《A Harry Potter Love Story: Gracie Style *Completed*》Chapter 4
Advertisement
"Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!" I prodded Harry's nose every time I said it. He groaned over and over. Hm. He's not getting up. Oh Natalyn!!! I crept across the hall where Natalyn was under the bed in fox form. "Hey, I need help. The boys won't get up!" She shifted back quickly.
"Oh yay! Can I put ice down their pants?" She said that way to eager....
"Um no. I was thinking something a little more, Fred and George style!" I said, grinning wickedly. She smiled brightly, yet evilly. Ooohhh, they're in for it now.
"Remember how you said there was boggart in one of the upstairs rooms?" I nodded quickly. "Well, if we could keep Ron away from it, it might turn into you when Harry gets here! Might! If not, well, that's pointless. But you know, it could work! That'd get him up!" I nodded again, going upstairs to set the boggart loose.
I had a hold of the door, waiting for him. "Harry! Harry! It's Gracie! She's in the drawing room!" Nat cried, shaking Harry. I heard footsteps running down the hall, so I let the door loose, hiding quickly so it wouldn't see me. The minute Harry was in the door, it showed me, dead in a puddle of blood. I'm surprised, shouldn't it be Voldemort?
"Sirius! Sirius!" Crap! Natalyn! Hop in any time here! Come on, come on!
"I'll get him!" THANK YOU SWEET BABY JESUS! I heard her run out the door and whispered voices in the hall, then Dad's booming laugh. He walked in the room and stepped in front of Harry, the boggart didn't change though? I saw a flicker of sadness cross his eyes, and then I turned into a clown. Meanie! Harry, however, looked sillier than I did. Oh and confused.
"Gracie!" He yelled, looking mad. Why is he mad at me? What did I do? Other than open the door. He stomped out the door, and I could here him going to my room. Dad looked around here, knowing I was still in here.
"Move!" He laughed as I took off out the door, heading for the kitchen. I poured a bowl of cereal quick, sitting on a stool. "No one saw anything! I've been sitting here the whole time!" I warned, glaring at each of them. The twins laughed, Molly and Arthur rolled their eyes, and Uncle Lupin passed me my Hogwarts letter.
As Harry came into the kitchen, I shoved a bite into my mouth, examining my letter. "Gracie! Don't even try to play innocent! I know you helped Natalyn!" He came up to me with a smirk, placing a hand either side of me and trapping me against the table. I pushed forward, he wants to invade my space, I'll invade his.

"Got any proof Potter?" I smirked, grabbing the bottom of his shirt in my hands, pulling him closer. I heard Molly gasping behind me, but Harry just kept staring at me. It was kind of intimidating.
"No. But I bet, just bet, that Natalyn would be willing to rat you out, for the right price!"
"But Harry, there's nothing to rat me out on. Do I really seem like I would be that guilty?" I asked, batting my eyes I his direction. He closed his eyes tightly, avoiding me.
"You helped her!" He whispered, glaring at me. I smirked, shaking my head. He closed his eyes again, clenching his jaw.
"I had nothing to do with that boggart!" I pushed on my tip toes so I could whisper in his ear.
"Who said anything about a boggart?" He pulled back, smirking at me. My face faltered. "Busted!" The twins roared their laughter, and everyone else started chuckling. I turned back around to finish my cereal, scowling.
"Yeah yeah yeah. What are you gonna do? Punish me?" I grumbled, taking another bite of food.
"Maybe!" He teased, sitting beside me and reaching for a bowl. I rolled my eyes, glaring at the food in front of me. How could I be so stupid! I blew my own cover! That's a rookie mistake, no, it's not even a rookie mistake. That's something only Ron would do! Maybe Hermione.
"Don't be to hard on yourself Gracie. Your dad does the same thing!" Uncle Lupin chuckled, right as Dad walked through the door. He turned to me in confusion.
"I do what?"
"Harry just seduced Gracie into telling him she helped Natalyn with that boggart!" He sniggered, putting his bowl in the sink.
"I/he did not seduce me/her!" We yelled simultaneously, blushes making an appearance on both our faces. "If anything she tried to seduce me!" Harry muttered, taking a bite of his food.
"Did you?" The question was pointed at me, but I just smirked at Fred and George for a minute.
"Not really. I was once told I have pretty eyes, and to use them to my advantage!" I giggled, hopping up to put my bowl in the sink. Dad chuckled, talking about how I sound like Lilly. Yay!
Ten minutes later, I was skipping through the house singing. "My lip gloss be poppin!
My lip gloss be cool!
All the boys keep stopping
They chase me after school!"
"Do you even wear lip gloss?" Ron groaned, walking past me in the hall. I stopped to think.
"Sometimes!"
"You've lived with her for twelve years, and you don't know that? What do you know about your 'sister?'" Ginny teased, making Ron scowl.

"Whatcha know bout me, whatcha whatcha whatcha know bout me?" I sang, giggling. He rolled his eyes and brushed past me, making Ginny and I laugh. I started to walk away when I heard her scream. I spun around so fast it would make a vampire proud! I wonder if they really are sparkly! Like in the muggle movie Mione watches!
"Th-there's a fox in the bathroom!" I groaned, watching Natalyn back up against the wall, making some weird noise. Ginny took off down the stairs screaming.
"When they come back, pretend to put up a fight, kay?" She nodded at my whispered words. They all came rushing upstairs, the maurders more worried than the rest. I lunged for Phantom, who scurried across the room. She ended up under the sink, where I tried to grab her again, she snapped at my hand.
"Be careful Gracelyn!" I ignored whoever it was. Nat made a run for it, so I grabbed her tale, letting her swing around trying to bite me. But I held her out at arms length, letting her flip and twist.
"I'll carry it out to the woods, Natalyn's at the park, I'll bring her back on my way through!" I said, walking towards the door. They parted like the Red Sea. Once we were safely out the house, I started in on her. "Way to go Ronald!" I hissed, she actually did bite me that time. "Ouch!"
Stupid sniggering fox. Go stick a straw in a juice box and suck! When the Weasley's leave for vacation, and we can shift whenever we want, I'm going to turn wolf and eat her tail!
We made it to the woods so I dropped her. She shifted back immediately. "Ronald?!" She glared, crossing her arms. I rolled my eyes, leaning against a tree.
"Why didn't you come out here to shift?"
"I was on my way! The bathroom has a window with a tree outside. I was going to open the window and jump of the tree. How was I supposed to know the lock on the bathroom door was broken?"
"Whatever dork. Lets go! Our Hogwarts letters are here!" She stood up and we made out way back to the house. About half way there, we tried for conversation.
"So, was Harry mad?"
"Well, he stomped into the kitchen and trapped me agains the table. So I played stupid. I pushed myself against him and used my eyes. It would have worked too, but I said I had nothing to do with the boggart. Blew my own cover!" I grumbled, still upset over that detail. She started laughing as we pushed open the back door.
"Did you get rid of it?" Everyone was in the kitchen, staring at the door we just walked through. Kind of caught me off guard. 'We're walking, we're walking, BOOM! Everyone is staring at you!'
"Uh yeah. She's in the woods. I found out what happened too!" I said, turning to Natalyn with a glare. She managed to look sorry, even winced a little.
"When I was getting ready this morning I was kind of hot so I opened the window. There's a tree right outside. I'm really sorry guys!" They all nodded, smiling at her.
"Lets go get you ready Gracie!" Hermione clapped her hands, stepping forward. I looked down, oops. I was still wearing what I wore yesterday. But it does not look as cute! I nodded, running upstairs. "Skirt or shirts, we're all going to the park today?"
"Uhhh, shorts!" They gave me a pair of jean shorts, my converse of course, and a t-shirt. We left my hair straight with a little eyeliner. "Ready?" They all nodded. I threw the door open to see the boys leaning against the wall.
"You guys ready yet?" Ron asked, sounding like he's been waiting forever. Twit. Anyways, Natalyn thumped him on the back of the head, stepping towards Fred. Mione rolled her eyes, but moved to stand by Ron. Ginny looked sad, like she didn't have anyone to go with. I feel so bad! She needs a boyfriend. Wait, no. She's my little sister. No boyfriends! Okay just no, I'm going to be the good big sister who doesn't care into you turn into some scarlet woman. Yeah. That'll work. And if he hurts her I'll cut his... Thingy off.
"You guys go ahead! I want to talk to Gracie!" Harry pushed off the wall, wrapping his arm around my waist. Natalyn smirked, winking at me, but the other girls giggled, and of course my brothers glared at me. When they were all gone, he pulled me into my room with a smile. He pushed me up against the door, a hand on either side of my head, just like this morning. Except, I failed again, I looked into his eyes. His eyes are so beautiful!
"That wasn't funny you know. I thought you were really hurt!" His voice was a whisper, nothing more and nothing less. It had my heart pounding in my chest.
"I-I'm sorry! Anything I can do to make it better?"
"Maybe!" He smirked, leaning his head towards mine. I started giggling, but then he kissed me. The park can wait....

Same Crap, Different World
A young man from early 21st century wakes up in a different world. This world is like a typical setting of an fantasy isekai novel. But it is also not. There is magic, alchemy, magical creatures, different non-human races, peasants and nobles, demons and dragons. But there is also politics, persecution, supremacism of every kind, entitlement, slavery and other unpleasant human tendencies. In short, this new world does not differ much from his old one. However, besides him, there may be others who have made such a strange trip, and awakened into this new world. There certainly have been others, in the past. But more than people and other living things, there have been items. All sorts of items, which are regarded as otherworldly artifacts with unknown danger and power. And he himself is an artifact as well, albeit a living one. Therefore he has use for the powers that be. He is also given a role and expectations to fulfill, to hide his real value. And in all that he still has to make sense of what has happened, what is happening, and find a way back, if possible. Author's note: I write this project mostly in (except chapter 1) in 60-100 page (40,000-70,000 word) chapters, edit them as such and later cut them down for publishing into 7-11 page segments (depending on natural breaks in the flow). Therefore, each chapter may be divided into 10-15 subchapters.
