AN: How do you like it so far? Please give me your comments under reviews! I'd really appreciate it.

Cariel: Thank you so much for your comments! You're my first reviewer! Um, I'm really not sure how to "let you know when I update". Was that a figure of speech? My mum made me a Gryffindor scarf too! (although you made your own) Smashing.

Also, I'd like to thank my good friend Kit-Kat for her encouragement! Truly a ray of sunshine in all of this!

Well, on with the story.

Chapter 2

guess who just got back today

those wild eyed boys who'd been away

haven't changed, hadn't much to say

but man i still think those cats are crazy

they were asking if you were around

how you was, where you could be found

i told them you were living downtown

driving all the old men crazy

the boys are back in town

you know that chick who used to dance a lot?

every night she'd be on the floor

shaking what she'd got

man when i tell you she was cool

she was red hot

i mean she was steaming

that time over at johnny's place

well this chick got up and she slapped johnny's face

man we just fell about the place

if that chick don't wanna know forget her

the boys are back in town, spread the word around

friday night they'll be dressed to kill

down at dino's bar and grill

drink will flow and blood will spill

if the boys wanna fight

you better let 'em

that jukebox in the corner blasting out my favorite song

the nights are getting warmer, it won't be long

it won't be long 'till summer comes

now that the boys are here again

Everclear "The Boys Are Back in Town" (AN: Thin Lizzy sings the same song, Everclear did a remake. I know there's no fight or dancing, but, I think that the "the boys are back in town." part was apprpriate.)

Landing unceremoniously, and with a loud thump, Harry was a t the Weasley's. He stood up, dusted himself off, and looked around to get his bearings.

Upon further inspection (Harry's glasses had been skewed), Harry realized that he was in the front of the Weasley house, on the front lawn, just outside the door. He picked his things up, prepared to walk up to the door and knock.

Suddenly, Harry heard numerous shouts, the slam of a door, and was bombarded with the sight of blinding red hair in the morning sun. He dropped his trunk and baggage, and squinted.

Mrs. Weasley was the first to get to him, and pushed her way forward to envelop (AN: Lol, Kit-Kat, vocabulary word this week) Harry in a warm, tight hug. Harry hugged back, and then let go as Mrs. Weasley did. She stepped back, and inspected him.

Clucking her tongue, she exclaimed, "My, you've grown! You're nearly as tall as Ron now!"

The Weasley's (plus Hermione, who giggled) as a whole chuckled, then also lined up to greet Harry. Ginny got there first, and threw her arms around Harry, squeezing tightly. Harry hugged her back too, and she said, "It's so good to see you again!"

Next was Hermione, who also flung herself at Harry, and exclaimed, "Oh, we missed you! I'm so glad you're here!"

Ron, and the twins came over and clapped him on the shoulder, Ron commenting on his newly-acquired height.

The twins clasped their hands under their chins and proclaimed, pretending to sniffle, "They grow up so fast!"

Percy came over to Harry and briskly shook his hand. Harry chuckled to himself, he had grown used to Percy's formal greetings.

Mrs. Weasley bustled everyone back into the house, apologizing that Mr. Weasley had to work that morning, and saying that Percy had to leave soon, as well.

Ron helped Harry hoist his trunk inside, while Ginny picked up Hedwig's cage,following Harry and Ron, Hermione bringing up the rear, chattering away in excitement. After depositing Harry's luggage upstairs in Ron's room, they all filed downstairs to have breakfast, Harry enjoying his second breakfast (AN: Lord of the Rings moment!!) much more than the first.

Everyone chatted away contentedly, talking about nothing in particular. Every once in a while, Mrs. Weasley would pile more food onto Harry's plate and watch critically to make sure he ate it more. She was never convinced that the Dursley's fed him enough.

Harry took this motherly watchfulness well, and ate until everyone else was finished, and until Mrs. Weasley finally stopped giving him more food. Fred and George were telling Harry about their new shop-in-the-making, to be named Weasley's Wizard Wheezes.

Harry laughed heartily when they told of how they had played a prank on Ron that made him tell the truth about everything that was on his mind for at least forty-five minutes, until Mrs. Weasley mercifully cast a silencing spell on him. The spell was supposed to have lasted for around two hours, but

Ron had started talking about Hermione while under the spell, and had been unable to stop the flow of words. This gave everyone in the family a good laugh. Hermione and Ron sat blushing, they were both victims of the prank.

After breakfast, Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Ginny all trooped up to Ron's room to talk (the twins were still in the kitchen with dish duty, not that they would have come with them anyways).

After about a minute, they all realized it was too crowded in the room for the four teens to sit in comfortably, as Harry and Ron kept cracking their heads on the ceiling from their spots by the window, leaving the beds as seats for the girls (Harry's luggage was on the floor still).

A few minutes later, their situation had not improved, so they decided to move down to Ginny's room. As they were leaving Ron's room, Ginny suddenly squealed, muttered something to Hermione, a quick "hold on" to the boys, grabbed Hermione's hand, and pushed her way ahead to her room.

Ron and Harry looked at eachother, shrugged, and kept walking down the stairs to Ginny's room. When they reached the landing with Ginny's room on it, the door to her room was closed. Ron pushed the door open (AN: he never learns, when does he ever knock?), and Hermione promptly stuffed some things under Ginny's bed, and Ginny shoved a cloth wad into her wardrobe, closing the drawer quickly.

Ginny colored, and said quickly, "Sorry, some of my, erm, clothes were on the floor."

Ron looked puzzled, not understanding why anyone would care that their shirt or something on the floor was a reason to go berserk over. Harry had a look of understanding pass over his face, understanding the hidden meaning. (AN: for those of you who hadn't figured it out, her *snorts indelicately* underwear had been on the floor, mixed with nightclothes. I know, Hermione's a neatfreak, but maybe Ginny isn't as obsessed with neatness as Hermione is.)

Now that that ordeal was over with, everyone sat down, and Harry looked around at his settings. He had only seen Ginny's room once, as she had stopped in there last summer with him to grab a quill for summer homework.

He remembered the room, it was so. Ginny-ish. It had pale blue sponge- painted walls, and neat white carpeting. The bed was white cast-iron, with a blue duvet on it and a fluffy white pillow. Next to her bed was a temporary cot for Hermione. On the floor was a light yellow, round rug. There was a white dresser on the opposite wall, and a desk/vanity on the wall with the window. The window was square, and had light yellow curtains that matched the rug.

When Harry was done surveying the room, he looked for a place to sit. He settled on the bed, sitting with his back against the wall, next to Ginny. Ron and Hermione sat on Hermione's cot, across from Harry and Ginny.

Ron's eyes narrowed slightly at Harry's close proximity to Ginny, but Hermione noticed this and put a hand on his arm. He put on a brief pout for her, but then his face went back to its normal expression.

Harry filled the group in on Sirius' situation, explaining that Sirius was looking for Peter Pettigrew now, but was still in hiding. Ginny knew all about Sirius already. Harry had told her last year, when they had become good friends.

The whole group then talked about other things: school, the twins' latest pranks ("Whatever you do, DON'T leave your food unattended" Ron had added), their new joke shop, and finally, the serious things, the attacks that summer.

"Fortunately, it hasn't been that bad this summer. The only thing we've had is restless Death Eaters scaring muggles. No one's been killed. We think that Voldemort is still recovering from last year." Ron put in solemnly.

Harry was relieved and upset at the same time. He still had nightmares, but he was thankful no one had been killed, although they had been through a few ordeals in the muggle world.

A few hours later, Ron suggested that he and Harry go to the paddock for a little Quidditch. Overall, they just decided to toss the quaffle around while flying quickly, as no on had time for a game for now.

That night, Harry went to bed happily, and with a full stomach. He was content here, but exhausted from the day. Harry welcomed the comforting darkness as his eyes drifted shut.

AN: Well, that wasn't too eventful, except that Harry is now at the Weasleys. I hope it isn't too boring. It'll get more exciting, please keep reading!

By the way, if you are interested in movies, Two Weeks Notice was pretty good. Very cute, a romantic comedy. I saw it with Kit-Kat and my sister. Lots of fun!

Au Revoir!
