to miss your special day,

Delecour senior.

Just then Ginny came downstairs she looked around then came over to Harry and sat down next to him.

"What's going on?" she whispered into Harry's ear Harry handed her the note she read it, then gave a faint smile.

The rest of the holidays past without incident. All of the Weasly family had come home to celebrate Harry's birthday he had been given loads of things a book on Quidditch Ron had given him broom repair kit. The twins had given Harry a variety of different products from there shop. It was one of Harry's best birthdays. It was also his best summer. Most of the Weasly's noticed Harry and Ginny were back together except Mr Weasly who rarely appeared at breakfast but was seen most days at dinner.

"And he was much happier to have Ginny with him now" he was as happy as any person could be. Though Ron had seemed a little uneasy about taking his sister with them to find the Horcruxes.

Harry had received his letter a week before school, he was surprised to see that he was Quiditch captain again, Harry had almost forgotten about Quiditch he hadn't played in months. He needed to go to Diagon ally to get his new books and robes. Harry had groan very tall in the last summer his robes only came to his ankles. He just needed to get two new books

The advance book of spells grade 7 by Miranda Goshawk and the advance potion making, grade seven.

They used floo powder to get to Diagon ally and they emerged in a small wand shop but no one was there so they walked out of the shop and headed towards Gringots.

When they got there The Weasly's Harry and Hermione all squished into one cart and set off towards the volts. They visited the Weasly's volt first, there seemed to be a lot more silver sickles and quite a few more gold galleons the last time Harry had been Harry guessed this was because Mr Weasly had been promoted. Mrs Weasly grabbed half of the coins and poured them into a bag.

Next they visited The Potter family volt Harry gasped and so did the Weasly's

There stood a pile to the ceiling of gold galleons, silver sickles and bronze knuts. There were also two things in the volt Harry found out of place. There was a locket and a scroll of parchment. Harry picked them both up and unravelled the piece of parchment; it was a map of Godric's Hollow. Harry quickly rolled it back up and stuffed it in his pocket he then put the locket on and grabbed a handful of coins from the volt and closed the door.

While they were riding back in the cart Harry had a look at the locket it was pure gold and the end was shaped as a heart he opened the end of it and gazed opened mouthed. The locket contained a picture of his mum and dad, his dad on the right and his mum on the left but on top of it was a partly transparent Bright red ruby the size of the locket, so his mum and dad had red faces and they where both smiling at him.

After they had got out of Gringots Harry Ron Hermione and Ginny had gone to get their new school things the streets weren't very busy but there was still a fair few people around.

After all four of them had gotten all there things they headed to Weasly's Wizard Weases Harry felt like he needed a laugh. When they got there they found a few people looking around for things like a skiving snackboxes and some of Fred and Georges perfected fireworks. Harry decided to get a few skiving snackboxes and some fireworks just in case he also bought some instant darkness powder he had a feeling he would need it this year.

Harry had insisted to pay a galleon for it all but Fred wouldn't let him.

"No Harry you helped us create this you can have anything you want for free" he whispered into Harry's ear. Harry had reluctantly agreed to take it all he had then waved back to Fred and George and left the shop with Ron Ginny and Hermione Ron had bought some extendable ears since crookshanks had ripped his other set to shreds. Hermione had bought a shield cloak and said that it was for Neville and Ginny had bought some instant Darkness powder like Harry.

They had then met up with Mrs Weasly who had been buying floo powder. They then went back through the shop and back to the Burrow.

As soon as Harry had got back he got all his things and dumped them underneath his bed then he took the locket from around his neck. Harry rifled through his trunk until he found it, a picture of Ginny Harry shrunk it to the right size then got a picture of himself witch Colin had given him in his third year.

Harry then removed the Ruby from the locket and placed his and Ginny's picture under the ones of his parents he then put the Ruby back in and closed the locket he then put over his head and tucked the bottom of the locket into his shirt. Harry promised to himself he would wear it for good luck.

That night Harry went down to dinner to find all of the Weasly's sitting at the table deep in conversation with each other. Harry went and sat down next to Mr Weasly.

"Mr Weasly do you know if there are any apparition tests I could take"

"Yes Harry actually there is one tomorrow if you want to go Ron can come to" as he finished his sentence Mrs Weasly handed him a plate of spaghetti.

"Thank you Molly" Mrs Weasly then handed Harry a plate to and Harry started eating some of it.

That night Harry told Ron that they could take a test at the ministry tomorrow.

"I hope I don't lose half an eyebrow again" said Ron sarcastically and got into bed.

"Ron after the test tomorrow morning do you wan't to play Quiditch" Harry whispered

"Alright" Ron yawned after this and Harry heard him snoring. Harry fell into a deep dreamless sleep.
