Chapter 4 The Party
In a very good mood Sirius, Harry, Mr. and Mrs. Weasly left for a large party at Number Twelve, Grimauld Place.
"I hear that Fred and George have something planned for you", said Mr. Weasly happily.
"I fear the worst", exclaimed Mrs. Weasly and they had a little laugh. Every few steps Sirius would punch his fist into the air like a schoolboy winning a quidditch match. When the merry group reached Grimauld Place the Weaslys and Remus went home to get ready for the party. Harry and Sirius were left alone to catch up on things.
As they entered the house Harry asked, "Where is that son of a gun, Kreacher?"
"He bought it. Laughed himself to death when I tore of to the Dept. of Mysteries."
"But, the article... in the Prophet-"
"That was a cover story. Dumbledore already convinced Fudge I was innocent. The trial was real. I would not have got the kiss. I would have just been paid for in my life and in hiding." At this Sirius collapsed onto a sofa and remarked, "Hey I'm free! I can show myself again. I would also like to thank you a lot. I mean without you I'd bee in hiding. So, why don't you pop over to the Burrow, think about it, and then ask. Your wish is my command."
"Alright. I'll see you this evening. Congrats Paddy!" With that he grabbed a pinch of floo powder and exclaimed, "The Burrow!" "Don't EVER call me that again!"
When he reached he heard the twins singing their over familiar chant, "HE GOT OF HE GOT OFF!" Charlie then roared, "IF THATISSUES FORTH FROM YOUR MOUTH AGAIN, I WILL TRANSFIGURE YOU INTO A THREE HEADDED TOAD!"
Harry, in the spirit of things, chorused, "HE GOT OFF HE GOT OFF!" Then he headed upstairs in a sort of a jig, finishing after getting in Ron's room. He noticed Ron sitting at the windowsill with an extendable ear.
He beckoned Harry in and said, "Those girls are up to something that involves tonight's party and you and I." Noticing Harry's puzzled look he explained "Nina said 'we have to do it tonight, but I think it should be Harry' then Hermione is all like 'No way, it should be Ron' then Ginny says 'there are enough rooms in that bloody mansion for the both of them' that's when mum told us he got of. I am so happy he got off, but I am puzzled what they are talking about."
"Good man, Ron" With that, Harry picked up another Extendable Ear and plugged in. All he could hear was Ginny screaming, "I don't wan to be a part of your bloody plan. Let's see if ..." The door opened and closed. Harry was sure all three were coming down the hallway and warned Ron to plug out.
Ron ejaculated, "Fat lot of good that did!"
"As long as they aren't going to murder me, I'm fine", Harry joked and Ron chortled. As the girls walked by the hallway, Nina said, "O.K. You go tonight and I'll wait till were at Hogwarts."
"Never mind. I can't be that bad, can it?" Ro seemed confident about his statement. So did Harry. Harry wished he could hear what Hermione and Nina were talking about. At that moment Harry remembered Sirius' promise for a wish. Then it hit him.
"Ron, do you want to be an animagus?"
"Sure, I guess it would be cool, but would teach us?" he said trying to sound offhand.
"Sirius gave me a wish I could grant from him and he is an animagus."
"Hang on Harry! This is bloody brilliant. We should ask him tonight at the party!"
Harry looked a the clock t the mention of the party and groaned, "Ron, were supposed to be there in five minutes!" The two boys got Fred and George to use a cleaning charm on them, and they were ready to go. The Weaslys had arranged for Harry, Hermione, Ron, Nina, and Ginny to arrive by portkey and the rest apparate. Harry felt a pulling sensation around his navel when he touched the large spell book. They were the first to arrive.
Harry wandered over to the twins and asked, "What are you two planning?"
George replied, "Just testing anew product." Harry then spat out his butterbeer for fear it was tainted. "Don't worry", said Fred, "Just wait till the doorbell rings" Harry looked around for Ron or Hermione but he couldn't find them. He saw Nina and came up next to her.
"How you doing", said Harry
"It has been pretty fun. I hear that The Weird Sisters are coming."
"Mehavefirstdanceyou", Harry blurted out not quite aware of what he said.
"You want to dance with me?" Harry nodded. "Yeah" she said with a little giggle. Just then, someone rang the doorbell and the chant started, "HE GOT OFF HE GOT OFF!"
Mrs. Weasly tried a silencing charm, but it got louder. Sirius and Remus were laughing with Fred and George about it and it eventually died out. He then caught sigh of a disheveled Ron.
"Ron, where were you, mate? Did you hear the newest product of the Weasly Wizard Wheezes?"
"Hermione just kissed me", he said, looking out far into space.
"Well done, mate, at least you don't turn into a babbling idiot next to a girl you have a crush on."
"What's that, didn't hear you"
"Nothing" Harry was now really confused. He seemed to have a crush on Nina in another level, when he started blurting out things like that. He turned around to see Dumbledore tapping his wine glass with his fork.
"I have an announcement to make. As many of you know, the position of Defense Against the Dark Arts is once again vacant. I am proud to say that none other than the newly freed man, Sirius Black, has accepted the position. Congratulations, Sirius. I believe that here is also a toast in order for Sirius." Everyone murmured congratulation.
"I have an announcement to make", said Sirius rising, "Let the Weird Sisters begin!" The Weird Sisters apparated in to the house and struck up a new tune. Hermione and Ron were together and the Harry saw Nina. He grabbed her up and started dancing. He didn't feel nervous and could just go wild with happiness. He felt a warm feeling inside hat he had no felt in a long time.
In a very good mood Sirius, Harry, Mr. and Mrs. Weasly left for a large party at Number Twelve, Grimauld Place.
