Chapter 6: the magical festival
The next morning, Mrs. Weasley woke everyone up early in the morning for a surprise. He never told them where they were going. After they ate breakfast, they all took floo powder to diagon alley. This time, for once, the floo powder worked, and Harry ended up where he wanted to be. As they got onto the streets of diagon alley, people were walking around rather quickly in one direction, north. "Where are we going mum?" Ginny asked excitedly. "YOU all are going to the magical festival. I'm getting all your things for the school year." Mrs. Weasley explained. "It hasn't been in town for a long time, and it ends before school starts. so you better get a move on." Mrs. Weasley added.
"cool!" Ginny smiled. They all went with the crowd up north. They all went into little carriages holding families up to 15. the weasleys' all got into one carriage with Harry. As son as they got in, and the door closed, they all became very tired. "We're being abducted!" Ron yawned. "No we aren't. this makes the trip short. It's a long time till we get there. It's just sleeping potion. have a nice rest boys, and girls." Mr. Weasley said as he tucked himself into a corner. But for some reason, it didn't affect Harry or Ron. "Why aren't I all of a sudden not tired?" Ron asked as he looked at everyone else. They were all sleeping. "I dunno. maybe it back fired." Harry suggested. "Hope not. this will be too long of a ride." Ron blurted as he peered out the window.
There was nothing outside the window at that moment, but then it became a huge atmosphere of ice and snow. "Where are we going?" Harry asked. "I dunno. never been there before. And why are we going another way than everyone else?" Ron asked pointing to all the other carriages going the other way. "I dunno." Harry replied. They both began to look out the window when they both felt a wet mist hit there backs. They both turned and grabbed there wands. The expression on there faces were bewildered. In front of them, real as real can be, was the one and only Avalon O'Connell, back from the dead living and kicking. "Da. da. da. isn't that Avalon!?" Ron asked looking at Harry. Harry was looking at Avalon with his mouth opened. "uh-huh" Harry replied nodding. "Hey." Avalon said smiling. The mist left the carriage. "Avalon.. .your dead." Harry said getting closer to Avalon to see if she was real or not.
"No.. .actually, the undead. I blew off heaven for awhile to kick back and hang with you guys. It's cool up there, but they said I get one wish for being a guardian. I wished to come back to life and protect you that way." Avalon explained. "Protect me?" Harry asked. "From the death eaters, and lord voldemort, that stuff." Avalon replied. "Please don't say his name!" Ron muttered. "sorry." Avalon replied. "Anyways. I can't stay long, have to go pack, meetin you all up at hogwarts. This will be so cool! And you have to get this carriage back into it's rightful spot in line at the festival, and get some rest guys. it's a long trip." Avalon explained. Harry and Ron soon began to feel tired.
"Avalon.. wait." Harry said before he fell to the seat. "It can wait." Avalon replied as she disappeared. When Harry woke up, he and Ron were just arriving at the festival. "Ron. did you?" Harry asked. "Avalon?" Ron asked. "Yea." Harry replied. Ron nodded. "Weird." Harry thought as they both got out and met up with the weasleys. "wow your carriage was late." Fred thought. "Traffic." Ron said quickly. "Lets go ride some rides." Ron suggested. "Ok. let's split up. Harry, Ron, Fred, and George, stay together. Me, Ginny, and where's Alex Ginny?" Mr. Weasley asked. "Here she comes!" Ginny shouted pointing to a girl little bit shorter than Ginny with dark brown short hair and brown eyes. "There she is. She and Ginny, and me, and the Williams, will go around. Meet here in 5 hours." Mr. Weasley explained. "Who's Alex and the Williams?" Harry asked as they parted. "Ginny's friend from hogwarts. She's a hufflepuff, they met in some class, and her last name is Williams." Ron explained.
they hurry off to ride some flying around roller coasters. "Wow. this place is cool." Harry thought as they went to a stand and bought changing color cotton candy. The whole night was magical. There were fire works and music. But all night, Harry was thinking about Avalon, and his counter with her in the carriage. Was it a dream? Can she really be back? His thoughts were distracted my Fred's laughing. Harry went back to reality and saw that they had met up with lee Jordan, Fred and George's best friend. "Why. if is isn't the famous potter having some fun." Harry and Ron turned around to see malfoy, accompanied with his followers, crabbe and goyle. "Go away malfoy." Ron sneered. "Shut up weasley, surprised you had enough money to even get here. did you have to beg?" malfoy asked obviously enjoying himself.
"Eat dung malfoy!" Harry shouted. "I'm just wonderin. or did potter here have to lend you some?" malfoy asked. Suddenly, smoke began to come from malfoy's back. "What the?" malfoy asked looking behind him. He had something sticky hooked on his back. "EW! Gross! What smells?" a girl asked as she walked by and saw that it was malfoy and ran away laughing. Fred and George, and lee began to laugh hysterically as well. Ron and Harry began to laugh as well. George snuck a box into Harry's hand when it was free. Harry and Ron stopped laughing to see what it was. It was flubber smell, make your enemies and friends stick till they can take it off. Made by the weasleys'. "You made that stuff?" Harry asked. Fred and George nodded and began to laugh again.
Mad, malfoy, followed by crabbe and goyle trying to get the gunk off, walked away. After 5 hours had come, they all went back to the meeting area Mr. Weasley had set up. Later, they all decided to take a port key back to the burrow to save time. when they got back to the burrow, Mrs. Weasley was already in bed, and she had already bough everything for school. The next day was the hogwarts express, so Mr. Weasley made them all go to bed.
The next morning, Mrs. Weasley woke everyone up early in the morning for a surprise. He never told them where they were going. After they ate breakfast, they all took floo powder to diagon alley.
