On to Chapter 6.....
The summer before Hogwarts University was rather interesting for 11-year-old Harry. He was invited by Ron Weasley, the red-haired Gryffindor, and his brothers, to stay at their house for part of the summer, which he agreed. After begging his grandfather, who couldn't say no to Harry's pout, he gave in. So, Harry found himself, with his trunk by his feet, at the Weasley's, as Fred and George greeted him.
"Harry, what's up?" Harry gave both guys hugs, and gave Ron a smile. Then, a rather plump lady with a lovely smile appeared, and greeted him.
"Hello there, Harry. I'm Molly Weasley, you can call me Mrs. Weasley, or Molly, if you would like to."
"Hello, Mrs. Weasley. Thank you for allowing me to stay in your beautiful house." Harry said calmly, manners kicking in. "It's a pleasure to meet such a lovely lady." Harry flashed a smile at her, causing her to blush. "Why, thank you, Harry."Molly replied, bashfully, as another red headed girl appeared, and blushed when she saw him.
"Harry, this is our little sister, Ginny. Gin, this is Harry." Harry bowed at her, and flashed her the same smile that he had done to Mrs. Weasley. Ginny turned as red as her hair, and quickly dashed up the stairs. Harry grinned, and continued to chat with Fred and George.
"How did you do that?" Fred asked excitedly. Harry smiled. "It's the Potter charm." Both twins laughed, and the three walked outside, chatting about Quidditch. They smiled at each other when Mrs. Weasley called them to dinner. Together, they walked to the table, a bond formed. Ron eyed Harry carefully, and although you couldn't really tell, Ron was jealous. He just kept it hidden. Harry caught him glaring, and smiled innocently at him. This was war.
The next day, Harry awoke in the twins room, and looked around questionably. Noticing the room was the same, Harry smiled, and after putting on his pajama top, walked downstairs and greeted the Weasley's, minus Charlie and Bill. "Morning Mrs. Weasley. Morning Ginny, Ron. Morning Gred, Forge. Charlie, Bill!" The two hugged him, as they chatted excitedly. Mrs. Weasley watched the three chat, with a smile on her face.
"So, you ready for university?" Fred asked, smirking. "Wait a second" a new voice came in, "your going to University?" Harry spun around, spotting a red haired man, who could only be their father, entering the room, dressed up in a ragged old suit. "Yea, I start next fall. Harry Potter, you must be Mr. Weasley." They shook hands. "So, Harry, how did you get into University?" Mr. Weasley wondered. So, Harry launched into the tail of his training, and finally, when he had finished, he looked over at Mr. Weasley, who was gaping at him. Mrs. Weasley and Ginny were as well, not hearing this before.
"Whoa, so you did all that since you were 6?" Ginny wondered. Harry just nodded, and went back to eating his breakfast that was set in front of him. Ginny frowned, but didn't say anything else as they ate in silence.
Once the breakfast table was cleared off, Harry waited for Mrs. Weasley to dismiss him, but soon he realized that she didn't know about dismissing people. Sighing, he stood, and walked over to help with the dishes. Mrs. Weasley smiled softly at him, as the two washed dishes in silence.
"Thank you, Harry." Mrs. Weasley told him, once they had finished. "Your welcome." Harry replied. "So, were going to Diagon Alley today, right?" Mrs. Weasley nodded at him, before returning to clean up the rest of the kitchen. Harry took the stairs, and ran to Fred and George's room, bursting through the door. The twins grinned when they saw him, and Harry quickly grabbed some plain black robes, and tossed them on lazily. Grabbing his letter from his grandfather with his supplies needed for University, Harry shoved it into his robes pocket. Doing the same with his wand, he smirked at Fred and George, who grinned.
"Lets go." Together, the three trotted down the stairs, dressed in black. The twins wore their Gryffindor badges, while Harry strutted in his plain black robe, as they headed to the fireplace, and waited patiently for the others. Slowly, they arrived, and Harry stepped in first, loudly announcing, "Diagon Alley", as he felt the familiar whirling sensation as he appeared at Diagon Alley.
"Welcome to Diagon Alley" a man announced, causing Harry to smile, as he waited for his friends. First, Mrs. Weasley came, followed by Fred, then George, then Ginny and finally Ron. Harry told Mrs. Weasley he was taking the twins to get new robes, and off they went, stopping by Gringotts on the way.
First, was his parents vault, 213. Once he gathered enough coins, he sat back, as the Goblin took him to the second vault. Harry gestured for Fred and George to enter, and they did timidly. This vault was 793, a vault that he had kept himself. Inside held many of his parents belongings, and some of his more precious ones. He motioned for the twins to come, and told the Goblin to come back in a half an hour to get them. The goblin glared at him, but finally agreed, after being handed a Galleon. The goblin rode off, leaving the three alone.
"I want to show you guys some things." Harry told them, first picking up a piece of parchment, hidden safely. "I solemnly swear I am up to no good." He muttered, as the map appeared. The twins looked at it carefully, in awe. "This, is the Marauder Map. Made by possibly the greatest troublemakers Hogwarts had ever seen." Harry showed it to them, as they read the names.
"Who are these people?" Fred wondered. Harry smiled softly, as he traced each name.
"Padfoot, was Sirius Black, my godfather. Prongs was James Potter, my father. Wormtail is Peter Pettigrew, my fathers best friend. And Moony, moony is Remus Lupin, Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher." The twins gaped, as Harry placed the map in their hands.
"When I was six, Moony placed this map in my care. Now, I am placing it in yours. Take care of it, for me." Harry smiled at them, as he gathered a few other things, placing them in a bag. Finally, he picked up a beautiful shimmery cloak, as the twins gaped at it.
"It's a...." "How.." Neither twin could finish, as they stared at the cloak. "An Invisibility Cloak." Harry finished for them, smiling. "As for how, it belonged to my father." Placing the cloak into their arms, he smiled innocently. Gathering his bag, he strung it over his shoulder, and entered the cart that the goblin had returned, and smiled. The twins entered the cart, as they rode back to the entrance to Gringotts, and left the building. "C'mon, guys, lets go." The twins followed, the walked to the robe store, Madam Malkins Robes for All Occasions.
Harry began chatting with Madame Malkins's, telling her what exactly he wanted for them. She smiled at him, and called for the twins, who obediently came to her, and she began to take their measurements. Harry waited patiently for her to get some robes, and followed the twins to the dressing room. Harry waited outside for them to dress, and smiling when he saw the robes.
Fred wore an amazing bluish-golden robe, while George wore a dark blue, that brought out his eyes. Harry smiled happily. "It's perfect." He assured Madame Malkins, as the twins dressed in the next robes, which were less dressier, but similar colored to their dress robes. Harry smiled once he saw these as well, and 11 robes later, finally they had finished getting the new robes. 7 school robes, 1 plain black robe and 3 dress robes each. Harry waited for Madame Malkins to tell him the total, of 112 galleons, 7 Sickels, and 2 Knuts. Harry paid gratefully, and after the twins had grabbed their bags, they left the store.
"I cant believe you did that for us." The twins were in shock. "You guys are like brothers to me, or course I need to treat you guys" He replied as they headed to the Apothecary. Harry bought what the twins needed, and then bought his own. Once he had finished, he took them to Flourish and Blotts, where they met up with the rest of the Weasley's, arms laden with bags. Harry shrunk all of the twins bags, and then shrunk his own, doing the same for Ginny, who looked like she needed it. Ginny thanked him, as she ran off to get her books. Fred smiled innocently, as he led his twin away, leaving Harry to get what books he needed. Looking at the list sent by his grandfather, he skimmed down to the books, where 5 were listed.
Advanced Defense, by Rumsfield
Differences in Muggle and Magic, by Merlin.
Searching for New, by Godric Gryffindor
Advanced Potions, by Severus Snape
Understanding Muggles, by Albus Dumbledore.
Harry quickly picked out each book with no trouble, and went to pay for them, running straight into Draco Malfoy.
"Oh, hey Harry." "Hey Draco, what's up?" They talked while Harry's things were rung up, and Harry payed the price, proceeding to shrink the books, before turning back to Draco.
"I'll see you later. Owl me sometime." Draco smiled at him, and they walked in their separate directions, with a stronger friendship. 'See you, Draco' Harry thought to himself, as he met up with his friends, and together they went home.
"Hey, Ginny, did you ever wonder if life could de different then the way it is?" Ginny looked at him in a confused way, causing him to chuckle. "Never mind, Gin." Ginny scampered up the stairs of her home, trying to think about that question. Harry sighed, and went in search of Mrs. Weasley, and asked her the same question.
:Why, of course, Harry. Doesn't everyone?" Seeing Harry's shocked look, she smiled understandingly at him. "See, a great man once said that there are two ways to go for each decision. Say, for example, you had to choose between Orange Juice, and Apple Juice for breakfast. If you choose Orange Juice, you go in one path, if you choose Apple Juice, you go on another path. It's simply the way of life." Harry nodded in understanding, thanked her, and went up stairs, laying on his cot, wondering. Could his life have been different, if his mother didn't get that disease? Would it have been a good life, or a bad? He thought this over for awhile, before he heard "Dinner", and Harry took the closest seat he could find.
"What do you want, Potter?" Ron sneered. Harry was reminded of Draco Malfoy, except the mean Draco, not the nice one. Harry frowned. "Look, Ron, I don't know what I did to you, which I know for a fact, that I've been friendly to you since I met you, but if you have a problem with me, tell me. Don't go around throwing glares at me."
"I do have a problem with you, Potter. You come in here, acting like your all that, and you try to take my family away! Their mine, you cant have them! So go back to your goody two shoes life, with all your money, and leave us alone!" Sadly, Mrs. Weasley was just walked in when Ron spoke, and gasped.
"Ronald Alexander Weasley! Go up to your room right now, your grounded!" Ron stormed up the stairs, angry. Mrs. Weasley frowned, and turned to Harry.
"Harry, im deeply sorry about that. Are you ok?" The small boy nodded, and Mrs. Weasley gave him a gentle hug, frowning at the kinds of things his son had done to a boy his own age. "I'm so sorry, Harry." Together, they hugged, Harry finally having the motherly figure for the first time in 5 years. "Thank you, Mrs. Weasley." Harry said softly, as she laid out the dinner for everyone, and they began to eat quietly. Once Harry had finished, and went back upstairs, and laid out on his cot, tears running down his face. He laid there for hours, wondering why Ron didn't like him, and finally, he fell asleep, with no more tears to cry.
