------------------------------------
Harry spent the last few hours in his room, playing around with his Time
Turner, he'd been in the past, present and future and seen all. What else
could he do?
I'm so bored, maybe ...
He decided to surprise Ron, so he pushed the button 'Present' and said,
"Ron's room!"
There was that blinding white light and then Harry heard himself land.
He opened his eyes to see the exact room that he'd been in before, only
that the Chudley Cannons posters were off. It looked like Ron was now
either tidying his room, or supporting another Quidditch team.
There wasn't anyone in the room at the time, so Harry sat down on Ron's
bed.
"Yes mom, i've sent Harry the letter."
Ron's voiced echoed outside, Harry felt nervous. Should he hide?
The door opened and there stood Ron, taller and looking annoyed.
When Ron saw Harry, he didn't know what to say.
"Harry? How? Wha- Did Fred and George go get you?"
Harry laughed, "No. Lupin gave me a Time Turner for my birthday." Harry
showed Ron the Time Turner, which was strapped around his left wrist.
"Cool! So, so you came here with it? Right? Wow ..."
"Yeah, well ..."
"Mum'll never in a million years buy me one. How can Lupin afford one?
Those are really expensive! And this is the new model, right? And i thought
it was illegal for a under-age Wizard to own one. Harry, Harry?"
Yup, Ron hadn't changed. Still full of questions.
"Tonks and him got it for me, Lupin said, he said..."
Should he tell Ron what Lupin had said?
"What?" Ron asked, puzzled.
Harry let out a breath, "Lupin had said maybe i could go and save Sirius,
you know ..."
Ron turned pale, "But, but that would change the past! You know you
shouldn't go meddling around with history! And plus, it's not just risky
but dangerous. What if the past you, me or Hermione or some other person
caught you? What would you do?"
Harry hadn't thought of that, "I dunno Ron."
"Well, it really doesn't matter know, does it? I mean, your choice. It's up
to you, would you go save Sirius, which i have to say, is dangerous and
deadly risky, or not? Either way, something bad will happen."
"We'll have to talk this over with Hermione, i have to go now, the
Dursleys, they'll be mortified when they find out i've been transporting
everywhere."
Harry turned to leave, when Ron stopped him.
"I've got an idea," Ron said, "Transport me into your room."
"What?!" Harry said, almost yelling, "Are you crazy??"
"Hey, don't worry. Just do what i say, ok?"
Harry wasn't so sure, but he pushed the button 'Present', said his room and
off they went in a flash of a blinding light.
"I'm coming up there Potter! I'm coming!" When Harry and Ron had landed in
Harry's room, uncle Vernon's voice boomed through the house.
"Oh no," Harry said, "Quick, hide!"
Harry got Ron to hide somewhere, when at the same moment, uncle Vernon
burst in.
"You - Out - Lounge - Now!"
His eyes were big and red, his face was big and red, actually, he was
always big and red.
Harry obeyed and followed his uncle out. Ron, who was dead scared, was
hiding behind the door and half squashed. He sliped out and went over to
Hedwig, who was all very used to uncle Vernon's anger.
"Geez, is he always like that?" Ron asked, Hedwig seemed to have nodded and
then nibbled Ron's ear.
Dudley and aunt Petunia were already down there, both looked scared to
death.
"This, this *thing* arrived a few minutes ago. Explain."
Uncle Vernon sat down next to his wife and son, grtting his teeth.
Harry saw nothing, was this some kind of joke? No way, Dursleys never joke.
"Uhhh ..." Harry didn't know whether to laugh or not, he was definately
confused. What had made the Dursleys get him in the first place?
"Don't play funny with me boy." Uncle Vernon's veins began to purple, "What
is it?" Harry asked. "THAT POTTER, THAT. DON'T TELL ME YOU CAN'T SEE
*IT*!!!"
Harry was dead confused, "I can't see it, whatever it is."
"Oh dear lord, forget it, fine. Leave, now, before i change my mind. Go
leave, now, room, go, now."
Uncle Vernon looked like he wanted to tear Harry apart, so Harry quickly
ran back into his room.
Ron was there, sitting on his bed reading.
"What was the fuss?"
"Nothing," Harry said, and he explained to Ron.
"Doesn't seem like a biggie, i mean, if you can't see it, it's none of your
problems."
"Yeah," Harry said, "So what was your plan?"
Ron put down the book and sat up, "Easy. Grab your things, i'll help you,
and transport into my room. Easy. Then maybe we can get Hermione that way,
or just get her the other way. She might go balistic."
"Wait, wait, so you want me to teleport to your house with all my things.
Now?"
"Yup."
"Um, im not sure ..."
"Who cares, come on, i'll be helping."
"Ok."
Harry took out two empty suitcases from under his bed and opened them, he
got Ron to put in his clothes, letters & birthday gifts and all that other
stuff.
"Done." said Harry, he got Ron to hold into one suitcase and Hedwigs cage
(Harry had got her to fly to Ron's house not long ago), while Harry carried
his other case.
"Ron's room!"
"Whew, no-one's here." Harry opened his eyes, he saw Hedwig perched
alongside 'Pig' on a chair.
"Hedwig!"
Harry said, she made a soft humming noise.
"Ok Harry, the plan is, you unpack and set up your bed there while i'll go
down and tell mum that you arrived unsuspectingly! If she asks you
anything, just say you were on the Knight Bus and flew up into my room on
your broomstick. Kay?"
Harry had to laugh, "Alright Ron."
While Ron was downstairs, Harry set out a sleeping bag on the floor.
Suddenly Harry heard footsteps coming up the stairs, and the unforgetable
Mrs Weasley saying, "What in the world, Ron, stop with the lies!"
The door opened, and in stepped Ron, then Mrs Weasley and Ginny.
"Harry? Harry! Oh my goodness child, come here, why didn't you come in
through the door? Flying into Ron's window, why, kids these days!"
"Hi Mrs Weasley, Ginny."
"Hi Harry." Ginny said, no longer shy of Harry.
"Well, Ron, help Harry unpack. Ginny, tell your brothers that Harry's
here."
When mrs Weasley went out, Fred and George came in.
"Got our letter Harry? Come into our room, Lee's here, we've been
experimenting!"
Harry didn't really like the idea of it, but he was curious so he said to
Ron, "I'll be back later." Ron nodded.
"You see dear little Harry, we've made about 51 new inventions since the
letter we've sent. Be our guest to test some, 100% guarantee safe." George
said, "Right." Harry mumbled.
As Freds hand turned the door, they heard a loud explosion coming from the
room and someone yelling out in triumph ...
