Disclaimer: because of a few reviews about Molly and Belinda's age I feel like I should probably explain some little side note I have about the story. Molly Weasley and Belinda Cross were best friend, yes it is possible. I do not mention that they actually went to school together but that Molly knew about Snape. The reason for this is because Molly was Belinda's closest family friend. She met Belinda when Belinda was still very young. There is almost a 7 year difference between them making it possible that Molly was just finishing Hogwarts when Belinda was just getting there and because Belinda's parents worked for the order of the phoenix and were killed while Belinda was in Hogwarts brings more evidence that Molly and Belinda's paths would have crossed. So please don't post about the age difference my best friend is 7 years older than me so yes Molly and Belinda can be best friends. And as for the Weasley children they do fit into the time line once everything is taken into consideration.

4.The Weasley's Visit.

The rain had finally stopped and the summer sun had finally started to brake the captivity of the clouds. Harry has been spending more and more time with his new friends. His uncle and aunt were becoming suspicious and a bit annoyed with him leaving the house so frequently. The risk of him being seen by their neighbors was driving Petunia crazy but there was no stopping him and she knew it would be useless to try. The sun was hot and bright as it shone down on Harry and his new friends, as they hung around the Cross' front yard basking in its warmth.

"Mum came back in a strange mood the other day" Amelia said to Harry as they watched Dominic practicing bowing techniques in the yard, "its like her mind is somewhere else."

"Yeah like she had seen a ghost." Dominic said as he dropped the broom stick he was practicing with and sat down on the grass to join the conversation.

"Well there are a few ghosts at Hogwarts," Harry said as he lay on the grass staring up at the blue sky feeling like he was at Hogwarts already.

"Not that kind of Ghost!" Amelia laughed.

"There were a lot of Ghosts at our old school," Dominic stated, "and the light spirits"

"The light spirits?" Harry asked.

"Yeah they came down from the sky in the lights of the far north," Dominic said, "in the muggle community they norther lights are just the suns rays reflecting off the ice cause the light to separate like a prism and they dance across the sky."

"It's a really good scientific cover up for what it really is!" Amelia continued, "really it is a magical form of transportation, kinda like the flew network but not really."

"Way more fun to travel but only works in Canada," Dominic sighed.

"Cool!" Harry said with a smile, "maybe someday I will get to go and check that out!"

"We'll take you!" Amelia smiled.

"Ok so if it wasn't a ghost that put your mum into a tail spin? Maybe it was a professor she hated when she was there," Harry said bitterly thinking of the professors he didn't enjoy spending time with, "I know a few that just make me mad as soon as I see them!"

"That might be it," Amelia said looking over her Hogwarts letter again.

"Perhaps, all I know is she has been acting really weird lately. She's really jumpy and I have even caught her crying over a picture," Dominic said with a sigh.

"Its probably best to let her be though," Amelia added, "its just...we worry about her."

"I'd worry too," Harry said with a smile.

The three friends basked in the sun in the front yard all afternoon. It was a lazy kind of day, with nothing better to do but stare up at the sky and watch the bird. Harry for once didn't mind being in the muggle world he was happy to just hang out without any worries at all. It reminded him a lot of the times Ron, Hermione and himself spent under the big trees and about the grounds of Hogwarts. Suddenly they were rudely interrupted by what sounded like a low grunt and the rustling of feet.

"Why would people like you want to hang out with dirt like Harry," Dudley said as he and his gang walked up to the front of the Cross house, his girlfriend hanging onto Dudley's arm.

"I see no dirt here..." Amelia said as she moved closer to Harry and her brother.

Harry rolled his eyes, "Amelia, Dominic, this is my cousin Dudley and his group of friends," Harry said trying to be polite.

"I can speak for myself, beside anyone who would want to be friends with you Potter must be trouble. I should teach the lot of you a lesson, but because I am a gentleman I will let the little wench get a head start for a running chance," Dudley said as he pointed at Amelia.

"You go near my sister and I'll have to hurt you!" Dominic said in a very defective tone.

"Ha! What could you do you little twig I could break you in half!" Dudley laughed.

"I'd like to see you try little piggy!" Dominic laughed as he walked closer to face Dudley.

"What did you call me!" Dudley asked as he cracked his knuckles.

"Your nothing!" Dominic said even more calmly that before

"That it!" Dudley yelled losing his temper and swinging his fat fist right at Dominic.

Dominic ducked rolled across the grass snatching up the broom stick and jabbing Dudley in the back, "come on piggy come and get me!" He taunted.

"Dominic, don't!" Amelia cried from the door.

"She's right you little wimp my Dudley will murder you!" Laughed Dudley's girlfriend.

"Don't talk about my brother that way you bitch!" Amelia said angrily

"You gonna stop me?" the girl said as she came and shoved Amelia

"Don't mess with me," Amelia said as she grabbed the girl by the collar of her shirt and threw her to the ground, "I could take you on right here right now!"

"Dudley, kick some ass!" The girl said a she ran away from Amelia and hid behind another one of the gang members.

"Chicken shit!" Amelia said as she rolled her eyes and walked back to Harry

"Doesn't look like you need any protecting at all," Harry said with a smile.

"Dominic taught me a thing or two," Amelia said, "Watch out Dom!"

"He could never catch me he's to fat and to slow!" Dominic laughed as he kept dodging Dudley and kept prodding him with the stick.

Dudley became furious he grabbed for the stick still trying to get at Dominic but was to slow and for every move Dudley tried to pull Dominic was ten steps ahead of him as it was. Finally, out of breath Dudley tried once more, feeling angry and exhausted he through himself at Dominic. Catching him off guard and with the full force of his weight Dominic fell to the ground under Dudley. The gang of ruffians laughed ecstatically.

"Hey Dudley!" Harry called trying to get his cousins attention.

Dudley looked over to Harry with triumph in his eyes. Harry rolled up his sleeve just past his hand to revealed only the very tip of his wand and Dudley's gaze changed from excitement to fear. This little distraction was what Dominic needed to regain control of the situation. Suddenly Dudley few off Dominic. Harry had created enough of a diversion for Dominic to get his breath back and his arms under Dudley. With all his might he forced the brute off himself and with one quick motion was back on his feet and brought the broom stick down hard across Dudley's shoulders, "take that!" Dominic said bracing himself for another short, quick attack, "come and get me!"

"You and your friends will get it Potter! I swear one of these days!" Dudley said as he rubbed his shoulders, "I'm outta here!" Dudley stated and his gang followed along.

"Good Job Dominic!" Harry said with a smile, "I should learn some of those moves."

"You had him pretty scared yourself! What did you do?" Dominic asked as he brushed the grass of his pants.

Harry slipped the end of his wand out of his sleeve and smiled, "Dudley is terrified of magic but my family thinks its wrong, its weird, and would never ever bring attention to the fact that I am magical. It is a wonderful asset to use against my mothers sister and her husband"

"How can your family feel that way?" Amelia said with a sad look on her face.

"Yeah it's a wonderful gift you have!" Dominic said, "but then again Lia, Dad didn't like magic at all, he forbade it!"

"Your dad didn't like it either?" Harry asked.

"Nope he wanted us to never know about it!" Amelia said

"Same with my uncle and my aunt!" Harry said, "They have no feeling for me at all Amelia, I don't belong in this world with them but I have to come there because I am safe from Voldemort with my mothers sister. It's a long story." Harry sighed and sat down.

"Well when you are ready to tell it, I will listen!"Amelia smiled.

"Thank's" Harry smiled and looked back at her.

"Hey Lia, you did pretty good against that goons girl!" Dominic said hugging his sister, "I guess all that training has payed off!"

"Yeah I'm not as innocent as I look!" Amelia smiled and flipped her brother over her shoulder. He landed on the grass flat on his back.

"Nice trick!" Harry laughed.

"Taught her everything she knows!" Dominic groaned as he shakingly got up off the ground.

"You should have expected that!" Amelia laughed.

"Yeah I should have!" Dominic sighed.

Harry laughed and took his place on the grass again

Harry couldn't believe how much he enjoyed being with Amelia and Dominic. He felt accepted and he never felt that with the Dursley's. He smiled to himself as he watched Mrs. Cross bring a plate of cookies and lemonade out to the step.

"Here kids!" She called with a smile.

"Mum don't you think we are a little old for this now?" Dominic said.

"No dear," She laughed, "their your favorite Dominic."

"It's a bit to muggleish sometimes you know!" Dominic sighed and then hesitating took a cookie.

Harry laughed and graciously accepted a glass of lemonade.

"Harry there you are we have been looking all over!" Called a familiar voice from down the street.

Harry turned slightly to see six familiar people with hair a fiery red coming down to meet him, "Weasleys!" Harry smiled.

"Oh Harry dear it is so good to see you!" Mrs. Weasley smiled as the rest of her family followed close behind

"Molly!" Mrs. Cross cried.

"Belinda!" Mrs. Weasley was awe struck

"I haven't seen you in years!" they both exclaimed happily

Dominic and Amelia looked at each other rolled their eyes and giggled.

"What was that all about?" Harry whispered.

"Tell you later!" Amelia giggled and watch her mother some more.

"Arthur!" Belinda smiled, "my you haven't changed much, either of you!"

"Neither have you dear!" Molly smiled, "these are four of our children, Ron, Ginny, Fred and George," she added.

"Oh and these are my twins!" Belinda smiled and Amelia and Dominic scrambled to there feet and smiled at the newcomers, "Amelia and Dominic, meet the Weasley's!"

"Hello!" The twins said together.

"Come in, come in, can I offer you anything, coffee, tea?" Belinda smiled as she ushered the whole group graciously into the small house.

Harry laughed as Arthur Weasley surveyed the muggle dwellings and admired everything that wasn't magical in the least little bit.

"And that" he whispered to Harry as they walked through the house.

"That's a computer Mr. Weasley," Harry said, "its almost like having a library at your fingertips and never having to sit down with a quill to write," Harry explained.

"How odd!" Mr. Weasley exclaimed and continued on.

Dominic and Amelia giggled to themselves watching the new comers admire the house.

"Why do you live like this?" Molly asked Belinda as they came into the kitchen and everyone gathered around the table.

"Well my children were raised as muggles, there father was one," Belinda smiled.

"It is fascinating," Arthur said as he continued to explore.

"You get used to it," Belinda laughed.

Dominic and Amelia ushered the children out of the kitchen and to the den where they would be able to talk freely.

"So you are all friends of Harry's?" Dominic asked looking at the lot around him.

"Yeah who are you?" Fred said.

"We've never seen you before and we know everyone!" George stated.

"That's because we aren't from around here!" Dominic said slyly.

"We're from Canada and attended Starysnow academy for magic there. We have just moved here. Mum is a new teacher at Hogwarts." Amelia smiled, "our mum was originally from here but moved to Canada before we were born."

"Would explain how she knows our mum and dad" Ginny said with a smile, "I'm Ginny by the way. The twins are Fred and George and Ron is Harry's best friend from school."

"Nice to meet you Ginny," Amelia smiled, "and the rest of you."

"Its to bad George and Fred aren't at Hogwarts anymore, they could have showed you everything there is to know about causing trouble and pulling pranks around there Dominic," Harry laughed.

"Really?" Dominic said with a smile

"Oh go on Harry!" Fred said sarcastically, "don't be makin' us out to be worse than we were!"

"Yeah we were good kids in school!" George tried to say without laughed.

"No you weren't!" Ron yelled, "you're the reason I have bad wrap!"

"No we're not!" George and Fred said together "that's Harry's fault!"

"Oh Dominic isn't much of a trouble maker per say, he's a Drama queen!" Amelia laughed.

"That's me!" Dominic smiled.

"A lot has happened since you left Belinda," Molly said as the three of them sat around the table.

"Well isn't that obvious your two got married and have four kids!" Belinda laughed.

"Oh we have more than four," Molly giggled.

"The other three are off in there own little worlds," Arthur laughed.

"You have seven children?" Amelia asked in amazement, "Molly how ever do you handle them?"

"Ginny's a doll," Molly stated, "it's the six boys that I worry about!"

"I'm glad I only had two!" Belinda laughed.

"What made you come back Belinda?" Arthur asked.

"Well, I'm afraid for my children," Belinda sighed, "the only place I believe to be safe for us is at Hogwarts."

"Dumbledore has been doing all in his power to combat the He Who Must Not Be Named but without wizards like your parents it is very difficult." Molly sighed, "we are trying our best."

"I know Molly," Belinda sighed, "there just isn't an easy way out of this. I though when I had fled that I would be safe, that my children would be fine living as Muggles but the mark came to me again, like it did when my parents were fighting it when all of our parents were. Who would have though that he could be so strong so quickly, it was like no one could have ever been prepared for that. That's why Severus scared me so much."

"He's on our side now, has been since only days after you left." Arthur said with a slight smile, "he is a great asset to our cause but puts himself in a lot of danger for it."

"So I have heard," Belinda said softly as tears began to swell in her eyes.

"He has changed a lot you know," Molly said trying to calm her friend.

"How could I ever trust him again after he kept that secret from me?" Belinda sobbed, "Molly you were my best friend you were the only one to know about him and I. How will I face him at Hogwarts?"

"You'll have to try to keep yourself safe," Molly sighed, "when He has found you he wants to be rid of you just like he was rid of your parents. Hogwarts is the only place safe for you."

"Yes, He Who Must Not Be Named is back and is working to eradicate all the people and there children who stood and now stand in his way. No one is safe anymore." Arthur said quietly trying not to bring to much attention to the subject at hand. "You should probably come back with us. Its not safe this close to Harry. He is the main target right now. You'll be safe with us till the term starts at Hogwarts."
