Harry Age: 11

Harry, Remus, Bill, and Melissa appeared in the middle of a kitchen that seemed to be alive and doing all the housework of its own free will. A matronly woman suddenly appeared.

"Oh, Bill you're here! And you brought your student." She said walking over and sizing up Harry. He smiled and bowed to her.

"It is a pleasure Mrs. Weasley, My name is James Evans, and I would like to thank you for doing this for me." The woman blushed and smiled.

"Nonsense James dear." She said and then waved to the door. "Go ahead and make yourselves at home. Ron is upstairs with Ginny; they are about James age you can go and visit." She said and Harry nodded.

Harry left the kitchen and when Remus, Melissa, and Bill Joined Charlie and Mr. Weasley in the Sitting Room, Harry went up the stairs listening for voices. He heard them in a room, four sets. Harry knocked lightly and then opened the door to see four redheads sitting on various beds in what appeared to be the older boys' room.

"Hello there! You must be Bill's friend." The young girl, most likely Ginny, said slowly, nodded calmly to the boy, and gestured to the bed next to her. Harry took the seat and smiled at the others. The boys nodded and instantly included him in there plans. Harry offered to do some spell work for them since the ministry did not monitor his wand.

Fred and George stared at him slack jawed and began nodding they all rearranged there plans accordingly and Harry really got into the plans smiling softly at all the things that they had come up with.

A few hours later they were all sitting at the dining room table Mrs. Weasley glaring at the twins. Percy Glaring at Ron and Ginny and Harry, Melissa, Remus, Bill, and Charlie all laughing there arses off at the state Percy was in. All the clothes that Percy attempted to donn would become a violet Tuxedo with a bright yellow flower in the lapel. He had a rainbow afro and was wearing giant shoes and a clown makeup and the final touch; a Big red nose.

Mr. and Mrs. Weasley finally broke down laughing with the rest of them except Percy when the boy attempted to speak. "I want you to turn me back to normal!" his voice was high and squeaky, his eyes narrowed, and Harry continued laughing hysterically.

After dinner Harry went and opened his present from Bill, a Large Book on Advanced Charms with a note scrawled on the inside cover.

Harry,

Thought you could use some reading material for during the boring classes.

-Bill

Harry smiled and placed the book to the side and got similar gifts from Melissa, Transfiguration, Snape, Potions, and Remus, DADA. When he noticed another gift from the Weasley's he opened and saw a package of fudge and smiled appreciatively at her. She nodded evenly to Harry and then he turned grabbing a bag and put his gifts inside. He put them away and as he was getting up to leave he noted that the Weasleys looked disheartened and looked at Melissa.

"Can I come back to visit once in a while?" he asked Melissa and she nodded. "As long as it's okay with Molly." She said simply, Harry nodded softly, and Molly beamed at him as he walked to Melissa who produced a portkey for him and Remus to return home with her.

Harry and Remus took the portkey and they were gone in a flash ending up in Potter Manor. Melissa yawned softly and she and Harry headed on up to bed while Remus decided to some reading in the library. Harry went to sleep slowly, his mind thinking about the things that had happened in the last 24 hours. He wondered what the rest of the summer would be like.

Harry Age: 11 (September 1st)

Harry had spent the rest of the summer training during the afternoons and hanging out with the Weasley's during the evenings. He was now considered a member of the family. He smiled as he thought about the things that had happened so quickly. Harry had gotten his letter and gone on a trip with the Weasley's to get school supplies. He and the Younger Weasley's had been on a Pranking Spree. They were planning pranks for the school year, which really seemed to bum out Ginny.

Harry had sat down with her one day to talk about it and he smiled at the memory. It had been the first time he had actually felt like he was part of the Weasley family.

Flashback

Harry walked over to Ginny sitting in the backyard watching the wind blow the trees and he sat next to her noting her sad face. He turned to study her as she sniffled slightly.

"Gin, what's up?" he asked worried like an older brother she smiled at him. "I am just sad that all my brothers are leaving me here all alone." She said slowly and chuckled. "And you, you're like the long lost brother I never had. I always wanted someone who is like you as a brother. Now you're here and your suddenly leaving me alone again." She said and then started to cry as she hugged Harry tightly.

Harry had held her for a few hours till the sun was long gone. He had stood her up and walked her back inside. She was dead tired and leaned against him as he walked her to her room. He left her there and walked downstairs to floo back to Potter Manor to get to see Melissa.

End Flashback

Harry had been amazed that she had considered him one of her brothers. He smiled at the memory and continued checking his trunk. He finally locked it and rolled it down the stairs to where Remus and Bill were waiting to take him to the station. Melissa had explained the system to him and he was sure he could do it.

Harry allowed himself and his trunk to be Portkeyed to a small Alley near King's Cross station. Harry had walked into the station, managed to get through the barrier, entering the station, and looking around in awe. He was wearing a large black hooded cloak to mask his features and protect his skin since he liked the way he looked.

Harry walked onto the train, settled in a compartment, and was surprised when a watery-eyed boy asked if he could join him and a bushy haired girl followed him in. He had closed his eyes to rest when she began to speak.

"Hello, I am Hermione Granger, and this is Neville Longbottom." She said introducing the both of them and Harry had opened and looked at her and smiled softly.

"A pleasure my lady, I am Harry, Harry Potter." He heard Hermione Gasp and Neville stare in great shock as they both looked at him disbelievingly. Harry shook his head and removed his cloak hood showing them both the lightning shaped scar on his forehead.

"Tales of my death were greatly exaggerated." He said simply and Harry stared in amusement at the shock of his companions. When he heard a trio of voices, he smiled.

"Ron, we swear we heard James when we walked this compartment." Fred said and then George added. "Yeah c'mon."

Ron slid the compartment door open and he was about to leave thinking he had the wrong when he heard a voice call to him.

"Hey Ron, Fred, George." He said slowly, they all looked at him, and Harry blinked and smacked his head suddenly.

"James? Is that you." They asked slowly and Harry nodded slowly and then added lightly.

"It's Harry Actually…sorry about the misconception, my Aunt Melissa has been hiding me from the wizarding world and…" he trailed off at the angry faces before him. They did not say anything merely glared at him and turned stomping off.

Harry bowed his head, then leaned back against his seat, and stared ahead his eyes unfocused. Luckily, his traveling companions were not very talkative either. Harry asked a few questions about halfway through the trip and they all became fast friends. Hermione was amazed that someone shared her love of books, and Neville like Harry since he had saved Trevor.

As Hogwarts loomed in the distance, Harry and Neville excused themselves to change. Harry and Neville re-entered when Hermione said it was okay and they were awed at the station when the train began to slow to a halt.

Author's Notes

Oh God, I did not want to do that but my muse…she…made me. I have feeling they will reconcile soon but I thought that I would make Harry be better friends with Hermione first. Well Hogwarts is next so…keep tuned.
