Chapter 1: silver Lining
The night sky was pitch black, and the full moon was shining brightly and a light shower was coming down in tiny droplets and yet there wasn't a soul in sight. Except for one. Harry Potter. This 17-year-old boy was walking in the midst of the streets smiling to himself. Just him and his safely sane mind. Everything was just down right dull. Well at least he had one thing to look forward to. Hogwarts.
This was his last year at Hogwarts; he wouldn't be going back after it. He'd done his O.W.L's and he was about to do his N.E.W.T's this year. And he'd be done, all finished, no more Hogwarts every year. He even knew what he wanted to become, just like his mother and father had- an Auror. After having the career advice from Mcgonagall in fifth year, he was sure to become an Auror, but well. he had a certain tinge in his bones that he had a better way of it. Why not a dark arts teacher? He could ask Dumbledore for a job, Lupin was meaning to retire. he wanted to go to Transylvania and help out a village there with people who have been bitten by werewolves. So this would be his last year as well, it was a good enough idea- why not? He'd even got better marks than Hermione in his O.W.L test for it. But he could also play for England in Quidditch; he'd even got an owl from the captain and wanted his reply no more than the end of his 7th year.
He was captain of the Quidditch team on Gryffindor. He hadn't become head boy (thank-fully) Hermione had become head girl, and Geoffrey Winter in Hufflepuff had become head boy. Everything was just swell, besides the part that he hadn't been talking to Ron. His smile had faded just when the thought hit him. He sat down on a bench and looked up at the bright half moon. He hadn't talked to Ron all summer. It wasn't his fault that he'd been caught and was put in detention because Harry had run faster than him when they were escaping from the kitchen while visiting Dobby. He wanted to go back and get him, but Hermione wouldn't let him, because she didn't want to get expelled the year before she left Hogwarts. He thought to himself quietly while making a strange reaction on his face. Honestly that girl sometimes was so stupid!! If it hadn't been for her, I'd still be best friends with Ron, this is so ridiculous. As the thought entered his mind again, he started to get very angry. He got up from the bench and probably made the most stupidest decision, but he wasn't going to sit on his butt and lose his very good friend, best friend even. He'd been looking forward to be able to spend days with the Weasley's since he could apparate, but now he wasn't friends with Ron. What if the others knew about it and wont let him in. Oh well, I guess it would just be another adventure? Escaping from the evil clutches of Mrs.Weasley. He laughed to himself at the thought of it, but oh well. He missed them, and he had another 4 weeks of holidays left. And he wasn't spending it with Hermione. He shuddered at the thought and stood up and apparated.
Meanwhile at The Burrow, an argument was taking place, which happens around 6 times a day and twice at meal times. "Look- I don't want him here!" " Oh stop being a baby!" George mumbled while trying to eat at the same time. Everyone was at the table except for Charlie (he was still in Romania). And Mrs.Weasley was still stirring the stew, and Ron, George, Fred and Ginny were arguing on whether or not they were inviting Harry and Mr.Weasley and Bill were talking about why people were starting to complain about Lupin teaching again. "I am NOT a baby!" Ron's ears began to turn red. "Oh yes you are! He's try to apologise millions of times just forgive him!" Fred said while trying to bewitch a carrot to fly right at Ginny "Stop it Fred you never mature do you?" said Ginny in annoyance "Nope not a single bit' Fred smiled at her in an evil way which still meant he was trying to get a good shot at her with the carrot. "Ron please, just forget about it!" shouted Ginny at the top of her voice "It's got nothing what so ever to do with you lot!" Ron said to Ginny while looking at George feeding his pet cat Bogey Face. "Fine then, I guess you wont mind if we invite him?" Mrs.Weasley exclaimed 'Of course I'd mind if you invited-" crack "Harry?" "Hullo" "Harry!!" Fred and George said in unison. Fred, Ginny and Bill went up to greet him while George was held back because his cat was clinging onto his jumper. 'Erm. Ron?" "What? Look you're not welcome here so please, get out." "Please Ron, mate, I didn't mean to- It was an-" "Accident? Oh yeah sure, whatever you say mate" He began to walk off when there was another crack "Ron- oh hi Harry- please forgive us! We didn't mean to leave you! Please! It was an accident! Please Ron!" It was Hermione she was on the verge of crying until. "Oh dry up your eyes Hermione. I'm just annoyed it's not like I wont ever speak to you two again!" Ron's voice was beginning to get louder until he reached his last word. "So why did you make such a fuss?" "Because, well-" "You were mating a flobberworm?" George suggested while wrestling his cat off his jumper. "Yes- NO! I just needed some time alone that's all!" "So you weren't annoyed?" Harry asked "Of course I was, its jut that something happened while I was doing my detention" "What?" Hermione asked eagerly "I'll tell you later, I'm just glad we're all talk-y again!" He smiled "Oh by the way, Professor Lockhart has remembered what has happened to him and why he writes signatures, but he keeps forgetting where he is and hat colour hair he has!" everyone groaned except Mrs.Weasley who was quite relieved. "Oh for god sake, don't you lot remembered what happened in second year? With Ginny?" Ron was again on the verge of popping, because his face looked like a tomato. "Oh cool it down Ron, just because he's a right idiot doesn't mean he isn't cute!" Hermione re-called.
