Chapter 1: The Midnight Escape
In was turning out to be a miserable summer for Harry again. Dudley was still on his diet, which also meant Harry was in for the same treatment as last year. Harry wasn't completely aware of what was happening around him because he was still in a daze from Voldemort revival, which he had been forced into aiding into and he had to witness it.
He had received several letters from his friends, and Sirius. Hedwig has away for several days now, he had sent her away with a letter to Sirius but she had not returned yet, he wasn't worried. But with her away he felt lonely, as she was the only animal in the house that didn't filched at the sight of him. Then there was a tap taping at the window. Harry looked up to see a white owl outside, and then a grin appeared on Harry's face, it was Hedwig back. He went to the window and opens it to let Hedwig in, then he noticed with her there was a letter, it was from Dumbledore it read
Dear Harry
I have received a request from the Weasley family looking you to joining them on a trip to Ireland. I have said that it was ok as long as you are careful. Sirius is here with me; he says he will come along with you all for a while. I might actually met up with you lot in Ireland, I deserve a break.
Hope you enjoy your trip
Dumbledore.
Harry couldn't believe his luck. He was getting away from the Durselys this summer again. He couldn't wait till the Weasley write to ask him to join them on their trip to Ireland. Just then there was another tap at the window Harry gone to open it there was Pig, Ron's owl.
Hi
You are coming with us to Ireland. Hermione is coming to. This will be great fun. We will collect you tomorrow night, don't tell the Dursley, as dad doesn't want any trouble like last year. We come at midnight be ready and make sure there's no board at the fire.
See you,
Ron
This was even better than Harry fought it was going to be. This was to be his first holiday aboard, and all his friends are going to be there. He couldn't wait to see his friends again. He lay there in bed and couldn't get to sleep but he finally fell asleep.
He awoke early as usual from a roar from his aunt, "HARRY!!! GET OUT OF BED AND GET THE BREAKFAST MADE, NOW!!"
As Harry rushed out of bed thinking this will be the last day of the summer doing this, and they don't have a clue I'm leaving to night. The had day went by really slowly the Dursley did nothing but bosses him about he and making sure not to forget to shout at him for nothing. They were really lazy people. Harry had to spend hours cutting the lawn and weeding the garden but the thought of see Ron again kept him going.
At last it was mid night the Dursley knowing nothing where soundly asleep in there beds. He had taken the boarding off the fireplace and lighted a fire. He sat on the sofa waiting for the Weasleys to arrive. He had already packed all his belongings in his trunk and had carried the trunk down stairs. He sat for ten minutes waiting for the Weasleys, when they came they apologized for being late. "Sorry had to have a search before we left, to make sure no one was carrying anything harmful" Mr. Weasley said shooting a sharp glance at the twins.
"We better be going before the Dursleys realize I'm leaving." Harry said
" Yes we should," agreed Mr. Weasley, " right you two take his trunk, Ron your next"
Now there was only Harry and Mr. Weasley left at the house, "Before we go I want to make sure your ok, there has been a lot of rumors among the wizardry communities, and well I just want to before warm you" said Mr. Weasley
"Has Voldemort appeared much???" Mr. Weasley filched at the sound of Voldemort names, "Sorry, who-know-who."
"To be honest he hasn't been heard of since well you know," said Mr. Weasley, "but some of the death eaters are more active, but enough of this talk the rest will be worried about us"
Harry took some floo power and said "The Burrow" and with a pop he was in the Weasley Kitchen soon followed by Mr. Weasley.
Everyone was there, Mrs. Weasley, Ron, George, Fred, Percy, Ginny and Hermione all smiling at Harry. The only two that were missing was the two eldest Weasley Bill and Charlie who must have been away working.
Everyone greeted Harry. They all had a cup a tea and telling Harry about everything he had missed while he was at the Dursleys. Finally Mrs. Weasley said " I think it time we all went to bed it has been a long day." Harry was happy to be there with all his friends, this was the life.
