Chapter 1:

Harry woke up from a wonderful dream where he was riding on his Firebolt and had just caught the snitch in the Quidditch World Cup Finals only to his disbelief that he was still stuck at Number Four Privet Drive. He looked at the calendar he had made himself counting down the days until he would go to the Weasley's house, the Burrow, and meet Ron, Hermione, and all of Ron's older brothers and younger sister Ginny.
Harry's mood was made worse when he heard Uncle Vernon's enormous footsteps get ever closer to his door. Sure enough, in less than a minute Uncle Vernon pounded into Harry's room, his face scarlet.
"You!" shouted Uncle Vernon, "get your things together now, you're leaving."
"What?" Harry said dully.
"You heard me, you're leaving this house and you're not ever coming back is that understood?!"
"Okay, but where am I going to go?" questioned Harry. And very much to Harry's surprise, Ron stepped out from behind Uncle Vernon's enormous body and said, "You're going to live with us!" Ron shouted trying to rise above Uncle Vernon's loud heaving noises. Harry just stood there, dumbfounded. He was actually leaving Privet Drive for good. He'd never have to see Uncle Vernon, Aunt Petunia, or Dudley ever again. He was so happy that he was just frozen, he couldn't move, he was in shock.
"Well, what are you waiting for, you ungrateful weirdo. Get your things together and leave with your equally weird friend. I never want to hear from you or them again."
Harry just stared, amazed at what was happening. Surely this must be some sort of dream. This couldn't possibly be real. As if almost reading Harry's mind Ron stepped over to him and punched him hard in the arm as Uncle Vernon gave them a really nasty looked and turned and left.
"Ow!" shouted Harry. "What did you do that for?"
"To make you sure you weren't dreaming." Ron answered and grinned at Harry.
So Ron and Harry gathered all of Harry's things, which wasn't that much at all, and they headed downstairs with all of his things.
"Er, Ron," Harry began, "how exactly are we getting to the burrow? Where's your dad?"
"Oh!" said Ron as another huge grin crossed his face, "Mum and Dad let me come on the Knight Bus. No, I'm not alone, Herminoe is saving us spots on the Knight Bus."
"Oh, cool." Harry replied as they hauled his stuff out the front door of the Dursley's much too tidy home.
After Harry and Ron had loaded all of Harry's things onto the Knight Bus, Harry turned around to look at the home he never had to return too only to find Aunt Petunia, Uncle Vernon, and Dudley standing outside the front door grinning as broadly as Ron had been grinning.
"Goodbye, then." Harry said as he waved and then stepped onto the Knight Bus after Ron and there was a loud POP! And they were soaring across open fields with an occasional farm here and there.
Harry followed Ron up to the second story of the Knight Bus to find Hermione sitting alone on a couch at the farthest end of floor next to a window. Harry began to walk over to her and say hi, but Ron grabbed his arm and Harry turned around to find Ron blushing with a sheepish smile on his face. "What's up with you?" Harry asked. "Er, well the thing is, Hermione has been at our house for about two weeks now, because Ginny wanted some 'girl company.'" Ron began. "And well, you know how me and Hermione have always had our rows with each other and had this sort of weird relationship going on?" "Yea," Harry said, a faint smile crossing his face knowing what Ron was about to tell him. "Go on then, you were saying?" "Right, well me and Hermione have, well, hooked up. What are you smiling about?" Ron said rather confused as to why Harry was smiling. "Well, Ron, it was gonna happen sooner or later. We all knew it. I'm really happy for you guys." Harry said his smile growing larger across his face. "So have you to been snogging lately?" Ron blushed then a cheeky smile stretched over his face and he nodded and then winked at Harry. Harry gave a small chuckle and said, "Well don't let me get in the way of your snogging, just don't rub it in my face." With that they both walked over to where Hermione, as usual was buried in a book. As they approached she looked up and saw them coming and then got up and gave Harry a huge hug. "Oh Harry!" she began, "It's so good to see you." And she smiled and then turned to Ron as he put his arm around her and they kissed on the lips quickly before Hermione pulled away and said, "I guess Ron told you about us?" "Yea," Harry started, but was unable to finish what he was going to say because Hermione and Ron were kissing each other very passionately and they sat down on the couch and snogged the rest of the way to the Burrow. As soon as the Knight Bus stopped, Harry grabbed his things and quickly hurried past Ron and Hermione still snogging, and out of the Knight Bus onto the front yard of Harry's second favorite place, the Burrow.
