Harry Potter: Changes

"Harry, you sure don't like traveling by floo powder do you?" said Fred Weasley's voice as the twins helped Harry off of the floor.

"No but I'd better get used to it," answered Harry while wiping the soot off of his clothes. Harry had just come from the Dursley's. There was about a month before school started, and, although they were hesitant about it, the Weasleys thought that he should have some fun before he went back.

As long as he was careful.

Harry pulled out his wand and did a simple cleansing spell to get the soot off of his clothes fully. Harry had to have bodyguards to escort him to the Weasleys, which was why Lupin and Tonks were with him. They had to take an indirect path there because of the war many of the families wanted their fire places to be inaccessible and the Weasleys were one of those families. They were now at the twin's joke shop. (Which only a certain number of people knew about. One of those people wasn't Mrs.Weasley. She didn't want Fred and George to open a shop at all. And not now considering they were still at Hogwarts.)

(A/N: In order for my story to make sense Fred and George stayed an extra year at Hogwarts to get more advanced study. Sorry if this confuses you)

The plan was to use floo powder to get to the joke shop and then use the joke shop's fire place to floo into the Burrow. They had to do this because the only fire places that had access to the Burrow were Grimald place and the joke shop.

Lupin looked at his watch. "We have to get going. Bye Fred, George.
Harry stepped up to the fireplace and flooed into the Burrow, but not before Fred and George could whisper to him, "Thanks for helping us on our way Harry. We owe you."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Surprisingly Harry came out of the fireplace standing up and not dirty.

"Hello Harry!" cried Mrs. Weasley, pulling Harry into on of her famous hugs.

"Nice to see you too, Mrs. Weasley, but could I ask you to give me some air?"

"Oh, yes. Sorry Harry," she said letting go of him. Just then Harry heard a loud pounding of feet stomping down the stairs. He fell back to the floor as someone tackled him around his waist. He guessed this was Hermione.

"Oh Harry! I missed you so much," she said in a rush. She pulled back and looked at Harry.

"I missed you too Hermione," replied Harry.

"Hey mate," spoke up Ron, clapping him on the back.

"Hey"

Then Harry turned to Ginny. She looked mostly the same except her hair was now halfway down her back, cascading in red curls. She had filled out in all the right places and had got most of her womanly curves. She gave Harry a quick hug, when she pulled back she looked deep into his eyes for a moment as if studying his mind. Harry was quite surprised and relieved that Ginny was no longer shy around him. Then Ginny gave Harry a knowing look and said...

"How bout some Quidditch?"

"Sorry Gin, I can't. Remember Umbridge..."

"Oh that old fraud. She was kicked out of the ministry and the ban has been lifted... and in that case I'm guessing that you might want this back." she said producing his broom. Harry took it form her hands and ran his hand along the smooth edge.

"OK. Let's go," he said. They all went outside to play.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After a couple of hours of Quidditch they all felt beat and decided to call it a day. Inside they heard Mr. and Mrs. Weasley debating something.

"How do you think he's going to react to finding out about something like that? How do you think Harry's going to deal with finding out about her?" said Mrs.Weasley.

"I don't know. But Albus seems to think that it is the right thing considering he has lost Sirius. He needs someone. And I think that this is the perfect time," said Mr. Weasley tiredly.  "And I think it's best for him."

That's when they all walked in. They looked at Harry and smiled brightly.

"Hello Harry," siad Mr. Weasley.

"Hi Mr. Weasley," mumbled Harry. He had a feeling that the "him" they were talking about was indeed him.  It almost always was. Ron must have guessed how Harry felt because he said...
"Well, c'mon mate. You can unpack some of your stuff."

"Yeah let's go," said Harry. So Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Ginny proceeded to climb the many stairs that led up to the top room, which was just underneath the ghoul in the attic. But when they got there he didn't hear pipes clanging so he guessed that they had gotten rid of him. Harry like Ron's room, but it wasn't a room that he would choose for himself. The walls, floor, ceiling, were all bright orange, with Chudley Cannon posters lining the walls. Also most of Ron's furniture was all painted orange.

"So Harry," said Ron as he entered his room. "Your birthday's coming up, ya know sweet sixteen."

"Yeah, sweet 16," Harry repeated dully.

Ron and Hermione exchanged worried looks. Harry, who noticed this, was annoyed.

"You guys, I do have eyes ya know and I would like it if you stop worrying about me. I am a big boy you know."

"Harry, how can we NOT be worried? We are your best friends. Please remember that," she said with pleading eyes.

"OK Hermione chill," was his response.

By the time Harry unpacked his stuff it was time for dinner.

He took his place at the table, but when the food came around to him he took small portions, he was not very hungry, and he picked at his food. The only time he looked up was when he had the feeling that everyone was looking at him. When he looked up Ron and Mr. Weasley looked away but Ginny and Mrs. Weasley held their gaze.

"What?" he asked them.

"Harry," said Mrs. Weasley softly. "You have to eat something. You are all skin and bones. You have to realize that what happened was not your fault....Oh Harry I'm sorry." she said the last part as she realized what she had said. With this Harry shoved himself away from the table so hard that his chair turned over, and then he tore up the stairs into Ron's room and fell upon the floor and wept.
