Harry Potter and the Gryffindor Wannabe
(AN: Set after Deathly Hallows. This is after Voldemort is dead and they go back to Hogwarts for their last year and every one has to repeat their last year there because they really didn't learn anything good.)
Disclaimer: I do own any of the Harry Potter Characters only the ones I made up in various houses. I only own Alyssa, Raven, Ivy, and whoever else I make up. J.K. Rowling owns the original characters of Harry Potter…I might have a character or two that have died alive in this dimension.
Chapter 3: To The Burrow
Alyssa had her things put together. She put Cinder in his carrier and put on a traveling cloak.
Lucius walked into Alyssa's room and smiled, "Are you ready to go?"
Aly nodded, "Can we Apparate to the opening of their woods near their front gate?"
"Of course," Lucius said as Narcissa walked in with Draco behind her.
Alyssa hugged her mother then hugged Draco, "I'll see you at school. Oh please promise me that you won't bug my friends anymore."
"I'll try."
Alyssa let go of her brother and smiled to her mother and brother, "Good-bye mum."
And with that Alyssa grabbed the carrier that Cinder was in and Disapparated with her father to the Weasley's Burrow.
Alyssa felt the air get sucked out of her lungs then felt her feet slam on the ground. "I have to get used to that," She said as she saw the lights from the kitchen of the Burrow on.
Aly then turned to her father and hugged him then took her Hogwarts trunk, "Bye dad. See you and mum soon."
"Good-bye darling." Lucius said before he Disapparated back to Malfoy Manor. (Who knew Mr. Malfoy could have a good side?)
Alyssa headed through the gate with the carrier in one hand and her trunk in the other.
Mrs. Weasley looked out the window and gasped happily. Harry, Ron, and Hermione looked at her with confusion written on their faces.
Ginny stood up and went to her mother, "Mum what's—Eeee!" Ginny squealed happily before running out of the kitchen door way.
Harry and Ron shrugged to one another and Hermione followed Ginny then squealed as well.
Harry heard another squeal that didn't belong to Ginny or Hermione but to, "Alyssa!"
Harry bolted out the door with Ron behind him and they both saw Alyssa in a group hug with Hermione and Ginny.
"I thought you weren't coming!" Ron spoke and hugged Alyssa after Hermione and Ginny did, "Harry didn't you say she wasn't coming."
Alyssa smiled at Harry, "Surprise!"
Harry looked a bit mad at Alyssa, "You come a week late and have your friends worried sick about you and all you can say is, Surprise?"
Aly looked to ground, "I'm sorry I just forgot... Something happened two weeks ago. I said through the Patronus that I'd tell you on the train to school."
Harry smiled at her, "I'm kidding with you!"
Alyssa fixed Harry with a deadly glare. "Well you're a jerk! I'm going home," Alyssa said and was about to turn on her heel.
"No Alyssa wait…"
"Got'cha back!" Alyssa laughed at the look of guilt that quickly fell off Harry's face.
Harry smiled, "Good one."
Alyssa walked up to Harry and threw her arms around his neck.
They hugged until Mr. and Mrs. Weasley came out, "Aly dear we were worried you weren't coming."
Alyssa smiled, "I'm sorry Mrs. Weasley."
"It's quite alright dear." Mr. Weasley smiled to her.
"Are Percy and George around?" She asked Mrs. Weasley, restraining herself from saying Fred's name.
"They're in George's room going through what new products they are going to make for Weasley Wizards Wheezes."
"They're partners now?"
Ron nodded his head, "Yeah Percy has good ideas and knows how to work a business."
Alyssa nodded, "They'll do well together. So how was your summer Ron, Harry?"
Harry nodded, "It was fine."
Ron put his arm around Harry's shoulder. "What do you mean it was fine? You were practically moping around half the time. And he's Quidditch Captain again and Head Boy. He gets to share a dorm with Head Girl."
Alyssa smiled happily, "Good for you Harry! Hermione sorry you didn't make Head Girl…"
Hermione nodded, "It's alright… How'd you know?"
"The look on your face when Ron mentioned Head Boy. I assume your still a prefect?" Alyssa asked and Hermione nodded again in response.
"And another thing… I'm Head Girl." Alyssa said casually.
"Congratulations!" Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Ginny said at once.
"Thanks! I'm going to go say hi to George and Percy." Alyssa headed inside with Cinder in his carrier leaving her trunk when Mr. Weasley offered to take it inside.
Alyssa knocked on George's door and waited.
George spoke, "Ron not now we're brainstorming here. So bugger off."
Alyssa snickered and knocked on the door again hearing George get up and start opening the door.
"Ron I said—Alyssa!" George hugged her and pulled her into the room, "Percy look who's here!"
Percy stood up and hugged Alyssa, "Hey Alyssa how are you."
"I'm fine how are you two?"
"We're fine. It's just weird you know..." George said shrugging before changing the subject, "Everyone thought you weren't coming."
Aly smiled, "I wanted to surprise everyone."
George smiled and Percy spoke up, "So you guys are all going back to Hogwarts in a week right."
"Yup!" Alyssa nodded, pooping the 'p'.
"Meow."
Alyssa smiled, "Aw, You wanna come out now?"
"Meow."
Aly laughed, "Okay." She opened the carrier and he jumped onto her shoulders.
George laughed, "Does he think he's an owl?"
Aly giggled, "I think so. I'll let you get back to brainstorming. See you in the morning."
Alyssa walked out of the room and walked down to the kitchen and went into the living room finding Harry, Ron, and Hermione sitting on the couch.
"Ron and Hermione are… cuddling… Why? Did I miss something?" Aly whispered to Harry.
"Ron asked Hermione out two days after she came over here."
Aly's mouth formed and "o" shape, "It's about bloody time. Well they do look cute together."
Harry nodded in agreement, "I know."
"You guys go to Diagon Alley yet?" Alyssa watched Harry shake his head.
"No, did you?"
Aly shook her head as well.
"Mrs. Weasley said we are going tomorrow to get our school supplies."
Aly nodded, "Summer flew by so quickly. I just hope that doesn't happen at school no matter how boring the classes are."
Harry nodded in agreement, "I hope so too."
Alyssa leaned her head on Harry's shoulder and yawned. She fell asleep soon after in that position on Harry's shoulder with his arm around her. Harry smiled down at her sleeping peacefully in his arms. He leaned his head on hers and soon fell asleep too.
Ron looked over at the two and smiled to Hermione, "Do you think they will ever tell one another they like each other?"
Hermione just shrugged, "Only time will tell." The two whispered to each other before they fell asleep as well as Harry and Alyssa.
Mr. and Mrs. Weasley walked in and smiled, "Lets leave them here Arthur." Mr. Weasley agreed with his wife and they went upstairs to bed.
The next morning Harry woke up to see Aly still sound asleep in his arms. He smiled then looked at Ron with Hermione's head leaning on his chest and him with his arms around her. He looked through the doorway to see Mrs. Weasley making breakfast the magical way. Feeling Aly stir in his arms he looked down at her smiling.
She fluttered her eyes then opened looking up at Harry and blushed.
"Good morning Aly."
Alyssa smiled to him, "Morning Harry. Did we fall asleep here?"
Harry nodded and they both saw their cheeks turn pink.
Mrs. Weasley came in, "Oh Harry and Aly dears why don't you go eat breakfast. While I wake Ron and Hermione up."
Harry and Aly nodded, "Alright Mrs. Weasley."
Alyssa got up and Harry moved his arm and stood up as well as he grabbed her hand and led her to the kitchen. Aly smiled and sat next to Harry.
They heard Mrs. Weasley waking up her son, "Ronald Weasley!"
They heard Hermione yelp when Ron jumped, "Sorry Mione didn't mean to scare you."
"It's alright Ron. Good Morning Mrs. Weasley."
"Good morning Hermione dear. Now you two go into the kitchen to eat breakfast with Harry and Alyssa. They're waiting in there for you."
Alyssa smirked to Harry as Ron and Hermione came into the kitchen and they sat across from them.
"How'd you sleep Hermione?" Aly asked her friend Hermione and giggled when she saw her blush.
"Shut up Alyssa."
Alyssa looked at her in mock shock, "I can't ask my best girlfriend how she slept last night?"
"What about you? You look cozy last night when you fell asleep."
Alyssa blushed a little then smiled, "I was quite comfortable. Harry sure knows how to keep a firm but soft grip on a girl when they fall asleep in his arms." Aly joked to Hermione then felt her face go red after realizing what she said.
Ron smiled, "Well that might happen more since you two are sharing your own private dorms Head's Boy and Girl!"
Now this time Harry blushed and Aly only got redder if that was possible.
After everyone came down and ate an excellent breakfast made by Mrs. Weasley. Harry, Ron, Hermione, Aly, and Ginny put on a black cloak over their muggle clothes. The cloaks had the Gryffindor lion emblem on it. George, Percy, Mr. Weasley, Ginny, Harry, Ron, Hermione, Alyssa and Mrs. Weasley where standing in front of the Weasley's fireplace.
Mrs. Weasley took the pot of Floo powder and walked over to Ron, "Ron you go first."
Ron stepped into the fireplace with a handful of the powder then dropped it, "Diagon Alley!"
Ron disappeared in emerald flames and Alyssa went next, "Diagon Alley!" The same thing happened to Harry, Hermione and the rest of the Weasley's.
Harry, Aly, Hermione, Ron, and Ginny went to their robes refitted. Ron grew another couple inches so did Harry. Alyssa grew three inches taller, and Hermione grew two more inches. Ginny had grown four inches and was as tall as Hermione.
After that they went to Florish and Blott's to get their school books. When that was done Alyssa went with Hermione and Ginny to the pet store where they sold owls, cats, and other animals. They walked pass a few owls when a black owl with white spots on its feathers caught Alyssa's eye. It looked like Hedwig but the color was opposite except for the amber eyes and its gender. "I want to get that owl for Harry. It'll be my present to him since I still haven't given him anything for his birthday yet."
Alyssa brought the bird and giggled with Hermione and Ginny. They past by Malfoy without even noticing him.
What is my sister doing with an owl? She already has a cat… He saw her walk up behind Harry and tapped his shoulder. Draco watched him turn around and give Alyssa a grin before he noticed the bird.
"HAPPY LATE BIRTHDAY HARRY!"
Draco watched as Harry smiled widely.
"Thank you Alyssa she looks almost like Hedwig."
Alyssa nodded in response, "I know. I wanted to get you something special."
Harry nodded at the owl and smiled, "I'll name her Midnight."
Mrs. Weasley saw the bird, "Let me hold on to that and you can go get some ice cream or something together."
Harry and Aly nodded, "Alright. Thank you."
The woman only smiled, "Your welcome my dears."
Draco followed Alyssa around with Harry making sure Harry did nothing bad to her (as if he would he loves the girl for gods sakes). Harry noticed Malfoy following them after they stopped at an ice cream parlor.
"I'll have chocolate and vanilla please." Alyssa asked then turned to Harry, "What do you want Harry?"
He looked at her and answered, "I'll have the same."
Harry paid for the ice cream and they sat down to eat. Harry watched Malfoy sit two tables away watching them.
Alyssa ate her ice cream then looked up at Harry noticing he had barely touched his at all, "Harry you alright?"
He looked at her and smiled, "Yes, I'm fine."
Harry noticed Malfoy staring at Alyssa and shook his head at him, "What do you want Malfoy? What are you staring at Alyssa for?"
Malfoy's head snapped to Harry's direction, "That's none of your business Potter!"
Alyssa sighed then looked at her brother with pleading eyes saying, 'You promised!'
Draco looked at her then away feeling like a jerk for breaking the promise he sort of made his sister.
"That's my friend you're staring at so I'll make it my business, Malfoy!"
Alyssa got up and touched Harry's arm, "Come on Harry lets go."
Harry followed her out and glared back to Malfoy a few times.
She obviously didn't tell them yet, Draco thought to himself, "Oh well." He got up and went to find his parents.
Alyssa walked with Harry into a Quidditch supplies store, "Harry everyone chipped in and got you a new Firebolt. A gift from all of us for your birthday."
She walked up to the a cashier, "I'm here for a package half paid for, for Harry Potter. I've come to pick it up and pay the rest of the money."
When Alyssa was in second year she had learnt there was a Bank account at Gringotts in her name, at first she had thought it was set up for all muggleborns that attended Hogwarts to make it easier when they went to buy school supplies. When she learnt that Hermione didn't have one in her name she thought it was weird and thought nothing of it till recently. She learned that her mother and set it up for her. Narcissa had always kept track of her little girl to make sure she was safe. (AN:: Felt like I needed to add that in for some reason… anywho on with the story!) Now she didn't feel as bad spending it when she knew who is came from.
The clerk nodded and went to the back and came back a few moments later carrying a wrapped up broomstick.
"Thank you." Alyssa went over to Harry and handed him his new broomstick, "This was from everyone. Quidditch Captain. By the way when are you setting the try outs for the team?"
Harry laughed, "You know you're on the team no matter what. You are the greatest Chaser I've ever seen!"
Alyssa blushed with pride at the compliment, "Thanks Harry. Now lets go before they leave without us!"
Aly grabbed his hand and lead him out the store. Everyone was waiting just outside the Quidditch store.
Ron clapped Harry on the back, "Happy Birthday mate."
"Thank you everyone. You didn't have to do this though."
Aly smiled, "We know but we wanted to."
Harry smiled and impulsively kissed her on the cheek before whispering in her ear, "Happy Birthday to you too."
"Thanks," Alyssa said blushing before she looked away.
"So does everyone have what they need?"
Everyone nodded then Aly smiled, "Alright. TO THE BURROW!"
They all laughed and walked to the Leaky Cauldron to Floo back to The Burrow.
