Harry and Hermione, went to the world cup with the Weasleys, Everything Happened as it did the first time, except the confrontation with Malfoy. Harry won an obscene amount of money from the death eater families. The Riot started as it did before but Harry was waiting. The first one never saw the curse coming and dropped under his compatriot's feet, The second had no chance either a stinger curse went right through his wind pipe. The third started spinning around looking for the curses and hit the man next to him with the killing curse. The rest apperated away, the dark mark was set off but Harry let Barty Crouch Jr. Get away, he needed him at Hogwarts.
Bartimus Crouch and a few Aurors came firing Stunners and Harry ducked just like he did before. Mr. Weasley came running, "That's Harry Potter, and do you really think he would set off the dark mark?" Harry handed Mr. Crouch his wand. "I took on the terrorists, Sorry I missed the guy that set off the mark." Harry looked off to his left and pointed. "He was over there."
Just like last time Winky the house elf was laying on the ground wand in Hand and Crouch gave her a glove. The poor elf was completely mortified. Harry waited until every one left the area and called out to Winky. She popped into view. "Youse Called Winky?" Harry came down to her level. "Yes I did, I know you didn't do it and you're a good elf. Would you like to work for me?" Winky was heaving happy tears and was bouncing on the balls of her feet smiling. "Yes sir Please sir!"
Harry stood placed his hand on Winky's Head and Spoke. "I Harry Potter accept the house elf Winky into my Family as Winky Potter!" Poor Winky almost fainted as she just said. "I Accept!" The white light engulfed Winky and Harry then went out.
Harry called out. "Dobby" He appeared in an instant. "Dobby could you please take Winky Home, Give her a uniform and explain the rules of the family." Dobby stood straight and said. "Sure Harry no problem." He took Winky's Hand and they disappeared.
Harry and Hermione decided to spend their last two days before school at the burrow. When breakfast came the next morning, the fire works were ready to start and not set off by Fred or George. Mrs. Weasley had Ginny and Ron already at the table. Ron being up this early in summer almost never happened. She sat Harry next to Ginny and Ron beside Hermione. Breakfast was already on the table including glasses of pumpkin juice. Harry took one sniff of the pumpkin juice and said. "It's a beautiful morning Hermione; we should walk in the orchard after breakfast. (That was the cue that a small amount of love potion was in their drinks). Hermione quickly used a switching spell under the table and switched there drinks with Ron and Ginny. Hermione could still smell it hers so switched it with Fred's.
Now it was waiting for the fire works. Suddenly Ron was making Love eyes at Ginny Fred was now enamored with Ron and Ginny was making goo goo eyes at Hermione. Harry and Hermione kissed and walked out the door to the orchard but put an auror listening spell on the room. Ginny was telling her Mother how much she was in love with Hermione Fred was trying to kiss Ron and Ron was after Ginny. Mrs. Weasley sent them all to their rooms and was quickly making the antidote. Harry and Hermione walked in, and said. "Love potions don't work on a soul bond couple." They turned and walked back to the orchard and had a snuggle fest up against an apple tree.
Mrs. Weasley went to the desk in the den. She opened the drawer of important papers and found the marriage contract in ashes. Molly Weasley was not happy, at this turn of events. With Dumbledore still being held for trial, she would just have to wait.
Number 12 Grimmauld Place
The Malfoy's needless to say were not happy with their new home. The library was warded so they could not enter. The place was a total disaster dirt Magical bugs and pests of all kinds, but it was this or a two bedroom walk up on Knockturn Alley. Draco's things for school were delivered by the Goblins. Second hand Books and equipment, and his allowance from the Black Family was just 2 ½ galleons a month. Yes the prince of Slytherin was now a pauper. His manor house was being redecorated by none other than Hermione Granger. He would now be laughing stock of the school.
Hogwarts express
Harry and Hermione arrived at platform 9 ¾ at ten o'clock sharp September first. Hermione's parents being able to enter the barrier for the first time met them there with Sirius. The Weasleys were running late as usual so they flooed to the Leaky Cauldron and took a cab from there. The platform was almost empty so they were able to tour the train with Hermione's parents. At about ten thirty the Grangers were heading out. It was good for Hermione to see them one last time before school; Sirius and Remus were going to continue their training.
They got the very last compartment on the train and snuggled until it was time to leave the station. Dobby had packed them a picnic lunch and the basket smelled wonderful. Mrs. Weasley made them breakfast thankfully no love potions this time. They would not arrive at Hogsmead until six thirty that night so they saved the lunch until latter. At ten fifty eight Ron came into the compartment.
"What smells so good?" Was the first thing out of his mouth!
Harry Looked at Ron. "Winky made us lunch we figured we'd eat around two. You'll be welcome to join us of course."
Rons jealous streak was showing. "You have a house elf now?"
Hermione was the one who answered. "We actually have twenty in the family now. We bought the Malfoy manor when they went belly up. The contractors are doing the renovations now."
At this point the conversation came to a halt as Malfoy opened the door.
"Potter, Can I talk to you, Alone?"
