"Ron, is that who I think..." Harry started. Ron spat angrily, Harry took that as a yes.
"Let's go see what the prat wants." Ron suggested with anger, they all agreed and followed, Ginny and Ron leading the way, they all made for the door.
"Ron, Ginny it's great-, what the hell is he doing here!"" He asked furiously, pointing to Harry. Harry stood there dumbfounded, not knowing what to say, Ron took care of that.
"He's part of our family your pompous little prick, more so then you in the past year!" Ron shouted. Harry started mumbling apologies and started walking to his trunk when he heard a cry of happiness, unfortunately, it was from Percy.
"He's even got a tattoo! What else could he do, I'm telling you he's no good! He's lead our entire family in to danger and now the little rebel has gotten a tattoo, bet he has a dark mark, some sacrifice his parents made, only to have him assist their murderer" Percy said, hoping his mother would finally see it his way.
"How dare you say that Percy? What the hell is your problem, just get the hell out of here." Ron said, his face glowing with rage, what happened next was not going to be pretty. Percy hit Ron, and sent him sprawling to the ground.
"I'm sorry I had to do that but you need to hear the-, oof" Ron had gotten back up and decked Percy in the jaw and was winding up for another, Mrs. Weasley wasn't sure how she was supposed to feel. She made an attempt to break it up but it was pointless, she knew when Ron was this upset it was hard to get him to calm down. Mean while Percy drew his wand on Ron and cast the body bind and him, despite the gasps from everyone else, he began to speak again.
"Now that I've returned order Harry, I believe it's best you leave me and my family alone, you have your own family, and if you weren't such a lousy ingrate maybe they would take you back, Merlin knows you don't deserve it. If your parents hadn't been such rebels they'd be fine-." That pushed it, before Harry could get his wand, Neville's was already drawn and casting the body binding hex.
"My parents were in the same situation as Harry's, don't you dare insult his parents like that ever again." Neville said looking at an angry person in the eyes, then he put the counter on the body bind for Ron, and Ron was more pissed off.
"Hey Perce, I have a tattoo too, so does Neville, are we all going to be come death eaters now for showing pride in our families, which you know nothing about?" Ron asked trying to stay quiet, mean while Percy gained use of his mouth.
"Look what he's done to our family mum, he's a bad influence on Ron, and he's obviously brain washed poor Neville, he's tearing our family apart don't you see?" He yelled.
"No Percy, that would be you, please leave." That was the first time Ginny spoke.
"Fine, I came here to forgive you but you obviously feel no remorse for fraternizing with a bunch of people who are in cahoots with you-know-who!" With that, and gaining back the use of his body, he apparated away.
"Mrs. Weasley I'm extremely sorry I hexed your son-," Neville started.
"And I'm sorry, this is my fault, I 'l just wait in my trunk until someone from the order picks me up" he said entering his trunk sadly.

"Mum, what are we going to do? We can't let Harry go back to those horrible people, his birthday is this month!" Ginny said, her eyes pleading with her mother.
"I can't believe him! He comes here to our house, hit me, and expects us to kick Harry out and apologize! If I could use my wand I would... would..." He trailed off while pacing the room, still not able to believe what had just happened.
"Mom are you ok?" Ron asked looking at his mom.
"I don't know what to do. How can I chose between my soon by blood and my son by love? How can I do it?" That visit took more of a toll on Mrs. Weasley that they had realized
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Harry paced back and forth in his library. He had never so infuriated and yet apologetic. He was glad Neville hexed the great prat, how could he ever call they're parents rebels, and say t was all his fault for the Dursleys treatment of him. He knew that Percy was Ron's brother and Harry was just a friend, he understood his place. He knew he couldn't be the reason for tearing apart the people he loved, he needed to leave. He knew he'd be getting picked up soon, so he decided to start reading one of his defense against darks book, from there, he went to his personal room of requirement to get a dueling target/dummy to try a new spell on. In the next hour and a half, he learned a basic piercing, slashing, and bludgeoning spell. After going through these spells 15 times perfectly each, he moved on the more advance yet simple versions of those three spells. He repeated these steps 3 more times to find out he'd been practicing for near four hours and it was passed lunch.
Just when he was working on the next level of the three spells, there was a knock.
"Harry?" asked a voice he knew well.
"Yea Gin?" he responded getting up from his studies.
"You don't think that any one in our family agrees with what Percy said do you? Ron's ready to kill him, I would willing to assist him, Bill and Charlie will be pissed, Fred and George will embarrass him to no end." She said with a smile, Harry returned the smile.
"I know Ginny but I don't want to split your family up, Percy is right about one thing, this is his family, not mine" Harry said.
"That's not true Harry! We all consider you family, just as much as we consider Percy, only more. You know the difference between you and Percy?" She asked.
'No..." Harry answered.
"Percy asked, no, told us to kick out some one in our family, you would never do that. Percy is an ass, we don't want you to leave because he was being himself. If you left, mum would be really upset Harry, she loves you as much as me or Ron, and at the moment, a little more than Percy." She snickered.
"What would you do if I left?" Harry asked wanting to know where she stood.
"I'd be sad, you know why?" she asked with a grin, Harry shook his head hesitantly.
"Because I wouldn't be able to do this." She said pulling him in for a deep kiss, then Ron stormed in.
"What the hell Ginny, I asked you to come talk to Harry, not bare his children!" Ron shouted still confused
"Ron I-, Harry started.
'Me and Harry are dating, so get used to this" she said in an annoyed tone, pulling Harry back to finish what they started. Harry looked out of the corner of his eye and saw Ron skulk off so he figured it'd be okay to join Ginny in the action. The kissed deepened after a bit and they collapsed on to the coach, with Ginny on top. Harry felt his hands go from her waist , down. To his relief she didn't get angry, she just giggle and began making her marks on his neck.
The next hour of his life was his favorite hour, because when they were done with all the kissing, which he didn't mind, she just laid on top of him and they felt comfort in each others embrace, they fell asleep that way. The hour after that was Harry's worst and most terrifying. He would have faced Voldemort with a regular stick as opposed to a wand compared to what happened.
When Harry awoke, he found a very uncomfortable Mr. Weasley sitting in a chair across from the
couch, Harry prodded Ginny then he realized that his hands were in the same place they'd been previously! When Ginny began to stir and noticed her father standing there, she shot up and then proceeded to land on Harry, which caused Harry much discomfort. Mr. Weasley said nothing at first.
"Harry, good to hear you decided to stay but now that this situation has risen, I think the three of u need to have a certain talk, Harry, I know this is uncomfortable for you, but it's necessary. You see, when a man loves a woman..." They groaned immensely, Harry could have cried.
"Just kidding. Wotcher Harry, Ginny!" Tonks laughed going back to her pink spiky hair and original face.
"Thank you Merlin!" Harry said dropping to his knees raising his head and hands to the sky Both girls laughed quite a bit at this.
"But I was asked to come and talk to you two, your parents wee far to mortified to talk about it. It's nothing on you Harry, they're ecstatic about you two dating, but then they realized they were around your age when they started dating and well, you can't just conjure kids out of thin air" Tonks said. Ginny and Harry pondered what she said, when they figured it out, they were repulsed.
"All I've been asked to do is come down here, tell you to be responsible and to give you this list of contraceptive spells, and a little color commentary, number 2,5 and 8 are the only ones that don't ruin it, there are also potions you can make that take away any side effects or feeling, the ingredients are simple. If it wasn't for the way it was used, you would have learned it in your first year. Night kids." Tonks said with a wink and went back up the marble stair case.
"We started dating and two ours later mum expects me to make her some grand children, the mind on that woman" Ginny said with a shiver. For the next hour, they just laid b the fire settled in each other's arms and watched the flames flicker. Just then Hermione walked in.
"Dinners ready you two, hurry up" and they were they heard Hermione mutter, 'they're like friggin rabbits'. They both gave a light-appreciating bout of laughter before heading up the stairs hand in hand.
"Harry, it seems you have a few things remaining at the Dursleys but they refuse to let us in to get them, they said no 'freak would be allowed unless it was their freak of a nephew' was to come collect it all. Bloody idiots if you ask me." Tonks said in a mater-of-fact tone.
"All right, I'll go over tomorrow morning, you guys want to come?" Harry asked his friends, he received a nod from everyone.
"How will we go Mrs. Weasley?" Hermione asked.
"We've had a port-key created, it will take you there at 11:30 back 12, that's enough time right Harry?" Mrs. Weasley asked. Harry nodded. For the rest of the night there was no mention of Harry and Ginny or any thing about Percy.
Just as they had finished a pleasant meal, Dumbledore appeared with a request to speak with Harry for a moment. Reluctantly, Harry followed, looking back towards Ginny who gave him a comforting wink and mouthed the words 'later' Harry nodded dramatically.
"Harry, may I we speak in your trunk, I'd like to see it." Dumbledore said with the usual, to Harry almost annoying twinkle in his eye. Harry nodded and led him to his library which he considered his study.
"Do you know why I came Harry?" Dumbledore asked. Harry nodded.
"What you did the other day was dangerous, you could have been killed. Why did you not just ask one of the members of the order to run the errands for you are ask one to accompany you?" Dumbledore asked.
"Because sir, I didn't know what I wanted to get." Harry shortly.
"Then why did you feel the need to deceive us?" the old man asked patiently.
"I did it because I'm tired of you running my life, you are not my father, or any other relation to me, you are my teacher, I'm going to live my life how I want to, you don't get to decide what I do anymore. Sir." Harry said simply, with no anger in his voice.
"Harry, you are damning thousands of people by not working on what you need to, such as your studying out side of school." He said.
"Sir, do you know what I bought in Diagon Alley yesterday?" Harry asked knowing he didn't.
"I spent almost 90,000 galleons on books, and I gave the Weasley's a large some of money. I also bought magical lenses so I can recognize anyone with a dark mark, see much further away then anyone could with out telescopes or binoculars or omnioculars. I did this all to prepare to fight Voldemort. I don't need you to be my life's dictator. I know what's at stake, do you expect me to just blow that off so I can do what I want before Voldemort kills everyone I love. You think those books over there are sprawled out next to a torn up target are for show?" Harry asked wanting a damn good answer.
"Harry, I just feel that your studying would be more effective under my-," Dumbledore was cut off.
"Under your what? Dictatorship? Rule? "Harry said, starting to pace.
"Harry, if you fully believe that you'll be better off studying with out my aid, I shall leave you to it, but do not forget your occlumency." With that and a loud rack, he disappeared. Before going back upstairs, Harry took out his anger on the dummy sending it flying across the room. Then after being fully calm, he went on upstairs to join everyone.
The rest of the night was rather uneventful, until an owl pecked out the window. When they let it in, it dropped a letter in each Ron, Hermione, Ginny, and Harry's lap. Ginny was the first to open hers.
"I'm a prefect!" She squealed happily Then Hermione opened hers.
"I got 12 OWL's! 10 were O's!" She shouted. Then Harry.

"Well Harry... How'd you do?" Hermione asked, dying to compare scores. Harry smiled and gave her the list.
"See for yourself." He laughed as Ginny and Mrs. Weasley ran over to read the score over Hermione.
"Harry, that's incredible!" The highest score they've marked is quite an achievement." Mrs. Weasley complimented.
"Harry, you got a T in History! "Hermione shouted, obviously appalled. By the end of the night they'd discovered Ron received 7 OWL's including an O in DADA, and after a few hours of comparing scores, being destroyed in chess at the hands of Ron, and grabbing their brooms and flying around Harry's trunk, they were exhausted and went to sleep. After Harry and Ginny made it known they would be sleeping in the trunk Ron decided it be best that he slept there too. He didn't mind that they were dating, he was glad it was Harry and no that prat Dean, but he didn't much like the idea of them being the only two people in a sound proof trunk with a bed. In turn, Hermione and Neville decided to follow.
"Harry, Harry, wake up ya prat we have to leave in an hour and mum said you can't leave with out breakfast" Ron said tugging at Harry's arm. Much to Harry's annoyance, he knew Ron was right so he got up and searched for his glasses on the night stand, then stopped rigid and slapped himself on the forehead, still not used to wearing glasses, and after he had his shirt on he was ready to head up. "Little tired Harry?" Ginny teased him giving him a light punch in the shoulder.
"Yea, all that work on those spells yesterday made me tired." Harry said rubbing his eyes gently.
"Harry, doing work, during the summer? Preposterous! Check him for poly juice potion!" Neville said with mock look of concern. It was weird, Harry noticed that Neville had come in to his self since last semester. He had lightened up an had a better sense of humor, he was more confident then he was before, and he was much better at dueling, the way he fought two days ago, Harry hadn't realized just how different and better he had been. He was still Neville, just, different. Then Harry remembered something.
"Neville, how's your new wand?" Harry asked. The wand he'd been using, that belonged to his dad, had broken in the Department of Mysteries.
"It's great! Mr. Ollivander said he had just made the wand a few minutes before he sold it, he said it had a crystallized phoenix tear in it, and those are really rare!
"I thought it would cost a fortune, being so rare and all, but he said that all he wanted was 4 galleons for the wood it was made from, you think that's weird wait. He said that the person who gave him the tears had been quite generous, and he knew that the person who gave it to him would be happy to know that his first new wand was sold to me! Isn't that cool?" Neville asked.
The entire time he talked about the wand, his yes were wide as saucers. 'Mr. Ollivander was right' Harry thought. 'If one person could have a wand that good, it should be Neville' Harry nodded.
"Harry dear, it's almost time to go, eat your breakfast." Mrs. Weasley instructed. Harry smiled and did as he was told.
Everyone, took hold of the comb shaped port-key, "It's going off in 5-4-3-2-1" and with Ron's side commentary, they were pulled, Harry felt the usual sensation that he was not fond of, but as fast as it began, it stopped on the front lawn of the Dursley's.
"Back in to my own personal hell." Harry said glumly, Ginny grabbed his hand as if saying she'd be there. With Ginny there to give Harry confidence, he knocked once twice, and before he knocked a third time, Vernon Dursley almost tore the door of and shouted at Harry, and his friends to get inside and gather his stuff and get the hell out.
"Yes Uncle Vernon" Harry said with a sighed, rolling his eyes. They spent the next fifteen minutes just throwing his clothes into his old trunk.

"Sir, there is a large flock of death eaters appearing in a place called Little Whinging." The radar monitor exclaimed.
"How many?" Kingsley Shaklebolt asked with a level of concern in his voice.
"16, Sir" the man said alarmingly.
"Send all on call forces to that area and contact Albus Dumbledore" Kingsley said, shortly before apparating.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
They all began heading for the exit when they headed off by his uncle who forced him in to the kitchen.
"Let it be known, Potter" he spat, eyeing the clock.
"You nor any of your friends shall ever step with in miles of this house." He said again, eyeing the clock.
"I have no intention of doing so, and I highly doubt either of my feminine friends will be returning to date your fat pig of a son either." Harry said angrily heading for the door.
"Not yet ya don't!" He shouted, glancing at the clock quickly. Harry knew there was something up.
"What else do you want, I thought you'd be glad we're leaving, I'm going to take my friends around the street, show them the park, and I'll never be within one thousand miles of this hell hole!" He said standing up angrily Ginny was getting angry as well, the fat so-called 'uncle' of his was a real bastard.
"That should be fine." He said with a malicious grin, but before saying this he looked up at the clock once again.
"Does everyone have their wands?" Harry asked seconds after exiting the house.
"Never leaving mine at home since that day at Diagon alley" Neville said, as did Ron.
"Hermione, Gin, you both have you're wands?" They nodded, curious to why he was asking.
"Draw them, Voldemort's happy, and I have a bad feeling." Harry said vaguely; they knew well enough that he wouldn't explain more.
"Accoi port-key" they heard a shout from behind them, Harry felt the comb fly out of his hands towards the house, he spun around, and almost fell over from what he saw. Uncle Vernon and Dudley, both standing there with wands in hand, Dudley in some odd type of fur.
"What the hell!" Harry shouted in confusion.
"Yes indeed Harry, yes indeed." Was all Vernon said, and almost on cue, they were at least 15 cracks coming from behind Harry and the others almost simultaneously.
"You see Harry, I've been working for my Lord since the First War, and having you in my custody for these years has been bliss, I could have killed you at any time I wanted, but I felt I should just have my fun first, I wanted to deliver you to my Lord so he could do it personally." Vernon sneered with pleasure.
"That's not possible! Dudley goes to Smeltings!" Harry said, after over fifteen second silence.
"Did you see him go to Smeltings Harry old boy? No, he indeed went to a school far superior to your muck of a school that was named for a pigs bad complexion. My son attends the finest of school. Durmstrang of course." With the wave of his hand, the siege began, the two Dursley men apparated along side their companions who all strode forward slowly, sending the dark mark in to the air as they did. Harry drew his wand and dagger in one swift movement.
"Ginny, Hermione, run and get help, we'll hold them off until back up comes." Harry said forcefully.
"The hell we will." Ginny said fiercely, as did Hermione, with fewer words.
"Damn, didn't think that'd work, but be careful all of you, we just need o wait for the aurors to get here. Get your shield charms up." He said with a tone that meant that was final, no more talking. Harry cast the charm with the dagger in his opposite hand, and then a brief shield of fire appeared before him but subsided so quickly no one took notice.
"Ok, let's do this, bring it on you pansies." Ginny said with no sign of humor in her voice, with those words, the Second War erupted.
