Chapter 5
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Ron was stunned, the boy with green hair had just spoken about Harry getting abused like he was talking about the weather.

\'What has my friend turned into over the short summer away from me?\" Ron thought as he walked forward and picked up the crystal desert glasses and glared at Malfoy, all three of them just to make himself feel better about doing it.

\"How about you boys go out. Narsissa and Patunia are going to go out shopping. Why don\'t you three do the same? I\'m sure Vernon will give you money or a.what is that plastic thing you muggles carry with you all the time.a credit card? Yes that\'s it.\"

Lucius smiled at Harry and turned to face Vernon. The heavier blond nodded and reached into his wallet. Pulling out a platinum visa, Vernon gave Harry, Duddly, and Piers a look.

\"Now boys, I don\'t want this maxed out like last time. No more than twelve thousand dollars, do I make lf clf clear?\"

Harry and Duddly nodded as Piers took the rectangular plastic card out of Vernon\'s hand and smiled.

Lucius nodded at Draco. \"Draco, I am putting the same spending limit on you. It wouldn\'t be fair to the others for you to spend more than them.\"

Draco nodded and stood. The other three followed and soon all four boys were out of the restaurant and walking down the street. Harry having completely forgotten about meeting with Ron and focusing on the rest of the day ahead.

Ron sighed as he walked out of \'The Two Sisters\', He had been yelled at, put on bussing duty, and what was worse, he had heard Vernon say that Harry and the other two had a twelve thousand dollars to spend. What could be worse?

Ron had always thought that Harry was like him in a way. His friend had never had money before and was always unsure of spending it. But with that much money to throw around, Ron was certain his dark haired friend was going to go and the all of the most expensive supplies, not to mention the newest racing broom, the \'Electric Shock\'. Ron was sure that he would have no chance of ever getting on the house team now.

Ron recalled the look of his friend and the other boys. He remembered Harry, the green haired boy that Ron heard was called Piers, and Malfoy all had long to longer hair. Only Duddly had descent hair, short and well kept.

In Ron\'s opinion, a guy should never have hair longer the their ears. It just wasn\'t right. Only girls should have long hair.

\'Girls and Queers.\' Ron mussed, The red head hated homosexuals. He had lost touch with all of his brothers except Percy because of this fact.

By seventh year, Fred and Gorge had realized their love for one another and announced their binding ceremony at Christmas break. It was the rare time that all the Weasly\'s had been home for the holidays, and the two boys took advantage of it.

*Flash Back*

\"Boys! Dinner!\"

At Mrs. Weasly\'s call, seven pairs of feet clattered down the well-worn staircase. Bill and Charley walked calmly though the double wide doorway, followed by Harry with Ginny at his heels talking about how much she couldn\'t wait to try out for the position of chaser in her fifth year. Ron and Hermoine came in next holding hands and smiling at Mrs. Weasly as they sat at the extended table and Hermoine drew Ginny\'s attention away from Harry with a mention of Neville Longbottom.

Fred and Gorge entered and sat next to Harry while Percy ran into the wall right next to the door frame because he had his nose stuffed in a book on past foreign ministers of the ministry. Arthur Weasly came and steered his son into the kitchen and sat him down at the table before he went over to his wife and gave her a kiss.

\"Ok everyone, take hands. We will let Percy lead us in prayer.Percy.Percy dear.Percy put that book down, take someone\'s hand, and lead us in a prayer!\"

Percy didn\'t even blink at his mother\'s voice as he continued to read, only a tap on his shoulder from Gorge snapped him out of his book-induced trance.

\"What? Huh? Oh,\" Setting his book off to the side, the boy took his siblings hands and asked the lord to bless the food Mrs. Weasly had prepared. Once he was done and the \'Amen\' had been said, Percy picked up his book and started reading again.

Mrs. Weasly shook her head and gave up on trying to include her son into the conversations. He was obviously going to ignore everything around him. The red headed woman smiled at the extended family. She was so happy to everyone home for the holidays that she failed to notice Fred and Gorge giving each other small glances and secret smiles.

Harry didn\'t miss them however and was waiting for them to stand up any moment and tell their family how they felt about one another.

Ron noticed his brothers were being more quite than usual, but just figured they were up to more of their pranks, and left it at that. Never letting it enter his mind that his family might have anything more than a platonic relationship with one another.
It was the next day, however, that they decided to tell their secret. It was as good a day as any, The day was Christmas, Mrs. Weasly gottgotten them all up early to go to church. Dressed in their finest, The entire Weasly clan plus two, plied into three cars and drove off to thank the lord for the amazing day. All of them took up four a haa half pews and when they left, it was like the parting or the Red Sea.

When they got home, everyone was pleased to see the piles of brightly wrapped gifts of all shapes, sizes, and material. Everyone had something to open, even Crookshanks.

Everyone got a sweater with the first letter of his or her names on the front. Fred and Gorge traded their blue and purple sweaters as per tradition and confused Mrs. Weasly to no end. Ron, of course, got a maroon sweater again and complained about it constantly, but still put it on.

Hermoine and Ginny got pink sweaters with light blue letters on the front, Harry got a green sweater with a black and silver \'H\' on it. When Ron asked his mom about the coloring, she replied that it was all that was left.

Percy halted his reading long enough to kiss his mother\'s cheek and put on his orange and gold sweater, before tuning out the world again.

Harry had read the book that Percy was presently absorbing and memorizing word for word. Personally he didn\'t think it was an accurate description of the former ministers, and thought it was very unhelpful in the views of their lives before and after the great wars that they lived through. The book was just made to glorify the position when all it really was, was a desk job full of paper work and piles of stupid rules.

But Harry stopped himself ftelltelling Percy this, for he was sure if he did that if he did, that Percy would bring up the fact with everyone over dinner loudly and then ask numerous questions over Harry\'s views that Harry really didn\'t want to talk about.

Not only was Harry sure that Hermoine would jump into the conversatiout hut he was positive that she would question him about why he never applied himself to his work or studied if he had time to read this and many other books that had nothing to do with their curriculum.

Harry really didn\'t want to tell his friends that he was probably the second to top student in Hogwarts, and if he ~ really ~ tried he could have the highest scores in school. It would rise to many expectations.

From Ron, Harry received a teal mirror that talked to you when you stood in front of it. Ron said it was just a standard wizarding mirror, but Harry was happy with it anyways.

Hermoine got him a book called \'Advanced Potions for the Potions inclined\'. She told him that she knew he wasn\'t all that bad in potions and when he was ready, he should give these a try. Harry didn\'t have the heart to tell her that he already had this book and could make all of the potions perfectly, so he thanked her and placed the book next to Ron\'s mirror.

Ginny got him a book as well, but hers was called \'Love charms and How to perfect them\'. Harry noted that the book was already read quite thoroughly and was pretty sure Ginny wasn\'t the first person to buy or read the book. So thanking her and ignoring the way she turned red, Harry placed the book on top of Hermoine\'s.

Harry got a lot more presents and gave out lots as well. The only people Harry didn\'t get a present from were the twins, but Harry figured they had a reason and left it at that.

Fred and Gorge looked at each other and stood up clearing their throats and waiting for everyone to look their way.

\"Excuse us, we have an announcement to make.\"

Gorge looked around at his family, he marveled at how his few words had gotten more attention than when Percy got his Head Boy letter. Fred took his chosen life mate\'s hand and smiled at him. Taking in a deep breath and saying in as clear and loud a voice as he could, Fred readied himself for the reaction.

\"Gorge and I wish to bind.\"

The first thing that happened was that Percy\'s book dropped from his hands and his jaw dropped down as far as it would go.

Mrs. Weasly started screaming at them about pulling such a stunt.

\".And on Christmas! You boys really have a flare for the dramatic! How dare you say such a thing! Do you know what would happen if I didn\'t know that you were joking! I swear! If you were telling the truth...I\'d.I\'d.Disown you!\"

On and on she raged until she realized that they weren\'t smiling. They weren\'t saying that it was a joke. She noticed that they still had their hands clasped together, and then it hit her. Her sons were gay, not only were they gay, but they wanted each other. She couldn\'t believe it, no she refused to believe it. Mrs. Weasly\'s eyes rolled into the back of her head and she fainted.

Mr. Weasly\'s face grew red. He looked like he was about to explode, and he did.in a way.

\"How could you do this to the family! After all that we\'ve put up from you two! Sixteen years of food that we struggled to provide, sixteen years of cloths that we saved money for months to make sure you had! How could you just.disgrace on like this? How could you do this to your brother and sister? They still have to go through two to three more years of school. Do you know how they will be treated? How long has this been going on?\"

The two boys stood in front of the fireplace and looked at the floor, not moving, not speaking, just staring.

Mr. Weasly gritted his teeth and glared at the boys. \"How, Long!\"

\"Sense our fifth year.\"

Fred answered timidly, his voice barely above a whisper.

\"Did you do anything.unnatural in our house?\"

Gorgeok hok his head, clutching his twin\'s hand like a lifeline.

Mr. Weasly nodded and held his wife in his arms. \" Good at least we don\'t have to-\"

But he was cut off before he could finish his statement died in his throat at Gorge\'s next words.

\"It wasn\'t unnatural to us.\"

Arthur Weasly roared with those words. His face turned a shade of purple that by all physics shouldn\'t be humanly possible, and screamed at the boys in his living room.

\"Out, Out, I want you OUT! I never want to see you again! You are no longer part of this family! Never call us as own awn again.\"

Fred and Gorge nodded and turned to leave. They had resolved yesterday that if this were the path played out, they wouldn\'t cry, they wouldn\'t beg they would just leave. Turning, the boys walked over to the stairs.

\"What do you think you are doing?\"

It was Ron\'s voice that made them stop. Fred turned slightly and gazed at his brother for a moment before answering.

\"We are going to get our things. Seeing as how we are no longer welcome in this house.\"

Ron glared at the two red heads he used to call brothers. \"Go then, get your filthy belongings and get out, leave nothing behind, I don\'t want to remember any part of either of you.\"

With that Ron returned to the waiting arms of his girlfriend and glared at the two boys. Hermoine did the same, and the two turned their backs and walked away from the identical boys.

When they returned Bill and Charlie were standing and walking towards the stairs as well. When Ron told them what he had already told the twins, Charlie smacked him and Bill \'Accio\'ed their belongings down.

\"If that is how this family views things, then I guess we don\'t have a place here either. I have a vary nice pureblood waiting for me back in Libya waiting for me.\"

Charlie nodded and picked up his bag. Slinging it over his shoulder, he glared at his younger brother.

\"I agree with Bill. I also have someone waiting for back home as well. I am glad I told him to visit his family instead of coming here and meeting all of you. At least this way I get to leave of my own free will instead of getting kicked out.\"

Harry wished he could get up and do the same, but he didn\'t have anywhere else to go. He could probably go with the twins to Lee Jordan\'s house, but two is quite enough. They wouldn\'t want three. So he stayed silent.

When Bill and Charlie looked his way their eyes flashed, asking for him to come along, but when Harry sighed and shook his head they seemed to understand.

Bill side std hid his shocked brother and kneeled down in front of Harry. He whispered softly in his ear.

\"We understand. When you are ready to tell them, let all of us know. You will always have a place with us. I promise. No matter what.\"

Harry thanked him and promised to keep them posted on the goings on at Hogwarts and beyond.

Charlie smiled at Harry and wished him well before their brothers came down the stairs once more. This time dragging multiple trunks, bags, and random boxes.

Bill shrunk them all and put everything in a small pouch before placing a hand on Fred\'s shoulder and steering them out.

\"Wait!\"

Harry\'s voice rang through out the silent house and the four red heads lookeck ack at him. Harry pulled out a long and simi-wide black velvet box and handed it to Gorge.

\"Open it when you get someplace you know you are welcome for who you are.\"

And with that Harry walked up stairs and didn\'t come down for the rest of the holidays. Ron didn\'t talk to him and Hermoine refused to look at him. It was a lonely week for Harry.

*End Flash Back*

Ron looked down at his muggle watch and sighed. It had been forty-five minuets scene he had seen Harry and the others walk out of the restaurant and he had been waiting for Harry for longer than that. It was now obvious to him that Harry was not going to meet him, so he walked off and decided to go and see what the upper class shops were selling for \'back to school\' wear. Ron knew he couldn\'t afford anything in the stores, but it was still nice to look.

It took the red head twenty minuets to get to the richer part of London, but he made it and was looking into the window of a store called \'Gucci\', when he saw four particular boys watching a lean brunette modeling a coal sweater.

Ron saw red, walking into the store he intended to give the longhaired boys a piece of his brash mind. When he got close enough to hear their conversation, he decided that easy dropping was a more interesting and informative past time then yelling at them and getting kicked out.

Harry laughed as Duddly tilted his head to the side when the model in front of them turned around to show off the fit of the low ridding pants he was wearing.

\"You know Duddly-kinns, Peirs might get jealous of you ogling other guys butts.\"

Peirs shook his head and hugged Duddly tighter to him. \" Nope, not really, because I know that he knows that if he left me mak make his life a living hell. But if we both wanted a third party I\'m sure we could work something out.\"

Peirs gave Draco a lingering look that made the pale boy blush even though he was trying to pretend to not pay attention them.

\"Would you boys like to see anything else?\" asked a dark haired sales attendant. She was dressed in a black skirt that reached her knees and a white blouse with a ruffled collar and flared sleeves. Black high heel adorned her feet and made her hold herself in a more upright manner.

\"Actually Sasha, I think we know what we want. Would you please bring the album over.\"

The woman nodded at Harry\'s words and quickly retrieved a large black binder that was neatly organized with dividers and colored tabs telling what was in each section.

Harry, Duddly, Peirs, and Draco told the woman what they wanted and when they wanted them by. Harry told her that their measurements had not changed sense the last time they had been in, but she insisted on taking them again to make sure.

When that was all complete and the were a couple thousand dollars lighter, Duddly piped up with something about wanting some new jeans and they all headed off.

\"I know of a store. It\'s kind of out of the way, but what about Bobby Brooks?\"

Duddly grinned at Draco and nodded and Harry smiled, but Peirs frowned and shook his head.

\"But I like Blass jeans better.\"

They all thought for a moment before Duddly suggested they visit them both. Draco liked this idea and Harry hailed a taxi. They were off to perches jeans.

An hour and several bags of denim items later, The boys were two thousand from their limit. Peirs looked at all of their stuff and laughed. Not only did they have bags, they had boxes, sacks, and book bags full of frivolous things as well.

Harry rolled his eyes at the green haired blond and sighed. \"Now what?\"

Draco looked around and noticed a leather company across the street from where they were standing. Quickly pointing it out, the boys all giggled as they ran across the street and entered the heavenly smelling shop.

The store attendants took their burdens and followed them around as the boys marveled at everything. \'Ooo\'ing and \'ahhh\'ing was frequently heard from the browsing boys until Peirs saw the perfect thing to blow the rest of their money on.

\"Harry! Duddly! Draco! Come see this!\"

Said hur hurried over and gasped when they saw what Peirs was staring at.

Hanging in a display case were three of the most beautiful black butter leather coats ever made. Harry quickly called someone with free hands over and asked him if there was a fourth one and if they could put a design on the arm.

The man said that there was not a fourth one and that it would take months and a lot of money to make another to match the three already made.

\"Well fancy that, we just happen to have a lot of money. Now, we want a fourth jacket made and we want all of them with silver snakes curled around the right sleeve.\"

Peirs loved telling people what to do. And when the man in front of him stepped back and nodded, Peirs practically beamed with happiness.

\"We also want our names on them in silthrethread work on the backs.\" Duddly added smiling at his boyfriend.

Draco and Harry were calculating out what all this was going to cost and it turned out they were going to be seventeen thousand dollars over their limit. With some quick mental acrobatics on Harry\'s part, he turned to the attendant.

\"Make that a fourth and fifth jacket. One of them a size larger than what these are. The names are to be Harry Potter, Draco Malfoy, Duddly Dursley, Peirs Polkis, and Lucius Malfoy.\"

Ok, yay! The fifth chapter is done to, wow.this is more writing than I\'ve done in quiet awhile. Thanks goes out to everyone that reviewed, Thanks Sunny!

I know I made the Weasly\'s out to be really bad, but it was a must for the story, I actually love Ron and his family, and I promise to make it up to them later, but it was needed for the plot to go as planned.

Every Designer I mentioned is real. Even Bobby Brooks. Forever immortalized in a John Cougar song.


Thank you all again. Your loyal author, Kat =^_^=

P.S. The chapter is two pages longer than the others. I did that because of the flash back. I will get them to Hogwarts eventually, I promise.
