A/N: Hello all you lovely people! Thanks again for reading my story, I love your reviews! That is all. :D
Disclaimer: We all know that J.K. Rowling owns the characters and plots of Harry Potter, so why the hell would you think I do?? Because like I said in the previous disclaimers…I ain't her!!!
Harry rolled over in his bed to look at the clock; it read 9:17 am. He knew that in ten hours he would see his parents, Sirius, and Remus. Harry sat up, and looked over at Fred, Ron and George's beds. They were still asleep. Then he looked over at the four other, now empty, beds. He wondered why they eventually changed it to only five per room instead of eight. Quietly he got out of bed and headed down to the common room.
To his dismay, he saw Ginny sitting on the couch alone, reading a book. He had hoped that Hermione would have been there too. He sat down in a chair a short distance behind where Ginny was sitting.
Ginny looked up,
"Damn it, why does he have to look so god damn sexy" she thought to herself as he sat down.
She looked back down at her book.
They sat in silence for a few minutes, Ginny never looking up and Harry staring at her the entire time, both too stubborn to talk.
He desperately wanted to say something to her, but what? What could he say that wouldn't make her mad at him?
"Where's Hermione?' he finally said.
Ginny didn't even look up. "Library." She said shortly.
"Oh." He slumped down in his chair. "Listen Ginny…" he stood up and walked over to her, sitting on a chair next to the couch. "…I just wanted to say I'm sorry, I didn't mean to embarrass you in front of that boy." He said hoping she wouldn't blow up at him.
She softly closed her book and put it down, she looked at him.
"Why'd you do it?" she asked simply.
"Because I love you and it killed me to see you with him." He desperately wanted to shout out. She secretly wanted him to say that too.
Instead he said; "I guess it was just a brotherly instinct. I mean Ron would do the same thing, right?"
Her heart sank after hearing his response, but she didn't let him see that.
"Oh." She didn't want to stay mad at him. "Well still, I'm mad at you for doing it, but I guess we can be on speaking terms, but if you ever do it again…"
"I won't." Harry said eagerly and smiled.
Ginny's heart melted, he was so hot, although his smile had always melted her heart, ever since she met him. She smiled back.
Several hours later, the six Gryffindors headed down to the first floor, it was only two minutes until the Hogwarts express was to arrive and the students file in.
They were all in there robes which they packed in Fred and George's suit-squares. When they reached the first floor they headed outside so when the students filed in through the doors they could easily sneak in with the crowd.
About a minute later the group saw the carriages riding towards them.
Harry's heart was beating fast, he imagined everyone else's were too.
As the students got out and headed for the entrance to Hogwarts, Harry, Ron, Hermione, Fred, George, and Ginny joined them and walked into the great hall and sat at the Gryffindor table.
Suddenly Draco walked passes them, heading for the Slytherin table. Fred and George snickered to themselves. Hermione turned and glared at them.
"What's so funny you two?" she said sternly.
"Oh, Draco's last name." Fred answered giggling fiercely.
"What's wrong with his name!?" Hermione demanded.
"It means vagina in German." George burst out laughing. Everyone joined in besides Hermione.
"You two are so immature."
Harry separated from the fight and looked up at the staff table, and saw a younger version of the staff members in 2007, minus a few teachers. His attention was distracted by a group of girls laughing behind him. He whirled around and saw none other than his mother, with two other friends.
He smiled at them. One of the girls with his mom noticed him and pulled Lily and the other friend down right next to him.
"Hi, I don't know you, but I sure as hell want to." The girl said. She had short brown hair that was straightened and reached a little below her jaw; her bangs fell off to the side of her face, almost blocking her left eye. "My name's Amanda Carrie, this is Lily Evans and Ryann Sarchino."
Ryann had wavy redish-blonish hair that went a little below her shoulders. Lily's hair was red, and she had the green eyes he had, that everyone told him was the only difference between him and his dad.
"Hi, I'm Harry P... Marana." He quickly corrected himself. "These are my friends Ron, Ginny, Fred and George Perry, and this is Hermione Rebuke."
"Pleased to meet you." Amanda said to all of them, and then turned back to Harry. "So really, why don't I know someone as gorgeous as you?"
"Amanda!" Lily scornfully looked at her friend. Harry smiled; he finally was getting to talk to hi mom.
"Oh Lily, give it up, it's not like she'll ever learn." Ryann laughed at Amanda.
"Hey!" Amanda protested then turned back to Harry, "Are you going to answer my question?" she smiled flashing a set of white teeth at Harry.
"We're transfers from Arkathomian, it's in northern Europe." Harry answered.
"Really I have a cousin who goes there." Lily said to Harry.
Harry froze.
"Yeah, do you know a Marcus Evans?' she asked.
"Oh yeah." Hermione butted in saving Harry. "He's so nice." She lied.
"Really?" Lily said sounding surprised, "He's normally a huge bastard."
"Oh…well…not to me." Hermione said hoping that someone would change the subject soon.
"Hey! I hope you're not talking about me." a deep voice said behind them. Everyone looked up and saw Sirius Black, along with Remus Lupin, Peter Petegrew and…James Potter.
"Of course not. You're never a bastard." Lily said jokingly. Harry could tell that they were friends. "I was talking about Marcus, my cousin."
"Oh…what a bastard." Sirius said plainly and sat down across the table from Harry, Lily, Ryann, and Amanda. James, Remus, and Peter followed him.
"Well she doesn't agree with that." Lily said pointing to Hermione and smiled.
"That's a first." Remus said laughing.
Hermione decided to laugh too.
"By the way who are you?" he asked.
"Oh…my name's Hermione, this is Harry, Ron, Ginny, Fred, and George, we're transfers from Arkathomian." She introduced everyone.
"Well it's a pleasure," Sirius said winking at Hermione.
"Sirius, come on, it's been less than a minute and you're already hitting on her?" Amanda said harshly to him.
"Well you're one to talk!" Ryann laughed at Amanda.
Just then McGonagall came in with a timid group of first years, when the sorting began Amanda whispered to the group;
"How were all your summers?"
"Good." Replied James.
"Fine." Peter said
"Fun" Remus answered.
"Sex-tastic!' Sirius said, getting an eye roll from all the girls.
Amanda turned to Lily.
"I bet none of you had as bad a summer as I did, you all are so lucky you don't have to spend the entire summer with Petunia and her new boyfriend Vernon." Lily rolled her eyes.
Harry laughed.
Lily gave him a funny look.
"What's so funny?" she asked.
"Oh…um…" the truth was he knew exactly how she felt, having spent most of the summer with not only Petunia and Vernon but their pig son, Dudley. "Ron told me a funny joke." He said dumbly, mentally hitting himself.
"Really I love jokes!" Sirius said excitedly "Let's hear it."
"Well…it goes…um…why don't you tell it Ron, after all it's your joke." Harry said trying to think of a joke, but then giving up. He nudged Ron in the rib cage.
"What!?" Ron said angrily at Harry, giving him a look.
"You tell them that funny joke, the one you told me earlier." Harry winked so no one would notice except for Ron.
Ron gave him an angry look then turned back to the rest of the group.
"Well…uh…it goes…" Ron racked his brain for a funny joke. "Three men, a Scot, an English man and a sumo wrestler were going to commit suicide by jumping of the top of a building. The Scot jumped off and shouted ''God save Scotland!'' The English man jumped off and shouted ''God Save England!'' The Sumo wrestler jumped off and shouted ''God save the person who I land on!''"
When he finished he started cracking up and nearly fell off his chair. Sirius joined him, but actually did fall off his chair causing a few students and teachers to look over just as a blonde girl got sorted into Slytherin.
The remainder of the group stared at him. Not laughing.
Harry gave Ron an evil look. "That's the best you could think of?" he said through his clenched jaw.
"Oh don't even start with me! You're the one who laughed" Ron angrily whispered back.
Sirius, meanwhile, was still laughing hysterically.
"That joke wasn't even funny, Padfoot, what are you laughing at?" Remus asked.
"Could you imagine a giant sumo wrestler falling off a building?" Sirius managed to get out between laughs, and then laughed even harder. Fred and George also began to snort with laughter at the image Sirius put in their heads.
In a few minutes, they finally pulled themselves together.
"I like you two!" Sirius said wiping away the tears in his eyes and moving over to Fred and George taking a seat next to them, they began having a long discussion about sumo wrestlers falling off buildings.
Harry turned away from Sirius, Fred and George, who he swore were made to be friends, and looked towards his father.
Every single person that had come up to Harry and told him that he looked just like his dad was right.
James was staring at Lily passionately, when Lily turned around to face him, he quickly lost the caring look in his eyes, and ruffled his hair.
"So Evans…did you miss me over the summer?" he said flirtatiously.
"I can honestly say no." she said with a tone Harry didn't expect from his mom to his dad.
"Aw come on Evans, no girl can possibly say they didn't miss me…even the ones I don't know." James said again messing up his hair.
"Well I think you should take that big head of yours out of the clouds for one second and maybe you'll see that that's not true." Lily shot back giving a fake smile.
James was about to shoot back a response when Dumbledore went up to make his yearly announcement. When he was done he waved his wand and a feast that could compare to no other appeared in front of the students.
Everyone immediately began to chow on the food that had just appeared. Between bites Harry looked up and saw Lily gazing at James quickly and then going back to eating. Harry smiled.
When the feast was done, Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny, Fred, George, Sirius, Remus, James, Lily, Peter, Ryann, and Amanda walked up to the Gryffindor Common room. They all went to their dorms.
"So you two really invent stuff?" Sirius asked Fred and George. "I mean I do too but some of this stuff is, like, better than Zonkos!"
Peter nodded his head.
Fred and George wanted to mention that they had a famous shop that was better than Zonkos, but decided for once in their lives to follow the rules that Dumbledore had set down.
"Yes, and we brought some want to see?" Fred bragged taking out his suit-square.
Sirius was amazed by this and spent the remainder of the time jumping in and out of it.
Harry walked up to James, this would be his first time speaking to him one on one, seeing as Fred, George, Sirius and Peter were focused on the suit-squares and Ron and Remus were playing a fantastic game of exploding snap.
"So I hear you play Quidditch." He said to James as James finished putting his stuff away.
"Yeah, I'm captain of the team, so if you're thinking of trying out, you might want to be nice to me." James laughed
Harry thought to himself that he would have been the captain of the Quidditch team too if he was in 2007.
"I can't try out…I'm a seeker and well you're occupying that spot, right?" Harry said thinking about how easy it was to talk to James.
"Oh are you really? Okay well one of these days we should get everyone together and have a match." James smiled.
"Yeah that'd be fun." Harry said.
"So have you seen any hot girls you like here?" James said bluntly
"Yeah, there are so many here compared to Arkathomian." Harry lied; he had spent most of his time there looking at his mom and dad. He kept thinking about how things would have been so much different if they had lived like him.
"I don't know, based on your representation, I mean that Ginny girl…" James said.
"Hey you stay away from my sister!" Ron yelled from across the room.
Harry laughed along with James.
When everyone went to bed Harry layed in bed awake thinking about how great this year was going to be.
