'Thoughts'
/Parseltongue/
(With Harry)
It was finally time for the students to return home. For the first time in his life Harry was excited to leave Hogwarts. The reason was that he wouldn't be returning to the Dursleys. He would be going to the Burrow. He couldn't wait to hang out with them all.
'I wonder what the twins are up to. They've been acting weird these last few months.' He thought.
They would suddenly appear and try to lead him places. They would suddenly stop and look very upset. They would take him back to where he had been before they took him and then leave. They managed to avoid all his questions about it.
"I'll be back." He told Ron and Hermione.
"Where are you going?" Hermione demanded.
"To the bathroom." He was a little irritated that her and Ron seemed to always need to know where he was and where he was going.
"Oh, okay." She nodded.
Harry stood up and left. He went to the bathroom and relieved his bladder. He washed his hands and went back to the compartment. He was about to go again when he realized they were talking about him.
".. need Harry and Ginny together." Ron said, "but the love potions aren't working."
'What?' That made the black haired teen freeze.
"I know. Luckily he will be at your house and that gives us the opportunity to give him a much stronger love potion." Hermione said.
"I hope so. I can't keep babysitting him." He groaned.
"Me neither, We will get his money soon. He will fall for Ginny, they will date, get married, and then we will finally have that money." She said.
"You're right."
"Now let's stop talking. He'll be back soon." She told Ron.
"Alright." He agreed.
'I guess Ginny was right about Ron and Hermione not really being my friends. Can I actually trust her? What about the twins?' He questioned himself. 'I'll act like I don't know anything. Once we arrive I will go to the bathroom with my trunk and try to find Dean and Seamus. Hopefully they will help me.
He took a deep breath and entered the compartment. He sat down and they began talking about their summer plans. He was relieved and surprised that he was able to keep it together and not reveal that he knew the truth. Soon they arrived at the platform. They all exited the train.
Bill was there to meet them. He smiled as they walked over to them. He hugged Ron first since he knew that he would throw a tantrum if he wasn't the first one hugged. He then hugged Ginny. He shook Harry's hand next. Hermione greeted him before she went to her own parents.
"I'm going to shrink your trunks so that they will be easier to carry." He told them.
"Okay." The three teens said.
The curse breaker quickly shrunk their trunks. He started with Harry's first. Once it was tiny Harry put it into his pocket. He looked at them.
"I drank too much on the train. I'm going to the bathroom." He lied.
"Alright." Bill smiled at him.
The teen went off in the direction of the bathrooms. He casually looked over his shoulder and noticed that none of them were looking at him. He took his chance and went over to where he had seen Dean and Seamus.
"Hey Harry." Seamus greeted him and then noticed how upset he was. "What's wrong?"
Harry told both of them what happened. Both were upset for Harry and they hugged him. Seamus looked at his mother.
"Mam? Did you hear what he said?"
"I did and he's coming with us. Harry, I will apparate you to our house. Seamus, Dean, you both will floo there." Dean was a familiar face around their house and so he knew the password.
"Okay." The two boys said.
"Thank you." Harry teared up.
"Let's go sweetie."
She wrapped her arms around the distressed teen. The two soon disappeared with a loud cracking sound. Dean and Seamus shared a look before going to the floo network and flooing to Seamus's house. None of them noticed three sets of eyes staring with relief. The twins and Ginny shared a look. They all agreed to keep quiet and not tell them where they had seen Harry go.
