"Did they?" Molly seemed quite surprised, enough to forget what she was going to say
"Oh yes" Harry was acting his socks off "Ginny told me about how it's the best house and the twins convinced me she was telling the truth, to be honest the hat offered me the chance to go to Slytherin and I would have accepted it if it wasn't for these three. They've been wonderful helping me out with Quidditch, understanding the pure blood system, studying and telling me all about the light side" Molly looked towards Ginny and the twins who were smiling innocently
"Well done" She hugged them before turning back to Harry
"What about Percy?" She asked
"I've barley seen him all year" Harry replied, it was true, only because Harry was avoiding him.
"We think" Fred spoke
"that Percy" George continued
"was a little"
"too busy"
"to help"
"young Harry" Molly looked furious
"What about Ron?" She asked, praying for a good answer
"No offence but I wouldn't let him be my friend if he paid me. Ginny, you explain, if your mom is half as nice as you tell me then she'll believe you"
"Okay Harry" Ginny nodded before taking over Harry's job as lead actor "whenever Ron's around Harry he's always being mean or annoying, he keeps following him around, he always talks with his mouth full, he's always trying to take credit for things Harry does and there's also how he acts in class. In class he keeps getting in trouble or trying to distract Harry, the teachers have actually had to move him away from Harry in class." Molly looked like she was going to faint
"There's also his fascination with Slytherin house" Harry added, he was in the pool so he figured why not go to the deep end.
"What?!" Molly shrieked, Ginny ducked her face out of view so her mother couldn't see her smile. The twins were in shock, they expected a lie or two but that was big. Ron is going to be in so much trouble, somehow they were okay with that.
"He's always talking about Slytherin" Harry explained "be it class related or not, he disguises it by saying he hates them but personally I think he's jealous of how they're all rich. One time I saw him trying on their uniform" Molly was about to faint, fortunately Arthur had managed to hold her up.
"Sir" Harry spoke to him "do you mind if I come and visit over the summer to see the twins and Ginny?"
"Sure" Arthur smiled
"Thank you sir" Harry returned the smile before having a quick internal debate about adding, one more lie. "You're so kind sir, that's probably why Ron say you're his favorite parent" Obviously the better side won.
Arthur smiled, he knew what was going on but it was too hilarious to not play along. Molly looked absolutely furious, her face seemed to match the color of her hair and Harry expected steam to come out of her ears. The twins in that moment decided that if there was ever a chance that Harry would become their brother, they would take it within a heartbeat. Harry could have sworn he had heard four other people laughing but quickly dismissed it. Harry turned around and hugged Ginny because he expected her to burst out laughing. She pressed her face into his chest to stop any sound from coming out, they were like that for a good minute before she managed to suppress her laughter. Molly was too furious to notice.
"I'll miss you" Ginny whispered
"I'll have the elves pop in with letters when I'm not there" Harry whispered back "I'll see you other the summer, until next time Mrs. Potter" Ginny gasped as Harry kissed her on the forehead and left. She was dazed, not dazed enough to not notice and laugh at her mother shouting at Percy and Ron but dazed. 'I'm going to marry him one day' she thought for what felt like the first she had ever thought about it.
Once Harry had made his way through the barrier, he walked away whistling a merry tune as he went. He decided to take the opportunity to visit a restaurant, there was one he owned nearby and the best part was Wizards and witches ran it so he had Stink take his stuff back while went inside. He stopped and was amazed to see the Dursley's sitting at a table with a very important looking man in a suit. Harry however recognized the man, he had seen a picture of him when one of the second year was showing off his photo album, Harry being the kind soul he was would decide to leave the Dursley's alone as he's made them suffer enough.
"Hello guys" Harry cheerfully spoke as he sat down, the Dursley's were too scared and surprised to say anything "nice restaurant isn't it?"
"What are you doing here?" Uncle Vernon blurted out, his face now red
"Well I finished my first year at Hogwarts and I just came back and decided I'd have a bite to eat, I figure why waste money when I own this place and can eat for free. I'm just waiting for them to get my food ready so I can pick it up and leave"
"Harry Potter" The man exclaimed "The names Jonathon Coach, it's an honor to meet you, all the stories I hear about you at Hogwarts are simply amazing!"
"You're one of them?!" Vernon asked
"No" The man shook his head "I'm just a regular Muggle like you guys, my son however isn't. All the stories his told me of Harry are simply amazing. Being the best in every class, taking away the Headmasters Phoenix, leading the school during an attack from a troll and plenty of other things"
"I try" Harry wiped some imaginary dust off of his shoulders "do you know all the staff here are wizards and witches as well? What are you doing here?"
"Your uncle wants to work for me? I can only assume you'd recommend him?"
"Quite the opposite actually" Harry spoke calmly, while his uncle looked like he was boiling. The other two looked two scared to move, they weren't going to forget what Harry did any time soon.
"Why's that?" Jonathon asked curiously
"I can recommend people who spent the first half of my life beating and starving me and making me live in a cupboard"
"What?!" Jonathon was now the reddest thing in the whole country "how could you do that after all he's for you?!"
"All he's done for us?" Vernon slammed his fist on the table "all his done is waste money, take up space and bother us with his freakishness."
"Freakishness?!" Jonathon roared
