Friendship and Ambition

The next few years flew by faster than Harry could have anticipated, Harry with the help of potions and the house elves food was now growing at a perfectly healthy rate. He kept himself thin by running, he exercised a bit but not much as he was still quite young.

He practised spells, potions, animagus transformations, read books, spent time with the animals and even learnt different types of dance. That part was so he could keep fit and impress Ginny, mostly the second half. And when he wasn't writing or sending potions to Sirius using his Phoenix which he named Flame, he was having the house elves drop him off into Ginny's room whenever possible.

Ginny was also quite impressed, Harry had taught her so much and felt like she could at the very least beat Ron in a fight, magical or otherwise. She was also impressed by Harry, he was lean but muscular and kept getting stronger every meeting.

She knew he was holding back with her and she couldn't blame him, he was just too strong. Eventually they told Bill, Charlie and the twins. They seemed okay with it, they didn't bother giving Harry the 'don't hurt my sister talk'. Probably because they knew they couldn't do anything any way.

Harry visited nearly every day and only didn't when he absolutely couldn't. Soon came the day of the Hogwarts letter's, Harry's house elves intercepted his letter before it got to the house and they checked it for tracking charms. After removing them, they brought the letter back, Harry read the list and went to Diagon alley. He instructed the elves to get his stuff while he went to the wand shop and got his wand, the owner saw right through his glamour's and had him try about fifty wands before settling on one.

He then told Harry about you-know-who having the wands brother, Harry left and went to Gringotts and visited the founder's vaults like Merlin told him to do so on his eleventh birthday.

From Rowena's he found four wand holsters that turned invisible and couldn't be charmed. Once they were worn then only that person who put them on could remove them or remove a wand from them. He put two of them on and decided to leave two for Ginny.

In Slytherin's vault he found two knives and leg holsters, he put the knives in the holsters and wrapped them around his thighs. They also became invisible and were unable to be detected magically or otherwise, Hufflepuffs vault left him with some very rare potions which he had the elves put take to his home.

Gryffindor's had two wands, apparently they belonged to Merlin and his wife. Harry took the wands and placed Merlin's in his holster, he put it in his spare holster. And kept the other one for Ginny, he'd give it to her when he saw her at the train. He and Ginny were both thrilled when they found out she'd be starting Hogwarts a year early, apparently she had gotten so strong that it was recommended she go. Harry still insists he had nothing to do with that and in no way made it so she'd go to Hogwarts early.

The day arrived when Harry arrived at the station, he had put his trunk on his trolley along with his owl cage which held his new snowy white owl Hedwig. He liked Hedwig, she had gotten along with all of his friends elf or otherwise. He had gotten there a bit too early however and decided he'd kill the time until Ginny got there and make sure she noticed when he did.

He took out a radio which he had charmed to work in magical areas and it started playing music. Harry took this opportunity to bust out his dancing skills and earn some money which he could later convert to wizard money, Harry donned a hat that he had seen Michael Jackson wear and then performed a fitting tribute.

He was attracting quite a crowd, many people were leaving money on the napkin he had left on the ground. He was having fun, especially when a few familiar red heads walked up to the platform. Ginny and the twins rushed over to see what the commotion was about, while Molly was shouting something about muggles, obviously trying to get a particular persons attention. Harry ignored her and kept dancing.

Ginny was stunned, she knew Harry could dance but right now he was putting professionals to shame. Fred and George seemed to be trying not to laugh at Ginny's open jaw. Once Harry had finished he took his earned money and placed it in his hat before seeing if anyone else wanted to give him some money. He got quite a lot, even a five pound note, once the crowd had dispersed he turned to Ginny and extended his hat.

"Harry I don't have any money" Ginny apologised.

"I'll accept kisses too" Harry leaned his cheek towards Ginny, although initially embarrassed by Harry and her brothers, she did kiss him on the cheek. Harry put his money into a bag which he put into his trunk, he then placed the hat on his head. The hat along with his hair should cover his scar, he and Ginny sneaked past her mother with the help of the twins, and found themselves a compartment. Harry put his hat in his trunk and sat down with Ginny opposite him.

"So" Ginny smiled "what was up with the dancing?"

"I was bored because I got here early and I figured there was nothing wrong with earning some money while I was here. Being honest I had to resist the urge to come in disguise, I even spent the last few days trying to hide my power so no one realises how strong I am. I've barley managed to reduce it to above average but it'll do for now. I expect to be the best in all practical classes at least, I was going to pretend to be bad but that's just too much work."

"By the way Harry, did you have anything to do with me getting into Hogwarts a year early and don't give me some rubbish like you just trained me"

"Fine I did" Harry sighed "all I did was have my Flame, my Phoenix, flame me to the Hogwarts. As the heir to the founders and essentially Hogwarts itself, I can do certain things. Which include apparate without worry, and before you say something, I didn't do it just because you're my friend. I did it because you wanted it and I know you can handle it. Despite what some say, you are smart and strong enough to be in Hogwarts." Before Ginny could reply, a familiar red head opened the door.

"Do you mind? Everywhere else is fall" Ron asked nervously, fake nerves, Harry could see them a mile away
