Lila and Ron's Past

Chapter Three

Disclaimer: I do NOT own the ORIGINAL Harry Potter characters, but I do own the new ones I have added. Enjoy...

"HARRY! DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH TROUBLE YOU ARE GOING TO BE IN?" Jack yelled at the top of his lungs. Harry had hope. He didn't think this. He remembered when he used magic in his third year when he blew up Aunt Marge.

"I USED MAGIC A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO OUTSIDE OF HOGWARTS! I DIDN'T GET INTO THAT MUCH TROUBLE!" Harry stated quickly, his voice loud and overpowering Uncle Vernon's whimpering. Jack helped him up and gave Harry the look of stupidity.

"SHE WASN'T UNCONCIOUS AT ALL! Thank HEAVENS Vernon is alright. You might be off the hook this time. Usually you would get a letter to have a trial by now." Jack said. He spoke to soon because an owl was pecking at the window softly, a note tied to it's leg. Lila took it off. It read:

Mr. Harry Potter,

You have disobeyed the law of no underage wizardry allowed while being in a muggle town. Since this is your second warning, you are to be at my (Cornelius Fudge's) office week before the first day of school.

Sincerely,

Cornelius Fudge

Lila handed it to Harry. He simply nodded, even though fear was raging inside of him. He couldn't let the others know it.

"Vernon, Petunia, could Harry simply stay with us the rest of the summer?" Jack asked. Vernon nodded continuously

"TAKE HIM! TAKE HIM! THIS MAGIC! IT'S ABSOLUTELY INSANE!" Vernon yelled, Him and Petunia ran out of the house.

With a flick of a wand, Jack said "ACCIO HARRY'S BELONGINGS" and they all entered through the open window, onto the floor next to Jack. "Harry, take your stuff and go into the guest room next to Lila's room. You can settle in there and for the next month you will be staying with us." Harry smiled and nodded. Lila went up with him.

"I'll come with you, to, well, you know, keep you company and all." Lila said, her cheeks rosy.

"Sure." Harry said, feeling a little relieved, but he was a little confused.

"How does your dad know so much about violations and illegal stuff?"

"Harry, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that doing magic under age is illegal! DUH!" she said. Harry smiled at her sarcasm. She reminded him of Hermione. "My dad IS part of the ministry, though!" She added. Harry's jaw hung open.

"REALLY? HOW? WHY DO YOU LIVE HERE THEN?" He said quickly. Lila giggled.

"Yes, really. We are here for muggle observations. He wants to live in their environment and observe them better." Lila said. Harry nodded in amusement. That was pretty cool.

Suddenly, Pig, Ron's owl flew in through the window. He bounced all over the place. He went from wall to wall until he landed on his face flat on the dresser.

"A letter from Ron! WOW! I haven't spoken to him since we were six!" Lila said. Harry looked puzzled. "Our fathers are good friends and they work together. Ron doesn't like to talk to me much anymore because when we were six, I tormented him." She smirked.

"What did you do?" Harry asked, curiosity getting the better of him. Lila's smirk became wider.

"In front of all the other worker's children, I pulled Ron's pants all the way down and threw a spider down his shirt. He was red in the cheeks and crying. He was so embarrassed. Of course, I was punished for a week with out being able to eat dessert for a whole week, but I got over it. He never did." Lila started to unfold the paper. After reading it, she was laughing so hard, tears streamed down her cheeks. Harry grabbed it and started to read.

Lila,

I heard about Harry. I know he is there. I am warning you, any of the next letters I send in the next month are for Harry, NOT YOU! I will never forgive you for making me look like an idiot! (Harry snorted, knowing that it didn't take much for that to happen) By the way, I know that spider wasn't real and I will be sure to have Fred and George on you!

Ron

Harry smiled at his friend's obvious stupidity. Lila hugged her cousin, after telling Ron in a letter how she understood. Pig went off with the note.

"Thanks for being here, Harry. This next month will be okay and we WILL make it through Fudge. "Lila exclaimed. Harry smiled.

"Thank you for helping me out. You are the best family I ever had!" And with that, Lila and Harry spent the rest of the day telling stupid stories about Ron and just laughing. Harry loved his family. He definitely felt right at home.
