Last time on Harry Potter and the Year of Surprises

The teens walked out to the barn. It was locked. Hermione tried the unlocking spell it didnt work. Harry thought of this he pulled out the knife Sirius gave him it was repaired and unlocked the door. into the barn it was really messy. So they spent a few minutes cleaning the cob webs in the barn with their wands.

"Lumos." They both said.

"Okay why dont I go and look up there and you look down here?" Harry said. She nodded to him in understanding. Harry went up the old ladder into the landing of the second floor. He looked around to see if there was anything noticeable. Something caught the corner of his eye. Something shiny it reflected from the light of his wand he walked over to it. There was a couple chairs, a table, some sliver plates and silverware, candle stick holder with candles in them. He lit the candles. Harry gasped there was a trunk in the corner.

"Harry did you find something?" Hermione's voice came.

"Yeah come here." Harry pulled out the trunk and waited for Hermione to get up the ladder. She went over to him and gasped at everything too. Hermione looked at the trunk with couriousity.

"Want to open it?"

"Yeah."

"Alohormora." The trunk clicked signaling it was open. Harry opened the trunk carefully. Inside was...

Chapter Six: Changes for the Trio...

"Alohomora." The trunk clicked signaling it was open. Harry opened the trunk carefull. Inside was a couple of photographs of two people he didnt quite reconize but they seemed to be in love. In one picture they were dancing around. Another one had them kissing. The pictures were in black and white. Why hadnt anyone found these before? That is strange. He rumaged through the trunk and found a dress and another outfit for a boy. Next he found two books they were the diary's of the two people in the picture. Strange Harry and Hermione both thought.

"What do you think?" Hermione asked. Harry looked at her she had a look of determination of to find out who these people were and why they left a trunk behind in a barn.

"I think we will figure this out later." He minimized the trunk and the table and chairs everything. and stuck it in a paper bag.

"We can look more tommorow. Lets go swimming."

"Okay. Nox."

"Hey Harry?"

"What?"

"Race you." With that she closed the barn doors on him and ran home. But when she looked back he was close behind her. She ran into her room and put her bikini on and met up with Harry in the hall. He was still dressed. His trunk was in her room. Duh! He went in and dressed. When he came out he and Hermione walked hand in hand down to the pool and swam around a bit.

"I have an idea." Harry said randomly when they were just swimming around.

"What would that be?" Hermione asked swimming over to him.

"Why don't we owl Ron? We can invite him to the mall with us, I'm sure he'd love to go." Harry explained giving Hermione a hint.

"Good idea. When I or you get a shower the other person can write the letter. Then we will switch and when the repley comes the other can answer." Hermione said.

"What time is it?"

"It is around 10:30."

"Why dont we go and grab showers and stuff then head to the mall?"

"Okay." They walked inside to find the Grangers were preparing lunch.

"Hey kids." Jane said.

"Hi." They both replied.

"We are going to get showers and stuff upstairs. Then we are going to the mall."

"Oh there is a contest going on at the mall win one of three cars. You should enter Harry." Charlie said.

"Okay I will thanks." With that the two teens went upstairs and Hermione went into the shower first and Harry wrote the inventation.

Ron,

Want to go to the mall with me and Herimone bring your girlfriend. I will pick you up. Just write back to tell me your answer.

Harry

"Alright Hedwig this is important get this to Ron as fast as you can and make sure if he writes back come back quickly." Hedwig nipped his finger in understanding. Then she took off. Harry sat there for a bit wondering how Ron was doing and how his girlfriend was. Hermione came out of the bathroom in a towel. So Harry went in the bathroom and started to get a shower. When he came out Hermione was reading a letter from Ron he was guessing. He went over to his trunk and got some boxers, a nice shirt and pants. He slipped his boxers on underneth the towel then placed the towel in the hamper. He walked over to Hermione to read the letter. While putting his pants on.

Harry,

Glad to hear from you mate. Anyway sure why not sounds like fun. Just when you come to the well you know what place just dont go upstairs we found a nest of doxys.

Ron

"That was a short letter he must be busy snogging." Harry snickered behind Hermione trying to find his way outside of the shirt. Hermione hit him playfully.

"Harry that isnt nice to say." Hermione said to her best friend. Who still was trapped inside his shirt.

"He probably is." Said a muffled Harry.

"Well I dont know. But the boy who lived who has defeted Voldemort 5 times cant even find his way out of his shirt and we depend on you to save the world?" Hermione teased.

"Ha very funny for some reason I can find the hole for my head." Harry said. Harry was struggling to get his polo shirt on over his t-shirt.

"Okay Harry stop messing around and jkp'ijujjdid you jinx the whole or something because I cant get my head in a whole?" Harry said still trying to get out.

; . She muttered the counter curse and Harry got his head through the minute she muttered the counter curse.

"Just for that I am going to punish you." Harry said to his girlfriend.

"And just what is my punishment Mr Potter?" Hermione giggled.

"Tickles." Harry said laughing and went over to her and tickled her all over.

"Haaaa-rrrrrryyyyyy!" Hermione said between giggles and laughs. Mr and Mrs Granger were watching this scene and smiled. There thoughts consisted of 'how cute' to 'arent they perfect for each other'.

"Knock, Knock." Jane declared. Harry blushed and stopped the 'punishment' quickly.

"Arent you going to the mall?" Charlie asked.

"Yes we were just inviting Ron." Hermione said to her parents.

"Well I had the impression he was giving you a punishment." Jane giggled. Everyone did laugh at that statement. The teens said there goodbyes and Hermione grabbed her purse and the teens left in the convertible.

'Nice car.' Thought Harry.

"Thanks." Hermione said.

"Hey I sometimes hate this mind thing." Harry said.

'Well now there is a better reason for practicing Occulemcy.' Hermione thought. by the way to you all this sign ( ' ) means a thought.

"Fine pick on me the boy who lived." Then Harry did fake crying. Hermione and Harry both laughed.

"On a serious note are we picking up Ron and mystery girl now or later before dinner?" Hermione asked.

"Umm now I guess because he was expecting us later and I have a weird feeling he is hidding something." Harry said. Hermione made a small nosie she didnt think Harry heard.

"Why do you think that?" She asked with a little panic in her voice. Harry noticed it.

"Well in the letter he wrote today about the doxies he said and Ginny said in a earlier letter said the whole place was cleaned out. I think that is a little supsious. Dont you?" Hermione nodded. Harry couldnt read her mind so he didnt think it of anything. Harry and Hermione thought it would be fun to do a fire drill in the car. It is where you get out of the car and the passenger and the driver get out at a stop light and switch. They did that about three times so when they got to the Grimmald Place so Harry was driving. He told Hermione to wait in the back of the car. Harry made his way up the path and knocked on the door. Mrs Weasly answered the door and opened it a little and was shocked to see Harry here.

"Hello Harry dear can you wait a minute I have to move something out of the way of the door." She then closed the door and Harry heard muffled voices. Then Mrs Weasly opened the door again and let Harry in.

"Hi umm were you having a meeting in here or something I thought I heard voices?" Harry asked.

"No it was err Tonks I was telling to help me move something." She knew Harry didnt belive her but he pretended to.

"Alright well I will just go get Ron then." He didnt even let Mrs Weasly say no because he was already half way upstairs. He heard four voices coming from the room down the hall Sirius's old room. Harry made his way down the hall to the room when Ron and Luna came out of a room right in front of him. Obviously stopping him from going down to Sirius old bedroom. He just then realised how werid it felt to be in this house again. Without Sirius, his godfather.

"Hey mate how you doing?" Ron said almost pushing Harry the opposite way of the place he wanted to go.

"I am fine I just need to use the bathroom." Harry said so he could go down towards the bedroom. "Just go wait for me downstairs I can manage to go to the bathroom on my own."

"Just use the one downstairs." Luna suggested.

"Why this one is right here it isnt that far." Harry said begining to walk down the hall. On his way back form the bathroom he heard the voices stop as he got closer to the door. Harry stopped and pretended to tie his shoe in front of the door.

The voices continued. They seemed fimiliar he knew the two well and the other two were fuzzy in his mind.

"You just expect him to just greet us like that. He will probably curse us to death before he hears the truth." One man said.

"Well he has listened before just look what he did with Sirius in his third year he listened to him." A second man said.

"That is true." A third man said.

"But that isn't fair. Why does Albus have to be like this doesn't he understand?" A women said.

"I am sure he does but from what I heard from the Order he doesn't like surprises like this." The man who had spoken first said.

"No but-" The second man started.

"Harry?" Ron said coming over to him. The four voices stopped.

"What?" Harry said. He thought for a moment the voices were talking about him. 'Well he has listened before just look what he did with Sirius in his third year he listened to him.' That sentence along with the others floated in his mind.

"Ready to go?" Harry looked up and nodded. They all walked out and went into the car. Luna got in the back and Ron got in the front. Ron looked in the back and saw Hermione sitting next to Luna.

"Hello Ron." Hermione smiled and waved. Harry started the car and pulled into the street. Ron was still with a look of panic on his face.

"Hey how are ya?"

"Good just a touch of the cold thought."

"How was your summer and wait a second. Why are you early?" Luna asked. Harry and Hermione explained. Harry waited to they got to a red light to pull up his shirt to show the bruises and cuts. You could still see the big bruise on his face. Mrs Weasly didnt notice because she didnt see his other side of his face.

"Harry Lupin is going to have a field day at the Dursleys so will mum they will be lucky if they are alive by the time everyone gets through with them." Ron said.

"No they wont because they wont find out. Right?" There was only silence. Harry calmly pulled over everyone was a little afraid that Harry was going to start screaming.

"Look," he said calmly "I dont want them to find out that one I didnt take care of myself or anything else I dont need to tell the adults I can and have taken care of it so stop thinking about telling someone behind my back either got it?" They all nodded. Harry pulled out into the road again and the rest of the car ride was slience.

"Hey everyone what do you want to do when we get to the mall?" Harry asked he was perfectly calm he didnt sound angry everyone stopped worrying that he was a time bomb.

"Well my cousin's store she works for is going out of business and giving stuff away plus she can give us all new looks." Hermione said.

"Sounds good." Luna said and everyone else agreed. Harry found a parking spot. Got out of the car and opened Hermione's door for her and Ron did the same for Luna. They walked into the mall and they first walked to the contest booth and entered there names. It reminded Harry of the goblet of fire.

"I have a feeling Harry is going to win." Luna said.

"Really?" Harry asked.

"Yeah." They finished walking to the store called 'Your Look' when they walked in all they saw were two sections one for men and the other women for clothes.

"Hermione?" A older girl asked to the one holding Harry's hand. Hermione over to the older girl who had blue straigt hair, knee high boots, black mini skirt, with a blue holter top.

"Michelle!" Hermione said on her way to the hug.

"What brings you here?" Michelle asked the group.

"Well this is my best friend and his girlfriend Ron and Luna and this is my other best friend Harry Potter." Hermione said.

"Oh the Hermione here told me all about you." Michelle said hugging the both of them and Luna.

"I am so bored do you want new looks on the house and some wardrobe?" Michelle asked the teens. They all said yes. "Right then will the girls go to the right and will the boys go to the left? We are going to work on hair eyes and all that." The teens did what they were told. Harry sat in the first chair and a guy was sitting there.

"Alright my name is Pete and I am going to do your hair. How do you feel with spikes and blue tips?" The guy with a scottish accent said to Harry.

"Sounds good and my name is Harry. But can you make my scar not really noticeable?"

"Yeah sure." Pete started to cut and dye Harry's hair and about a half an hour later he was done. He spun Harry around and Harry thought he looked cool. His jet-black hair was spiked not like dramactically but casual spike like the how he kind of looked in the 3rd movie when he was in the quidditch game with blue tips of the spikes.

"Alright boys in the two left changing booths and the girls the two right booths. I will be with you guys in a second I need to get your measurments and stuff. Also I need to know what style you like. So when I get in there I want you to tell me. Hermione you are in number 1, Luna you are in 2, Ron you are in 3, and Harry you are in 4." Michelle went to Hermione and so forth to Harry.

"Alright Hermione you are going to put these on. I be back in a second to make sure you look perfect." Michelle handed some clothes to her cousin and left. Hermione thought 'Oh no!'

'Oh no what?' Harry thought in a panic.

'The clothes they are well nevermind you will see after I put them on hold on.' She thought back. Hermione changed into a black mini skirt, a black tang top, with a leather jacket to go over the shirt, and black shoes. Hermione thought of her image in the clothes and thought of them.

'No offesense but when did you start to look like that? Not that it is bad but you seriouly grew up over summer!'

'I used concealment charms at school.'

'Oh well you cousin is coming I will be right back.'

"Put these on and I will be back to make sure you look good for the ladies." She laughed and left. Harry put the clothes on. They were black jeans, black t-shirt, and a leather jacket to go over it like Hermione's, with black shoes.
