Towels and Portkeys
Harry having nearly packed all his belongings away in his trunk within the first half hour that he was awake after reading the letters. Harry decided he should have a shower. Of course it would have done Harry well if he had bothered to take notice that it was ten-to-two when he went to take the shower, but he hadn't. Harry thinking that he had loads of time before he was to leave did not rush through his shower. As the Dursley's had told Harry the previous day that they would be out he did not have to worry about them – mainly Uncle Vernon – complaining about him using too much water.
So here we have Harry, returning to his bedroom on Privet Drive at five-after-two wearing only a towel and carrying his bedclothes over his arm. Still slightly wet from the shower.
Now as we know – but Harry doesn't – it is after two. The time a one Mr. Arthur Weasley was to arrive to retrieve Harry from the hell that is Number Four Privet Drive home of the Dursley's.
Now a portkey had been made to bring Mr. Weasley to Harry's bedroom so as not to alarm the Dursley's. So that is where he was waiting for Harry with another guest that came for the trip. Neither Arthur nor the guest would have thought to see Harry a he was when he returned to his room.
"Mr. Weasley!" Harry exclaimed, shocked to find the father of his best friend in his bedroom. "What are you doing here so early?"
"I thought you were informed that I would be here at two to pick you up Harry?"
"Yes I was informed of that but…" Harry's voice faltered at seeing the other person in the room for the first time.
"Ginny!"
Ginny being startled out of her rather interesting line of though that was the product of a sight she only dreamt about. Harry in nothing other then a towel. She blushed when Harry called here name bring here out of her pervy daydream.
"Hey Harry." Ginny smiled still thinking about how nice Harry looked in that towel.
Mr. Weasley now remembering that his youngest child, and only daughter no less was in a boy's room where said boy was wearing nothing but a threadbare towel did not sit well with him.
"Well Ginny and I well wait out in the hall for you to get dressed." Coughed Mr. Weasley getting up from the chair at the small desk in the room pulling Ginny off of Harry's bed and out in to the hall.
Harry himself was quite shocked by all this and was also blushing at being caught mostly naked in front of a girl. Not just any girl though. No it just had to be Ginny Weasley a girl that for some reason had had a crush on him for years and then finally said she was over it. Harry also noted that she look like she had grown a bit since the train and he had noticed that her shirt seemed a bit tight. Not that it bothered him any. Of course it just had to happen in from of Mr. Weasley though didn't it.
"Oh what a wonderful way to start off a visit." Harry moaned to himself. Knowing that he would never here the end of this if any of the other Weasley children – mainly Fred and George – heard of this.
Harry decided then and there that it would be best to get dressed and finish packing as quick as possible.
Opening his door Harry let Mr. Weasley and Ginny come back into his room.
"Sorry about that. I guess I over slept and didn't notice the time when I went for that shower." Harry said looking anywhere in the room but at the two redheads in the room with him.
"Quite alright. No harm done, but we should really be on our way before anyone begins to worry about where we are and Molly sends them off to look for us." Replied Mr. Weasley.
Ginny was just looking at the agitated Harry with a little smile on her face. She was feeling like Christmas had come early cause she got to see Harry wet and wearing only a towel around his waist. Ginny knew that she shouldn't be thinking like this, but hey who could blame her. Harry was attractive. No longer looking like a stiff breeze would knock him over. Harry had put on a nice bit of muscle to his skinny frame. This was thanks to the years he played Quidditch and all the other things Harry had to go through. Though Ginny had to admit that Harry looked underfed, 'but Mum would fix that right quick' Ginny thought.
"Well Harry all ready to go?" Mr. Weasley asked Holding out an old teapot with the spout broken off.
Nodding Harry grabbed his trunk tight and placed a finger on the teapot. Ginny placed her finger on it as well. Mr. Weasley then tapped the teapot with his wand. Feeling the tell-tail pull of a hook behind his navel, Harry and company were launched to their destination. The Burrow.
