Chapter 2: Summer's EndWhen Harry woke up early next morning, he felt someone warm next to him. Opening his eyes, he saw one of the most beautiful women he had ever seen in his entire life lying asleep in front of him… heck even more beautiful than Ginny…
His mother...
She was so beautiful, like a goddess. He could never stop saying it. How could someone his age have such a beautiful Mom?
He felt like holding her in his arms for an eternity. He smiled and put her to bed with care. It was a bit difficult with his small body, but he succeeded eventually. Today was the day they would be going to Diagon Alley to get supplies for him and his twin. He had asked yesterday to go alone with his brother, but his Mum said no the moment he asked. He asked his Dad who usually let the kids do whatever they wanted, but he told Harry no as well. So he did what every kid did when they were children, he pouted. His Mom admitted he looked very adorable when he pouted. He had flushed red and stopped.
So today he was going to go to Diagon Alley with his Mum and his twin brother. His Dad had wanted to come along, but he was given the duty of watching the other kids. Not like he did it really well. He just let his brother and sisters do whatever they wanted. He couldn't believe his Mum trusted Dad so thoroughly.
Maybe that was what being married was all about…
Kissing his mother's forehead, he went downstairs silently so he wouldn't wake anyone up. He began cooking while humming a song that Ginny taught had him. It was a lullaby that Mrs. Weasley had sung to Ginny when she was a little girl. Harry would always hum the song when he and Ginny were together sleeping. Speaking of Ginny, he felt kind of guilty about her. He had only thought about her a scant few times since he came to this dimension. But then he cheered up knowing that he would see Ginny again. Then he thought that he should first check his options. Now that he didn't have Voldemort after him he probably could have any girl he wanted.
Harry was snapped out of his thoughts when his mother kissed him on the cheek and started helping him cook breakfast.
Now that Harry would help his mother cook most of the time, his sisters got off easy. He loved his sisters dearly; they were all so cheerful and happy. Harry knew his sisters loved him to bits, and he loved them to.
"Harry…" His mother said interrupting his thoughts.
"Yes Mum?" Harry gave her his biggest kid smile which made her smile warmly.
"After we're done cooking, we're going to eat without them, and leave early. The earlier we leave the better." His Mum said while they were putting the finishing touches on the food.
As usual Bill was the only one sitting at the breakfast table. He was absent mindedly gazing at the rising sun.
Harry had to admit, his mother was like a combination of Hermione and Ginny. She was smart, strict, kind, loving, fun, outgoing, and everything you ever desired for a mother. She loved to read and she complimented him when she saw him reading. She detested it when they played Quidditch. Apparently, Harry and his twin were the only ones in the family so far that loved to read next to Rosa and Little Lily. Little Lily was already reading baby stories at the age of three.
After they finished their breakfast, the trio had left the moment the rest of the family started to come downstairs to eat breakfast.
Harry loved hanging out with his Mum. You could have said he was a Momma's boy. Though he loved his father, he loved his mother more than his father. He would have told them about his Shadow Mage abilities but decided to keep it hidden until the time was right. It would seem suspicious if he became very powerful overnight. He's wasn't The Boy Who Lived in this dimension. He didn't want to be all over the Daily Prophet or attract Voldemort's attention. It was best to hide his full power, the less people who knew about his abilities the better. Like Moody said, 'Constant Vigilance.' Plus people would want to know how he got so powerful. He knew he was going to have to find a good excuse. He spared a thought for his twin who probably was more powerful than him even with most of his powers blocked.
The first thing his mother had done in Diagon Alley was go to Gringotts, much to Harry's displeasure. He had not forgotten about what the Goblins did in his dimension in the last war. They had sided with Voldemort and tried to crush the economy and had failed to realize they had screwed themselves over. With that in thought, the Ministry, and the entire Order of the Phoenix launched an assault on Gringotts.
Hoping that the Dark Lord would not forsake them, they stayed and fought for three days.
The Dark Lord never came to assist them knowing a defeat when they saw one…
With no other choice, the Goblins had surrendered to the Ministry and the Order of the Phoenix.
With their surrender, the Goblins were under heavy guard at all times and people who once left their money inside Gringotts, had it removed in fear that the Goblins would try and steal it. They were now heavily mistrusted and people who held partnerships with them had it destroyed and stayed away from them. The Goblins lost a lot of customers because of their mistake, not to mention the economy in the magical world plummeted in a dramatic way.
Getting back to his trip with his mother in Diagon Alley, they had a lot of fun there. They went clothes shopping with their mother and had ice creams. She loved ice cream. Their mother would also model and ask him if he liked what she wore. Harry made the right comment when he told her that she looked beautiful in anything which got him a kiss on the cheek and a hug. Bill was sitting in a corner and reading the stores catalogue. Harry saw Neville with his parents, they looked young and healthy. The moment he saw Neville he didn't like him one bit, when you looked at him, you could tell he was the stuck-up and spoiled kind. But he didn't want to judge him by first appearances. He was going to wait to get to know him first, then judge him. Though, for some reason, Harry had a feeling Neville was going to be like Draco Malfoy. The way Neville was walking and with his nose in the air in Diagon Alley, he acted like he owned the place. Harry was kind of glad that he wasn't raised in the wizard world. He would probably be a spoiled brat if he grew up with his parents if he survived the Killing curse. When they were out of earshot, his Mum spoke up.
"So that was The Boy Who Lived." His Mum spoke in a sarcastic tone when they saw Neville whining about not first years getting to play Quidditch.
Bill looked at Harry and asked, "You were not like that, were you?" in a whisper. It was only because of Harry's enhanced hearing that he heard his brother.
Harry smiled and mouthed 'No'.
Their mother had a sharp tongue when she was sarcastic and if you knew her well enough.
"Don't you like them Mum?" Harry asked. He remembered hearing that the Longbottoms were friends with the Potters in his time, but he never heard his parents say anything about them in this dimension.
"I used to like them, our families used to be best friends until their son became the Boy Who Lived. They are very difficult to handle and big headed nowadays. They act like they run the place. Ever since their son survived the Killing curse, Frank Longbottom was promoted to Captain of Magical Law Enforcement, even though he didn't earn it. Even thought he is equal to your father in ranking, he treats everyone around him like they are underclass. Alice was a sweet person, but she changed when her son survived the Killing curse. They were such great friends too, now they act as if they were the Malfoys. I swear, they are so….." Lily trailed off slightly angry while mumbling angry phrases.
Harry tried to calm his mother down. Harry was proud to hear that his father was the Captain of Magical Law Enforcement. Harry's father earned his rank as Captain of the Auror Division, but Frank Longbottom -or so he heard from his father and Sirius- had only got it because of his son. Harry knew only one way to stop his mother from blowing up. He was the only one in his family that could do the technique. It was something he created recently.
Immediately he held her fiercely and said "Mum, you're scaring me." Harry said in a pathetic sorry child like voice. Inwardly, Harry was a bit embarrassed for doing this. He had never played the pathetic little child before. He just hoped his Arch-enemy Draco Malfoy was not present or he would have died in embarrassment.
Bill looked at him and smirked.
She immediately stopped her muttering and apologized to him with a warm hug and a kiss on the nose.
Harry smiled at her. For some reason, out of the entire family, he was closest with her nowadays.
After they were done shopping, the last place they went to was the wand shop, 'Ollivanders.' They saw the Longbottoms leave from the wand shop. They were looking grim. Harry recognized the wand that Neville was holding. It was the Holly Phoenix wand. Well Harry knew immediately he wasn't getting that wand.
The moment they entered, Harry sensed the old man behind them with an invisibility spell. The moment he was about to reveal himself, Harry turned around with a dagger in his hand ready to strike him.
The man gave a surprised look as well as his mother. Her surprise look immediately turned into disapproval and shock and then outrage as she saw him wielding a dagger, a weapon.
"Harry James Potter! Where did you get that knife?" She said angrily.
"M-Mum…it's just for protection and it's not a knife, it's a dagger." Harry said trying to soothe his mother while Ollivander was watching them amused. His mother was having none of it, to her, a dagger and knife were the same.
Harry immediately felt the old man trying to probe his mind, Harry immediately increase his mental barriers to full power.
'Stay out of my Mum's and my head old man, and I won't kill you.' Harry said in his mind menacingly.
"Don't try that with me. Rest assured you will not like the consequences." Bill told him in a neutral tone. There was something in his tone that scared Ollivander. Lily just ignored Bill threatening Ollivander.
They had heard of Ollivander being a Legilimens. Ollivander was not a strong as Dumbledore or Snape, but he was good, so he still had to be careful around the old man. Ollivander showed no surprise outwardly; even though he was shocked inwardly. From what he could tell, Lily didn't know Occlumency, and she didn't know that her sons knew either.
"Hello Ms. Lily Evan Potter. 10 inches Willow with Unicorn hair correct?" Ollivander said still eyeing the two children with a delightful, yet curious look. Harry didn't trust that look, so he stayed quiet. Bill as always preferred to stay quiet.
"Yes that's correct Mr. Ollivander."
"Yes. Let's get down to business shall we? Which one of you will go first?" Bill stepped forward. "So Mr. Potter, which arm is your wand hand?" Ollivander asked. "Right" Bill replied. "Ok." Ollivander said measuring his arm. Ollivander gave him some wands to try out. "Try this wand 8 inches wood of elder and tail feather of a phoenix." Bill glowed golden for a movement when he touched the wand.
"That seems to be the wand for you Mr. Potter. It is an excellent wand for combat." Bill looked at his wand with contempt.
Lily congratulated Bill for his new wand.
'Figures. A warrior gets a wand which is perfect for combat. Now what type a wand will I get.' Harry thought.
"Mr. Potter, which arm is your wand hand?" Ollivander asked turning to Harry.
Harry smiled and answered.
"I am Ambidextrous." Harry said ignoring his mothers gasp. He had purposely left his double wands at home. He knew Ollivander could sense wands because he was a Wand Crafter.
"Sweetie, you can write with both hands? How come you never told us?" She said in surprise.
Harry shrugged. "I thought you had already known." He gave her a warm smile to calm her down. It wasn't necessary a lie, he just started learning how to use both hands at once when he was taught how to duel with both hands by Nicholas Flamel and his wife.
"Yes… that's interesting." Ollivander said while the tape measures were working furiously.
For some reason, it felt forever, Ollivander was getting excited. The wands he tried were twice as much more than last time.
He kept murmuring to himself looking more and more excited as further time passed by.
When none of the wands they had tried in the store were compatible with Harry, he spoke.
"Mr. Potter, I have given you all my wands that was to match your capabilities, it seems like none would accept you." Ollivander said, almost to himself.
"What? That can't be right!" Harry said shocked. That can't be right. There had to be at least one compatible wand in this shop! He wasn't planning on using his old wands often. That was for sure. There was no telling how his wand would react to Neville's wand if it got to close.
"However… I do have several wands that you might be able to use. Mind you, they have never worked with anybody else though. So don't get your hopes up." He said while walking to the back. When he returned, he was carrying an ornately decorated box that Harry knew for sure must contain some rare powerful wands inside.
"Mr. Potter, these wands I have in this box, belonged to very important wizards and witches from the past: Ancient and powerful wizards from our old history that were known to be legendary." He said opening the box.
Taking a glance inside the box… Harry had to admit, the wands did look rather impressive. Unlike normal wands that are just one solid color wands, these were decorated with gold and silver trimmings and the designs on the wand made them look fancier and more majestic.
For some reason, he felt very drawn to one of them. He didn't hear Ollivander murmur about the wand he was about hold once belonged to someone.
The moment he touched it, he felt complete. It shot out multiple different colored sparks at once. To complete with the mixture, he glowed a bright green. Lily immediately clapped and cheered for her son. She was slightly impressed at seeing her son glow with the bonding with his wand. It was said that those who glow with their bonding of wands possessed very powerful magic.
"That is quite impressive." Ollivander said carefully as he too clearly noticed the bright glow.
"What's impressive?" Harry asked calmly. He wasn't that impressed. All it did was shoot out sparks out as usual, although however this time, he was glowing a bit.
"I'm sure you may not have heard me say it, but that wand had once belonged to the Great Wizard King Azeroth." Ollivander said more to himself than to Harry.
Lily gasped and Harry heard her questioning whisper.
"That wand belonged to the last Wizard King Azeroth?" She murmured while looking at her son in awe.
"Azeroth?" Harry said clueless. He wasn't that good in history.
"The Wizard King Azeroth was a Light wizard who fought hundreds of Dark Wizards and Witches on his own while defending the Wizard World. He was the last Shadow Mage the wizard world had ever had. He was a great ruler, but he had died of a rare disease to which they had no cure back then. He was the last ruler of our world almost three thousand years ago. He had a total set of two wands. You are the first that has ever been capable with one of his wands. This wand: 12 inches. Core: Heart of a phoenix. Wood: Mythical Shadow Wood." Ollivander said in an eerily serious voice.
Harry nodded in awe. So Azeroth was a Shadow Mage like him?
"Mr. Potter, the Wizard King Azeroth did great things for Europe, I expect great things coming from you as well. Great things indeed..." Ollivander trailed off muttering.
Lily was looking speechless.
Harry just gave him a fake shocked look. He knew that already. If only they knew what he had already accomplished.
"Now since that is a special wand that my father crafted three-thousand years ago…I'll say…"
"Wait a minute… three thousand years ago? How old was your father? And how old are you?" Harry blurted out in shock.
He smiled creepy and spoke.
"Mr. Potter, my age is…a secret." He gave a creepy grin and a wink that made Lily shiver.
Harry shook his head in annoyance. He heard rumors that Ollivander was an extremely old day walking Vampire, but he never believed it. He just might start believing it now, especially if Ollivander was really as old as he insinuated he was.
"For that special wand in your hand Mr. Potter, it will cost you fifty galleons." Ollivander said calmly.
"Well that is a nice sales gimmick Mr. Ollivander. King Azeroth ruled 1500 years ago not 3000 years ago. Plus looking at the wand I really doubt that the wand was crafted by your ancestors let alone your father. I can tell the difference between the makes of wands and though your wand crafting styles are similar there are differences which I can spot. The wand I have was probably made by your grand father and not by you. I suggest that you drop the price of the wand." Bill told Ollivander.
Both Harry and Lily were impressed with the way he was bargaining with Ollivander.
"Twenty five Galleons." Ollivander said.
"Twenty five Galleons? I bought mine for seven!" Lily exclaimed at the price.
"Twenty five Galleons for both the wands. That is my final offer. I really don't like people trying to sell over priced stuff." Bill said this time with a hint of a threat.
"All right Mr. Potter you have a deal." Ollivander sighed.
"Don't worry Mum I'll pay for it, consider this as my birthday gift to you Bill." Harry smiled.
"Harry, you don't even have that much." Lily stated.
"In fact I do." Harry said pulling Twenty five galleons out of his pouch of money. He had his entire fortune in that bag since the Goblins in his time could no longer be trusted. It was an endless bag. He had another problem to his list. He was going to have to explain later on why he had so much money.
She was giving him a shocked look.
Harry ignored her and dragged her away waving Ollivander goodbye.
When they left, Ollivander was staring at their retreating backs.
"Hmm…. should I tell Albus about the Azeroth wand…hmm…no…no, he just needs to know about Voldemort's twin brother wand that the Longbottom boy bought." Ollivander said to himself. One thing was for sure. That Potter boys were quite interesting. They were an Occlumens and were able to sense him when they had entered the shop, and now one of the boys now carried one of the greatest wizard's wands in existence, stronger than Dark Lord's wand and his brother wand together will his brother carried a wand similar to the elder wand of legend. The wand was extremely strong.
Interesting indeed…
After leaving the wand shop, Lily had dragged her sons off towards the book shop. They didn't mind, they wanted to see what kind of books the store had. Their parent's library was a bit out of date on history.
After seeing it was late, Harry had to give his Mum the puppy eye look to go home. Not that it worked anyway, so he had ended up threatening to never cook for the family again.
When they got home with at least two dozen new books, Lily finally had the courage to ask her son the question that had been bothering her all day.
"Harry sweetie, where did you get all that money to pay for the wands?" Lily asked. She saw how he had bought all his own books as well after they left the wand shop.
"Mum, I saved my money up. I'm not like Leon who buys every new broom or Quidditch gear that comes out of the market, buy's every type of candy they see, or buy other useless stuff. I save up my money. We do get 20 galleons every month as allowance." Harry said calming her down. "I rarely get to go out, so what else can I spend it on?"
She gave a disagreeing look, as a mother, it was her job to pay for her children's stuff. But Harry had put his foot down and so she dragged him upstairs to sort out his new school stuff. While going up the stairs, he gave a look to Bill that meant don't come in the room for some time.
After folding his new robes, Harry decided to finally tell her one of his secrets. For some reason, Harry had only felt he could trust only his Mum with his secrets. His twin was a special case.
"Mum…?" Harry asked.
"Yes darling…we need to get you a trunk. Maybe I should give you my old one." She said absentmindedly while folding his socks.
"Haven't you wondered how I was able to shrink all my stuff without your help?" Harry asked simply.
Lily gave him a curious look.
"Well, that's because I know a few wandless magic spells." Harry said earnestly. He was planning to tell her one secret at a time. He couldn't have her freaking out with a bunch of new information at once. So he was quite surprised at her reaction.
She giggled.
"Silly, wandless magic is hard, even Albus Dumbledore has trouble with it. There's no way you could do it, the owner of the shops probably did it for you." She said smiling at her son's messy hair while folding his dress shirts.
Harry gave a sigh and wandlessly summoned his shirt from her grip.
She gaped and stared at him wide eyed.
"H-How…?" She stuttered.
"I've been practicing it since I was little. I learned a few spells from your library. I didn't always just play pranks and practice cooking when I was young." Harry lied casually. He didn't like lying to his mother. He thought that she was going freak out. He thought wrong.
She was staring at her son proudly.
"Harry, I'm so proud of you, I always thought you were a joker, but every time you prove me wrong. I'm sure your father would be proud too. A wandless user in the family, I'm so proud of you darling. We should tell your father and Albus Dumbledore, they'll be pretty impressed." She said smiling while kissing his cheek.
Harry smiled. His mother was so unpredictable.
"Mum I want to tell them on my own ok? I'm still working out some difficulties. I can only do a few spells: shrinking, levitation and summoning small light. You can tell Dad and Bill already knows this."
"Sure sweetie." She said giving him an odd look.
"Now, let's go find you and Bill a trunk." She said happily.
"That's ok Mum, I already have one." Harry said smiling.
"Oh, Good. Do you know how to shrink stuff? Never mind, you just told me you shrunk your stuff a while ago." She said softly.
Harry smiled.
"You haven't been reading all my old basic spell books have you?" She asked slyly.
Harry nodded a bit embarrassed.
"I got up to mid 2nd year material."
She smiled wider.
"You act so much like me, it's amazing." She said hugging him. "Do you know how far Bill is in his studies? He practically lives in the library?"
Harry smiled at her warmly again while hugging her back. He could never get tired of her smile or her hugs.
"Yes I know. I may look like Dad, but I act so much like you or so Dad told me." Harry replied.
"Well Bill...he's far better than me and helps me in some stuff but I don't know exactly how much he knows." Harry said thinking. He didn't want to lie to his mother. And he told her the truth from a certain point of view.
She nodded.
After a few minutes of organizing his books and stuff, Harry spoke up.
"Mum…what was I like when I was a baby?" Harry asked hopefully. He had always wanted to know. He couldn't have asked Remus or Sirius, because both were dead in his old dimension.
She giggled.
"You were a cheerful baby, an adorable one. You were Mommies little boy." She giggled while patting his messy black hair.
Harry rolled his eyes.
"Come on Mum, more info!" Harry demanded while sitting next to her.
She began to think. She smiled for a second and then smiled wider.
"Like I said, you were a cheerful baby and an adorable one too. You were also quite smart for a baby. Every time you were hungry you rubbed your belly and when you were thirsty you would smack your lips. You didn't cry much. You were a silent baby, unlike your brothers and sisters." Lily said smiling widely while lost in thought.
"Wow, you're not pulling my leg are you Mum?" Harry asked.
"Would your Mum lie to you?" She asked smiling warmly.
"Err…sorry Mum. No not really." Harry said truthfully. "But I do think you're lying about eating vegetables make you fly faster on a broom!"
Harry said remembering a few days ago when he heard his Mum telling his younger sister Sylvia that.
She laughed. She knew what he was talking about.
"Harry sweetie, how else am I'm suppose to get your little sister to eat? She wasn't like you when you were a baby who ate anything." She said poking him on the stomach making him laugh.
"Hey!"
She giggled while Harry just smiled.
(((o)))
The very next morning, the Potter's had a picnic. It was great. They all ate and drank while his sisters went swimming in the lake behind their mansion. Harry didn't go swimming; he just sat next to his Mum and Dad while playing with Little Lilly. Little Lily was just a cheerful baby. She rarely cried and was a good girl that didn't seemed spoiled or didn't seem to get into trouble a lot.
"Hey Lily, you want to go on piggy back?" Harry asked his cute adorable little sister.
"Yeah!" She chirped.
Harry smiled and carried her on his back while running around. She loved it. His mother still didn't think Little Lily was old enough to fly a broom.
They stopped by a field of flowers and played around. Suddenly a thought occurred to him, he remembered when he was young, he would sometimes use the flowers in Dursleys back yard to make crowns and wrist bands when he was not allowed in the house. He knew his little sister would love it. So he made her a wrist band that spiraled onto her wrist. She loved it. It was made out of small yet not blooming roses. He then made a necklace of flowers for her as well. She immediately giggled madly and spoke in her child like baby voice.
"What about Mommy?" Lily giggled.
Harry smiled.
"Sure I'll make a few for Mommy." Harry smiled.
She giggled and tried to copy Harry in making bracelets and necklaces out of flowers. Harry had to admit, for a little girl, she learned fast! When they were done, Harry had made a beautiful flower crown that was made out of white, red, and blue roses. Little Lily had made an all white rose spiral wrist band like Harry did for her. When they went they stood up they raced toward their parents to give it to them. Poor Lily had no way in beating Harry so in mid way he ran back and grabbed her and put her on his back and ran. She giggled all the way smiling happily.
When they got both got back to their parents, everyone else was back from swimming and eating again. Geez…the Potters were worst than the Weasleys. He never thought it was possible.
Bill was just lying on the ground and watching the clouds in the sky.
When they gave their Mum the flowers, she absolutely adored it. She gave both of them a kiss on the forehead and admired the flowers.
"Oh Lily! Harry! They're beautiful. When did you two know how to make wrist bands and crowns out of flowers?" Lily asked while Harry's sisters were giving their Mum jealous looks.
Little Lily giggled and pointed at Harry.
"Big brother Harry showed me!" She giggled while showing off her spiral wrist bands and necklace to her sisters.
"Wow, I always wanted to know how to do that correctly!" Sakura said eyeing her little sisters flower accessories with envious eyes. She was trying to hint it to Harry she wanted a pair as well, but Harry was clueless like almost every other male.
Leon was rolling his eyes. He'd rather play Quidditch than play with flowers, sometimes his older brother acted so girly.
"Harry, where did you learn how to do this?" Lily asked.
His sisters sat up paying attention closely except for Little Lily who was playing with her spiral flower wrist band.
Harry thought of a quick lie.
"Well, sometimes when I'm not in the house, I go out into the field of flowers and play here when I feel lonely or have nothing to do." Harry said casually.
"It's so beautiful. Say Harry bro, show us!" Sakura demanded. Rosa nodded her head in agreement. Harry just shrugged and went back into the field of different flowers with Rosa, Sakura, and Sylvia in tow.
When they departed, James was thinking hard. Harry changed a lot these past few months. He shrugged. He knew one day Harry would have to be responsible because he was the oldest by a few minutes, he just didn't think it was now, when a sign that your children is turning responsible it's telling you that you are getting old. He hated getting older. He still had so many pranks he wanted to do.
(((o)))
That week at the Potter House was passing by fast. Harry found out things were slightly different in this world. When he entered his family vault, he of course saw several magical artifacts that he had never seen before. Of course when he returned home, he tried researching on his family stuff that was in the vault. No luck. The day to go to Hogwarts came faster than Harry expected it. The day he had to leave came approached. They were all at the Platform Nine and Three Quarters. All his sisters were crying and his younger brother Leon just gave him a pat on the back.
"Say bro, you don't mind if I stay in your room sometimes?" Leon asked.
"Sorry squirt, I locked my room magically, you should ask Mum or Dad to unlock it for you if Bill allows you." Harry said smiling at his younger brother. Leon looked pleadingly at Bill. "You can use the room only if you don't mess it up." Bill said.
One thing was for sure. His family took it rather nicely when he told them he could do a little wandless magic. His brother and sisters demanded him to teach them wandless magic; they wanted to learn how to do magic since they could not have a wand yet. Even his father and mother had a desire to learn. But Harry said maybe one day when he has time. It was going to take a lot of work. It was true too; it took him forever to remember the concept. James immediately declared that Harry was no longer going to Hogwarts; he was going to stay here and teach him wandless magic before he would go to Hogwarts, but Lily just smacked him on the head and told Harry his father was joking, much to everyone's protests. She knew how Harry wanted to go to Hogwarts. Hell, she knew how he felt as well. Harry made them promise not to tell anyone. Not even Dumbledore until Harry felt it was ready.
He snapped out of his thoughts when his mother started to cry onto his shoulder. She was laughing while tears were rolling down her cheek.
"It's ok Mum, I'll be fine." Harry said trying to calm the hysterical red head mother.
When she released him from the hug, Sirius's children ran up and hugged him goodbye as well. After all of them said their goodbyes, Yuna ran up and gave Harry a small quick kiss leaving everyone in the train station to stare at the youngsters in surprise. It's not everyday you see young children kissing each other in the train station. When she let go, she was blushing furiously, and ran off to hide behind her mother.
Harry was just dumbfounded. He was just standing motionlessly in shock. He snapped out of it when Sylvia came up and hugged him goodbye.
Everyone was laughing at Harry's still dumb expression and the blushing Yuna.
Poor Little Lily was crying hysterically.
"Harry… (Hic) big… (Sob) big brother… you… (Hic) don't like… us anymore… (Sob) so that's why… (Sob) you're leaving?" She cried another fresh about of tears.
Harry laughed silently at his little sister's tears. He kissed her on each cheek when she hugged him as fiercely as her small arms could.
"There… there… I'm not leaving forever, I'll be coming back. Not for a while, but I'll come and visit. You'll be a good girl ok Lily?" Harry asked.
She cried harder and spoke in broken sobs.
"I… (Hic) promise you… I'll be… (Sob) a good… girl… I promise… so please… (Hic) don't leave me." She cried harder. This was the first time he had ever seen his youngest sister cry.
Harry gave his parents a look that said help.
His Mum immediately tried to stop her poor daughter, but she couldn't do much because she was crying as well.
"M-My baby b-boy (Sob) is all grown up and (Hic) going to H-Hogwarts, it feels like it was just y-yesterday when I (Hic) changed his d-diapers." She then burst into another bout of tears while hugging her baby daughter Lily who was crying along with her.
His father rolled his eyes and pulled both of them back.
"Take care son, and make sure you study extra hard in class." His father said. Even though his original thought was.
'Don't forget to play pranks on your teachers and especially in class!'
When Harry turned around to leave, he waved goodbye.
"Come on Romeo your going to miss the train." Bill told Harry.
"Bye Everyone! I love you all!" They together said turning to the train.
They all said their byes and waved while his sisters who were holding the tears back burst into tears. Harry rolled his eyes with his back turned. Geez… he was like a water magnet, thinking about Cho from his 5th year. While Harry was walking to the train, he saw some people that made his heart stop. The Weasleys… He didn't even glance at them really, he was staring at Ginny. She was looking very sad and was crying seeing her brother's leave. Harry smiled at the thought, he remember her crying and chasing after the train when the train was leaving. Just then he heard her squeak hearing that The Boy Who Lived was going to Hogwarts. He didn't see it when she turned to look his way when he was in deep thought. He remembered he wasn't the Wizard World's savior anymore. Sighing sadly he walked to the train. He would wait for her, if she was still the same person that is.
Ginny was crying and laughing goodbyes. All her brothers were leaving for Hogwarts. She was going to be alone for a whole year at the Burrow. For some reason she felt someone watching her and when she turned around, she saw a handsome young boy around Ron's age with messy black hair and bright piercing green eyes. He seemed to be deep in thought. For some reason, she had a connected feeling she knew him from somewhere. Slowly she turned her attention back to her brothers.
