A few days later-The Burrow, the morning before going to Diagon Alley

Harry noticed Percy was miserable. Not that he really cared, but it was starting to get on his nerves. If Percy was not on the Weasley's couch with his face in the pillows, he was moping around outside. All his brother did was eat, sleep, and mope these days, and Harry was starting to get nervous.

"What's wrong with you!" he finally exclaimed that morning, "At least talk with the Weasleys! They're not me, are they?"

"Grrmf." grunted Percy in reply. Harry threw a pillow at him and stormed away, but as he opened the door, something soft hit him at the back of his head. He looked behind, expecting to see Ron or Fred and George, but instead he saw Percy grinning. It had been so long since Percy smiled, and it was great after seeing him frown for so long. Harry thought his face had melted into a permanent scowl.

"For your information," said Percy, copying an English accent-but failing, "I have been in fact talking to Fred and George, and let me tell you that they have quite a lot of pranks in store for you and your friend, Ron this year. And I am helping them."

"Oh really?" said Harry, rolling his eyes, "Well let me tell you that me, Ron and Hermione will not fall for your little tricks. Ron has know Fred and George his whole life! D'you really think you can fool us?"

"Yes. I think we can kick your butts."

"Kick… our… butts? Er, okay." said Harry, confused.

'It must be some strange American expression' he thought.

"Harry!" yelled Ron from somewhere upstairs, "I need help finding my Herbology Book!".

"Sorry to put a bee in your bonnet, but I really must go." said Harry, casually. Percy snickered, "Bee in my bonnet?". Harry left Percy downstairs and dashed up to Ron's room. He realized as he was striding up the stairs that that Percy a few seconds ago… was the brother he wanted to have, and always dreamed of having.

Diagon Alley

Percy hadn't seen anything very spectacular so far. Sure, the flying car was cool, but how was it any better than flying horses, or sword-fighting hydras? So he was expecting Diagon Alley to be as interesting as a library. And he hated libraries. So imagine his surprise when they traveled there using a chimney. And that wasn't the best part, the best part was the place itself.

Dozens of shops lined together with no space between them, and the contents of the shops: Owls, quills, parchment, dragon scales, unicorn tail hair. It was amazing. He wondered how he was going to get his school materials if he didn't have any money.

"Um, Harry…" said Percy, shaking Harry's arm, "Harry. How am I going to pay for all my stuff?"

"Glad you asked." said Harry, grinning, "We're heading towards Gringotts. The wizard's bank."

"Cool." said Percy as they made their way to a large white building. Percy wished he could've read the engravings on the doors, but his dyslexia made sure that everything turned mixed up and upside down.

A goblin led them towards a cart that was labeled 'FAMILY SIZE', and Percy sat up front. He looked ahead, it was like a roller coaster-going down, then in all directions. They passed hundreds of vaults, but finally stopped at one. Percy wondered if this would be he and Harry's vault, but it wasn't. Inside was a meager amount of silver and bronze coins. Fred and George's mother, Molly, scooped the whole lot of them into a small sack. Then they were back on the roller coaster. Deeper and deeper into the wizard's bank they went, until they stopped again. When the vault door opened, Percy was shocked. There were about a thousand golden coins, double the silver, and ten times the bronze.

"This is all… mine?" said Percy, incredulously.

"Ours, actually. You didn't think our mom and dad left us with nothing, did you?" replied Harry. Percy grinned and stuffed as much coins he could in his pockets. When they went back up, Percy looked around, choosing which shop to empty first. He decided on the one with beetles, and dragon livers displayed outside. As he ran towards the shop, Mrs. Weasley grabbed him by the shirt collar, "Woah hold on there, we're going to get your school books first."

Percy sighed and followed the Weasleys and Harry towards a bookshop.

"Harry! Ron!" cried a voice behind him. He glanced towards the sound and saw a girl with dark brown hair slam into him at full speed.

"Ow."

And hello again! I updated faster than last time did I? But still not fast enough for all of you, huh?

Thenameisstannasaur: Thank you so much. Your review really made me smile.

You know? After rereading this, I think I'll need to make an edit. But of course I won't delete this! If I did you guys would... what? Kill me? Spontaneously combust? Whatever? Yeah, I hope you keep reading! I have a planned ending already, but I don't know how many chapters this'll be. I don't limit myself on chapters, like others do. It's just my style.

I love all you reviewers! Your reviews made me happy.
