Weasley Wizarding Wheezes
After a wonderful game of Quidditch, Harry, Ron, and Ginny floated down to the ground.
"That was so much fun!" Ginny said enthusiastically.
"Yeah I know. Um Harry, you think now would be a good time to talk?"
"Sure. We still have a good hour until we leave for Diagon alley. I can't wait to see Fred and George's shop." said Harry after glancing at his watch.
"Yeah their really minting money." said Ron getting cut of midway through his sentence.
"YES! YES! YES! THEY'RE HERE! THEY'RE FINALLY HERE!" screamed Hermione at the top of her voice.
Harry, Ron, and Ginny rushed in through the back door clueless as to what was happening. There was Hermione squeezing the life out of a very official looking owl.
"I COULD KISS YOU! But I wont" said Hermione letting go of the owl. The owl frantically flew out of the open window in which it came through.
Ron let go of his Cleansweep, it dropped down to the floor with a clatter.
"Harry, Ron! The OWL results are finally here!" said Hermione starting to hyperventilate.
"Let me see!" Ron said pushing Ginny aside.
Ron walked over to the kitchen table where Harry and Ron's letters lay. Ron's eyes widened with excitement as he picked up the letter addressed to him. Harry walked over to the table and picked his up.
Mr. Harry James Potter Number 12 Grimmauld Place
"Let's open them together." said Hermione.
"Ok on the count of 3. 1.2.3!" Harry yelled ripping his letter open.
There was the usual Hogwarts letter and list of books her needed to get, then there was a folded piece of parchment with the Hogwarts emblem sealing it. Harry opened it carefully.
Dear Mr. Potter,

"Yes!" Harry said while punching the air.
Harry picked up his Hogwarts letter.
Dear Mr. Potter,
We welcome you to another year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Please note: Enclosed in this letter is your supply list. You may bring an owl, cat, or frog as your pet. Please bring only one! The Hogwarts express leaves on September 1st at 11 o'clock at Kingscross station on platform 9¾.
Sincerely Albus Dumbledore, Headmaster
Harry folded up the pieces of parchment and placed them on the table. Ron and Hermione did the same.
"So? How did you all do?" Ginny questioned turning to Ron
"6. And I'm not Prefect this year" He said with no enthusiasm whatsoever.
Ginny turned to face Harry.
"8." Harry said grinning.
Ginny lastly turned to Hermione.
"11!" Hermione screamed jumping up and down.
She hugged Ron then Harry, and even Ginny. Hermione was beaming.
"Good job Hermione!" Ron said trying to hide his disappointment.
"Nice going." said Harry.
"Great! Good for you!" Ginny added.
There was an awkward moment of silence.
"Look at the time. We better start getting ready to leave for Diagon Alley." said Ron after a few minutes.
"Yes we better." said Hermione. "See you later."
Harry heard Hermione running up the stairs. She was probably going to owl her parents telling them about her results. Ginny walked out of the room after saying goodbye.
"Now is the perfect time to talk about whatever you wanted to Ron." said Harry looking into his best friends eyes. "Yeah. Why don't we sit down?" said Ron motioning towards the kitchen table.
"So, what did you want to talk about." asked Harry.
"A few things, well-um." said Ron flushing.
"Is this about Hermione?" asked Harry.
Harry knew that since the 2nd year, Ron had liked Hermione, but now Harry's feelings seemed to be betraying his best friend.
Ron looked down at his feet then back to Harry. Then his feet seemed more interesting so he looked at them intently.
"Yes." Ron whispered.
"Go on then. What about her?" said Harry acting as if he knew nothing.
"Well I-I um-" Ron said stuttering.
"You fancy her." said Harry ever so slightly wishing his prediction was wrong.
"I don't know about that, but there definitely is something there." said Ron looking at Harry.
"What I wanted to know is, if you have any feelings for her?" Ron asked looking deeply into Harry's eyes.
Harry wanted to say yes more then ever, but he knew better.
"None, none at all." said Harry defensively. Something caught Harry's eye by the kitchen door. He looked at the spot for a few seconds then turned back to Ron.
"Y-You're sure?" said Ron.
"Yes." said Harry, his mind screaming NO!
Hermione entered the kitchen with her hair in her face.
"Are you ready?" asked Harry.
"No, I just forgot my book down here." said Hermione walking out of the room just as fast as she entered. Harry noticed her eyes were red. He decided he would ask her about it when Ron wasn't around.
*
Thirty minutes later Mr. and Mrs. Weasley came thumping down the stairs.
"Are you boys ready?" Mrs. Weasley asked in a sweet voice.
"Yeah, we're just waiting for the girls." said Harry.
"Alright, but if they don't get down here soon we'll be late." said Mrs. Weasley.
"There they are now." said Mr. Weasley sticking his head out of the kitchen door.
Harry and Ron stood up and walked out of the kitchen and into the entrance hall. Ginny was in a t-shirt and jeans and Hermione was in a jean skirt that went a little above her knees and a light jacket for summer weather. Harry thought she looked great and it seemed Ron did to. Hermione wore no make-up, she didn't need to. Over the first few weeks of the summer Hermione had become a goddess.
Harry stared at Hermione, she noticed and looked away.
"Are we leaving now?" Hermione asked politely.
"Yes dear, I just have to get the supply lists." noted Mrs. Weasley.
After a few minutes everyone was ready. They all walked into the living room and up to the fireplace. Mr. Weasley pulled out a small box and opened it. Flo powder overflowed in it.
"I'll be going first." Mr. Weasley said taking a hand full of powder and handing the box to his wife. Mr. Weasley tossed the powder into the fireplace and green flames immediately burst out of nowhere.
Mr. Weasley stepped into the fireplace and yelled "Diagon Alley!"
"Ginny, dear you're next." ushered Mrs. Weasley.
Ginny took a hand-full of flo powder and tossed it into the fireplace and did the same as her father.
"Ron." Mrs. Weasley said.
Then only Harry, Hermione, and Mrs. Weasley were left.
"Harry." Mrs. Weasley said.
Harry grabbed the flo powder and threw it into the fireplace. He stepped in and waved goodbye then yelled "Diagon Alley!"
Harry was spinning around in circles. He felt his stomach go up and just as he was going to be sick the spinning stopped and he shot through a fireplace. Harry stood up and looked around. He was in a luxurious room filled to the rim with luxurious things. Harry spotted a door. Just as he was about to open it the handle started to turn.
"Fred?" said Harry seeing Ron's brother.
"Harry?" said Fred with just as much confusion.
"Welcome to Weasley Wizarding Wheezes." Fred said grinning.
There was a rumbling sound coming from the fireplace. Harry turned around just as Hermione shot out. She slid for about a meter then stood up rubbing her arm.
"Harry? Fred? Where are we?" Hermione inquired.
"Welcome to Weasley Wizarding Wheezes Hermione." Fred said grinning evilly once again.
"Oh! This is your shop. Common let's take a look at it." said Hermione
"Alright then, I'll give you the grand tour." said Fred.
Harry and Hermione exited the room with Fred. They were now in what seemed to be the storage room. There were many boxes towering on top of each other in rows. After 2 minutes of walking they reached a staircase. They climbed up the long set of stairs and opened a door at the top. They were now in Fred and George's unbelievable store. "Wow." said Hermione in awe looking around.
Harry was very surprised. All this from 1000 galleons? He thought.
"Harry, Hermione!" said George.
"Hey, George." Harry and Hermione said in unison.
"Common George, we're giving them the grand tour." said Fred winking.
"Wonderful." George said rubbing his hands together.
"Where shall we start?" asked George.
"How about, aisle 'M'?" Fred answered.
"Ah, My personal favourite." George said.
"What does the 'M' stand for?" Hermione asked suspiciously.
"Mischief." Fred replied.
The four passed aisles Z-N and finally reached their destination, aisle Mischief.
Gadgets and Gizmo's loomed over all along the aisle. Anything and everything that could possibly cause havoc was there.
"Dynamite Doorbells; explodes when an unsuspecting visitor rings it." George explained.
Tantalizing Toilet Seats; has a volcanic eruption once you're done your erm- business. This one was quite disturbing to test." Fred chimed.
"Provocative Pillows; switch a normal pillow with this one, and your victim has a very embarrassing nightmare." George said pointing to a quite comfy and innocent looking pillow.
"Sadistic Spiders; pretend to be vicious at first, then tickle you until you scream mercy with all eight of their legs," Fred paused. "Speaking of spiders, where is Ron?"
Harry and Hermione turned to each other lightning-fast.
"Ron." they said in unison.
"Fred, George. Ron went through the fireplace right before us! Where could he be?" Hermione said practically yelling.
"I think I know." Harry said.
Harry, Hermione, Fred, and George ran out of Weasley Wizarding Wheezes after Fred and George hastily hung a 'back in 1 hour' sign on the door.
The four all ran to the middle of Diagon Alley.
"Harry," Hermione said panting. "Where are we going?"
"Take a left here." Harry said.
They climbed down a long and dark set of concrete stairs.
"Harry, is this Knockturn Alley?" Hermione asked. "Yeah, in 2nd year I traveled by Flo powder to Diagon Alley with the Weasley's, you probably remember Fred and George. And I said Diagon Alley wrong and ended up here. Hagrid came to my rescue but I hope Ron is okay." said Harry quickly.
Fred and George entered a shop called the Deathly Dynasty. Harry and Hermione ran in after them.
"Excuse me sir," George asked a man in black robes "Have you seen a boy about 2 feet taller then me with red hair, a long nose, and big feet?"
"Yeah I saw a guy, 'bout twenty' year's ago." said the man cackling.
"Nah' I'm jus' pullin' you're leg. I haven't seen no red-headed Pinocchio with big feet around these parts." said the Man laughing once again.
"Oh, thanks anyways." said George with a frown.
"Where is he?" George asked.
Hermione glanced out of the glass door and screamed, "There he is!"
Harry, Hermione, Fred, and George burst out of the store. There was an ash- covered Ron running around in circles being chased by a bat.
Hermione whipped out her wand and yelled, "Stupefy!"
The bat halted in mid-air and floated down to the ground graceful as a feather.
Just as Hermione tucked her wand into her pocket a very official looking owl swooped down.
"Oh no! I forgot all about no magic outside of school! My perfect record!" screamed Hermione grabbing her hair in frustration. Hermione grabbed the scroll of parchment and tucked it in her pocked blushing furiously.
Fred and George ran up to Ron.
"What happened?" they yelled together.
"I dunno!" Ron yelled back.
"Hermione, Harry!" Ron said walking past his brothers.
"Ron! We were so worried about you!" Hermione said flinging her arms around Ron's neck. Ron immediately turned redder then his hair and winked at Harry. Harry's insides boiled, but then he remembered everything that happened in the last few hours including his and Ron's little talk. Hermione let go of Ron and faced Harry staring at him for a moment then turning her head away.
Harry sighed. "Ron. We got to see Fred and George's shop!" Harry bellowed.
"Lucky!" Ron gasped.
"By the way, where are mum, dad, and Ginny? And where are we?" Ron asked looking around.
"We're in Knockturn Alley. And we don't know where your mum, dad, or Ginny is." replied Hermione.
"Well we better look for them, our 'be back in 1 hour sign' is almost expired." said George.
"Mum is going to be furious." said Ron frowning
*
Harry, Ron, Hermione, Fred, and George reached Flourish and Blots. Ginny and Mr. and Mrs. Weasley came rushing out of the store.
"Where have you three been?" Mrs. Weasley yelled
"Mum, I went to the wrong place when I flooed. I ended up in Knockturn Alley. Harry, Hermione, Fred, and George came and found me." Ron said shutting his eyes readying himself for impact.
"You what?" Mrs. Weasley screamed. "I told you this was a bad idea! What if something happened!" she screamed towards her husband.
"But Molly dear, nothing happened." Mr. Weasley said.
"I suppose your right, but were not doing this ever again!" she yelled. "I got all of your supplies and all there is left to get are your robes." Mrs. Weasley said kindly.
Harry glanced at Fred and George. They were grinning.
"Hey Ron, what would you say if we got you some new robes?" said George in a suave voice.
"You would do that, for me?" Ron asked in disbelief.
"Yeah business is booming and we've got plenty of money to spare on our little brother." said Fred pinching Ron's check.
"I'll meet you guy's at Madam Malkin's later, I have to go meet up with my parents. They have some of my things." said Hermione.
"Alright dear." said Mrs. Weasley "But hurry."
Hermione ran of in the direction of Gringotts Bank.
* Harry, Ron, Fred, and George had just entered Madam Malkins when Hermione came running through the door with a cage occupied with none other then the fat ginger cat named Crookshanks.
"Not that thing again." Ron said in disgust.
"It's not a thing." Hermione said glaring at Ron.
"Well I'm of to the girl's section." said Hermione with a flip of her hair.
"So Ron, I heard you are in desperate need of new dress robes." Fred said emphasizing the word 'dress.'
Ron settled on some black dress robes and his much longer school robes.
Hermione walked up to the boys.
"What did you get?" Harry asked.
"I settled for midnight blue dress robes and 2 inch longer school robes." said Hermione with a smile. "What about you?" she asked Harry.
"Black dress robes and 4 inch longer school robes." said Harry.
Hermione turned to Ron.
"Same as Harry except my robes were 6 inches longer."
"How about some ice cream?" Hermione asked.
"Yeah, sounds good." said Harry.
*
After three ice cream cones each Fred and George had to go back to their store.
"See you later!" George hollered.
"Bye!" Ron called back.
"We better meet back with your Mum, Dad and Ginny." said Harry looking at his watch.
"Yeah, we probably should." said Hermione.
"Ok lets go." said Ron.
*
Harry, Hermione, and Ron met back with the rest of the Weasley's.
"Have you all got your robes?" Ginny asked.
"Yeah." Ron said.
"Well we better get home." said Mr. Weasley.
"How are we getting home?" asked Hermione.
"I suppose we'll just have to use flo powder. There are no cars and there is no way we're using a portkey." said Mrs. Weasley.
They all went into Fred and George's shop. After looking around for a bit they entered the luxurious room in which Harry and Hermione had came and tossed flo powder into the fire and flew out of the fireplace in the living room of number 12 Grimmauld place.
Harry shot out with Hermione following. Then came all of the things they had bought in Diagon Alley and finally Mr. Weasley.
After dinner, Harry was very tired. So he went up into his and Ron's room and got ready for bed. Just before getting into his bed, he took out his Hogwarts letter and his OWL results. Something fell out; it was a small ripped piece of parchment.
Harry,
I think this year; you can take the responsibility for being the Gryffindor Prefect. Congratulations.
Yours Truly, Albus Dumbledore, Headmaster
A shiny badge with the letter 'P' on it was pinned onto the bottom of the letter.
Harry couldn't help but grin. Now his 6th year was looking pretty good. Harry climbed into bed and drifted of into a deep sleep.

"Yeah." Ron said.
"Well we better get home." said Mr. Weasley.
"How are we getting home?" asked Hermione.
"I suppose we'll just have to use flo powder. There are no cars and there is no way we're using a portkey." said Mrs. Weasley.
They all went into Fred and George's shop. After looking around for a bit they entered the luxurious room in which Harry and Hermione had came and tossed flo powder into the fire and flew out of the fireplace in the living room of number 12 Grimmauld place.
Harry shot out with Hermione following. Then came all of the things they had bought in Diagon Alley and finally Mr. Weasley.
After dinner, Harry was very tired. So he went up into his and Ron's room and got ready for bed. Just before getting into his bed, he took out his Hogwarts letter and his OWL results. Something fell out; it was a small ripped piece of parchment.
Harry,
I think this year; you can take the responsibility for being the Gryffindor Prefect. Congratulations.
Yours Truly, Albus Dumbledore, Headmaster
A shiny badge with the letter 'P' on it was pinned onto the bottom of the letter.
Harry couldn't help but grin. Now his 6th year was looking pretty good. Harry climbed into bed and drifted of into a deep sleep.
