taken so long to get back on track here, but I had a lot of problems to
take care of, Thanks for being patient while I got everything back on
track.
Sorry it's been so long.. On to the next Chapter.
Chapter 16
Let's go for a drive
Harry was sitting at the table, lingering over a second glass of juice, while reading one of the magazines he had purchased on his trip, when Ron, Hermione and Ginny entered the room. Glancing up, he sent them all a warm smile before turning his attention back to the magazine. Sirius had promised that since there was only two days left before the next school term started, that he would take Harry to the storage locker, where all of his parents things had been placed before they had gone into hiding. Therefore he had not thought of what might happen when he ran into his friends.
"Well, well, well, look who decided to stop hiding from the world." Ron drawled as he entered the room and noticed that Harry was still there.
"Shut it Ron." Ginny stated angrily as she returned Harry's smile with one of her own.
"How was your vacation? Sirius said he had a great time." Ginny asked as she poured herself some juice and sat next to Harry.
"It was great." Harry said as he put away his magazine.
"Sirius and I went to this muggle place called Disney Land. It's a muggle amusement park with all kinds of rides. I got you all something, but it's in my room." Harry said as he tried to draw Ron and Hermione out of their angry moods.
"Humph!" Ron snorted loudly as he ignored Harry and turned to speak to Hermione, who was also ignoring their ex-best friend.
"Stop it Ron." Ginny ordered as she sent her brother and Hermione a scathing glare at their rudeness.
"Ignore them Harry, they're just ticked because you did something without them." Ginny explained.
"Have you eaten yet? I could make you something if you like." Ginny offered hoping that she could find some way to break the tension that was growing in the room.
"No thanks Gin, I ate with Sirius, Remus, and Dumbledore a little while ago. I think I'll just go upstairs and wait for Sirius to get back." Harry said as he sent Ron and Hermione a hurt look and Ginny and a sad smile, before leaving the room.
"You two are pathetic." Ginny stated angrily as she glared at Ron and Hermione from across the table.
"Us! What about him! We are supposed to be friends but he's the one who took off!" Ron exclaimed angrily.
"Oh that's right, Harry went on vacation for the first time in his life and you two are acting like babies. It's not like either one of you ever invited him along when you go away during the summers!" Ginny yelled at them before hurrying after Harry. Those two may be acting like jerks, but someone had to let Harry know, that he still had friends despite what had happened between them all at the beginning of the summer.
Harry was sitting on his bed going through his trunk to make sure that he had completed all of his homework, even Ginny tapped on the door.
"What did you get me?" Ginny asked as Harry opened the door to find her smiling up at him.
Harry smiled as he went to his trunk and pulled out several items, a t- shirt, a stuffed lion, and pair of shorts with Mickey Mouse on them and handed them over.
"These are great!" Ginny exclaimed happily as she hugged the stuffed lion to her chest.
"I had to guess at the size, I hope they fit." Harry said as he turned away so that she could not see the blush that tinged his cheeks.
"Well, it seems that you guessed right. Thank you Harry." Ginny said as she pressed her lips against his cheek.
"Your welcome." Harry said as his cheeks deepened with red.
"Harry can I talk to you about something?" Ginny asked as she turned to leave, but stopped herself.
"Sure, what's on your mind?" Harry asked just as Sirius stuck his head through the door.
"Hey kiddo, you ready to go?" Sirius asked as he made a mental note to have "the talk" with Harry, when he found him alone with Ginny in his room with his door closed.
"Hey Gin, you want to go with us?" Harry asked, feeling bad that he didn't have the time to talk to Ginny about her problem.
"Sure, just let me tell mom." Ginny said as she smiled happily and hurried out of the room.
"You sure about Ginny coming along?" Sirius asked, not sure of how Harry was going to react when he saw some of the things that had been placed in the storage locker.
"Unless you would rather she didn't, it's fine with me." Harry said, mentally slapping himself for not checking with Sirius first.
"It's fine with me." Sirius assured Harry as he threw an arm across Harry's shoulders and they headed downstairs, where they found Molly and Ginny waiting in the foyer.
"Sirius, Harry, Ginny tells me you invited her to go with you on your outing." Molly said, unsure if it was wise for Ginny to go with them, considering where they were going. She had talked to Sirius earlier and knew where they were going and wasn't sure if it would be wise to allow Ginny to go along with the two, not because she didn't trust them to keep Ginny safe, but because it was going to be a very emotional experience for both of the men.
"Actually, Harry invited Ginny to come along, which I have no problem with." Sirius assured Molly.
"Alright, you behave young lady, and stay close to Sirius and do exactly as he tells you." Molly instructed as she hugged Harry and Ginny, before allowing out the front door.
"Relax Molly, they will both be fine." Sirius assured Molly before closing the door behind him self.
"Alright you two grab my hands." Sirius instructed.
A moment later, Ginny and Harry found themselves standing in front of an old storage shed that was surrounded by a large fence and Harry could feel the magic that surrounded them.
"Where are we?" Ginny asked as she watched Sirius place his palm against the door, where it glowed for a moment, before the door began to creak slowly open.
"This is the place my parents stored a lot of their stuff before going into hiding." Harry explained as he grabbed Ginny by the hand and followed Sirius inside.
"Wow." Ginny whispered under her breath as she stepped inside to find despite the smallness of the shed from the outside, the inside appeared to be huge and filled to capacity with boxes and other things that were simply covered with sheets because of their size.
"Are we looking for something specific? Or just looking?" Ginny asked as she stared wide-eyed at the contents of the huge room.
"Since we are short on time, I thought we might just look for Harry birthday gift." Sirius said with a grin as he began to peek beneath some of the larger items covered by the sheets.
"You mean it?" Harry asked hopefully.
"Well, you do have your license now, so why not?" Sirius grinned as he ripped back a huge cover and a bright red shinning car gleamed in the light.
"Can we take it for a ride?" Ginny asked hopefully as she stared in amazement at the beautiful red corvette sitting before them.
"I don't see why not." Sirius said as he waved his wand and a third seat appeared where the trunk had been.
"Climb in." He said as he tossed Harry the keys and climbed into the seat he had just created, leaving the front passenger seat for Ginny, who squealed in excitement as she opened the door and climbed in.
Harry felt a thrill of excitement course through his veins as he climbed in and started the car. The sound of the engine roaring to life, made his heart speed up and just as he started to put the car in gear to maneuver it out of the shed, the entire car with its passengers suddenly disappeared with a loud roar.
