Chapter 12: WWW and Other Pranks
It was a strange few weeks for Harry. Everyone wanted to know how he had been kidnapped, what he felt about the Weasley's and if he would ever speak to them again. It had gotten so daunting the only people he was talking with regularly were Professors, Hermione, Luna, and Neville. It was a very odd morning as well. Harry had just taken his seat when he saw Draco stand and make his way over.
"Malfoy." Harry greeted with a nod. The blond rose an eyebrow. "Potter." he responded. "I don't like you, but I think what the Weasley's did was wrong." Harry grinned. "Thanks. You want to sit?" he asked scooting closer to Hermione. Draco nodded and gracefully placed himself at the Gryffindor table. "It's amazing how easily everyone shuts up when we hold a civil conversation." he mused glaring around the table. Everyone in the silent hall began to chatter about this new development.
Harry chanced a glance at the staff table to see a furious looking Dumbledore, a smiling McGonagall, and a twitching Severus. Harry grinned even bigger and began chatting to his friends about Quidditch or whatever else caught their fancy. Luna had joined Neville and was sitting across from them. It was going great until four owls came swooping down, landing before Harry. He groaned.
Hermione helped him remove the letters and everyone noticed one was bright red, a howler. Harry frowned and shrugged opening the envelope.
"HOW DARE YOU ACCUSE MY CHILDREN OF SUCH THINGS. THEY LOVED YOU AND WOULD NEVER HAVE KIDNAPPED YOU. I WAS ON YOUR SIDE UNTIL RONALD EXPLAINED THAT YOU ARE GAY AND REFUSED TO MARRY MY GINNY. YOU UNGRATEFUL LITTLE WHELP, IF YOU EVER SET FOOT IN OUR HOUSE AGAIN I WILL HAVE THE AURORS ON YOU FASTER THAN YOU CAN SAY QUIDDITCH!" Mrs. Weasley's voice was shouted out through the once again silent hall. Harry looked at 'Mione who looked disgusted. She reached forward and opened a yellow parchment.
Dear Harry,
We just wanted you to know that we think Molly, Arthur, Ronald, and Ginerva have a few problems. You have always been and will always be our little brother. Please be aware we have a few tricks up our sleeves and we plan to make their lives hell. Also if you have switched over to the Dark Side as Ron keeps screaming when your name is brought up, please feel free to inform us.
Laughing merrily your brothers,
Gred and Forge
Harry was laughing too. He couldn't catch his breath. Chuckling he handed the letter to Draco as 'Mione was already smiling after reading over his shoulder. Draco's eyebrows rose higher and higher as he read. Finally he couldn't take it anymore and he cracked up.
The next letter had a beautiful dragon on the parchment. Harry had a feeling he knew who it was from. Smiling still he opened it.
Harry
It has come to my attention through some very enthusiastic twins that you are being mistreated by my former siblings. I say former because in my mind that family is no longer mine and I wish to no longer associate with them. Please don't fret over what they have done. I will be heading home soon to do some work with a magical crature reserve in London. They will get what they deserve. I just learned a new curse it's usually referred to as the Romanian Fire Ant Curse. I think you can determine at least a bit of what it does. Also, it is impossible to break unless the person admits every lie they have ever told.
Hope to see you soon
Charlie
Harry looked up to find Hermione and Draco grinning back at him. "That was rather cute." Draco said blushing at the implications. Harry chuckled even more. The last letter had no adornments whatsoever. It was written on a rather stiff parchment. Opening it they found another letter in Harry's favor.
Oh, Harry, can't you keep yourself out of trouble for just one minute. You poor thing. Those siblings of my husbands ought to be ashamed of themselves. You just keep your chin up, dear.
Fleur
She's right, you know. I am going to be moving back and doing work for Gringotts there, so if you need anything please write us. We would love to help. Also tell your friends to stick close and keep an eye on you. Don't do anything stupid. We love you little bro.
Bill
Harry was glad he had some friends still and that the older Weasley's were willing to stand by him. He gathered the notes and folded them back up placing them in his bag for safekeeping. "Good news?" Neville asked. Harry nodded. "Apparently not all of the Weasley's agree with the Mrs." He responded.
Four red haired men and one blond woman aparated swiftly to the crooked house many of them had once called home. They strode forward as one and the eldest stepped up and knocked. The door was opened moments later by their mother. She ushered them in calling out "Oh, my sons, come in. Come in, and Fleur too." as she smiled.
Dinner seemed to be very strained that evening. Charlie waited for the best moment and pulled out his wand cursing his siblings. It took only moments for it to take effect. Anytime either of them lied their whole body would feel like many large fire ants were biting it. The curse couldn't be removed until they listed every lie they had every told, which no one could truly remember, unless they hardly ever lied. The screaming when Ginny stated that Harry loved her was interesting to say the least. The twins set off to the bathroom at one point and placed new pranks on their beds that would make them dream their worst nightmares. Their clothing was charmed to constantly change colors and their shampoo had a new WWW product added to it. "Instant Bad Hair Day" that gave them a horrible hairdo no matter what they did and the longer they used the shampoo the worse the styles would become.
Bill on the other hand did things differently. He stood after all the food had been served and a rough grin spread over his face. "I am disgusted with all of you. You two especially." he began pointing to Ron and Ginny. "Harry is a great person and has been there for all of us at one time or another. If you can't apologize at the very least and mean it, I will not be returning to this house. Ever." And he walked away. Fleur shot them a glare and stood following her husband out the door. The twins and Charlie also stood. Fred grinned. "Have fun!" He said as George winked. Once they were gone all hell broke loose. Molly yelling and Ron and Ginny screaming about ants.
Fred, George, Bill, Fleur, and Charlie all aparated to the twins' shop in Diagon Alley. They sat around talking about their future, Harry, and the pranks they had pulled. Had Harry been there he would have been enveloped in love. He had a family and it was about time he realized it.
A/N: Ma hahaha... It's only going to get worse for them. Next chapter we learn about Dumbles...
