Hello everyone. My name's Ph. and this is my story. I tried to revamp the other To Love a Dragon but the computer wouldn't let me. Anyways I don't own the characters except Brittany and Kat, their personalities and everything that doesn't sound like Harry Potter. Oh before I forget when I wrote this Brittany was in her fourth year and since Ginny is her friend then I'm sure you assume that they're in the same year. At first I didn't want to do that, but now it's ok. Brittany in now in her fifth year, Harry is in his sixth, so Sirius has already passed on (RIP) and Voldie's back (YaY! Voldie!). Sorry if I confused people. Well here goes.
'Hmm she looks somewhat familiar.'Ginny's POV
As I looked out the station wagon's window I got the urge to run towards the person. She was wearing a tight light blue tank top with what it looked like a very short jean skirt. Her long luxurious black hair was behind a bandanna that was also light blue. She also had sunglasses they were so dark you couldn't see her eyes, but I'm sure they are sexy. The girl sat on a porch in front of her house she had her shapely legs crossed and was tapping one foot in some beat that wasn't there and reading a book. Blimely, I almost ran into an older woman carrying a shopping bag. I mouthed sorry as she glared at me. Apparently that hot girl is related to the old lady because she looked up from the book she's reading and smiled. My heart skipped a beat. I think Ginny feels the same way.Ron's POV
Ginny's POV.
I squealed as she girl took off her dark sun glasses, "That's Brittany!" I looked up in time to see Ron and Harry exchange looks and turn back toward Brittany.
"And you were saying something about not carrying Brittany's baggage." I replied sarcastically. Ron didn't answer he was still watching Brittany take the bags of her, I'm guessing, mum and turning around to the door.
"I hope that drool comes out the seat Ronald!!" I said trying to get his attention that a car was behind us. I had a feeling that if she doesn't see us she won't come back out. Giving up on Ron, I got out the car and ran to her, "Brittany!" I shouted.
Brittany's POV
Who in the world is that? I looked around, is it just my imagination? Well, they are a lot of Brittanys out there. I started to turn toward the house when something caught my eye, a shadow. Normally that wouldn't freak me out but since the resent revelations every movement frightens me. My heart started to race when I heard a voice call my name again but this time the voice sounded familiar. I know that voice-"Ginny!" I turned around so fast that some of the groceries fell from the bag. Like I cared at the moment.
"Ginny! What took you so long? I was beginning to think you had forgotten about me! Is Kat with you?" I looked to the car expecting to see a pale, skinny girl jump out.
"No she's still getting ready; you know how long that takes her."
"Yeah, she is a bit of bathroom hog. Well come in Ginny we can talk, is Ron still not going to carry my things?" I joked.
"Me? Not take your bags, why; I wouldn't dare have a friend of my precious little sister have to carry her own bags! Hear allow me to take in your groceries." Ron said in a deeper voice than he had. Looking at Ginny, I smirked.
"Well Ron you did say something about having to carry Ginny's annoying friend's things; as for me, Britt, I would love to carry anything of yours." Harry replied taking the groceries before Ron could reach them.
"Hey Potter! I said I was carrying the groceries in so back off!" Ron replied reaching for the bag as he said that.
"No you didn't you said you would rather carry Viktor's broom before you would cater to one of your sister's little friends." Harry said dodging out the way of Ron's hands.
"Why you-"
"Boys, boys there're plenty of my things too go around." I said somewhat enjoying the way they were acting, I'm so bad.
"Here, Harry, take my book to the kitchen with the groceries and Ron you can go up my room and go get my owl's cage." Ron gave Harry a look that said her room, then disappeared into an old, yellow Victorian style home that seemed from along way off very intimidating, but close up warm and friendly.
"And where did you learn that from, young lady?" Angela asked putting her hands on her hips as they watched Harry disappear in the house behind Ron.
"Well, Mum, nowhere but I love that power." I giggled at my mum's face, she looked so amazed, 'Oh really Mum it's not like you don't do they same thing to Calvin' I thought but said "Sorry I promise I will not do it again." 'Yeah right, the first promise I break'. I smiled as she shook her head and went into the house.
Ginny's POV
What in the world has gotten into or out of Brittany? "Uh Britt are you ok?"
"Yeah why wouldn't I be?" Brittany asked as she flipped her hair and smiled when some guys passed us. They turned and checked her out.
"What in the-why are you were doing that? You never FLIPPED your hair before!" I said indignantly.
"What? Oh that well it was on my shoulder so I had to get it off." That was the lamest excuse I have ever heard!
"Right Britt I'm beginning to wonder about you you're starting to act like I don't know someone differ-"
"You mean because I'm not hanging around in the background and wearing baggy clothes I'm different? That Brittany died as soon as I realized that I didn't need to be that way and all I have to say is good riddance." Brittany said and crossed her arms suddenly angry.
I honestly was going to say more but then I realized that this new Brittany would just as soon be my enemy than my friend.
"Well you look great." I tried to smile. Brittany seemed to be satisfied she hooked her arm to mine and we walked into the house.
Voldemort's POV
The traitor has been dealt with. I hope this won't happen again, now on to more important things the other heir of Slytherin.
"Wormtail."
"Yes master? You called what can I do for you?" Wormtail groveled.
"A matter that has been on my mind since I returned to my body."
"What is it master?"
"None of your business Wormtail. All I ask is for you to follow a certain someone who can be of some help to us."
Author's POV
Brittany woke up feeling safe and happy it had been an exciting three weeks at the Burrow; sure Ginny was acting, in Brittany's mind, a little weird at least Ginny wasn't the only one she could hang out with. In fact she liked the attention she got from the teenage males in the house. Of course, in everyone else's opinion, she was changing very rapidly and with those kinds of changes something horrible is bound to happen... Brittany walked down the winding, uneven steps of the Burrow and was greeted with the familiar smells of breakfast.
"Good Morning" she looked around the table Ginny was there still looking tired in her cotton night gown; Kat was eating anything in a ninety mile radius; Ron talking to Fred and George about Quidditch, well before Brittany showed up; Molly was trying to make more food so everyone could eat because Kat was taking everyone's food; Arthur was away being a Minister of Magic; and Harry was in the corner of the living room watching the Weasley with something of envy on his face.
"Hey Britt how'd sleep?" George asked
"Well I hope" Fred added Brittany looked at those two suspiciously, 'They are too nice' she thought.
"Ok, what did you two want me to try?" She asked standing at the head of the table.
"Why would we want anything, Brittany? We just wanted to know how-you caught us, see we have a new prototype but we want to know the side effects of it on females. Ginny refused and Kat, well, she's too easy to get" Fred said looking at Kat who was slowly eating her weight through a plate of kippers.
"How can someone so skinny eat that much? Anyway the invention is ice cream that makes your breathe freeze and freezes other things as well we're calling it 'Freeze cream' so what'd you say?" He looked so hopeful Brittany didn't know what to say she started to open her mouth when she saw movement from the window out the corner of her eye.
Brittany's POV
I stopped breathing. Fred must've seen that because he asked me if I was ok. I waved at him "Yeah just I saw-never mind. I think I'll go outside for a while." I said.
Harry had just gone outside, I'm relieved, but why does he look so sad? I have to check it out. I saw him walk to the pond near the shed. He looked so broken.
"Harry?" He jerked as if he had been hit and slowly turned around his eyes were glassy he had been crying I wonder what happened, what exactly happened at the Ministry of Magic? He tried to smile but it looked more of a grimace.
"Harry" I said again, "are you alright you look a little distant." I looked at his face I guess I over stepped the bounds. "Ohm... I just got... sorry I was-"
"No its ok I'm doing ...well er you look good you know."
"What?"
"Well," he blushed, "that weight you lost and you look happier-"
"How in the world did you know what I looked like before?"
"Well I'm not blind or deaf I remember what happened during school." He left it at that.
"Yeah" was the only thing could say I looked around at the worn down shed, the fallen down brick wall, the pond with the algae almost covering the lake, anywhere but at Harry's eyes. I finally sat down at the wall that would probably crumble under my weight. Mr. Weasley has been so busy, though he has enough money he has no time to enjoy it. As I thought about this Harry followed me out to the wall just standing there looking across the fields. I wonder what he's thinking about.
"Watch ya doin'?"
"Kat! Are you sure there's food left in the house?" I jumped Kat is always joking.
My mentality has changed from: Who am I going to date? To will I be alive tomorrow? Facing with mortality is a scary thought. To think that I'll never be able to see the fog coming over the river , hear the birds sing from my window, feel the sun on my face, being the first one to taste my mom's brownies even though they burn the roof of my mouth, the aroma of stepping outside after a hard rain; nothing can replace life, nothing.
"Uh Brittany, are you ok?" Harry asked puzzled
"What-yeah I'm fine why?"
"You looked like-I don't know. I have to go. Bye." he looked down at the ground before walking away.
"Bye Harry." Kat and I said together
"You know Brittany you really scared me."
"When?"
"At the wall a few minutes ago. It's like you were off in your own little world, you know, it seemed like... I got cold for a minute there." Kat finished. She tried to play it off but I knew she wasn't telling me something.
Ginny's house was so fun everything was so relaxed and natural. I wish it would never end but good things do and the bad things stay.
