Chapter 4: The End of the Summer

Harry opened his eyes and he couldn't believe it. He was standing in the stadium of a Quidditch Pitch!!!!!! Harry Swore loudly. He actually had a Quidditch Pitch in his house. The field felt like they were outside in perfect weather. " Have you told anyone yet?" Harry asked. "Well, no." Ginny replied. " Don't tell anyone. We'll surprise everyone in the morning. They eventually left the room. Harry tried to remember which way to turn from his room, but they made so many, Harry got confused. Once Harry finally found his room, he went into his bathroom and took a bath. After about an hour, Harry got out and got into bed. He was so glad to have his own house, not to mention his own Quidditch Pitch. Then he remembered that he didn't even thank Dumbledore. ' I'll have to thank him in the morning.' Harry thought. Then, he fell into a peaceful sleep. A house elf named Lyenolt woke him in the morning with a cup of tea. Harry got dressed and went into the kitchen. The house elves had breakfast on Harry's very large kitchen table where all of the Weasley's except Bill and Charlie were already seated. Hermione, Lupin, Tonks, and Dumbledore were also there. 'Where are Bill and Charlie?" Harry asked. "Oh, they left early dear." Mrs. Weasley answered. After breakfast, Ginny came up to him. " When are we going to show them?" She asked. " Now" Harry answered. " Can everyone come with us for a minute? Ginny and I would like to show you all something that I think you will enjoy." Dumbledore must have known what Harry was going to show them, because he smiled and winked." Harry and Ginny led everyone to the door. Harry was lost, but Ginny seemed to know where she was going. " Everyone close your eyes and grab the hand of the person in front of you." Ginny said. Everyone did as she said as they went in single file. Once everyone was in the room standing in a line with their eyes closed, Harry said," Open your eyes." It was great!! Fred and George were screaming like little girls. Ron swore and Mrs. Weasley hit him on the head. Mr. Weasley was just standing there flabbergasted. Tonks looked as if she was about to faint. Everyone else was talking all at once about how great this would be. Dumbledore just stood at the door smiling. Harry walked up to Dumbledore and said, "I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate this. I really love my house. Thank you." He said. "Harry, you are very welcome. You deserve this."

The last weeks of the summer passed so quickly, that Harry almost didn't want to go back to Hogwarts. On the last day of the summer, Ron pulled Harry into his room. " Harry, how would you feel if Hermione and I were, well, a couple?" Ron said. " Wow, Ron, that's cool, just don't forget about me totally. I knew you two liked each other, it was just a matter of time." Harry answered. Harry was really happy for Ron and Hermione. Harry had actually been thinking about someone else a lot lately. Ginny. Harry would mentally beat himself up when he caught himself looking at her. 'That is my best friend's sister.' He would tell himself. He couldn't help it though. He really liked her. She was funny, and, now that she didn't run away from him in fear, he liked her a lot. The day came to pack up their stuff. Harry was in a grouchy mood all morning, because he did not want to leave his house. Hermione came into his room and asked him why he was so grumpy. He told her he didn't want to leave his house so soon. Hermione stood there for a second then ran down the hallway without saying a word to him about his problem. 10 min. later, Lupin was standing at his door. " Harry, you know that you can come here anytime you want right." "Really?" Harry asked. " Of course. All you need is Floo powder. I'm sure Dumbledore won't mind you coming home every-so-often as long as it doesn't interfere with your studies." This cheered Harry up a lot.
