Chapter III

Hagrid's Good News

Hello to all my faithful reviewers, before I unravel the results to the poll, I do have a few things to say about flamers. I was surfing on the site and fell on a strange but amusing story, that I will not say the name. Anyway I go and check the reviews, you know I was wondering what they said about the story. Constructive criticism's something, but flames can be hurtful and those flames were very mean. So please I'm starting a new movement against flamers! If you're a flamer and you're reading this Shut up! Many of you don't even have stories and you blast the ones who have. Stop being jerks and leave people alone, nobody forced you to go read the Fanfic.

Now back to potter related stories. The results to the poll are… drum roll please… I open the envelope slowly, you're all glaring as it falls on the floor. Then I start listening to my MP3, some of you start screaming at me… alright, alright:

In first place and by far the winner of the poll, ours truly Ginny Weasley! With 21 votes! (fans are screaming loudly)

Second is the oh so very adorable and strange Sirius Black, with 8 votes.

Third is our favorite bookworm Hermione with 7 votes.

Fifth is the best werewolf of all time Remus Lupin with 6 votes, 'it's okay Remus don't feel sad, look Tonk's waving at you.'

Sixth in the poll is Ron Weasley with 4 votes.

Tied for seventh place are Dumbledore, Mrs. Wesley and Draco Malfoy. Draco's looking at me angrily… they had each 3 votes… 'it could have been worst Draco.'

And last but not least, Neville with two votes.

Now that that is done, some of you question my originality and you know what I'm very happy you do. Some of you are going to jump off your seats when you're going to read what happens a bit latter in the story. Not in the begging of the Fic of course… Right now I'm just… warming up. Hope you guys read all of that, if you didn't then right on! Now on with the story.

Last Chapter

Ginny nodded. "You have a wand and… all. Sometimes when you talk… its like, you're not eleven."

"No, I'm eleven, but… I'm eleven!" Harry said raising his voice.

Ginny exasperated "I better go- inside."

She got up, and pushed by him. Harry grabbed her wrist and looked into her eyes. They sparkled the same way they used to when they were together. They still pierced his soul to seek the truth. Shaking her head, she let go of him and walked away.

End of last chapter.

This chapter;

Harry was sitting on one of the chair in the kitchen, it was almost three in the mourning. No lights were opened. The only glow was the one of the moon and the stars that shinned through the window. He was unable to sleep, the nightmares of the war still very present in his mind.

He could still see the faces of his loved ones dying and then he would see them alive sleeping upstairs. All of them… but why was he given a second chance? Maybe it be best if he stayed on the down low, that's until Ron and Hermione would be older and would understand his story.

Mr. and Mrs. Weasley were waiting for someone in the living room the flames in the fireplace turned green. A giant steeped out. Mr. Weasley went up and greeted him.

"Hagrid how are you?"

"Fine, fine. Here' bought this fer Harry." He handed the cage to Arthur. "How's that little boy?"

"Not so little anymore. So you have some news from Dumbledore."

Harry heard them talking and approached his hear to the edge of the wall.

"It's about Ginny." Harry understood Hagrid's muffled voice through the wall. "For some reason the headmaster wants her at Hogwarts."

"Ginny at Hogwarts, but she's too young!" Molly said loudly, very clearly.

"Now, now Molly, if Albus thinks it's best for her to go a year early he must have his reasons." Mr. Weasley uttered silently.

Harry went up to the room he shared with Ron. A large and happy grin played on his face. Ginny at Hogwarts in the same year as him, only problem was… he couldn't just keep lying to her. The people around him were already deadly suspicious. Well at least he would past with flying colors divination. He fell asleep with no problem and no nightmares.

The later that morning when he went down for breakfast he saw Hedwig in her cage on the table. She hooted happily when she saw him. He was the first one down stairs and Mrs. Weasley had steeped out for a brief second.

Harry stared intensely at Hedwig. "Do you recognize me girl?"

Hedwig chirped something that sounded like a yes… to him anyway.

"Talking to yourself, Harry, that's never a good sign. Isn't in George." Fred joke along with is twin brother.

"No it's not… my, that's a fine owl!" George said surprised. "Wait that's the one we saw yesterday…"

"Yes indeed." Fred agreed.

" Morning." Percy greeted them sitting down on a chair and then he turned green with purple and pink polka-dots. Harry, Fred and George burst out laughing. Mrs. Weasley came in, she didn't even notice Percy's strange appearance.

"Good morning boys."

"Morning mum." They said as she made utensils and plate appear on the table. Ginny and Ron came down having heard the morning ruckus. Ron sat down on Harry's left and Ginny on his right then the two kids said at the same time.

"Percy what happened to you?" They said puzzled.

Mrs. Weasley turned to look at her son confounded. "Percy when did you… Why didn't I… how- Fred George, explain yourselves boys."

"It's only good natured fun mum." Fred started.

"No harm intended, honest." George finished.

"Well… it is a tad bit amusing, but it's still wrong boys. Percy's your brother and you should treat him as such. Now what did I forget… Oh yes the tomatoes. Where on earth did I put them… right I left them in the garden…"

"That's strange." Harry heard Ron say right next to him. "Mum's never that forgetful."

"Yeah and she should of bitten our heads off, like she usually does. Not that we're complaining, but knowing mum there's something wrong." Fred and George assumed mutually.

Ginny nodded at that. "She's probably going to burst through that door and start cleaning and cooking like mad."

"What's wrong with that, I'm famished!" Ron told them rubbing his belly as it grumbled loudly.

"You're always hungry Ron." Ginny teased him evilly. Ron crossed him arms and started pouting. Harry laughed at that, then when he received a glare that could kill from Ron, He shut up and looked at his empty plate.

"I'm a growing boy!" He argued.

Mrs. Weasley come rushing back in the tomatoes in her hands. She started cooking breakfast and soon enough they all had scrambled eggs, bacon, little cubed shaped French fries, some salad and toast in front of them. Harry much to Ron's dismay had received the double of everyone.

"Mrs. Weasley I can't eat all this…"

"Hush now Harry you need some fat in you, you're so scrawny." She spoke in a very defensive way.

"Mum is everything alright?" Ginny asked.

"Oh, yes dear… everything is fine… I'm just going to fell so very lonely…when you're all gone…" Mrs. Weasley said, and then regretted her words.

"All gone?" The Weasley sibling uttered in chorus.

"Forget I ever said that."

"Mum your hiding something…" Fred laughed.

"No, I'm not, eat your eggs Fred." She blurted out quickly.

"Definitely hiding something." George nodded at that.

They all eat their breakfast as quick as they could and then went back up to get dressed and start doing their chores. Ron and Percy were going to degnome the garden. Fred and George were going to feed the animals. Harry and Ginny were going to clean the attic, and try not to disturb the ghoul. Harry was happy that he could spend time with Ginny, even if it was mostly silence between them. He would hear her cough when she would drop a box and the cloud of dust circled her.

"Need any help?" He asked suppressing a little giggle.

"No I'm okay." She answered coldly and continued cleaning.

"If you say so." Harry replied, smirking at her childish behavior.

"I can't believe I'm stuck with you!" She screamed, the ghoul gave a loud yelp and threw a pipe in their direction. Harry reflex took the better of him and he caught it.

"What's so bad about that?" Harry asked slightly hurt.

"You're annoying." She answered.

"I'm annoying!" Harry turned around to face her. "How am I annoying?"

She didn't respond and looked away.

"Answer me Ginny."

"I just know you're hiding something, I can feel it." She had the same look on her face that she had when she died. That same knowing, serene look, and for a second she looked sixteen again and not nine, and for that second he almost said the truth about himself.

"I'm- I'm sorry Ginny but… you're wrong." He said, she growled then sighed. "Why don't we call a truce?" Harry held out his hand to her. Ginny looked septic, she stared and the hand and then at Harry's face. The young girl bit down her lip and then shook his hand. Harry smiled happily. "Friends?"

Ginny nodded. "Friends."

"HARRY, GINNY!" Mrs. Weasley called for them.

"COMING!" They said loudly and then Harry received a boot behind the head courtesy of the ghoul. "Son of a…"

"Harry!" Ginny gasped.

"Sorry…" He apologized.

They headed downstairs where the every one was all ready sited in the living room. Mr. Weasley was standing along with his wife waiting for the two of them. Ginny blinked and Harry rolled his eyes. They sat down on the floor near Ron and waited for the adults to start speaking, but it never came.

"Why are we all here?" Percy asked irritated.

"Oh, yes well… We have an announcement..." Mr. Weasley told them scratching his chin.

"We figured that part all ready." The twins cut him off.

"Let you father speak boys, he didn't come home from work just to be teased by you two." Molly scowled. "Now apologize."

"Sorry dad." They said mutually.

"Ginny isn't going to get boring without your brother around?" He posed the question to his daughter. The young girl nodded. "Would you want to go to Hogwarts too?"

"Yes I would… but what's this have to do… I'm going to Hogwarts!" Ginny understood, now it was her parents turn to nod. "I'm going to Hogwarts… I'M GOING TO HOGWARTS!" She jumped in joy.

"Now go get dressed nicely, I'll bring you to Diagon Alley so you can get you things." Molly said. Ginny ran upstairs to change.

"Now boys, why don't you go play Quidditch outside." Mr. Weasley said before heading back to the ministry.

As they were told to do the boys went outside to the broom shed and all took out a broom. They flew off to the Quidditch pitch, Harry forgot that when he was eleven he didn't know how to fly… and that he was just supposed to watch as the older boys flew around the cheap field. They all gapped as they saw him fly with grace and precision, doing moves that they never dreamed to do.

But for Harry this was salvation, he forgot about everything. The felling of the wind blowing in his hair, his mind was blank, and nothing could make him feel sorrow when he was flying, that's until his memories come crashing back into his mind.

The rest of the day past, they stayed outside until the sun came down not even bothering to go eat supper.

Ginny was sitting inside waiting for them to come in, in her Hogwarts uniform. Her red hair was put up into two braids and she was just radiant. She filled of innocence and young charm. Harry on the other hand was filled of dirt. His hair was sticking up with sweat and his face was almost brown.

But when she saw him, the smile on her face grew wider.

"Harry… I'm going to Hogwarts!" Ginny squealed in joy.

"I know it's great!" Harry said with the same delight as her. "We can be in the same year!"

"Like my uniform?" She asked.

"Of course."

The rest of the summer went by so quickly that soon they were back on platform nine and three quarters.

Next chapter

"Can we sit here?" A bucked tooth girl asked, a black curly haired girl was right behind her

"Sure." Harry said letting the girls sit with them.

"I'm Hermione granger and this is my cousin Samantha." Hermione introduced herself and cousin.

Harry gasped.
