Harry looked anxiously out the window, across the road and into the rain. He groaned, any chances of an owl from Ron or Hermione would be greatly minimized.. The rain was good, after the drought they needed it. Still Harry wished it would somehow go away, long enough for an owl to get through. He sighed and turned to the television, watching the ten o:clock news. He still did this, in hope of seeing something, anything, that might hint at what Voldemort was up to. "Stupid Muggles" He grumbled, not really meaning it. He had made friends with some muggles over the summer. Since his Aunt and Uncle mostly ignored him, he could do whatever he pleased, including talking to the neighbors. He sighed and opened the window so Hedwig could get in if she came back, glad for the overhang on the roof of the house that was keeping the rain out. Then he changed into his Pajamas and went to bed.
In the middle of the night he was awakened by Hedwig, she nipped at his face and screeched.
"SHHHH! You'll wake- actually who cares? They're to scared of me to do anything about it" He grinned, speaking half to himself. Hedwig impatiently stretched her foot in front of Harry's face, waiting for him to untie the letter attached to it. He did so and Hedwig fluttered into her cage. Harry opened up the letter and read:
Harry,
Sorry this took so long to get there, I wanted it to arrive in the middle of the night. Get your things and meet us by that park close to your house. We figure we best keep up the tradition of stealing you away from the muggles in the summer.
-Ron
Harry smiled, than stopped. He was happy to be leaving the Dursleys, but seeing so many of the people who had been there last term.... that would be hard. He really had no choice though. In ten minutes he was sitting on a swing at the park, his school things next to him. Suddenly he heard a voice,
"Shhhh! Ginny, you'll wake the muggles!" He searched the sky, and sure enough three figures on broomsticks were coming towards him.
"Ron! Ginny! Fred! Over here!" Harry hissed. The three landed and hurried towards him. "Fred what are you doing here? I thought you were living above your store! Where's George?"
"Hello to you too Harry!" Fred said with a grin."you lot can't use magic, that's what I'm here for, George is at the burrow, we're visiting for a bit. Hermione's there too." With that he turned to Harry's trunk and began putting charms on it.
"Hey Harry, good to see you mate!" Ron exclaimed and clapped him on the shoulder. Harry smiled at him and turned to Ginny who was approaching to give Harry a hug.
"Hi Harry!" She grinned up at him. "How did you guys know that this park is here?" Harry questioned, as he mounted his Firebolt.
"I noticed it four years ago when we came to get you," Fred answered, "Thought it might come in handy-there! I've attached your trunk to your broomstick and put a charm on it so it's lighter, let Hedwig out of her cage, she can fly along side us, lets go." He put a spell on them to keep the rain away. And with that all four of them took off into the sky, Harry's trunk trailing behind them, along with Hedwig's cage.
They had been going for about ten minutes when Harry saw Ginny go whisper something to Fred. He nodded and said something back. Ginny then slowed down and Harry was soon next to her. "Don't look now," she whispered, "but there is someone following us."
"Who?" Harry hissed back
"I don't know, but they're most definitely a death eater." Fred had dropped behind Harry now, as though he thought any spells aimed at Harry would hit him instead. Ron looked confused and yelled,
"OY, WHAT"S TAKING SO LONG?" Harry quickly rode up to Ron and explained their situation. Ron nodded and said,
"Fly full speed to the burrow Harry, once you get close enough the spells mom and dad put around it will keep you safe." By this time Fred and Ginny had caught up to them, they nodded in agreement..Without speaking another word they all sped towards the burrow. Harry arrived first and waited in the front yard as the rest arrived.
"Who do you think that was?" Ginny asked as she arrived, last, in the yard. They turned to see the masked figure going in the other direction, he had obviously run into the charms protecting the Weasley's house.
"I don't know-" Ron started, but he was cut off by George and Hermione who had spotted them.
"HARRY!" Hermione squealed as she ran to hug him.
"Shhhhh! You'll wake mum!" George said sharply.
"I am already awake!" Mrs. Weasley's voice rose above everyone else's. "I suppose I should have known this was coming, to bed everyone, now!
They trooped up to their rooms and all slept very well that night, except Harry. He continuously dreamed of Sirius now, of the way he looked as he died, of the cruel look on Bellatrix's face as she killed her cousin. He woke in the morning covered in cold sweat, Ron was already downstairs, so Harry got ready as quickly as possible. After showering and getting ready for the day Harry joined everyone else downstairs, and ate eggs and toast for breakfast. Ron stayed at the table to talk to Harry,
"Harry, after this do you fancy a game of quidditch? Bill and Charlie are coming home, they can play too." "Sure! Hermione, do you want to play?" Hermione, who had just joined them, nodded her head and returned to the book she was reading.
Later on that day the Weasley kids, Hermione, and Harry gathered in the backyard.
"Percy, you playing?" Bill shouted in Percy's direction. Percy put on an air of being to mature for such trivial things as quidditch and shook his head. "Ok," Bill continued, "that makes eight of us. Harry and Charlie can't be on the same team, neither can Fred and George, I guess we won't play with seekers. Fred, your one beater, George you on the other team as their beater. Ron your Fred's Keeper, and I'll be George's. Ginny and Harry are Fred's Chasers, and Hermione and Charlie are George's.
"Hear that you lot?" George asked "You belong to me!"
"Shut up George!" Charlie yelled and threw the quaffle at him.
"OHHH, that wasn't smart!" George took off after Charlie with his bat as the game began. Harry and Ginny dominated from the start and they won by quite a lot. They were just landing when Hermione, who was still in the air said,
"Oh, looks like you have visitors, I wonder who-" She broke off half way through her sentence saying urgently, "Bill, Charlie, come here!" They flew up to her and turned white. Charlie flew to the house, while Bill came down and whispered,
"everyone, a group of death eaters are approaching the house, stay hidden, they probably won't be able to break through the charms protecting the place, but there are a lot of them." With that he took off towards the house, everyone looked at each other, than without saying a word Ginny ran after Bill a determined look on her face. Harry was impressed by her courage, but at the same time terrified, what if Bellatrix Lestrange was here? She had killed Sirius, Harry wasn't sure how he would react if he saw her. By the time he was through thinking this he had arrived at the burrow, all the kids had decided to stay and fight. Except Percy, who was nowhere to be seen. Mr. And Mrs. Weasley were in the front yard, along with Bill and Charlie. The twins ran out to join them, as they did George turned to look at Harry, Ron Hermione, and Ginny.
"Look, If anything happens, go to our store and hide out there, try not to get involved in this, I know you don't hear that from us often, but we would die if anything happened to any of you." Ginny ran up to them and gave them each a hug. As they were going out the door, Fred slipped something to Ginny, she put it in a pocket and waved as they joined their family outside. Ron took out his wand and ran up the stairs.
"Ron! Where are you going?" Hermione shouted after him. His voice came tearing through the house.
"They're burning it down! We've got to get the important stuff out!" Harry came to the realization that he was right, smoke was coming in. He took off after Ron and went to save some of the twins, Charlie's, and Bill's things, it was fairly easy since they were just visiting. He did the same spells on them that Fred had used earlier in Harry's trunk. That way they followed him. He then ran out the back door where he met Ron, who had Harry's trunk as well as his own, which he had hastily packed. Hermione soon ran out with Mr. And Mrs. Weasley's things, along with several family heirlooms. Last of all came Ginny, with her own truck and the extraordinary Weasley clock. Harry briefly looked at it, noting that none of the hands were pointing to mortal peril, then he did a double take, Charlie's hand was slowly slipping towards it.
"NO" Ron yelled, as he and Ginny sped to the front yard.
"Harry! Give me your invisibility cloak!" Hermione yelled over the noise. Harry didn't ask questions, instead, he took it out as she cried,
"Reducto!" Everything shrank to a size so that the invisibility cloak could cover all of it."Wingardium Leviosa!" She floated everything safely out of reach of the now raging fire and hastily put the cloak over it after making sure Charlie's hand wasn't pointing to "dead." This had only taken a few seconds, and Harry and Hermione raced after the two youngest Weasleys.
Please review! Hugs and kisses to all of you who do!
