I do not own Harry potter!
Arthur Weasley had never been so happy in his life. Finally after two months his family was back together. The twins were becak to pranking, the three eldest boys were back to being happy, Molly had stopped screaming and crying and all was well. The only Weasley who had not gone back to normal was their youngest boy. He refused to go almost anywhere with out Hermione. He would wait outside the door of the bathroom, sit quietly while she read with out complaint, and every night he refused to sleep with wout Hermione after he fell asleep Arthur would put Hermione in her own bed.
The family liked their new home well enough. It was large, giving the children lots of room to run aaround and have their own personal space. The greatness in size was a blessing, yet it was also a curse. Molly Weasley liked the coziness of their own home where anyone could find someone at any time, this house was large and cinfusing. She felt that because the rooms were so far apart maybe the family would start driffting apart. The other problem was that though the children could play inside the house for most of their short lives they had been pushed, ordered, or willingly spending large amounts of time outside. Due to the threat of Voldemort comig at any time, even if they thought he did not know where she was, the children were not allowed outside. Everyone except for the adults, Charlie and Bill were allowed outside. One could not play Quidditch, skip stones, nor do any number of things in a house.
To Ronald Weasley this was okay. Yes, he loved to ride his broom and skip stones, but inside was safe. Inside Hermione could not be taken again. Of course, just like with the adults, the confinment had a few problems. For example though he and Harry were becoming good friends ever since the boy moved into the new Weasley house he had become a little annoying. He and ron butted heads quite offten and both boys had a temper, Hermione also very muched enjoyed Harry's company much to Ron's annoyance, and even his own mum seemed to love Harry more than she loved Ron. He could understand her gushing over Hermione and making her top priority next to ginny after what had happend, but Ron should have, or at least thought he should have, come after Hermione. Harry Potter was not family. True his sister was adopted, but she had earned her place in this family. Harry was new, he was a friend not family.
Harry Potter was not happy with the youngest Weasley boy either. Ron tended to be, in Harry's eyes, selfish in the way he did not like to share almost anything unless he was sharing with Hermione, he was asore loser espeacially when it came to chess, he snored, he was always eating which reminded him if Dudly, and seemed to get mad when ever Mrs. Weasley or Hermione would give him attention. Harry had thought they were going to be great friends, but when they had started to become friends they were in the hineymmom stage. They only saw the good and not the bad plus no buddy had met the other's parent and/or legal guardians. When the confinement started they were sent back into the real world, but once you cannot get time to yourself and always around a person tempers flare. People need a break from each other and though the house was big every night Harry and Ron would share a roomand they would start annoying the other again.
Today was another rainy day making the outside and inside look bleak. Harry, Ron, and Hermione sat in the parlor looking miserable. Ron had not slept thus he was grumpy, Harry was annoyed because in his grumpy mood Ron had snapped at him several time, and Hermione was just bord having been told to play with the others instead of read a book. The house was large and full of things, but the three of them could not think of any. Ron had just beatten Harry in yet another just-to-do-something-but-it-isn't-very-fun game of chess when Hermione gat an idea.
"We could go exploring. I have never been in the west wing." Hermione said, excited by the ideas of an adventure.
"It could be fun. I haven't been up there either." Harry said as he started to imagen what they could find in the western wing of the house. They could find treasure, pictures, maps, money, and so many more things.
"I guess..." ron said relucantly. He really did not want to go on an adventure or in to a place where spiders could be lurking, but if Hermione was going then so was he.
The three of them walked through the large dusty house until they came to the staircase leading the the weastern wing. The stairs, like the others, were stone with a red strpping carpet over them, so that when they person stepped onto the steps bare foot instead of feeling could stone they would feel soft room-tempature carpet. There were more steps in this staircase than the the other stair cases in the house. One they walls they passed were heavy tapastries of Mideval scenes and scenes from Greek mythology. Ronald was rather creepied out by the tapistry hold the picture of Medusa turning a man into stone.
The hallway held many doors, each made of a diffrent wood with a diffrent door knob. "Ronald, you pick the first room." Hermione said looking at her brother.
Ronald walked further down the hall, studying each of the doors. Finally he came to a door made of a wood with a pinkinsh tint, the door hanle was in the shape of a hand. Taking the handle he slowly opened the door revealing a gorgeous room. The floorse were wood, but the wood had a golden color to it, the walss were windows except the room had been between to other room yet they could see the outside above and bside them. There was golden couch in the corner and a chest on the other side of the room.
Harry slowly walked over to the box, taking in the room around him. He ,like Hermione, had his wand held tightly in his handout of anxeity. He was nervous they would find something horrible in the box. He ran his hand over the lid feeling how smooth it was before opening the chest to find tons of jwelery. He was just about to tell the others to come over when he heard a scream. He wipped around to find Hermione trying to get Ron back into the room. Apparently the windows were not windows and Ron hap fallen off whatever they were on. Harry rushed over to help.
"Come on guys, pulle me up!" ron screamed while Harry and Hermione tried to pull him up.
"On three we will pull as hard as we can, okay?" Hermione said, her mind forming a plan quickly. On three the two of them pulled, finally getting Ron back on to the floor.
"Okay, I have had enough adventure for one day, thank you!" ron said starting towards the door.
"We should do this again tommarow...but leave out the near death experince." Hermione said to harry, who nodded.
"come on look in the box, Ron. " Harry said waving his friend over.
"Can we take something?" ron asked looking at the all the jewls in front of him. Oh, how he would love the golden chain with a lion pendant on it.
"I don't see why not, we just can't let your parents or anyone else see. Just incase we would get in trouble for it." Harry said picking up a golden chain with what looked like a small Snitch on it. He clasped the clain and his it under his shirt. Hermione, also chose a golden necklace, except hers had a golden diamond ring on it.
"Hey, we all chose golen things!" Ron said in astonishment as if this was some big thing and not a random act of chance. "When we go on adventures we'll call our selves the Golden Trio...explorers extrodinare!" ron exclaimed happily. The other two agreed with vigore. Little did the three expect was that their little team of explorers would become a key part in the war that had started.
