It's the next day and everything still hurt. Grace couldn't stop crying when she saw me, I had to tell her over and over again that this wasn't her fault, and that she shouldn't keep blaming herself for what dad doesn't, in the end she calm down and fell asleep.
I'm just in my room and the minute, getting ready to go to Harry's, I told him what happened over the walkie talkie and he was so angry that he wanted to come over and kick dad arse, but I manged to convince him to stay at home. Dad could have hurt Harry if he came over and I didn't want that.
We aren't really allowed to see Harry tonight because his uncle as got the Mason family coming over for dinner, it's something to do with work, but I don't want to stay at home, so Harry said he will sneak us in.
A suicide mission if you ask me, because if we are caught by his uncle then he will probably kill us, but at the minute, I would rather take his uncle than being in the same house as my dad.
I look around my room and I see Grace playing with Daisy, I smile at them. I've already told mom where we are going and she said it's ok that we go as long as we are not back too late.
Mom seems a little different from yesterday, I haven't seen her drink at all today, dad has already passed out in bed, I think he was drinking for the both of them.
I pick the walkie talkie up off my night stand and talk into it. "Lightning, you here?"
"I'm here, you ready to come over."
"Yeah, we have just got to get our shoes on."
"Ok, I will be waiting by the door, remember don't knock on the door, I will keep checking the spy hole on the door."
"We will be around in a sec."
"Ok crazy eyes" I smile to myself and put down the walkie talkie.
"Hey baby girl, are you ready to go?"
"Yes sissy, I can't wait to see Harry."
"Me too, but remember, we have to be quiet."
"I will" she says smiling, I smile at her, then look at Daisy and stroke her head. "We are just popping over to Harry's, I will lock you in here so dad can't get to you" she meows.
We walk out the room and I lock it behind me, then head down stairs, we put our shoes on and I head into the living to tell mom that we are leaving. I walk in and see mom in her coat and shoes.
"Mom" she jumps and holds her stomach.
"Jade" whispers, I see her looking at my bruises on my face. She looks over to me and I move back. "I'm not going to hurt you" she took my hair behind my ear, then touched the bruises on my face. "Anywhere else?" she whispers.
"My stomach and back."
"Show me" I pull up my top and show her. I can see that she's got tears in her eyes.
I pull my top back down, she was about to say something, but I feel Grace hold my hand, mom looks at her. "Hey Grace, I like your hair."
"Thank you mommy, sissy plaited it for me."
"It looks very nice" Grace smiles at her. "Right, I better go before I'm late" mom says picking up her bag.
"Where are you going?"
"Just to meet a friend" maybe that's why she hasn't been drinking today.
"Oh I see, well I hope you have a nice time."
"I will. You two have a nice time at Harry's."
"We will" we say together. Mom kisses our foreheads, then walks out the house.
That was weird. She's never bothered about my bruises before and I wonder who this friend is all of a sudden, she's never motioned a friend before.
I look at Grace. "Come on baby girl, Harry is waiting for us."
"Ok sissy" we walk out the front day and I lock it behind me, then walk over the grass to Harry's house, I was about to knock, then I remember that I can't.
We stand there for a bit, then I hear the door open. I see Harry standing there, he puts his finger up to his lips, telling us to be quite, we nod and walk in.
We all sneak upstairs without any problems, Harry opens his bedroom door, only to find someone or something is already jumping on his bed.
"Harry Potter Sir" the little creature says looking at Harry, who's standing there with his mouth wide open, I close it for him and he blinks.
"Hello, erm who are you?" he asks.
"Dobby Sir, Dobby the house elf."
"Hello Dobby" Grace says smiling.
"Hello miss."
"You're cute Dobby" Grace looks at me. "Sissy, can we keep him?"
"No Grace, we can't."
"Aww" I smile at her. I look at Dobby, he is pretty cute. Grace is just smiling at him.
"Dobby, what are you doing here?" Harry asks.
"Dobby has come to tell you something, it is difficult sir, Dobby wonders where to being."
"Why don't you sit down" Harry says. Grace traps the bed telling him to sit next to her.
I thought he was going to sit down, but he started crying instead. "S-sit down, never, Dobby never."
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend you or anything" Harry says.
"Offend Dobby, no Sir, Dobby has never been asked to sit down by a wizard, like an equal."
"You can't have met any decent wizard" Harry says smiling a little.
"No Sir" Dobby says, then without warning, he started hitting his head on the wardrobe. "Bad Dobby! Bad Dobby!"
"Dobby stop, please stop" I say pulling him away from the wardrobe and bent down to his level. "Why did you do that for?"
"Dobby had to punish himself miss. Dobby almost spoke ill of his family" he says.
Grace stands down next to him and holds his hand, he looks at her with watery eyes. "It's ok, we won't tell anyone" she says smiling.
"Your family?" Harry ask confused.
"The wizard family Dobby serves Sir, Dobby is a house elf bound to sever one house and one family for ever" Dobby says.
"Do they know you're here?" I ask.
"Oh no miss, no, Dobby will have to punish himself, Dobby will have to shut his ears in the oven door."
Grace gasps. "You can't do that Dobby, you will hurt yourself."
"Dobby has to miss, Dobby is always having to punish himself for something miss."
"If you were my house elf, I would be nice to you, and we would play all day" Grace says smiling.
"That's very kind of you miss, but Dobby will have to serve the family until he dies miss."
"Can't you leave or maybe escape?" I ask.
"No miss, Dobby must be set free miss, and the family will never set Dobby free miss."
"That's sad, I wish I could set you free Dobby, then you could come and play with me" Grace says. Me and Harry smile at each other.
Dobby looks at Harry. "Dobby as come to warn Harry Potter not to go back to Hogwarts."
"What? No! No I have to go back" Harry gasps.
"No sir, there's a plot, a plot to make terrible things happen."
"What terrible things?" I ask.
"And who's plotting them?" Harry added.
Dobby made a funny chocking nose, he broke free of Grace's grip and started hitting his head of the wall. "Bad Dobby! Bad Dobby!"
"Dobby that's enough" Harry says pulling him back, he was about to say something, when we heard Vernon coming up the stairs.
Me and Harry looked at each other. "The wardrobe" we say together. "Come on Grace" she gets off the floor and we rush into the wardrobe, Harry throws Dobby in and closes the door just has his bedroom door opens.
"What the devil are you doing in here?" Vernon asks, Dobby tried to open the wardrobe door, but I grab his hand and shake my head.
"Keep it down or you will wish you were never born" Vernon says before slamming the door closed and we all get out the wardrobe.
"See, see why I've got to go back, I don't belong here, it's the only place I've got friends" Harry looks at me, "well not the only place - oh you know what I mean."
"I know" I say smiling.
"Friends that don't even write to Harry Potter" Dobby whispers.
I look at Harry. "You never told me that Ron and Hermione haven't been writing."
"I was going to - hang on, how do you know my friends haven't been writing to me?" Harry asks looking at Dobby.
"Harry Potter mustn't be angry with Dobby" he says as he pulls out a bunch of letters from inside his pillow case that he was waring for a top.
"Dobby thought that if Harry Potter had thought his friends had forgotten him, then Harry Potter wouldn't want to go back to Hogwarts Sir."
"Dobby, that's mean, give Harry his letters" Grace says.
"Dobby tried to stop miss Jade and miss Grace too, but Dobby couldn't keep them in the house sir."
"Give me my letters Dobby" Harry says holding out his hand.
"Harry Potter can only have his letters, if Harry Potter promises not to go back to Hogwarts this year."
"Give me my letters" Harry says trying to grab them, but Dobby makes a run for the door.
"No Dobby, don't go down stairs" I say but he runs out the room, Harry runs after him, and me and Grace follow. We found Dobby in the kitchen looking at a cake.
He looked at Harry. "Harry Potter must promise Dobby that he will not go back to Hogwarts."
"I can't" Dobby clicked his fingers and the cake rose into the air and Dobby moved it so it was over Mrs Mason's head.
"No Dobby, don't you dare, please Dobby, bring back the cake" Harry says.
"I can't watch" Grace says bring her hands to her face, but still is watching through her fingers.
"Harry Potter must say he's not going back to Hogwarts."
"I can't, Hogwarts is my home."
"Then Dobby must do it Sir, for Harry Potter's own good" Dobby clicked his fingers and the cake fell on Mrs Mason's head.
We would have laughed if it wasn't a life or death situation. We tried to sneak back up stairs, but froze when Vernon corned us. He looked murderous when he saw me and Grace.
"You two! What are you two brats doing in my house?" we didn't have time to answer him, because he grabbed our shoulders and started dragging us to the door.
"Get your hands off my sister" I say as I stamp on his feet, he yelps in pain and let's go of Grace.
"Why you little" he grabs my hair and opens the door and pushes me out. Grace pushes past him and runs over to me. "I never want to see you in my house again" he said before slamming the door closed.
"Come on baby girl, we can talk to Harry on the walkie talkie" she nods and we walk over to the grass, I pull the key out my bag and unlock the door, we walk in and take our shoes off.
We walk into the living room and I see mom asleep on the chair, I look around and I can't see any empty bottles.
I walk over to her and shake her a little. "Mom"
She opens her eyes and looks at me. "Jade, what's wrong?"
"Nothing, I was just letting you know that me and Grace are back."
"Oh ok, did you have -" she starts, but doesn't finishes because she falls back to sleep.
"Mom" Grace says looking worried.
"It's ok, she's just gone back to sleep that's all. Come on, let's leave mom to sleep and we will go upstairs" she nods and we head upstairs.
I open my door and see Daisy stretched out on my bed, we walk in and I lock the door behind me. "Do you think Harry is ok?" Grace asks as she sits on the bed.
"Yeah, he's fine, I will call him on the walkie talkie in a bit" she nods.
"Dobby was cute, wasn't he?"
"He was, but he could have got Harry in a lot of trouble to making that cake fall on Mrs Masons head" Grace giggles a little.
I smile at her. "Crazy eyes" I grab the walkie talkie.
"Lightning, what happened after we left?"
"I got a warning letter reminding me that I can't use magic out side of school."
"But you didn't use magic, Dobby did."
"I know, maybe it's because it happened in my house, I dunno, but uncle Vernon got really angry because I never mentioned that we couldn't use magic, he's locked me in my room Jade, he says I'm not allowed to go back to school" Harry says.
"That's not happening lightning, you will be going back to school, we will find a way."
"Me and sissy will break you out tomorrow" Grace says and Harry laughs a little.
"Thanks Grace, I can always count on you."
"Always Harry, best friends for life remember."
"Best friends for life."
"Don't worry Harry, we will think of something."
"Listen, I'm going to get some sleep now, hopefully tomorrow will be a better day."
"Ok, good night lightning."
"Good night Harry, love you" Grace says.
"Love you too, Grace. You too, Jade."
"Love you too, Harry" I say before putting down the walkie talkie.
"That didn't sound good sissy."
"I know baby girl, come on, we should get some sleep too" she nods and gets her pyjamas on and get's into bed and falls asleep straight away.
"Hey Daisy" I say stroking her head.
"Have you had a good day?" she meows. "What do you think we should do about Harry?" she meows again. I sigh and carry on stroking her head, then close my eyes and go to sleep.
It felt like I had only been asleep for 10 minutes when I hear Harry says, "crazy eyes, Jade wake up."
I slowly open my eyes and get blinded by a light. I hear something trapping on my window, I get out of bed and open the curtain, only to come face to face with Harry in a flying car.
I look and I can see Ron, Fred and George, I open my window so I could talk to them. "Jade, your face" Ron gasps.
"It's not just her face, she's got bruises on her stomach and a nasty one on the bottom of her back" Harry says. I give him a look.
Ron, Fred and George look at me. "Aare you ok?" they all ask together.
"Yeah, still hurts a bit, but I'm fine" I look at the car, then back at them. "What are you doing here anyway, and in a flying car?"
"We came to get Harry from his auntie and uncle's, so we thought we would come and get you and Grace too" Ron says smiling.
"As much as I would love to get in a flying car, I can't, he will be really angry if we leave without telling him."
"Ask him then" Ron says.
"He's passed out, it would take a miracle to wake him up."
"Ask your mom then" Fred says.
"I guess I could try mom, ok I will go and ask her" they nod. "You might want to put the car on the floor, just in case someone looks out their window."
"Good idea" George says as he fly's the car down and picked it on the drive way.
I look at Grace and she's still asleep with Daisy on her back. I walk out of my room and into mom and dad room, I look and I see dad in bed, but not mom, maybe she's still asleep on the chairs.
I sneak down stairs and into the living room and I can see her asleep, I slowly walk over to her and shake her a little. "Mom, I need to ask you something."
She jumps. "J-Jade, what is it? What's wrong?"
"I'm sorry to wake you up."
"It's fine sweetheart, what's wrong?" she asks.
"Nothing is wrong, but I was wonder if me and Grace could spend the rest of our summer holiday with our friends the Weasley's" she drives up off the chair and holds her stomach. I jump because I wasn't expecting her to move so fast.
"Yes, yes of course, that would be fine sweetheart, but how would you get there?"
"Oh, erm, they are kind of waiting outside in their car" she looks out the window. "They don't look older enough to drive."
"They're not, but their car can fly."
Mom looks at me. "You better go and pack then."
"Mom, is everything ok? You seem a little different?"
"Yes, I just want you out the house" I look at her a little shocked. "Oh, sorry Jade, that came out all wrong, I just meant, I want you out of the house and away from your father."
"Are you sure everything is ok? I mean you have never really bothered before."
"That's because I never really knew what your father put you through in that room, not until I got to experience it for myself."
"Yourself?" I ask confused. She pulls up her top and I can see bruises on her stomach and back. "M-mom, what? When? Why?"
"The same night as you. This was the first time he's hit me, he was really angry about you talking back to him, so angry that he wanted to hit you again, but I stopped him and he took it out on me" mom says with tears in her eyes.
"Y-you stopped him?" she nods "Why?"
"Because I wasn't drunk when he hit you and I heard everything, you begging him to stop, you crying, you screaming in pain, him shouting at you, him calling you names, I head everything Jade. When I'm drunk all of that get's blocked out, I don't hear any of it because I'm to drunk to actually listen. I couldn't believe my ears, I tried to get into the room, but the door was locked" mom says crying.
"M-mom, I-I -" I start, but stop when I realise that I don't know what to say.
Mom walked over to me and hugs me tight. "It's ok, everything will be ok. I promise Jade and I promise Grace too."
"Mom, I can't leave you here with him."
"You can and you will. You are a lot safer with her friends and Harry."
"But what if he hits you again?"
"He won't sweetheart, not if I play by his rules."
I pull away from mom. "So what, you're just going to get drunk with him and act like everything is fine when it's not."
"Just trust me ok Jade, I know what I'm doing sweetheart."
"I trust you mom" she smiles at me.
"Come on, let's wake up Grace and I will help you pack" I nod and we walk upstairs.
I definitely did not except mom to say all of that when I first woke her up, I can't believe dad hit mom, I mean I can, but I never thought I would have to worry about mom getting hit, dad's always too focused on me and Grace that I didn't even think that he could be doing the same to mom.
I really don't want to leave mom now, but I know that we are safer away from dad, and I really do trust mom when she says she's knows what she's doing.
We walk into my room and see that Grace is still asleep. "You sort out your trunks and I will wake Grace up" mom says.
I nod and get our trunks from the wardrobe and start sorting out my clothes and school things, it only took my 5 minutes to sort mine and Grace's trunk out.
I walk over to the bed and sit down next to Grace. "Sissy, mommy said we are staying with our friends."
"We are, they are waiting outside for us."
"Yes!" she grins.
"Hey Grace, guess what?" mom asks.
"What?"
"You know when you're at school and you draw them lovely pictures."
"Yes mommy."
"Well, I was wondering if you could draw me some pictures and have an owl send them to me" Grace gasped.
"I can do that mommy, I can't wait to draw you pictures."
"And I can't wait to see them" Grace smiles and hugs mom. I see a tear roll down mom's cheek, but she quickly wipes it away.
"But mom, what about dad?" I ask.
"Don't worry about your father. He won't know about the picture and I want you both to send me some letters, telling me everything that you have been getting up to."
Grace pulls away from mom. "We can do that, can't we sissy?"
"Of course we can" I say smiling at her.
"Right then, you better get going, you have kept your friends waiting long enough" mom says and we nod, mom helps us take our trunks down stairs, Grace has got Daisy in her cage.
"Mom, what are you going to tell dad?"
"Don't worry about that Jade, I've got everything under control. You just go and have fun with your friends and I will see you both soon."
We give mom a big hug. "I love you mom" I whisper.
"Me too mommy, I love you too."
"And I love you both, so much" she pulls away from us.
We walk out and the twins get out the car and help us with our trunks, then they look at mom. "Mom, this is Fred and George and that's their brother Ron, and obviously you already know Harry."
"It's nice to meet you all" mom says smiling, they smile at her.
Harry looks at me confused, I give him a 'I'll explain later' look and he nods.
Me and Grace say good bye to mom, then get into the car, it's a bit of a squeeze but we manged it in the end, Fred drives down the street, then just fly's into the air.
Grace gasp and grabs my hand. Oh right. I forgot to tell her that the car fly's. "Wow" she whispers looking out the window. "Look sissy, I can see our house from here" I smile at her.
Harry looks at me. "So, what was all that about with your mom?"
"I will explain when" I point to Grace, because if I say her name, then she will start listening and she doesn't need to know what's gone on with mom and dad "is asleep" he nods.
"So Harry, how come you never answered any of my letters?" Ron asks and Harry started telling Fred, George and Ron all about Dobby turning up in his room.
We see Fred and George gives each other a look.
"Do you know something about this?" Harry asks.
"No, but it's just that house elf's have their own kind of magic" Fred says.
"Yeah, and normally they can't use it without the masters permission, we reckon that Dobby was sent to stop you coming back to Hogwarts" George says.
"Can you think of anyone at school who has a grudge against you?" Fred asks.
"Yeah, Draco Malfoy, he hates me" Harry says. He looks at Fred and George in the front sits. "I don't know if they have an house elf though."
"Well, whoever send him would be an old and rich wizarding family" Ron says.
I look at Grace only to see her asleep up the door. I smile to myself.
"So, now that Grace is asleep, care to explain what all that was about with your mom?" Harry says, so I told them everything mom told me.
"Jade, that's horrible" Harry says.
"I didn't want to leave her, but she was having none of it. She told me to trust her and that she knew what she was doing."
"Do you think she will be ok?" Ron asks.
"I hope so" I whisper, they look at me. "I mean, yeah, yeah she will be fine" they all give me a look.
"She said I could send her letters, so I will be able to ask her how she is and what dad is doing" I say, they nod. "She also said that Grace could send her some pictures, I think it made Grace's year" I say smiling at her.
"How do you do it?" Fred ask.
I look at him. "Do what?"
"Stay so strong."
"Because I've got to be, if I start breaking down, then Grace will too."
"She seems very happy to me" George says.
"That's because she is and that's what I mean, I can't just break down every time something happens, because it will bring her down too, I can't do that to her, so I fake it" I say.
"Don't you ever feel like breaking down though?" Ron asks.
"All the time and I do, but only when she's asleep" they all look at me. "I'm fine, really, sometimes you just need a good cry to make yourself feel better."
"You don't have to fake it around us, you know" Fred says.
"She's not, trust me, I know when she's faking it, I can always see through her lies" Harry says.
"Yeah, I hate that you can read me like a book" I say, he gives me a little smile.
"Look, we are almost home" George says.
"Yes, look, just over that hill" Fred says as he lowers the car a little.
I look at Grace and shake her a little. "Baby girl, we are almost here."
She opens her eye. "What sissy?" she says in a cute sleepy voice.
"We are almost here."
"We are" she says sitting up straight and looking out the window, I laugh a little.
"I never did ask you, but why do you sometimes call her baby girl?" Ron asks.
"She didn't have a name until she was born, so I called her baby girl and it's just stuck."
"Why dose she call you sissy and not Jade?" Fred asks.
"Because she couldn't say Jade when she was little, so sissy was easier."
"I can say Jade now though, but I like calling her sissy" Grace says smiling, I smile at her.
Fred lowers the car more and we hit the floor with a little bump. We all got out the car and walk into the house as quietly as we can and make our way into the kitchen.
Ron and Fred pick up some bread rolls off the table and start eating them, we are about to walk upstairs when we were stopped by Mrs Weasley, Ron and Fred quickly hide the bread rolls behind their backs.
"Where have you been? I've been worried sick, beds empty, no note, car gone, you have been killed, you have been seen" she shouts.
She looks at Harry and I feel him tense up. "of course I don't blame you Harry" she says in a calmer voice, then she looks at me and gasp. "Jade, my goodness, what happened to your face."
"I walked into a door" she gives me a 'tell me the truth' look.
I don't say anything and see looks around the room. "Wait, where's your sister?"
"I'm here" Grace says moving from behind my legs.
"Oh it's good to see you dear. Now, how about some breakfast" we all smile at her.
We sit around the table and talk whiles Mrs Weasley makes us breakfast, I'm just watching her, she is using her wand to help her cook. I can't wait until I can do magic outside of school.
Just then Ron's little sister, Ginny, came running into the room. "Mommy have you seen my jumper?"
"Yes dear, it's on the cat" Ginny looks around the room, she looks at me and Grace, we give her a little smile and she gives us one back, then her eyes fall on Harry.
"Hello" he says smiling.
She looks at him with wide eyes then rushes out the room making Fred, George and Ron laugh under their breath.
"What did I do?" Harry asks looking confused.
"Ginny, she's been talking about you all summer, a bit annoying really" Ron says.
"She seems nice" Grace says.
"Yeah, she's nice and all that, but I was getting sick hear about Harry" Ron says, then he looks at Harry. "No offence."
"None taken" Harry says smiling.
Just then the door opened, and their dad walked in. "Morning Weasleys" he says smiling.
"Morning dad" Ron, Fred and George say together.
"What a night, nine raids, nine" he says happily.
"Raids?" Harry asks Ron.
"Dad works in the Ministry of Magic, in the Mystery of Muggle Artefacts office, dad loves Muggles, he finds them fascinating."
Mr Weasley kisses Mrs Weasley cheek, then sits at the table. He looks around the table and his eye full on me. He opens his mouth but I cut him off "it's nothing."
"That doesn't look like nothing to me."
"I walked into a door."
"Well, that's a lie."
I don't say anything and look at the table. Mr Weasley doesn't say anything and looks at Harry. "And who might you be?"
"Oh, I'm Harry Sir, Harry Potter."
"Good lord, are you really? Well, Ron's told us all about you. When did they get here?" Mr Weasley asks.
"This morning, your sons flew that enchanted car of your to Surrey and back last night" Mrs Weasley says.
"Did you really? How did it go?" he asks happily, making Mrs Weasley hits him on the shoulder. "I mean that was very wrong of you boys, very wrong indeed" he says making us all look at each other and smile.
Mr Weasley whispers something to Mrs Weasley and she nods, then looks at me. "Could we have a quick word with you in private."
I nod and stand up, and follow them into the living room and Mrs Weasley closes the door behind us. "We just wanted talk to you about your face, because we all know that a door didn't do that."
I look at her and they smile at me. I trust them enough to let them know what's happening. Ok here it goes. "It wasn't a door, it was - it was my dad."
"Your father oh darling" Mrs Weasley says giving me a hug. I smile and hug her back. "How long as this been going on for?" Mr Weasley asks.
"Since Grace was a month old" Mrs Weasley gasp and pulls away from me. Aww, I was enjoying that monthly hug.
"That long. Dose he hurt Grace too?" she asks.
"No. I stop him from hurting her, that's why he takes it out on me more."
"And what about your mother?" Mr Weasley asks
"Oh, erm, mom is normally too drunk to stop him."
"She's drinks?" he frowns.
"They both do, but mom doesn't seem to be drinking as must lately" I say.
"Do they know you and you sister are here?" Mrs Weasley asks worriedly.
"Yes, they know."
"Well, you and your sister are more than welcome to stay here" Mr Weasley smiling.
"Really?"
"Of course" Mrs Weasley says. "It will be nice having two more people around the house, well three, including Harry."
"Thank you, we promise to be good" then smiles at me.
We walk back into the kitchen just in time to see an owl flew into the window. "That will be Errol with the post. Oh Percy, fetch the post please" Mrs Weasley says. Percy nods and goes it get it, he takes the letters off the owl and looks at them.
"Oh look, it's our Hogwarts letter's, they have sent Harry's and Jade's as well" Percy says handing us our letters.
"Dumbledore must know you two are here, never misses a trick, that man" Mr Weasley smiling.
We open our letter and I read it to myself, there's a long list of books that we need, then I remember that I don't have any money. "what's wrong?" Harry asks.
I look at him. "I don't have any money."
"How did you pay for your things last year?" Ron asks.
"Hagrid got money out the Hogwarts vault at Gringotts" I say sighing a little.
Just then a key appears on the table. "What the -?"
"Wow" Grace says picking it up and looking at it. "Where did this key come from?" she asks.
"I do believe that that is your key to the Hogwarts vault" Mr Weasley says.
I take the key off Grace and hand it to him. "Can you look after it for me, because knowing me I will end up losing it."
"Of course I can" I smile at him.
"This lot won't come cheap mom, the spell books along are very expensive" Fred says. She looks at his letter over his shoulder, she looks worried, but it quickly changes to a smiling one.
"We will manage, there's only one place where we are going to get all this, Diagon Alley" she says smiling.
