Chapter 2: The Burrow and Harry's new home

As the car, which Harry had found out that the weasleys bought, pulled up at the Burrow, he could see all the changes they had made. It was definitly bigger, probably for the twins to get seperate rooms or something. Then it hit him, they must have added a room for Harry. He smiled again. Home sweet home.

Harry got out of the car along with the rest of the family and he walked into his new home.

The kitchen was just how he remembered it. Messy, but homey.In the sink, pans were being washed by magic and the kettle was boiling away.He looked over at the clock and smiled. Molly and Arthur must have known that the Dursleys were going to say yes because Harry's face was now on the clock and it was pointed to home. Everyone walked in and led Harry upstairs. They decided to blindfold him. He was smiling the entire time they were walking. Everyone walked into the room and Ginny took the blindfold off.

He couldnt believe his eyes. His room. The door had his name on it in dark blue letters. He had a double bed and a closet. He had a chest of draws. His walls were a shade of red. Crimson or Maroon. Probably to represent Gryffindor. His quilt and pillows were black. It actually, overall, looked like a vampires room, off Buffy or something, but Harry loved it.

"Well, what do you think?" asked Arthur.

"I...love it. Its...thanks you guys. I actually feel like im home." he replied.

"Thats because you are." Molly whispered in his ear and the family left him, Ron and Hermione in Harry's new room.

"Ron, i need to talk to Hermione alone for a second." Harry asked.

"Sure, i'll be in my room. You have to check it out. Come down when your done." And with that Ron left.

"What do you need Harry?" asked Hermione. Harry reached into his pocket and pulled out the jewelry box. "Your not going to propose are you?"

"No." he laughed. "Its a present, it was my mothers, i want you to have it."

She opened the box and her mouth dropped. She opened up the heart shaped locket to reveal a picture of Harry as a baby and a picture of Her and Harry, when Hermione had taken him to the mall for the very first time. Right after the last World Cup. They had their cheeks together and they were smiling. They looked really happy. Harry held ut his hand and gave Hermione a strip of pictures.

"Here are the other pictures." She looked at them. In one they were making funny faces. In the other they were kissing the camera and in the third, Harry was staring at Hermione as she smiled.

"Hey, in this one, your just staring at me. Why?" she asked.

"No reason." He replied 'Its because you looked so gorgeous' he thought to himself.

"Thankyou." She said and hugged him. "Come on, you have to see Ron's room." She said and dragged down a flight of stairs and into Rons new bedroom. As Harry walked into the room, he couldn't believe it. The room was huge, about the size of Harry's new room, definitly bigger than before. The walls were painted orange to represent the Chudley Cannons. He had posters and a double bed, just like Harry. It was awesome.

"We had so much money, we even made a room for Hermione to stay in when she visits." Ron stated as Harry looked around the room.

"Like a guest room?"Harry asked.

"No. Come see. Its right next to your room." answered Hermione.

Harry, Ron and Hermione all rushed upstairs and ran right past Harrys room into the one next to his. Harry noticed the door said 'Hermione' in purple letters. When he walked in, he couldn't believe his eyes. The room was purple with a huge double bed, with matching dark purple quilt and pillows.

"Wow. Why they do all this?" Harry asked.

"Just...'cause." replied Ron. Harry walked out and started to check out the other rooms. The house was huge.

"Hey, theres no pipes banging." announced Harry.

"Yea, we finally got rid of the ghost upthere." replied Ron.

A few hours later:

Harry and Hermione entered the kitchen at around 6:00pm. Molly had screamed up the stairs for Ron to clean his bedroom, since his was the only messy one out of the three, so it was just Harry and Hermione walking downstairs. As soon as they entered the kitchen, the smell or sheperds pie and roast potatoes filled there senses. Molly was preparing what looked like a feast. A feast of trifle, apple crumble, sheperds pie, roast chicken and potatoes and much more.

"Wow, that smells really good Mrs Weasley." Announced Hermione as they entered the kitchen.

"Please dear. Call me Molly." She said smiling as she stirred the gravy."Could you two help Bill and Geaorge set up the tables. We have enough room inside but its so beautiful outside tonight." Harry just noticed how much bigger the kitchen had gotten. It was huge.

"Ok." They replied in unison.

Harry and Hermione walked out side to see Bill and George hiding behind the tables and throwing gnomes at each other, because the gnomes kept walking by, just intime to get pelted.

"Honestly, what did the gnomes do to you?" asked Hermione and put a hand on her hip.

"Shes right George." replied Bill and he flipped his and Georges tables right side and put them together. He then conjured a table cloth, plates and cutlery.

An hour later, the family sat down for dinner. Hermione, Ron and Harry sat together at the end, next to the twins. Before everyone started to dig in, Molly stood up to make an announcement.

"I'd like to welcome Harry to the family, first off." She started and everyone clapped and cheered. "Second, Hermione dear, i had a talk with your parents and Dumbledore the other day and we felt it best that ,at you choice ofcourse, you have the oppurtunity to move in here with us. You'll be able to study more frequently, use magic at limited amounts and overall feel more...wizardy or witchy in your case. What do you think?" Molly asked.

"Can i think about it through dinner and tell you guys after?" Molly nodded.

"Dont forget everyone, You have to wake up early tomorrow for the World Cup." Molly stated and everyone started to dig in.

"Wow, i can live here. What should i do Harry?" Hermione asked Harry as she served herself some trifle.

"It would be cool. We'd be able to study together..." Harry was cut off by Ron.

"No. She can study, and we'll watch."

"Oh haha Ron." replied Hermione.

"No, but it would be awesome. I mean you do have a room here." replied Ron a little more seriously.

"Yea, i think i'll do it." She said smiling and engulfed her bowl of trifle.

"Cool." Harry and Ron said in unison.

Later on, after everyone was full and bloated, Hermione stood up.

"Everyone, i've decided. Im gonna stay." Everyone cheered and clapped.

Later that night:

When everyone was asleep in there beds, Hermione sat awake. She didnt know if she had made the right decision. She stood up and put on her purple robe over her smiley pyjamas and walked over to Harry's room. She slowly opened the door and walked over to the bed.

"Harry." she shook him gently. "Harry."

"gurhg...yea." he said, rubbing his eyes.

"Im not sure i made the right decision, you know, about staying here." she said and sat down next to him.

"Sleep on it. Decide whether you'd be happier with your parents or with the Weasleys." Harry answered and put his arm around her waist to comfort her.

"Yea. Can i sleep in here tonight?" she asked. Harry was shocked but nodded in agreement and Hermione climbed in next to him. She rested her head on his chest and fell asleep. Harry smiled and put his head on hers and also fell asleep.

The next morning, Harry and Hermione were woken by a very shocked Arthur, probably shocked from the sight of them in the same bed. Hermione sat up and scratched her head, as if trying to remember why she was there. Then it hit her and she smiled.

"You two, get dressed and get ready to leave." Arthur said and walked downstairs.

"Harry, im gonna do it. I thought about it last night." Hermione told him.

"Great." he said and smiled too her before making his bed. Hermione left to go get dressed and Harry collapsed onto the bed smiling."Yes. Shes staying." Then he stood up and got dressed.

Harry met up with Hermione and Ron and they went downstairs. Arthur was standing with Ginny, packing the stuff. Hermione, Ron and Harry dropped there bags in a pile and grabbed a muffin that Molly had made.

"Thanks mum."

"Thanks Molly." said Hermione and Harry in unison.

"Okay. We are climbing Stoatshead Hill again." Arthur announced. Everyone groaned and whined. "I know, I know, but its necessary to see the Cup. Its only us going this year, so were going to have to find the portkey ourselves. We better start going. Gearge, Fred, Bill, Charlie and Percy will be apparating so its just us 5. Lets go." All 5 of them walked out of the house and started their journey up Stoatshead Hill.

"Making us walk...this far...should be a crime!" whined Ron as he began to crawl his way up.

"umm...Ron, we've only just started...theres still 2 miles left." stated Hermione. Ron collapsed."Honestly Ron. Get up." he didnt move. "Ron , i'll leave you here." He still didnt move so Hermione kept walking...that made him move.

"Hermione...wait up!" he yelled after her.

When they got to the top of the hill, everyone was gasping for air.

"Like i said...it should be a crime."whined Ron again. Everyone just ignored him, they were to out of breath.

"Okay everyone...look...for the...portkey." Arthur said, still gasping for air. All the kids and Arthur started to look until Ron yelled out that he found it. They walked over and all looked down.

"Its used underwear."announced Arthur. Hermione scrunched her nose up.

"Im not touching that." she said.

"I'd touch it for you Hermione, but it doesnt work that way...you gotta touch it." offered Harry.

"What if its not the portkey?" asked Ron to his father. Arthur got a stick and flipped the underwear over and there in plain letters was the word 'portkey'.

"Yea, its the portkey."

"They write it on the bottom. What if a muggle picks it up?" asked Hermione.

"They just think its a brand name or something. Okay everyone, fingers on it." Arthur replied. Hermione scrunched up her nose again and held out her finger. Everyone touched it in unison.

"Ewwwwww." Hermione whined.

Harry felt as though someone was pulling him off the ground by his skin. His feet left the ground and he kept banging into ron and Hermione, who were standing next to him. As they were speeding forward, swirls of colors sped by them and Harry could barly hear Hermiones 'ewwws'. Harry couldnt remove his finer if he tried, for it was stuck as tight as glue to the pair of underwear. Then, he touched ground, and everyone except arthur collapsed.

"Wheres Ginny?" asked Arthur.

"Down here!" came a muffled voice. Ginny was underneath all of them. Everyone stood up and Ginny could breath again.

"7:15 from Stoatshead hill." came Ludo Bagmans voice.

"Ludo. How are you?" asked rthur as the kids recovered. Bagman picked up the underwear and threw them in a box.

"Im fine. You?" he replied.

"Fine. Where's our spot this time?" he asked.

"Same spot as last time. Have a nice trip." Ludo said and went back to his post.

"Okay kids, this way."
