Order of the Phoenix
Chapter Three
The next day couldn't have gone by faster for Harry, he finished packing and got ready to leave, and taking everything he owned with him. He took care to make sure that everything was packed up. He managed to get his things into two garbage bags, his trunk, and an old shopping bag. He got everything ready and piled into the hallway.
"You'd better not have forgotten a thing boy, do you understand?" Uncle Vernon yelled at him from the door as he left, "And remember, you're not welcome back!" With that he left for work.
Dudley made sure to hit him with his smelting stick any time Harry walked by, and followed him around the house reminding him not to forget anything. Finally the clock chimed of 5pm. He heard the doorbell ring and ran to get the door, shoving his things in Fred, George and Charlie's hands, grabbing Hedwig's cage that had Errol inside, Harry turned, yelled down the hall "Goodbye Aunt Petunia and Dudley!"
The Weasley's all helped him pile his stuff in the car, there were hugs all around, and when he came to Ginny's their hug turned from a hello hug to the kind no one wants to let go of. Everyone else piled into the car, and waited for them to get in. George, Fred and Ron were all laughing in the back of the car. Ginny smiled and looked into Harry's eyes, Harry smiled back and said "We should get in the car, they're waiting for us".
Ginny blushed furiously from head to toe and said "Okay Harry" and turned to get into the car quickly. When they got in Dumbledore smiled and said "Hello Harry" Harry noticed a large black dog sitting next to Dumbledore. "Hello Professor, Hello Snuffles"
Dumbledore smiled "Snuffles is going to travel with me to Hogwarts, but he'll be awaiting you in your dormitory after the sorting ceremony, Harry. He'll be staying there with you for the school year. Oh yes, I think I'll tell you all now. Professor Lupin is going to teach Care of Magical Creatures this year, Hagrid won't be around much other than the first and last week of class. Arabella Figg has agreed to come and take over the Defense Against the Dark Arts class. We seem to be having problems finding a willing teacher these days for that course. And you'll have a new Potions professor, Professor Snape is unable to take his position this year, hopefully he'll be back by next year. My daughter will be taking over for him until he can return. We seem to be having problems finding a willing teacher for any course now that I think about it."
Everyone laughed at this, sat back and enjoyed the car ride. When they got to the Weasley's house, Dumbledore, Mr. & Mrs. Weasley and Snuffles went into the kitchen. A moment later the Mr. Weasley called for Harry to come in, Harry quickly said goodbye to Sirius, and with that Dumbledore and Sirius apparated back to Hogsmeade, where they would quickly have Sirius Transform and go to Hogwarts.
Dumbledore would be on the train with the students this year, Harry couldn't help but feel that all of this was a little out of the ordinary protection from him. After they'd left Harry ran upstairs with Ron to unpack, and tell him all about the things that had been going on. Ron tried not to laugh when Harry told him about Ginny, but he couldn't hold back for long. After all that was his little sister Harry was talking about.
"Well you should go find Ginny than Harry" Ron said with an odd smile on his face, much more of a smirk than a smile.
With that Harry turned and almost ran to Ginny's room, and quickly knocked on the door "Ginny are you in there?"
The door opened up, and Ginny pulled him inside closing the door behind him quickly. Harry smiled and said "so what did you want to tell me?"
Ginny flushed a more violent red than that of a red red rose. "I just wanted to tell you that" she stalled for a moment. "Iikeouarry" was all she could spit out.
"You like me?" Harry asked, blushing lightly.
Ginny blushed even more, "Yes I do"
Harry gave her a hug and pulled her close to gently whisper in her ear "I like you too Ginny, I wish I'd realized it sooner"
Ginny smiled and tried to hold back tears and gently kissed him on the cheek. Harry couldn't hold back any longer, he leaned in and kissed her passionately. He surprised her, but she quickly got over the surprise and kissed back wrapping her arms around his neck. Without warning Ron busted in the door, "Dinners.. Well I see you two are getting along fine", he tried to hold in his laughter, "Dinner's ready though"
Harry and Ginny smiled at each other. "Maybe we should head down too, don't you think so Ginny?"
"Not yet Harry", she smiled and kissed him again, pulling him closer.
Dinner went by quickly, Fred and George teased Ginny and Harry, the food disappeared quickly and soon the week did too. Ron and Mr. Weasley went to pick up Hermione. They insisted that Harry stay in the Burrow until it was time for them to go to Hogwarts. Mrs. Weasley bought all of his school supplies, and grabbed some extra money for Hogsmeade for him. Fred and George had gone along to buy Ron the new Dress Robes that they had promised Harry they would, Black ones with a small trim at the bottom. Ron thought he'd died and gone to Heaven, but quickly remembered to take his old ones out of his trunk and place his new ones nicely on top before they went to bed that night.
The next morning, the entire Weasley family, Sirius, Dumbledore, Hermione and Professor Lupin woke Harry by singing "Happy Birthday" to him. They all had breakfast together, Harry busily talking away with Sirius, Ginny sitting closely to Harry hanging on his every word. Hermione and Ron sat across from them laughing and joking about the way that Ginny was hanging on Harry. After Breakfast they de-gnomed the garden and played a game of Quidditch. At dinnertime, they all sat and ate quickly outside.
Than Mrs. Weasley and Ginny went to get the cake, which they brought out while everyone sang "Happy Birthday" to him again. After blowing out all but one candle, Fred and George teased Harry and Ginny saying "Harry's got a girlfriend, Harry's got a girlfriend"
Mrs. Weasley quickly silenced them with "Okay Harry, present time, Fred and George go get them from the kitchen for Harry."
Harry quickly opened up his presents from Hermione and the Weasley's. Hermione gave him a camera, with the right developing solution to make the pictures move and a book on how to develop them. Dumbledore, Lupin and Sirius had gone in together on Harry's present, a Quidditch set of his own, and new brooms for the entire Gryffindor team. Sirius mentioned quietly to Harry that his dad had wanted him to have a set when he was older.
With that everyone started to clean up. Ginny pulled Harry up to her room and gave him a present to open from her. Harry opened it up to find a photo album filled with pictures of Harry's parents, Harry as a child, pictures of Harry at Hogwarts, with his friends, and pictures of him at the Burrow, and at the end a few pictures of just him and Ginny. Harry didn't say anything, but pulled Ginny close and kissed her. "Thank you Ginny, you have no idea what this means to me."
Ginny smiled and kissed him wrapping her arms around him. Just then the door opened up, Fred, George, Ron and Hermione saw them and couldn't stop laughing. The all joked and laughed their way back down to say goodbye to their guests. Of course Fred and George couldn't resist, they quickly told everyone that Ginny and Harry had been kissing upstairs. Everyone laughed about it, but it was time for Sirius to leave, so he and Harry went outside to talk before he left. Harry noticed Sirius was starting to look like the man in his parents' wedding pictures.
They quickly sat down and Sirius wasted no time, "Harry I want you to be careful while you're going to Hogwarts tomorrow. Voldemort seems to becoming more powerful every day. Molly and Arthur have assured me you'll get to the station and they'll see you directly into the care of either Hagrid or Dumbledore. Stay with Ron, Hermione and Ginny on the train. Don't leave your compartment, Dumbledore and Hagrid will be right outside of your compartment at all times in case you need them. Harry now I mean it, do not leave your compartment."
"Okay Sirius, you should get going though, you'll want to get to Hogwarts quickly. I'll see you tomorrow. We'll be up right after the feast, I'll bring you some leftovers."
With that said, Sirius nodded, walked inside to get Dumbledore and leave. Ginny came out and sat in Harry's lap. Ron and Hermione, who were flirting away as they sat next to Ginny and Harry. They talked about everything Sirius had said, and decided to make sure they had enough to do while they were on the train the next day. Mrs. Weasley came out and summoned them all to bed, as they'd be getting up early the next day.
The day went by slowly, but Harry couldn't help but think that for the first time ever, on his birthday, he was spending it with his family.
