Harry Potter - Salazar's Legacy
Chapter two
Harry merrily began packing his things while Ginny sat herself on his bed. "It seems we'll get out of here earlier this year Hedwig" he said to his snowy-white owl as he put her in her cage. He had only been at the Dursleys for a few weeks this summer. Dumbledore had finally given the Weasleys his consent to have Harry stay with them for almost the whole summer.
"Are you okay?" he said to Ginny who'd been quiet for a while. "I'm fine Harry, I'm just a little bit shocked." she said tiredly. "Well! I'm sure your next date with Dudley will go a lot better." Harry said smiling. "Haha! Very funny!" Ginny said and tried to quench her smile, but failed miserably. "I can't blame them though, you're very cute in your new makeover." he continued. He had intended for that last bit to sound very casual, but halfway through the sentence his voice had faltered. He blushed. "Thank you!" said Ginny with a little smile on her face. Now she was blushing too, and they both fell silent for a little while.
Harry lifted his loose floorboard and picked up some of Hagrid's bakery and gave it to Ginny with a wry look on his face, "Have you ever tried some of Hagrid's cooking? It's delicious,". "Yes, I have, you already tricked me into eating one of those before" she giggled. "You don't have to worry about food, I've got some with me in the car." She said with a mischievous grin on her face.
They sneaked out of his room and down the stairs into the hall where they ran into aunt Petunia who's face went absolutely distorted when she saw them. "Vernon! Vernon! They're leaving". Uncle Vernon came thundering down the hall shouting "How the hell are you going to get that car out from our driveway?". "Well, The normal way I guess, perhaps we can ask one of the neighbours to help us if we can't manage on our own" Harry replied. Ginny was afraid that uncle Vernon would literally explode after Harry had said this. So she took out her wand to calm things down a bit. "If there's anything wrong we can always move…" she didn't get to finish her sentence before both uncle Vernon and aunt Petunia both began screaming things that neither she nor Harry could make any sense of. Ginny had not yet been aware of the fact that one of the Dursleys greatest fears was to appear strange in front of their neighbours. After a while, one of uncle Vernon's and aunt Petunia's worst fears was in fact realized. The doorbell rang. They all went absolutely silent. Could it be the neighbours who had overheard them?
Uncle Vernon opened the door again, and to his surprise he found another girl on the other side whose round shape could only be surpassed by his own sons. "Hi!" She said with her voice trembling. "Is Dudley there?" she continued. Uncle Vernon was very confused, after pondering the situation for a little while he turned his head around and shouted, "is this your idea of a joke boy?" The girl obviously hadn't prepared herself for such treatment and instantly began to cry. Aunt Petunia went furious with Uncle Vernon. "Look at what you've done to the poor girl". "Go and get Dudley and tell him to get dressed again". "Oh, so this is your competition Ginny" Harry whispered. With that uncle Vernon ran upstairs and aunt Petunia took the little girl with her to the living room. Outside Harry began to laugh as he noticed that Ginny had parked a limousine on the driveway in a manner that would be impossible for a regular, normal, car. As uncle Vernon was nowhere to be seen they entered the enchanted car and flew away into the night.
Ginny had come to pick up Harry all by herself. How her overprotective family had allowed this was a total mystery for him. Of course, it was unlikely for anyone to get seriously hurt around the Dursley's. It was however likely to get seriously bored around them. This evening had been an exception of course.
The trip to the Burrow took them several hours. Mr. Weasley had enchanted the limousine to fly all by itself between the Burrow and the Dursley's, so it didn't need anyone to steer it. Harry told Ginny about some of the Owl's he had been receiving from Ron and Hermione over the summer and how impressed he was that they somehow managed to keep quarrelling with each other by correspondence. Ginny smiled at Harry and asked him if he had any idea why they would behave that way to each other all the time. Ginny told Harry that it was obvious that they were in love with each other. Harry didn't want to admit it, but Ginny might've had a point. Had she always been this perceptive?
After chatting, eating sandwiches, and drinking butter beers for a while. Ginny had made Harry pay tenfold for all his clever remarks by feeding him with the twins various new inventions. Before Harry fell asleep later during the trip to the Burrow, he remembered that aunt Petunia had collapsed when she had spotted Ginny, why had she cried "Lily"?
Harry awoke at the sound of the door opening, apparently they where already at the Burrow. The rest of the Weasleys had gathered themselves around the Limousine. "Ah! Harry's most fanatic supporter has kidnapped him in his sleep," said George with a smirk on his face. "I knew he'd fall for her one day," said Fred wiping an imaginary tear from his face. Ginny jumped out of the car and began to chase her brothers while thrusting her arms and legs wildly after them. As Harry jumped out of the car Mrs. Weasley trapped him in her arms, "We've been so worried about you Harry." She shot Mr. Weasley a menacing glare as she grabbed Ginny and said, "I can't believe Arthur sent poor little Ginny to pick you up all by herself". Ron and Hermione rescued Harry from Mrs. Weasley's arms. "Hi Harry! Sorry I couldn't come with you to the Dursleys. Dad thought it would be best if Ginny came by herself. I bet it went a lot smother this time too". Harry laughed as Ron said that. They all laughed and went into the kitchen together and ate dinner. The only ones missing were Percy, Bill and Charlie. As they ate Harry told the others about Ginny the temptress, they all laughed together, even Mrs. Weasley seemed to think it was very funny. Harry had noticed that Ron and Hermione had sat themselves together across the table from him. They had been almost inseparable the whole time. He gave Ginny a small smile, as she seemed to have noticed the same thing. Harry, Hermione and the Weasley children stayed up late in Ron's room that night and talked about their summer so far. When he asked Hermione about her visiting Krum in Bulgaria, Ron suddenly excused himself and went to the bathroom. Ginny and Harry once again shared a little smile together. Harry felt unbelievably happy that evening.
