CH 4: Home Sweet Home

It was a quiet night like any other as Ginny Weasley sat in front of her window staring off into space. It's been over year already. Where are you Harry? She reached out to pick up the small framed photo sitting by her side. It was a Christmas present from Colin Creevey. It showed Harry standing over Ginny stroking her hair as she slept in the Gryffindor common room. She didn't know when it happened but it warmed her inside to know that it had. Sighing quietly she placed the photo on her desk and closed her curtains as she prepared to go to sleep.

"Harry! What do you mean you're not coming back with me?" Ron asked irate as he hurled his suitcase down to the ground.

"I haven't finished my training yet Ron." Harry replied calmly crossing his muscular arms over his chest. "I need to train for awhile longer and then I'll be ready to go home."

"Then I'm staying as well. There has to be a few more tricks I can learn from Master Roshi." Ron replied defiantly.

"No Ron, go home. Tell Ginny and everyone that I'm fine." Harry closed his eyes and sighed. "You need to reassure everyone that I'm fine or else they will start to worry needlessly."

"Contact Dumbledore tell him to tell everyone else I'm staying here with you."

"Ron please." Harry finally opened his eyes and begged his friend. "I need you to go home and tell everyone that I'm fine."

Ron looked over at his friend suspiciously, "What's going on Harry?"

Harry dropped his head and concentrated on his feet. "Nothing is going on Ron. I just need a little bit more training before I go home." Looking back up at his friend Harry managed a small smile. "Trust me Ron I'll be home before you know it."

Accepting defeat Ron picked up his suitcase and walked out the door to the awaiting vehicle. "Summer Harry. I'll give you till the end of summer. If you're not home by the end of summer I'm coming back out here and dragging you home."

"That's a deal Ron." Harry called out as his best friend left.

"Now Harry, ready to be a Super Saiyan?" Goku asked as he walked in the room.

"Yep ready as I'll ever be."

End of Summer

"Come on now the lot of you will be late." Mrs. Weasley called out getting the attention of everyone.

Summer had come and gone without Harry. Ron got home in time to spend most of the summer with his family showing off his new found abilities and guaranteeing to Ginny that Harry was fine.

"Ginny trust me Harry is fine. We'll probably see him at the station. He promised me that he'll be back by the end of summer." Ron told her when he saw a flash of worry in her eyes. Harry I swear if you're not at the station I'm going to personally Kamehameha you to death. Flashing a smile Ron picked up his trunk and hers with one hand before dumping them in the back of the cars borrowed from the Ministry of Magic.

"Oh for crying out loud Ron can you just not show off for once?" Hermione asked as she jumped into the vehicle.

"Yea well…" Red-faced Ron followed her in glaring at Ginny as she stifled a giggle that threatened to escape.

"Alright then let's get going."

"Maybe he's already at school." Ron said as they boarded the train.

"Maybe…" Ginny mumbled as she made her way to the prefect compartment.

Dammit Harry where are you?

"Excuse me can you hurry up a bit I'm trying to get on as well you know."

"Sorry" Ron mumbled as an unknown student pushed past him into the train. Well might as well find someone to sit with considering I lost my prefect badge. Ron made his way into the main area when he heard a voice that still boiled his blood.

"Well well if it isn't the Weasel. Missed you last year, what happened your parents couldn't afford to buy your books?" Draco Malfoy sneered as he pushed his way into a compartment. "Where is the filthy Mudblood friend of yours? Oh and your hero Potty?"

"Don't push me Draco you wouldn't like the result." Ron replied menacingly resisting the urge to whip off his baggy shirt to show his muscles.

"Why is that Weasel? You think you can best me in a deul? Or perhaps even in a fight?" Draco replied smugly as he propped his feet up. "Goyle. Crabbe. Show this Weasel where his compartment is."

Sensing the two brute behind him Ron stepped back and drove his elbows into their stomach making them fall to the ground gasping for breath. "Next time Draco that's going to be you on the floor." Ron replied as his smirked at Draco's astonished face.

"Nice to see you making new friends Ron."

The familiar voice had Ron turning with a smile on his face. "Neville!" Ron wrapped him a tight embrace. "How are you?"

"Doing better now that I can breathe." Neville replied gasping. "have you been working out?"

"A little." Ron replied sheepishly. "You have a compartment yet?"

"Yea it's me and Luna so far you want to join us?" Neville replied walking to the front of the train.

"Yea. Let me just get my trunk." Ron grabbed his trunk and lifted it over his head as he followed Neville. "So how was last year?"

"Horrible. Slytherin won the Quidditch Cup and the House Cup." Neville shook his head. "Without you and Harry our House team was horrible. The only bright spot was Ginny as Chaser. Well here we are." Neville opened he door and waited for Ron the put up his trunk and sit down before entering himself.

"Hello Ron." Luna Lovegood greeted him as he sat down. "How was your adventure?"

"Adventure?" Ron asked quizzically. "What adventure?"

"You were off chasing Horned Monkey Toads all last year." Luna stated matter-of-factly. "My father told me he had seen Harry Potter and a boy with bright red hair chasing them. It's in the Quibbler."

Ron laughed quietly and shook his head. Man I missed Hogwarts. Ron and Neville continued to talk as Luna read her magazine.

"Mind if we take these seats?"

"No go ahead." Ron replied not bothering to look up. "So Neville are you serious? Dean and Seamus did that to Draco?"

"HARRY!" Neville shouted so suddenly that it made Ron jump. "Is that really you?"

Ron turned and saw his best friend smiling down at him. He was dressed in the same orange gi that he had been training in.

"See Ron told you I wouldn't be late."
