Summary: Mostly my idea of book 5 from the series, but keep in mind that it is written in January-March 2003, before OoP was published. Harry moves to the Weasley's, where he finds Ron and Hermione together. He goes to Hogwarts, where Voldemort raises his powers again. Harry has to find the 4 heirs of the houses, and he is one of them! Will Harry defeat Voldemort again?

Author's Pre-Note: This is my first fan fiction. I started working at it in December 2002 and I researched until January. Then I has the story written down, and I started working on the final version which turned out to be 50 pages long. Being my first attempt to write a Harry Potter fanfic, I think it ended up pretty well.

Harry was at the Dursley´s, he sat by the table and was thinking. What would happen now, as Voldemort had risen again. Would he be his first target? Harry didn't have a chance to think that trough, for Dudley was talking to him.

"Give me more bacon" Dudley said, rudely.

Harry got up and got the pan, while suddenly he thought:

Maybe I´d be able, to live with the Weasley´s, if the Dursley would refuse to take care of me. Dumbledore told me to stay with the Dursleys over the summer, but maybe I could make them so angry that they wouldn't have me and I could go away.

He passed Dudley some bacon and went to his room. He thought out a plan and it was simple:

"Make them angry!"

Harry went down and found Vernon in the living room:

"Ohh...it's you", as if Harry was something dirty.

Harry said: "I need to talk to you"

"Go on then, you stupid boy!" Vernon replied disgusted.

"I don't want you to treat me like a dog any more!"

"As long as you live under my roof, I'll treat you as I want!" said Vernon

"Well I'm put up with it, you old bastard!" Harry said.

Vernon´s head looked like a tomato, and he roared like a bear, in such fury he was!

"Well...what are you going to do, you dirty old muggle, I could turn you in to a flamingo, whenever I'd want to!" Harry said, as he tried to stay calm.

Vernon screamed "Out, out, you slimy thing!"

Harry went and got all his stuff in a hurry. Dudley had been watching petrified and ran up to his room. Harry put all his stuff out and sent a message to Ron, to ask him if he could come and stay.

He got in the Knight bus and it didn't take a long time to get to the Weasley's. Ron and Hermione ran out to great him.

" Hi, Harry! We were so glad you came! You're right on time for dinner."

They went in.

Ron was telling him that Hermione had just come a week earlier, when Harry interrupted:

"Don't you remember when Dumbledore said that I wasn't allowed to stay with you last month?"

Ron and Hermione nodded.

"Why did you come then? Won't somebody come and send you back?"

"I don't know, but then at least, I wouldn't be sent to the Dursley's"

Hermione said in amazement: "Why not? You haven't killed them have you?"

"Of course not! But they won't take me again; I made uncle Vernon so angry. At least I hope that I won't need to put a foot into their house again. But until then I can stay here."

So good days passed, but it didn't look like Dumbledore had found out that Harry was in the wizarding world.

One day, when Harry, Ron and Hermione were de-gnoming the garden for Mrs. Weasley, Ron said something Harry had been wondering for some time.

"What if something happened to Dumbledore?" Ron said thoughtfully.

"Than we are done for, because we would never follow the dark forces." Hermione replied.

There was a silent moment that seemed so long to Harry, as if a whole year passed

"Hermione, I thought that you were going to spend the summer with Krum!" Ron said to Hermione.

Harry and Ron grinned.

"Ohh...shut up." Hermione said in response and slapped Ron over the face

"But really Hermione, have you heard anything from him yet?"

"Well...He did ask me to come...but, I said I was going to visit a friend."

Ron replied: "Whom could you possibly visit instead of Krum?!"

"Eh...You?", Hermione said quite impatiently

"Ohh...yeah...right. He, he" ::cough::

"I really like you much more than Krum."

"He,he! Ohh...Hermione, I really like you too, you're one of my best friends." Ron replied truthfully"

"I think I sense some chemistry." Harry said ironical.

Hermione blushes, and Ron's ears get pink.

"What are you talking about?" said Ron as if it would be the most ridiculous thing in the whole world.

"Ohh, nothing", Harry grins, "I'm a bit tiered, think I'll take a nap, you two will finish to de-gnome the garden, ok?"

"Yeah...sure."

"There isn't anything between us, is there?" Hermione asked.

"Well...I've...always liked you, but I didn't think of it that way." Ron turned in response.

"The same thing here, but... lately... I've started to... look at you... other ways...you know."

Ron kisses her, she doesn't make him stop. Then she look's at him in the eyes, and says:

"What does this mean?"

"I just don't know..."
