Reunited With Old Friends
Hovering astride impressive brooms were Ron, Fred, George, Bill and Mr. Weasley. Lying under a lamppost, looking decidedly worse for the wear was their sister, Ginny. "Honestly Ginny!" Harry heard the annoyed whisper of Mr. Weasley; "You've probably gone and woken up the whole neighbourhood!"
Harry gave a low chuckle when he saw Fred and George doing perfect imitations of Ginny's crash, much to the annoyance of the youngest Weasley. "STOP IT FRED!" cried Ginny, immediately followed by Mr. Weasley.
Meanwhile, Ron and Bill had seen Harry watching the commotion from his bedroom. They signalled for him to open the window and no sooner had the glass been scraped open, Ron flew into the room. "Hiya Ron! Nice arrival!" Harry grinned at his best friend, who glanced back at Ginny and chuckled. "She's a good flier really-Fred and George did an invisibility charm on the lamppost without Dad seeing them. Anyway, Harry-how are you mate?" "Oh you know," replied Harry, "Nothing a good dose of flying wouldn't cure!" "Glad to hear it," the deep voice that belonged to Bill rang throughout the room for the first time, "because you're coming with us right now to number 12."
Harry grinned and looked at the two wizards standing in his bedroom. He imagined the look on the face of Uncle Vernon-who was snoring away in the room next door-if he suddenly peeked his fat head round the bedroom door. He was delighted to see Ron again after the long summer. Yes, he'd had letters but they just weren't the same.
Mr. Weasley suddenly interrupted the meeting by flying into the room. "Hallo Harry!" he cried with delight, "Ready to go?" "Not yet Mr. Weasley," replied Harry, "You arrived immediately after I finished reading Dumbledore's letter." "Oh, well in that case we'd better get started."
The rest of the family flew in through the window and immediately started to pack Harry's trunk. After pointing out the loose floorboard under his bed to George (or Fred), Harry turned round and was addressed by Mr. Weasley. "Now, Harry, do you think we should wake your aunt and uncle up? After all, they might be worried about you." "I don't think so Mr. Weasley," replied Harry, "They'll probably think they've been granted a wish-one minute I'm there, the next I'm not! And besides, you know what happened before the Quidditch World Cup." "Yes, things did get rather ugly. All right Harry," conceded Mr. Weasley, "We won't wake them up. But I do think that you should leave a note, just in case." "OK." Harry grabbed a grubby piece of parchment and a quill from his bedside table and wrote: -
Gone with the Weasleys back to my world. See you next year. HARRY
He tiptoed downstairs and left the note on the dining table, the one place it would be found, a certainty once the Dudley factor was considered.
By the time he got back to his room, the Weasleys had finished packing up his trunk and were tying it onto Harry's Firebolt, a present from.Sirius. "Come on Harry." Ginny touched his arm and talked in a low, sweet voice. "You can think about him later. We have to go now." "Sure Gin!" Harry smiled forcefully as he turned to look at her, "Coming now!" As she smiled back and turned away, a thought struck him. How had she known he had been thinking about Sirius?
He brushed aside these thoughts, straddled his broom and flew smoothly out of the window, where he joined Ron, who was already about 50ft up in the air. "Would you look at this Harry!" said Ron, pointing to the name at the head of the broom, which looked just like Harry's previous Nimbus 2000, only more polished, with a nicer handle and perfectly trimmed twigs. "Nimbus 2003," continued Ron with a proud voice, "Dumbledore fixed it so we could travel here on them. Not a patch on your Firebolt of course but apart from that it's the best broom around today! AND Dumbledore said we could keep them!" "Nice one Ron!" replied Harry, genuinely delighted for his friend. His previous broom had been a Comet 260 and Harry felt that Ron deserved a break. "By the way, I've been meaning to ask you-what chance d'you think we've got of getting our OWL results off Dumbledore early?"
The wait for the OWL results had taken up a lot of Harry's thoughts over he holidays. He and Ron both wanted to be aurors when they left school. However, that would mean top marks in practically all of their subjects and even though Harry felt that he had probably got an 'O'- outstanding in Defence Against the Dark Arts, he wasn't so sure about potions taught by Harry's least favourite teacher- Professor Snape. "None whatsoever mate. We arrived there about a month ago and I must have asked Dumbledore about a million times since then." Ron broke off to quickly adjust his height in order to avoid some low-flying geese. Harry followed suit. "Each time I get the same answer: 'Wait until August Ron, like everyone else.'" Harry almost fell off his broom with laughter at Ron's practically perfect imitation of Dumbledore. However, he soon recovered and at once was in conversation with Ron again. "Anyway mate," continued Ron, "how did you like your birthday present?" "It's brilliant," enthused Harry, "It'll going to be really handy back at school."
Ron had, with Hermione's help, given Harry an interesting device which could tell if a person was telling the truth or not. It was very small, only about the size of a coin, and was flat and circular in shape. Upon it was a button the size of the device itself, which worked the black-coloured item. One would only have to press this button whilst somebody was speaking to determine if they were telling the truth-if the subjects eyes glowed a bright purple, they were lying. "Yeah, definitely," agreed Ron, "Hermione did the charm of course but I came up with the idea." "I know Ron!" smiled Harry. Ron was already outdone by most of his brothers. Harry could tell that he didn't want to be outdone by his friend as well. Mr. Weasley interrupted his thoughts. "Harry! Ron!" he cried, "Start to dive! We're there!"
Make sure you review people! Stay tuned-the next chapter is gonna be a good 'un.
