Some day, this will be a "Last.fm/NetFlix/Amazon for web fiction" (both original and fanfiction) where you can search across many different hosting sites or rate what you've read and get recommendations. However, life keeps throwing more urgent projects my way, so I don't know when it'll be ready.

"If you like being in one piece I suggest that you stop talking. I am in no mood for you to insult my parents and my friends simply because of your archaic point of view. We respect it while we are guests in your home. You should reciprocate for Hermione now that you are in her home."

Molly had shrunk back, she had never felt such power from anyone before and it frightened her. The words spoken to her by this strange redhead were harsh but she had no counter to them. The revelation that the brunette was Hermione was shocking but as she actually looked at her, she recognised her youngest son's year mate.

Molly opened her mouth to speak again but Arthur cut her off. "Enough Molly. You are not helping. Hermione I do apologise for our behaviour. You have a lovely home."

"Thank you, Mr Weasley." Hermione replied. "And I do not believe you have anything to apologise for. Your wife on the other hand..."

"Yes of course. Who, may I ask is your other friend?"

"Harry Potter." Harry reintroduced himself dryly. "We've met before, a few times I believe."

"Indeed we have." Arthur chuckled. "Why are you here? You should be at your aunt and uncles."

"I chose to live somewhere I was wanted rather than somewhere I was hated." Harry shrugged. "I do not believe my aunt and uncle would have been happy having their nephew return as their niece. They would probably either kick me out or lock me in a cupboard again.

"Add to that the fact that my cousin would probably spend the entire time trying to feel me up and catch me naked. I wouldn't be surprised if he tried to do more." Harry explained.

"Why haven't you ever said this before?" Arthur looked appalled, especially at how casually Harry talked about it.

"No one has asked." Harry shrugged. "I've been told what to do and that I can't be as bad as I am making out but no one has ever actually asked me about it. Dumbledore even went as far as confunding Hermione so that she wouldn't question his decision."

"He wouldn't do that would he?"

"He did. Just before the end of term after I was attacked by Malfoy. I had to use the strongest Finite I could to counter it. Add to the fact that he expects me to trust him and his decisions without any explanation."
