"Are you sure you want to go back to the Dursleys for summer?" Parker asked Harry as she ate an apple.

Harry sighed,"Of course I don't but Dumbledore's very certain that I go there for 'my own good'."

"For your own good my ass." Parker rolled her eyes.

"I'd much rather stay with you two." Harry looked over at Ron and Erica.

"That'd be great." Ron nodded as he ate some chicken.

"Mhm." Erica nodded, though she didn't seem to be paying attention.

Parker hugged Erica's side,"You need to eat."

"I'm not hungry." She shook her head.

"Er." Parker sighed.

"What? I'm really not hungry." Erica assured her.

"Do I need to call-"

"Don't call my mum." Erica rested her head on the table

"I was gonna say Nev." Parker shrugged.

Erica's cheeks reddened,"He couldn't convince me to eat if he tried."

"Oh really?" Parker hummed.

"Really." Erica nodded.

"Nev- Parker went to shout.

Erica defiantly shoved a piece of bread in her mouth.

Parker smiled and gave her some more food,"I know you're upset. But thats why I'm here."

Erica mumbled something but it was undeciferable through the bread.

Parker rubbed her friends back and looked at Harry,"I don't think you should go back, run away or something."

"I'll help, I'll steal dad's car." Erica offered

Parker pointed,"We're all wanting to help."

Other than Hermione who was talking to Krum.

"Guys, you really don't have to-"

"I can talk to mum." Ron nodded.

"And I'll steal the car while she's distracted." Erica added.

"It's a plan." Parker clapped her hands.

"If you're all so sure." Harry sighed.

"Yay!" Parker clapped.

*********************************

Harry sighed, he'd packed up his bags, well, singular bag and gotten Hedwig ready. Was he really about to do this? Yes. He was finally going to be free from the Dursleys.

That's when he heard Dudley walking about, he could tell the difference. Trying to be as discreet as possible, he slowly creaked open the window.

Hedwig squeaked slightly.

"Shh." He held a finger over his mouth,"We need to be quiet, Hedwig."

Hedwig chirped and looked at him.

"We're leaving, Hedwig. Isn't that great?"

"Harry, do you always talk to yourself when you're alone?" Erica asked him

Harry looked out to the car at his window,"I'm talking to Hedwig."

"Well, you sound like a crazy person. Hop in." She chuckled.

Harry put Hedwig in the car before he climbed into the front seat and sat down.

"All aboard?" Erica looked around.

"Don't think have anything else." Harry sighed.

"Full speed ahead." She smirked, stepping on the peddle.

"Holy shi- Maybe a bit slower, Er?" Harry laughed.

"Hm... I'll think about it." Erica shrugged.

"Yeah- Thanks." Harry nodded.

"Not a problem." She smiled.

"And... Thanks for getting me out of there- Are you sure your parents don't mind?"

"Trust me, they won't." Erica assured him.

"Have... Have you even asked?"

"I... Asked Ron to." Erica bit her lip,"I kinda sped away as they were talking but I'm sure it's fine."

"Oh, come on Erica." Harry groaned.

"I panicked, okay?" Erica took her hands off the wheel and turned to look at him.

"Hands on the wheel!" He pointed.

"Oh, whoops!" Erica quickly grabbed the wheel again.

"Oh my god- This is worse than second year." He laughed.

"I'm a better driver than Ron." Erica shook her head.

"Debatable."

"Oh hush, I can turn this car back around." Erica threatened.

"No." Harry shut up.

"Good, now let's go." Erica continued

*********************************

"Oh come on mum." Ron groaned.

"No, Ron." She shook her head.

"You love Harry!"

"That doesn't mean we kidnap him."

"As I was saying, we just need to be quiet and Ron will keep mum busy." Erica whispered to Harry as they walked in.

"Where have you been Erica Weasley?!" Molly turned.

"Would you believe me if I said nowhere?" Erica fumbled with her hands.

"No." Molly pointed at her with a spoon.

"Uh... Look, Harry's here!" She attempted to distract her.

"Yes, hello Harry." Molly smiled at him before she turned back to Erica.

"I'm in trouble, aren't I?" Erica sighed.

"Indeed."

"But mum, we couldn't jusr leave him there!"

"You need to ask me these things first!" Molly sighed.

"I told Ron to." Erica pointed.

"Your brother is useless."

"Exactly." Erica sighed,"At least I got us here safely, completely unharmed."

"And your father's car? Where is it?" Molly crossed her arms.

Erica paused,"As I said, I got us here safely and completely unharmed."

"Yes, but the car?"

"I got us here safely and completely unharmed." Erica began to back away.

"Your father's car- Erica."

"Sorry, gotta go!" Erica ran upstairs.

Harry smiled at Molly before he ran after her.

"Fuck- She's mad at me." Erica sighed.

"It's your mum, she's always mad."

"But it's still scary!"

"Oi, she'll hear you." Ron walked into their room.

"I'm hiding." Erica shook her head, crawling under Ron's bed.

"Harry, mum will come round." Ron assured him.

"Well, now she's upset with you lot." Harry crossed his arms.

"Eh, it's fine." Ron shrugged.

"Is it?" Erica asked.

"She has the twins to be mad with."

"Exactly, but I did nearly crash dad's car." Erica sighed.

"You did?"

"Yeah.."

"You're a horrible driver."

"Way to make me feel good about myself guys, well done." Erica stuck her hand out and gave them a thumbs up.

"Thank you for bringing me to safety, Erica." Harry gave her a smile.

"I appreciate that."

*********************************

Meanwhile downstairs Molly sighed to Arthur, "The car will need to go to the garage again."

"Oh dear, what happened?" Arthur looked up at her.

"Our daughter."

"Please tell me she didn't set it on fire." Arthur closed his eyes.

"For once she didn't." Molly sighed.

"Then that's alright." Arthur nodded.

"She also brought Harry here."

"Oh, isn't that nice?" Arthur smiled.

"To stay."

"So? It's the summer, they're kids. Arthur shook his head.

"No, no. Hun." Molly sighed,"They want Harry to stay..forever."

"Forever... Now that is a long time." He nodded.

"His life, y'know... It isn't great."

"We should do something about that. Arthur agreed.

"For once I agree with you, hun." Molly sighed.

"Well then, let's get to it." Arthur stood up.

"What?" Molly looked at him.

"Aren't we going to do something about it?" Arthur asked.

"Well- Of course. But what are we going to do?"

"I, uh, didn't really think about that." He admitted.

Molly crossed her arms before she spoke,"What if... What if we adopted him?"

Arthur gasped,"That's a brilliant idea!"

"Is it?" Molly raised a brow.

"Of course it is."

"All we'd need to do is present our case to Dumbledore."

"Or... Maybe we don't do that" Arthur shrugged.

Molly gave him a look.

"What?"

"It's Professor Dumbledore, darling."

"Now, I don't mean this in a bad way, but he's sort of... I don't know, absentminded? When it comes to Harry's wellbeing, y'know?" Arthur fiddled with his hands.

"I see what you mean." Molly sighed.

"He doesn't really assist until the end, after all those kids risk their lives for him."

Molly held her husbands cheek,"I'll talk to the Ministry tomorrow, get some papers."

"Brilliant thinking, Mol." He smiled

*********************************

"Harry! Come down!" Molly shouted up,"And my children."

"How many do you require?" Erica asked.

"Youngest twins." Molly sighed.

"Ha! We're the favorites!" Erica pointed.

"Liar!" George shouted from top floor.

"Well, mum wants us and not you." She crossed her arms.

"Just get down!"

"Okay, I'm coming." Erica quickly gave in.

"Yeah." Ron came down with Harry, going straight to the kitchen.

"Well, what do you need?" Erica asked.

"Harry dear, we have something to tell you." Molly sighed.

"Oh, uh, what do you need to tell me?" He raised a brow.

"Would.. You like to become our son?

Harry's eyes widened,"Are... Are you serious?"

"Arthur and I spoke about what Erica and Ron had told us. And we... Came up with the idea of adopting you, only if you're comfortable with it." Molly explained.

Harry rubbed his eyes as he nodded.

"You would?" Molly smiled.

"Yes, yes I would."

"Oh Harry." Molly hummed and hugged him.

Harry tightly hugged her back.

"All we need is you to sign some papers then your ours. As long as you both don't mind?" Arthur asked.

"Does it look like I mind?" Erica asked.

"She has a point, mum." Ron chuckled.

"Well, we finally have someone who ain't a ginger in the family." Fred smirked from the stairs.

"Oh, we can change that, very easily." Erica rolled her eyes.

"You are not dying my hair." Harry pointed.

"I was just going to shove a pumpkin on your head but that would've worked." Erica nodded.

"You- Oh my god." Harry laughed.

"What were you expecting, bro?"

"Bro?" Harry smiled.

"You're my brother now, aren't you?" Erica leaned against him.

Harry looked at Erica, he finally had a family he could love.

"Boom, right again, 2 points to Erica." She chuckled.
