Chapter 9
Author: egg-n-head
Summary: Harry is in a state of depression. Will a potion gone wrong and a whole new adventure bring him back to be the fun loving self he once was?
The gang left the shop with 5 extremely large and full to the top bags of prank material. With a last wave to the twins who stood in the doorway of their shop in admiration, they set off towards the nearest fireplace. Along the way people were avoiding walking to close to them, for any bag with the words Weasley's Wizard Wheezes on it meant trouble and it was a rule that you stay as far away as possible if not further to avoid not waking up with an extra head.
Ron was struggling with three bags as he had courageously insisted that since it would look to weird for Harry to hold a bag he would hold three to save the girls trouble. And of course he was rewarded by a quick peck on the cheek by Hermione.
They walked into the three broomsticks no time to stop for a quick butterbeer and used a handful of floo powder to return back to the Burrow.
They said quick 'Hello's' to Mrs Weasley and when straight up to Rons room. They locked the door and immediately set off to work on the masterpiece of a prank they were about to play tomorrow that would make Hogwarts history.
FOUR HOURS LATER
"it's done" said Ginny.
"its completely finished" said Hermione.
"its brilliant" said Ron.
"ITS ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!" yelled Harry and then all four of them burst out laughing and fell backwards onto the paper covered floor.
"now just a simple shrinking spell" said Hermione and with a swish of her wand the box full of pranks quietly shrunk from large to big to medium to small to tiny. Then hermione picked it up and put it in the corner of ron's suitcase under a Chudley Canons t-shirt.
Ginny's stomach let out a hug growl and while the others laughed she moaned: "I'm starving"
"it looks like I wont be able to go downstairs tonight...too much confusion" said harry
"Okay then, we'll bring you back some food" said Ron and then he grabbed Hermione and Ginny and raced out of the door and down the narrow staircase.
"Say I'm feel-"started Harry but the scrape of chairs from downstairs meant that they would not be able to hear him. "I guess they'll have to think of some other excuse to explain why I'm not there" and with that he flumped back onto Ron's bed and flicked through the new edition of 'SPORTS' magazine careful not to miss any foldouts.
DOWNSTAIRS
Ron, Ginny and Hermione were piling enormous amounts of food onto their plates and when Mr and Mrs Weasley weren't looking they snuck some into a brown paper bag Ginny had quickly got from her room on the way down.
"My, my you sure are hungry" exclaimed Mrs Weasley delicately biting into her roll. She always tried to eat politely to set a good example for her children (especially Fred and George) although it didn't work very often.
"yes, where are you putting it all?" queried Mr Weasley letting out a short 'HA'.
Ginny and Ron just smiled knowingly and continued eating while Hermione looked around nervously. She absolutely hated lying to grown-ups.
They quickly ate all they could and then excused themselves and bounded back upstairs trying to obscure the paper bag from view.
"I don't know what's got into them" muttered Mrs Weasley and she continued her meal.
IN RON'S ROOM
"Took you long enough" moaned Harry as the others walked into the room and Ginny passed the bag to him. He suddenly realised that the last thing he had eaten was an ice stick and that made him even more hungry.
While Harry ate the others revised their plan again for the next morning.
At 10:00 Mrs Weasley pounded on the door saying:
"Lights out dears or you'll never get up in the morning" and left.
"I agree" yawned Hermione. "Goodnight Harry, 'night Ron" she pecked Ron on the lips and gave Harry a short hug then left the room.
"Night Harry, Night Ron" said Ginny as she hugged both boys and followed Hermione.
Harry crawled into his own bed as did Ron and said goodnight then both boys fell straight to asleep dreaming the look on Draco's face tomorrow...
WOW! I actually did it! I actually updated. I am so so so so so so so so sorry that I haven't in ages I've just been away and so busy with everything. But I hope this chapter wasn't such a bummy although I think it was but I think I'll make next chappie the last so I can get started on my new Lily and James one.
Please review and I'll update in the next week I HOPE but no promises. Cos I have an eisteddfod on this weekend.
bye!
