The sun was shining brighter than ever and that was enough to wake up
Harry. As he got dressed, Ron told him that Hermione was coming today to
stay with them.
" Really? Is she going to come now or later?" Harry stopped putting the other sock on to hear Ron's reply.
" Well, Mum says that her parents couldn't drive her here so, Dad is going to get her. They're traveling by portkey. I reckon Dad's going to get in Hermione in about thirty minutes. So he will be there at around 10:30," Ron said. He was already dressed and was opening the door.
" 10:30? That means that right now is ten o'clock! I slept a lot..." a surprised Harry walked after Ron out the door.

There was a crash in George and Fred's room. Yelling was followed by that.
" Fred and George Weasely! How dare you test your 'Blowing Bubble Gum' in this house! You are so lucky that a hole didn't appear in you mouth! You are grounded for a week!" Mrs. Weasely stomped angrily out the door but paused to greet Ron and Harry.
" Good Morning Harry! You slept well?"
" Yes, I did. Thank you for asking," Harry and Ron went downstairs to a fresh aroma of toast, butter, bacon, cheese, and cauldron cakes. Ron was already seated and eating. Harry sat next to Ron and started to dig in.
" Hoot! Hoot! Hoot!" an owl that Harry did not recognize arrived at the Weasely's table.
" Hello Thorel, what have you got there?" Ron took a bunch of letters that was from Hogwarts. Harry took his list out from his pocket and explained to Ron how he got his last night.
" Mum, these books for Defense against the Dark Arts books are not exactly going to come too expensive. Who do you reckon is going to be the new teacher this year?" Fred said, his mouth full with food.
" Whoever it is, they should last for a while because the person who took this position is one tough professor. Nobody would take that position except Snape!" Ron said and made a point that everybody saw and agreed to.
Mr. Weasely stood up and took his wizard hat.
" I must leave now, Hermione is waiting for me...don't eat all of that food at once George!" With that, he left. Everybody finished breakfast after Mr. Weasely left. Ron went upstairs to get his broomstick. When he came down, Harry noticed that Ron got a new broom!
" Harry, meet my new Nimbus 2003! I got it for a 'present' when I came back from Hogwarts. Oh, and I brought your broomstick too," Harry congratulated Ron with much praise. Fred and George had already went outside with their set of equipment. George had a quaffle in his hand and passed it to Fred. Harry and Ron took this as a hint to join them. So, they played for a long time.
Harry noticed that Ron's Quidditch skills were much better. Ron had lots of strategies and knew how to use the speed on his broomstick. But his skills weren't enough to beat Harry.
" Boys! Come inside, today we have to do a lot of work, we're off to Diagon Alley," Mrs. Weasely was standing in the doorway, tapping her foot and looking very inpatient. Harry hadn't realized that there was only three more days left until they had to board the Hogwarts Express to school. Fred and George collected the things and the four left the field and went inside.
" Everybody take what you need and we'll leave! Ron you go after Ginny. Then Fred and George. Harry you go before Hermione," Mrs. Weasely bustled them to the fireplace so Harry and Ron didn't have a chance to talk to Hermione yet. As Harry stepped into the fireplace, he started to shiver and then, he wasn't so sure if he could handle using the Floo Powder again. But his shaky hand took the powder and swirled off into darkness.
