Well this chapter goes into a little more of Madison's history. I hope everyone will enjoy it. R&R!

Harry recieved Ron's response a couple of days later and was glad to hear that the Weasley's would love to have him and Madison for the remainder of the summer. He was also pleased to find out that Hermione would be joining them. He could hardly contain his excitement and the aspect of Madison meeting his favorite people in the world, he'd never packed so fast in his life. Mr. Weasley would be arriving at Madison's by Floo Network the next night, he was meant to meet Madison's aunt and uncle before their trip. They were slightly leary of Madison's departure but trusted Harry to make sure she would be alright and return home before the term started. Harry tried to keep the end of the summer out of his head. That's when Madison would have to leave and he wasn't prepared to think of that right now. Once he was finished packing, Madison helped him take all of his belongings too her place, as he would be staying with her that night. He told his aunt and uncle that he would be going to Ron's for the rest of the summer, they didn't care.

The next day was spent finishing up Madison's packing and waiting anxiously for six o'clock to come. Five minutes past, there was a great boom and Mr. Weasley stepped out of the flames smiling brightly.

" Harry, it's so great to see you again. " he shook Harry's hand warmly. " And this must be Madison. " he took Madison's hand and gave a friendly kiss to the back of it. " Hello Mr. Weasley. " Harry looked to Madison's aunt and uncle. " This is Karen and Tom Ainsley. Madison's aunt and uncle. "

Mr. Weasley gave them a warm hello and sat down with the adults to assure the Ainsley's of any doubts. Harry and Madison lingered by the doorway, growing slightly impatient. When finally Karen and Tom were feeling better about the trip, Mr Weasley handed the two teens a bit of Floo Powder.

" You know the routine. " he said.

Without further ado, Harry stepped into the fire and was gone within an instant, followed soon after by Madison. Harry reached the Burrow and stepped out of the fire and into a bone crushing hug from Mrs. Weasley.

" Oh Harry, " she exclaimed. " I was so hoping that you'd want to come stay with us. "

" Thanks, Mrs. Weasley. " Harry choked out. He looked to Madison who had just stepped out of the fire when Mrs. Weasley released him. " Mrs. Weasley this is my girlfriend, Madison. "

Mrs. Weasley smiled and shook Madison's hand. " It's so nice to meet you, dear. You're just as lovely as Harry described.

" Thank you. It's wonderful to meet you finally. " Madison said, blushing slightly.

" Well come on you two, everyone is dying to see you. Even Bill and Charlie are home. " She said brightly and scooted the two into the kitchen.

Sure enough six red-headed faces looked to them as they entered the kitchen, all shouting greetings to Harry and rushing towards the two. Harry smiled brightly, a warm feeling coming over him.

" Everyone," he said, getting their attention. " This is Madison Chaney. Madison, this is Bill, Charlie, Fred, George, Ginny and Ron. " he pointed out each person.

Madison couldn't help but smile. " I'm so happy to meet you all. Harry's told me so much about you. "

" Ah Harry, you might not want to let her out of your sight. " Fred joked.

" Yeah, we might try to charm her a little too much. " George cut in.

Harry and Madison laughed, while Mrs. Weasley gave the twins a hard look. There was excited jabber amongst the siblings and Ron finally stepped forward.

" Harry mate, good to see you. "

" Thanks for letting us come. " He shook his best friend's hand just as Mr. Weasley was entering the kitchen.

" When's Hermione going to be here. " Harry asked.

At the sound of her name, Ron blushed slightly. " Ah, tomorrow she should be here. "

Harry smirked. " Why are you blushing Ron? "

" Well you know...she and I have been...talking a lot lately. " Ron's face turned even redder.

Harry laughed, " That's great. "

" I can't wait to meet her, " Madison chimed in. " It'll be great to have two girls to talked too. "

Harry eyed Madison jokingly. " Just as long as it's not about us. " he joked.

" Never," Madison said sweetly.

Mrs. Weasley made them all a wonderful dinner, that night. Harry had the greatest sensation of being home and Madison was easily accepted and like by everyone. She spent much of the dinner in a long conversation with Charlie about his work with dragons in Romania, the conversation seeming to spark interest in Madison. After dinner, Ron and Harry settled into a game of Wizard's Chess and Madison joined Mrs. Weasley and Ginny into the living room for coffee. Even with Ron being distracted, he still managed to clobber Harry at the game.

" Jesus Ron. What's up with you. " Harry asked. " Is it Hermione? "

Ron was silent for a moment before nodding slightly. " A little I guess."

" What's the deal. No one's around so you can go into more detail now. " Harry coaxed.

Ron sat back in his chair with a heavy sigh. " Alright. We've been talking a lot lately over the past few weeks. I mean...talking about personal things. We had a huge blow out over her constant interaction with Viktor Krum and I let it slip that I was jealous. She didn't say much at first about it and then I guess it nagged her to the point where she broke the silence between us. She told me that there was nothing between her and Viktor and I had no reason to be jealous. So as the days went by I finally admitted that I liked her and that didn't seem to shock her at all. Now she's bouncing back and forth between us just staying friends and dating me. " he sighed heavily. " I don't know what to do about it. "

Harry nodded, not exactly knowing what to say. He was terrible at giving advice, even to his best friend. He thought about it for a few minutes before speaking.

" Honestly, I would talk to her about it. Tell her everything. I think it'd be great if you two got together. I really do. " he said.

" Thanks, mate. " Ron smiled and they went back to their game.

After a couple hours, Ron and Ginny helped to take Harry's and Madison's things into a spare bedroom. The two of them bade Ron and Ginny goodnight and got ready for bed. Once settled in, Madison curled up against Harry, a big smile on her face.

" Thank you for bringing me Harry. I love them all already. " she exclaimed, kissing his cheek.

" I'm glad for that. " Harry laughed softly. " They are wonderful people and you'll love Hermione too. Just be aware that she's a bit of a know it all. "

" That doesn't bother me in the slightest, " Madison replied.

They talked for a few more minutes before sleep took over both of them. They slept comfortable in eachother's arms.

Harry woke the next morning early and kissed Madison's forehead, causing it to wrinkle as she opened her eyes. They said goodmorning and made there way down to joing the Weasley's for breakfast. Hermione had already arrived and was busy helped Mrs. Weasley prepare breakfast.

" Hermione. " Harry called out, getting her attention.

" Hi Harry," she said brightly, dropping her task to give Harry a friendly hug. " I was hoping to see you before school. "

" Hermione, this is Madison. Madison, this is Hermione. " he made the usual introductions.

" It's nice to meet you. " Hermione held out a hand.

" And you. " Madison replied, shaking her hand.

Madison went off into the kitchen to help Hermione and Mrs. Weasley and Harry laughed as a rumple-haired Ron entered the dining room.

" Morning, " he said groggily.

" Morning. " Harry replied. " Hermione's already here. "

Ron's eyes grew large. " Already? Shit. " he muttered, and made his way back up the stairs.

Harry blinked and waited for Ron to come back down. When he did, he was dressed and his hair was brushed out.

" You're love sick, mate. " Harry laughed.

" Shut up. " Ron said grumpily.

Hermione and Madison came out a few minutes later and Hermione stopped, looking at Ron.

" Er...hi..." she said quietly.

" Hi. " Ron mumbled back.

" Had a nice summer so far? "

" Can't complain."

Harry and Madison looked back and forth between the two. The tension was obvious.

" Hermione, " Madison broke the awkward silence. " Could you finish explaining to me about Arithmancy? I was interested in it.

" Sure, " Hermione said quickly.

Madison smiled, and she and Hermione went out back before breakfast was done.

" Are you alright. " Madison asked.

" Fine. " Hermione answered. " Well no, not really. "

Madison nodded. " Is it Ron? I noticed last night that Ron was feeling a bit awkward when Harry was talking about you. "

" Is that a fact? " Hermione responded. " Well I guess it's just confusing trying to figure out what to do . I like Ron, a lot actually but I don't know if dating him would be the best thing. What if we broke up? We could never be friends agian. "

" Well that's not necessarily true. The only way you would not be able to be friends again is if you let it be that way. " Madison said. " I had the same problem with my ex-boyfriend. We were friends and I was so scared to date him. In the end, it turned out to be one of the smartest things I ever did. "

Hermione smiled. " So why did you break up? "

Madison sighed heavily. " He died, a couple of months before last term ended. "

" Oh I'm sorry. " Hermione said anxiously. " I didn't mean to upset you. "

" No no, it's not your fault. We were together for a long time and it tore me apart to lose him. It took me a long time to get over it and I probably wouldn't have unless I met Harry. Harry is a god-send to me. I love him a lot. "

Hermione smiled. " I can tell. I think you're perfect for Harry and I only just met you. You take care of him for me. Ya hear? "

" Gotcha! " Madison winked and the two girls laughed softly. She felt wonderful meeting everyone. It was nice to have friends again. After Erik had died, her so-called best friends had abandoned her, not wanting to be the next target by Death Eaters. Although Madison could hardly blame them, it didn't make things any easier. She had spent months by herself, trying to cope with finding out her terrible parent's past and the death of her first true love. She actually dreaded going back to school and being left to her own problems without even the support of her best friends. She knew that the Death Eater's who had killed Erik were still after her, she wasn't entirely sure why.

When Madison laid down that night next to Harry, thoughts of her past seeped into her mind and she found it difficult to sleep. The sudden worry of putting her love and new friends in danger began to trouble her. What if she had made a mistake. What if she was a direct link to Harry for the Death Eaters. She cursed to herself for her own stupidity, she knew she should have stayed away but her interest had overwhelmed her, and now it was love. If you really loved him, you'd stay away, a small voice said in the back of her mind. The thought kept Madison awake the entire night.
