Chapter 2
The Weasleys and Harry pulled up to the front of the house in their car and scrambled out one by one. Fred and George were trying to show Harry some of their new products that they had created round by the shed, but Mrs Weasley had noticed and told them to 'come inside and help with laying the table for dinner.' Ron then tried to drag Harry upstairs but Mrs Weasley told him to 'go and degnome the garden, because he wasn't getting away with chores just because Harry was here.'
Ginny also tried to sneak away but met Mr Weasley at the top of the stairs so was sent back down to help Ron. Harry was the only one left without a chore, so wandered outside to find Ron and Ginny, not wanting to be alone or be a nuisance around the house.
'Who are the friends that your Mum has invited over tonight by the way?' Harry said as he picked up a nearby rock and threw it into the bush where a definite 'owch' was heard by a gnome.
Ron shrugged, 'Dunno, she won't tell us.'
'I hope Tonks is coming' Ginny smiled, as she picked up a new, blue gnome, 'She always makes dinner fun'.
Harry grinned at her and proceeded to walk down to the bottom of the garden, kicking the occasional gnome back into the bushes who were sticking their tongues out at Harry as he passed. He loved being at the Weasleys. He loved the friendly atmosphere in the house, he loved the magic that you would come across in each room and he especially loved the people, but he still couldn't wait to leave and be back at Hogwarts again, his home. He missed everything about it, he even missed the caretaker Filch, if that was possible.
'Harry! Harry, come here! Your guests are arriving!' Yelled Mrs Weasley through the back door.
'My guests?' Mouthed Harry to Ron and Ginny but they both shrugged and followed him in to the kitchen. Almost as soon as he had stepped into the kitchen he was being pulled into a tight squeeze by Hermione.
'Woah Hermione, let him breathe' laughed Ron, leaning against the doorframe, but Hermione continued to clasp him tightly.
'I haven't heard from you all summer, have you not been able to write? Have you been okay at your Aunt and Uncles? Im so glad you're here!' She let go and a tear ran down her cheek but she was beaming at him.
'Let us say hello 'Mione' came the deep booming voice of Kingsley Shacklebolt who shook his hand and thumped him on the back, followed by Remus, Tonks, Sirius, Neville, Seamus, Dean and Luna.
'Its great to see you Harry' came the dreamy voice of Luna Lovegood. 'Oh yeah, you too Luna' Harry smiled, grasping her hand for a moment before letting it go.
'Its been an awfully long time Harry, have you missed me much? I have missed you, i must say. My Daddy couldn't make it by the way, sorry, he's a little behind on an article about Nargles.' She whispered, and with that floated off into the living room. Harry looked at the back of her and noticed she had a pink hand made dress on with bits of leaves sewn on here and there.
'Mad that one' Ron commented, coming to stand by Harry, Hermione coming round to his other side, clinging on to his arm.
'I think she's great.' He sighed.
