It hadn't been more than a minute before Harry landed at the Burrow falling out of the fireplace before Molly Weasley spotted him and began fussing.
"Harry! Welcome home. You must be famished, your all skin and bones. Are the muggles feeding you well?" Not waiting for a reply she ushered him towards the kitchen table where she magiced some pancakes in front of him. Harry began to eat and was about to reply before Arthur Weasley stumbled out of the fireplace. "Don't forget to use the soot brush dear," added Mrs. Weasley.
"Yes dear," he said with a smile. Just then there was a big bang coming from the Weasley twins' room that was later followed by screams and laughter.
Yelling Molly Weasley went to the stairs, "What did I tell you about making that racket?" she screamed. "And I swear, if you make more of those experiments of yours there will be trouble. You don't know what type of accidents you can create with your carelessness!
"But Mother," replied Fred.
"How do you expect us," said George.
"To create a business," commented Fred.
"If we don't have the occasional," replied George.
"Accident," they both replied at the same time as they came down the stairs.
"I don't, you can easily work at the Ministry like your brother Percy. It's honest work just like your father," Mrs. Weasley said with a look that clearly stated you know I'm right so don't argue.
They both grumbled before spotting Harry. "Harry old chap how's it been," they said at the same time. Harry was about to reply before the front doors burst open with Ron, Hermione, and Ginny screaming, "Is he here yet!?!"
Hermione was the first to spot him, "Harry! How was your summer, the muggles treating you well?" she asked. "Have you done your summer homework yet? Because if you didn't then you're not alone, she started to shake her head, "Ron hasn't even begun!"
'Typical Hermione, Harry thought. "Yeah everything is fine, apart from Vernon leaving Aunt Petunia," he said.
"Oh dear commented Mrs. Weasley. Is the poor thing alright," she asked.
"I think she'll be alright in the long run, although at the moment I think she is stunned and in denial," Harry supplied. "It's not like she was in a healthy relationship with him, ignoring all the signs that he was being unfaithful- well you get what I mean," Harry stopped while he was ahead not wanting to explain his families problems more than he had to.
There was an awkward silence after that before being broken by none other than Ginny Weasely. "Y-you know Harry," she stumbled blushing lightly, "there's a Wizards Carnival in town"
"Yeah," interrupted Ron while Ginny frowned, "We were just thinking about going when you arrived. So what do you say? I here Wizard Carnivals are so much fun."
"What you never been to one," asked Hermione.
"No, the Ministry discourages wizards and witches to go to those things because the type of people who run them," supplied Mr. Weasley, "I'm not even sure I want you kids to go."
"But people go right?" asked Harry. "So why do they discourage Wizard Carnivals?"
"Because they are run by Gypsies, Harry" upon seeing his interest was peeked, continued. "That in and of itself is almost as being named and branded a Dark Wizard. Some say it is even worse due to certain beliefs," supplied Mrs. Weasley.
Harry himself started to get uncomfortable, remembering his dream and if there was any truth behind it, then he could be considered a Gypsy through his father's side which he didn't mind at all. He liked the idea of having a cultural identity that he could participate in by celebrating it through its customs and traditions.
"It's two sided in a way because, they aren't really accepted by either side, because of their use of dark magic they aren't accepted by light wizards, and by dark wizards in some cases, they are considered worse then muggle born witches and wizards," Mr. Weasley commented." Hermione snorted at this last comment. "They are considered like the black sheep of the wizarding community besides the regular dark wizards."
"So what are you saying, we can't go?" whined Fred and George.
"Now we didn't say that, but when you do go, we want you to be careful. Keep your wits about you," Mr. Weasley said. "Maybe Percy could chaperone you."
"Percy! Mother we're going for fun not punishment!" Said an outraged Ron with the Weasley twins nodding their heads emphatically.
"We're old enough not to have Perfect Percy following us around!" the twins complained
"Well ok! But someone will be checking up on you. Oh," she looked at Ron, Ginny, Hermione, and Harry, "Stay together and no wandering off by yourselves."
"Yes Ma'am" they replied at once walking out the door towards where the carnival was taking place.
"So how are we going to get there," asked Harry?
"Well you see that's the best part," said Ron but was interrupted by the Weasley twins in the old Angelina.
"Are you guys coming or not?" supplied Fred or George.
"I hope you guys have your licenses," Hermione cut in while climbing in the back seat. "I still want to make it to Hogwarts. It wouldn't be right for a prefect to start off the year setting a bad example for the other students, especially when school hasn't even started!"
"WHAT?" screamed everyone, "You're a prefect?"
"Congratulations," said Harry quietly. "When did you find out?"
"Two days ago and thank you," she replied.
Ron grumbled before being elbowed in the side by Harry. He gave him a ruthful look. "I guess it's of, just as long as you don't go all Percy on us. The only bright side to you being a prefect is you can take points away from Slytherin," he said confidently.
"It's a said day today, isn't Fred," asked George.
"Yes after all our hard work," said George.
"All the detentions,"
"Don't forget Howler's."
"And yet, we still lose one"
"Damn that Percy!" they both said "For setting an example!"
"But maybe she isn't lost, she can still turn," they looked at Hermione with hopeful looks before they were both slapped on the back of their heads by Ginny.
"Hey! Let's go before I turn you into little Percy's!" said Ginny.
And with that they were off to visit a Wizard's Carnival.
