CHAPTER 1 I HAVE NO LIFE
Harry stared at the ceiling. It had been two weeks since school ended and life sucked. Everything sucked, the sucked up world sucked. He had no one at all. He was utterly alone. He could do nothing either. He wasn't aloud to leave; it wasn't the Durlseys that were keeping in. He could laugh and turn them into a sock if they threatened him. It was Dumbledore who was telling him not to. He sucked too.
The only thing he had to do was read (surprisingly). He had already finished all his holiday homework. It was kind of sad, the lack of life he had in the summer.
A tap on the window interrupted his depressing thoughts. He opened the window. It was Hedwig with yet another letter. It was the 4th time this week that he had gotten a letter from someone and it was Monday. It was like they were afraid he would jump out of a window if he didn't get like a billion letters this summer. But it didn't really bug him attoo much, it was actually kind of funny. They were running out of things to talk about. One time Ron even put what he ate that day in one of his letters. This letter was from Hermione.
Dear Harry,
Hey how is your summer? Mine is fine. So what have you been up to. I'm just reading. I know your socked. I was starting my summer homework and watching some muggle tv. There is this one American show called Newly Weds and well, Jessica Simpson is and idiot. Nothing else going on.
Love Hermione.
Harry looked at the letter, he was a little confused about the Jessica Simpson thing though. He decided to write her back.
Dear Hermione,
I am board, I have no life, I have finished all the homework, (Shocked I know). All I have been doing is reading (I know I am full of surprises). Well have nothing to read so I am starring at the ceiling. Hope your having a nice summer. Mine sucks
Good luck with the Jessica Simpson thing,
Harry
Harry thought that this was a rude letter but he didn't care. He also knew this letter would only lead to more letters. He didn't care about that at all either, he needing something to do anyway.
The summer went by too slowly. By the time Harry was able to go to Ron's house it felt like it had been 3 years. When he got there Hermione was already there. He was glad that he wasn't staying at the order of the phoenix house. It just didn't feel right.
"Harry I am so happy to see you," Hermione said and jumped into his arms. Harry hugged her back. After her came the rest of the Weasley family. Of course that was only Mr. and Mrs. Weasley, Ginny, and Ron.
"Where are the twins?" Harry asked.
"Well actually working," Ginny said quickly, before anyone had a chance to think about also answering the question. "Their joke shop is doing very well."
"Wow, sounds great," Harry said, he was happy he had supported them.
"Yeah, even though they have more than enough money for anything they are still mooching off mom," Ron laughed.
"They still live here?" Harry said.
"Yeah, I think it would be way to dull with out them,"
"So what have you guys been up to?" Harry said.
"Well it was supposed to be a surprise, but Ron has been teaching me to be a chaser," Hermione said.
"So, much for waiting to tell him," Ron said rolling his eyes.
"That's great, but what I meant is that is going on with the Phoenix," Harry said.
"Well right now we are just trying to get more people to be aware of what may come," Mr. Weasley said.
"Oh," Harry said sadly. "Nothing on Voldemort."
"Nothing," said Mr. Weasley.
"Its ok Harry if anything was to happen, the Phoenix have it under control." Ginny said.
"Thanks Ginny but I have trouble believing that," Harry said.
"Well, you wouldn't believe what the house looks like now," Ron said randomly.
Harry looked at the house, he still hadn't walked in, but from the out side was exactly the same.
Ron led him to the front of the house threw what was now marble floor. The whole house was amazing, and beautiful, but it still had the homely charm it always had. Ron's room was twice as big as before and still had Quidditch posters all over it. Ron and Ginny had also gotten new brooms, two fire blots 8 millions. Apparently the twins had made much more than enough money.
"Wow, the house looks great," Harry said smiling, he'd like to see Malfoy's face when he found out that the Weasleys were rich.
"Yeah whey have been very generous," Hermione said.
"Hey there is a first time for every thing," Ron said. "But it was really cool of them to be so unstinting,"
"Wow that was a big word," Ginny joked. "Surprised you didn't choke on it."
"Oh shut up," Ron said as Hermione and Harry laughed. For the first time all summer, maybe all year Harry smiled a genuine smile. He felt comfortable. This was how the world should be, the Weasleys were rich, his friends were the same, and Ron and Ginny
"So when will we get to see this shop?" Harry asked.
"Well maybe tomorrow," Ron said.
"You should see it. Its painted bright neon yellow, orange, and red, but on the out side it looks ordinary," Ginny said.
"Yeah, and its always packed, more than Zonkos," Hermione said.
"Wait you've seen it?" Harry asked.
"Ummm yes," Hermione said quietly.
"You didn't just get here, did you?" Harry said in a hurt voice, "You've been here all summer."
"Well no I got here just a little before you," Hermione said feeling bad.
"How long ago?" Harry shot back.
"2 weeks," Hermione said. Harry's stomach twisted.
"Oh, well I hope you guys had fun," Harry put his stuff down in Ron's room.
"Umm Harry, we have a guest bedroom you could use," Ron said.
"Harry didn't say anything, he just waited for Ron to show him where it was.
The room was next to Ginny's room and across from the other guest room that had Hermione's stuff in it.
They all stood outside the door of his room feeling uncomfortable.
Hermione broke the silence. "Come on Harry there was nothing we could do about you being stuck with your horrible family and I am sorry that you couldn't come sooner. But that change that we couldn't come so...." She was going to say 'so just get over it' but she thought it wouldn't be wise.
Harry just glanced at her; he didn't want to deal with his so-called 'friends' now.
"We'll help you unpack," Ginny said as she looked at Hedwig.
"Its ok Ginny I think I can handle this," Harry said.
"Fine," said Ron. He did not feel like dealing with Harry's crap. All summer every letter had Harry complaining. Its not like Ron didn't feel anything when Sirius died. Of course he was not a close to him as Harry was but still. He also lost his brother. Percy wasn't dead but he was hated and basically gone. He was also losing his best friend. Of course he was not dead or gone, but he was changing he was becoming someone else. Someone Ron didn't like. "Come down when your done, if you want." Ron said angrily.
Harry watched them leave. Once again his life sucked.
Back down stairs:
"Come on Hermione he has changed. He is like this big heap of depression." Ron said.
"Well his god father has died, Ron," Hermione said.
"Yeah try to, some what, care about your friend," Ginny said. "You're being insensitive."
"Umm am I the only one who has noticed that all he does is complain," Ron said not believing what he was hearing.
"Oh just let him be angry for a little while," Ginny said. "Then talk to him and tell him he should move on."
"And get a life," Ron added.
"Why are you so mad about this?" Hermione questioned.
"Its just like he is acting like he is the only one who had a difficult year." Ron said.
"Well it was-" Hermione was interrupted.
"What are you talking about?" Harry asked even though he knew. "Nothing," Ron said jumping in.
"Dinners ready," said Mrs. Weasley.
Dinner started out weird and silent. Harry knew that Ron was annoyed with him. He decided to say something but all that he said was "Ketchup, can you pass the ketchup?"
"Umm Harry we are having salad," Hermione said.
"Oh, well I like some on the side you know," Harry said feeling incredibly stupid.
"Ok then," Hermione said as she got up to get the ketchup.
"So, what did you guys do for two weeks," Harry asked innocently.
"Just wish you were here," Ginny joked (sorta).
"Well we actually played a lot of Quidditch," Hermione said.
"So I am guessing Ron is showing you the works," Harry said trying to get Ron to talk.
"More like us showing him the works," Hermione laughed.
The table got quiet again. The table was lonely. Mr. and Mrs. Weasley didn't really know what to say to Harry. The twins were working late, and Ron was acting like he hated Harry.
They sat there in a silence that made Harry more annoyed. He sat there and dipped his salad in ketchup and pretended to like it. Eventually Harry decided to say something.
"So Hermione who exactly is Jessica Simpson?" Harry asked.
Hey thanks for reading this far you have made my happy ( but to make me really happy you could review thanks -2sweet4u
