It was a normal day on Pivet Drive. The sun was shining, birds were singing, and not a cloud in sight. In house number 4, things were as normal as could be, lest someone suspected something. Petunia Dursley was doing her normal duties, Vernon was reading the paper, and Dudley was sitting on the sofa watching television. They didn't bother to notice that Petunia's nephew, Harry Potter, wasn't among them that beautiful morning. No, they never noticed Harry, until they wanted something done.

This particular morning, Harry was outside playing with Hedwig, his snowy owl. He had been thinking a lot about his friends and how he couldn't wait to see them. He had received a note from Ron yesterday saying that Hermione's parents agreed to stop and pick him up on the way to the Burrow, in order to prevent more incidents like the past Weasley rescues Harry had experienced.

"Seeing as how the Granger's are muggles, the Dursley's shouldn't go too crazy, I hope." Harry had said.

But of course, Petunia and Vernon were nervous as ever. The Grangers would be arriving around noon to get Harry. His trunk was already packed and everything was sitting by the door. He was set on not becoming anxious, so he decided to take Hedwig out for a while. Besides, he didn't want to hear his aunt Petunia's frequent concerns. "I do hope they dress appropriately." "What if they pull some of that funny business, Vernon?" and "I do hope Dudley doesn't 'over-excite' himself again." Yes, every time someone affiliated with Harry came near Pivet Drive, the whole family, excluding Harry, would go in fits.

Harry was trying to get his mind off of his relatives and on to more important things. He had been terribly lonely since he and Cho parted ways. But, he didn't like her like that anymore. He just needed somebody. He had taken quite an interest in Ginny Weasley here lately. She had definitely grown up and filled out. Her curves were enough to make Harry's mouth water. Ron had tried to get Harry to notice her long ago, but until recently, she was "his best friend's little sister" and nothing more. Now, however, she was a complete hottie! Harry found himself looking forward to seeing her as much as he looked forward to seeing Ron and Hermione, if not more.

As he thought of Ginny, time passed by in a hurry. He had completely lost track and had laid down on the ground watching Hedwig peck the ground for bugs. He must have dozed off cause the next thing he knew, Hedwig was pecking him and he could hear Hermione's voice calling him. He rolled over and saw her coming towards him.

"Come on, Harry. I cant wait to get to the Burrow and see Ron, Ginny, Fred, George, Charlie, Percy, Bill, and Mr. and Mrs. Weasley. Yes, Charlie and Bill are coming in soon to visit with us all before start of term. And I have some more reading to do, so lets get a move on." Hermione said.

Harry just rolled his eyes and obeyed. He knew it was hopeless to argue with her. He picked Hedwig up and carried her inside as he went. After placing her in her cage and loading everything into the back of the Granger's car, they were off.

Harry and Hermione talked along the way, to pass the time. They had discussed everything and anything. By the time they got to the Burrow, Harry and Hermione were completely caught up. "This is great," Harry thought. "Me and Ron can catch up tonight and that will leave tomorrow for me to spend with Ginny while Hermione and Ron catch up."
