Harry Potter and The Power of Two
vs
The Power of one
Chapter Six: The Summer
The train ride home was normal. Hermione showed the jar with Rita Skeeter in her animagus form. Malfoy and his two goons dropped by Harry's compartment. Malfoy was not able to walk away from the affair.
Harry and Ginny said there goodbyes to their friends. Harry gave Fred and George the winnings from the tournament and told them to get Ron some nicer dress robes. Molly was crying and hugging Harry and Ginny. After they said their goodbyes, Harry and Ginny walked over to Uncle Vernon. "Get in car and do not ruin my new seats. Vernon said. The trip to Number Four Privet Drive was long and quiet. Harry and Ginny talked to each other through their link. Ginny was already fuming, and had planned to get the Dursley's in line. She had no love for the Dursley's at all, she loathed them. After seeing how they treated Harry, they were about to get a taste of what they dished out.
Once Vernon had pulled into the driveway, Harry and Ginny started pulling out their trunks and lugged them into the house. As Harry was about to close the front door as a curiously familiar looking tabby cat ran inside. When Harry turned around, Professor McGonagall appeared. McGonagall greeted Vernon who look very scared and said "I will be setting up Mr. Potter's bedroom so that it will be able to fit Mrs. Potter too. She then flicked her wand, and Harry and Ginny's trunks floated up the stairs and into the smallest bedroom. The three followed after the floating trunks.
McGonagall spent ten minutes casting spells on every object in the room and walls, floor and ceiling. The room looked no different until she said, "Resize for the Potter's," while tapping the door with her wand. The room suddenly transformed into a room that might be found at Hogwarts. The room itself grew larger and the wall turned from plain white to very nice rich wood paneled walls. The bed grew bigger and turned into a four poster. All of Dudley's old toys turned into lamps, tables, rugs, a second desk, and a fireplace.
Harry and Ginny were impressed, to say the least, with Professor McGonagall's skills in transfiguration. "To return the room back to normal, just say 'Revert back to normal' while tapping your wand on the door. The room will then change back to the way it was. The enchantments will last about four years. So each summer you can have the room change itself. Now then, I have things I need to get done at Hogwarts. Make sure to do your summer homework, and I will see you next term." McGonagall said. She then left with a loud pop. Harry and Ginny decided to unpack their things. After unpacking, Ginny looked to Harry and said, "Harry, can I please use the ring that goes on the wand to hide underage magic?" Harry nodded and got out the chest that Dobby gave him and handed the ring to Ginny. She took the ring, slipped it onto her wand, and said, "Come Harry, we have some business to take care of." She promptly opened the door and walked down stairs.
Harry quickly rushed after Ginny. He found her in the kitchen where she was talking in a very cold voice. "Now listen here Dursley's, and listen well. Things around here are going to change." Uncle Vernon was turning purple and yelled, "I will not have you speaking to us like that! All you are is a freak, just like him." Vernon was not able to say another word, as he fell to floor stiff as a board.
Ginny again spoke, "Before I was so rudely interrupted, I was telling you that my dad works at the Ministry of Magic. He is a department head. As such, I, unlike Harry, can do underage magic and get way with it. Harry is not your slave! He is not just someone that you can throw in a cupboard! This summer Harry and I will do the gardening and nothing else. Have that fat lard of a thing you call a son do some work for once. Because if he had to live on his own right now he would be helpless, and would more than likely become a bum. Well anyway, we will stay out your way, you stay out of ours."
After that, Ginny took Harry's hand, and they went upstairs. She changed her clothes and put on a skirt that was about six inches above the knee, and a backless halter top. Ginny then asked, "Harry can you show me around, maybe see the park?" It took him a minute to stop staring at her. He was used to seeing Ginny in school robes. He could not believe how attractive she was. He nodded silently and led her outside.
They developed a route in the mornings where they would go out for a bit of a run and do a few exercises. Then they would work on the garden. Before lunch, they did their summer homework, and then eat. After lunch, they practiced magic whether it was defense magic, or Ginny teaching Harry a few household spells. Even though they shared knowledge, they still had to try the spells for themselves. Harry helped Ginny with the mind arts and Wandless magic, and then practiced on their combined magic. Meaning both would do the same spell. Around four o'clock each day, Harry and Ginny would go to the park until six, which was dinner time.
At dinner Dudley, instead of staring at the TV, would stare at Ginny. Ginny mostly wore skirts that were above the knee, short shorts, halter tops, tube tops, and tank tops. Ginny did not mind Dudley staring at her because she knew it would drive him crazy knowing that she was Harry's, and that Harry was hers. Before school was out she transfigured some clothing, a natural gift from her mother. Ginny transfigured her old clothes into summer clothing. She was quite satisfied with the results. She also transfigured Harry's old Muggle clothes into summer shorts, tank tops and his old shirts into something more fashionable. She was also happy that both her and Harry were getting a nice tan.
After dinner Harry and Ginny hung out together in their room, mostly playing games. Ginny would sometimes turn on a small Wizarding Wireless radio that Bill gave her a few years ago and dance with Harry. Harry was quickly becoming a great dancer. When they danced, Ginny always wore a backless halter top, because she knew Harry loved to have his hands on her bare back. Other times they would write letters to friends. Hedwig had taken a liking to Ginny. All in all, Harry and Ginny were having their best summer yet. Just being with each other made them happy.
Harry and Ginny's great summer came to a halt on one summer night. They were out for walk in the park one night and saw it was getting late. So they walked back to number four where they met Dudley. "Oh I see it's the two freaks taking a love walk." Dudley said with a sneer to which Harry replied, "Oh, and how is Ittle Duddikins doing?" "Shut up freak! At least I'm not the one saying some boys name in my sleep! Cedric is your boyfriend yes? You've been cheating on your wife!" Ginny was about to slap Dudley when she felt a chill. She moved next to Harry, took his hand, and then took out her wand. Harry did the same, and Ginny took off the anti-detection ring off her wand.
Dudley yelled, "What are you doing to me!" Harry and Ginny saw the Dementor floating nearby. "Come back here, your running right at it!" Harry yelled. The Dementor grabbed Dudley suddenly and Harry and Ginny raised their wands. "Expecto Patonum!" They shouted at the same time. Golden wisps came out of their wands and formed a golden ball, which became a golden Phoenix. The Phoenix flew at the Dementor that had a hold of Dudley. When the claws of Phoenix touched the Dementor, it made a horrible noise, and then the only thing left was the Dementor's cloak.
The other Dementor started to glide away, but the Patronus was too quick, and the other Dementor also disappeared. Ginny noticed where the pile of robes on the ground laid silver balls appeared then disappeared. Ginny gasped, "Harry look! The souls the Dementor had taken, they're free! Can you see? They're free!" Harry saw what Ginny was talking about and couldn't help but smile.
Harry saw Mrs. Figg running over to them. She was muttering something about killing Mundungus Fletcher. Harry and Ginny picked Dudley up off of the ground. Ginny went to put her wand away when Mrs. Figg said sharply, "Girl, keep that wand out! I'm a Squib, and I'm completely useless if they come back. You two can dive them away. You keep those wands out!" When the group almost reached number four, there was a loud pop, then suddenly an invisibility cloak slid of off Mundungus. Mrs. Figg started to yell at him until he left five minutes later, again he left with a pop. Mrs. Figg walked Harry, Ginny, and what she called the fat lump to the door.
Once inside, Aunt Petunia started to fuss over what she still considered to be her little boy. Harry and Ginny were going upstairs when they heard Dudley say "them". "Freaks get over here now!" Vernon yelled. Once the two soul mates were in the kitchen, Vernon asked, "What did you do to Dudley?" He was interrupted by an owl though, which angered him even further. He started bellowing that he was not going to have owls in his house. Harry and Ginny read the letter which said the same thing as before, that they were expelled from Hogwarts. Then anther owl flew in, to Uncle Vernon's dismay. The letter was from Ginny's dad and said for them to stay put. Dumbledore was taking care of the problem.
Vernon had Dudley describe what happened to him, and Aunt Petunia asked them what Dementors were doing there. Another owl flew in, this one again from the Ministry. Then another one flew in from Sirius. Uncle Vernon was fed up, and told the two soul mates to leave. Then again, another owl flew into the kitchen. Aunt Petunia opened the letter very slowly. "REMEMBER MY LAST, PETUNIA!" After a minute his aunt said, "They have to stay." And after Vernon had had his say, he relented and told them to go to bed. Which Harry and Ginny complied with happily.
Harry and Ginny spent the following four days in their room. They only did the exercises that could be done in their large bedroom. Harry called for Dobby, and a second later the house elf appeared and bowed. "What can Dobby do for Harry Potter sir and his beautiful soul mate?" Harry told Dobby that he was looking for a book about England's Wizarding laws. Possibly old, or uncommon laws that he could use to his advantage. "When I worked for the evil Malfoy's, they had a handwritten book about old laws that allowed them to do most anything. Dobby could borrow the book for you for a few weeks and put it back before anyone ever knew it was missing!" Dobby said enthused.
"That sounds perfect Dobby! Get it, but be careful." Harry replied to the elf. Dobby nodded and left with a pop. About five minutes later Dobby appeared with the book. "I placed a decoy book on the shelf. You have a week or two to read it before Dobby needs to put it back, less Master Malfoy find out." Dobby said. Harry nodded and thanked him. He opened the book and began reading. All the two did was read the book, and on Ginny's insistence did their exercises and practiced the mind arts. Harry did not complain about the exercises. If possible, it caused Ginny to look even better in a skirt and tank top then before.
On the fourth day Harry had a plan that was developing. They were going to be ready for the hearing. Fudge was definitely going to be in for big a surprise. That night Harry and Ginny knew the Advance guard had arrived when they heard Tonks trip over something. The Order had tricked the Dursley's into thinking that they had won a prize for their garden. Harry and Ginny went downstairs to find a group of people in the kitchen, some that he already knew. Harry saw Remus and waved to him. After a few minutes of chatting, Harry and Ginny went upstairs to pack, and Tonks followed.
Once up in the room Harry said, "Gin you better get out your winter cloak, it's going to be a cold flight, and all you're wearing is shorts and tank top." "I don't get it. This room almost looks like a room you would find at Hogwarts." Tonks said. "Professor McGonagall set this up for me and Harry." Ginny replied. Tonks looked in a mirror and changed her hair color from purple to bright pink. Harry and Ginny started to throw all of their things in their trunks rather quickly. Tonks looked over and then said, "I see why Harry fell for you Ginny. You're a very attractive girl, and you don't mind showing it. Well, we need to get going here, let me help you." Tonks took out her wand and cast the 'pack' charm to make things easier on them.
All of Harry's and Ginny's stuff floated into the trunks. Harry then took out his wand, tapped it on the door, and said, "Revert back to normal." Everything in the room transformed back into its original form and floated to their proper spots. The wall turned back to plain white, and the room shrank back to normal size. "Wow! Now that is cool McGonagall. Not bad, not bad at all. We need to be off now." Tonks said. Harry and Ginny put on their winter cloaks and lugged their trunks downstairs with their brooms in their other hands.
Ten minutes later the large group was mostly invisible and air born. The trip was long because Moody was paranoid and kept changing directions. After a long and cold flight, the group landed on one lone street in London. Moody took out a device and started to turn off the lights on the street. Harry and Ginny were then handed a sheet a paper that read, 'The headquarters for the Order of the Phoenix may be found at Number Twelve Grimauld Place, London.'
Moody then took the piece of paper and burned it. The group led Harry and Ginny into the dark house. Molly took Harry and Ginny up the stairs and into Ron's room. "Have them show you two where you'll be sleeping. Molly said. She then rushed down the stairs to join the others. As soon as Harry had opened the door, they were rushed by Hermione. All they saw was a lot of brown bushy hair. Hermione then started to ramble on without taking a breath. Ron told her to breathe. He and Hermione started to apologies that they couldn't write much because of Dumbledore's orders, and all Ginny said was, "Well thank you, but could you show us where Harry and I will be sleeping?"
"Well normally Harry would sleep in here, but because of your bond thingy Mom made me and Hermione clean up one of the master bedrooms. Come and we will show you where your room's at. Oh, and you better thank us properly, because cleaning that room was not fun." Ron said. Ron and Hermione led Harry and Ginny up another set of stairs and up to a wooden door. Ron opened the door and Harry saw a large room that had a fireplace to the right, with a few armchairs in front of it. At the back of the room was a raised floor which had a large Four Poster bed. The hangings were of snakes, not surprisingly.
On the left side of the room was a door which led to a small bathroom. Harry and Ginny started to unpack while Ron and Hermione filled them in on what was going on. Then Hermione asked how they had managed to destroy two Dementor's. Harry told Hermione his theory on the matter, and a few minutes later Fred and George came in to talk with the group.
