Chapter 25

Stood in the front room of the Granger's London home Harry and Ron are saying goodbye to Hermione who has decided to spend a few days with her parents before going t the burrow for the rest of the summer.

"Thank you for going to Australia with me, you are the best friends anyone could ask for"

"You're welcome Hermione, are you gonna be alright to unpack, or do you want us to stay and help with that?"

"No I think we'll be ok, thanks though Harry".

"I'm gonna miss you Hermione"

"It's only for a few days Ron, I promise. I'll be at the burrow by the middle of next week, ok?"

"Sure, now come here"

Ron and Hermione then kiss and hug goodbye before she hugs Harry and steps back.

"Oh and would you say hello and thank you to Kingsley for me please?"

"Sure"

"Okay then bye Hermione".

"Bye Ron, you too Harry".

"See ya Hermione"

Harry and Ron then apparate back to Burrow where they are greeted in the yard by Ron's mom, Mrs Weasley.

"Oh Ron, I've been so worried" she says as she hugs her son.

"Mum! I'm fine, honestly"

"Oh I know that, but I am still your mother and therefore allowed to worry about you. Anyway Harry, how are you, I take it you found Hermione's parents"

"Yeah we did, she's gonna spend a few days with them before coming here for the rest of summer".

"I'd do the same if I was her, now come on in, and go upstairs to unpack your things".

"Mum, where's everyone else?"

"Oh, you just missed them, they've gone to play Quidditch up in the orchard".

"Do you mind if we go up there as well?"

"Go on then"

"Accio broom" say Harry and Ron at the same time and when their brooms arrive they get on them and fly up to the orchard.

They arrive just in time to see Ginny score 10 points.

"Ron, Harry. How was Australia?" asks Bill.

"Good yeah, we have some pictures back at the house that we can show you later".

"Enough of the talk, let's play Quidditch" demands George

An hour later they all head back to the house, Harry, George and Ron happy because they won. They arrive in the yard to see Kingsley and Arthur arrive.

"Bill, what are you doing here?" inquires Arthur.

"Oh, Fleur's gone to see her family in France, so I thought I'd come stay here for a few days"

"Hi Kingsley, thanks again for the help with the Fireplace and that"

"Oh you're welcome Harry".

Hearing all the commotion Molly comes outside to see everyone talking.

"Dinner will be ready in a few minutes, why don't you all come in and you lot, I am not having you sit around my table with mud all over you, go clean up and then come back down, you hear me?"

"Yes mum, we hear you"

"Don't get smart with me Ginny Weasley, no go, go on"

They all head inside the Burrow.
