Chapter 2: At The Burrow

After a long, exhausting flight on his Firebolt, Harry tumbles out of the fireplace after using Floo Powder. Harry looks up to see his other best friend, Hermione. Hermione had changed just as much as Harry. She was still rather short, but now had long straight brown hair. And thanks to Malfoy, she now had normal sized teeth. Some could suppose Malfoy meant to enlarge her teeth, so she could shrink them to normal size, because he's in love with her. And the fact that his curse could have bounced off of Harry's in any direction, and hit anyone, means nothing at all. In fact, Mudblood is probably just an endearing nickname he made up for her. And that time she slapped him; it was really just a love tap. Yeah, sure. On the other hand, it could be because they -hate- each other. Anyway, Harry was just about to ask her to the school dance, when Ginny walked up and he realized he was still undecided. On the one hand, Ron probably liked Hermione, and would probably beat up Harry. On the other hand, Ginny was Ron's sister, which could piss him off, leading to Harry getting beaten up again. Summoning all of his Gryffindor courage, he decided he'd ask Cho, just to be safe.

Concealed in the shadows of the corner was Percy. He was looking awfully suspicious with that Dark Mark on his arm, which his black tank top revealed. But no one thought anything of it. They figured; Hey, if a guy wants a tattoo, that's his business. It's just a coincidence that it's a tattoo of Voldy's calling card.

Alongside Percy in the shadows, was Scabbers. Percy had Scabbers on his buff shoulder, scatching him behind the ears. Scabbers appears to be whispering something in his ear.

"Wormtail, you fool!" he suddenly stands up and shouts.

Hey, Percy. How are you doing? Who's Wormtail?" Harry asked petting Scabbers on the head. Scabbers then took the liberty of biting Harry on the finger.

"Ouch! What's the matter with you Scabbers? It's me, Harry." Harry whined, tearing up at the sight of his injury.

"Harry, how nice to see you -alive." Percy said cackling evilly. And maybe it was just Harry's imagination, but Scabbers appeared to be cackling as well. Percy and Scabbers returned to their darkened corner, and Harry went to join Ron and Hermione, who had been in Ron's room for an awfully long time. Ginny managed to corner him on the staircase.

"Harry, how has your summer been? You've certainly grown." Ginny said while squeezing one of his biceps.

"I only know of at least 20 other guys who have such manly biceps." Ginny said in the most seductive tone a 14 year old could manage, which wasn't much. But it seemed to work on Harry. He began to stutter and blush.

"Well, are you going to just stand there Harry, or are you going to give me a hug?" Ginny asked holding out her arms.

Suddenly, Percy walks by and shoves Harry hard, which knocked Harry down the stairs, who took Ginny with him. Thinking fast, Harry used his Quidditch skills to switch places with Ginny, who landed on her neck, dying instantly.

"Wow. That was a close one, right Percy? You should be more careful. Percy? Now where did that guy go?" Harry wondered while Mrs. Weasley was crying hysterically over Ginny, and trying to choke Harry.
