Harry Weasley

Chapter Twenty-Two: Summer before second year

Harry, Ron, Hermoine, Neville, Pansy and Draco all said their good byes once again before the train was back in London. They had all agreed that they weren't going to be able to show that they were friends to their parents because of their hatred for each other. They had all hoped that Mr. Malfoy and Mr. Parkinson wouldn't join the Dark Lord if he ever comes back, but weren't too sure. They agreed that they would OWL each other during the summer, and try to get together for Harry's birthday at the end of July. When they got back to Kings Cross, they went out and met their parents, and went their own ways.

When Harry and Ron met the rest of the clan, they said their good byes to Hermoine and reminded her that she was invited to come over after she got back from France. They had agreed to write and keep in touch. Hermoine gave both Ron and Harry hugs' good bye, but it seemed that the hug she gave Harry lasted a little longer. No one seemed to notice, and they said their good byes.

Harry walked up to his parents and asked if Charlie had made it back with Lightning to the burrow yet. When said that they should be back there when they got home, he was happy, and couldn't wait to get back. They all piled into the Ford Augula and went speeding off toward the burrow. They were talking about what happened during the year, and what kind of new friends that they made. Mr and Mrs. Weasley were quite surprised that Harry and Ron had befriended Draco Malfoy, but they were happy that he was a friend of theirs.

When they got to the burrow, Harry quickly carried his trunk up to his room, then ran down to where Charlie was standing waiting with Lightning. "Was she any trouble Charlie? Did she do all right with the traveling?" Harry was petting her while talking to his older brother with pride.

"She did fine Harry, she took the traveling like a trooper. In fact she slept most of the way. We ended up traveling along the ancient wizards' road from Hogwart's to London. It was a long and arduous journey, but it was fun. I will have to send an Owl to Hagrid thanking him on telling me about it. She's been waiting for you Harry, she has a nice stall set up in dad's old workshop. Go see her, I will send Ron down in a few minutes." Charlie left his brother to tend to his unicorn and went inside.

The rest of the summer went by rather quickly with Hermoine coming over toward the middle of July, and spending the rest of the summer with them. Draco, Pansy and Neville came over for Harry's birthday, and surprisingly Draco and Pansy along with Neville ended up staying for the rest of the summer. It seems that Lucious and Mr. Parkinson decided that if their children could bury the hatchet with the Weasley's, so could they. The birthday party was a blast that had them all playing quidditch and eating lots of food.

The morning of Harry's birthday shone a bright and cheerful one. Harry woke up to find that there was a delicious aroma of all his favorite foods coming up from the kitchen. When he went downstairs, he found Draco, Neville and Pansy down there waiting for the rest of the clan. "Good morning you three. I'm glad that you two could come Draco and Pansy. It looks like all the bad feelings between our families is going to naught. Good to see you to Neville, Ginny will be down in a few minutes." Harry said this last part with a wink to the blushing Neville. He then noticed that Draco, Neville and Pansy had their trunks with them. He knew that Neville was going to stay for the rest of the summer, but he didn't think that Draco and Pansy was going to be able to. "So you and Pansy are able to stay for the rest of the summer then Draco. This is going to be a fun summer, we finally have enough people here to play two full teams for quidditch." Harry patted Draco and Pansy on the back welcoming them there. "Since Neville is going to be staying in Ron's room, looks like your bunking in my room Draco, and I'm sure that there is plenty of room in Ginny's room for you Pansy with Hermoine, isn't their mom?" Harry looked over at his mother while she cooked breakfast.

"Yes there is, and if there isn't, we can always make her room bigger with a spell. I think that Luna is going to be spending the rest of the summer also, so we probably will have to make them bigger. Oh you all will be having fun this summer." She went back to her cooking whistling and being happy.

"Thank you Mrs. Weasley, that sounds great." Draco and Pansy were happy to be with such a big happy family for they were both only children. They all sat there drinking pumpkin juice waiting for the rest of the clan to come downstairs. After about half hour wait and them sitting there talking, the rest of the clan were making their way downstairs.

After everyone greeted the newcomers, and wished Harry happy birthday, they sat down to a big breakfast. It seemed that no one paid any attention to having Draco and Pansy there, they all accepted that Harry, Ron and Hermoine had made friends with them, and were glad that they were able to come for Harry's birthday. They all had a big breakfast talking and chatting about what they were going to do that day. Luna showed up shortly after breakfast and joined them for the rest of the day.

They spent the morning playing quidditch with the teams being on Harry's Regulars, Seeker and captain. Harry. Chasers: Ginny, Luna and Pansy. Beaters: George and Neville and Keeper: Bill. On Dracos Dragons: Seeker and Captain: Draco, Chasers, Hermoine, Arthur and Molly, Beaters: Fred and Percy and Keeper, Ron.

They played the best of three games, and the first two went quite quickly when Harry caught the Snitch in the first five minutes in the first game, and Draco caught it just after the five minute mark in the Second game. The third game was a tight game that the score went back and forth, with a high scoring game of 360 to 210 in favor of Draco's Dragons, when Harry spotted the Snitch, he hoped that one of his Chasers could score one more time before he went for the Snitch, but once he saw that Draco also saw the Snitch, he decided that he had to go and get it quickly. Harry went into a steep dive for the Snitch, and as he went to catch it, Ginny through one last score and Harry caught the Snitch so that the final score was 370 to 360 in favor of Harry's Regulars.

After they got done with the quidditch game, they went in to get showered, and have lunch. Ron, who was in charge of making sure Harry was the last one down, had made sure that Harry was the last one to get into the shower by challenging him to a 'quick' game of chess. 1 and ½ hours later after Ron got out of the shower, Harry finally got into the shower, grumbling about being late for lunch on his birthday. After getting dressed in a pair of jeans and an emerald green T-shirt, he went down to what he was hoping still being food on the table. He got downstairs and found it awfully quiet, so he went into the kitchen in hopes of getting some food. "Mom, sorry I'm late in getting..." Harry was struck speechless when all of a sudden there was a loud "surprise" ring out throughout the Burrow's kitchen and lower floor. He found his hole family, and his friends that were staying with them for the summer. There were also Professor's Dumbledore and McGonagall along with Hagrid. There was a table that was laden to overflowing with gifts, and a spread of all his favorite foods. He sat at the head of the table to eat lunch blushing.

After lunch, they went to the living room to open presents. Harry was surprised at all the gifts that he got, and found some interesting things there. The professors got him a pensieve and a book on different care of unicorns. Hagrid also got him a leash and collar for Lightning. The male Gryffindors that weren't there got him a new quidditch box of equipment, and the girls got him all kinds of stuff for Lightning. Draco and Pansy got him a book on the Potter family line, and genealogy. Ginny got him a book on seeker skills from around the world, and a signed poster of his favorite team Puddlemore United. Mr and Mrs. Weasley got him some new robes and sweets. Fred and George got him the new line up from Zonkos in Hogsmeade. Ron got him a signed poster from the Chudley Cannons and a book on Ancient Charms from around the world. Luna got him a book on different ancient creatures that were thought to be either extinct or non excitant. Neville got him a book on herbology and what different plants are good for healing and potions. Percy got him a book on the history of the Aurors and the ministry. Charlie got him a book on Dragons and other magical creatures and their dangers. Bill got him something that he had found on one of his trips in Egypt, that he had already found not to be cursed, but a good luck charm.

Harry looked at the table, and found that there were two more gifts on it, and only one person that he knows of that he hasn't gotten one from. That was Hermoine, and he just wasn't sure who the other gift was from. Harry decided to open the one from Hermoine first, so he pulled the large box toward's him. He opened the present and looked inside the box. What he found inside the box surprised him, but he had a smile. "Thank you Mione, it is definitely nothing I would have thought that I would like." He pulled out a potion bottle, and a note. When he opened the note, he read it and found that it said, 'when you drink this potion, your wish will happen in four years time from the drinking of this potion. Make sure that the wish is something that you have lost, and wish to have back later on.'

Harry smiled and drank the potion hoping that his wish will come true. When he put it down, he went over and hugged Hermoine and the rest of the group that was there. "Thank you everyone for what you got me. I appreciate it all." It was at this time that Harry remembered the other package, and went to open it. When he opened it, he found that there was a mirror in it, and a note saying, 'say the name of your birth parents and you will be able to talk to them.'

Harry gasped and looked for a note on whom it had been sent by. There was no sign of who might have sent it, but then he found a small emblem on the bottom of the mirror of a stag, dog, wolf and rat. He didn't know what it meant, but was sure that when he used it, he would find out.

"Thank you for everything all. I am happy to have so many friends. So what would everyone like to do tonight now." Harry took all his presents up to his room and came back down for the rest of the party. The party lasted for another couple of hours, and then the professors had to go, and everyone else went off to bed. The rest of the summer went well, and there wasn't any real problem til there was only a couple of weeks before they went back to school.
