My condolences to those involved in the London Underground incident.

Hey, a new chapter rather quick this time! Just 2 days apart, hope you like it!

Harry sat in the kitchen the next morning, hands in his lap and his head bowed, as the twins had a roaring fit over his new additions. The rest of the Weasley's had laughed too but Fred and George seemed to think he needed an extra hour of embarrassment. Harry was blushing furiously as Molly interrupted them.

"For heavens sake!" She sighed. "Quit laughing at the poor boy!"

"Wag your tail for us Harry!" Fred cheered.

"Yeah, give it a go mate!" George chuckled.

"Enough." Molly said firmly as she set the pot of porridge on the table. "Go on Harry dear. It's not so bad." Harry didn't look up at her.

"Come on Harry, she's right. The ears and tail give you more character." Sirius smiled. "Besides Remus went to Dumbledore about it. He'll be able to set thing straight again."

"Right." Arthur nodded. "It's true he's been very busy lately but I'm sure he'll find time."

"I told you that Animigus was nothing to mess with. He's too young, now look at him, he looks like something the Accidental Magic Reversal Department would deal with." She sat down shaking her head. "And that's enough you two." She added glaring to the twins who had been snickering.

"I think their cute." Bill said smiling.

"Very fetching." Charlie snorted. Harry looked up to them even redder than before.

"Look at it this way Harry, at least you can do this sort of advanced magic. You're doing spells this lot won't touch until their seventh year and I doubt anyone of them could make it this far in Animigus training." Sirius patted his shoulder approvingly. That remark wiped the smiles from the Weasley children's faces.

"He's right." Molly sighed. "Now let's eat our breakfast."

Harry was sitting in the den reading one of the books Remus had given him when Ron walked in. He looked to Harry a bit apprehensively before sitting next to him on the sofa. He looked over to him, his tail was wagging slightly beside him as he became more absorbed in the book he was reading, Ron looked curious.

"What are you reading?" He asked. Harry jumped slightly and looked to Ron.

"When did you get here?"

"Just a minute ago." Ron's ears were going slightly pink. "Sorry, I'll go-"

"No, it's ok...I'm sorry." Harry closed his book. "I don't pay attention when I read. It's a book Remus gave me." He handed it to Ron.

"Charms and Hexes for the Everyday Warlock." He read form the cover. He opened it and stared. "Huh...I don't get it. What are all these symbols and stuff?"

"I'm not sure either." Harry laughed slightly. "I ask Remus a lot."

"What about Sirius?"

"He'd rather we play than study. Unless we can play with our wands. It's fun to stun him." Ron laughed a little.

"What's it like?"

"What?" Harry asked taking the book back and setting it next to him.

"Having the ears and tail..."

"Weird. I wish Remus would come back soon." Harry was looking at his lap again.

"What kind of animal are they from?"

"A dog or a wolf." Harry sighed. "I wish I could get the hang of it. We've been at it for ages and then this happened."

"At least you get to do magic. I have to wait until I'm eleven and go to Hogwarts."

"I can't wait." Harry said smiling suddenly. "Sirius told me all sorts of stuff."

"Yeah my parents and Bill and Charlie have told me a lot too. Charlie starts this year, then Percy in two, then Fred and George two after that, then two after them is me."

"At least we get to go together." Harry said smiling slightly.

"Yeah, but you'll be loads better than anyone else by then. I mean Sirius said this morning that you knew almost as much as a seventh year."

"He lied. I suck. I'm a good draw but I'm still having a hard time with a lot of the spells."

"Really?" Ron looked happy about this. Harry nodded.

"Do you...do you wanna go play with the quaffle?"

"Alright." Ron stood up. "Dumbledore is taking ages." And the two went out back to play.

They were having a very good time chasing the large red ball around the backyard and a less good time when Fred and George decided to play dodge ball with them. They were running all over the place trying to avoid getting hit by the ball when Remus came out back. Harry and Ron made for him at once, which seized the Quaffle throwing.

"Bad news Harry." Remus said with a slight smile. "Dumbledore can't make it till tomorrow. You'll have to keep your ears and tail for another day." Harry sighed while the twins snickered.

"It's not so bad." Ron said reassuringly. "We can still play ball."

"Ok." Harry turned to go back into the yard but was pulled back by Remus. Harry was shocked to see that he had grabbed Ron too as he crouched over them.

"Fred! George, get down!" He shouted. The twins hit the ground as a large explosion ignited behind them. A hot wind blew over them and Harry buried his face into Remus's chest. He could hear a woman screaming, Molly by the sounds of it, then Sirius shouting. Harry was released by Remus as he ran out into the yard, Harry and Ron were sitting on the stoop as the Weasley's and Sirius ran past them into the yard too. Harry looked back to see Charlie, Percy, Bill, and Ginny standing in the door looking shocked. He looked back to the yard where Molly was smothering the twins, who both looked shocked but alright, black smoke was everywhere.

"What happened!" Sirius shouted.

"They've found us!" Remus shouted while pulling out his wand. "Molly get the kids in the house, Arthur, Sirius, help me reinforce the shield!"

"How?" Arthur yelled running over while pulling his wand out. "Dumbledore has the Fidilus Charm!"

"You're forgetting that my brother used to be a Death Eater! Even if they can't see the house, they know the general vicinity!" Sirius looked back to the door. "Harry, get in the house now!"

Molly was ushering the kids in but Harry didn't seem to want to move. That black smoke was fading and he could see something, something through the clouds. Something was moving. Harry jumped to his feet as a pain started to gather in his scar.

"Sirius!" He screamed. "Sirius they're out there!" He started to run out to his Godfather but was grabbed by Molly.

"No Harry!"

"Sirius to the right!" Harry screamed pulled against Mrs. Weasley.

"We know Harry, now get in the house! They can't get through as long as Dumbledore's protections are here!"

"It's not Voldemort!" Arthur shouted. "Just some Death Eaters!" That was the last thing Harry heard before Molly picked him up and carried him into the house against his will. They were all in the den as Molly threw some sort of powder into the grate.

"What's going on?" Fred asked his scared siblings. "Did dad say Voldemort was out there?"

"No way." Bill was as pale as the rest of them. "He's dead right?"

"What was that explosion?" George asked.

"Is dad alright?" Ron looked to his mother who was whiter than any of them.

"Dumbledore!" She shouted into the fire. Dumbledore's face appeared in it.

"What is it Molly?" He looked concerned as he saw her face in the flames.

"It's the Death Eaters! They're here. Sirius and the others are in the back."

"I'll be right there. Are the children safe?"

"Yes."

"Good, I want you to use Floo powder and take them to Hogwarts. I'll have Madam Pomfrey waiting in the Hospital wing."

"Alright." And his face was gone. "You heard him everyone." She got to her feet and grabbed another jar of powder. "Hogwarts, Hospital Wing."

"What's going on mum?" Percy asked. "Are Death Eaters really here?"

"Not now Percy. You first Bill, go on now." Bill took a hand full and walked up the fire.

"Hogwarts, Hospital wing." He threw the powder in fire, which turned green, then stepped in it. He was gone with a whish.

"You next, Charlie, then Percy. You twins after him. Harry Ron you two will go together after them. Ginny and myself will come last."

"What about dad?" Charlie asked as he took some of the Floo powder.

"Your father can take care of himself. Go." Soon everyone was gone except herself and Ginny. She gathered her daughter in her arms and looked back to the kitchen door. Faint shouting could be heard as different coloured lights flashed under the door.

"Be careful Arthur." And she was gone.

A bit short I know but I ran out of time. I've got to go run some errands with a friend. Hope you liked it.

Chapter 11: What's going to happen to Arthur, Sirius, and Remus? Did Dumbledore make it in time? And what will the kids think of Hogwarts?
