Charlie stood in the station waiting for Harry to arrive. The train was already half an hour late, he hated muggle transportation it always seemed to be late, he had never fully understood his father's infatuation with Muggle inventions. As he was thinking the train began to pull into the station and he looked about the people to try and spot Harry as he got off the train. "Hi Charlie," said a voice next to him, he looked at the speaker and was confronted with a tall sandy haired boy with brown eyes. "I'm sorry, do I know you?" His response was met by laughter from the person standing in front of him. "Lets think about this, a guy who you don't recognize comes up to you in the station where you happen to be waiting for just such a person and who happens to have a very large black dog with him. That's a tuffy." "Harry, long time no see, apparently nothing makes you lose your sense of humor." Harry's face fell when Charlie said this and he looked slightly distant. "Sorry mate, that was in really bad taste." "Don't apologise, I'm more worried about when Norbert is going to turn me into a kabob in hiding." "Don't worry about it, most no one knows much when they first get here and you are already wicked on a broom so you don't have to worry about that." "Well I guess that means I won't be a total failure." "That is yet to be determined." "Thanks Charlie, always the optomist I see," "You have no idea." As they were talking Charlie had steered them near a local tavern which was obvious a muggle place because of the large amount of people coming in and out without robes. They walked to a table in the corner of the large room where a group of three was already seated. "Charlie!" at that all three members stood up to greet Charlie and Harry, "You must be Rob," said the speaker holding her hand out to Harry, she was tall and about Charlie's age with long black hair, she reminded Harry of someone but he couldn't figure out who. "I'm Su-Mei Chang, that's Vlad, she said gesturing to a dark haired broad shouldered guy who raised his pint to Harry and that's Adelphe." She said pointing to the olive skinned girl next to Vlad. "Sit down have a drink and we can discuss the spells you are going to need."

"Dad!" Ron practically attacked his father as he apperated into the room. Ginny immediately followes suit as did their mother. "I can't stay, I need to be in Diagon Alley helping in the aftermath. Dumbledore contacted me immediately before the attack I just wanted you all to know that I'm OK." "Bad, you're not serious, you can't be leaving now we just found out that you're alright." Ron was upset and tried to block the doorway. "Ron, I have to go and you know that. I have an obligation to help." "Go Arthur, but be careful you don't know who is walking around there now it's still very dangerous, and check in once in a while I don't like being worried." "I will Molly, no need to worry." With that he apperated away. "Ron stomped up to his room and threw himself onto his very orange bed, he needed to do something, anything just to get his mind off of what was going on. His eyes strayed to the parchment laying on his desk and immediately picked up a quill and began to write two letters:
Hermione, I suppose that by now you must know what is going on because you keep up with the news so well. I just wanted to tell you that my Dad's ok, but this whole thing has got me really worried and I know that Harry must be out of his mind, he always is when this type of thing happens I hope he's OK with only those horrible Muggles to keep him company. Anyway, I was hoping that you could come visit for a couple weeks and Harry too if Dumbledore lets him and them we can all go to school from here. It would be a lot more fun then Bulgaria with Vickie. Sorry I know that's a sore spot for you. And we could play quidditch as long as it doesn't disturb Percy who still hasn't found a place of his own even after Fred and George filled his entire room with ton tongue toffees. It was quite funny, he was stupid enough to try and eat one. I can hear you tutting so don't. It was all in good fun. Fred and George have been acting quite strange lately too, they bought me some navy blue dress robes that I am still afraid to touch for fear of hexes, but they are a lot nicer then the old maroon ones. Hope you can come this summer! -Ron
He read it over and then started one to Harry,
Harry, Dad's OK because I know you were worried and now he is helping trying to restore order to the Alley, I must say that this does not strike me as a good omen for this year but there is no way that anything could happen to Hogwarts its too well protected. Anyway, you should come and visit us this summer sometime and then you, Hermione and I can all go shopping before school starts. If Hermione decides to go to Bulgaria instead of here I don't think that I could handle any more of her and Vicky together it already makes me sick. Don't let the Muggles get you down, and if they do just send to Fred and George and they'll help you. -Ron
Hopefully they could come soon, It would improve his mood greatly the house was lonely when he was the only one here all day. Except for Ginny that is. "Ron?" There was a nock on his door and Ginny found her way in. "Are you just going to sit here all day?" "Do I have anything better to do? In case you haven't noticed there is nothing here with you pouring over dad's muggle stuff and Fred, George, and Percy all absorbed in some kind of work its just a little boring in my neck of the woods so buzz off will you." "Geese Ron, no need to be mad at me, I didn't do anything, I just tried to help." She was glaring at him, Red hair in an angry halo around her head. Ron sighed. "Look, I'm sorry Gin, its just that all of this is making me completely stress-filled, and both of my best friends are off in Muggle land." "Hey that's ok, we're all worried."

Hermione read Ron's letter and was relieved that Mr. Weasely was OK, and was looking forward to seeing him and Harry later in the summer. She was having a terrible summer as well stuck in this house with nothing to do. She re-read the letter and started on a reply.
Dear Ron, I was really glad to read your letter, I am so happy that your Dad is OK. I am also really looking forward to seeing you and Harry at the Burrow later this summer. Its terribly boring here and there is no one to talk to, you may not believe this but I was a little un popular at my old school, they thought I was a brain. I know that you are laughing right now so stop. I wasn't all that bad. There were worse, really there were. Stop Laughing! Anyway I'm not going to Bulgaria because I don't think that its safe to travel after what happened to the ministry and I do not want you gloating about it during school and if you do, you will die. I learned some great curses over the summer. Anyway I'm worried about Harry, he always gets reserved when things like this happen and then there is Cedric still hanging over his head he really needs us now. Make sure to pester Harry about coming to the Burrow it would be the best part of the summer if we are all there.
Love, Hermione
When she was finished writing she re read the letter. She wished she was at the Burrow right now. She missed Ron and Harry, but she had to admit to herself that she really did miss Ron, a lot. Before that line of thought could go on too long she went downstairs to watch TV and NOT think about Ron.
