Early the next morning, Harry was up far before the rest of the Weasly
family. Harry sped down the stairs two at a time. Half way down, (next to
Ginny's room), Harry tripped and rolled all the way down the remaining 3
flights. As he rolled into the living room, he collapsed into a heap on
the floor, laughing his head off.
"Hehehehehe....." Harry stopped laughing immediatly. Something made that evil laugh, and for some reason, Harry had the distinct feeling he heard that voice before. Pulling out his wand, Harry slowly advanced into the kitchen. There, he found a found a peace of parchment. Written on it, it said,
**************************************************************************** ******
Harry, We can't put in the amount of information we want to in this letter. We can't tell you who we are. But we can tell you this much, and hope you figure it out on your own. We are not dead.
With Love,
T & P
**************************************************************************** ******
The envelope had been stamped with a crest of two stags crossing antlers. Harry was confused. Who was T & P? Why were they telling him they weren't dead? And how did the letter get here?
Later that day, Mrs. Weasly was watering her garden, and Harry, Ron, Fred, George, and Ginny were playing quidditch together in a makeshift pitch. Ron and Fred were playing George and Ginny. Harry was on neither team, and was trying to catch apples Mr. Weasly was throwing up at him. For every one he caught, the losing team would gain ten points. For every one he missed, the losing team would lose ten points. In the end, when the game was called off because the watering hose went haywire and began soaking everyone outside, the score was Ron and Fred: 920, George and Ginny: 930.
Once inside, when everyone sat around the table for cocoa, and Mrs. Weasly had began making dinner, Mr. Weasly made a startling discovery. He was sipping his hot cocoa, when his chair gave way and collapsed under him. Harry immediatly glanced at Fred and George, wondering if they gave him a Fatty Fudge. Ginny's extra weight had long scince dissapeared, as Fred and George noticed that their creation was temporary, so it was more than a possibility that had used their father as an extra test. But when Harry looked at Mr. Weasly, he saw that he was as skinny as ever. But then Harry noticed that the chair was dissapearing into thin air. Then the table. Then the walls themselves.
"Starvmites!" Mr. Weasly shouted.
"What are---"
"Everyone, to the fireplace NOW!" Mr. Weasly bellowed.
When Mr. Weasly reached the fireplace, he pulled out his wand. "LACARNUM INFLAMARAY!"
The fireplace burst with fire. Mr. Weasly threw in the entire floo powder container into the flames. He stepped in and said, "Everyone, follow my lead...Diagon Alley!"
With that said, he whooshed out of sight. Every one climbed in, and Harry was the last one left. He turned aroud to glimpse the Burrow before his unexpected leave, and to his astonishment, everything made of wood was gone. Harry jumped into the flames and screamed, "DIAGON ALLEY!!!"

Two weeks later, everything needed in the house that was destroyed was replaced. Harry and the two adults were the only ones that still had their wands, so the others all got new ones. The weasly's bought a nice new house, though they couldn't move into it until after summer break. Everyone was staying in the Leaky Cauldron, and Harry, Ron, and Ginny were planning on going to the library today to look up their family's crest. On their way there, they met their fellow schoolmate, Neville Longbottom, who was also going to look up his family's crest. At first Harry didn't know why Ron, Ginny, or Neville didn't know their family's crest, but Neville said his was lost with with his parents, and Ron and Ginny didn't want to put any more pressure on their parents by asking. As they turned the corner, Neville said that he didn't actually want to be part of the tournament, but his gran made him. Then they saw the Library, and both Neville and Ginny fainted at the sight of it.
