Harry and Dumbledore appeared in the living room of the Burrow and heard a woman, "Arthur is that you? I thought you had a meeting to get to." Said woman rounded the corner entering the living room, she was a short, plump, kindly-looking woman with flaming fiery red hair. "Oh, hello Dumbledore. Nice of you to visit, who's your friend?"

"This is Harry Potter, Molly," Dumbledore replied, "Harry, this is Molly Weasley."

"Oh, pleased to meet you. Well we were about to have lunch; would you two care to join us and then we can discuss why you two decided to pay us a visit?"

Dumbledore and Harry both accepted the invitation and told to sit down while Mrs. Weasley kept working her 'magic' on preparing the food. Soon, two red headed boys, twins, entered the kitchen. "Hello, my is Fred/George and this is my brother George/Fred, what's your name?" they asked, there question obviously directed at Harry, but Harry was taken aback at how perfectly in sync they spoke.

"My name is Harry, Harry Potter. How do you do that?"

"Do what?"

"Speak like that."

"Magic," they said as they began to laugh at their joke, then one of them said, "We just like messing with people."

"It's hilarious to see people try to guess which is which."

"So, you're the famous Harry Potter."

"Where have you been this whole time?"

"My relatives house, but I'd rather not talk about it," Harry said, the twins merely nodded their heads in understanding. Then another red-haired boy entered, followed by a redheaded girl. "Hey Ginny."

"Hey Percy."

"How'd the de-gnoming go?" the twins asked the two new additions to the table.

"Pretty good, who's our guest, besides Dumbledore that is?" Percy asked, but before Harry could answer the twins both said the answer and watched. Harry followed their eyes to see the little girl become flustered as she quickly excused herself and ran upstairs. The twins again began laughing and Harry looked at them with a look that said, 'What just happened?'. "We'll tell you when you're older." they said.

"Where is Ron? Lunch is almost ready," asked Mrs. Weasley.

"Last I checked still in bed asleep," answered George, Harry looked around and saw everyone put their fingers in their ears, and so he did the same.

"Ronald Bilius Weasley! Get up, get dressed, and get downstairs, it's lunchtime!" Mrs. Weasley shouted at a volume Harry never thought was humanly possible.

"How did she get her voice to that volume?" Harry asked.

"Sonorus Charm, great for making big speeches," Percy replied

Soon after that another red-haired boy came down, 'How many kids does she have?' Harry asked himself, then chastised himself. He never really had a family, so he always thought if he got older, he wanted as big a family as possible. Ron sat down at one of the empty chairs and noticed Harry and Dumbledore. "Hello, Professor Dumbledore, who's your friend." Ron asked.

"I am Harry, Harry Potter."

"If you're the Harry Potter, where's your scar," Ron asked, not believing him.

"Ronald!" Mrs. Weasley shouted, thankfully not as loud as before, "That's incredibly rude, apologize!"

"It was just a question!" Ron replied, only to be met by a glare from his mother, "Yes, mum. I'm sorry Harry."

"That's alright." I replied, "I have a feeling I'm going to have to answer this question repeatedly with how much people apparently know me."

"What do you mean, apparently know you? You're one of the most famous wizards in England."

"Why?"

"For killing He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named."

"Who is He-With-So-Many-Hyphens?" Harry asked earning a laugh from the twins.

"Voldemort, was his name, and he was a man who gave up everything for the sake of power," Dumbledore answered, "He killed all those who got in his way, including your parents, and then he tried to kill you. Something about you stopped him that night and you were labelled The-Boy-Who-Lived." Harry didn't feel like Dumbledore was telling him the whole story, but decided it was best to not ask.

"So now I'm the Boy-With-Many-Hyphens, great."

The lunch went well as everyone ate their food, conversed about the goings-on in the world, and telling Harry how things worked in the magical world. After lunch was over Harry offered to help Mrs. Weasley with the dishes, to which she simply stated, "No need, it takes care of itself." As she pointed to the dishes washing themselves, drying themselves, and then putting themselves back up.

After lunch Dumbledore began explaining why he had brought Harry, "Harry ran away from his relatives' house last night due to their abuse, and I was wondering if it was possible for you to house him for the rest of summer till school starts." Harry wanted to argue against but realized it best to go along with Dumbledore.

Mrs. Weasley almost ran at Harry as she began hugging him and telling the two of them it was no trouble. She couldn't believe that someone would abuse a child like that, and she felt it her responsibility to care for him, and before anything could be said, that was when Harry became a part of the Weasley family. Dumbledore, feeling that his mission to secure Harry to the side of light was done, left the burrow to go back to his office, and Harry spent the rest of the day getting to know the Weasleys.

Harry spent the next week with the Weasleys getting to know them and being a sort of adopted brother to the lot. Harry enjoyed the twins' pranks and all-around fun personalities, which seemed even funnier when used on Percy. Harry thought that Percy was a bit of a control freak but was grateful as Percy explained to him the types of courses available at Hogwarts. Ron was still rude at times, but Harry felt he could get used to it. However, Ron seemed to always want to bother Harry while he was reading his books for school, which pissed off Harry to no end. Ginny acted rather aloof towards Harry, which Harry later found out was because she was infatuated with the character of "The-Boy-Who-Lived". Harry thought that Mr. Weasley was very friendly, with him excited to have someone to talk about muggle things with, surprising Harry with a question about the function of a rubber duck, which Harry was unable to answer. Mrs. Weasley treated Harry like he was her eighth child, which he greatly appreciated having never been treated like family by anyone before.

At the end of the week, it was Harry's birthday and the Weasley's and him were going to go out to buy their things. Harry tagged along saying that he had something to get as well. When they all arrived at Diagon Alley, Harry split from the group and agreed to meet back at the Leaky Cauldron in an hour. Harry went straight to Gringotts and towards the goblin he spoke to the other day, Blornok.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Potter."

"This again Blornok? I told you to call me Harry." Harry replied surprising the goblin.

"I didn't think you would remember my name. Most wizards don't take the time to remember any of us."

"Well, I don't know many goblins, so it's easy to remember you. Anyway, I'm here to get emancipated."

"Of course, right this way." Blornok said leading Harry into the office he had taken him last time, "Now regarding your emancipation, all the paperwork has been mostly filled in for you, I just need you to sign these papers, and perform a ritual to verify that you are indeed of age and are who you say are."

Harry nodded and began filling out the papers. Then when he was done Blornok began the ritual. The goblin's hands began to glow as he pointed to harry sending a wave of energy from his hands that seemed to absorb into Harry's skin and then out again and onto the paper, where suddenly at the top of each of the papers appeared the same line written in red ink.

Verified by Blornok of Gringotts Wizard Bank.

Harry then asked, "So what now?"

"Now you get your lord rings." Blornok said, getting out a box he had kept under the table, "These are the rings for the houses of Potter, Slytherin, Gryffindor, and Peverell. They are symbols of your standing in your family as well as in society. They also offer protection to you, no potions such as the loyalty potion, and love potion can affect you. You may also hide them, if you do not wish for anyone to see them, or you may take them off and summon them whenever you feel the need."

"Why don't I get one for the House of Black?"

"Because Harry, there is already a living Lord Black, and until he dies or relinquishes his status he shall remain so."

"Who is he?"

"Lord Sirius Orion Black, your godfather."

"I have a godfather? I thought I had no family other than the Dursleys. Where is he?"

"Azkaban Prison."

"For how long?"

"He's been there for 10 years, and he's been left there for life."

"What? Then how come he is still a lord, and what is he in there for?"

"He is still a lord, because he was never given a trial and thus never found guilty, as such he never had his title of lord revoked. As for why he's locked up, it is believed that he betrayed your parents to Voldemort, killed 12 muggles and one of his supposed best friends Peter Pettigrew. The only evidence was eyewitness accounts of some nearby wizards, and the only thing found of Pettigrew was his finger."

"What happened to the 12 muggles, did their bodies get destroyed?"

"No, they were dead, but still intact."

Harry thought it strange to imprison someone without a trial and decided he would investigate later. He also did not want anyone, especially Dumbledore to know about his lord status, and as he thought this the rings became invisible, and it felt like he wasn't even wearing them.

"Thank you Blornok."

"You're welcome Harry, and regarding the case you wished for me to prepare against Dumbledore, I'm afraid it will take a little more time to prepare. Dumbledore is a prominent figure, and we'll need strong evidence to not only support our claims, but also to convince the Wizengamot of his guilt. On top of that, I think one of our goblins is working with him."

"Well, that's unfortunate, but I understand," he said to Blornok seeming to calm the goblin a bit. 'Did he think I would be mad at him?' Harry thought. "Well I've got to go, send me a letter if anything changes, and may your bank flow with gold."

"Goodbye Harry, and may your enemies fall before you."

Harry wandered aimlessly through the stores as time flew by and soon it was time to meet up with the Weasleys at the Leaky Cauldron. As he entered the establishment, he saw the red-headed family sitting at a table, but that was all he could see before 2 pairs of hands covered his eyes. "Guess who." Harry heard the voices of the twins coming from his left and right. He pointed to his left and said "Fred" and then pointed to his right and said "George." To say the twins were shocked is an understatement, they had tried this same game several times with Harry, and each time he guessed correctly.

"How do you keep doing that?"

"Magic".

In truth Harry had become more adept at using some of his xenomorph abilities while still in his human form, and despite their similarities. He was able to tell the difference between their scents, after figuring out which scent belonged to which name it was very easy for Harry to guess the names of the twins. The twins laughed, "Well, it seems our lil' Harry's got some tricks up his sleeves." The twins lead Harry to the table as the rest of the Weasleys jumped up at said "Surprise! Happy Birthday Harry." As Mrs. Weasley bent down and from under the table brought up a cage with a beautiful snowy owl inside. Harry was shocked, they had gotten him a present. He had only known them for a week, and they decided to spend money on him, for a present for his birthday. He rushed over and hugged Mrs. Weasley as the rest of the family came together for a group hug. After that Harry sat down at the table and the Weasleys (Harry included) had dinner. Harry decided to name the snowy owl Hedwig, a name which he had remembered from reading A History of Magic. The rest of the day went off without a hitch, and as Harry fell asleep in his bed that night he smiled.
