I don't own any of the characters, if I did Harry sure as hell never would have married Ginny nothing against her, but to me, the chemistry was all wrong with her.
Warning this story does have Dumbledore bashing. IF you don't like then use the back button.
Chapter 4
The entire Weasley clan minus Percy had gathered to Gringotts to see the oldest of them receive his award. Bill introduced his family to Barchoke, Ruby, and two other goblins named Sharphead and Dragonhead as well as the head goblin Rangok. Being respectful, all but Ginny gave a small bow to them. "It is an honor that you invited us to witness Bill receiving an award." Arthur said as he bowed before the head goblin. Barchoke offered to give the family a tour. The twins were excited about it.
Ruby stated that she will personally take a member or two at a time for the tour of her specialized area starting with Molly and Arthur. Barchoke led the group through private areas that the clients never get a chance to see including a battle arena. Molly and Arthur returned with Ruby while the group was watching a training battle. Bill noticed they looked pissed, but smiled and thanked Ruby for the tour. The twins were next as they saw the winner of the round walk from the arena.
Twenty minutes later found the group in the ceremony room; all were enchanted at the pictures on the walls. The twins seemed annoyed but also personally thanked Ruby for the tour. Ron and Charlie left together with Ruby.
"Why the hell can't she just show all of us the stupid areas instead of being by twos?" Ginny complained to Bill.
"Ruby is more comfortable with small groups rather than large ones. And Ginny shut your loud trap and keep quiet. You are very disrespectful to them and don't forget, if you insult a goblin on their land it could very well be the last thing you do." Bill hissed at her.
When Ruby returned with Charlie and Ron she offered to give Ginny a personalized tour as she showed Ginny around the medical facility Ruby quietly cast diagnostic spells on Ginny's back. Frowning slightly she showed Ginny the exam tools and gave a brief explanation about the workings of the potions and how the ingredients are made. Saying some potions require a wizard or witch to make them as they need wand magic. They have a personal supplier outside of Gringotts before leading her back to the group quickly speaking to Barchoke in goblin she left with a polite goodbye.
Charlie was thrilled to get to see one of the famous Gringotts dragons and was amazed at how well cared for they were, taking note that she was a rare and extremely powerful breed of dragon and many on different reserves would love a chance to breed her. As the group finished the tour Fred and George said they were impressed with the business protections that they offered and hoped for a chance to talk with a banker after lunch. Barchoke said he would personally help them out. Barchoke led the group in to a large office where they would be offered lunch after the award was given and Rangok and the other Goblins they met earlier were standing at a small stage. Rangok presented Bill with a goblin made armband that had Bill's name on it. As well as a paper stating that Bill now had his Masters in Curse breaking and another paper stating Bill also had his Masters in Warding.
Molly was shocked that Bill had never told them he was going for his masters in either subject let alone both. Not long after lunch began Ginny fell asleep. Molly noticed and went to wake her feeling embarrassed that Ginny had been so rude.
"Please let her be for a few minutes I wish to talk to you without fear of Dumbledore getting informed. As you know we scanned you and found multiple compulsion charms, loyalty charms, and obedience charms. We also removed different potions from your systems. The only ones who didn't have something on them are Charlie and Ginny. Of course, we also checked Bill yesterday. But we got word that Ginny plans to report to Dumbledore that you won't allow her to date Harry without him being checked for a love potion on him. She is obedient to Dumbledore and there is no trace of any potions or spells on her. We fear that she is completely willing to do whatever he said just because he promised her that she will have Potter. Harry Potter has already been informed and had decided not to return to Hogwarts this year and be tutored in private; however, he has extended his offer to have Ron tutored as well with him. It would be a stronger set of skills than Hogwarts offers, however there is no quidditch but there is also no tuition or robes to purchase, just books and supplies." Rangok said as he offered more tea to the group.
"Where would Ron be living?" Molly asked as she accepted the tea. "We will be at Harry's personal home that Sirius Black had set up for them to move in to." "We will think it over and pass the message on through Bill with our answer." Arthur answered looking to Molly and Ron, but they both knew what they would say if Ron wanted to be tutored. Charlie excused himself saying he had to get to work. But thanked them for everything and congratulated his brother.
Harry woke late and cooked breakfast then headed into the shower so they could go to Twin Waters theme park today. This week they were getting settled and going to theme parks. Next week they were going hiking and camping. Harry wondered if they could hit a beach this summer as well as seeing some of the muggle sites. Both wondered how long until Dumbledore finds out that he was no longer at the muggles, already knowing that an emergency order meeting will be called. Harry decided to write Hermione and Neville asking them to join in on being tutored and then decided to ask Ron and Luna as well. Harry sent Hedwig off with Hermione and Neville's letters and Puck off with Ron and Luna's letters.
Hermione already had a letter written for Harry and had decided to ask Harry to allow her to come and be tutored as well. She jumped when Hedwig flew in the kitchen window and landed by her pancakes. She smiled and took the letter quickly grabbing her letter to Harry and giving it to Hedwig the sat down to read her letter. As Hedwig took a few drinks out of her juice and nibbled on her pancakes.
Hermione,
A lot has been going on since the start of summer. A friend I trust showed up at my house and got me to agree to leave sooner then I planned. I got a wand that Dumbledore can't track and force me to his headquarters. I suggest you get yourself a new wand go to Gringotts and ask Barchoke he can set it up so Bill shows you were to go for a wand that can't be tracked and used like a portkey the headmaster controls. While you're there ask Barchoke to have you checked for charms, spells and potions. Got my eyes fixed. The house is huge. I found out that Dumbledore told Ginny I will be asking her to date me this coming year at Hogwarts. I have no desire to date that little loud mouth brat. And I realized that he plans to use a love potion keyed to her on me. So, I have decided I am not returning to Hogwarts this year and I will be tutored in these subjects:
DADA, potions, charms, transfiguration, runes, arithmancy, weapons training, combat training, healing, warding, occlumency, and legimancy.
I want to offer you a chance to be tutored with me. I am also asking Ron, Neville and Luna to come be tutored as well. If you want to be tutored with me/us and want other subjects let me know so I can arrange it. I am off to a theme park for the day.
Your friend,
Harry
Hermione started thinking about what she and her parents were going to do today and quickly added the stop at Gringotts and the new wand shop as first things on the to do list. Looking to where Hedwig sat nibbling on a pancake Hermione quickly wrote a quick note and added it to the one Hedwig was already holding sticking them together with paper clips. After the letter was reattached Hedwig took off out the window. Hermione looked to the letter noticing the last sentence Harry said he was off to a theme park maybe she will get lucky and see Harry at the theme park her family was going to for the day.
Neville had talked about the idea of being tutored with his gran who also liked the idea and said she couldn't wait to hear more when Harry and Neville had all the ideas sorted out then she could help them set up tutors or whatever they needed. They had even discussed the main issue of not being able to do herbology as there most likely would be no way Harry would have a greenhouse set up for the school year. As well as adding the plants they would need for their sixth-year tests. His gran though had a solution for that as well since Neville wanted to be a Herbologist when he got out of school. The solution was Neville would study through the summer on the hands-on portion and then do self-study on the theory portion throughout the school year and portkey back home to do hands on portions throughout the year. They were having tea when Hedwig arrived. Neville took the letter and gave Hedwig a piece of a biscuit while he read the letter.
Neville,
A lot has been going on since summer began this year. I found out that Dumbledore has a special tracker on any Olivander wand so if he wants he can force anyone to his office like a portkey. So, I went to Black Soul Wands and had a wand made for me. I would highly recommend them. Have you thought about being tutored with me? Here are the classes I am going to be taking if you want something else let me know a.s.a.p.
DADA, potions, charms, transfiguration, runes, arithmancy, weapons training, combat training, healing, warding, occlumency, and legimancy
Send me a note with any other subject you want if you would like another topic. Well I am off to a theme park. Talk to you later.
Your friend,
Harry.
Neville looked up to where Hedwig was sitting nibbling on the biscuit from his plate. He grabbed the letter he had started to Harry and quickly finished it and gave it to Hedwig. Who took it with a soft hoot and flew out the window. Neville showed his gran the letter. She agreed they would go to Black Soul Wands to get his new wand this coming week.
Ron was working at his brother's shop for the summer since it was better being bored or being with his annoying little sister. And he was getting money to spend throughout the school year. Since his parents had already agreed to him being tutored he hoped that they would be able to go in to the muggle world to have fun on the weekends. He was downstairs getting a box of Toungeton taffy when Fred yelled down that he had an owl and can go on break to read the letter after he brought up the box. He quickly grabbed the box and went upstairs where Lee grabbed it so he could take the letter. Ron removed the letter and noticed it was from Harry. Telling his brothers saw him being asked to send Harry their letter to him as well. George followed Ron upstairs and gave him the letter they had written to Harry. Ron sat on the bed and opened the letter while the strange owl sat on a stand and ate some food that was in the bowl.
Ron,
This is my new owl Puck. I am using him so Dumbledore can't capture Hedwig. A lot has been going on since summer started. First, I want to thank you for letting Bill know about Dumbledore telling Ginny I will be asking her out. I have decided I will not be returning to Hogwarts and will be tutored instead in these subjects.
DADA, potions, charms, transfiguration, runes, arithmancy, weapons training, combat training, healing, warding, occlumency, and legimancy
If you want I can have you join me in the lessons I am asking Neville and Hermione to come as well also Luna. If you decided to join in the tutoring let me know I will arrange it with Gringotts to have someone take you to Black Soul Wands to get a new wand. Dumbledore has it set up so anyone who has an Olivander wand can be port keyed to his office and tracked. Well I am off to a theme park.
Your friend,
Harry
Ron wrote a quick letter to Harry and put his and the twins notes on the leg of Puck. "Fly safe Puck." Then he went back down to get back to work.
Luna was sitting on her bed finishing the packing for the trip her and her dad were going on, when an owl flew in her window and landed beside her. "Hello Puck, how are you?" Luna asked as she removed the letter from his leg.
Luna,
This is my owl Puck. A lot has been going on since summer began. Dumbledore has told Ginny I will be asking her out this coming school year. Sorry but I just don't see her that way. She's too loud and bossy. I have decided that I am not going to be returning to Hogwarts this year and would like to offer you a chance to join in on being tutored. I know this year is when you sit your owls and can arrange you to sit them in private with a school board member. I am being tutored in the following topics if you want another topic let me know I will add them for you.
DADA, potions, charms, transfiguration, runes, arithmancy, weapons training, combat training, healing, warding, occlumency, and legimancy
I am new to some subjects and plan to take some owls for them as well. I have also asked Ron, Hermione and Neville if they would like to be tutored as well. Hope you have a great summer
Your friend Harry
Luna wrote her reply and gave it to Puck as she also gave him some tea and crackers that she had on a table. Then Puck took off into the sky.
Harry spent the day laughing with Charlie as they were thrown upside down and around on the tri-loop rollercoaster, Mega Drop. The White Waters Log was Charlie's favorite; while Harry's was the Mountain Loop Waterfall rollercoaster.
During Lunch
Harry and Charlie were eating burgers with fries and milkshakes while talking. "Harry, I have a question that I have been dying to ask. Ron told me your Firebolt was locked up by Umbridge since you are not returning to Hogwarts how are you going to get it back?"
Harry laughed "I already have it. You really think I would let that bitch have my Firebolt locked up? It was only locked up for a handful of hours. I had my personal elf Dobby switch it with a broken Clean sweep that is charmed to look like the Firebolt. I have it in my room in the glass case. Charlie started laughing when they were surprised to have Hermione joining them.
"Hi guys I had hoped I would run into you." She said as she grabbed a fry off Harry's plate. "Hermione it is good to see you but how did you find me?" Harry asked worried that others might be able to find him as well.
"Actually, I am meeting my parents here for lunch in a few minutes. When I walked in I saw Charlie and had to relook to see who he was with. My parents and I saw Barchoke and got checked. Bill took us to the shop you suggested. He wouldn't let me pay for it though said he was given orders by his employer to take care of it himself. That his job is to protect their most valuable asset." Hermione said as she stole another fry. Hermione noticed her parents come in and got them to come over and introduced Harry and Charlie. After they went to order Charlie and Harry decided it was time to go. Giving Hermione a big hug they both left.
Charlie led Harry to the gift shop and they both chose a souvenir before heading home. Harry got a picture frame to put their picture that they took on the White Waters Log and a poster to hang on the wall. Charlie got a shirt and coffee cup. The two went home to put their things away and Charlie rubbed some cream on Harry's sunburn. "So how did you get the broom here when we left your trunk at the muggles house?" Charlie asked as he finished putting the cream on Harrys face.
"Oh, I had it in my black bag that I had on my back. It is charmed to be weightless and bottomless and I added a notice me not charm on it. I put my cloak, broom, photo album, and some Defense Against the Dark Arts books that Sirius and Remus gave me in it. With the notice me not charm the muggles didn't take it to lock it up, and I kept it on me when I was outside the muggles house. I only stopped wearing it all the time when we moved here." Harry said as he had Charlie put the cream on his arms and neck as well.
Dinner at the Burrow was interesting.
Charlie came home sunburned, ate and wouldn't answer questions on how he ended up sunburned and why he was smiling. He did say he was moving to the reserve in the next few days. He rolled his eyes as Ginny again started saying "When Harry marries me I will be Lady Potter…."
She didn't get to say anymore as Molly interrupted her saying "I have already told you I don't think Harry feels that way about you and if he asked you out I will ensure he is checked for a love potion and if I find out you have anything to do with a love potion you will be finding yourself learning without a wand as I will personally snap it and keep you from going to Hogwarts or any other magical school ever again."
Charlie snorted "Yeah Ginny shut up about it. Harry is way out of your league."
Bill decided to add his two knuts of insight in as well. "You will never be Lady Potter since the Goblins have it so in order to give another person the title of Lord or Lady through marriage they have to submit to a medical screening and if the Lord in question has any type of potion in their system the one who is gaining the title of Lord or Lady will lose their head for using a potion to control a Lord or Lady in to giving them a title."
"Oh, shut the fuck up you fagots, Harry will be mine and if you stand in my way I will make sure you both pay…"
Smack
Bill slapped Ginny across the face. "The way you talk Ginny you sound just as bad as Voldemort. You don't deserve to have someone like Harry after all you are nothing but an annoying little sister of his best friend. If it wasn't because Hermione helped Harry figure out what was attacking the school and Ron was with Harry going down to the chambers, Harry never would have come to rescue your spoilt little ass. I think I might suggest to Harry to use the life debt you owe him to make you stay the hell away from him." Bill stood and followed Charlie up the stairs to their room. Bill helped Charlie pack his clothes and rubbed some cream on Charlie while suggesting using the sun blocking charm to prevent the sunburn next time they go out for a day of fun in the sun.
Harry ate dinner and worked on some of the charms in a book he bought in Diagon Alley with Charlie the other day. After about an hour he noticed that Puck and Hedwig had returned and had letters from his friends. Putting the book up he walked over to the stands where the owls were sitting and took the letters. Sorting the letters, he sat and opened the first one.
Harry,
Hey little brother we wanted to let you know that your investment with our shop has doubled and we are doing better than we ever hoped to do. We plan to open a branch in Hogsmeade in three years' time. What we wanted to know is do you want to be partnered with us? We both think it is a great idea to have you as our partner and hope you are interested in the partnership. Don't worry we have no plans to use your name to gain us clients (we would get way too far behind in orders if we did that.) What we want is someone to do the handling of buying other sites and scouting for other ways to improve our pranks. Oh, you would never believe who came in to our shop yesterday morning! Professor Snape! He came in and gave us information on potions that would dye someone's hair orange or blue and one that can be made with a bar of soap and dye the user's skin green for a week. He said if a student can get Dumbledore's Hair and or Beard turned bright pink he would give us a donation of a thousand galleons. So, we are up working on that while we have Lee and Ron running the shop for us. Any ideas? Oh, did we forget to mention we hired Lee and Ron for the summer. Don't worry we are not testing products on Ron or Lee we actually hire testers for that now and of course we have them sign a legal form saying they understand that the product is not always perfect and some issues may require medical attention for the issues. So, we are covered on that angle as well. Bill showed up at our shop yesterday and took the four of us to get new wands said the others we had owned had trackers and portkeys made in to them to so we have our old wands stored away in the cellar of our shop that has a ward on it to poison an intruder with a gas that will put them to sleep for at least a week. Hope you can stop by the shop sometime soon. Love your brothers,
Gred and Forge.
Harry laughed as he made a note to write Fred and George later this week and stop by to see them. The next letter was paper clipped together so he had to laugh only Hermione would paperclip the pages together.
Harry,
Finished reading your letter you wrote on the train. Don't worry I flushed it after I was done. To me it sounds like Sirius was planning to kidnap you from the Dursley's and having you homeschooled not a bad idea. I wish he was successful on that. The Prophecy has so many interpretations'. That Dumbledore has not provided you with any special training and throws you to the Dursley's every summer is weird, how does he expect you to fight Voldemort when you have not been properly trained? To me it sounds like a self-fulfilling prophecy. I am glad to know you plan to leave the Dursley's and going to have a proper summer. Harry be careful when we got back to the school after the incident at the ministry, we were all fixed up and given dreamless sleep potions. I noticed Ginny wasn't, but with my mind the potion doesn't put me to sleep it helps me stay asleep when I fall asleep but not to go to sleep. Dumbledore came in and talked to Ginny telling her that with Sirius being dead he will ensure you have a dose of love potion and will marry her to make her the new Lady Potter Black and she will have access to all your vaults not only the ones you are allowed to know about. Being married to the chosen one will make it so she can play for any quidditch team and wear the best clothes and have the fastest broom on the team. They talked about ways to make sure you are good and do what you are supposed to do. He is annoyed at how many potions and compulsion charms he has to use to make you argue and fight with the Slytherins and others who represent Voldemort. If you decide to be tutored instead of returning to Hogwarts this year I want to join you in being tutored as well. Please Harry. I know I am a pain in the rear and will try to ease up on it. But I really want away from Malfoy and Snape please. Being away from Dumbledore is a plus as well. I know I would most likely have to drop some subjects but it would be worth it to be with you Harry. Please think about it Harry.
Love Hermione.
Ps Hedwig just showed up with your invite the list you have included both Runes and Arithmancy so none that I can think of. I am so happy love you. Will get a new wand and tested today. Love you Harry
Love Hermione.
Harry frowned as he relooked at the information regarding the conversation between Dumbledore and Ginny. But laughed at Hermione begging to join the tutored group. He went and grabbed a cup of tea before starting on the next letter.
Harry,
I am glad you are away from your painful relatives I knew you would be. I love the idea of tutoring and already have a wand from Black Soul Wands. Daddy didn't like Olivander he seemed to be a Micren leach (Pervert) and daddy brought me there instead. I will talk to daddy about the tutoring and staying with you. We will be leaving for Sweden tomorrow and will be back on August 10th I will let you know then. Could you ask the goblins if it would be possible to find someone to teach me more in Windtalking?
Luna.
Harry smiled and thought to himself, "windtalking is that how she always seems to know what is going on?" Drinking down some of his tea Harry opened the next letter.
Harry,
Is it just me or is Ginny becoming an obsessive little bitch? That prophecy said the child would be born as the seventh month dies to parents who have thrice defied him I was also born on the 31st of July and my mum and dad had escaped Voldemort three time before couldn't that mean I could have been the chosen one? No offence but I am glad it is you and not me. However, I will stand beside you and fight him. Gran and I talked I want to join you in being trained to take him on. She said she would help cover expenses if needed. I am sorry I would most likely have to give up Herbology since I wanted to be a herbologist. Gran said I can do self-study on that subject and test next summer. Gran is going to get me an owl for my birthday this year. She said I can bond to an owl easier then Trevor. Since Trevor used to belong to an uncle before he left to see the rest of the world. Gran said this would be good for me. She said she would like to send Dumbledore a note saying I will not be attending Hogwarts and to piss off. There is going to be a vote of No confidence against Minister Fudge. Gran hopes Amelia Bones will step up. Gran also thinks you should press slander charges against him and Umbridge. She doesn't know whether it is still the same but the Potters and Blacks together owned 95% of the Daily Prophet. You should check in to that. Can't wait to start private tutoring this school year. Have a great summer.
Neville
"Interesting I will write Barchoke and ask him to check in to that. Not a bad idea with pressing slander charges. I might not be able to do a large greenhouse but we might be able to have a small one with some plants that are good to use in potions. I will also ask Barchoke about that. I would happily endorse Madam Bones for Minister of Magic." Harry thought to himself as he wrote a couple more notes on a pad beside him. He opened the last letter.
Harry,
Glad to hear you are out of those muggles house. Your welcome glad I was able to help. Bill took us on tour of Gringotts, Ruby checked us for potions and spells. She took lots off of us. Ginny didn't have any on her. But mum and dad said if I want to join you in being tutored I can as long as my grades get better not worse. Need to know what is needed though. I can't wait, although it does sound like it is going to be more work. Some of it sounds interesting. DO I have to take all of the classes? Fred and George gave me a job in the shop. Bill showed up yesterday and brought us new wands he said the ones we had were tracked and had portkeys on them. Going up and down stairs all the time is getting me in to shape. Did you know Bill got his masters in both warding and curse breaking? Fred and George are doing great with their business they said they had a silent partner that helped with the set up. Well I got to get back to work. Cool new owl by the way.
Ron.
Harry shook his head and laughed. Ron was such a scatter brain and he writes like he thinks, jumps all over the place. Harry headed upstairs, showered, and collapsed on the bed in his towel.
Well this chapter is done hope you liked it. Please review I will update again soon.
