Part I

"We're moving to a muggle neighborhood for about a month or two." Arthur said.

"Um, OK Dad whatever you say!" Ginny Weasley said to her dad told her what they were going to do in 2 weeks. Ginny had just finished her fourth year at Hogwarts, and had just come home from Hogwarts for the summer holidays with a mad crush on her brother's best friend. Harry Potter, The-Boy-Who lived and the sweetest guy, she thought to herself.

Arthur had just some up with the crazy idea. To live like a muggle for a month or two, to see what it would be like to live with out magic, in a muggle environment, and survive. Crazy. His mind was set in 2 weeks they were going to move into a house. He had rented one for one month with an extended lease for an extra month just in case they would like to live there for an extra month the house was just the right size for all of them.

"Don't forget to pack you bags and, could you tell Ron our plans Ginny?" Mr. Weasley hollered at Ginny as she left the room.

"Sure dad, where are we moving to?" Ginny asked back.

"Number 3, Privet Drive."

"What city is that in?"

"Little Whining, Surrey."

"What a weird name," Ginny said as she left the room.

She walked up the long flight of stairs to Ron's room. Living without magic for a full month or more, how would she survive? Muggles do it somehow so, it had to be possible.

Hermione would be fascinated to do this she said to herself Oh, wait she lives like this never-mind," and, walked into Ron's room. "Hey Ron, guess whatwere doing in a couple weeks?"

"What," he was not in a good mood for his sister's stupid questions. He hated when she did that to him. His expression showed that he was a little angry with her for what she had said.

Ginny had noticed the sudden exchange of emotions on Ron's face. Ginny said. "Dad, said that we were moving into a muggle neighborhood to live and act like muggles. It sounds so strange, weird, but oh so cool also."

Ron's facial expression changed to a sudden surprise on his face, as he said, "Whoa, that's um so dad like. Where are we moving to anyway?"

"He rented a place call Number 3 Privet Drive. Sounds like a place were boring old people live if you ask me" Ginny replied.

"That kind of sounds like the street where Harry lives. I don't know for sure, but I just remember the name always sounding someplace old people live, probably not. That would be cool if he lived close, so that we could talk some sense into that cousin of his." Ron added in with a smile.

Ginny laughed, as she was walked out of the room, she said, "Dad said to pack everthing that you would need for a month or two that is not magic."

Arthur had decided to write letters to his sons that lived far away. He started the first letter to Bill.

Dear Bill,

How are things with you and your job at Gringotts?

The reason that I am writing to you is because that we Weasleys are moving away from the Burrow for a months time, to live, and act like muggles . I know what you must be thinking why? And the Answer is because I solely believe that it will be a challenge that we have not done. I believe that it will be fun and exciting at the same time.

Sincerely your father,

Arthur

He then wrote the same letter twice more to Charley.

Dear Charley,

How are things with you and your job in Romania?

The reason that I am writing to you is because that we Weasleys are moving away from the Burrow for a months time, to live, and act like muggles . I know what you must be thinking why? And the Answer is because I solely believe that it will be a challenge that we have not done. I believe that it will be fun and exciting at the same time.

Sincerely your father,

Arthur

He had decided to write the next letter was the hardest to write for it was to Percy and he had made up his mind if Percy wanted to makeup with him he would too Since he was his son.

To my third son,

I solely wish that we can make up our differences if you feel the same way then when you receive this letter apparate home. We desperately need to chat with each other and hopefully come to an understanding that we both desperately need. There is something very important that I need to tell you but only unless you are ready to chat about the fight we had last year.

Sincerely hopefully still your father,

Arthur

He tied Percy's letter to Errol, while borrowing Ron's Owl Pig he tied both Bill and Charley's letter told Errol, "Errol, take this letter straight to Percy," and Errol flu out the window to Percy's flat. He then turned to Pig and said, "Pig, take these letters to Bill and Charley," and with a hoot Pig flu out the window heading towards Bills flat.

At the Ministry, Percy was busy doing paperwork when he noticed as Errol flu into his office window. He noticed that Errol had a note for him and he took it off of his talon, and read it.

To my third son,

Third son, so that's what he thinks of me now. Not even putting my name into the letter. Percy thought as he read on.

I solely wish that we can make up our differences if you feel the same way then when you receive this letter apparate home. We desperately need to chat with each other and hopefully come to an understanding that we both desperately need. There is something very important that I need to tell you but only unless you are ready to have chat about the fight we had last year.

Sincerely hopefully still your father,

Arthur

Percy had felt guilty of all the things that had happened the past year that he had decided to make up with his family especially his father. So without a second thought, he apperated to the Burrow.

Molly was outside when she heard the familiar pop of apperation, she turned around and noticed that Percy stood right in front of her. In her motherly way she walked over to him to give him a very big hug.

But he stopped her by saying, "Mother..." the way that he had said it sent shivers up and down her spine. "I'm sorry." And then she enveloped him into a big hug. The hug was abruptly aborted when they heard a cough from behind. Percy turned and saw that his father stood there. "Fat..." He had started to say.

But, his father had interrupted him, by saying, "Percy... We need to clarify some things. Come into the house so that we can talk." So Percy followed his father into the house and into the kitchen, neither saying a word to each other while they walked the short distance to the kitchen, and sat down at the kitchen table.

Arthur said, "Percy, we are moving, I strongly believe that we should make up our differences."

Percy just sat there and stared straight at his father, Did he just say that the family is moving, but why? "Father, I want to tell you how sorry I was and it was wrong, and unjust of me to act the way I did especially for what I had done to this family. Could you ever forgive me?" And with that said, Percy started to cry.

Arthur had looked at Percy and said, picking up his head to look at him straight in the face he said, "Yes. If you can forgive me for all the bad things that I said to you? Of course you would also have to apologize to the other family members including Harry and Hermione."

"Yes, father, I know I have a lot of people to apologize to." And so with that said, Percy and Arthur hugged in a father son way.

"Father, how come you're moving?"

At that particular moment Bill and Charley appeared in the living room dressed in long pants and shirts both carrying a satchel of their own. Arthur walked into the living room and saw his two older sons, and he smiled.

"Father, why are you moving?" Bill said.

"And why in a muggle neighborhood?" Charley finished.

"Come into the kitchen all will be explained." So the two boys followed Arthur into the kitchen. When they entered they noticed that Percy was sitting at the kitchen table.

"What's he doing here?" They both said, anger registering on their faces looking at their younger brother.

Percy looked at his two older brothers with tears still in his eyes. The two older brothers noticed that he had been crying, but why? Could he have had a change of heart? They had thought together.

Bill and Charley walked over to the table and sat down.

Percy said, "I know I have been very childish over the last year, and I would really like to make amends for the mistakes that I have made, but I know that it would be very hard for you to forgive me, but I am asking for your forgiveness if you are willing to take it." Percy then started to cry again.

"I know it was hard for you to say that, therefore I for one forgive you." Bill had said.

"And me too." Charley said.

Percy stared at both brothers and started to smile when they said that. They enveloped him into a group hug.

Just then George and Fred decided to pay their family a visit, and had apparate into the kitchen, where they noticed that his two older brothers were hugging someone, but they could not see who they were hugging.

When the hug was over they had a big surprise on their face on who they were hugging... it was Percy.

For the next couple of weeks, the whole Weasley Family had helped the family pack up everything into boxes, some that had number 3 privet Drive and some of the boxes were marked 'for storage' while everything was packed they were set for the adventure of a life time. Even the Weasleys that lived far from home were going to try to live like muggles when they visited their parents in Little Whining, Surrey. It was an adventure and the Weasley's cherished adventure.

It had taken them all about the two weeks to pack everything up without using magic. "If you have to live like a muggle then you should start acting like one right away." Arthur had said over and over for the last two weeks.

All of the Weasleys had forgiven Percy, and have even bonded even more to him now that he had had the guts to make up with his family which was quit hard to do even for him.

The next few weeks seemed to go by in a heartbeat. With Ron had decided not to tell Harry what they were doing, to not get his hopes up. Next thing Ginny knew was that Ron, Mrs. Weasley, Mr. Weasley, and herself left the burrow and were now driving to their new home of number 3 Privet Drive, in Little Whining, Surrey, and were totally ready for a month without magic. Ginny was day dreaming about all the things she wanted to do such as soccer, internet.
