(everyone in the burrow is having breakfast to start the second last day of the holidays except rose who is frantic about packing)

Rose: (storms in with dead straight hair) where is MY hairbrush and can somebody tell me how to reverse this bloody stupid curse!

Hermione: rose language, (turns to Ron) it's your fault she talks like this.

Rose: you, (looks at Fred jr) you did this you blithering idiot.

James: oi rose don't spoil my birthday because you're mad.

Rose: sorry happy birthday, (still glaring at Fred jr) talk! I said talk you, idiot,

Fred jr: ok, ok, I was just being nice

Rose: how is this (points at hair) nice

Fred jr: early birthday present you always said you wanted straight hair like a princess

Rose: "thanks" but in case you haven't noticed I'm not five anymore and how can you remember things from when you were eight, I can't even remember things from last year

Albus: rose calm down and stop packing its just Hogwarts nothing special you can pack after lunch.

(everyone turns to Albus)

Harry: my own son is saying that. If I thought about Hogwarts that way, I would not be here now I'd be dead and you wouldn't be here either. Nothing would be the same. Half of these people would be dead fleur wouldn't have met Bill. Hogwarts was the best thing that ever happened to me… (Ginny shoots him an angry glare) …during my childhood. What I'm trying to say Albus is that I… make the most of this.

Albus: whatever

Harry: potters we are leaving

Lily: but…

Harry: no buts

Molly: oh harry just send him up to his room seriously

Harry: no molly we were just about to go anyway

(on the way to the car but harry walks ahead)

James: (muttering) thanks for ruining my birthday idiot

Albus: glad you liked the present stupid

Ginny: boys your dad might not be here but he is still upset what is with you Albus I thought you were excited this was happening. Going to Hogwarts and all

(After lunch Harry walks up to Albus' room and knocks)

Harry: can I come in

Albus: go away

Harry: coming in

Albus: ugh

Harry: thanks for the appreciative groan, anyway sorry for going over the top before

Albus: it's fine I deserved it

Harry: no you didn't, moving on I want to give you something before you go off to school, (hands over a blanket)

Albus: umm thanks… for the …

Harry: blanket, I know it doesn't look like much but it is the only thing I've got from my parents the rest of my stuff got blown to shreds years ago when … the thing happened. I understand if you don't want to keep it it's fine I just thought-

Albus: no dad you keep you seem like you want it more than anyone else.

Harry: well here's something from uncle Ron, a going away gift as well

(Harry walks out slightly disappointed and slips a parcel into Albus' suitcase without him noticing)

(opens up the small bag)

Albus: what in Merlin's name am I going to do with perfume maybe I should give it to lily I mean she's a girl and girls like perfume right.

(Albus walks down the corridor into his dad who is still holding the blanket and the perfume spills all over it)

Harry: admit Albus you know I can't wash this now I don't want it to burn up

Albus: sorry dad
