AN: Okay, I am sorry. I know it was meant to be up last night, and to be honest I don't really have an excuse. I mean I was exhausted and stuff, but it is not worth it. Anyway, I got my hair dyed black, and I love it. It was also trimmed. It took three hours ish to do. That involved dyeing it, washing it, trimming it, straightening it and so much more. I do not want to do that again. It takes ages!

Chapter four Harry's Pov

" Bye I think I might get some time off to see some of it." Bill said.

" Some of what?" Fred and George begged.

" Sorry its secret until the ministry feels free to release it."

" Stop quoting Percy." Ginny said.

" Don't be mean about Percy." I said.

" Good on you Harry dear for not been mean about Percy. Boys and Ginny stop been mean about your brother."

" Sorry Mum."

" Thank you."

" All right now be good."

" We will."

" I'm talking to you and Fred mainly George." She told the twin stood next to me.

" Er Mrs Weasley that's Fred."

" Oh sorry dear I should have realised if it was George he would be holding your hand." She said.

I blushed bright red.

" Right have a good year everyone. I'll see you in the summer."

" Why not at Christmas?" Ginny asked.

" You will find out later on."

We got on the train and found a compartment. We all settled down into it and five minutes later were joined by Luna who gasped.

" Oh Harry I'm so sorry." She said tears springing to her eyes.

" Come here Luna."

She walked over to me and I pulled her into a hug.

" Its not your fault."

" But I hit you."

" Only because Ginny did it as your forfeit."

" But I could have told them."

" If you don't feel comfortable telling them then you don't have to. I'd rather have a bruised face than have you being embarassed."

" Thanks Harry."

" No problem."

We settled in on the seats comfortably. I hadn't gotten much sleep recently because of nightmares and I rested my head on the window but it wasn't comfortable in the slightest. George shifted me around and he traded places with Hermione so my head was in his lap and I curled my legs up until Hermione pulled me them into her lap.

I sat up for a minute and pulled my shoes off so it would be easier for her and got changed into my robes. I then gave Fred some money.

" Everyone get yourself something out of that."

" No."

" It wasn't an option."

" But..."

" Please." I said pulling my puppy dog eyes.

" Okay." George said.

" George!" Fred cried.

" I'm sorry but look at his little face."

" Seriously George."

" Sorry."

I sighed closing my eyes grabbing Georges hand before falling asleep. I dreamt of a hippogriff flying across the mountains until it was shot down making dream me jump slightly. I ran over and tried to heal it until its blood was drank by a hooded figure. I watched horrified as I realised it was actually Susan wearing the cloak. Justin then came up and they started chanting some sort of spell.

Hannah and then came and cried over the hippogriff loosing its life and Justin sent a green spell at her. It was then that the mountain disappeared and I fell and landed in Hogsmeade. I watched as the cloaked figures from the quidditch world cup marched through.

My dream was making me dizzy at how it was changing. I was then in my dorms at Hogwarts and being ignored by everyone. It kept changing until I sat up abruptly wide awake. Everyone looked at me.

" You all right Ry?"

" Weird nightmare."

" What was it about?"

" I have no idea it kept changing from different one scene to another."

" Oh."

I lay back down and closed my eyes though knowing I wouldn't go back to sleep. I just listened to everything going on around me. It was around twenty minutes when I spoke again or moved at all really.

" What time is it?"

" Merlin Harry I thought you were asleep." George said.

" Sorry I couldn't sleep any more."

" All right."

" So what time is it?"

" Three."

" Already?"

" Yeah you slept quite a while." Hermione commented.

" Hows your face?" George asked.

" Painful I was resting it against your knee." I whispered so Luna wouldn't here and feel more guilty.

He kissed that side of my face tenderly and it didn't hurt at all which I was glad of. He smiled and began stroking my hair. It relaxed me immensely.

" You all got something from the trolley right?"

" Yeah." Fred told me.

" Good."

" We saved you a chocolate frog and a pack of Bertie Botts." Luna told me.

" I'm not hungry you lot can have them."

" Put them in his trunk he will eat them later." George told them.

" All right."

I heard Fred stand up and I knew he had put them in my trunk. I would slip them into his trunk later on tonight or tomorrow or something. I didn't want them. I would have given them to George but he hates Every Flavour Beans. Ever since he had the bogey bean.

When the train pulled up at Hogsmeade station we all climbed off and people stared at my face. Malfoy burst out laughing at the sight of the bruises.

" Who did that to you Potter I want to send them flowers." He laughed.

" Aww is it that sad that you have to send flowers to random people because no one else will accept them from you." I said.

" Think you're all tough Potter."

" Shove off."

" Was it your boyfriend? Did he get bored of you finally and when you refused to leave him alone he decked you?" He asked grinning.

" Fuck you Malfoy." George growled pulling my hand into his.

" Aww maybe it was the twin then. Did he get bored with George hanging out with you aswell as him and hit you."

" If you don't shut the hell up I'll deck you." Fred growled.

" No one wants you around them Potter."

" Don't you need to go and tell your bodyguards what to do?" I asked.

" Your one to talk about bodyguards."

" Get stuffed."

We climbed into a carriage and they followed us into it.

" What are you now Malfoy a stalker?"

" I am not a stalker! My father will hear about this!"

" Go and tell Daddy then." George shot back.

" At least I have a Dad to tell." He said looking at me.

" YOU FUCKING BASTARD!" Fred growled.

I didn't say anything.

" Hit a nerve? At least I have a mother as well."

" Say one more word I dare you." George shouted.

The carriage pulled up at Hogwarts.

" What's going on here?" McGonagall asked.

" He was following us and said he was going to tell his father when we told him to leave us alone." Hermione said.

" Then we said tell him then." Ginny said.

" Then he said to Harry at least he has a father to tell." Fred told her.

" MR MALFOY A MONTHS DETENTION WITH FILCH!"

" My father will hear about this!"

He hurried off to the Slytherin table.

" Are you okay Mr Potter?"

" Yes Professor I'm fine." I said automatically.

" I think I have some things you might like if you come and see me after dinner tomorrow Mr Potter."

" Okay Professor."

" Now get into the great hall before we sort the first years."

" Okay Professor."

We all took our seats at the Gryffindor table and for once Dumbledore stood up for a speech before the sorting.

" This year we also have a new exchange student from Australia. She will be a fourth year. Thank you."

Professor McGonagall came in and you could easily spot the fourth year as she towered over the first years. She went first.

" Cooper, Laura."

She walked up and placed the hat on her head and it immediately declared her a Gryffindor. She came over and looked down the table before turning to talk to Lavender and I could hear all of her conversation.

" You know the black haired boy with glasses?" She asked.

" Harry Potter."

" That's Harry Potter? And yeah him."

" Yeah its Harry and what about him?"

" If I asked him out do you think I'd have any chance?"

" You're blunt aren't you."

" Yes now what do you think?"

" No chance."

" Hey!"

" No its not that. Harry is 100% gay and in a soul bond with George Weasley."

" Who's George Weasley?"

" One of the red headed twins."

" Oh. Awkward. What about the boy with dreadlocks two seats along from him?"

" Lee?"

" Yeah."

" He's in a soul bond with Katie Bell."

" Merlin is everyone in soul bonds here?"

" No they are the only two pairs in the school."

" Oh."

" Yeah."

" What about the one with red hair and freckles?"

" Which one this house is full of Weasley's and they all have red hair and freckles?"

" Well not the girl obviously the one without the twin?"

" Ron?"

" Yeah."

" Your free to him. He's a right bastard."

" Why?"

" He bullied Harry in first year until everyone found out that Harry cut and he got amnesia from being whacked around the head by a troll with its club."

" Merlin."

" That's not half of it."

I tuned out the conversation and smiled as Natalie McDonald was sorted into my house. I leant over and shook her hand.

" Welcome to Gryffindor."

" Thanks."

" I'm Harry if you need any help with homework or anything I'm free to any first years to tutor or help around the school until they find their way around."

" Thanks Harry."

" You're welcome."

I turned back to listen to the sorting and I could still hear Laura Cooper talking to Lavender Brown.

" Wait so Ron hates Harry?"

" Yeah its because Harry's famous and because of the soul bond he was in the hospital wing with George for four days and they thought because he was famous he was allowed to skip classes."

" Merlin."

" Let the feast begin." Dumbledore said.

I began eating in silence.

" So who's our dorm mates?"

" Well there's Parvati who's my best friend."

" Hey Parvati."

" Hey."

Parvati joined in their conversation.

" So who else?"

" Hermione Granger."

" She's the girl with bushy hair talking to the only Weasley girl."

" Why isn't she over here?"

" She's a bookworm. Also she's Harry's best friend. She has lots of friends but most of them are in Hufflepuff or Ravenclaw."

" Who's she got in this house?"

" Ginny, Harry, Katie, Fred and George. Though she does talk to Alicia Spinnett, Angelina Johnson and Lee Jordan."

" Oh."

" Yeah by the way boys can't get into our dorms."

" None?"

" Actually I think Harry and George can come in."

" Because their gay."

" Harry!"

" Yes Lavender?"

" This is Laura Cooper."

" Hello Laura."

" Is it true that you're the boy who lived?"

" I guess."

" Harry hates his fame." Lavender told her.

" Why?"

" He's shy."

" Is it true you use to cut?" Laura asked.

" I don't think that's any of your business." George said pulling me towards him.

" Sorry." She said.

" By the way Lavender I heard everything you said about Harry." George told her.

" Oh."

" I don't think she needs to know Harry's history."

" But he's the boy who lived!" Laura cried.

I turned away. George sent her a glare and kissed me on the forehead.

" Its fine Harry."

" I know."

When the feast was over Dumbledore came to the front. He waited for silence to fall but was cut off as someone entered the room. He had a blue electric eye and a massive chunk of his nose missing. His right leg was wooden and his face was scarred. He turned to Dumbledore.

" Ah Albus!"

" Alastor glad you could make it."

" It was close."

" That it was."

" Ay."

" Everyone this is Professor Moody he will be the defense against the dark arts teacher."

People clapped for him.

" That's Mad-Eye Moody. He's an ex Auror." George whispered into my ear.

" A dark wizard catcher?"

" That's right."

" Woah."

" Half the cells in Azkaban are full because of him." Fred whispered in awe.

" Right now." Dumbledore said as Moody sat down.

" Right this year the castle will not only play host to us but to some select students from Beauxbatons and Durmstrang as well. This year Hogwarts will host the tri-wizard tournement. On Halloween the night the person for all of the schools will be chosen from the goblet of fire."

" WICKED!" The twins yelled.

" But because of the death toll last time there is an age limit no one under the age of seventeen can compete."

" THAT'S RUBBISH!" The twins yelled louder than before.

I rubbed my ear as I was so close to George that it had killed my ear when he had shouted. Hermione shot me a sympathetic look. She seemed to understand as well. She was sat opposite Fred and had her arm on the table and her head resting in it and he had screamed leaning forward to see Dumbledore. It had affected her too.

" That's the rules. Good night."

We all traipsed back to the common room and told the Fat Lady the password. We entered the room and I sighed feeling at home as this would always be my first home as this school had saved me from the cupboard. Saved me from the abuse. Found me my future husband. Gave me friends and family.

" Harry you coming?"

" Yeah coming now."

Lavenders Pov

" So that's his soul mate?" She said when we got in the dorms.

" Yeah."

" He's protective of him. Its really sweet."

" Oh they're really good together and George has every right to be protective."

" Why?"

" So much happens to Harry every year." Parvati said.

" Like what?"

" Last year for example he was kidnapped by Sirius Black!"

" Really?"

" Yeah."

" Second year he was petrified." I told her.

" And to save Ginny Weasley the girl he went into the chamber of secrets and killed a basilisk."

" Also there were rumours he was nearly eaten by acromantula." I added.

" Oh and last year he had the dementors."

" Oh and that and he had the problem with the boggart." I said.

" What problem?" Laura asked.

" Well we were facing boggarts and everyone expected Harry's to be Voldemort as he has faced him three times but instead it was a fat man like a walrus and Georges dead body."

" Really?"

" Yeah."

" Who was the fat man?"

" I heard Hermione say it was his Uncle."

" His Uncle?"

" Yeah none of us know what happened with his Uncle however he no longer lives with them and has no contact with them even though they are his only family."

" I wonder why."

" Oh and first year do you remember Harry got amnesia from the troll." Parvati said.

" He was nearly killed by Voldemort possessing our teacher Quirrell."

" Then there was when he nearly got killed by the rogue bludger."

" Then when someone cursed his broom I heard that from Flitwick."

" Then there was when he rode Buckbeak."

" Yeah and his tea leaves last year."

" Hectic life then."

" You have no idea."

Just then Hermione marched over.

" Hello I'm Hermione Granger."

" Laura Cooper."

" Pleasure. Now Parvati, Lavender a few things."

" What?" We asked sighing.

" Harry's life does not involve you."

" But its so mysterious."

" Its not your mystery to solve!"

" All right."

" Two I'm Harry's family and Luna and Mr Lovegood and Katie and Alicia and Angelina and Lee and Oliver and all the Weasley's except George."

" But they aren't related."

" Officially. But its not always in the blood."

" I don't understand."

" All right say your Uncle became a death eater would you still consider him family?"

" No!"

" Exactly."

" Were Harry's Aunt and Uncle death eaters?"

" They are muggles!"

" Oh. I thought Harry was pureblood."

" No his Mum was a muggle born!"

" Oh."

" Also say five years Harry will be related to the Weasleys."

" How?" Parvati asked.

" Through marriage!"

" Oh."

" Can you leave him alone now?"

" A few more questions?"

" Will you tell anyone or pester me or Harry any more?"

" No."

" Fine then."

" Why did Harry cut?" Laura asked.

" He...was stressed...and depressed."

" Last one why is Harry's boggart George being killed and his Uncle?"

" He loves George everyone knows that. And I'm not saying the other one. Goodnight."

" Wow she's slightly uptight."

" Na she's protective of her friends."

" Oh."
