Harry

Harry stared expectantly out his bedroom window. He had sent Hedwig off hours ago with a letter to his best mate Ron. It was the last weekend of holiday and he was hoping to spend it at the Burrow. After what seemed like an eternity he saw the faint outline of his snowy owl, Harry waited for Hedwig to fly in through the window, she landed softly on Harry's shoulder and stuck out her leg so he could free her of her burden. Harry gave his owl and treat and she nipped his ear affectionately. Harry then turned his attention to the letter she had just delivered, he tore it open and felt a sudden fluttering sensation in his stomach.

Harry-

I hope the Dursley's weren't too horrible to you this summer. Mum says we are going to Daigon alley tomorrow, we'll pick you up at 9:00. Can't wait to see you.

Ron

Harry's heart skipped a beat when he read the last line of Ron's note, can't wait to see you, can't wait to see you either Ron, Harry thought. Harry scanned the page one more time and noticed a post script at the bottom.

P.S. Hermione is here as well.

The bottom of Harry's stomach dropped out at the sight of those last words. He knew that Ron fancied Hermione, Harry began to blush as an unknown emotion sneaked into his conscious, was it jealousy? He brushed off the feeling and run downstairs to tell his awful aunt and uncle that he would be leaving at 9:00 the next morning. Last year at Hogwarts Harry thought with a touch of sadness.

Hermione

Hermione woke with a start to what sounded like a small explosion coming from the twin's room across the hall.

"What was that!?" Hermione asked the red haired girl next to her.

"Fred and George decided to come home for a week of rest and relaxation." The youngest Weasley, Ginny mumbled into her pillow.

"Rest and relaxation?" Hermione groaned "How exactly is blowing things up relaxing?"

"Hermione, you should know them better than that by now"

"You're right"

Hermione rolled over and got out of bed. She went to the bathroom and looked in the mirror. Hermione had changed a lot in her six years at Hogwarts. Her hair and finally calmed down and now lay in silky waves half way down her back. Hermione washed her face and got dressed in the jeans and tank top she had brought with her into the bathroom. She put her hair into a pony-tail and put on a little make-up. She stepped back to look at the final result, she was not the skinny awkward girl she had been when she started. She now had her feminine curves and had really come into her self. Satisfied with herself she left the bathroom to head downstairs for breakfast. As she started down the stairs she heard another small explosion, start early these days don't they, she thought to herself.

"Good morning Mrs. Weasley." Hermione said as she sat down at the large kitchen table.

"Oh good morning dear, did you sleep well?"

"Oh yes thank you" Hermione replied "Until Fred and George started their experiments" She added under her breath.

"What was that dear?"

"Oh nothing Mrs. Weasley"

Ron walked into the kitchen still rubbing the sleep out of his eyes. "G'mornin mum" he mumbled

Ron

Ron stubbled into the kitchen and sat down next to Hermione.

"G'mornin mum" he mumbled

"Good morning Ronald"

Ron turned to say good morning to Hermione but his words caught in his throat. She was beautiful, sure she was dressed simply in a pair of jeans and a tank top and her hair was just up in a pony-tail, but Ron was still sure that she was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen.

"Ron! What are you staring at?" Hermione questioned.

"Huh, er...what?"

Hermione gave Ron a look and returned to eating her breakfast. Ron started putting eggs, bacon, and toast onto his plate while blushing profusely. Ginny, Fred, and George stumbled downstairs moments later and sat down for breakfast. After they were all fed Mrs. Weasley tried to usher them all out the door so they could go pick up Harry. As it was they were already late, but George had insisted that he needed to come along, so of course did Fred. Five minutes to nine they were finally on their way.

Harry

Its was 9:15 and the Weasley's still weren't there, they were usually late but Harry began to get a little nervous.

"Late as usual, I daresay we could have had plans, honestly keeping us waiting like this." Uncle Dursley growled.

Just then there was a knock at the door, Harry jumped up to answer it. They are finally here Harry thought to himself. He opened the door to find his two best mates, Ron's mum, his brother's Fred and George, and his younger sister Ginny.

"Harry! Great to see you, are you ready? Can we go?" Fred asked squishing past him to get his trunk.

"Yes lets get out of here" Harry responded. "How did you all get here" He added as an after thought.

"Well dear, after what happened last year the ministry thought it would be nice to provide us with a car" Mrs. Weasley explained.

Soon the twins and Harry's trunk stowed safely in the boot of the car and everyone managed to get back in the car and get settled in. The car, while looking perfectly normal on the outside, was actually huge on the inside, they all fit in perfectly comfortably, with room to spare, which was probably a good thing because of Harry's owl Hedwig. They drove into the heart of London and parked just outside to the Leaky Cauldron, and proceeded inside to the secret entrance of Diagon alley. Harry could not have been happier to be back in the wizarding world where he belonged. The whole gang stopped off at Gringott's first to get the money they would need for their school things, Harry grabbed a bit of extra pocket money as well. Fred and George, skulked off mumbling something about seeing a man with exploding pants for sale.

"Give me your book lists dears and I will get them." Mrs. Weasley told the children.

They all handed over their book lists and hurried away to get the other things they would need. The stopped into the apothecary to refresh their potion kits, and went to the owl emporium to get treats for Hedwig and Pig, Ron's owl. After Ron grabbed Harry's hand to drag him over to the Quidditch shop, while Hermione and Ginny went to get some ice cream. Harry's heart fluttered at the touch of Ron's hand, and began to blush. Luckily Ron didn't notice as his attention was kept by the new broom in the window. After another hour or so they back up with Mrs. Weasley who had her arms full with bags of books from Flourish and Blott's, full of this years new books. Fred and George showed up a minute later, both wearing identical evil smirks. "What have you two been up too?" Mrs. Weasley questioned.

"Oh nothing, nothing at all" Fred responded, trying to put on an innocent but to no avail.

With a suspicious look at the twins Mrs. Weasley ushered them all back to the car to return to the Burrow.
