5th
Year Sorrows Part 3
Harry bolted down the steps and
into the kitchen where Sirius was now standing.
"Sirius," he said, catching his
breath, "Hedwig's gone. I can't get a hold of Ron."
"Well, this will make things
hard, very hard."
"I know. What do we do now?"
"I should probably just take you
to King's Cross myself, but..." just then Hedwig came soaring through the
window. She had a note and a very small bag.
The note said,
Harry,
Mum and Dad just realized that
it'd be too hard for you guy to get here in time, so they told me to send you
this.
Ron
Inside the bag was- Floo Powder!
"Brilliant!" said Harry, as he
looked in side. "They sent Floo Powder!"
"That'll make things a whole lot
easier," said Sirius, examining the bag. "Now, you'd better get some sleep,
we're getting up early tomorrow."
Harry walked upstairs to find it
was already 11:30. Where were the Dursleys?
**
It was 5:30 when Harry got up
the next morning. Sirius was downstairs pacing around the kitchen (I don't know
if they have different name for the rooms in England, so everything will pretty
much take place in the kitchen, since I can't use the bathroom!) and the
Dursleys still weren't back. Harry got dressed, Put Hedwig in here cage, and
packed up his truck. He would've told Hedwig to go to Hogwarts, but he might
need her...
An hour later, Harry, his trunk,
and a covered owl cage, was stepping into the fire, shouting, "The Burrow!"
with Sirius following behind.

"Harry, glad you got here in
time!" shouted Mrs. Weasley, a minute later. When Sirius came in, she slowly
walked into the other room.
"Hey Harry, Sirius!" yelled Ron,
as he walked into the room. Then came Hermione; she must've been staying at the
Weasleys, too, and she just smiled. When Ginny came in to see what all the commotion was, she shrieked and
ran out. She must not have known Sirius was innocent. On the other hand, Fred
and George were a different story.
"Brilliant! We've heard you and
James were the biggest troublemakers in Hogwarts, and we're the second!" said
Fred
"Yes, and what Harry and Ron
told us, you helped write the Maurader's Map," explained George, "and that map
is the key to our success."
