Harry Potter and the Department of Chaos

Chapter two: Life in the burrow

Diclaimer: *sighs* No, I do not own Harry potter. Rowling, if you are willing to sell the WHOLE corporation for.ehm.*looks at empty wallet, then at piggy bank* 10 cents, I will buy it! XD

Harry ran outside, looking around frantically for the two teens.

Then he spotted them. He let out a loud laugh as he looked at the couple, Hermione clutching to Ron as if he was her favorite book. Ron's eyes were wide and his face and ears were a deep scarlet. Hermione pointed shakily to the gnome sitting in front of her, deliriously happy that he was able to scare someone.

Hermione shuddered.

"I. What. Those." She whispered, clinging to Ron. Harry chuckled and made his way over. Ron looked at him pleadingly as Harry grabbed the gnome and swung around, throwing him into the other yard.

Harmione relaxed, blushing furiously as she let go of Ron.

"Why were you clinging to me like that, Ron? Aren't you used to those?" She said rather indignantly. Ron glared at her and stalked into the house. Hermione suddenly paused, looking at Harry.

"Why are you here, Harry?" Hermione asked curiously.

"I got sent here because. Well, I'm not really sure.." He said, shrugging.

"Well, anyway, we should get our results and letters today." Hermione said, and as if on cue, Errol flew through the garden, hitting into random trees. Hermione giggled and Harry started walking towards the house, Hermione soon following.

Errol managed to make it into the kitchen, collapsing on the counter in exhaustion as Mrs. Weasley took the letters from Errol's legs. She looked at the letters and put them out on the table. There were 9 letters in all, one for Ginny, and two each for Ron and Hermione, and four for Harry. As all of them came in, they all settled down in front of the table covered in delicious breakfast items. Mr. Weasley sat at the head of the table, and Ron and Hermione sat together opposite Harry and Ginny. Mrs. Weasley passed out the letters and all of them covered their plates in food. They opened their OWL results first, and Ginny ate quietly, dreading the OWLs that were to come for her and all of the other fifth years.

Hermione looked through her OWLs expectantly. She squealed happily.

"10 OWLs! I can't believe it!" She squealed.

Ron didn't look quite as happy.

"6 OWLs. At least it's more than Fred and George." He said grumpily.

Harry opened his, dreading the worst. His eyebrows raised in surprise.

"7 OWLs! I got an A for potions, and an O for DADA." He said dryly.

Harry set the OWL results away and opened his Hogwarts letter. Thank goodness there wasn't any risk of being expelled this summer. He sighed happily at the thought.

Harry looked up from his letter to find Ron and Hermione gaping at their
letters.

Harry grinned. "Made head boy and girl?" He said cheerfully.

Ron and Hermione nodded slowly, staring at their badges. Ginny grinned
almost maniacally.b

"I made prefect!" She said, looking at Harry excitedly.

Harry looked at his next letter. He frowned. It had no name or address.
He shrugged and opened it anyway, gaping at what was inside.

Dear Harry,

I, Albus Dumbledore give you the keys to your second and third vaults.
Your second contains the rest of your fortune and the third contains Your
parents possessions. You may find some interesting and useful things in
Diagon alley this year. Buy at will, for you and your friends.

Sincerely,
Albus Dumbledore
Headmaster of Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Harry stared at the two golden keys much like the one he had before.
Stuffing them in his pocket before anyone could see, he opened the next
letter quickly, a much larger letter looking like it contained something.

This will help in your battle.

Harry frowned and shook out the contents. A single sheet of paper with a
note attached fell out. The paper looked old and ratty, like it had been
re used over and over again.

This is a fortune teller. Say 'I wish for marshmallows' and tap it with your wand. It will tell you what you wish to seek.

Ron reached over and looked at the map.

"It looks like the Marauder's Map." Ron said curiously, then shrugged, going back to his conversation with Hermione.
