Thanks to all reviewers! Purple backed gorillas to Shiva the sarcastic, sweeteen19, mom2dl, Lady Jarine, lil' munkies, epobbp, Lunagurl101, and nonasuki-chan!

Also, I love the idea of a gorilla in the Fenton Crammer, so mini-gorillas it is!

And just in case this causes some confusion, the end of the last chapter (The part with Harry) takes place around the same time as Harry's attacked by dementors in the real book, and this chapter starts off that same night with Harry, and then continues into the next day. If you're still confused, tell me in a review.

Ok, now the moment you've all been waiting for… who found out that Harry's a wizard?

"You're a wizard?"

Harry whirled around, his heart thumping in his chest. This couldn't be happening, this couldn't be happening, this couldn't be happening…

It was…

He turned around to see ten-year-old Mark Evans, resident geek of the neighborhood, come running over to him. "This is so cool! I'vealwayswantedtomeetarealwizardandyouareoneandthisissocool!" Harry blinked in confusion. Mark had an annoying habit of talking incredibly fast when he got exited or nervous, and at those times it was almost impossible to interpret what he was saying.

"ThisissoincredibleI'mgoingtotellmymomandmysisterandmybestfreindNedand"-

"Wait," Harry interrupted, "You can't tell anyone!"

Mark stopped, which was a miracle unto itself, and asked, confused, "Why? This is the coolest thing I've ever seen!"

Harry paused, contemplating how best to explain why he couldn't tell anyone to a ten year old boy, "Because"- he started, but never got a chance to finish.

"Obliviate!" yelled a voice, and Harry looked up, surprised to see Arthur Weasly on the other side of the street.

"Ron, stop it! Ronald, stop, no!" Danny walked into the bedroom where the five of them (Him, Ron, Hermione, Tucker, and Sam) were supposed to be cleaning (Fred and George having been temporarily confined to their room on account of Mrs. Weasly finding their extendable ears and guessing what the twins had been doing with them over the summer, along with Ginny, mainly because nobody thought it was a good idea to leave Fred and George alone), so it was just the five of them and Mrs. Weasly cleaning that day.

Although, in actual reality, Tucker was attempting to rescue his PDA from Sam, who was threatening to crush it if he didn't turn the volume down (Not an idle threat either, considering she'd done it twice in the past six months), and Ron and Hermione were having a fight with a wet sponge they were supposed to be cleaning the window with while Mrs. Weasly was downstairs doing something.

The doorbell rang, and all five teens glanced at each other and hurried to the top of the stairs where they could see who was coming in, and hopefully eavesdrop a little.

The painting of the woman Danny now knew was Sirius' mom started howling and screaming, and Sirius hurried to push them shut while Mrs. Weasly opened the door to let a worried Remus Lupin in.

They whispered for a few moments, and then Mrs. Weasly said loudly, "He DIDN'T!"

Lupin nodded, and the five teens looked at each other in confusion.

"And now the ministry wants him to come to a hearing? For defending himself?" Mrs. Weasly asked, shock in her voice.

"Who's she talking about, do you reckon?" Ron muttered, but no one had an answer.

Later that afternoon, when the bedroom was clean, they five gathered in the bedroom Ron, Danny, and Tucker were sharing. About a week after Danny, Sam, and Tucker had arrived at the headquarters of the order of the phoenix, Mrs. Weasly had taken them down to Diagon Alley, where they'd traded in some muggle money (provided by their parents) for the heavy coins used as currency by wizards, then gotten wands and robes and the other things they'd need for the school year.

Besides this, Sam had gotten a barn owl she named Apollo, after the Greek god of prophecy, insisting that the cage they were keeping him in was animal cruelty. It was Apollo who, a week after that brought a package from Danny's parents containing some invention that was apparently supposed to make a portal in and out of the ghost zone at will, and some fudge. Danny had shared the fudge with the others, but had kept the porta-portal hidden, just in case.

Since they'd gotten their school things Hermione had insisted on starting to tutor Danny, Sam, and Tucker in what they'd missed by not going to Hogwarts for four years. None of them were as good at any subject as Hermione, but with her help they were slowly managing to get themselves up to date.

But on this particular afternoon, no sooner had the four of them taken out their wands, than Mrs. Weasly had knocked on the door. "I just wanted to let you know that Harry's coming to stay for the rest of the summer sometime tonight."

"Wait, what?" Ron jumped off his bed and said, "I thought you weren't going to pick him up until next week!" Mrs. Weasly sighed. "There have been a few complications… I'm sure Harry will tell you all about them when he gets here."

"How is he getting here?" Hermione asked, slightly more calmly than Ron.

"Some of the order is taking broomsticks out there. I have to go down and start making dinner now, if you don't mind."

She closed the door, and Hermione, completely forgetting about the lesson, started talking anxiously to Ron.

Sam looked at Danny, and rolled her eyes at the look on his face. "Danny," she whispered so Ron and Hermione wouldn't hear them, "You can't be thinking about flying out there with them! They already hate you, thanks to Vlad, what do you think they'll do if they find you?"

Danny whispered back, "Why not? I go invisible and fly behind them. They'll never know."

Sam shook her head. "It just doesn't seem like a good idea. And what if they notice you're gone? I mean, it's not like there's that many places to hide in this place."

Danny sighed. "I guess not."

But he couldn't shake the feeling that he was missing something incredibly important.
