Author's POV

As promised I shall now describe the Weasley brood. Let's start at the top, Molly and Arthur Weasley. Arthur Weasley was a fine wizard overall, with bright red hair, blue eyes, and stood at 5'11" with a thin body. No one was more trustworthy or reliable like Arthur. He is the father to seven children, as great as Arthur is, he isn't really an important character in the twins' story. Molly Weasley, also not very important, but it would be rude to no include her. Molly is a plump short witch at 5'3", also with red hair and hazel eyes. She is a kind, gentle (when not punishing her children), loving and very motherly. Her and Arthur got married during the first wizarding war, we know they were dating while in school, but Molly has told countless stories to her daughter of using a love potion to ensnare her husband.

The next on our list are the oldest Weasley children, Bill and Charlie. Like their parents they were both had red hair, both had blue eyes and both were tall and thin but covered in muscles. Bill currently resides in Egypt as a curse breaker and is engaged with the lovely Fleur Delacour. Charlie lives in Romania and works with Dragons. Both men are rarely seen in this story.

Next is Percy Weasley, however, he is only mentioned in this story and never actually see him, he is a red head as well, with blue eyes, tall and lanky. He works at the Ministry of Magic as a Court Scribe. On to the twins, Fred and George. They are identical twins, both with red hair and brown eyes, tall and thin like the rest of their brothers. The twins are by far my favorite of the Weasleys. They are mischievous, cunning, and their heroes are the Marauders. They opened up theitr own store called Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes and are very successful.

Ron Weasley, is the best friend of Harry, and the youngest man in the family. And like his family, he has red hair and blue eyes, he's 5'9" and a bit stockier than his older siblings. Ron has a fiery temper, it doesn't take much to get him fired up. He's also immature and insensitive, but he is loyal to his friends and family and will do whatever he can to protect them. He sometimes feels overlooked, being the youngest male in his family, and being in Harry Potter's shadow.

Last is Ginny Weasley, the first female to be born in the Weasley family for generations, which also explains her parents doting and letting Ginny slide on a lot of things. She had flaming red hair, which she wore in a long mane, she is petite and has brown eyes and has a bigger temper than her mother. She is a forceful, independent girl, she is not afraid to to stand up to anybody. Her one of many flaws, however, was she has a huge crush on Harry, and when Harry turned her down (he didn't want to upset his friendship with Ron), she tried to give him a love potion. So now she is on house arrest with her mom until school starts again. Harry doesn't hold a grudge against her (he has a serious crush on her, but he doesn't want to act on it for reasons explained above). Who wold like a girl who pretty much tried to drug him so he will go out with her? Apparently Harry Bloody Potter. And that includes the introductions of the Weasleys.

Hermione Potter

I bolted up in my bed, shivering from the sweat on my body. I looked around wildly, making sure I still wasn't dreaming. A minute later, Harry burst into my room with nothing but boxers on. I stared at him a moment before I started screaming, thinking he was just like Dudley. Harry stared at me in confusion and started moving closer to me until I screamed louder and he froze. Moments later Sirius and Molly rushed inside my room, while the other occupants of the house stood outside.

"What is going on?' Molly demanded.

"I... I'm not sure." Harry replied. "I heard her screaming so I came in here, and then once she saw me she started screaming again."

Molly made her way to me slowly, I backed up to the end of my bed and pulled my knees up to my chest, staring at her terrified. "Someone floo McGonagall."

Ten minutes later McGonagall showed up in nothing but her nigt gown and robe. Her hair flowed in waves down her back. "Hermione." She rushed over to me and wrapped her arms around me. "What's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?"

I nodded meekly. "I did, and then Harry rushed in here." I whispered.

McGonagall turned her gaze to Harry noticing he was practically naked, she instantly understood. "Mr. Potter, if you would be so kind as to put pants on."

Harry looked down and then back up, smiling up at me sheepishly, "Sorry." He turned and left the room, coming back fully clothed. "I didn't mean to scare you Hermione. Just thought something awful happened."

"Don't worry Hermione. He is nothing like him, he was just worried about you. He would never do anything to hurt you." McGonagall whispered.

"Are you sure?" I asked meekly. She nodded and I turned back to Harry. "I am sorry I worried you. It was just a bad dream. Sorry to have disturbed you all."

Molly nodded, turning she shooed everybody back to bed. After she left there was only the four of us left. Sirius looked at McGonagall, nodded and left too. "Well, I should be getting back to bed. We have a big day tomorrow." I said good bye and she too left. Suddenly I was very aware of Harry in the room.

"I know you don't know me all that well Hermione, but you are my sister..." He hesitated, this mushy stuff wasn't for him. "...Well I am here if you ever want to talk."

I gave him a small smile. "Thank you Harry. And I'm sorry."

"I hope one of these days you will trust me enough to tell me what you buried so deep in your heart." He gave me one last smile and walked out of the room, shutting the door behind him with a click.

I was suddenly alone in a dark and unfamiliar place. I sat on the bed, knees still pressed against my chest as I looked around my room. Of course I couldn't see anything but the shadows the moon produced. I climbed off the bed, throwing on my clothes from yesterday and making my way to my door. As scary as this place was in the dead of night, I was still curious. Opening the door slowly, I peeked out, noticing the coast was clear I stepped out in the hall. Sighing in relief when I saw a candle lit hanging on the wall.

Picking it up, I made my way to the stairs. All the years of creeping around the Dursleys has paid off. I made my way to the main floor, the second floor was all bedrooms according to Harry. Once I reached the last step, I realized I was in some kind of sitting area with a very large fireplace. It looked large enough to fit three grown men in it. Shaking my head at the absurdness of a huge fireplace, I walked towards a door closet the stairs. Peeking in, I discovered the kitchen. My stomach grumbled at the prospect of food and proceeded into the kitchen. I started snooping in the cupboards looking for something to eat.

"Can I help Miss with something?" A squeaky voice asked.

Startled, I dropped the candle and let out a yelp. Looking around wildly, I didn't see anything. Until the candle I had was picked up off the floor. "What are you?"

"I am Minny Miss. I am a house elf." The thing replied in its squeaky voice. I'm assuming the elf was female, given her name. She was very short, only coming up to my knee, she had long ears that reminded me of rabbit ears, with out the fur. She had huge eyes that almost took up her whole face and she was wearing a very dirty yellow dress.

"Minny?" I asked. Wasn't that the name Harry gave me earlier. "What is it you do?"

'Whatever Master Harry and Master Sirius ask of me Miss." Minny smiled, or at least I think she smiled.

"I see. I'm sorry, I don't mean to bother you Minny; but I am awful hungry."

Her eyes sparkled. "Would Miss like Minny to make you something to eat?"

"Minny, what are yous doing? Yous know yous are not suppose ta be talking to strangers." I jumped again at the gravelly voice.

"Kreacher sir! I was just helping Miss." Minny pointed to me. "Miss is hungry."

Kreacher stepped closer to the light and I had to hold back the scream that threatened to come out. Kreacher looked like something out of my worse nightmare. He looked like Minny, but he seemed gruffer and not as kept as her. "I am sorry Kreacher. I didn't mean to get Minny in trouble."

Kreacher looked at me, his eyes narrowing. "Who you be?"

"Hermione." Minny's eyes started to sparkle again, while Kreacher kept looking at me. Not sure how much he could see with the little light. As if he could read my mind, the kitchen was suddenly illuminated. I blinked a few times, trying to adjust to the sudden brightness. When I turned back to Kreacher, his mouth fell open and his eyes widened. "Are you okay Kreacher?"

Kreacher shook his head roughly and turned his gaze to Minny. "Help Miss Hermione with the food and then get back to your job."

Minny nodded, "thank you Kreacher."

"Wait, you can join me in something to eat, can't you?" I asked quickly.

"Why would Miss want to eat with house elves?" Kreacher asked, suspicion in his voice.

I squirmed nervously under his gaze. "I... I just don't want to be alone. And I thought we could be friends."

"Friends?" Minny squeaked.

"Is that a bad thing?"

Minny turned towards Kreacher. "Let's be friends with Miss, Kreacher."

Kreacher was still staring at me, "Fine."

I smiled at them both and sat down at the table. "All right Minny. Please whip us up something good."

Minny beamed at me. "Right away Miss."

Twenty minutes later found the three of us eating chicken sandwiches and pumpkin juice to drink. "Wow Minny. This is good, thank you."

Minny beamed at me, "your welcome Miss."

"How long have you worked her for?" I asked the pair, but it was Minny who answered.

"Kreacher has been here for almost fifty years and Minny has been here for six."

"Fifty years? That's impressive Kreacher." I smiled at him. "So your old mistress is the woman who is hanging up on the wall by the door right?"

"Mistress died some years ago, I was all alone here until Master Sirius came back." He snarled.

"Do you not like him?"

"He is cruel." Was all he said. An hour went by before Kreacher insisted on getting back to work. "Minny, show Miss to the library." He turned to me, "you Miss are not as bad as other witches and wizards. Good night." He bowed slightly and walked out of the kitchen.

"That was a compliment, right Minny?" I asked the elf.

She nodded excitedly. "Kreacher doesn't like anybody Miss. He misses Master Regulus a lot, he was the only one who ever showed Kreacher kindness."

"How awful." I muttered.

"Would Miss like to see library now?" I nodded. Minny grabbed my hand and dragged me out of the kitchen back into the sitting room with the fireplace. She turned right and headed for the door on the other side of the room. I walked in the room and had to contain the joy that rushed through me. "Be careful Miss. If you find a spell, do not read it out loud."

"Thank you Minny." I grinned at her. The library wasn't all that big, but it was covered in books from the floor all the way to the ceiling. In the middle of the room was a large worn chair. Grabbing a random book of the shelf, I made my way to the chair, plopping down and getting comfortable. I glanced at the cover of the book. Black Family History was engraved elegantly along the middle of the book. I opened it and started to read.

A/N: Here is chapter five. Like always read and review. Reviews are always welcome. This chapter is more a filler, that way I can make next chapter about the month before school starts again. Hope you enjoy
