Disclaimer:Not mine, never will be.If your going to understand this story, you better read the prequel first.Okay, dont kill me, but I am going to try and squeeze some romance in here.
Harry was having the best summer ever.He hadnt had to go back to the Durslys once!And since Ron and his familly stayed at 12 Grimmauld Place for most of the summer, they had enough people to play quiditch!His dad was the best seeker he had ever seen.Of course, due to a dare by Sirius, they had to try being chasers one time.With Ginny seeking for Harrys team, they won 150-0.It was determined that if either person wanted to chase again, they would be carted of to Saint Mungos.
Harry woke up one morning to find Rons bed acrross form him empty.He looked at the clock.It was 7:30 am.Who gets up before that?Especially during the summer.The bed had definately been slept in so he wasnt worried.Then he remembered what day it was.He jumped out of bed, and threw on some clothes.He went carefully down the stairs, they had taken to trying to trip him.When he walked into the living room, he almost fell back in surprise.
"Happy birthday Harry!"everyone in the room chorused.And by everyone in the room, it was everyone in the house.
Harry enjoyed his surprise party.He was having such a good time, that he laughed along with Ron at the apparent 'look' on his face.(I am not going to list the presents because I ran out of ideas last time.)Then Mrs. Weasly came out wiht the biggest chocolate covered chocolate cake he had ever seen.(mmmmm chocolate).It even had 17 little glowing clandles.He took a deep breath and blew out all but one.At this all the muggle-borns laughed out loud.
"Whats so funny?"Harry asked.
"Harry, in the muggle world, when you have one candle left, it means you have one girlfriend!"Hermione explained.
The others grinned.Harry groaned.It was tease Harry time!
"Harry, why didnt you tell us"
"So whose the lucky lady"
"Now I think I have an idea of where you go when your not wiht us at Hogwarts Harry"
"Oh shut up all of you,"Harry said grinning, "Mum, I dont have a girlfriend, so dad, there is no 'lucky lady' and Ron you know very well that if I had a girlfriend, I would tell you."
"Oh yeah, just like last time a girl kissed you before christmas..."Ron said, making Harry go redder than ever.It was going to be another round of teasing.
"What"
"You had a girlfriend and didnt tell me"
"So who was she Harry"
Harry groaned and started explaining about Cho.
"Harry, next time you have a date, call me and I will give you some tips"
He was interupted by the arrinval of the Hogwarts letters.Which Harry found to be a blessing.As Harry opened his, he was stunned at what fell out.Of course, no one noticed, so he called his mother, very cautiously.And rihgtfully so. When she saw what was in his hand, she let out a louder shreik than Ron's mother had when he got prefect.Harry had gotten Head Boy.His father beamed in pride.Hermione had gotten Head Girl.The twins shook thier heads in dissapointment. Mrs. Weasly was slightly dissapointed that it wasnt Ron but she was happy all the same.Of course this led to another party.Later he asked his dad how he could have gotten Head Boy if he wasnt prefect first.His father simply said that he had no idea, but the same thing had happened to him.
Later on they played a night time quidittch game.The twins refused to be on the trios team, as they didnt want to be with law-obeyers.That gave Harry an idea.He explianed it and everyone thought it was great.On Harry's team, there were Ron, Hermione, Mr.Weasly, Bill, Charlie, and Lily.She thought it would be fun to play against her husband.On that team were the people who always broke the rules at every chance.James, Sirius, Lupin, Fred, George,and some otehr people. Harrys team won by a hair.
They all went to bed happy that night.Ron was apparently very happy at the fact that he didnt get Head Boy.He said he had enough to do without being Head Boy.
The next day was Harrys apparation test.His parents were very dissapointed at the fact that they couldnt come with him.(They were still in hiding, and even if they did come out it wouldnt clear Sirius because Sirius had been charged with murder of 12 muggles and Peter Pettigrew.)However, they could tell he had passed when he apparated into the kitchen.
The last days of Harrys stay were spectacular.He and his father started a prank war, which Harry lost, becausue the twins had sided with James after they heard the nicknames that Sirius, James and Lupin used.So at the end of another prank filled day,Harry went to bed and put a charm on his bed hangings so that they could only be opened by him.While stinking like the twins' portable swamp, which they had left outside Harrys door.He and Ron were going to return the favour in the morning.Meanwhile James couldnt stop itching because Lily had sidded with Harry.The only time in the holidays remianing when James and Harry teamed up for a prank was when it was on Snape.Who walked out of the house wiht his robes singing.
Finnaly it was the last day of the summer.Harry had already packed.On his way out, his parents gave him the usual advice.
"Dont get in any trouble"
"Dont get cought"
"Dont listen to your father"
"Get the Slytherins with something"
"Call us when you get there"
"Will do!"Harry grinned.His father was going to be itchy tonight.
They got a compartment all to themselves because the Heads had thier own.Harry asked what to do at the prefect meeting.Hermione said just let her talk.After the prefect meeting(during which Harry took a point away from Malfoy after he insulted him just so that they would be in the negatives)Harry and Hermione invited their friends into the Heads compartment.(I forgot to mention in my last story that Ginny had gotten prefect)There they all had access to the food trolly and got a discount.
When they got into the great hall, the Slytherins were angry with Malfoy for getting them in the negatives.After Dumbldores speech, and anoucment that with Harry's permission, the DA would continue after christmas.Several people cheered at this.The Slytherins groaned.They could never jynx the people from there, they were to good.After the feast, during which the Slytherins tested theyre food,McGonagle came up to Ron.
"Weasly, we need a quiditch captain.I thought you would do.Do you accept?"She said.
Ron was stunned,he had thought Harry was a shoe in."But why me?Harry is the one always winnig the cup"
"I am not a good stratagist Ron.Thats your area."Harry said, while swallowing a large mouthfull of treacle tart.
"Exactly"
"Well, then you bet I except"
After she left, handing him the badge, Harry said, "Just promise me no 6 am practises"
Ron snorted."I am not Wood Harry.8am earlyest"
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Later that night, Harry was talking to his parents but he had to go because Ron wanted to use it to tell his mother.
He woke up and went down to the hall.(Just for the sake of the story, no private head dorms).There he became very grouchy because Ron was holding quidditch tryouts next week.They needed a new chaser.
"8:30 am on a Saturday?Ginny, please tell me that Ron isnt turning into Wood"
"I wouldnt know.Your the only one left who played for Wood.You tell me."she replied.
"I guess not.Wood would have it for 6:30 am.I guess he is just adding two hours.Ah well."Harry said in defeat.
At the quidich tryouts, which Ron had taken after Angelina,in insisting that the entire team be there.The new chaser, Ron had told everyone, was the only one who stood a chance.John Marcbee.After the tryouts, the seventh years trudged up to the liabrary with Hermione, because the teachers had sidded with her on deciding that they needed to start studying for NEWTs now.They had a new spell for Charms,Transfiguration and DADA(even though it wasnt a big deal, they had covered this spell in the DA)and 6, 4 foot essays in the other subjsets.Since Harry already knew the charm, since it was a colour charm he wen onto the essays.
By the end of Sunday, they had jsut finiched thier essays.They had an hour left before dinner, so they went out to the grounds to relax.
