"It really couldn't have been all bad?"said Tonks.
"Well it really wasn't all bad, because they were afraid to give me chores. I was bored out of my mind though."
Tonks laughed at what he said.
"Well it's true. And oh, I got this too." He pulled out the necklace that he had just put into his 14 sizes too big jeans pocket. "This was my mum's. My aunt gave it to me. I don't know why she didn't give it to me before, but I like it."
Tonks took it from his hand and looked at it in depth. "Wow! That is gorgeous! I wonder if they still make them?"
"They don't." said Lupin."Your father had that specially made for your mother. That was one of his first gifts to her."
Harry had a questioning look on his face."Is there anything else about this that I should know about it?"
"Well, there isnt really anything else you should know. Do you know how your aunt got it?" Lupin asked.
"No clue. I am guessing it was left in the will." He felt alright talking abouthis parents death in front of Lupin and Tonks. He guessed that he was comfortable with Lupin because he was one of his fathers good friends.
"No, I read the will, and there was no mention of it in there. I guess-"
"Were here!!" Tonks yelled, making harry forget all about the conversation.
The car ride seemed very short indeed. It was almost ast though they were there in a matter of mintes. But then Harry thought that it probably was, knowing what the ministry cars can do.
He walked in the house with excitment, but then remembering that Sirius would not be there he soon went back to his gloomy self.
Harry took his trunk and carried it up to his and Ron's room, only to find Ron, Hermione and Ginny sitting on the bed.
"Harry!" Hermione screeched. And once again he was covered in the same flurry of thick brown hair.
"Hello Harry" said Ron holding out his hand. Harry took it and pulled Ron close to him and gave him a hug.
"Hi Harry." said Ginny in a voice that he remembered only too well. It was the same tone that she used with him in the seccond year.
"Hey. said Harry after an awkward silence and a odd look from Ron.
"How have you all been?"
There was a chorus of goods and greats, and them bursting into speeches on how they have been sitting around there doing nothing.
"We have been so bored mate. There has been nothing to do around here, seeing as Sirius got-OUCH!" Hermione had just stood on his foot.
"Well you seem to be enjoying yourselves. You guys got to stay here together and sit around. I got to sit around at the Dursleys and think about my godfathers death!" and with that Harry stomped out fo the room and slammed the door.
He didn't see any of the three until he decided it was time to go to bed. He went up the stairs and into his and Ron's room, where he was still sitting up.
As soon as he walked into the room Ron started going on with an apology.
"Listen, I'm really sorry. I shouldn't have been talking so freely and I do have some good news."
Harry nodded.
"Me and Hermione are going out now."
"Thats nice." and with that Harry got dressed and climbed into his bed.
He heard Ron's bed creaking, so he assumed that he had just lied down. How could Ron do that? Just go on talking like there was no tomorrow, but who knows, there might not be a tomorrow.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It turned out that there was a tomorrow, but Harry woke up not wanting to wake. There was someone rummaging around in the room. He opened his eyes.
"You!" he screamed as he jumped out of the bed towards the elf.
"Oh, its you again, it seems like young half-blood is mad at Kreacher."
He grabbed the elf and started shaking him.
The door slammed open and Mrs. Weasley walked in. "Harry! What do you think you're doing?!"
"Killing the thing that made Sirius die!"
"Harry let him go." said a quiet voice.
It was Albus Dumbledore, in all his glory, Harry knew that he should let go, because Dumbledore would have a good reason for him not to kill Kreacher.
"Oh and he lets him go, but he still blames Kreacher for killing master, when it was his fault." said the menacing elf.
Harry went to lung at him once again. Dumbledore held him back and the elf scurried out of the room mumbling.
"The elf is not yours, you do not have the right to get rid of him." He said in a wise voice.
Harry nodded, but was still raging inside.
Ron mumbled in his sleep. "Not corned beef, you know I don't like it."
He woke with a start."What are you all doing in my bedroom?"
"And he is alive" said Ginny from the doorway. "Usually isnt awake until about noon. " She turned to Harry and Mrs. Weasley. "Are you coming to breakfast? I am hungry."
"I'm coming." said Harry.
Ginny turned the same color that Ron did whenever he got a compliment.
They walked to the kitchen together leaving everyone else upstairs. They assumed that they didn't want to bother Harry seeing as he was just yelling, or they were just telling Ron off for usually wasting the day.
When they got to the kitchen there were two people there. One was Tonks, and the other was Mundungus.
"Harry. Ginny." said Tonks ending her statement with a yawn.
"Harry my boy."said Mundungus in such a voice that Harry knew he was up to something." Tonks here was just telling me about your chain and medalion that you aquired. Mind if I can see?"
"As long as you don't steal it." said Harry as he took it off his neck. He had put it on the night before when he was going to bed.
Ginny had a look of shock on her face as he was removing it. "I haven't seen something so gorgeous in my life!"
Mundungus took it and nodded. "I'll pay you 5 galleons for it."
"What?! I am not selling it, that was my mothers, and you will never have it." He snatched it from Mundungus and placed it back on his neck.
Ginny inturupted the silence. "I'll make breakfast, you can see if I am any good at cooking."
"Hahaha! Alright, I am sure you are. It's probably genetic."
