I don't own anything but the plot. JK Rowling takes credit for everything, being the mastermind that she is. I'd appriciate reviews, though please not flames. This is my first lengthy fic, so I'm not too sure what I'm doing! lol. Thanks! --Amie (I appoligise for it being so short. They get a little bit longer as they go on. I'll post the next chapter after a few reviews!)
Falling For The Little Sister
Fixing The Roof
Harry had been sent to repair the roof by his Aunt Petunia. He wasn't at all pleased with this, although he did it anyway. He realized that if had any hopes of a dinner, her would have to finish the roof.
"Don't see why she can't just hire professionals." Harry mumbled to himself as he nailed a new shingle down in place of an old, rotted one.
"She just wants to make me miserable. It sure is working!"
Harry cried out in pain as he hit his thumb with the hammer. It was probably the tenth time that he had done that as a result of focusing his thoughts elsewhere.
He was sweaty, tired and sore. All he wanted to do was lie down in some shade with a bottle of ice cold water and fall asleep.
Harry sighed. There was no use wishing for things to happen. Nothing could change the fact that Harry still had to repair over half of the roof. Except perhaps a letter from on of his best friends requesting that he come and stay for the rest of the summer.
Harry almost cheered out loud as he read Ron's letter that the Weasley's owl had just delivered.
Hey Harry! How are you holding up with the muggles? Alright I hope. And if not, then this letter may come as a miracle to you. I (well, my whole family really) was wondering if you'd be able to stay with us for the rest of the holidays. Mum says that we can do whatever we want ("within reason Ronald!") so long as it isn't dangerous. That means we could play quidditch all day long if we wanted to! Well, I'd better end now. Mum's making me clean my room before Hermione gets here. (She's staying for the rest of the summer too) Go and ask your Aunt and Uncle about coming and then reply back with Errol. Goodbye!
--Ron Weasley
p.s. Ginny says hi.
p.p.s. Fred and George also say hi.
p.p.p.s. my whole bloody family says hi!!!!!
Harry laughed as he read the last bits of Ron's letter. He decided to finish the roof and then go and ask if he could go to Ron's. He figured it would help make them say he could go. So, he grabbed his hammer again, and began nailing more shingles down.
