Standing Alone.

Chapter 5 - My Sister.

A/N: Sorry about the late update, it's my birthday soon, and I have had zero time, with everyone wanting to celebrate. Hope you like this chapter, I will see if I can get two out next week. 

"Thank you for bringing me along, Mr. Weasley." Harry said with an inclined head as he stood with the head of the Weasley family, outside of Grimmauld place. "Of course, Harry! And please, just call me Arthur. Now, we need to go find the two Diggory's and the rest of the group" He muttered and Harry nodded stiffly. Flipping the collar of his black trenchcoat, up around his ears, he followed after the man.

Harry had on his black trenchcoat, with a white scarf draped over his shoulder. A black button up shirt with black dress pants and black boots. His glasses hidden away in a case, inside of his bag.

Arthur watched the boy, and began to see what his oldest sons were talking about. Harry was small... Not necesarrily in height, but generally, he was tiny. Long thin fingers, thin shoulders, thin everything. His face pointy enough to cut yourself on. Arthur especially watched Harry's face, as it seemed to shift and look weird from time to time, his jaw suddenly getting broader, and then slimming. And that was when he realised, Harry was wearing a glamour...

Finally catching up with his kids as well as the two Diggory's, Arthur introduced Harry to them, the three all shaking hands. "Cedric." The boy said and Harry inclined his head. "Wow, Arthur, how'd you find someone like him?" The man asked and let out a belly laugh. "In a basket on the front step of the Ministry." Harry joked and it only made the man laugh even harder. "Good boy! Good boy! Now, come along."

Harry, as always, hated magical transportation, Portkeys being one of the worst. He was unable to land on his feet though and helped up Cedric, who had fallen to his stomach, throwing up. "Here." Harry flicked his wrist, and the soiled shirt was cleaned up. "But, you're not 17 yet..." Cedric laughed and Harry placed a finger to his lips, Cedric smirking and nodding his head with a chuckle.

He liked the kid.

They walked to their camping place and got settled in. "I'm gonna go for a walk..." Harry said and the only response he got, was a small nod from the group. Walking out with his hands in his pockets, he walked to the woods, mindful of the time.

The tall trees covered him on all sides, and Harry glanced around, the darkness confusing his sense of time, but he knew that it was not yet time to be worried about getting back, far from it. Whistling, a green mist leaving his lips; a calling, for all who knew to listen.

A few minutes past, before anyone responded. "Took ya long enough." Harry muttered and greeted Blaise with a fist bump, the boy nodding with a smirk. "Of course. Can't rush perfection, ya know?" He snickered. "Yeah, he certainly knows more about that than you." Pansy's snide remark came and the girl walked over, bringing Harry into a hug and sticking her tongue out at the other boy, who did the same right back. "Oh calm down you two." Greengrass sighed, also walking out from the shadows.

"All of you, stop bickering, you're giving me a bloody headache." Draco grumbled, nodding to Harry and glaring at the others. "Oh speak for yourself, Malfoy." Theodore laughed, stepping into the clearing as well. "Be kind, please." Luna's soft voice sounded and Harry brightened up, quickly bringing the girl into a tight hug.

"Did you have fun with your god-parents?" Luna asked softly and Harry sighed. "I wish they would leave the house... Forever..." He sneered and the young girl chuckled, giving him a peck on the cheek. "Yes, I know my sweets." Pansy coddled and moved some of Harry's hair behind his ear. "A little while longer, and we will all be at Hogwarts again." Harry nodded slowly and sighed. "Yes... That is gonna be good."

They all walked together, back to the overwhelming masses of tents and people, eyes following them as they walked. They passed Luna's tent first, all saying goodbye to her. "Be safe, okay?" Harry said and kissed her on the forehead. "I always am, Harry. You're the trouble magnet." She giggled and then went inside of the tent.

"She is not wrong." Pansy sing-songes, skipping up beside Harry and taking his arm in hers. "I know she isn't, Pans." Harry sighed and glanced to the others, who all snickered. The next person they said goodbye to, was Theodore, and then Greengrass. "Are you standing with the Weasley's or us?" Draco asked and Harry shrugged. "I do not know. Half of the games with you, the other half with them, I presume. Which part would you rather me stay with you?" Humming, Pansy smiled. "Last half! So we can leave together." She nodded.

Harry inclined his head as they reached Pansy' tent. "Of course, my lady." He bowed and kissed her hand. "Now be a good girl and don't cause your family too much trouble." He said sternly and she pinked up, before hurrying into the tent. "Oh that was just mean." Blaise laughed as they left, Draco and Blaise belly laughing, while Harry just smiled softly. "Oh she knows she is not my type..."

"You hope." Draco laughed, and Harry nodded slowly, not being able to disagree with that. "Welp, this is my stop." He said and waved goodbye to the other two, entering the tent as they walked off. "Harry!" Fred and George both exclaimed, smiling brightly. "What is your obsession with him?" Ron laughed and the two smirked.

"Wouldn't you like to know, Ronni-kins." They both said and suddenly, Harry found himself lifted from the ground and in Fred's arms, the boy making kissing faces. "Oi, leave some for me, dearest brother." George laughed and Harry quickly put up his hand to stop both of their mouthes.

"Consent is key, gentlemen." Hermione laughed and Harry glared at her.

"Dearest Harry-kins-"

"No."

"Oh you break our hearts."

"Fucking shatter."

Harry smirked, walking off as the two dramatically fell to the floor. Stealing one of Ginny's cookies, he went over to Bill and Charlie in order to be safe from all of the chaos. "Here." He said, showing the now duplicated cookie to the two, handing it to them. "You should eat them Harry." Charlie tried, Harry shook his head with a shrug. "Not hungry."

"Then why'd you take it!" Ginny huffed and Harry smirked. "Because I am a force to be reckoned with." Hermione laughed all the while shaking her head.

"I'm gonna find Draco and the others." Harry called to Bill and Charlie, who smiled and nodded, giving him two sets of thumbs up, making sure he understood that they had heard him. Walking down the many stairs and trying to catch a glimbse of the group, Harry didn't notice when he bumped into a man. "Oh! Sorry!" Harry chuckled and looked up, his breathing catching in his throat, it seemed that the man had gotten the same reaction.

Before Harry could react, the man had run away. All Harry could do, was stare at where he had just been standing. "HARRY!" Someone called his name, shaking him out of his daze. "The game is over, you okay?" Fred asked and Harry's head whisked around, and true enough, everyone were leaving. "Who won..?" Harry asked and George raised a questioning brow. "How long were you staring for?" He laughed and Harry began to shake, worrying them all.

"Harry..." Hermione said gently, bringing the boy to their seats, their platform now emptied out. "What happened back there? I thought you were going to find your friends." Bill said and Harry gulped. "I... I didn't make it far..." He muttered and took a few shaky breaths. The sound of feet stomping over, made everyone's heads rise. "Harry! You never came..." Pansy pouted and Harry sent her a very sharp look. "Something happened then..?" Luna asked, eyeing the boy. Harry nodded stiffly.

"What happened?" Harry shook his head. "Nothing... I must have been seeing things..." Getting helped back onto his feet, Harry left with the others, Luna's arm tightly around his middle, his around hers as well. She was growing into her mothers height, which made Harry smile. "Your mother would have been so proud of you..." He said softly and everyone, but Luna, looked at him in confusion. "You truly think so..?" Luna asked and Harry nodded. "I know so... You're growing into a fine young lady, Luna. And you have every reason to be proud of yourself."

Smiling brightly, Luna leaned in, kissing Harry on the cheek. "Luna and Harry, sitting in a tree-" Ron was cut off by a jab in the ribs from Pansy. "They're not an item, you idiot." Theodore rolled his eyes. "Oh but they so are!" Ginny laughed. Luna and Harry looked at them all. "Oh, but we are not. I love Harry, but he is like my brother..." Luna smiled at the boy at her side.

Harry looked at Luna and smiled as well. He only ever truly smiled with her. "And you like a sister."
