Chapter 02 resurrections of the Marauders

Arriving at the Burrow Harry quickly felt more at home then he ever did at Number four Privet Drive. With all its 'normalness', the place was so normal it was freaky. The Burrow had a far greater feel to it. But then again, that could be because the people there were made of a wood than the Dursley's.

"Harry dear, so good to see you again." Molly Weasley exclaimed after Harry had arrived, once more falling out of the fireplace. Before Harry had even the smallest chance to get his bearings, he was engulfed in a Molly Weasley hug special.

After nearly suffocating Harry was finally released from the hug. And then greeted the same way by both Hermione and Ginny.

Finally after nearly having died three times from a hug, Harry was then able to get a good look at the Burrow. Which still managed to keep its messy lived in look.


WHOOSH…

Turning around Harry saw Fred and George appearing out of the fireplace dragging his trunk behind them.

"Harry mate,"

"So good"

"To have you"

"Here again."

The twins spoke, as always finishing each others sentences.

"It's great to be back, really."


Suddenly a popping sound was heard outside and Arthur Weasley came walking in, looking quite mad.

"FRED, GEORGE, GET HERE THIS INSTANCE." The normally timed and soft spoken man bellowed.

Winching, the twins moved to where their father was, ready to receive their punishment. After all, their mother was scary, once their father was mad however, he was down right frightening.

"Yes,"

"Father."

"How dare you let loose your candy on those poor unsuspecting muggles!" Mister Weasley demanded.

"We've only"

"Done it,"

"To Punish"

"Them, for"

"Abusing"

"Harry"

"That doesn't give you the right to curse those muggles with giant tongues or pig tails." Arthur accused.

"We know."

"Dad, but"

"Dumbledore won't"

"Do anything"

"About it"

"Either."

"And they"

"Needed to"

"Be taught a"

"Lesson."

"I know boys, but you cant just go about cursing muggles, even if your candy is very successful in doing just that." Arthur said with a smile gracing his face. Showing the Weasley twins, that the man wasn't really mad.

"Ow the"

"Shame, to"

"Be pranked by"

"Our own"

"Father."

With that crises averted, The twins started moved back in side, knowing that at least one of their parents found their ability to make gag gifts and pranks good. And perhaps would even support them in opening their own shop.


Finding Harry and Ron speaking about the upcoming world championship Quidditch, the twins and surprisingly Ginny fastly joined the debate on whether Bulgaria or Ireland would win.

While Ron was adamant that Bulgaria would win hands down, the twins seemed to believe that Ireland would win, but that the Bulgarian seeker would catch the snitch. Ginny apparently believed that it would somewhere in between, and that either team had an equal chance at the cup, but that Bulgaria would get the snitch.

It was at this point in the discussion that Arthur Weasley came walking in, having heard a commend from Ron, who was willing to give his first offspring to the one able to get him a ticket.

"Well son, I don't know if I want to raise your child, but Ludo did give me tickets for the entire family as well as Harry and Hermione."

"Really dad, you meant Bagman when you referred to Ludo didn't you?"

"That I did Ron, as we're both Department Heads, we meet occasionally and thus Ludo invited our family to the cup." Arthur said.

Then with a smirk the head of the Weasley family said; "And we're in the Top Box too, along with the Ministers of Magic for Bulgaria, England, Wales and Ireland."

"Bloody Hell dad, how'd Bagman fix that up for you?"

"Language Ron." Hermione instantly scolded. Coming into the room just as Ron exclaimed his shock and surprise.

"Sorry Hermione." Ron mumbled.

"Well to answer your question, we were invited because were hosting Harry over the summers. It seems that the Welsh minister wanted to meet Harry, seeing as the Potters are a Welsh family."

"So it's only because of Harry." Ron grumbled jealously.

"No Ron, that netted us the top box, I had already made arrangements for the tickets. But Ludo didn't know whether or not he could provide them. Now apologize to Harry."

"Oh, I'm sorry Harry, its just that you always seem to get everything."

"Yeah, everything, such as verbal abuse, dead parents and Voldemort wanting me dead life's just peachy Ron." Harry nearly spat at the boy. Wanting his first friend to understand what had been sacrificed for the fame, the fortune and people wanting to be his friend.

After several days of ignoring Ron, Harry finally accepted Ron's apology and things seemed to become normal again. And it seemed just in time to.

Because their Hogwarts letters came on the wings of Hogwarts owls.

Should the student decides to switch classes, the student needs to acquire the following book:

- Enchanting - A basic guide to enchantment;

- Law and Custom - Magical Law and Customs, the understanding;

- Music – Music made Magical.

Starring at his List, Harry noted that he had all the required books and decided to drop divination and take up Ancient Runes and Healing. As he figured that Runes were a family specialty and Healing would teach him how to heal his own wounds. A good choice since he seemed to get injured so much. It was a good thing they'd go to Diagon Ally the next day. Harry found he only needed to get new clothes, a new claudron, the correct set of potion supplies and two books, namely: Rune Dictionary and Common Magical Ailments and Afflictions.

Penning a quick letter to McGonnagall to let the Deputy know of his new class selection. Harry went to bed. Debating whether to tell his switch to Ron and Hermione directly in the morning or when they were at Flourish and Blotts.
