Chapter: 2
Special thanks to Bella O for helping me write this. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~ Harry got up a couple hours latter after getting Ron's owl. He finished packing when he headed to the kitchen to tell his Aunt, and Uncle.
"Uncle Vernon?" Harry said as he came in. "I'm leaving around noon to day to go spend the rest of the summer with the Weasleys." Harry finished as he took the piece of burnt toast his Aunt had made for his breakfast while Dudley and his Uncle actually had a meal. He just sat there while waiting for his uncles reply.
"That's nice boy, now run off and leave me alone."
He said before realizing what Harry had just said. "Get back here now!" Harry's uncle bellowed at the top of his lungs.
"Your going were!" Vernon said while his face turned a deep purple. "There's no way your going with those, those freaks that you hang out with." Vernon finished almost stuttering as he did. After that reply Harry was having trouble just not to yell back at him but after clenching his fists he replied comely.
"Think about it this way." Harry said "You won't have me around to ruin any party you throw, there wouldn't be another mouth to feed, and final you wouldn't have to hide me from the neighbors, or will I have to tell Sirius about this." Harry finished knowing that he had won from the look on all there faces.
"So what time are these friends of yours coming to get you again?"
"They said that they would be here around noon today." Harry answered his uncle.
After finishing this he had barely had reached the top of the stairs
to get his stuff when he heard a the doorbell ringing continuously.
Laughing to him self there was only one person that could be Harry
thought to him self. Harry went to go get his stuff and before long
Harry was on his way home.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~ As Ginny sat on her bed thinking on how she was going to tell Hermione. She knew that Hermione was her best friend but just how was she going to say that she needed help to get her mind off of Harry, when Harry was one of Hermione's best friends.
"Just take your time Ginny no need to rush." Hermione finished while putting a arm around her shoulder and gave her a hug.
After a couple minutes Ginny figured it was time to tell her.
"Well it's just that I'm sick of not being noticed by Him." Ginny said weakly
"Oh do you mean dean? I thought he couldn't keep his eyes off you."
"No. Me and Dean broke up at the end of last year. It's , it's Harry I'm talking about." Ginny told her startled friend.
"It's Harry? Why didn't you say so in the first place?" Hermione asked.
"it's the fact that he was your best friend besides Ron, and I thought it might bother you." Ginny said while trying to keep from crying. When she finally looked at her friend she didn't see a look of surprise but one of understanding.
"You thought I would be bothered that you liked Harry and wanted to be more then a crush, that's nonsense. I've known that you liked Harry for awhile it was obvious that you had a crush on him but I didn't know you had this big of one on him." Hermione told her friend before continuing "I'm not bothered in the least, but your brothers might have something to say if they knew that you wanted to be more then just a friend." Hermione said before laughing to her self.
She could just see all of the Weasley boys holding Harry down as they did who knows what to him.
"What so funny?" Ginny asked confused to what could make her laugh right now.
"It's just that I just pictured what your brothers would do to Harry if they thought Harry was going out with you." Hermione confessed.
"And what would be so bad about me and Harry going out." Ginny said with mock anger. And crossed her arms in doing so.
"You know as well as I do how protective your brothers are of you." Hermione said back "you know I didn't mean to be harsh or anything."
"I know and your right it would be funny." Ginny said suppressing a giggle. "This year is going to be different though. I won't let my feelings for Harry get me this year."
"It's going to be hard you know its never easy to get over someone when you have feelings for them like you do." Hermione said with all seriousness "I'll help in anyway I can."
"Thank you that will help me a lot." Ginny barely finished when they heard the front door to the burrow open up and every one come in. With Mr. Weasley calling out "Everyone were home from getting Harry." "Well we better go down and say hi to everyone." With that Ginny and Hermionewent downstairs.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~ Ron and Harry were talking when they got to the burrow. Mostly about quidditch since last year Ron and Ginny both made the team as chaser and beater. But there conversation was interrupted when Hermione and Ginny came running down the stairs to greet them.
"Hermione how has your summer?" Harry asked. "and how was yours as well Ginny" "Ok." they said at the same time while giving Harry a hug then they walked off giggling to each other. Which just left Harry standing there scratching his head saying "Ok?"
He did notice something about Ginny that was different She hadn't blushed when she saw him and didn't stare at him with a day dreamer's look on her face. The more he thought about that the more it got to him that she was growing up to be woman. "Harry stop it now! That's your best friends sister." he said to himself and he snapped out of the daze he was in.
Just as Ron was about to say something Fred and George walked in and tossed a candy to Harry saying "Hey Harry want a toffee?"
"No thanks not really hungry but thanks any way." with that the twins looked at each other and said in sing song voice "Hey Ron would you like one?"
Harry saw Ron's Face get about as red as his hair and figured that he must have had one before this. Before he could stop him self Harry was laughing out loud.
"What's so funny Harry." Ron asked as if he had been betrayed.
"It's your face Ron you should of seen your self you looked like a tomato. I'm sorry if I offended you, but I couldn't help my self." now that I think about it which one did u get."
Now it was the twins turn to look betrayed "You told him about these before he could try one Ron. Now that hurts." with that George finished by saying "I don't know if I can live with knowing with what Ron did." "I know what you mean George, this calls for a duel. Quidditch at sunrise tomorrow" after that they turned and walked out heel to toes as if they were at a funeral.
"Well any way Ron which one did you get?" Harry asked again. And about ten minutes latter he knew the whole story. "So how long were you molting again before you got it all?"
"All this morning up to about a hour before we got you. I wonder if we could get a couple of those to give to Malfoy and his goons."
"That would be funny." Harry said agreeing "So what are we going to do about tomorrow's game. I'm sure that Fred and George are getting whoever they can for there team."
"Well not if we get them first." Ron countered. With that they were off.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~ The Quidditch duel kick started the summer for every one. It had most of the neighborhood involved. Through the whole game it was close Harry's team was barely holding on to the lead when Harry spotted the snitch by George's head. Harry was off to get it. Nearly getting hit by a bludger twice but he managed to keep ahead of Randy Toadward George's and Fred's seeker Harry saw the snitch duck behind Ginny.
Ron yelled "Harry watch out your heading right towards Ginny!"
"I know what I'm doing, trust me." Harry said back to Ron, and with that Harry moved over just enough to keep from hitting Ginny and catch the snitch and win the game.
After the game George and Fred were mumbling about there loss when Mrs. Weasley asked if they wanted to go to the beach for the rest of the day. George and Fred forgot about the game and looked at each other with a look that could only of been inspired by the devil him self came across there faces.
Harry borrowed a pair of shorts from Ron since he didn't have his own. "That was a close game Harry." Ron stated
"Yeah I know." Harry said "I was barely able to stay ahead of Randy though."
"To tell you the truth Harry you kinda scared me when you went flying at Ginny like that." Ron replied in a serious tone. "I'm sorry Ron I just did that so to throw Randy off to were the snitch was, I promise never to that again. The last thing I want to have happen is see any one get hurt." With that said they headed for the lake.
Quidditch games and going to the lake to swim were regular activities. Harry still had his nightmares but they were a lot more bearable since he was at the Weasleys. And Ginny was actually doing good not showing feelings towards Harry.
There was bout a week left when the owls from Hogwarts got there. Telling them each there supplies that they would need this year. Harry found out that he was made captain of the quidditch team since Angelina left last year. Every one congratulated Harry on this.
"Were going to be in our sixth year this year, where has the time gone." Ron stated
"Well with Vold..." Harry had almost said Voldemorts full name when he caught him self when he saw every one at the table flinching and correcting him self with "Well what I mean is with Quidditch practice, and tests, and he who must not be named coming back, took up a lot of are time, and now its just going to get worse." Harry finished but a glazed look came to his eyes as he thought about what happened over the last two years mainly his forth when Cedric died.
Mrs. Weasley quickly changed the subject of the conversation and asked "So every one eat up your going to need it when we go to get your supplies today."
"I wish there was something I could say to help Harry feel better but what's the point it's not like he's going to pay attention to what I have to say any way." Ginny thought as she opened her letter.
When Ginny opened her letter a perfect badge fell out. When seeing this Mrs. Weasley said astounded "Now almost every one of my children have been perfects" while giving Fred and George a look that would stop a banshee in its steps. "So Ginny dear since you made perfect what would you like to get?"
"It says that this year that were supposed to have formal dress robes." Ginny said looking down at her feet "I would like to have new beautiful dress robes if that's ok with you."
"Of course it is Ginny dear, you earned it" Mrs. Weasley told her daughter. "Now every one there's only one place were we can get all this."
"Diagon ally." almost everyone said at the same time. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~ Tell me what you think ppl. I think I got a little out of sinc on this one but hopefully the next will make up for this one
