'HARRY?' They heard Mr.Weasley repeat as the sound of crunching gravel indicated that he was stepping towards them faster, in a more urgent pace.
Ginny let out a small squeal and let go of her mums hand, running to the door and sticking her head out side.
'ITS REALLY HIM!' she shouted, grinning from ear to ear, she ran back to her mum, who looked flabbergasted and gave her a huge hug,' He's OK!' she smiled than ran back to the door.
Hermione lifted her head from Ron's shoulder and looked at him in disbelief.
'It-it can't be..' she said unsure, moving to stand up and accidentally kneeling Ron in the..um..ya...
Ron let out a pained gasp and kneeled over off his chair.
Ginny grinned even wider,' I know Ron! I can't believe it either!' she exclaimed hopping from foot to foot.
Hermione rushed to the door and opened it just in time to see Mr.Weasley, Harry and the Dursleys stepping into the light from the door way (and the fairies that lived in the shrub along side the house).
The Dursleys looked plainly affright, Mrs.Dursley was clutching her husband as if he were her life support, both their eyes darted back and forth looking around in panic and horror.
Dudley walked beside his parents, as pale as ever and seemed to be fighting away tears and looking up at everyone, clutching his humongous backside remembering the time he was shot with a curse by Hagrid, the gamekeeper, forcing a thin, spirally pigs tail to grow from his bottom.
Harry stood ahead of them all, his black hair as messy as ever and his scar on his head was...bleeding.
'Oh Harry!' Hermione cried, she kicked open the door all the way and ran out to him, grasping him in a tight hug.
'What happened?' she asked, putting her arm around him, completely ignoring the Dursleys frightened gasps and Dudleys loud, wailing sob he finally let out. Hermione followed Mr.Weasley into the kitchen, guiding a very shook up Harry.
Ron finally got ahold of himself and walked to Harry, who was being crowded by the minister, Mr.Weasley and the men the the pale violet robes.
Ginny was jumping around all the guys trying to get a good look at him, but didn't succeed.
Now every person who was in the living room (or for Fred and George, in their bed room) was in the kitchen. The kitchen buzzed with confusion and excitement, half the ministry rushed towards the crowd around Harry, slowly pushing Ginny away.
'Ay!' she yelled, kicking the nearest guy that pushed past her,' Let me- let me see my friend-'
'GINNY!' Mrs.Weasley said, grabbing her by the collar of her robes and pulling her into the living room, Ron and hermione followed involuntarily as the final few men pushed their way into the kitchen causing them to be thrown out.
'Lets just wait here until the confusion has died down, alright?' she said leading a shaken Ginny to the couch and siting down herself.
They all sat there in silence for a few moments, (sometime during those few moments, Rons' hand managed to find Hermione's) listening to the squabble that came from the kitchen, the 'POFT' sound of more wizards apparating and the sounds of loud sobbing on Dudleys part.
'DON'T TOUCH ME!' they heard him wail,' M-MUMMIE!'
Ron broke the tense silence by making an unrecognizable sound that sounded like a loud snort and a cough.
Mrs.Weasley turned her head and raised her eyebrows at Ron disapprovingly, she tut'ed than stood up, surprising everyone, and marched straight into the kitchen.
A few moments later, Harry and his family were lead into the living room by the minister, who gestured for them to sit down as the other wizards apparated back to the office.
Dudley had seemed to calmed down and was rubbing his eyes sleepily and leaning against his mum who still sat stiff with shock, clutching to her husbands arm.
Mr.Dursley sat stiff, not with shock, but with anger and kept glancing angrily at Harry.
Harry, did not look well at all, his scar was now merely a bloody scab, puffed around the edges and swollen.
Infact... Harry didn't look much like Harry anymore.
Besides the difference in his scar, there had been a difference in his voice when he spoke, his voice was now the sullen sound of thunder, deep and loud.
His eyes were stormy gray, not green, and his skin was as pale as milk.
Ron caught sight of Ginny edging closer to her mum, staring at Harry with fright, she kept her eyes locked into his and kept her face stone- still.
Ron felt a tug on his hand and looked up to see Hermione looking at him worriedly.
He nodded at her and pulled her closer, putting his arm around her shoulders.
At that moment, the minister stood up and gathered his things.
'As you all know, Harry and his family has been put through a horrible misfortune and I do want you all to keep a close eye on them-' they could see the minister nodding his head ever so slightly towards Harry, indicating to keep a special watch on him,'- I will be back this after noon to check on them and I suggest you all get some rest now-' He moved towards the fire and threw in some floo powder,'- Good day!' with a tip of his hat he yelled,' TO THE MINISTRY DEPARTMENT' and vanished.
There was a tense moment of silence before Mr.Weasley stood up,' Alright, this is what I want to happen, I want the dursleys to stay in the living room for a moment so we can talk and I want Dudley-' Dudley perked up when he heard his name,'- Ron, Ginny, Harry and Hermione to follow me downstairs, I want you all to stay the night down there and watch over each other, is that clear?'
Everyone nodded silently and stood up, following Mr.Weasley downstairs.
'My Dudders will not be going!' Mrs.Dursley exclaimed, she put a protective arm around Dudley and kept him in his place.
Dudley didn't seem to happy about this because he was eyeing Hermione rather sickly and seemed to want to get as near to her as he could.
'Well, this will be for Dudleys own good mrs.Dursley, to-to keep him safe...' Mr.Weasley said poking his head up from the stair case, ' Now if you would please let Dudley follow us, I assure you he will be just fine.'
Mrs.Dursley hesitated for a moment, then wrapped Dudley in a huge hug and planted several kisses on his forehead and cheek before letting him go.
Dudley ran for the stair case, pushing past Mr.Weasley.
He eye'd Hermione right away, who was standing next to Ron ( and to Dudleys disappointment, holding hands) who was next to Harry.
He didn't really care about Harry, he wasn't quite sure what had happened last night, all he remembered was a bunch of green light and a weird shape in the sky.. perhaps a firework?
His mum and dad were really shook up , as so was he, but not as quite as Harry was.
~*Flash back*~
*9:00pm*
'Mummie, can't I stay up a little while longer? the Monty Python is 'bout over-' Dudley argued,'- Just a bit more..'
Mrs.Dursley looked up from her knitting and turned her glistening eyes towards her son and smiled,' Of course dear, but beddie time after wards, alright sweetums?'
Dudley nodded smiling ever so sweetly, but when he turned and faced Harry his eyes gleamed as he frowned, looking at Harry for a tense moment.
'Mummie, make Harry go to bed,' he said blandly, keeping a piercing stare on Harry.
'Harry go to bed,' Mr.Dursley barked from behind his evening news paper, he folded it in half and set it aside.
'Get a move on! its late!'
Harry looked towards Dudley than to Mr.Dursley, ' But its only nine O'clock...can't I stay up until Dudley goes to bed?.. its only fair-'
He was cut off by a rustling sound from outside.
Mr.Dursley didn't seem to notice but stared him down, as if daring him to go on.
'You were saying something about fairness I believe?' he persuaded.
Just then a loud powerful sound burst through the door and in one loud bang, the door knocked over revealing a very fidgety rat in the door way.(A/N; OK, I have read all the books like 3-4 times but I still dont remember all the facts so if Pettigrew IS dead than, well.. just use your imagination on this one! :P ).
Mrs.Dursley dropped her knitting and shrieked like there was no tomorrow, standing up on the coffee table, knocking down her tea.
Mr.Dursley stood up screaming something awful at Harry, suspecting him to have done some kind of magic, causing the door to knock down and a rat appear (which was his wife's worst fear).
Harry, however wasn't listening to a word of Mr.Dursleys shouts, or Mrs.Dursleys shrieks and yelps, or even Dudley's scampering up the stair case, yelling something about a mad monkey man and Spam (too much Monty Python..im thinking..).
Harry was staring at the Rat, horrified.
The Rat looked oddly familiar...so familiar infact...
'P-PETTER PETTIGREW?!' he shouted, making a mad dash towards him.
Before Harry could reach towards him, pettigrew transformed into him self, a short, bald, greedy old man with a huge Dark Mark sign tattooed on the side of his arm (though you could not see it through the thickness of his dark black robes).
Mrs.Dursley shrieked for all her life was worth and ran straight out of the room into the hall closet.
Dudley, who had been watching from the top steps on the stair case ran off (but not before yelling, 'SPAM!').
All that was left was Mr.Dursley who had turned a sickly colour of spoiled milk, and Harry; who was down on the floor, clutching his head and grunting with pain.
'Yes..Harry Potter...-' he whispered, stepping closer to him, clutching something inside his coat pocket,' I can't believe we are meeting again...so close I am to you..'
Pettigrew bent down near Harry, so close that Harry could smell his breath against his face.
His breath smelled of blood and dirt....
He fumbled for something in the pocket of his robes and pulled out a large chunk of a crystal stone.
'Lord; I've brought you straight to Harry Potter himself, straight to his house,' Pettigrew shouted loudly, holding the stone flat in his hand as it glowed bright green.
The green light grew brighter and brighter until...
*End of Flash Back*
Dudley watched as Hermione led Harry carefully over to one (of the many) couches and helped him sit down.
'Harry you must've been through a horrid lot...-' she started, but was cut off shortly with a quick nudge from Ron.
