Chapter 24

Violet's pov

As we arrived outside of the Burrow, Grace ran to the door grabbing Regulus with her. Sirius, Remus, Regulus and Grace walked in first leaving me and Harry behind them. Harry squeezed my hand tightly, I looked down at him and smiled. "What if they don't like me?" Harry muttered under his shaky breath. I kneeled down and turned him to face me, "Love, you are just like your mom. Mrs. and Mr. Weasley knew your parents so they already love you. And like I said you are famous in the wizarding world so all the kids already like you. I won't leave your side until you are ready." I comforted him before rubbing his hair back, he nodded and I opened the door.

As we walked in Harry was in awe at the house and all the trinkets, I smiled down at him before Molly walked over. "Ah, Violet! Thank you for taking the boys. Oh! Harry! Violet you got Harry!" Molly cheered hugging me. "Hi dear, I'm Molly." Molly greeted pulling Harry in for a hug. "Nice to meet you Mrs. Weasley." Harry mumbled, "Call me Molly dear." Molly stated, ushering us in. "Harry, you might want to let go of Violet's hand and stand with me right here." Grace pulled away to the opposite side of the couch. "Why?" Harry questioned before hearing loud footsteps get close.

"VI!" Fred and George tackled me onto the couch. I laughed holding them close to me and kissed their heads and cheeks. "Hi boys." I cheered before they got off me. "We missed you," George started. "Terribly, Vi!" Fred finished as they hugged me again. "I missed you too, George, Fred." I smiled at them before they turned to see Harry. "Blimey! Is that-," Fred started. "Really Harry Potter?" George finished. Harry shyly waved, I walked over to Harry and wrapped my arm around his shoulders. "I'm Fred." Fred stated. "And I'm George." George added sticking their hands out, Harry shook their hands. "I'm Harry." Harry muttered shyly.

"What's with all the ruckus?" Ron questioned walking down the stairs with Ginny and Percy in tow. "VI!" Ginny cried running to me. "Hey, Gin! How are you?" I asked as I hugged her tightly. Once she pulled away she smiled at me, "I'm good. Can Violet stay for dinner?" Ginny asks, looking at me ignoring Regulus. "Of course, love." I stated, rubbing her cheek. "It's like I don't exist, as if I'm not her father!" Regulus complained. Grace jumped on his back and kissed his cheek. "Dad, how many times do you need to be reminded? Mom calls the shots!" Grace giggled as Regulus threw her on the couch landing on the twins.

"Hi! I'm Ron. Ron Weasley." Ron greeted sticking his hand out to Harry. "Pleasure, I'm Harry. Harry Potter!" Harry introduced shaking Ron's hand. Ron's eyes went wide and looked up at me. "You got him!" Ron cheered, hugging me, I nodded and smiled at Harry. "Okay! Percy, Fred, George, Ron, and Harry we are going shopping for supplies so go grab your lists. Grace, you are staying here with your dad, Molly, and Arthur once he gets home. Sirius, Remus don't cause trouble." I ordered making Sirius and Remus exchange looks before tackling me to the couch. Harry stood back and laughed at me, I looked at him and glared playfully. Grace jumped on Harry's back and tickled him, Harry laughed and tried to squirm out of Grace's grip. "Alright! Off! We have places to be." I groaned as I pushed Sirius and Remus off me.

Arriving in Diagon Alley, Sirius and Remus grabbed Harry and Ron's hands. "We call these two! You can have the twins. Percy who do you want to go with?" Remus asked as they stood across from us. Percy looked at the twins before ultimately deciding to go with the first years. I walked over to Harry, I handed him a small bag with galleons, knuts, and sickles. "They can help you figure out how to pay with these okay?" I asked, Harry nodded before hugging me, I hugged him back before standing to follow the twins. I watched as they walked off and I noticed Sirius place Harry on his shoulders, I smiled before walking into Flourish and Blotts.

Harry's pov

Sirius placed me on his shoulders as they moved through the crowd, I noticed people gasping and pointing at me whispering 'It can't be! That's Harry Potter! The boy who lived returns!' I knew I was 'famous' here from what Violet told me but I didn't think it would be this much. My grip tightened onto Sirius' hands, he took notice and lifted me down so I was on his hip. "Are you okay, Harry?" He asked me as I looked around the alley. I shook my head and he immediately dragged us into a very old store. He placed me down and held my face in his hands, "What do you need?" He questioned looking between me and Remus.
