Harry spun in circles and soon he got very dizzy. He saw different fireplaces as he traveled and saw Ron. He passed Ron but then moved down. Harry slid onto a hardwood floor in a small kitchen.
" Harry! You made it! I thought you would get lost again," Ron looked down at Harry and pulled him up.
" Yeah, I thought I passed you. But for a second I think I saw the Dursely's fireplace!" Harry fixed his glasses and stood up. Before Ron could say anything, Mrs. Weasely came running up to the two boys.
" There you are Ron! I was getting worried!" Mrs. Weasely looked at Harry. " Oh! Harry, you've grown! How are you dear?"
" I'm fine thank you. Mr. Weasely is coming in a few minutes. He said he needed to talk about something very urgent with Serena." Mrs. Weasely tried to look puzzled, you could tell.
" Oh, he should be home though. Breakfast will be ready any minute now!" She hurried off to the kitchen. Harry stared at his watch. It read 8:00. Ron walked behind his mother and called Harry to come too.
Mrs. Weasely set bacon, pancakes, and toast on the table. Everybody came downstairs and started to eat. Mr. Weasely arrived as well. There was much chatter during breakfast and everybody was enjoying their meal. Ginny, Ron's sister, was still very taken by Harry. She blushed every time he looked at her.
" Ron and Ginny! Today is your turn to plant the gardens. Harry can come along if you would like. Make sure they are dandelions and daffodils. Add red tulips if you want. Go along now, hurry up!" Mrs. Weasely gathered their things while Fred and George took Harry's things upstairs.
" Mum says that everybody needs to take turns doing 'garden work'. Says it's good for us. Want to come along then?" Ron led Ginny to the garden.
" Yeah, sure. I need to get outside," Harry followed them outside. The sun was shining for about an hour and then it started to rain. Ron was mad at the weather because he planned to play Quidditch with Harry later on in the afternoon.
" It's all right Ron. The weather will turn up later on," Harry said, trying to make Ron feel better. " Lets play a game of chess. It'll clear our minds," Ron agreed and so they started their game. An hour later, Ron was in the lead with one move until 'checkmate'. Harry found a perfect move to block Ron and to win at the same time. But let Ron beat him so that he could cheer up.
" Yes! I beat Harry...finally!" Ron jumped up and ran around the house until five o' clock. Harry was tired and stuffed after their dinner.
" I'm going upstairs, you coming?" Ron asked Harry.
" Yeah, in a while. I'll stay down here for a few minutes," Harry intended to look around the house more in those few minutes. It was the only magical house (apart from Serena's house) that he's ever been in. Not counting his parents' either.
Suddenly, there was a movement outside a window. It looked like something that was winged. The figure looked very dark and therefor scary. As it approached, Harry could make out the outline of the object. He looked harder and saw that it was...Hedwig! She finally arrived after a couple of hours. Harry smiled and patted Hedwig. She had something on her leg and it was addressed to Mr. Harry Potter. Harry ripped the envelope open and saw the Hogwarts seal. There was the usual letter and then there was the list of supplies. Harry decided to read it when he woke up the next morning. He tried to quietly climb the stairs but the floor just seemed to be creaking every step he took.
Harry got to Ron's door and checked his watch. It said: 8:30. Harry didn't want to stay up too late so he went into the room and changed into pajamas. Harry lay into the sleeping bag and drifted into sleep.
