The summer

Chapter 1: The visit

Harry woke up with a start when he heard a crash from down stairs. He got out of bed, picked up his wand from his bedside table and went down stairs to see where the noise was coming from. Harry heard a grunt coming from Uncle Vernon's room as he was tiptoeing across the squeaky floor boards. Harry walked down the stairs carefully still in once he was down stairs he could her the tap turn on. He crept into the kitchen to see what was going on. All the boy could see was 2 dark figures one slightly taller than the other. He heard a chair tip over and the taller figure moved to turn the tap off. Then he heard a girl's voice.

"Honestly you're useless" the voice said to the next figure.

Harry slowly reached for the dimmer switch and slowly turned it on. The figures immerged from the darkness.

"Hermione? Ron? Is that you?" Harry asked with his wand pointing towards the figures. 'Stupid question Harry' he thought to himself 'Why would they be here? Plus Hermione wouldn't do anything that would get her into this much trouble'.

"Yeh mate it's us" Ron's voice came once the light had come on completely.

"What are you doing here?" Harry Queried.

"That is a very good question, Ron"

"Thanxs Mione, well basically Professor McGonagall said that the wards covering this place were cast by Dumbledore and that her is now dead, the wards no longer exist for you and is no longer safe here"

"Well put Ron" Hermione said surprised

"You sound surprised Hermione"

"Well I am….."

"Can you save this conversation which if I know you well enough will turn into an argument for later please? What do you mean for me?" Harry said quite stubbornly.

"The ward built on blood will still protect the Dursleys because you being here re news it but the magical ward made just for you is down". Hermione said desperately.

"Okay didn't understand a word of that but carry on" Harry said very confused.

"Ok, um... well we're travelling by portkey, and we are going to the Burrow" Ron replied.

"Right" Hermione said pulling something out of her pocket, it was a pen, "You know the drill Harry"

And with that said they all grabbed the pen and disappeared from the kitchen of 4 Privet Drive.
