Harry Potter and the New Life Chapter twenty – Oooooo look at that... It's so big!
Take the chapter tittle however you wish too but please review.
I'm a bit mad I put sixteen chapters up over two days so these next ones will probably go up much slower sorry but my fingers hurt and I've gone a bit pasty.
Annoyed at the girls constant giggling Harry and Ron sent off there forms (Ron having to convince his dad to sign it and Harry just plonking his own name on the Signature line much to Ron's annoyance!)
The group decided to go do some muggle site seeing as although Ron and Ginny had been to London many times they rarely ended up in muggle London.
George and Harry did pay for everything despite Ron's objections and they went up London tower, on the London eye, to see where Shakespear performed and Harry explained who he was a brought Ginny a copy of Romeo and Juliet thinking she would like it.
Later in the afternoon George treated them all to a lovely dinner at the top of a very tall restaurant right on the waters edge and the waiter was absolutely astounded when Harry order three main course for himself and two puddings.
In the evening they walked back to Diagon ally and Harry collected his new contact lenses before sitting in the Leaky Cauldron for several drinks of Butterbeer, until Ginny was clearly knacked.
That evening George and Ron seamed to be getting on well but by midnight both Harry and Ginny had gone to bed or in Harry's case eaten another meal and gone to meditate on a pre cooled floor. (Dobby had been icing it all evening for him.)
Harry found the vast amounts of Butterbeer had an unusual affect on him when it came to meditating, he drifted in to his unconscious state much quicker than usual and was able to do something he had never before attempted.
Upon reaching that empty feeling of sitting on the centre of the earth, Harry was able to get up and look around himself. It wasn't like been in a room or a cave like he had first imagined, it was like he could see assorts of things that he could only imagine were memories in big drifting Cubes much bigger than he seemed to be.
He wasn't sure if they were all his, some he could clearly work out as his, as one looked like he was talking on the floor to a snake, like just before he went to Hogwarts and found out he was a parslemouth.
Another was like when he first saw Dumbledore's pensive and Snape's thoughts he had a strange desire and reach out to have a look. He wanted to know what the large window of red was it some how seemed different, it looked welcoming and after all it was only a dream, how could anything unreal in his mind be a danger.
Feeling his mind he stretched out his invisible hand and tried to touch it. As his mind got closer he could feel heat conducting off, it was very warm but still Harry persisted and forced his hand to touch this memory closer and closer Harry could feel everything about him now concentrating on purely touching that red square, Until...
"Aarrrr!" He cried out loudly thinking no-one would here him as it burnt him badly all up the arm and falling forward he opening his eyes he saw his face had fallen forward on top the floor.
"Harry are you okay?" Ginny asked urgently trying to roll Harry over on to his shirt less back. Harry looked at his hand, it still felt extremely hot but it seamed to be ok. Ron came rushing in with George a moment later having heard Harry shout and wanting to know what had happened.
"Yes I think I'm okay." Harry replied a moment later sitting him self up then finally standing up.
"What happened what were you doing James?"
"Err meditating but I'm not sure, never done that before." Harry puffed feeling extremely hot and now aware he was down to his trousers again.
He felt fine now it was only a moment of pain and yet there faces were so livid with fear he thought Ron really reminded him of Mrs Weasley.
"What were you doing too make you cry out like that?" Ron asked again.
"Err well it sounds silly, I suppose I should of known better, I stuck me hand in a burning red block of something or other and burnt me self. Okay now though, didn't think it would hurt. Sorry."
"You silly boy, you got us all worried, its nearly eight thirty and you haven't come to bed yet?"
"You sleep in the same bed?" Ron asked, finally calmed down. Harry walked quiet balanced to George and started to give her a big hug.
"You worried about me. There's no need I was daft enough to think it wouldn't hurt. Now come back to bed for a bit."
Harry said hugging and walking George out the room leaving Ron to go have a bath and Ginny to carry on drying her hair.
"I was worried you'd done something stupid and hurt yourself and then you were just sort of lying there." George was all worked up so Harry pulled her back into bed and started to try and calm her down.
"No need to worry about me it was nothing now let me help you take this annoying top off."
She giggled and let him kiss all over her neck softly until he decided they'd left Ron and Ginny to there own devices for long enough, plus there was always the fact that he was staving and felt he would faint soon if he didn't eat a huge breakfast.
Ron and Ginny were already sat eating with George when Harry came down properly dressed and extremely hungry.
"You okay now, you had us worried for a bit there." Ron asked buttering some more toast.
"Err, sorry about that, daft thing to do really, probably have another go to night though. Think I might be a bit more careful though next time, so I don't worry you all again. What do you want to do today?" He added more brightly.
"Well aren't you going to try your new contacts on today? And can we come laugh at you working out?" George asked with Ginny giggling next to her.
"Hay you, stop laughing at me."
"Sorry it's not that it's funny just." But Harry and Ron never found out because the pair of em had burst it to fits of giggles.
"Oh shut up Ginny." Ron said hotly not really liking his little sister been as close with his friends like he was.
"Err you think we should leave Ron?" Harry asked thinking the girls weren't likely to calm down any time soon.
"Sure."
"No don't go we're sorry. I...' She stopped to giggle a bit more with Ginny before finishing. 'Promise not to laugh much now.' George said having a drink and drying tears of laughter from her eyes.
'Well we could just have some fun then go and meet Neville and you mum and dad tomorrow in town." She finished as Ginny tried to stop giggling with great difficulty having almost fallen off her chair.
Ron was sat on his bed the following morning packing up his stuff with Harry randomly throwing things at him and complaining about the girls always giggling at him when he got too hot after all in was summer he couldn't help it.
"I can't understand it mate might be better off asking Hermione. But then again she's a bit weird, got another letter last night, with her asking about what we were up to."
"I don't know, fink I might ask her myself later. Don't worry I won't say owt." He added trying not scratch his eyes it was taking a bit of getting use to but it wasn't time to give up yet.
"All right but I'll be keeping out the way when you do and you best be gentle Hermione gets a bit shifty sometimes doesn't she."
"You getting protective of Hermione from me Ron, tell me what is it about her?"
"No and yes. She's gets a bit stropy at times and I don't want you two falling out before we even get to Hogwarts, she's already mighty pissed at you for having three house elves doing stuff for you. Reckons your a lazy sod and should do stuff for you self but then sez how brilliant that you got somewhere to live." Harry accepted this but was very conscious of the back of Ron's neck that was quickly turning to a lovely shade of red.
"I think Neville wants to talk to me about teaching stuff again."
"Yes he does." They joined the girls in the living room and were soon walking out in to the sunshine, Harry in his arm-less T-shirt again and muggle sports hat on to meet Neville.
It wasn't long before Harry, Neville, Ron, Ginny and George were sat outside having a Sunday with Hermione and her mum. Harry was glad to see George getting on much better with Hermione now as they were sat talking to her mum with Ginny about goodness knows what.
Ron seemed pleased as well that Hermione was looking much happier than he hoped she would be, sat in the sun with her brown freckled skin and little sun top and cardian on but as Neville pointed out quietly in Harry's ear.
"Ron's looking at Hermione a lot these days."
"He's worried about her, apparently he reckons she's not been herself."
"None of us have but she looks far prettier than I remember."
"Hermione has always been pretty besides your one to talk, got right upset when she wouldn't come to the ball with you."
Harry laughed as Neville hit him on the shoulder. He was much taller than he used to be, Harry noticed he'd lost all his stomach and yet seemed to eat more even his manner had altered a lot he seemed a lot less forgetful and had much more confidence.
It was a nice change Harry thought to see Neville talking happily in the sun and looking so more grown up, they all did Harry thought, you would never of guessed Ginny and George were several years apart in age by the way they were talking to each other.
Hermione and her mum left soon to go book shopping but were quickly followed by Ron and a knowing look off Neville, but yet more giggles from George and Ginny, who were wandering over to look at owls leaving Neville and Harry to admire some Quidditch robes in a window.
It wasn't soon after when Harry's worse fears were confirmed, Malfoy, Crabb and Goyle were standing behind them.
"Good afternoon Malfoy, what a sunny day it is to kick your head in." Harry explained before even turning around, Neville was shocked but didn't seem that frightened of Malfoy at all, in fact he was better composed than Harry had ever seen him.
"Well Potter nice to see you've stopped sulking around in the shadows with weirdoes, but then your company has always been a bit limited." He spat looking at Neville who was now considerably bigger than Draco but still no match in size for Crabb and Goyle.
"My company do just fine I think, shame about yours though." Harry added looking at Crabb and Goyles confused faces.
Neville laughed quiet openly at them looking at Harry for support in what ever he was planning to do. But Malfoy was mighty pissed that Longbottom the butt of most his jokes had dared to laugh at him after all these years.
"What Potter?" Malfoy paused he was struggling to find a cruel comment. Making Neville laugh a bit more.
"What's the matter Draco loosing you touch?' He leaned in closely so Draco could only here his whisper. 'I notice none of you are shopping here with your fathers, I bet he's crying for his mummy right now for the nasty men to stop." Harry stood up and led Neville into the shop to have a closer look at an England shirt on display.
"I hope you know what your doing there Harry wouldn't want you to give him an arse kicking before he deserves it. My Gran wants me to behave this year and do me studies not go pissing around with me friends and forgetting my exams."
"Don't worry Neville you did your Gran proud with what you were pissing around with me last year. None of us have done to well in our results but I think we might scrape through better this year than last."
"No I've never seen her like this, she's always angry at me, says I've changed and not for the better, reckons I'm an embarrassment to the family. Was bad enough when we were fruit picking and I finally snapped and told her what had happened to my dad's wand."
"Oh. I didn't realise it was like that for you. I knew it would be hard like for me but I thought your family were okay. You have changed Neville, you got much more confidence I mean look what just happened with Malfoy, he couldn't think of owt to say."
"I bet she's really angry when I get home, we were arguing and I just told her to bog off I was going to see you and well. She don't half sound like a Banshee when she angry."
"Don't worry about it Neville things will be okay, arguments will stop when you go back to Hogwarts, just don't open any more howlers in the Great Hall and it will all die down. Or at least I think it will. Ron's bin having trouble with his mum and dad over OWLs results and NEWTs, I got me self beat up and everything by the Dursley's only leaves Hermione and Ron reckons she's been acting weird all summer."
"Funny old lot aren't we."
"Hmm."
Malfoy as Harry suspected when they left Quality Quidditch Supply's had sulked off to look at some books. Harry was watching him closely Crabb and Goyle seemed to be left outside but Harry couldn't see Draco.
"Err, Nev me mate, fancy backing Malfoy into a corner and frighten him for some pre school fun? Possibly even threaten him with one of Hagrid's books?"
"Of course I do Harry after you."
He replied as they started to walk to where Draco had last been seen. Having no trouble getting past Crabb and Goyle they were soon scouring the book shelves for a sign of Malfoy.
"You know you're a very pretty lady, what's your name, I'm sure you aren't from Hogwarts I would of noticed a beauty like you walking around the place."
Draco was laying it on a bit thick Harry thought but moved a book to see who the girl was.
"That's George what's he chatting up my girl for?" Harry was about to leap out but Neville's strong arm had stopped him.
"Wait lets try and have some fun he's got his back to us so try and get George's attention and we can wind him up."
"Okay but we have to move for that." Harry followed the book case down a bit and had soon winked at George through a gap, who was about to give Malfoy the brush off but now let him try and charm her unsuccessful for a bit longer.
"No I'm not a Hogwarts student. I went to Beauxbatons. Some of our pupils visited two years ago for the Tri-wizard Tournament."
"Yes I remember did you come to, there were a lot of pretty girls but I don't remember any as beautiful as you."
Harry and Neville were now making vomiting gestures through the shelves making George smile, Draco apparently thought this was just her way of showing an interest in him.
"No I wasn't there my year didn't go because we were just a bit to young for your Ministry's rules. It was a shame, I herd that the Hogwarts students were very good."
"I wasn't old enough either otherwise I bet I could of won it easily." Neville and Harry were now making swooning actions behind Malfoy making George almost laugh.
"I bet you would of done okay if you had got in. Been a Malfoy and everything, I heard that was a very proud wizarding family." Draco took this as a major compliment and swelled with pride.
"Yes it is over here, what's your family name?"
"Ah well my family were an honourable wizarding family at least my dad was anyway. But he never seemed to brag, he had pride of course but sometimes there's no need to ram it down people's thoughts how good he was people just already knew at the sight of him."
Draco was watching her lips intensively and getting quiet excited as George clearly noticed but Harry couldn't help it, he and Neville were still swooning away and pretending to announce their un-dying love for each other, in the back ground.
Neville even got down on one knee and pretended to purpose to Harry who was in fits of silent laughter as he pretended to be all taken about and flushed over such a romantic gesture.
"You're a very powerful wizard from what I've heard, particularly you family name, what subjects are you doing, I bet one's potions. I heard that the teacher there was very stick and only let the best students into his class but even then he made them take another entry exam."
"Yes I am, and Professor Snape is he won't let anyone in unless they get over one hundred percent and even then the exam is the hardest of them all. But I walked it easily. What are you doing here?"
"I'm hear with some friends, my family just moved to the old wizarding part of London. I fancied coming to Diagon Ally for some money."
At the sound of money Draco's eyes lit up even more if it was possible and he seemed to be shifting from side to side slightly like he had ants in his pants.
"Well us old proper wizarding family's don't really have to worry about that now do we. What family are you from as we probably are distant relatives?"
"No we don't my father was an honourable Black."
"Oh really, my mother has cousins that are from that family. Told you we would be family but not to closely related, luckily." Suddenly Neville was whispering in Harry's ear.
"Your girl's a Black, you sure she's okay."
"She's Sirius's daughter, but he never knew she existed it seams, now get back to swooning with me." Neville nodded and let Harry purpose once more again with extra swoons.
"What, you don't want to be related to me Draco?" George pretended to be hurt with a cheeky grin more aimed at Harry and Neville than Draco.
"Yes and no. Yes because you are a obviously a pure blood like me and we have to stick together and No because.."
He had started to lean in close to George apparently wanting to kiss her but Harry had already started to stride over to them like he hadn't heard any of it making Malfoy jump and move out the way.
"You look different Potter, what you doing here anyway?" He asked but was merely ignored by Harry who was pretending not to here him.
"Oh there you are, I've been looking for you." Harry said coming to hug George deliberately touching her arse in front of Malfoy and winking over her shoulder.
"I see you know Potter then." Malfoy commented as Harry stood behind her still clearly holding her arse and grinning vividly at Malfoy's obscure face.
"Oh yes he's been showing me around London and introducing me to people."
"I think it's time we left." Harry explained.
"Okay then, it's nice to meet you Malfoy, probably see you again some time." And she started to leave.
Noticing Draco was clearly still checking her arse out Harry made a groping gesture and a face of more than just approval to Malfoy before he had actually left the shop.
Malfoy was furious particularly when he saw Harry kissing her in a corner later that afternoon which was purely for effect much to George's slight annoyance.
But nothing and Harry was sure about this, nothing could be more pleasurable when he and his two muscle bound cronies pasted Harry, the Weasley's, Neville, George and Hermione and her family to hordes of laughter that actually made the Weasley twins fall off onto the floor and hit the ground because the laughing was just too much.
Crabb and Goyle clearly didn't understand and walked past Malfoy quicker with long strides making him have to almost run to catch them up.
Harry and George said good bye to the Weasley's, the Grangers and Neville and were soon eating dinner back at Black house.
Well please read and review, I particularly want to know what you think to my Neville.
Thanks for the reviews some of you have already sent I'm very grateful for all your comments.
Take the chapter tittle however you wish too but please review.
I'm a bit mad I put sixteen chapters up over two days so these next ones will probably go up much slower sorry but my fingers hurt and I've gone a bit pasty.
Annoyed at the girls constant giggling Harry and Ron sent off there forms (Ron having to convince his dad to sign it and Harry just plonking his own name on the Signature line much to Ron's annoyance!)

Neville even got down on one knee and pretended to purpose to Harry who was in fits of silent laughter as he pretended to be all taken about and flushed over such a romantic gesture.
"You're a very powerful wizard from what I've heard, particularly you family name, what subjects are you doing, I bet one's potions. I heard that the teacher there was very stick and only let the best students into his class but even then he made them take another entry exam."
"Yes I am, and Professor Snape is he won't let anyone in unless they get over one hundred percent and even then the exam is the hardest of them all. But I walked it easily. What are you doing here?"
"I'm hear with some friends, my family just moved to the old wizarding part of London. I fancied coming to Diagon Ally for some money."
At the sound of money Draco's eyes lit up even more if it was possible and he seemed to be shifting from side to side slightly like he had ants in his pants.
"Well us old proper wizarding family's don't really have to worry about that now do we. What family are you from as we probably are distant relatives?"
"No we don't my father was an honourable Black."
"Oh really, my mother has cousins that are from that family. Told you we would be family but not to closely related, luckily." Suddenly Neville was whispering in Harry's ear.
"Your girl's a Black, you sure she's okay."
"She's Sirius's daughter, but he never knew she existed it seams, now get back to swooning with me." Neville nodded and let Harry purpose once more again with extra swoons.
"What, you don't want to be related to me Draco?" George pretended to be hurt with a cheeky grin more aimed at Harry and Neville than Draco.
"Yes and no. Yes because you are a obviously a pure blood like me and we have to stick together and No because.."
He had started to lean in close to George apparently wanting to kiss her but Harry had already started to stride over to them like he hadn't heard any of it making Malfoy jump and move out the way.
"You look different Potter, what you doing here anyway?" He asked but was merely ignored by Harry who was pretending not to here him.
"Oh there you are, I've been looking for you." Harry said coming to hug George deliberately touching her arse in front of Malfoy and winking over her shoulder.
"I see you know Potter then." Malfoy commented as Harry stood behind her still clearly holding her arse and grinning vividly at Malfoy's obscure face.
"Oh yes he's been showing me around London and introducing me to people."
"I think it's time we left." Harry explained.
"Okay then, it's nice to meet you Malfoy, probably see you again some time." And she started to leave.
Noticing Draco was clearly still checking her arse out Harry made a groping gesture and a face of more than just approval to Malfoy before he had actually left the shop.
Malfoy was furious particularly when he saw Harry kissing her in a corner later that afternoon which was purely for effect much to George's slight annoyance.
But nothing and Harry was sure about this, nothing could be more pleasurable when he and his two muscle bound cronies pasted Harry, the Weasley's, Neville, George and Hermione and her family to hordes of laughter that actually made the Weasley twins fall off onto the floor and hit the ground because the laughing was just too much.
Crabb and Goyle clearly didn't understand and walked past Malfoy quicker with long strides making him have to almost run to catch them up.
Harry and George said good bye to the Weasley's, the Grangers and Neville and were soon eating dinner back at Black house.
Well please read and review, I particularly want to know what you think to my Neville.
Thanks for the reviews some of you have already sent I'm very grateful for all your comments.
