Dumbledore placed a hand on The Burrow's gate. It swung open and he stepped inside. Walking up to house he saw Molly in the kitchen. She smiled and walked over to the door to let him in.
"Molly. A pleasure to see you. How have you been?" He asked Molly as he shook her hand firmly.
Molly replied, "The same to you Professor. Harry is in the living room. Do you want to go through?"
Dumbledore shook his head and explained he would rather wait until Harry came to him. Pulling out a chair from the kitchen table he sat down. A mug of tea appeared in front of him. Smiling he began to drink it. He loved Molly Weasley's tea.
Harry was sitting in his favourite armchair. He had heard Dumbledore speaking to Molly. Harry smirked to himself. 'Let the old fool come to me' He thought. Shifting around so he could get more comfortable, Harry put his feet up and relaxed. He knew Dumbledore was stubborn and would wait in the kitchen. Closing his eyes, he drifted off to sleep.
Looking at his old battered watch for what seemed to be the hundredth time, Dumbledore sighed. It looked like Harry wasn't going to come to him any time soon. Standing up from the chair he had been sitting in for the past three hours, Dumbledore moved swiftly towards the living room door. He walked into the room and sat across from where Harry was still sleeping. Dumbledore muttered a spell and Harry shot awake.
"Ah. Nice to see you are awake, Harry", Dumbledore said cheerfully. "Would you mind answering a few questions?" And without waiting for a reply Dumbledore continued, "Where have you been all this time?"
Sighing, Harry stretched then positioned himself more comfortably in his seat. Even the dumbest of people could see he was trying to put off answering Dumbledore's question. After a few minutes he finally replied, "Dumbledore you old fool. I am never going to tell you what I have been doing. And don't you worry, you won't have to look out for me soon. I have made arrangements. I'm leaving and never going back to your stupid old school!"
"Harry. How do you expect to escape from my careful watch and run away again. I have aurors watching you at all times. You won't be leaving. That is for sure"
Harry stood up and pulled out his wand. "I WILL CURSE YOU RIGHT NOW DUMBLEDORE! YOU WILL NEVER KEEP ME!" Dumbledore just lay back in his chair and folded his arms. He knew Harry would not curse him, deep down Harry cared for the old wizard.
Dumbledore stood up too. "I will send someone to collect yourself and Ron tonight. I expect to see you both at breakfast tomorrow morning" He ordered.
Walking out of the room and after thanking Molly for having him and for the tea, Dumbledore opened the door and through the gate before apparating to Hogwarts.
Harry sat back down and smiled. He couldn't wait for Dumbledore to fail at catching him again.
