"Come on!" Harry hissed to himself through gritted teeth as he tried to levitate himself into the air. He was currently in the basement of Number 12 Grimmauld Place, as of the moment there was only one other person in the room with him and that was Angela who was sat on the side with Jet in her lap and Thor on her shoulder. "Move into the air, damn it!" Harry yelled out before he stopped trying and began rubbing his face. "That's disappointing."
"Yes, it is." Angela agreed, having patiently watched Harry try and fly for the last half an hour or so. "Though that is to be expected, if it was an easy spell to learn then we would have heard of plenty of people doing it by now. But still, I believe that it's very possible for you to learn the spell. Hopefully you'll be able to at least start hovering before we return to school, I'm not exactly sure what a good goal is for this spell with our time period." She added the last part with a shrug.
"Neither am I," Harry admitted. "but hopefully I'll be able to start hovering soon at least, it feels like I'm wasting my time without seeing results."
"I understand that but remember, you are a Slytherin. Patience is important." She replied.
"So are results." Harry said jokingly just before Thor flew off of Angela's shoulder and flapped his wings until he landed on the arm that Harry extended for him. Thor let out a proud chirp when he had landed. "Aw, your trying to show off now, aren't you?" Harry said with a grin. "Trying to show off the fact that you can fly and I can't." Thor actually nodded and let out several happy chirps.
"Hmm, he must take after his master." Angela said with a grin.
"What the hell?!" Sirius blurted out as he entered the kitchen without any hair. "Who did this?!"
"That would be us!" Tonks grinned as she gestured to Harry and herself.
"Consider it step one of our vengeance." Harry said with a small grin.
"Is this about the Weasley's?" Sirius sighed.
"Partly." Tonks nodded. "Shall we run through the list of things you did wrong?"
"We should." Harry said before Sirius could reply.
"Number the first: You live in this house but this is technically the property of Lord Black, so you should have asked his permission before letting the order or the Weasley's in here." Tonks began.
"Number the two: If not him then you should have asked me at least since I'll be inheriting this property." Harry continued.
"Number the three: I am really liking this 'Number the...' thing.
"Number the four: So am I."
"Number the five: You invited a family that we don't like to live with us without asking any of us.
"Number the six: I promise you that both Lord Black and I will not be happy to have the Weasley family stay in this home, and that's not counting the rest of the people living in this house." Harry said.
"Number the seven: It's too late for you to cancel now."
"Alright, alright, I'm sorry." Sirius sighed. "Their home had been attacked and they were under danger as known muggle supporters, this is just until their home is repaired and warded up. I didn't think it would be this big of an issue.
"Number the eight: You don't think." Harry and Tonks said at the same time, both glaring at Sirius.
"Did you two practise that?" Ted asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Yes." The two once again answered at the same time.
"Look I get it, I messed up." Sirius said, rolling his eyes. "So...what's step two in your vengeance?"
"Absolutely nothing." Tonks answered.
"Eh?" Sirius blinked.
"Sirius, you're about to spend the rest of the summer and possibly longer with the Weasley's." Harry spoke slowly as if he was explaining something simple to a child. "That will be punishment enough."
"Welcome all, come in." Sirius said when the Weasley's arrived, he was thankful that he had been able to get his hair back before they arrived.
"Thank you for letting us all stay." Molly Weasley said as she entered the house followed by the twins, Ginny and Ron. "Arthur is busy at work so he'll be here in an hour or so."
"That's all well and good but please don't make too much noise." Sirius said as the kids began talking to each other after greeting him. "I don't want to wake...
"Filth!" The curtains on the portrait of Walburga Black opened up. "Mudbloods! Blood Traitors! Curses on the wizarding world!"
"Her," Sirius sighed, "I don't want to wake her."
"What is that?!" Molly asked as the portrait continued to scream curses.
"A portrait of my thankfully deceased mother." Sirius calmly explained as if the portrait wasn't continuing to scream.
"Aren't you going to stop her or something?" Ginny asked while covering her ears.
"Oh no, I have someone for that." Sirius said as he heard footsteps coming from upstairs.
"What the fuck is going on?" Harry calmly asked as he reached the bottom of the stairs.
"What are you doing here?!" Ron blurted out.
"I live here you orange haired, troglodyte." Harry said without breaking pace before he stopped in front of the portrait. "Can you stop?" Harry asked in an annoyed voice. Walburga turned to him and was about to say something before pausing when she realised it was Harry. She stopped screaming out of respect for Harry, she had been ecstatic when she had learnt that Lord Black had made this parslemouth with two familiars – a snake and a thunderbird of all things! - the heir to the Black family. As of the moment Harry was about the only person living in this house who she was willing to listen to.
"There are...filth...in the house of Black." She said before gesturing in the direction of the Weasley's.
"Trust me, I'm not particularly happy about this either, but unfortunately your son is an idiot." Harry shrugged.
"He is an idiot." She agreed with a suffering sigh.
"Hey!" Sirius said, only to be ignored.
"Either way we're going to be experiencing their company along with several other people you will consider 'undesirable', screaming does not benefit anyone. We are members of the Black family, we don't scream., our enemies do, so please stop screaming unless we're under attack." Harry responded before pulling out his wand. "I will handle this." He added before flicking his wand and causing the curtains to close.
"You...you can't do magic! You'll get in trouble!" Mrs Weasley said.
"No I won't, I've got special permission to use magic outside school." Harry calmly replied as he turned to her, only to frown. "Where are the others?" He asked Ginny.
"Dad's at work and will be here soon," Ginny began answering. "Bill and Charlie are currently out of the country for a bit, doing whatever it is a curse breaker and dragon handler does." Harry nodded at that, at least Charlie wouldn't be here to bother Tonks. "As for Percy," Here Ginny scowled. "the prat is currently siding with the Ministry and is one of the many idiots claiming that you're lying."
"Of course he is." Harry said with a roll of his eyes.
"I didn't know the two of you were such good friends." Mrs Weasley said in an almost hopeful voice.
"We do live in the same school house." Harry reminded her, cutting her off before she could say anymore. "Kreacher, Dobby, Flipsy." Harry called, a second later Kreacher popped in followed by the other two elves. "Kreacher, please show them to their rooms. Can the rest of you take their stuff to their rooms?"
"Yes Master." The elves chorused before Dobby and Flipsy began taking the Weasley's trunks. Kreacher sniffed as he looked at the Weasley's before gesturing them to follow him.
"This'll be fun." Harry said with a sigh once the Weasley's were gone upstairs.
Once they had all settled in, Mrs Weasley and the other Weasley children came down to the kitchen where everyone - with the exception of Angela who was still upstairs, the other two exceptions were Ted and Tonks who had both gone to work, conveniently when the Weasley's were supposed to be coming - was sat.
"Hi Ginny!" Roman said with a smile when he saw her enter the room.
"What are you doing here?!" Ron demanded upon seeing Roman.
"He is a ward of the Black family," Harry spoke in a cold voice before anyone else could, Harry was sat in his seat with Jet resting on his shoulders and Thor perched on Harry's left hand which was on top of the table. "my family, the family that owns the house that you are all going to be living in. So I would advise you - if you truly want your family to have somewhere to stay this summer - to be more respectful." Harry finished, the warning evident in his voice. Ron looked like he wanted to say more but was stopped by the twins who both nudged him in a way that clearly said 'shut up'.
"Hi Roman." Ginny said as she walked over and sat next to Roman, she gave him a quick hug before the two began talking with each other. The rest of the Weasley's sat down at the table, Mrs Weasley was about to speak when suddenly Angela appeared in the room.
"Oh, you're all here." She said in a casual voice before she walked around the table, every eye was on her, though for different reasons. Angela's hair had been let down and was hanging slightly past her shoulders. The only thing she was really wearing was a pair of slippers for her feet, a pair of black shorts that descended down to just above her knees and a white button up shirt which was actually Harry's and had just been magically altered slightly to fit her.
Ginny resisted the urge to giggle at the dumbstruck looks on the faces of her brothers as their eyes were glued to Angela as she walked around the table. Roman had merely rolled his eyes at the Weasley boys, he knew they had no chance in hell of even being given permission to touch Angela, though he couldn't fault them for wanting to look. Angela stopped next to Harry and gave him a quick but passionate kiss on the lips before sitting down next to him. She reached out and petted Thor and Jet, acting as if she hadn't even noticed the boys reactions or the disapproving glare from Mrs Weasley.
"Harry, I thought you were with Daphne." Andromeda frowned. "You're cheating on her?"
"No, this was actually her idea." Harry calmly explained as he gestured between himself and Angela. "Believe me, she was the one who convinced me its fine. We're in a...I suppose you could say 'three way relationship'."
"You mean you and both girls at the same time?" Sirius asked, sounding very jealous, he had never gotten two good looking girls to have a three way relationship when he was Harry's age.
"Pretty much." Harry said with a smirk.
"That is very inappropriate," Mrs Weasley frowned. "I understand how it can be appeal think it should be said that you would be far better off if you just choose a nice girl and settle down with her."
"Your opinion has been noted." Harry said dismissively before he returned to eating dinner.
"And you," Mrs Weasley changed her attention to Angela. "you should dress more appropriately."
"The only opinion that matters to me is my masters, so don't bother wasting your breath." Angela said, just as dismissively as Harry. Mrs Weasley looked like she wanted to say more but stopped when she heard the sound of hissing and saw Jet looking at her, it seemed to her like the snake was waiting for her to continue speaking. She gulped and kept quiet.
"I'm doing it!" Harry said happily later that evening while in the basement as he began to hover a couple of inches off the ground, Thor was flying around him in a circle, letting out happy trills.
"Well done, Harry!" Angela said enthusiastically, standing on the side with Jet on her shoulders. "If you keep practising then you should be able to start properly flying soon." She added once Harry had dropped back down to the ground.
"That's the plan." Harry grinned, after another ten minutes or so of practise Harry and Angela returned upstairs to find Lord Black enter the building.
"Lord Black." Angela nodded respectfully.
"Where have you been?" Harry asked curiously.
"Working," Lord Black grunted. "firstly I was off getting Bagman arrested."
"Just arrested?" Harry asked knowingly.
"Just arrested." Lord Black repeated with a wink before his face suddenly shifted into a scowl. "Unfortunately the stupid boot licker had performed a magical vow to stop himself from revealing who had paid him."
"Wow, Malfoy actually made a smart decision." Harry said in a voice full of fake surprise. "By the way, before we continue you should know that Dumbledore secret group and the Weasley family are staying here." Harry told him.
"What?!"
"Blame Sirius." Harry shrugged.
"I will," Lord Black growled. "wait there for a minute, let me find the mangy mutt and then I'll get back to you." He said before he walked off.
"If the dog is killed then can I eat him?" Jet asked.
"No, but you can keep his room." Harry replied.
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"That works."
