As Harry is asleep in bed, he hears what sounds like a car engine outside. Waking up and putting on his glasses, he gets out of bed and walks to the window. Looking out the window, he sees a strange object moving through the sky. As he looks, the object appears to be a shooting star, before turning into two beams of light. A turquoise Ford Anglia car flies to Harry's bedroom window, then turns to the right as Harry and Hedwig silently watch. In the Ford Anglia is Ron, accompanied by his older twins, Fred and George, and (Y/N). "Hi, Harry!" (Y/N) greeted cheerfully. "Ron, Fred, George, (Y/N), what are you all doing here?" Harry asked. "Rescuing you, of course. Now, come on. Get your trunk!" Ron said. Eventually, Harry has gotten dressed, packed his Hogwarts trunk with some clothes, his books, pajamas, uniforms, and all other necessities, shuts it closed, and locks it. (Y/N) puts a hook at the bars on Harry's window. "You'd better stand back." Harry steps back as (Y/N) turns to the twin in the drivers' seat. "Let's go!" The car pulls the bars on Harry's window off. Petunia and Vernon wake up. "Go, go, go, go!" (Y/N) urged. Harry is putting his trunk on the car. "Come on." Ron and Fred said. "Come on, Harry! Hurry up!" (Y/N) said.

"Petunia, he's escaping!" Vernon grabs Harry's ankle. "Ahh- ahh!" Harry shouted. "I've got you Harry!" Ron shouted. "Let him go!" (Y/N) shouted. "Come here!" Vernon shouted. "Let go of me!" Harry shouted. "Oh no, boy! You and that bloody pigeon aren't going anywhere!" Vernon shouted. "Let go!" (Y/N) shouted. "Get off!" Harry shouted. "Drive!" Ron shouted. "Right." The twins said. "No! No! No! No! Aaaah!" Vernon falls Freon the window. (Y/N) laughs at the sight. The car flies away. "By the way, Harry, Happy Birthday!" (Y/N) said. Fred walks to the window and opens it to unlock the door. "Come on. Okay, come on. Shhh! Shhh!" Fred is checking that the coast is clear then beckoning the others inside. "Okay, come on." Fred said. "Do you think it'd be all right if we had some of this?" Ron asked. George is half smiling. "Yeah, Mum would never know." He said. "It's not much, but it's home." Ron said. "I think it's...brilliant. So (Y/N), what are you doing here with The Weasleys?" Harry asked. "Oh, I spent my summer with them this year." (Y/N) said. "Really? The whole summer?" Harry asked. "Yeah, my aunt was really busy this summer so she asked The Weasleys if they could watch over me and they gladly took the offer." (Y/N) said.

"Really? Wow." Harry said. Harry couldn't help but feel jealous, this meant that Ron spent the entire summer with her, and he didn't. Then again, Ron did have a full house, so maybe he didn't get as much alone time with her as he thought. "Where have you been?" The boys and (Y/N) nearly jump out of their skin. Mrs. Weasley stands in the doorway. Furious. She smiles sweetly at Harry. "Harry, how wonderful to see you dear" Mrs. Weasley turns back to (Y/N), Fred, George and Ron. "Beds empty! No note! Car gone! You could've died! You could've been seen! And (Y/N), how do you think your aunt would feel if something bad happened to you on our watch?" She asked. "S- sorry, Mrs. Weasley." She said, looking at the floor. Mrs. Weasley turns back to Harry. "Of course, I don't blame you, Harry dear." She said. "They were starving him, Mum! There were bars on his window!" Ron said. (Y/N) nodded with the others. "Well, you'd best hope that I don't put bars on your window, Ronald Weasley!" Ron flinches, and (Y/N) and the twins look at her with horror. "As for you young lady, I don't want anymore foolish business while you're here, understand?" She asked (Y/N), who only nodded.

Mrs. Weasley starts softening instantly. "Care for a spot of tea, Harry?" Ginny is walking down the stairs. "Mummy. Have you seen my jumper?" She asked. "Yes dear. It was on the cat." Ginny looks wide eyed at Harry. "Hello." He greeted. She quickly ran upstairs. (Y/N) and the twins chuckled. "W-what did I do?" He asked. "She's been talking about you all summer." (Y/N) said. "Dead annoying, really." Ron said. (Y/N) nudged Ron softly in a scolding manner. Mr. Weasley comes in. "Morning, Weasleys. And (L/N), of course." He said. "Morning, Dad." The twins and Ron said. "Morning, Mr. Weasley." (Y/N) greeted. "Morning Arthur!" Mrs. Weasley said. "What a night. Nine raids. Nine!" Mr. Weasley said. "Raids?" Harry asked. "He works in the Ministry of Magic. In the Misuse of Muggle Artifacts Office." (Y/N) explained. "Dad loves Muggles. Thinks they're fascinating." Ron said. "Well now. Who are you?" Mr. Weasley asked Harry. "Oh, sorry sir. I'm Harry, sir, Harry Potter." He said. "Good Lord, are you really? Ron's told us all about you, of course. When did he get here?" Mr. Weasley asked. "This morning. Your sons and (Y/N) flew that enchanted car of yours to Surrey and back last night." Mrs. Weasley said.

"Did you really! How'd it go?!" Mr. Weasley catches Mrs. Weasley's eye. Fred, George, (Y/N), Ron and Harry are hiding their laughter. "Arthur!" Everyone except Molly is trying very hard to stop laughing. "I mean...that was very wrong, indeed, boys. Very wrong of you. Now, Harry, you must know all about Muggles. Tell me, what exactly is the function of a rubber duck?" Mr. Weasley asked. "Oh, umm..." An owl, Errol with letters flew in, only to hit a window. "Well, that'll be Errol with the post. Oh, fetch it will you Percy, please?" Mrs. Weasley asked. "Errol..." Percy said as he went to fetch the mail. "He's always doing that." Ron said. "Oh look, it's our Hogwarts letters. And they've sent us Harry's and (Y/N)'s as well." Percy said. "Dumbledore must know you're here, Harry. Doesn't miss a trick, that man." Mr. Weasley said. "Oh, no." Mrs. Weasley said. "This lot won't come cheap, Mum. The spell books alone are very expensive..." Fred said. "We'll manage. Right then. There's only one place we're going to get all of this: Diagon Alley." She said. Mrs. Weasley picks up a pot of the mantel. "You first, Harry dear." Mrs. Weasley offers Harry a flowerpot. At the bottom is a layer of very soft dust. Harry frowns in confusion. "But Harry's never traveled by Floo powder before, Mrs. Weasley." (Y/N) said. "Floo Powder?" He asked. "Oh, well, you go first, (Y/N). So that Harry can see how it's done. Yes. In you go. That's it." Mrs. Weasley said. "Diagon Alley!" (Y/N) disappears. "You see? It's quite easy, dear. Don't be afraid. Come on. Come on. In you go. That's it. Mind your head. That's right. Now, take your Floo powder. That's it, very good. Now, don't forget to speak very, very clearly." Mrs. Weasley said. "Diagonally." Harry disappears. "What did he say, dear?" Mrs. Weasley asked. "Diagonally." Mr. Weasley said. "I thought he did."

Time Skip

(Y/N) met up with The Weasleys and Hermione at Flourish and Blotts when she and Hermione decided to go and find Harry and ran into him with Hagrid. "Harry! Hagrid!" Hermione greeted. "Hi, Hagrid!" (Y/N) greeted cheerfully. "Hello, Hermione and (Y/N)!" He greeted. "Oh, it's so good to see you!" Hermione said to Harry. "Well, it's great to see you, too!" Harry said. "What did you do to your glasses?" (Y/N) takes out her wand. "Oculus reparo." His glasses then fixed. "I definitely need to remember that one." Harry smiles. "You'll be all right now then, Harry? Right. I'll leave you to it, then." Hagrid walks away. "Ok! Bye!" Hermione said. "Come on! Everyone's been so worried." (Y/N) said as she pulls the duo to the store. "Oh, Harry! Thank goodness! We'd hoped you'd only gone one grate too far..." Mrs. Weasley said. "Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Gilderoy Lockhart." Everyone began clapping. "Mum fancies him." Ron said. Mrs. Weasley smacked his arm. "Make way there. Please! Let me by, madam. Excuse me little girl. This is for the Daily Prophet." A man with a camera said as he walks through.

"It can't be- Harry Potter, and (Y/N) (L/N)." Lockhart asked. Her eyes widened at the mention of her name. The photographer reaches over and grabs the two by the shoulders. "Excuse me, madam." He said to Mrs Weasley and shoves them towards Lockhart, who grabs (Y/N)'s arm and pulls her to the side. "Nice big smiles, you two. Together you and I rate the front page." He said. "Ladies and gentlemen, what an extrodinary moment this is. When young Harry and (Y/N) stepped into Flourish and Blotts this morning....to purchase my autobiography, Magical Me, which incidentally is currently celebrating its twenty-seventh week atop the Daily Prophet bestsellers list. They had no idea that they would, in fact, be leaving with my entire collected works....free of charge." Lockhart said, as he handed them his books. Everyone clapped as the two made their way back to the others. Mrs Weasley grabs the books from (Y/N). "Now give me those, and I'll get them signed. All of you wait outside. That's it." She said and (Y/N), Ron, Hermione and Ginny move away.

"Bet you loved that, didn't you, Potter?" (Y/N) turned to see Draco approaching. "Famous Harry Potter. Can't even go into a bookshop without making the front page." He sneered. "Leave him alone." Ginny said. Draco smirks. "Oh look, Potter, you got yourself a girlfriend." He mocked. (Y/N) glared at him. She felt a bit of jealousy at Draco calling Ginny his girlfriend, but pushed the feeling aside. Suddenly he gets tapped by a cane from his father. "Now, now, Draco, play nicely." The man said as he uses his cane to move Malfoy out of the way. He then spots (Y/N) and he looks a little surprised. "(Y/N) (L/N), am I right?" He asked. The girl slowly nodded. "Lucius Malfoy. We meet at last." Mr Malfoy said as he sticks his hand out for her. The girl takes his hand and shakes it. "I've heard plenty about you. Most powerful family in the wizarding world, alongside the wealthiest. Your parents were legendary." He said. The girl only nodded in response. "Forgive me." He said, before pulling the girl closer to study her. "You really are quite beautiful." He said. This comment shocked her. Mr. Malfoy then looks at the others to see them all glaring at him, especially Ron and Harry. "Leave her alone, Malfoy." Ron said angrily. Mr. Malfoy let her go, but smirked at the others. "Yeah, can't you see you're making her uncomfortable?" Everyone turned to see Hermione, who was also glaring at him.

"You must be Miss Granger. Yes, Draco has told me all about you. And your parents. Muggles, aren't they?" He asked as he looks across the shop and see two people talking to Mr Weasley. "Let me see. Red hair, vacant expressions..." Then he reached towards Giant's cauldron and pulled out a tattered book. "Tatty, secondhand book. You must be the Weasleys." (Y/N) glared at him. Then Mr Weasley comes up to (Y/N) and the others. "Children, it's a mad house in here. Let's go outside." He said. "Well, well, well. Weasley senior." Lucius mutters. Arthur looks over at him. "Lucius." "Busy time at the Ministry, Arthur, all those extra raids? I do hope they're paying you overtime... but judging by the state of this, I'd say not. What's the use in being a disgrace to the name of wizard.... if they don't even pay you well for it?" Mr Malfoy asked. "We have a very different idea about what disgraces the name of wizard, Malfoy." Arthur sneers. "Clearly. Associating with Muggles. And I thought your family could sink no lower. Mr Malfoy whispers as he puts Ginny's book back into her cauldron. The two men glare at each other before Mr Malfoy breaks the silence. "I'll see you at work." And he walks away. Malfoy gets closer to (Y/N), Ron, Harry and Hermione and said. "See you at school." And he follows his father.
