Harry Potter and the Secrets Revealed
Authors Notes: Thanks to dishantpandya for your review, I am assuming that by OCs you mean other characters. In my story there is one new character that will be introduced, and though he will be important to the story the focus of the story will remain primarily on Harry and Ron and Hermione's adventures and experiences as it should. Also for general information for anyone that's interested, this story I am planning to be around 25-30 chapters, and hopefully exceed 60,000 words by the time it is finished. I myself prefer to read fics that are long so that I can get involved in a story more and watch the plot develop so I will do my best to make the story as lengthy and interesting as I can. Thanks for reading..
Chapter 2: Departure for the Burrow
Harry sat at his desk watching the sun rise through his window with a broad smile spreading across his face, which was unusual in this time of year. The summer was never and enjoyable time for Harry, because he had to spend his time in the summers with his Aunt Petunia, Uncle Vernon, and their extremely overweight whale of a son Dudley. The reason for the smile now plastered on Harry's face was that the night before he had received a letter from his best friend Ron Weasley saying that Dumbledore had given his permission for him to spend the remainder of his summer at the Burrow. There isn't any place in the world that Harry feels more at home than the Burrow, except perhaps Hogwarts, so he was quite excited to be spending the remainder of his summer there.
However there was another reason for Harry to be rather excited about going to the Burrow, not only is Ron there, and his other best friend Hermione, but Ginny Weasley will be there also. Over the course of the summer Harry had kept in close touch over the summer with Ginny who he had noticed over the last few years was growing into a beautiful young woman. When he began to think of spending time alone with Ginny though not only was he excited, but slightly nervous.
' What if she doesn't think of me the same way I do her' Harry wondered
' Is she only writing to me because she feels bad for me about what happened last school year with Sirius..'
Harry began pacing around his room and eventually stopped to pick up one of Ginny's letters and read it over for any clues it may have as to her true feelings.
Dearest Harry,
How has your summer been with those dreadful Dursley's? Not to bad I hope, but if they are giving you a hard enough time you could always slip them a few of Fred and George's inventions, I bet that might scare them a bit. Mom and Dad have been pestering Dumbledore since the beginning of the summer to let you come stay with us so I'm certain that he will have to give in soon, and I for one hope he doesn't spend too much time thinking it over because I can't wait to see you Harry! I bet that we'll be seeing each other very very soon anyway because who could put up with Mom ranting on and on at them about something for very long? Well Harry I hope that everything is going well and you'll be able to come stay with us soon! I'll be thinking of you until then.
Love Ginny
"She said she'll be thinking of me!" Harry said out loud in his excitement "and she signed it Love Ginny that must mean something"
The smile on Harry's face broadened even more as he thought about it, feeling happier than he had in a long time. He looked over at the clock and saw that it was now 10:45 and Mr. Weasley was suppose to be coming at 12:00 to pick him up.
" Well Hedwig I guess it's time we start packing, were going to the burrow in less than an hour and a half!" Harry said to his snowy white owl who's head was tucked underneath her wing while she was sleeping, blissfully unaware that she was even being spoken to.
Within 15 minutes Harry had all his possessions (which wasn't a lot thanks to the Dursleys) packed and ready to go. With an hour to go before Mr. Weasley was due to arrive Harry decided to go downstairs and tell the Dursleys that he was leaving to go to the Weasley's home for the rest of the summer. When he got downstairs he saw that the three Dursleys were all sitting in the living room watching a movie.
"Just to let you know Mr. Weasley will be coming to get me soon, and I'm going to be spending the rest of the summer at his house."
"Who is coming to my house?" Vernon asked with a slight look of terror on his face. "not that crackpot who blew up half the house last time he came is it!?"
" Yes that's the one who's coming, as I'm sure are a number of very dangerous friends of ours to protect me." Harry said attempting to frighten the Dursleys as much as he could for punishment for the last remark about Mr. Weasley
"I will not have any more of your kind in this house!" Vernon yelled giving Harry a venomous glare
"I'm afraid you may not have any choice in the matter Dursley." remarked a voice behind him
Vernon nearly jumped through the roof when he turned around to find none other than Mad Eye Moody staring at him, magical eye and all.
" We do not want any trouble Mr. Dursley" said Arthur Weasley who was the other man that had suddenly appeared in the room "we are just here to collect Harry and his things and then we'll be off."
Dudley nearly threw himself through the floor at the sight of the two wizards, remembering what happened last time there was a wizard other than Harry in his house. He was followed closely behind by Petunia and finally Vernon who appeared to be attempting to shield his wife and son from any harm that could possibly come there way.
"Do whatever you will but do it fast so you can get the bloody hell out of my house!" screamed Vernon
"Believe me Dursley, no one of us wants to be here any longer than we have to be, there mere presence of you and your family makes me want to keel over vomiting worse than if I'd drank a keg full of Firewisky" growled Moody
"Where are your things Harry? asked Mr. Weasley
"Just upstairs in my room, I'll go get them."
"I think we best all go get them, the smell in this room is putrid, I absolutely must get away from it" said Moody as he started up the stairs.
"Alastor and I will grab the trunk Harry, you take Hedwigs cage and head downstairs" Mr. Weasley said grabbing one side of the trunk "I think it would be best to move these without magic Alastor, these muggles are scared enough already"
Moody just grunted and reluctantly grabbed the other side of the trunk following Harry down the stairs
"Well Harry I had the fireplace set up to the floo network for the day again so you can head to the fireplace and we'll be gone"
"Mr. Weasley the Dursleys got rid of their fireplace after last time, they only have an electric one now which I'm sure wont work for floo travel" said Harry
"An electric fireplace, Really!?" exclaimed Mr. Weasley
"Arthur.." Moody once again growled
"All right all right.." said Mr. Weasley who transfigured a chair into a fireplace "Here you go Harry step on in and here take this" he said handing Harry the trunk and Hedwigs cage along with a handful of floo powder "you know what to do, we will see you shortly" said Mr. Weasley giving Harry a wink and a smile
Harry felt the very muscles in his face stretching as a wide grin spread across his face, he was going home..
He threw the handful of power into the fire and exclaimed "THE BURROW"
Now i know its rather slow start but bear with me things will start to pick up soon! Please read and Review, Thanks!
