1 Familiar Faces
Disclaimer:I don't own it… I will not do this every chapter okay. Lets just pretend for a minute that you guys don't need to be reminded constantly aiight?
Summary: Harry just got off the knight bus and is walking to the burrow. Its… let's say 7:00 because it can't be too late because it was the knight bus. But the Weasleys have to be awake too.
A/N: okay, I know I have a million typos, please do not judge the story by the way I spell. I would like to say that English is not my first language but it is. So there ;) anywho, I hope ya'll liked the last chap, although I didn't get any reviews. ( Please review, whether you like it or not. Flames will be used for the marshmallows that by the way are very good burnt to crisp! I'd like criticism that I can use. If I continuously use a word wrong I don't mind you correcting me, or spell a character's name wrong like Remus (which I kept saying Remius). So pleez review and try to enjoy the story, if you just don't like it because it's not your type, I understand just stop.
Warnings: none yet.
"Later." Harry yelled nonchalantly over his shoulder to Stan, then walked all too happily to the burrow.
It was still chilly and the sun was just rising. It couldn't have been more than 7:30 or 8:00. Right before Harry had the opportunity to knock on the door, Ron and Hermione stepped out grinning from ear to ear. "Hey Harry! How are you?" Hermione asked him a little more high pitched than necessary. Yea, how has it been?" Ron said patting him on the back. Harry could tell that his voice was quite a bit deeper than last year. Other than that they looked like the same friends he left at the train station.
Then looking closer, he saw more, they were not the Ron and Hermione that he left behind. They were indeed older. Ron had gotten taller yet, and looked goofy standing so tall and thin. He had messier hair, and it was obviously made to stand on end. His god-forsaken nose had even grown, and he had twice as many freckles.
Hermione had changed even more, she was taller, slimmer, and her face seemed to almost change features. She no longer looked like a girl. She looked like a woman. Her lips were a soft warm pink color and her cheeks stood out more. Her hair, once bushy was tamer and was full of soft honey colored curls. She had bigger hips and of course she had a broader chest. Then again like last year at the Yule ball, she seemed to hold herself quite differently.
"Hey guys!" Harry said cheerily. "What have you been up too?" he asked, wanting to know immediately what had been going on while he was at the Dursleys.
"Boy have we got some stories!" Ron told him. So Harry followed them inside and caught up on happenings.
Ron, herm, Harry, Mrs. Weasley, and Mr. Weasley all sat at the breakfast table eating molly's delicious waffles. Not a word slipped out. They had already talked all they possibly could on any subject possible, well, that is except Voldemort. That's what held everyone tense. Nobody wanted to start the conversation, but everyone wanted to talk about it.
:: bump BUMP BUMP!:: Rumbled a bouncing down the stairs, not a hair twitched from the Weasleys, but herm and Harry almost fell out of their chairs. Neither had been quite used to the twins constant explosions and dramatic entrances. They were each quite sure they never would be.
"Good morning world!" cried George (or what seemed to be.) coming from the doorway and entering the kitchen followed by his brother grinning like idiots. "Oy Scarface! How's it been?" Fred said practically tripping to where he was. "Any headaches recently my fragile friend? Been holding up well from all of the autographs? You know the chicks love the hero!" Fred said easily cracking a joke. Well, at least he's still happy Harry thought. It was quite nice to have someone who didn't jump back in fear of him. They held out well, still the laughing fools they always were. Which is actually more good than bad.
"I am fine thank you very much!" Harry answered daintily fluttering his eyes. "I am not in need of any autographs! I have enough fans back home!" Harry said jokingly. Fred patted Harry on the back; obviously happy to see Harry hadn't lost it…completely.
"Oh, yea! Guys, I got you all a little something." Harry told them happily noticing the eager looks on their faces. "Gather round, yes, that's the ticket!" Harry said, reaching into his trunk and pulling out gifts. "Mr. Weasley, for you, a compass!" Harry said hanging it to him.
"Wow! …What does it do?" he asked Harry, Hermione walked of to him and started explaining to him about ships and navigation and such.
"Fred, George, for you, nose rings, well not really." He added at the shock on Mrs. Weasley's face. "Here Mrs. Weasley, earrings, Harry said handing them to her.
"Oh!" she cried, tears springing in the corners of her eyes. Harry never felt better; to see the happy looks on their faces was the world to him.
"Hermione, here, its Shakespeare." Harry said, she looked like she would have jumped clear over the table had he not thrown the large book to her. "Ron, I got you a few small things." He told him bringing each item out one by one. "Hair gel, toilet water, and a chain necklace. All of the guys are wearing them now, see." Harry said, pulling out his own that Bren had bought him.
"Oh! Wicked! Um… toilet water?"
"It's like a light cologne." Harry said hurriedly, not wanting him to think he got it from a commode. Just then, bill came running down the stairs, followed by Charlie.
"Ginny's on her way, she's still owling Cid!" Bill said exasperated.
Ah, so Cid is it? Cid? What kind of name is that? Does he go to Hogwarts? Harry thought. Looking at the stairway, waiting for Ginny to come down.
"Yo! Earth to Potter!" Ron yelled in his ear. "What about Bill and Charlie?" he asked him.
"Oh, yea of course!" Harry said and handed both Charlie and Bill their gifts. Watching Bills eyes smile as he looked at the bold print on the shirt.
"Niiiiiiice!" he said softly and laughed. Charlie sat down and fastened his watch.
"Here comes Virginia now." Mr. Weasley said and looked as they heard her coming down the stairs. Harry watched as he saw she run quickly into the kitchen to greet them all in her baby blue pajamas..
"Hey, Morning!" she said softly her voice nowhere near the high-pitched squeak it was in second year. Then she looked at him. "Harry! How are you? I didn't think you were coming until tonight!" she said joyously.
"Well…I…uh." Harry stuttered. He didn't want to tell her about the squabble with the Dursleys. It just didn't seem proper. "I really wanted to see you all. Oh yes, I got you something too." He said and pulled out the dainty box.
"Thanks!" she said and before he could have a chance to move, reached over and gave him a one armed hug. "That's nice" she said popping off box top and looked at the dress with her eyes almost popping out of her head.
"I wasn't sure what to get you, so I understand if you don't like it or if it's too much or anything." Harry said quickly.
"New clothes! Oh my goodness Harry of course I like it! It's gorgeous!" She shouted and this time she about threw herself on him hugging him and held on slightly longer than necessary, giving Fred and George the idea that she wasn't quite as over Harry as she let everyone believe. They weren't as fooled as she thought they were.
"Oh! Well then…err that's good!" Harry said turning crimson at Fred and Georges odd stares. "Err, so then, I'll be unpacking now." Harry quietly told everyone and went upstairs followed by the Ron
A/N: Okay. I hope you all liked it. I like putting the characters in awkward situations. I find it fun to embarrass them and then laugh about it. So you should expect quite a bit of that. I know I a late of updating, but I have a lot on my hands, I have got some pretty big tests coming up and I am trying to get into a school. It depends on my test whether I make it. Anywho, please review, it helps a lot, if I get more reviews then I will be encouraged to write more, well, good reviews that is.
