Chapter 3
Lupin was as good as his word as Harry received a letter from Ron and Ginny
a couple of days later, inviting him to the Burrow.
Dear Harry Just a small note to let your know that we are coming for you on July 24th at 9am. We heard from Lupin that you set your aunt's favorite bush on fire!!! You'll have to tell us all the details on that one when you get here. bet her face was a picture. You'll never guess what!!!! The Canon's completely thrashed the Falcons 420- 310 yesterday!!!! If we keep playing like this we might have a chance of winning the league. Anyway Ginny wants to add a bit to this letter See you soon Ron
Hi Harry
How are you doing?? How are the Dursley's treating you or are they ignoring you since you set that bush on fire? I was going to send you some Gred and Feorge specialties to liven things up there, although you seem to be doing a fairly good job of that yourself. I bet you have them scared you'll set them on fire if they annoy you!!!!! Oh the pity but hey ho beggars cant be choosers. I see Ron told you about the Quiddich match, it sounded like a really good game. Ron was pacing up and down in the living room so much so that mum kept telling him he'd be grounded for life if he wore the floorboards away. Fred and George kept apparating to the garden from the living room so they could woop and scream and other things I'm not sure I want to know. Anyways they kept annoying mum. I'm not sure who was annoying her the most Ron's pacing or the twins apparating to and fro. I was too busy trying not to laugh. Anyways I'll see you on the 24th Ginny
Harry chuckled as he finished reading the letter. Rose smiled and asked whom the letter was from. He told her and she asked if he was looking forward to going to the Burrow. "I love going to the Burrow. I wish that I never have to come back to Privet Drive, but I know that I have to next summer." Rose had met Mr. and Mrs. Weasley but hadn't met their children yet. Harry spent the next couple of hours telling Rose all about Ron, Ginny, the twins and the others.
Later on while replying to Ron and Ginny he started thinking about how much Ginny had changed at least to him. she was funny like the twins but had bits of all her brothers. He was surprised at the ease that she had helped him when he needed it. He then wondered about the look that Ron gave him on the train it was an odd look and he wasn't sure what it meant. Did it mean I think you and my sister would make a good couple or did it mean think about it and I'll kill you. He hadn't had a chance to ask Ron about the look and wasn't sure he would. He then thought of Ginny's reply to Ron about Dean Thomas, was she joking or was she serious. I hope she was joking. Rose just smiled as Harry tried to figure out why he had thought that. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Luna flopped into her big comfy chair that was situated by the window in her bedroom. She really should try and continue her potion's homework but it had been a hot day and was a humid and stuffy evening and her brain felt as if it was on fire.
Through the voile curtains that were over her window she could see her daddy standing at the front door speaking with a neighbor. She forced herself to get out of the chair and pulled the heavier curtains over. She then crossed the room to her desk and closed her potions books, tomorrow was another day she decided. As she banged one of the books shut the gust of wind knocked a couple of strangely shaped photo-frames over which in turn knocked over a small collection of the Crumpled-Horned Snorkack and other creatures. Sighing she picked them up and checked to see that the pictures were ok. The last two of these was one of her and her mother taking in the garden during the winter playing in the snow, the other was one of her, Neville, Ron, Ginny, Harry and Hermione by the lake just before school had finished. She smiled at this one as the boys were making bunny ears behind her and the other girls heads.
Still smiling she got ready for bed, got in and put the light out. Her Kneazle Kookie jumped up and curled up on top of her head.
She was in a strange house, she knew it was morning but she didn't know where she was. Then she saw Harry come down the stairs calling for Ron. As he step of the last step he tripped over and fell on the floor. She saw Ron standing laughing at the side of the stairs and him go to help Harry up, but Harry didn't seem to see Ron and got up himself....
Then she was in the grounds at Hogwarts. She saw the 6 of them coming from the direction of Hogsmede laughing and joking. Then she saw Malfoy, Crabbe and Goyle walking towards them. An argument started and then Harry's eyes seemed to glow and hands seemed to glow as a ring of fire appeared around Malfoy. The orange tabby cat on Harry's shoulders reached out a paw and the fire jumped towards her. When the fire reached the cats paw, it disappeared.
Then she was dancing around and around and around with Neville until she felt dizzy then she was falling..falling..falling...
Luna woke with a shock..
