--
Wills and the tweebs gaped openmouthed at the space where Harry and Hermione had been spooning; neither of them was there anymore.
"Bloody hell I want one of those." He grinned at Ginny.
"Invisibility cloaks are really rare and he got that one from his Uncle. It was his father's originally. My guess is that it's a family heirloom. Although, if Mum finds out that they're using it for that, lets just say that she would take it in an instant." Ginny rolled her eyes then looked at the twins. "Calm down they're just hidden by a magic cloak."
The twins went back to their games.
"Now that brings me back." Alex chuckled in amusement.
"Well you know how our Hermione hates to make a show out of anything." Katherine smiled.
"So, uh, Ginny do your older brothers get in as much trouble as what they do in the books?" Wills decided that a change of subject was in order.
"Huh?" Ginny shook her head as if to clear it. "Um the two of them are probably ten times worse, but their franchise is thriving and that keeps them out of too much trouble."
"You're referring to, Weasley's Wizard Wheezes, their joke shop." Wills focused on the conversation and not on the empty space across from them. "You do realize that children around the world would do just about anything to try some of their creations."
"Really? Wow I never really thought of it that way." Ginny reached into her knapsack and pulled out a wrapped custard cream confection. She'd packed a shed-lode of treats and sweets to take with her on the trip. "If you feel brave enough I have all sorts of Wizarding candies and sweets some of which are my brother's creations."
Wills eyes danced with excitement. "Sure I'm game if you are. Just don't give me any Fever Fudge, Nosebleed Nougats, Puking Pastilles, or Ton Tongue Toffees."
Ginny set the Canary Cream back in her bag, dug around in it some more, finally producing a Headless hat. "She really didn't miss anything in those books did she?" Ginny seemed to be pouting.
"No I don't think she did." Wills grinned. "Is that what I think it is?"
"Put it on and see for yourself." Ginny handed him the hat.
"So this is gonna what make my head vanish?" Will stared at the hat that resembled the Sorting hat from Hogwarts.
"Something like that." Ginny smothered a giggle when the twins started screeching again.
"His head is gone! She took his head away!" They dropped their Game Boys and were now clinging to each other in terror. "Mummy! Daddy! Do something!"
"Honestly if you can't take seeing a little magic, you two are never going to make it at Hogwarts." Ginny reached up and took off Wills hat. "See its only magic even my brothers have to follow the no harm no foul law."
"That wasn't that bad." He grinned at his terrified cousins. "Got anything a little more entertaining?"
Ginny reached into her bag and pulled out a Canary Cream wrapped in a bright orange wrapper. "Oh I have lots more where that came from. Try this one. I hope you like yellow."
Wills unwrapped the confection, which looked like a custard cream, and then obediently popped it into his mouth. POOF! Wills was now a giant canary with bright yellow orange feathers.
"MUMMY!!" The twins raced over to their parents to hide behind them. "She made Wills into that!"
"Oh so that's what the Canary Cream one does." Katherine and Alex were calm as can be.
"He'll be back to normal in a moment, as you can see he's beginning to molt his feathers." Ginny giggled.
Sure enough, he was once again Wills, and he had to stand to brush away the remaining feathers. "I say that one would be a blast during all those boring royal functions!"
The twins now since this was all harmless raced over to try something themselves. "Can we try?"
"Well here's a new one that my brothers came up with they call them Wild Crackers. They took animal crackers and made it so when one is eaten the person sounds like the animal the cracker is shaped like." She handed Wills a small box of cookies.
Wills bit into a lion cracker. He was able to roar like a lion for a few seconds. "Now that one would be a smash at parties!"
The twins were currently two-pouffe canaries.
Ginny popped a Fizzing Whizbee into her mouth and in moments was levitating towards the cabin ceiling. "Now these are one of my favorites!"
"Wicked!" Bastion was clearly no longer afraid.
"Wizarding candy does all this stuff! Hogwarts is going to be fun!" Bree squealed in delight.
"Aunt Kat...Uncle Alex you have to try one of these." Wills tossed them a Fizzing Whizbee. He and Ginny were floating above them.
"A little sugar won't hurt." The two of them ate the candy and joined the two floating around on the ceiling.
"What are these?" The twins dug into her bag and pulled out a brightly wrapped candy. "Let's try one." They popped them into their mouths and fainted for the sweets were Fainting Fancies.
Harry opened one eye to view the circus that was occurring around them. There were yellow feathers everywhere, the twins were out cold, and Wills, Ginny, and his godparents were all floating on the ceiling. He noticed that Wills was currently headless. "Uh angel mine Ginny is entertaining everyone with our special sweets." He broke off a kiss so he could growl that in her ear.
Hermione's eyes shot open she was not happy that someone would dare interrupt her brilliant plan. "What on earth do you mean by..." She took in what was happening in the cabin and off went the cloak. "This is against the Wizarding code! We are going to get into loads of trouble!"
"Angel it's not recommended, but there's no law saying that Muggles can't try our sweets." Harry tried to keep a serious look on his face, but the things going on around them were so funny.
Mattie came to see what all the noise was about and stared in disbelief at what was going on in the cabin. "Honestly you two are trouble times ten." She took the candy out of the twins' hands and fed them the antidote side of the treat.
"Hi nanny! We're eating sweets you should try some!" The twins now half-awake reached into the sack and took out a Fizzing Whizbee.
"My stars I haven't tried one of these in ages." She popped it into her mouth and joined the others.
Harry glanced out the window the plane was starting it's decent. "Will you relax its all in good fun." He unbuckled his seat belt and pulled her onto his lap.
"FUN!? FUN?! What if the crew were to see them like this?" She glared up at her family in disgust.
"Relax honey the crew has been wizard friendly since you were accepted into Hogwarts." Alex and Katherine were both back in their seats. They were sucking on tooth flossing Stringmints, as was the rest of the family.
Harry took out his wand and pointed it at Ginny's bag. "Accio knapsack," He brought the sack to him. "What do we have in here...lets see now these are new." He pulled out a moon shaped candy that was wrapped in midnight blue paper with stars on it.
"Night Caps?" Hermione took the sweet unwrapped it. "I can just imagine what these little chocolates do."
"I would think that they used some kind of sleeping potion on the chocolate it would fit the name Night Caps." Harry surmised.
"The affects can last anywhere from ten minutes to an hour it really depends on the person who eats it. It does have this odd side effect though it makes you wake up all cheerful even if you were furious before you ate the candy." Ginny gave them the information on the new sweet.
"Your brothers have gone too far this time! What if someone tries to use this to harm someone or so that they can do something illegal?" Hermione snarled in exasperation.
"Then the no harm no foul rule goes into effect and the foul player is hexed by a dozen of the nastiest jinxes you can imagine. Fred and George do have morals too." Ginny glared at Hermione.
"That's such a relief. I've been begging them to come up with some sort of fail-safe for their inventions and they did." Harry grinned.
"Fred and George were actually listening to me for once." Hermione settled down.
"These were created for when Mum goes off on her rants." Ginny glanced over at the twins they were sound asleep. "Although it does have other uses…"
"Harry you have to give them a bonus for these! I mean they tamed the twins!" Hermione was all for WWW incorporated now that they had done something useful like tame her brother and sister.
Ginny reached into the bag and pulled out a heart shaped candy with the letters HH stamped on it. She grinned at Hermione and popped it into her mouth. "I don't think you'll be singing their praises after you see what else they've been up to." She proceeded to blow a heart shaped bubble that when it reached its proper size broke free and multiplied into a dozen heart shaped bubbles. They resembled valentine candies and had various messages flashing inside them all were about Harry and Hermione. "This is a prototype for their future personalized line they're called Endearing Fancies."
Wills reached up and popped one that said 'Mione got her flyboy'. "Oh yeah, Mione they really listened to you all right!" He was laughing so hard that his sides hurt.
"I think that it's sweet of them to make something to honor the two of you." Katherine smiled.
"Oh don't worry about that they've done that in spades." Ginny reached way into her bag and came out with a clear box that contained one of the Love Bangs.
"An everlasting heart shaped fire work depicting Harry and Hermione kissing under James and Lily's tree that's amazing." Alex and Katherine were entranced by the Love Bang.
"Oh those two are beyond dead!" Hermione was seething mad.
"Nap time angel." Harry popped a Night Cap in her mouth and she was out like a light in his arms. "I am so gonna give them a bonus." He liked these new treats.
"She's just so shy about showing her feelings around other people." Katherine explained her daughter's actions to them.
"Our Hermione…" Harry and Ginny looked at Katherine then at Hermione sleeping in his arms. "Shy."
"Our Ducky is shy around anyone at least in the Muggle world." Wills nodded.
"So she isn't at all shy at school? What I mean is, she actually opens up at school, doesn't stay in her shell?" Alex frowned.
"Nope not even from day one on the train during first year. She was determined to be top marks and everything. I have never once thought of her as shy. Nosy, a busybody, brilliant, brave, cunning as a cat..." Harry stopped in midsentence. "Oh bloody hell we forgot Crookshanks!" Harry groaned.
:CRACK!:
"Did someone just mention..." Fred appeared in the cabin of the plane.
:CRACK:
"Crookshanks?" George appeared beside him with the cat in question in his arms.
"Are you out of your ever-loving minds? You could have killed yourself Apparating inside a moving plane!?" Harry snarled at them.
"Yeah well..." Fred frowned at him.
"You were the ones that forgot the cat." George set him down in Hermione's lap.
Crookshanks hissed and snarled at Harry.
George took in all the feathers scattered everywhere in the cabin. "I see that some of you have been having fun." He grinned.
"Well done baby sis." Fred winked at Ginny.
"So that's what apparition looks like." Wills ears were still ringing from the loud cracking noise that occurred when one appears at their location.
"Well I'll be!" Fred gaped at Wills.
"It's the blooming Prince of England!" George couldn't believe his eyes.
"Wills is Hermione's cousin. William Windsor, Fred and George Weasley," Harry introduced them to each other.
"In my world you're as famous and I am." Wills grinned.
"Not possible." Fred shook his head.
"We don't advertise in the Muggle world so how could we be blooming famous?!" Fred growled in frustration this prince was not making any sense.
"You two never listen to a word anyone says to you do you?" Harry rolled his eyes heavenward as if to will his temper to stay in check. "There is a Muggle writer who is writing a whole series of books about us!"
"JK Rowling is just about to release the book on Harry's sixth year. She's titling it Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Every book in the series has sold millions of copies and is the most popular children's series in the world." Wills filled them in.
"Ginny could you open Hermione's knapsack and see if she has them inside there?" Harry was unable to move he had a snoozing Hermione in his arms and a very irate Crookshanks glaring at him. "I would get them myself, but I happen to be on cuddle duty at the moment."
"Cuddle duty!" Fred hooted.
"Awe ain't that sweet the two of you could give someone cavities!" George teased.
"Wicked cool, look at these!" Ginny took out the set of books. "Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone, Chamber of Secrets, Prisoner of Azkaban, Goblet of fire, and the Order of the Phoenix." She read the titles one by one.
"NO WAY!" The twins stared at the books they were irate that their world was no longer secret. "Our cover has been blown!"
"Not exactly those are all fictional children's novels in my world." Wills did not really wish to see the twins in a temper, but instantly realized that what he had said was the wrong thing.
"Fiction! Imaginary characters!" Fred fumed.
"We should give her a taste of what fiction feels like!" George was not happy at all about people thinking that they were some bloody make-believe characters.
:ENOUGH!!: Harry's roar echoed in their minds. "Now the two of you will sit your sorry asses down in those seats and calm down! I think we are landing now and I do not wish to have your temper tantrum crash this bloody plane!!"
Fred and George held their heads in reaction to his mental command. "Bloody hell Fred he went and put on the friggin HBP ring!"
"He's ruined now isn't he George?" Fred sat down and looked like he was going to cry.
"Yes I'm afraid we've lost him." George sat down next to his twin and they to Harry's astonishment burst into tears.
"Cut it out you morons!" Harry glared at them. "This does not mean that I'm ruined! I'm still a marauder as my father was!"
"Yes but sadly now you have a leash where's the fun in that?" The twins pouted.
"Harry is so not leashed. You should see him when his James side comes out." Ginny corrected them. "I can just imagine what Draco is going to do when he sees that ring on your finger." She grinned.
"Why did you call that snot nosed git by his given name?!" The twins glared at her.
"Draco is his name isn't it and I did save his sorry butt last term, so if I wish to call him by his given name then I will." Ginny growled.
"That's sacrilege that is!" They glared at her. "You can't fall for Malfoy its...it's not done that's what it is!"
"Harry, Scourgify their mouths for that one!" Ginny was seething mad.
"Oi the plane has landed. Time is galleons!" They Disapparated with a loud crack.
"I'm gonna get those two so good for that comment you just watch me." She gathered the books and set them back in the sack. "Honestly to think that I like Malfoy!"
Alex and Katherine each gathered a twin and Mattie gathered their things.
"We'll clean this up and be out in a few minutes." Harry smiled at them. "Wills would you please take Hermione to the car for me?"
"Sure thing Harry," Wills carefully scooped up Hermione, careful not to drop the ornery cat in her arms, and carried her out of the plane.
Harry took out his wand and used Scourgify to clean up the mess in the cabin. "Ok now you look me in the eyes and tell me that you're not going soft about Malfoy." He looked down at Ginny.
"I just think that to stop the whole cycle of Dark wizards that someone has to make the first move to try to reform at least one of the strongest of the new crop of them. I mean it worked on Kreacher, when we were nice to him, so maybe it will work with Draco." Ginny stared up into his eyes and saw that he was actually thinking about what she had said and that was enough for her.
"So Pig is taking letters back in forth between you and Draco?" Harry frowned.
"He has no friends. No great wealth except for what was set aside in his trust fund. His name is dirt. His mother is in Azkaban, she won't even look at him. He has nothing anymore. He's being watched over by his legal guardian, Professor Snape. He's also his godfather and the only place that he has left where he can feel safe is the place on Godric Lake." Ginny gave him the skinny on what was happening in Draco's world.
"Look Ginny even if I wanted to proclaim a truce the facts are that he hates my guts, thinks that I killed his father, and in his eyes I ruined his life. No amount of goodwill could work against that much hate, it isn't possible." Harry handed Ginny her Knapsack and stuffed the cloak into his pocket.
: It never hurts to try young master...James and Severus eventually came to a kind of truce between them.: Leo was on Ginny's side.
"All I ask is that if you see him, you won't hex him on sight." Ginny looked up at him with pleading moss green eyes.
:Draco did not help kill your parents nor did he help in killing Ronald. His father did those things. If you blame Draco as he blames you then you will end up like Severus is. Bitter and full of hate.: Leo growled.
"You both win I will try to be civil around Malfoy." With that said, he stalked out of the plane with Ginny on his heels.
"He's a Black just as much as he is Malfoy." Ginny stood on tiptoe and hissed into his ear. "So some of what made Sirius who he was could be hidden inside him."
"Ginny I said that I would think about...Hell I even said I would be nice to him, so don't push it." Harry got in the car and slid in next to Hermione.
--
"You two are going to love Godric's Hollow." Wills was sitting next to Ginny.
"As long as there's a place where we can play Quidditch then Harry and I will be happy." Ginny was yearning to get on her Firebolt.
"There's a huge untouched expanse of land. It's the best prime piece of untouched property in South Wales. Where something resembles what your pitches look like. It even has goal posts. In fact the land borders Lazy Meadows." Wills grinned. "It's not to far from where Harry used to live."
"Yes! Your Dad didn't lie to me when he told me there was a pitch in your old backyard!" Ginny was on cloud nine. "I'm so glad that your uncle found that painting of them! He's so awesome to talk to as is your mum!"
"Harry you do realize that you own more than that 450 acres. That was just what Sirius bought back from the village. You also own all the way to the border of the Malfoy estate. While you and Hermione are at the meadows, we can discuss what kind of home you want built there. I have arranged to have some plans that you can look at on the computer at home." Alex filled Harry in on some of his plans for their stay. "Of course Lazy Meadows is your home to."
"Really? I'd like that Uncle Alex." Harry ignored that his godfather had mentioned the Malfoy estate.
"Wills what are you doing with Harry and Hermione's Muggle money case?" Ginny looked at the silver case in Wills lap.
"I know what this is Ginny. The question is what did they do rob a bank? I mean there's like over 3 million pounds in here." Wills glanced over the seat at Harry.
He took out a galleon from his pocket and handed it to him. "No I just traded these for that, ten of them to be exact."
Wills looked at the ancient gold coin with the mark of some ancient king stamped on it. "This is priceless!"
"No that's junk in our world. They take that and melt it down to make these." He then handed him a Gringotts galleon.
"Our worlds are as different as night and day." Wills shook his head. "Can I keep this?"
"Sure go ahead you can have both if you want." Harry handed him silver and then a bronze coin. "Have these too."
"The Gold one is a Galleon, the silver one is a called a silver Sickle and the bronze one is called a bronze Knut." Ginny explained.
"Here Uncle Alex you and Aunt Kathy should manage this for the two of them." Wills handed his Aunt the case.
"My word this is a lot of money." Katherine opened the case.
"I think that should be enough to start on a new house." Harry made conversation. He didn't have the slightest clue what kind of money it took to build a home.
"I can assure you son that this is more than enough to keep you financially secure in the Muggle world." Alex grinned.
"He needs a place to feel safe..." Hermione was slowly waking up. "Where Hagrid can visit and feel at home. Welcome to the entire family..." She yawned.
"So this house has to be both Muggle and Wizard friendly." Wills grinned. "Now that's not too difficult just have the Wizard architects do their stuff and when they are finished call in the Muggles to add in the rest."
"Don't worry I have it all planned out." Hermione snuggled closer to Harry.
"How could I ever forget our Ducky and her plans?" Wills chuckled.
"Hey, I wouldn't be sitting here today without her brilliant sometimes lethally dangerous plans. Harry it's only the restricted section and you have the cloak. Who will know? Distract the werewolf. Howl at it. Have it chase us. Oh yeah, saved my arse, but boy did he almost get us killed...Grawp cannot forget old fun lovable going to crush you as soon as look at you Grawp. Hagrid's half brother and then the centaurs us marching in there with toad lady no wands, no nothing. Yep, she has some brilliant plans." He was knocked upside the head again.
"Quit while you are ahead Harry James." Hermione growled.
"Sorry angel mine I guess I got a little carried away." Harry smiled down at her.
--
Thirty minutes later, they were driving through the open gates of Lazy Meadows.
It was a massive English country estate. The main house was three stories of what seemed to be a mixture of both modern and old English architecture. Stain glass windows graced the corner torrents depicting various scenes from King Arthur's legendary rein, to mystical creatures. At the very top of them were star look out areas. It had a massive front portico with carved marble columns. Although it was an estate, it was very much a home. Toys were scattered all around the front gardens and the main lawns. Super soaker water guns were floating in each of the fountains that were the centerpiece of the front rose gardens. To Harry this place just seemed to call to him as if welcoming him home.
"Well Harry welcome to Lazy Meadows and welcome home." Alex parked the Land Rover in front of one of the parking stalls. He couldn't drive in because there were bikes lying across the front of the stall.
"Please excuse the mess the twins don't know the meaning of the word neat." Katherine sighed.
"I don't mind that at all it feels good to be home again." Harry watched as the twins zoomed out of the SUV to go finish their water fight.
"It looks like we're going to have to go into battle if we wish to make it to the front doors." Wills eyed the twins loading up their water guns in the fountain. "I'll go out first and see if I can get one of their Super soakers. Ginny you follow see if you can get a Super soaker as well. Harry you and Hermione make a run for the doors."
"Super soakers?" Ginny frowned in confusion.
"Sorry they're high-powered water guns guaranteed to soak you clean through with one or two shots." Wills explained.
"Sounds like fun!" Ginny grinned. "Hermione take my Knapsack inside for me while the two of us battle the twins."
"Ready? The twins are regrouping. Now is our chance. Everyone move out."
Harry and Hermione raced for the front portico and barely made it without getting soaked.
Wills and Ginny managed to get two Super soakers and were in an all-out water war with the twins.
"Get Harry and Sissy!" The twins took aim and fired.
Harry expecting such an attack countered it by shouting. "Aqueductus!" A geyser of water shot out of his wand drenching not only the twins but Ginny and Wills as well. "Sorry about that!" He hid behind a column as water deluged the front portico.
"Aqueductus?" Hermione, who was hiding behind another column, rolled her eyes at him. "You made that up."
"I know and I really didn't think that it would work!" He was having fun avoiding the four different attackers and occasionally shot water at them from his wand. "I'll hold them off while you take cover inside." Harry jumped over one of the front hedges and ran away from the front portico.
Hermione sat down on a dry piece of the front portico. "I've never seen him so relaxed and happy." She watched him at play.
Mattie sat down next to her. "That is because he has never been able to play since he was around you as a baby. It's the first time in 16yrs that he has ever truly played."
"Thanks nanny I didn't think of it that way." Hermione handed her the two knapsacks. "Could you please put those in my rooms? I believe my Flyboy needs some back up."
"Sure baby go play with the others. It's not like you ever wanted to play when you were growing up." Mattie handed her a super soaker 10,000, fully loaded with water and ready to go into battle.
"Thanks Nanny!" Hermione slipped on the hard plastic pack that contained the main source of the guns power several gallons of water and then raced off into battle. "Take that you three!" She aimed fired and got Harry square in the chest before adjusting her aim at the other three. "Sorry about that Harry." She grinned.
"Oh you will be Granger." He aimed and fired the stream of water from his wand directly at her. Just as she aimed at him the result was the both of them drenching everyone in sight.
"Run for it Harry. They can't take them into the backyard that's off-limits to water fights!"
She and Harry raced through the back gate and into the rear grounds of the estate. A massive jungle gym took up a huge space beside a big old weeping willow that housed the twins' tree house castle.
"Wow!" Harry took in the backyard, various paths led to the pool area, stables, and down towards the lake in the distance. "This place is great and that thing is not your normal jungle gym."
"I told you that we lived in a Muggle/Wizarding village." Hermione grinned.
--
That evening all of them sat down for a cookout under the stars. Fred and George their business done and having filled their stomachs, were inside watching the Harry potter movies on DVD.
The rest of them were outside enjoying the warm night air.
Hedwig swooped down and landed on Harry's shoulder. She had a letter for him from his Uncle.
"Hi there girl. You're gonna love this place. They even have a small Owlery for you to sleep in instead of your cage."
Hermione took the letter read it three times and then handed it to him. "I don't believe it. He cannot be serious! I mean it is him we are talking about right. How could he ever ask something like that of you?"
Harry read the letter.
--
Dear Nephew,
As you are, aware Draco is currently living in the only place left for him to go, his summer home in Godric's Hollow. Severus is his guardian now as he has no one else left to turn to. Draco is at a crossroads in his life and I feel that unless someone helps him along the right path that he will turn towards the path that Tom had chosen all those years ago. You and I both made a vow that no one like Voldemort would ever arise again. I trust you to keep that vow dear nephew.
You see Harry. Draco, who once had anything that his heart desired, now has nothing and you who once had nothing now have everything. You have a new family, loyal friends, and a love that will last a lifetime. Draco has no parents, his friends deserted him, no family that want to take him into their fold, and a wealth that once was vast is now just a small fortune. His family name has been forever tarnished. In the eyes of our world it will stand for lies, deceit, and the worst of the Deatheaters.
Ginny is right Harry. There is some part of what made Sirius buried deep inside Draco. You just have to be patient enough to seek it out and find it. The war is over. It is time to raise the hand of truce to your arch foe, so perhaps he could become a great friend. I expect you to not do anything rash and let loose your temper on him, but I suspect that Leo will not allow that to happen. Yes Harry I know that you put on the Half-Blood Prince ring. Listen to him Harry. He is very wise and old as time. He will guide you as your Aunt and I have and will continue to do so for years to come. We are looking forward to seeing you on August twenty-first. Do enjoy your time at home.
Love
Uncle Albus
PS: Enclosed is a document please have William sign it with the enclosed quill.

Something else fluttered down to the marble patio tile, it was a sealed letter with a MOM department of Mysteries seal on it. "Do I even want to know?" He reluctantly picked up the letter.
"Open it Harry it looks important." Hermione and Ginny were dying to know what was enclosed in the sealed letter.
Harry used his wand to open the letter and to his shock and horror, a voice rang out around them. Professor Sibyll Trelawney's ethereal but this time not so foreboding voice. He listened to it intently while proceeding to read the rest of the letter.
--
All will thrive and live happily
When these four continue their family trees
Four hearts unite and bond,
Two enemies will become great friends
Two best friends will become more
One house loses one and one gains another
A family tree dies out, while another is reborn
Centuries of peace will thrive across the land
As Leo, has rightfully returned to the HBP's Hand.
--
He proceeded to swear in a language that none of them could possibly understand. He was swearing in Parseltounge.
Ginny and Hermione stared at Harry who was clearly not happy about this at all. "Um Harry maybe this is why he wrote all of those things in that letter." Hermione took the letter from him and read the rest of it.
"I'm new at all of this, but that sounded like good news to me. So why is he swearing in that what is it called Parseltounge?" Wills frowned.
"That isn't why he's swearing in Parseltounge." Hermione frowned. "It's what is in the rest of this letter."
"They took samples of my blood while I was unconscious at St. Mungo's for three weeks. They used the excuse that maybe something was amiss with my blood chemistry! They lied so they could go back to their cave and do crazy experiments with my special blood!" Harry was so not happy with that part then he took a deep breath and calmed down. "However they seem to have found a cure for werewolves and are working on curing vampires as we speak. Uncle Remus was the first to get the serum and he is now free of his curse. The reason that they are telling me this is that The Daily Prophet is doing a front page article on the new prophecy and the miracle cure. Although, my name will not be mentioned of course, after all we can't have everyone hounding me to cure them now can we." Harry handed the first letter, the one from his Uncle, to Ginny and then tossed the other message to Wills "That's for you. He wants you to read it and then sign it."
"Remus is cured this in wonderful news!" Katherine was very happy. "Now Harry, how they went about it was criminal, but think of how happy Remus must be right now."
"After all those years he is finally free." Alex nodded.
"I'll send Hedwig with a message to come here after dinner." Harry grinned. "I guess it was just a shock to read that after hearing the new prophecy. I think that Kreacher should come here too that is if you don't mind."
"That poor thing all alone, of course not yes you must invite him to. I only wish that we could do something about his clothes." Katherine frowned.
"Oh I think that I can arrange something about that." Harry grinned and Hermione launched herself into his arms sending the two of them backwards in the chair and Hedwig flying for cover.
"Sorry." Hermione grinned down at him.
"Oh that's okay. I'm use to you trying to kill me." He wasn't the least bit mad about the stinging sensation on his tailbone.
Wills frowned at the letter in his hands. He opened the document read it three times then signed it with the enclosed enchanted quill. That done the quill and document vanished. "I have the sudden urge to order a hit on my father! That way my hands are clean and I can still take the throne." He was seething mad.
Alex frowned at his cousin, who was more like a nephew to him. "What did that say?"
"I got a letter when I was eleven and my Dad never let me even see it!" Wills was livid.
"The Dursley's tried to do that to me, but then you can't deny the Headmaster's nephew from him for too long. I think they must have sent at least a few thousand letters when they gave up on that and sent Hagrid there to get me. Although, you know all of this because she wrote it." Harry sympathized with Wills. "I would think that in your case you're the future king, so I guess that might complicate matters a little."
"You're destined to carry on your mother's legacy. Just as Harry has had a destiny to fill in the Wizarding World. Wills, you cannot be both not in your situation. That just isn't possible." Hermione joined in the discussion from her content spot in Harry's lap.
"The truth is that your mother wanted you to have a choice. Now your father, well, he's a stick-in-the-mud when it comes to life as a royal. He's the prince who will most likely never be king and you are the son who will be king." Alex frowned.
"My dad is an ass and he never deserved my Mum! I used to worship him until I finally learned the truth and then I did everything in my power to protect her! Lot good that did didn't it!" Wills had tears burning in his eyes. "I plan on making several changes when I take the throne and he isn't going to like any of them!"
"Oi! That's Lupin and Buckbeak!" Fred was standing on Hermione's star lookout he was pointing towards the stables.
"Isn't that the full moon?" George didn't know what to think.
"Yeah, shouldn't he be howling or something?" Fred also was at a loss.
Harry looked over towards the stables sure enough there were three new visitors Remus, Kreacher was in his arms, and they were on Buckbeak. "So much for me having to send him an owl invite," Harry pulled the two of them up to their feet and headed for his Uncle.
"The rest of you stay up on the patio until we see what kind of mood Beaky is in." Hermione called over to the rest of the family. "Oh and that's a hippogriff."
"Harry! Hermione! Have you heard the wonderful news?" Remus was on cloud nine now that he was free after all of those long harsh years. He was wearing new robes and looked younger than he had in years.
"We sure did. Hedwig brought us the news about five minutes ago." Harry grinned down at Kreacher, who was sporting one of his t-shirts. "So how does it feel to be free?"
"It feels great! I'm starving. Be a good lad and take care of Beaky." He raced passed them up the patio steps and over to the feast.
"I's still has my family Master Harry, but now I can go with masters to Hogwarts. Kreacher is very happy." Kreacher had bathed and actually smelled and looked rather hospitable. "Hello Miss Hermione."
"Hello Kreacher welcome to my home." Hermione smiled down at him. "There is food up there if you're hungry." She pointed up on the patio.
"Thank you Miss. I's am very hungry." Off he went.
Harry used his wand to lift off the heavy baggage that Beaky was still carrying on either side of his back. "There ya go boy all better. Now let's see are you hungry?" Harry, who didn't even have to bow anymore, stroked Beaky's head caringly.
The majestic creature squawked in response and nodded his huge head.
"Ok. Well do you feel like giving a few new people some free rides?" He patted him some more. "That way you can eat the bats flying around here and they can have some fun in the process."
Beaky lay down on the grass in response.
"I'll take that as a yes." Harry removed the harness that they'd put on him to carry the trunks. "Ok you stay here while I get your first rider." He really didn't have to say anything Hermione was grooming his feathers and the hippogriff was in heaven.
"Oh you poor baby did they put that thing on you again. Look at your poor feathers." Hermione crooned.
Harry ran up the patio steps. "Okay who wants to go for a ride?" He grinned at all the surprised faces that stared back at him. "Sorry I keep forgetting that you aren't used to seeing creatures like him. I'll explain the things you need to know when around a Hippogriff and what he is." He sighed, "Buckbeak is half giant eagle and half horse. His kind are proud creatures. I wouldn't advice anyone to run up to one, insult one, or get near a wild one unless you know the rules first. First, you must always bow and remember to keep eye contact with them. Now if they bow back then they will allow you to approach them, and if you're lucky take a ride on them."
"Draco insulted Buckbeak and ended up in Hospital wing during his third year." Ginny gave them an idea about how serious Harry's warning was. "But he's quite tame now." She rolled her eyes in amusement Beaky had rolled onto his side.
Hermione was now able to rub his underside.
"He loves Hermione and Harry. He would roll over, beg, or even fetch if they asked him to." Remus grinned.
"I'll go first he seems to be a gentle beast." Wills got up and slowly walked down the steps.
Buckbeak rolled back over and made eye contact with him, as if to see if this one was worthy of a ride on his back. He did not however get up and remained lying beside Hermione.
"That's the prince of England don't you dare drop him in the lake." Hermione hissed down at him. She knew the creature all to well.
"Hello there Boy, you're a fine looking steed." Wills was kneeling next to him and was giving him a rub down. "Let's say you and I have a flight shall we?" He got on his back, took the reins in his hands, and Beaky stood up to his full massive height.
Beaky made sure that he had room to spread out his majestic wings, and off they went.
"My word that's a breathtaking sight," Katherine watched as the two soared around in the sky.
"That it is my dear." Alex was taking in what she was seeing. "It's a good thing the new paddocks were finished this week. I think he'll be happy having that to himself."
"Can we go for a ride?" The Granger twins looked eagerly at their parents.
"I don't see why not as long as Harry rides with you." Katherine nodded.
"Thanks mum you're the best!" They raced over and hugged their mother.
Wills didn't want to end his ride, but had no choice because Harry whistled for his steed to return. "That was the ultimate rush! I mean bungee jumping is nothing to riding him when he's hunting." He patted Buckbeak on the rump.
"Ok you two now no horsing around." Hermione called over to the twins.
"We won't! We promise." They chimed in unison. "Wow he's so awesome." They walked up to him did a little bow and clapped happily when Beaky bowed back and proceeded to lay down so they could get on his back.
Harry got on behind them and took the reins. "Ok hang on tight, but try not to pluck out his feathers he doesn't really like that." He signaled his steed and off they went.
"Oi! Professor Lupin how's it that..." Fred came out to see what was up.
"You aren't howling at the moon?" George frowned.
"Well boys the truth is that I'm now officially werewolf free." He grinned at them.
"That's bloody well amazing!" Fred grinned.
"I mean they've been trying to find a cure for years." George agreed.
"Let's just say that recently the final piece to that puzzle fell into place." He took a sip of his iced tea.
Ginny hid the letters in her lap.
"If that's it then..." Fred now knowing what was up wanted to go back to watching the first Harry Potter movie.
"We'll go back to our movie...we paused it where our little brother is about to get crowned by the queen." George and Fred ran back inside the main house.
--
It was close to an hour later, but everyone who wished for a ride had gotten one and Beaky was happy and fed. However, the hippogriff wanted one other person to ride him and that was Hermione.
"Your turn, angel mine, he isn't gonna take no for an answer either." Harry rode up to Hermione, reached down, and proceeded to set her in front of him on the steed.
"All right eagle feathers you win we will go for a RIDE!" Beaky took off into the air and she hadn't been ready for it yet.
Harry had a secure hold on the reins with one hand and a hold around her waist with his free arm. "So where to, angel?" He set his chin on top of her head like always.
"Well let's take a stroll down on Godric Lake's shore." She leaned back in his arms.
"Hear that boy you can go fishing while we take a little walk." The hippogriff didn't need telling twice and within moments they were safely back on the solid ground of the lakeshore. "Now this is an amazing sight." He took in the quite surroundings and the moonshining on the lake. "It's hard to believe that a lot of this is all really mine."
"Well it is." Hermione stood on tiptoe and kissed his cheek.
"Off you go Beaky but don't stray too far." He patted his steed fondly on the rump. The Hippogriff however had decided to stick with his master. "Or not."
Hermione took his hand and they raced down the beach. "So how does it feel to finally be home?" They had paused to just hold each other and look at the lake.
"It feels like this enormous weight has been lifted off my shoulders and now for the first time in like forever I can finally breathe again!" Harry twirled her around in his arms.
Hermione laughed, as he continued to twirl her around and around. "I love you so much you do know that don't you Harry James Potter." She was pulled back into his arms and they kissed for some time.
"I love you too Hermione Anne Granger." He smiled down at her and they continued their stroll down the moonlit beach.
Buckbeak seemed to be keeping guard or something.
"Shove off you Muggles! This is a private beach!" Draco snarled clearly not in the mood to deal with anyone.
Hermione and Harry stopped dead in their tracks; Draco was sitting ten feet in front of them.
"Now Harry do not do anything rash, remember what your Uncle said." Hermione hissed.
"This is a private beach all right, but I'm the one who owns it." Harry held his temper in check. "So why don't you shove off!"
"Why you filthy Muggle, do you have any idea who I am?" Draco sprang to his feet.
"The question that you need to ask yourself, Malfoy, is do you know who I am?" Harry had his wand out and was pointing it straight at him.
Draco narrowed his eyes at the two of them. "Well if it isn't Potty and Granger! What are you two doing here?"
"I happen to own this land Malfoy and Hermione lives in Godric's Hollow. So, why don't you do the intelligent thing and bugger off while I still let you!" Harry felt a nudge behind him it was Buckbeak. "Even better do you remember Buckbeak? He's a free hippogriff now, no thanks to your lies. But wait that's what your family does isn't it. They tell evil nasty lies, commit despicable crimes, and then can't forget do the occasional murder as well!"
Draco took one look at Beaky and didn't try to get any closer to Harry or Hermione. "Keep it away from me!" He had a hint of fear in his voice, but that soon was overpowered by the rage that he felt for Harry. "YOU MURDERED MY FATHER!"
"WRONG! HE FELL AFTER GETTING HIT BY A STUNNING SPELL! YOUR FATHER HELPED MURDER MY PARENTS! RON AND LUNA! OH BLOODY HELL THAT LIST GOES ON AND ON, WHILE YOUR MOTHER COVERED FOR HIM WITH LIE AFTER LIE!!" Harry's answer echoed all around them.
"SHUT UP POTTER!!" Draco roared back at him.
"OR YOU'LL DO WHAT HEX ME?! NEWSFLASH DRACO YOU'RE NOT LEGAL YET AND YOU SURE AS HELL CAN'T RISK GETTING A WARNING! WE BOTH KNOW THAT YOU WOULD BE INSTANTLY EXPELLED!! I HOWEVER AM VERY MUCH OF AGE AND IF YOU DON'T SHOVE OFF MY PROPERTY I CAN AND WILL HEX YOUR SORRY ASS WITH SO MANY JINXES THAT NOT EVEN ST. MUNGO'S WILL BE ABLE TO SORT YOU OUT!!" Harry's temper was on meltdown now.
:Harry James you remember what your uncle said!: Leo growled at him.
:Stay out of it Leo!: Harry shut him out of his mind.
"You're delusional as usual Potter! This is free land and it happens to border my summer home's property!" Draco was not about to back down.
"This land that you're standing on is mine. All of it and it always has been. My land reaches all the way passed the Godric Castle ruins, that happened to belong to my many great-grandfather Godric Gryffindor! See this you serpent wanna be!" Harry held out his right hand, so Malfoy could get a good look at Leo. "This proves my claim!"
"That...that...ring hasn't been seen in..." Draco was not about to admit that Potter might just outrank him.
"SIXTEEN YEARS! It hasn't appeared since my DAD was MURDERED! I got it on my sixteenth birthday!"
It was as if by some magic that Harry could now look at Draco and not see the person that he despised more than anyone in the world. Here stood a young man, no longer the perfect son. Draco just looked lost and defeated. This realization, as if someone had taken the blinders away from Harry's eyes, caused his temper to vanish, and he instantly calmed down.
"You know what Draco you just aren't worth the time or energy any more." Harry put his wand away. "Let's go angel the family is waiting for us back at Lazy Meadows." He took her hand in his and signaled Buckbeak to follow him as they headed back down the beach.
--
"POTTER!!" Draco roared his name, but they ignored him. "WE HAVEN'T FINISHED THIS YET!!"
"DRACO!!" Snape's roar echoed around the lake.
"Leave the two of them alone! You are in fact on his property and he had every right to kick you off it! Now let's go!" He grabbed Draco by the arm.
"Uncle Severus! He! He! Killed My father!!" Draco's voice cracked with emotion.
"Lucius killed himself and before that tried to kill you! If it had not been for Ginny Weasley, you would be dead! Lucius was furious about being denied taking the life of his only son, so he used Crucio and Imperio on her brother. This was the moment that forced Mr. Potter's hand. He had already used Avada Kedavra on Bellatrix for attempting to use Crucio on Miss Granger. He nevertheless chose to use a stunning spell instead. Your father caused his own death. Harry did nothing, other than show him mercy and what did that cost him? What did that cost him Draco?! It cost him the life of his best friend Mr. Ronald Weasley! No Draco, Harry did not kill your father and the sooner you get that through your head the longer your life will be!" Severus stared intently down into Draco's eyes. "Mark my words boy, Potter will kill you if you even attempt to walk the path of the Dark Lord, and no one will stop him either. None of us wish to enter that era of darkness again!"
"MY FATHER WAS A GREAT MAN! DO YOU HEAR ME?" Draco was crying now. "I AM THE FAILURE!!"
Severus placed his hands on Draco's shaking shoulders. "Your father was the failure boy. You just didn't turn out to be his clone."
"I'M ALONE! I DON'T WANT TO BE ALONE!" He fell to his knees on the sand in utter defeat. "EVEN MY OWN MOTHER CAN'T STAND THE SIGHT OF ME! I VISITED HER IN AZKABAN AND SHE WON'T EVEN LOOK AT ME! SHE TOLD THEM THAT HER SON WAS DEAD! I MIGHT AS WELL BE DEAD! I AM NOTHING NOW!"
Harry stopped abruptly and Beaky accidentally poked him in his palm with his sharp beak. "Stay here and hold this for me." He handed her his wand.
"Harry did you hear him? Everything that your uncle said is true." Hermione's heart actually ached for Draco.
"Just stay here with Beak for me." Harry headed back towards Draco and Severus.
"Good evening Mr. Potter. Are you and Miss Granger enjoying a moonlit walk on the beach?" Snape greeted Harry.
"Evening Professor." Harry nodded.
Draco didn't even look up at him.
"Draco what was between us is over. There has been too much heartache...too many losses for both sides for this to continue. Therefore, as of now I'm declaring a truce between you and me. I don't wish to fight anymore its just pointless." He held out his injured hand.
Draco glared at him as if he were thinking his words over. "If this is your pitting me or feeling sorry for me then shove off!" He snarled.
"This is me wanting some peace and quiet in my last year at Hogwarts. Look Draco the days of the dark times are over I hope for centuries. There are other ways that don't involve embracing dark magic or following evil creatures like Voldemort was. He didn't care about anyone, but himself. It got him dead that's what it got him. You're a great wizard the thing is you don't have to be a dark one anymore. You will find and see that loyalty is huge on the white magic side of the coin." Harry held out his hand again.
Draco took it and Harry helped him to his feet. "Hey what gives?! Did you cut your hand to test me or something?!" He looked at his hand and then at Harry.
Harry looked at his hand and then at Draco's. He was right he had a nasty looking gash on his palm. "I didn't even know that Beak's little peck had cut me." He reached for a wand that wasn't there and sighed." Uh professor could you conjure up a bandage or something?" He held out his hand.
Severus pulled out a vial and treated his wound before bandaging it. "That showed trust Harry, leaving your wand with Miss Granger." He was impressed.
Harry shook his hand that was stinging like mad. "Bloody hell that stuff stings, but it did seal the gash!" He hissed under his breath. "Oh while I'm still thinking clearly...Uh Ginny is with us. If it's okay with your Uncle, you can come back with us and have some dinner. So do we have a truce? I must warn you though if you try to go back to your old ways then I will have to kill you and I really don't want to do that."
Draco held his and out this time. "Truce."
They shook on it.
Hermione raced over with Buckbeak on her heels. "Harry James what on earth happened?"
"Hurry you two. It would be a good idea to bow about now." Harry eyed his steed who was eyeing Draco and Snape.
They didn't need asking twice and to Harry's surprise Beaky bowed back.
"Beaky accidentally pecked me and I didn't know that I was bleeding. Hermione, Draco and I have called a truce so you can put away my wand." Harry grinned.
He took back his wand.
"She does like your wand doesn't she." Snape shook his head. "By the way Miss Granger very impressive jinx, it took them a while to make me right again."
"You were the one who gave my Uncle donkey ears and a tail!?" Draco smirked.
"Yes, well, I was guarding Harry at the time." Hermione blushed.
"Yes her new nickname around Hogwarts is going to be lioness." Snape smirked.
Buckbeak walked over to Draco and butted his arm with his head.
"Uh what does he want?" He eyed the beast with wary eyes.
"For heaven's sake Draco just pet him!" Hermione growled.
Draco reluctantly did as he was told. "I'm sorry about you know that whole off with your head thing." He tried to make amends.
:Crack:
Lupin apparated behind Snape, "There you are. Hermione your parents are starting to wonder where you two flew off to." He noticed that they were not alone. "Evening Severus, its Draco isn't it." He nodded at Draco.
"Isn't it the full moon tonight? I mean that is the moon isn't it?" Draco stared at Lupin then at his Uncle.
"He's cured." Hermione and Harry grinned.
"Quite so just took the serum this evening. I haven't felt this good in well never actually." Lupin smiled. "The two of you aren't killing each other, so have the two of you buried the hatchet?"
Draco finally got a good look at Harry and Hermione as the moon was shining on them now. "Harry where are your specs? Hermione...I mean...you look really..." Buckbeak butted him again, so he reluctantly climbed on him and off they went. "GREAT!!"
"He thinks you look hot angel mine, which is true, but then I don't have to like it that every guy drools at you now." He pulled her closer to him.
"Well Severus, you still going to give them their summer homework?" Remus grinned.
"Actually, I'm very impressed with Harry so much so the assignment has been canceled. It was the wolfsbane potion which seems to be something that he isn't ever going to need to make now." It was then that he noticed the HBP ring on Harry's finger. "You will use that wisely and because of you Draco will not fall into the cycle of darkness."
Harry glanced up at the sky. Draco was having a blast on the hippogriff. "The fact is Professor I learned that neglect and hatred caused Tom Riddle to turn and I don't wish that on anyone. Draco had the wrong influences and now all of his so-called friends have dropped him like a hot potato. He has never had true friends, so maybe if that comes to pass Draco won't be such an arse anymore." Harry was tackle hugged by Hermione.
"I have never been so proud of you in my life!" She kissed him all over his face.
:Well done young master, you have done well your first few hours wearing the ring: Leo was proud.
"You see Severus even Harry can sound as wise as the Headmaster." Remus grinned. "Anything is possible you, James, and Sirius eventually buried the hatchet. I don't see why those two can't either."
Snape nodded.
Draco was back, but he had a passenger with him. "Ginny was standing on the hill, so I thought that I would show her that I didn't steal your pet." He landed on the beach. "See that Gin I did not steal him and they're fine."
Ginny turned around and kissed him. "You mean the two of you are actually calling it truce!" She was over the moon.
Harry nodded.
Draco not really used to being spontaneously kissed had to admit that kissing Gin wasn't all that bad. In fact, it was up there on his list of favorite things and familiar somehow, but he couldn't think why. "Yes, well, Harry convinced me that our feud was pointless...we shook hands and I'm still here, so that's a good sign that our truce will work. After all his blood brands any Dark Wizard and I don't have a mark on me." Draco was babbling.
"It's true I didn't even know that I was bleeding until we shook on it." Harry nodded.
Ginny took out the prophecy and read it aloud. "This whole thing refers to the four of us!" Ginny grinned at Draco who was reading it over her shoulder.
All will thrive and live happily
When these four continue their family trees
Four hearts unite and bond,
Two enemies will become great friends
Two best friends will become more
One house loses one and one gains another
A family tree dies out, while another is reborn
Centuries of peace will thrive across the land
As Leo, has rightfully returned to the HBP's Hand.
"Professor Trelawney isn't a fraud?" Draco read the paper again.
"No not really. Actually this is her third prediction and it's the best one of the three." Harry grinned. "Not once is death or bloodshed mentioned in any line."
Severus was listening intently to the words of the prophecy. "Slytherin house is not home to you anymore. It would be too dangerous for you to remain there for your seventh year. Therefore, it would make sense that you would be sorted into another house. My guess would be Gryffindor since our Mr. Potter has offered the hand of peace to you and you accepted it." He frowned at Remus as he pondered the next line. "A family tree dies out, while another is reborn?"
"That one is simple the only family that lost its last direct male descendent is the Black family tree, but how can that be bought back?" Remus was just as puzzled.
"That one is easy even I get that one. Draco is a Black on his mother's side of the family." Ginny frowned.
"My family is dead to me now, so there's no need to carry on with the Malfoy surname. Uncle Severus is it possible to change a last name?" Draco asked his uncle.
"Yes if that is what you really want. We can arrange to have it done before school starts." Snape nodded.
"It's what I need to do to get passed all of this and start a new page in my life." Draco hugged Ginny.
Phoenix song filled the air and Fawkes landed gracefully on Harry's shoulder.
"What now?" He saw that he carried several letters in his talons.
Hermione took the letters and looked at them. "There's one for you, one for Professor Snape, and one for Draco."
Fawkes vanished with a flash of fire.
Harry read his letter and grinned.

Dear Nephew
We are over the moon with pride at your courage and bravery. It takes a strong will to call a truce and you have that in spades. Hogwarts is celebrating tonight as will the Wizarding World when The Daily Prophet is read tomorrow morning. We think it best if you call it a night as the time is approaching the midnight hour.
Love
Uncle Albus and Aunt Minerva
--
"Uncle Albus? Aunt Minerva?" Draco arched a silver blonde brow at him.
"Uh yeah, he's an Uncle on Dad's side and she's an Aunt on Mum's." Harry shrugged his shoulders as if it were no big deal.
"Hogwarts really is your home...all those years boasting and we thought you were crackers." Draco shook his head in disbelief and read his letter.
--
Dear Draco
It takes a strong wizard to admit that maybe the path that he has chosen is the wrong one. It takes an even stronger wizard to face the consequences of that decision to change. I have no doubt, that you will be able to overcome these consequences, as there is nothing, if you put your mind to it, that you cannot do.
I have had a conversation with the Sorting hat and he agrees that it be in your best interest to leave Slytherin and carry out the remainder of time at Hogwarts in Gryffindor Tower. Arrangements have been made for this and you will still be a Prefect.
Severus is needed with me so arrangements have been made for you to stay with Hermione's family. I trust that you will see this as a test of wills and pass with excellence. The four of you will then arrive at Hogwarts on August twenty-first.
Have nice time.
Yours,
Albus Dumbledore
PS: Please sign the enclosed document and I will arrange for the permanent change of your last name. Your inheritance will be still safe in a new vault in your name at Gringotts.
--
"Unreal he knows everything doesn't he?" Draco signed the documents and they vanished. "Two weeks by ourselves at Hogwarts!" Draco grinned. "You know I always have wanted sunshine in my dorm."
"Draco I will have your things sent over to Miss Grangers. I trust that you will be on your best behavior and for Merlin's sake do not call Miss Grangers family Muggles or the twins Mudbloods that is not in your vocabulary anymore. Is that understood?" Severus gave Draco one of his looks.
"If I slip they can scourgify my mouth." Draco nodded.
"Very well I will see the four of you in two weeks try not to get into too much trouble." With that said he disapparated with a crack.
"Well then you three up on Buckbeak." Remus instructed the teens. "Harry and I will Disapparate to Lazy Meadows."
"Up you go, Hermione." Harry set her in front of Ginny. "I'll see you back home." Hermione nodded not so sure of this whole plan as Buckbeak took off into the air.
"You know what Uncle Remus I think that everything might just be okay this year at Hogwarts." Harry took out his wand and prepared to Disapparate.
"I believe that this time you and Hermione just might get in a little fun." Remus nodded.
:Crack:
The two of them were gone.

Next
Fun at Last

I do not claim any of JKR's characters only that I love being able to create my own kind of mischief with her beloved characters. I do not claim any other things that are owned by other companies that I may mention once and a while in the stories...Although the original characters and ideas are, mine and I loved creating them. So please review if you wish but try not to flame me too badly.
