The Train Ride

The 4 had boarded the Hogwarts Express for their very last time.  The lady cam

by with the food cart and they all enjoyed there last peaceful ride home.

Ron and Hermione were going back to Hogwarts at the beginning of the new term

and they were to be sharing a flat with harry and Mattie.

Harry and Mattie were goin to be staying in the flat until they were married

which was at the end of the summer.  They were then going to go find a flat of

there own in Brighton while Harry attended Aurors School.

Mattie was going to play quidditch for the Wilbourne Wasps for a little while

so that they had money to live off of while Harry went to School.

The train ride was not was not at all silent, the four talked about how they

were going to do with there new jobs and how fun there life was going to be over

the summer.

"You know what guys?"  Hermione said.

"What", all three of them exclaimed.

"I think we should all take a trip this summer, go somewhere exciting for the

heck of it, since it is our last summer as being just us."

Ron replied, "Ya know Hermione, I think that is excellent idea."

"Well that is a chance for once," Mattie snapped.

"HA HA" Ron relenquently replied.

"Now children lets not start this again," Harry said devishly. "Where exactly do

you think we should go?"

Hermione replied, "I think we should take a trip to the Americas, I mean, we

call apparate there pretty easily."

"That is a great idea!" the rest exclaimed.



The rest of the ride home was filled with excitement, as they talked about what

they would do when they got to America, but then it all settled down when they

all started to argue about when the should go.  They finally decided to go 2

weeks from today, so that they would all have time to get settled into there

flat.  Harry was so disappointed because he had to go to School in two days, as

soon as he thought this an owl had appeared at the window with a note.

Mr H. Potter:

We regret to inform you that you r date to attend Aurors School of Techniques

has been moved from June 11, to July 11 due to some difficulties we are having

with our staff.

Sincerely,

Nester  Diamondback

Head of Aurors School of Techniques

Harry did not say anything about this letter to his freinds becuase he thought

it wasnt that important because he still got to go on the trip and it didnt

really matter anyway.



They finally arrived to platform 9 3/4.  Mr. and Mrs. Weasley had found them a

nice four bedroom flat for them all to stay in for the summer.  They all

apparated to the flat to find the whole Weasley clan at the flat to welcome them

to there new home.

"Welcome to your new home!"exclaimed Arthur Weasley.

The appartment was already decorated with furniture and wallpaper and all the

houswares that they would need.

"You guys really did not have to do this, but its so nice of you."  Hermione

said weepily.

"Yes we did." said Fred and George, "All you guys are like family, i mean you do

spend enough time with us." Everyone laughed.

They all said thank you and all the Weasley's left so that the four could get

settled into there new home.  First they decided that they would all pick the

rooms that they were going to be in, but when the walked into the four rooms

they soon discovered that each was decorated for a specific person.

Ron's  had white walls with orange boarder.  His queen size bed had an orange

comforter on it with matching pillow cases.  His pet owl Pig,was already in the

room in his cage and started screeching madly as soon as Ron walked in to the

room.  Rons bedroom was also nearest to the kitchen since we all know how much

Ron loves to eat, and his family obviously knew this too.

Hermiones room was the next room to the right of Ron's.  It had light purple

wallpaper and her queen sized bed had a dark purple comforter with light purple

pillow cases and flower pillows on the bed.  Arthur Weasley had especially made

a magical bookcase that did not take up that much space so that Hermione could

put all of her many books in it.  It was bewitched so that she coul fit all the

books in the world, in it with no problem at all.  It also had a drafting desk

since Hermione absolutely loves to study.

Mattie's room was to the right of Hermiones and had light blue walls, with a

dark blue and light blue border around the top.  Her bed had a comforter that

matched the border and deep blue pillow cases.  She had Smiley face pillow on

her bed also.  Around the room the Weasleys had placed an assortment of muggle

balls and sports things, for Mattie absolutely loved all sports, muggle and

magic.  In her room there was also a present from the Weasleys.  She found it

and opened it to find a brand new Firebolt 2002.

"Oh my gosh." Mattie said surprised.

"Its from all of us." Hermione replied.  "We figured since you are going to be

joining the big leagues that you would need a broom to keep up with the rest of

them."

"It is top of the line, its even better than Harry's broom." Ron snickered.

"Thanks for rubbing it in Ron."  Harry said sarcastically.

Mattie said thanks to them all and they went in to look at Harry's room which

was to the right of Mattie's.

Harry's room was done in forest green and had a beautiful solid oak bed.  The

comforter was a dark green and fitted Harry's tastes perfectly, he figured Mrs.

Weasley picked it out since of Harry's emerald green eyes.  In his room was also

a gift.

"And what is this?"Harry asked.

"It is a present from Ron and I." Hermione replied.  " It is for both you and

Mattie, sort of a pre-wedding gift i guess."

Mattie walked over to open it with Harry.  They finally got it opened and both

looked up shocked and surprised.

There were two identical solid gold key rings that looked like snitches, with an

identical key on each of them.

"What is this."  Harry asked.

"You see the neighbors across the street from us were very kind to tell Ron and

i that they were going to be moving out this winter because they are a very old

couple and they dont like the cold weather and..." Hermione was cut off by Ron.

"Hermione, they want to hear what it is sometime this century." Ron snickered.

"The couple will be leaving and they are going to sell the house but we told

them to sell it to us and that we would happily buy it.  We figured you guys

wouldnt mind living across from us for a while after you to got married."  Ron

smiled.

Mattie answered, "You guys have thought of everything. And I am absolutley

overjoyed that you did it, and if i am correct i am sure Harry does too."

"Of course i do,"Harry replied, "Me and Ron wont have to miss talking about

quidditch and i can practice beating him at wizards chess."

"You guys are terrible." Hermione said.

Ron retorted and smiled, "We know."

The 4 had now been settled into there home together for the time being and all

went to bed in there new rooms after there long day full of tons of surprises.
