Chapter Two - Leaving the Dursleys

It was now a week before Harry's birthday. Harry went back to the Dursley's house. He was planning to leave the Dursley's house once he turned seventeen so he didn't unpack his trunk. He had not gotten any letters from Ron, Hermione, or Ginny since he had come back to the Dursleys. He was wondering what was going on with them. He had written many letters to them but never got an answer back from them.

The Dursleys were very excited about Harry's seventeenth birthday except Petunia, who when ever she looked at Harry started to cry. On this seemingly ordinary day Dudley was going to go have tea with a friend's parents and was going to get picked up by his friend. At around Noon Petunia came up to Harry's room and knocked on the door. Harry was reading a book with advanced curses when he heard the knock on his door. Harry set the book that he had been reading down, got up and opened the door. His aunt just looked at him for a few minutes.

"Harry, I need your help in the kitchen with some cookies that I'm baking. I just don't want them to burn. Will you please help me?" said Petunia.

"I'll help you, Aunt Petunia," said Harry.

"Thank you so much, Harry."

"No problem."

Harry and petunia went downstairs together and walked into the kitchen. Harry was now able to use magic outside of Hogwarts. He had gotten a letter from the Ministry of Magic that said that since Dumbledore had died Harry was now emancipated and would be able to use magic outside of Hogwarts. The Dursleys knew this and Vernon and Dudely were now very scared of Harry. To prove the point, when Harry entered the kitchen, Dudley ran out of the room covering his bottom and mouth. Petunia had said that he could use magic inside the house as long as it was to help clean around the douse and help with the cooking.

"I want to see how good the cookies are if they were done by magic," said Petunia to Harry, who smiled and pulled out his wand.

With a wave of his wand the utensils started to work on the batter. When this was done Harry waved his wand again and the mix poured itself into circles on the pan and then the pan went into the oven.

"They will be ready in two minutes," said Harry as he set the timmer.

"That quick. How?" said Petunia.

"I made the oven heat increase."

When the timmer rand Harry took the cookie pan out of the oven with magic, and cooled it.

Harry then waved his wand and sprinkles fell onto the cookies. Harry's aunt took a cookie and took a bite. She then smiled at Harry, who smiled back.

"They taste great, Harry. Try one," said Petunia handing one to Harry, who had just put away his wand, and took the cookie and bit into it. It was very tasty indded, thought Harry.

Just then Vernon walked in and saw his wife and Harry eating cookies and smiling at each other. Vernon walked over to the tray with the cookies on it, took one and took a bite. He then looked at his wife.

"Petunia, these are the best cookies I have ever tasted. Your cooking has gotten a whole lot better. How'd you do it?" said Vernon.

"Magic," said Petunia sweetly as she looked at her husband.

"Ma... ma... magic?"

"Yes, dear. Harry's been helping me with the cooking and the cleaning.

Vernon looked at HArry with death in his eyes but didn't yell at Harry when he saw that Harry had his wand out and pointed at him. Just then the door bell rang. Petunia got up and walked into the living room and opened the door.

"Dudley, there's a cute girl here to pick you up," yelled Petunia.

"Dudley? Actually I'm here to pick up Harry Potter," said a voice that was very familiar to Harry.

When Harry heard the voice he poked his head out of the kitchen door and his heart lept. Standing at the door was Ginny Weasley. Harry ran out of the kitchen and into the living room. When Ginny saw Harry she ran in and gave Harry a big hur. Harry wrapped his arms around her, picked her up and twirled around onthe spot with her. She was laughing when he set her down. He then leaned towards her and kissed her gently and tenderly. When he pulled away from Ginny, he looked around the room. His aunt, uncle, and cousin were all looking at him with questioning looks on their faces.

"Ginny, I'm going to tell them that you're my fiancee if you don't mind that is," Harry whispered to Ginny as he discreetly pulled his want out and tapped Ginny's left hand ring-finger and put an illusion of a blue diamond ring on it.

"I don't mind," Ginny whispered back.

Harry then turned to his uncle, aunt, and cousin who looked a little scared of Ginny.

"Guys, there's no need to be afraid. She's not going to hurt you. This is my fiancee. Her name is Ginny Weasley," said Harry.

"You have a fiancee, Harry?" said Harry's aunt ina shocked tone.

"Yes he does. Didn't he tell you? He asked me to marry him at the end of last school year. He's been so nice to me since my first year when he saved me in the Chamber of Secrets when I was dying, so I said yes," said Ginny with a smile as she held up her left hand that had the illusion of the blue diamond ring onher ring-finger that Harry had made.

"Ginny, why are you here?" said Harry as he turned to Ginny.

"Me and the twins are here to pick you up so you can go to the wedding for my brother Bill. He is getting married to Fleur in four days," said Ginny with a smile.

"In four days? I don't have anything to wear."

"It's okay. Let's get your things and we'll talk about it on the way to our house."

"Okay, honey."

Harry and Ginny turn around and grasped each others hands and intertwined their fingers and started for the stairs. They then start to climb up the stairs and then they were in Harry's room in no time. Ginny looked around Harry's room and turned to Harry as he walked to stand next to his bed. Ginny then looked at the door and then back to Harry, who nodded knowingly and took out his wand and pointed it at the door, which closed itself and locked. With another flick of his wand Harry set a Privacy and Silencing Charms on the door and his room so his relatives couldn't bother them. After Harry had finished securing the room, Ginny walked to Harry seductively and pushed him onto his bed.

"Has anyone ever stripped in front of you before, Harry?" said Ginny.

Harry shook his head no and swallowed a lump that had formed in his throat.

"Good. Then consider this as one of your many birthday gifts from me," said Ginny with a seductive smile on her lips.

She then pulled her shirt out of her pants and over her head and off letting it drop to the floor. Next she pulled off her shoes and unbuttoned her pants and slid them off her legs. HArry's breathe caught in his chest at the sight of her beautiful slender body. All she had on now was a green see-through bra and green see-through knickers. Ginny then reached behind her back and unclasped her bra letting it drop to the floor behind her. She then walked over to Harry and she looked down at her knickers and then up at Harry with pleading eyes. Harry caught the hint and kneeled in front of her and removed her last article of clothing, passing his hands feather light over her legs as he brought her knickers down. He then stood up and backed away a little but fell onto his bed. Ginny then walked over to Harry and laid down next to him on his bed.

"We have a little time left before we have to start our journey back to my house," said Ginny.

Harry took the himt immediately and took off his shirt. Ginny then got up and straddled him. They started kissing each other very passionately. They kept kissing each other for about five to six minutes until suddenly GInny got up and started to put on her clothes again for the second time that day. Harry looked up at her with a sadness in his eyes. When Ginny looked up at Harry she saw the sadness in his eyes she walked over to him and sat on his lap and kissed him gently and tenderly. Harry put his arms around her and held her close to him. When they broke the kiss they both looked very happy. Ginny got up and put on her bra and pulled her shirt back over her head while Harry put his shirt back on also.

"Is everything in your trunk, Harry?" said Ginny.

"I have one book out. Let me put it back," said Harry.

Harry got up and went over to his desk and picked up the book on curses and "How to Make Your Own Spells." He then walked over to his trunk and opened it. He put the book away and closed the lid.

"Everything ready now, Harry?" said Ginny.

"Yes it is. Let's go," said Harry.

With a wave of her own wand Harry's trunk vanished. Harry just looked at her in awe. Ginny then turned and looked at HArry, who was doing a very good imitation of a gold fish. When she saw his look she broke out laughing. When she calmed dwon a bit she looked at Harry again.

"You forgot that I now can do magic outside of Hogwarts. Didn't you?" said Ginny with a smile.

Harry just nodded his agreement. He then opened his mouth and was about to say something when Ginny interrupted him.

"YOur trunk is at my house, so don't worry about it," said Ginny, who was still smiling.

Harry just nodded again. He then took the spells on his door and room off with a wave of his wand. Harry and Ginny walk out of the room hand-in-hand. They walked down the stairs and into the kitchen, out into the living room and were about to go out the door when Harry's uncle put a hand on Harry's shoulder. Harry turned around and saw a smile on his uncle's face.

"Harry, I know I haven't treated you the best while you were living with us, and for that I am truly sorry. When ever you and your beautiful fiancee feel like visiting feel free to come. But before you come give us a call so we know that you're coming so we can prepare. You will always be welsome here. And if you find it in your heart to forgive us we would like to request an invitation to your wedding if it's not a lot of trouble for you guys. I am proud to call you a member of this family. I will always treat you like a son from now on. Good-bye, Harry," said Vernon, who held out his arms and Harry gave his uncle a hug.

"Take good care of him, Ginny," said Petunia with a smile.

"I will, Mrs. Dursley," said Ginny.

Harry's cousin just walked up to Harry and gave him a hug.

"Brothers?" said Dudley.

"Brothers," said Harry, who held out his hand which Dudley shook after they let go of each other.

"Ready to go, Harry?" said Ginny.

"Yes I am. Let's go. Good-bye everyone," said Harry to the Dursleys who were all waving at him with smiles on their faces and tears running down their cheeks.

Ginny then led Harry to a red car. In the front two seats were Fred and George. Fred wasl at the wheel. They both smiled at Harry as he walked by and got in the back seat after Ginny. When they were in, the door closed automatically and Fred started up the engine, backed out onto the road and headed off towards the Burrow.

"So, how was it, Harry?" said George as he turned in his seat to look at Harry.

"How was what?" said Harry.

"Seeing Ginny in the nude," said Fred.

"Oh, that. It was nothing," said Harry.

"Hear that, Ginny? He says your body is nothing," said George.

Harry turned bright red and looked at Ginny.

"They knew?" said Harry in a worried tone.

"Of course we knew. We were the ones who gave her the idea. But we were only joking. We didn't really mean it. But she takes everything so seriously. Anyways did you like what you saw?" said Fred.

"Yes I did. Why?" said Harry.

"Because, you will be sharing a room with her," said Geroge.

"What? Why? What about Ron?" said Harry.

"He insisted that you share a room with Ginny," said Fred.

"Since he and Hermione are sharing a room. Mum was very reluctant on the idea," said George.

"But eventually she gave in when Hermione said that she was going to keep sleeping in Ron's room with him when you arrived."

"So Mum wanted us to tell you."

"That you will be sleeping in Ginny's room with her."

Harry really wanted to change the subject so he did.

"So the wedding is in four days?" said Harry in a curious tone of voice.

"Yeah. It's been Hell living there for the past three weeks," said Ginny.

"So where am I going to get a suit from?" said Harry in a worried tone.

"I am taking you to Diagon Alley tomorrow so we can get you fitted into a tux and so I can pick up my dress," said Ginny.

"They sell suits in Diagon Alley?"

"Only on special occasions do they ever."

"We're here," said Fred and George at the same time when they pulled into the driveway of the Burrow.

Waiting at the front of the house when the car pulled into the driveway was Mrs. Weasley. She ran up to the driver's side window and looked at Fred.

"Did you tell him, Fred?" said Mrs. Weasley.

"Yes, Mum, I did," said Fred.

"Well. What did he say?"

"Ask him yourself?" said Fred as he pointed next to Mrs. Weasley.

Mrs. Weasley looked next to her and saw Harry staning there smiling.

"Harry..." started Mrs. Weasley.

"I don't mind, Mrs. Weasley," said Harry.

"Okay. Now that I got that off my chest, welcome back, Harry, dear. Have you eatten lunch yet?" said Mrs. Weasley.

"No, not yet, Mrs. Weasley," said Harry.

"Well let's get you something to eat," said Mrs. Weasley as she pushed Harry towards and into the house.

The twins and Ginny followed closely behind their mum and Harry. When they came into the kitchen, Ginny sat down next to Harry and put her hand on Harry's leg while the twins said something about having to go check on thier shop. With that the twins vanished with a pop.

"I will be getting you up early, Harry, so we can get everything done tomorrow," said Ginny.

"All right. Whatever you say, Ginny. You're the boss," said Harry.
