AN: I co wrote this chapter idea wise with my friend Heather and hope you like it. This is meant to just be a filler chapter since I wanted to publish quickly but not have to rush an action packed chapter. So please read and review. Please tell me how I can improve should you decide to flame the story.
Chapter 7
The summer came and went too quickly for my liking. Before I knew I was helping get my now one year old sister Aly ready for our trip to Diagon Alley for school supplies. This year was way different than last years since neither of my grandparents joined us this time. We met up with everyone else including Ron and his whole family, outside of the store where we were to buy our potions ingredients.
We walked in and started measuring the ingredients once a scale became free. When it was my turn to weigh everything there was a loud pop heard causing both Harry and I to drop everything we had in our hands to the ground. "Mom there is some weird creature sitting on our scale and its eyes are huge. It is beginning to severely creeping me out." I said quickly trying desperately to get help.
"Dobby did not mean to scare Master Potter or Mistress. Please excuse me, but Dobby has a message. Master Potter and Mistress must not return to Hogwarts this year, it is too dangerous." said the creepy looking creature.
"Who are you? What do you want? What do you mean? And finally must you be on the scale right now? We need to use it." Harry said causing the creature to jump off of the scale.
"Dobby is sorry Master Potter, I have forgotten to introduce myself properly. I am Dobby the house elf, I only wished to warn Master Potter and mistress of the danger about to ensue at Hogwarts." Dobby answered.
"What exactly is the danger that the entire McGonagall/Dumbledore/Solomon/Evans family can not protect these two against? Dobby please tell me so I can get my father and he can add the extra safety precautions to the school. Tell us and we can protect you from harm." my dad said causing Dobby to run over to the wall and start smashing his head multiple times against it.
"Please stop Dobby. You did nothing wrong now we know to keep Harry and Splendora close to us as possible so they can be safe. So thank you for that." my mom said in a comforting voice as she grabbed the final ingredients off the scale walking to pay for everything.

Almost everything went the way you know it to go from the books and movies for the most part from here. However what was never told about the start of that year was that Seamus decided to basically stalk me until I asked him what he was doing. Apparently he was 'telling me in his way that he likes me', which I personally find it creepy.

Two weeks later right before Halloween Zach, Eva, Harry, and I got asked at the end of our Transfiguration lesson to stay behind and go to the Headmasters' office to discuss something important with the rest of the family. When we arrived we were told about a mission all of the adults were about to go on and we (mainly me) would have to help out in the classes. Filling in would be: Mrs. Molly Weasley for my mom; the former Charms professor, Professor Flitwick, for my dad; the head of the Auror Department, Alastor Moody, was in for my Uncle Joe; Mr. Arthur Weasley was in for Aunt Abby; and finally the professor my grandmother took her place when she had decided to leave to care for her daughter, Andromeda Tonks, returned the favor by over my grandmother's duties while she was away. I was told that I had to take Aly with me to each class and take care of her for the entire time they are all away.
After five days of everyone being gone I felt like I was a zombie. (Aly ended up getting sick the first night causing both of us to get little sleep.) During the Charms lesson on that day I had decided to ask Professor Flitwick if we could go pull a prank on Professor Moody since he scared the crap out of me the day before. The plan was to have everyone come with me and wait outside, I then would turn on what other people call my chameleon mode, while I did something to try to scare the most paranoid wizard of all time.
