********Harry's POV*********
I woke up feeling like something was missing. I opened my eyes and Gracie was gone. "Gracie? Gracie!" I panicked, sitting up and looking around frantically. Nat rolled her eyes, stepping out of the bathroom.
"Chill. Uncle Sirius woke us all up a while ago but she wanted you to get some sleep. She said she'd make sure you were ready on time. She's already up, but I'm not sure where." She shrugged, walking back in, toothbrush in hand. I rubbed at my face, calming down instantly. I stood up, heading for the bathroom near my room. I opened the door to hear the shower running.
Crap.
It was Gracie, and the door was see through. Damn! Look away, look away. I can't look away!
The water stopped and my eyes widened. I opened the door frantically, stepping out. Sirius walked by and stopped, quirking an eyebrow. "It was er, occupied!" I muttered, looking anywhere but him.
"I know. That's why I stopped." He smirked, laughing. Now I was confused. Why would he be laughing? That's his daughter! "I should probably be angry right now. But your face," he stopped and started laughing. "It's priceless!"
I rolled my eyes, feeling my face heat up. "She almost caught me!"
"Maxie almost caught me in Azkaban." He shrugged, like that was nothing. I looked at him in shock, thinking, 'Dad, your best friend is so weird!' "Yeah, I walked in, took one look, and couldn't look away." He sighed, acting like it was the best day of his life. "Something you'll never forget!" He walked away, while I stared after him in shock. How can he be making jokes right now?
"Sirius may not have killed you, but Ron will! And Draco! And Bill and Charlie, and Fred and George. I'm going to tell them. Right now!" Ginny laughed, smirking at me. Those words pulled me out of my thoughts completely and sent me crashing into a cold, hard reality.
"Ginny!" She took off running down the hall, screaming for the guys. Gracie came out, seeing me there looking confused.
"POTTER!" About five voices came from downstairs, then a bunch of footsteps. Her eyes widened and she looked at me in surprise. She grabbed my wrist and pulled me into her room, locking the door.
"I don't know what you did, but you ticked them off. Go hide in the bathroom, lock the door!" She laughed, glaring at the door.
"Thanks love!" I kissed her cheek, running towards the bathroom. Thirty seconds later, they pounded on the door, yelling for her to open it.
"Kind of busy!"
"Open the door Gracelyn Paige! Now!" Charlie yelled, banging on it again. I winced at his tone of voice. I'm dead. Voldemort can't kill me, but the Weasley's can. Brilliant Harry! Brilliant.
"No!" She responded, staying calm.
"Is Harry in there with you?" Ron asked, I heard the lock clicking, and I knew she would too.
"Yeah Ron." What is she doing?! "I'm in here trying to get dressed and Harry is sitting on the bed, just watching!" Oh. Sarcasm. Okay then.
"Potter!"
"She's kidding you git!" I could almost see Bill rolling his eyes. I heard a bang and instantly started fearing for my life.
"Please don't let me die!" I muttered, backing towards the other door.
"What the bloody hell do you think your doing?"
"Harry! Over here!" I turned around to see Hermione and Ginny. I glared at Ginny, not really trusting them. "Seriously Harry! We're trying to help!" Hermione pulled me into their room, which was pink and girly. "Stay here! Lock the door!" They left and I did as they said, listening through the door.

"What do you guys think your doing?" Ginny screamed, Hermione gasped, probably glaring at them.
"Well we were uh, looking for, Harry!"
"Yeah er, Natalyn said he'd be in here!"
"We didn't mean to uhm, well, you know."
"Just get out you pricks! Or I'll hex you!" Gracie snarled, obviously mad. They may die before they get a chance to kill me.
"Where's Harry? We'll leave if you tell us!"
"I don't know where he's at! He was asleep last time I saw him!"
"Well he saw you!" Ron snapped, I winced, but couldn't really regret seeing her. What can I say, I'm a fifteen year old guy. Still, now I have to worry about her killing me, and the guys.
"What?"
"He walked in on you in the shower!" George yelled, completely throwing me under the knight bus.
"He did?"
"It was an accident! He didn't mean to! Nat was in ours so he went to that one. He left though! He didn't stay in there, right Ginny?" Thank you Hermione! I made a mental note to thank her later.
"W, what did he s,say?" Gracie stuttered, her voice dropping to a whisper. Is she being self conscious?
"Well he wasn't disappointed!" Ginny laughed, making my face heat up.
"So now can we kill him?"
"Hell no! He's my boyfriend and I say you can't touch him!"
"Aren't you going to do something about it?"
"Why would she? He's her boyfriend? It's his body to look at!" Ginny snickered, and my face paled. They. Are. Going. To. Kill. Me!
"Ginny! No I'm not going to do anything. It was an accident. He didn't mean to. Plus it's partially my fault. I didn't lock the door. Now, get out!"
"No!"
"For Merlin's sake! In here Gracie!" I heard the bathroom door open so I ran, ducking under Ginny's bed. The bedroom door opened and I stopped breathing. Then it closed. "Harry?" I peeked out from under the bed.
"Er, hi!" I muttered, pulling myself out from under there. The girls giggled, there were four of them. "Where did you come from?" I asked, looking at Nat.
"Whose idea do you think this was?" She scoffed, rolling her eyes. I nodded, looking away. Gracie was in only a towel. This is not helping anything downstairs. I need a shower. A cold one. "Here Gracie. Don't be shy, Harry's already seen!" Nat laughed, tossing Gracie her clothes. She caught them one handed, blushing.
"Sorry. I didn't mean-"
"It's fine. It was an accident. And I hate to give up your hiding place but uh, I'm not changing in front of all of you. So, I'm opening the door." She smiled, shaking her head. Merlin I love this girl! She's so calm about everything! She's sweet and beautiful and smart and funny. She's everything you could ask for, and she's mine. So it's even better!
She opened the door, checked, and slipped outside. I sighed, laying on the bed. "Want me to get your clothes too Potter?" Nat smirked, leaning against the door frame with her arms crossed.
"I'll get them." I stood up, walking towards the door. "I need my cloak!" I groaned, spotting Ron outside my room. Hermione rolled her eyes, pushing past me. She walked up to Ron, said something, then they walked downstairs. "Thanks Hermione!" I whispered, running across the hall. I shut and locked the door quickly, then walked to my dresser. It wasn't hard to get dressed. I walked to the bathroom and this time I knocked, four times. Then closed my eyes before going inside.

"You can open your eyes!" Gracie giggled, toothbrush in hand. I smiled, watching her for a minute. She started brushing her teeth in front of the mirror, so I joined her, grabbing my tooth brush and brushing my teeth. She finished a few seconds before me, but she waited. "Are they still hunting you?"
"I don't think they'll ever stop!"
"They will. It's just not a good time. We're leaving in five minutes by the way." She smiled, leaning back against the sink.
"Thanks!" I smiled, putting my brush up. I attempted to make my hair lay down, but it didn't work. She giggled, the shifted, trying to fix it. She managed to get some of it to lay down. "How'd you do that?"
She shrugged. "I don't know really! Ready?"
"Yeah. I just need my shoes." I begin looking for them before I remembered we were in the bathroom.
"My room, foot of the bed. With my shoes actually. Come on!" She took my hand, leading me down the hall. We passed Ron and I thought he was going to pounce on me, but one glare from her and he backed off and settled for glaring. We went into the room, shoving our shoes on quickly. When I finished, she was staring at me with this adorable little smile.
"What?" I smirked, feeling the urge to smile back. Like her smile was contagious or something. She shook her head, giggling.
"Nothing, it's just, we match!" I raised my eyebrows, looking down. We were both wearing a v-neck t-shirt, mine a darker shade of blue than her's, and skinny jeans, with converse. I smiled, ruffling her hair. She scowled, swatting my hand away. This made me laugh completely, then I stood up, pulling her to her feet.
"Kids! Lets go!" Maxie yelled, right on time. I bent down so Gracie could climb on, and she did, giggling the whole time. Merlin I'm addicted to that giggle. Maybe I am whipped. But who cares? On the way downstairs, she started singing softly, more to herself than me, but I still heard her. And so did the girls, because soon they were all singing, even Maxie.
"Here's to my home girls with the big butts!"
"Shaking it like we at a strip club!"
"Remember only God can judge us!"
"Forget the haters!"
"Cus somebody loves ya!" Maxie finished, and they all smiled, hugging each other. I chuckled, watching them in amusement. They say some of the randomest stuff at the weirdest times. The guys turned to me with a cold glare.
"Look guys, I didn't mean to okay? So can you quit giving me the cold shoulder?" I huffed, rolling my eyes. Some of them looked uneasy, but others sighed, forgiving me easily. Fred, George, and Ron forgave me. Bill and Charlie, not so much. But that's okay because I don't see them everyday. "Thanks!" I smiled, turning back to Sirius and Maxie.
"Yeah whatever. Just don't do it again!" Ron said, nudging me with his elbow. I laughed, shoving him back. Gracie squealed because she started to slip. "Watch it mate!"
"I'm fine!" She laughed, readjusting herself so she wouldn't fall. "That was kind of fun!"
"Okay okay! We have to go. Fred and George, Bill and Charlie, we're apparating, so pick a teen!" Sirius said, clapping his hands together. He and Maxie were apparating the twins I guess. Fred, of course, took Nat, George and Ginny, Bill and Ron, and Charlie and Ginny. That left me to go with Tonks or Lupin, who'd just shown up.
"Ooh! Ooh! I call Gracie!" Tonks stated, waving her hand around in the air. Gracie laughed, slipping down easily to walk over to Tonks. Tonks bent down, carrying her the same way I had been. Gracie broke into hysterics, laughing happily. I haven't seen her like this in a while. Actually, the only time I see her like this is when all of her family and friends are together, having fun. "Race you!" Tonks stuck her tongue out at me and Lupin, Gracie looked at me with a smirk.
"Your going down!"
"Three!" Tonks started, Lupin and I got ready, and if I'm not mistaken, so did a lot of other groups. "T-"
"Go Tonks go!" Gracie shouted, smiling happily. They flipped us off and disappeared. Everyone else burst into laughter.
"She's nuts!" Ron laughed, shaking his head.
"And a cheater!" Nat whined, stomping her foot. "Lets go Fred! Second place!" Then they popped out, making everyone laugh again. Lupin apparated and I was standing next to Gracie, who was on Tonks back fist pumping. Tonks was jumping up and down and they were singing 'we are the champions'. Nat and Fred were glowering and everyone else started showing up. We all started laughing again when we saw them.
"Only you two could make this situation funny!" Bill chuckled, shaking his head. We all nodded, but sobered up when we saw the hospital. The air was heavy and sad around this place, and I hated it. We all sighed, walking into the building. We walked up to the desk, and the witch stared at Gracie for a minute.
"Oh! Sorry!" Tonks put Gracie down, then turned to the witch again.
"Arthur Weasley. These are his children and close friends." Sirius was all business, kind of gloomy even. She nodded, giving us the information we needed. We went straight up to his room, but only the Weasley's went inside. This is my fault. I attacked him. Me. He's in here because of me.
"Stop it Harry! I attacked him too! It wasn't your fault!" Gracie whispered, making me jump. "You were talking out loud." I nodded, pulling her into a hug. I kissed the top of her head, holding her as close as I could get her. "We're in this together!" She mumbled, keeping we voice low so that it was just the two of us.
I looked down at her with a small smile. "Why are you always the voice of reason?"
"I'm not. I just don't like it when you beat yourself up over something that's not your fault!" She smiled, kissing my cheek. "Come on. Lets go see him!" She grabbed my hand, pulling me into the emergency room. Molly was yelling at him because he decided to go the muggle route. Stitches. For a magical injury like that? My stitches didn't even work when I got cut by glass. They messed up and they ended up coming loose or something. I don't remember.
"Er, hi!" She muttered, stepping forward. Arthur looked at us and his eyes widened, then he smiled.
"Come here! Both of you!" We walked over hesitantly. I think we were afraid he was going to be mad. But he wasn't. He pulled us into a hug and kissed both of our heads repeatedly. We stepped back, smiling down at him. I wrapped my arms around her waist from behind, feeling her melt into me. I rested my chin on her shoulder and she put her hands on top of mine. Arthur smiled wider, which made me smile.
"What was that for?" Gracie frowned, looking confused. We all turned to him, because apparently it wasn't just her that was wondering. Molly even looked confused, and she always knows what he's talking about!
"For saving my life! If you two hadn't have had that dream, no one would have found me and I would have died right then and there. That's multiple Weasley's you've saved. Thank you!" She smiled, kissing his head.
"I appreciate it. And I know Harry does to, but I don't feel like I deserve it." She left my arms, sitting on the edge of the bed. "You wouldn't have needed saved if it weren't for me!" She started to cry while we all listened to her intently. "In that dream, I wasn't watching. It was like I was the snake. It felt like I was attacking you. I hated it and I couldn't stop it. I know I never left the bed, but it seemed so real. I'm sorry!" She cried silent tears, we all watched them slip down we face slowly while she hugged Arthur. I can't watch her like this. I sat down beside her, she sat up to look at me so I pulled her onto my lap, letting her curl into a ball while she cried.
I rocked her back and forth slowly, shushing her. "Gracie, it wasn't your fault. We couldn't have both been the snake."
"And there was only one!" Arthur piped up, patting her back slowly.
"We were both in the same mind set, meaning it was a mind trick. Don't worry love, it's going to stop. We start occulomency when school starts again, and everything will be okay. I promise." I whispered, still rocking her. Bill and Charlie groaned, glaring at me. I sighed, looking at them warily.
"What?"
"You make it so hard to be mad at you when you treat her like that! Bill ground through his teeth, running a hand through his hair. A few people chuckled, but I ignored the comment, turning back to Gracie. She's my priority, not making sure everyone loves me. If that were the case, the prophet wouldn't write the rubbish it does.
"Why would you be mad at Harry?" Molly asked, earning the interest of Lupin, Tonks, Maxie, and Arthur as well. Sirius and Nat smirked at me while Ginny and Hermione giggled furiously. I glared at them, my face turning red.
"Our dear sister forgot to lock the door to the bathroom this morning. Young Harry over here walked right in and got an eyeful!" Charlie snapped, sending me another glare. I groaned, shaking my head.
"It was an accident!" I grumbled, holding Gracie tighter. To my surprise, the adults all laughed, especially Sirius and Lupin.
"Remus, do you remember when James walked in on Lilly? You let him use the prefect bathroom and she was in there. But unlike Harry, James stayed to watch. Lilly was furious!"
"She didn't talk or look at him for three months!"
"And any time he saw her he would zone out, like he was picturing it all again. I remember that!" Arthur laughed, he and Molly wiping tears from their eyes. All of us were staring at them like they've got nuts.
"Should we check them into the fourth floor?" Gracie whispered, breaking through their laughter. Nat nodded gravely, eyeing Maxie and Sirius like she was checking for any small amount of sanity. I just shook my head, choosing to ignore that. Today is going to be a long day. Even longer for poor Mr. Weasley.
**************************
"Get up! Get up! Get up!" I jumped on Harry repeatedly, hopping up and down on the bed. It's the twins for Christmas and Arthur is coming home! He groaned, rolling over. "Harry Potter! Get up right now!" I hissed, sitting on his back. I begin bouncing up and down. "Get!" Bounce. "Up! Bounce. Over and over and over.
"No!" He reached behind him, grabbing me. I blinked and the next thing you know, I was pinned underneath him, laying on my back and he was smirking at me, eyes closed. I sighed, shaking my head. I squirmed, and squirmed, and squirmed, he groaned, his eyes opening. "Stop it!" He glared at me viciously. "It's too early for teasing!" I stopped moving.
"What?" Hello! Welcome to the land of the confused. I don't care how lame that sounds, I don't know what the heck he is talking about. Teasing? All I was, oh. Oh! Oh crap! I blushed, giving him a small smile.
"Sorry!"
"Uh huh. I'm sure you are!" He muttered, completely sarcastic. I rolled my eyes, flipping us over so I was on top. I bent down so I could whisper in his ear.
"I didn't mean to do that. But if you want to see teasing, I can show you teasing!" I whispered, pulling back to smirk at him. He groaned, shaking his head.
"Where the bloody hell did you learn how to do that?"
"Eh. Places!" I smiled, hopping up and skipping to the door, adding some sway to my hips. "Merry Christmas!" I waved, then closed the door behind me.
"Did I hear what I think I just heard?" Maxie wiggled her eyebrows, smirking. I giggled, nodding. "Where did you learn that? An what did to do to the poor boy?"
"I didn't mean to do anything! It was an accident, and then he made the teasing comment so I flipped us over, and whispered in his ear about how if he thought that was teasing I could show him teasing. And I learned it from you, Nat, and Tonks!" I shrugged, skipping down the hall.
"What?" She gaped, chasing me down the stairs. "I'm not a tease!"
Dad burst into laughter while I snorted, crossing my arms. "Please! I hear you two up there! We all do!"
