The last few days at the Dursley's flew by very quickly. It was like
he blinked and it was the fifth of August. All of his belongings were
packed away in his Hogwarts trunk and it was all down in the living room.
Everything except for Hedwig who still had not returned, but this didn't
bother Harry because he knew she probably stayed at the Burrow waiting on
him. The Dursley's, however, were nowhere around the living room. Aunt
Petunia was in the kitchen, Uncle Vernon was in the den, and Dudley was out
having "tea" with one of his friends. Harry was watching the clock over the
fireplace very intently; he only had fifteen minutes to go before he would
be able to go to the Burrow.
Those fifteen-minutes seemed to take forever, Harry thought he was going to go insane waiting. Then finally he heard the grandfather clock in the den strike noon. Harry jumped up grabbed his trunk with Hedwig's cage tied to it, then picked a hand full of Floo powder Madame Maxime had sent, threw it into the fire that he had lit earlier, and clearly yelled "The Burrow". He made sure that he held the trunk tight so he wouldn't loose it in the swirl of fireplaces in front of him.
Finally, with a jolt, he was at the Burrow. The first face he saw was Ron, who was sitting in a chair in front of the fireplace. When he saw Harry he yelled "Mum, Harry's here! We'll be in my room!" The Ron grabbed the other end of Harry's trunk and they began the walk up to Ron's room. Ron didn't say much to Harry on the way up to his room, but the moment they were in his room, Ron couldn't contain himself any longer. "I can't believe you have a sister, a twin sister at that!" Yelled Ron Happily "Yeah, I know. I couldn't believe it myself. It's still a bit of a shock." Replied Harry. "I also can't believe she's coming here!" Said Ron. "Yeah I know. So have you heard from Hermione? I sent her an owl, but I never got a reply." "Oh yeah, I almost forgot. She did reply. She sent a letter back with Hedwig, but since Hedwig came here and you were coming here I told Hedwig just to stay here and we would give you the letter when you got here. Um, where did that bloody letter go?" Ron searched for the letter under a pile of books and papers but he couldn't find it. Just then Hedwig flew into the window. She went straight to a self on the opposite side of the room and pick up a letter that was lying there. She then flew to Harry and he took in from her. It was the letter from Hermione. Before opening the letter he went over to his trunk opened it and got out an owl treat and fed it to Hedwig. Hedwig then flew over to her cage and perched there happily. Harry then sat on Ron's bed, opened the letter and began to read.
Dear Harry,
I absolutely can't believe this. That poor girl, I can only imagine what she has gone though. I mean growing up with two people she thought were her parents only to find out when she's sixteen that her parents are not her parents. Even worse that she was sold on the Magic Black Market and her real parents are dead. So she'll never get to know her real parents. Oh sorry Harry I know that was a bit cruel, seeing as you never knew them either. At least the bright side to this whole story is that you have a sister. Oh, I almost forgot I will be at the Burrow also. I'll be arriving sometime between 3 and 4 o'clock on the fifth. I can't wait to see you and all the Weasley's again and I can't wait to meet Alexis.
With Love,
Hermione
Harry couldn't believe how lucky he was. All of his closest friends would be with him at one of his most favorite places, The Burrow, and he has a sister now. Just then they heard Mrs. Weasley opened the door. She went straight to Harry and hugged him.
"I am so happy for you Harry. I just can't believe you have a twin. That poor girl, what she must be going through. Oh, the poor dear. Well we'll just have to make her feel as at home as possible. Anyway, you boys better get down to the fireplace Hermione will be arriving anytime now." Said Mrs. Weasley.
Harry looked at his watch. Sure enough he had been there three hours already. It didn't even seem like he'd been there five minutes. He, Ron, and Mrs. Weasley hurried down the steps. Mrs. Weasley went towards the kitchen saying she had to finish dinner. Harry and Ron went to sit in front of the fireplace. They had been there a couple of minutes when Hermione popped out of the fireplace. She ran straight to Ron and Harry and hugged them both.
"Hey Harry! Hey Ron! I'm so happy to be here and Harry I'm so happy for you. When is Alexis going to be here?" Asked Hermione.
"She'll be here tomorrow." Replied Harry.
Just then Ginny came into the room ran up to Harry and hugged him then turned to Hermione and hugged her.
"Oh, I'm so happy you both are here. Harry congratulations on having a sister" Said Ginny
"Yeah, now you fit in with us. I mean you're a twin how great is that!" Said Fred who was coming into the room with George.
"Yeah, only you're not going to be able to trick people like we can see as you're not identical but you still get to be in the twin club." Said George.
Both Fred and George started laughing when they saw the look on Harry's face. Harry was asking himself how many other twins were at Hogwarts besides Fred and George and Padma and Parvati Patil.
"Only joking Harry. There is no Twins club." Laughed Fred.
"Oh, yeah, well. How is the joke shop going?" Asked Harry.
"It's going great! WWW is on top. Although we closed it for today and tomorrow so we could see you and meet you're sister." Replied George.
"Dinner time!" Mrs. Weasley called.
"Yeah, well better not mention WWW in front of mum, she's still not to keen on it." Said Fred.
They all went into the kitchen to find a table full of delicious look food. Harry had never felt more content in his life. He had always loved Mrs. Weasley's cooking. Mr. Weasley was already at the table. When they walked in he asked Harry how he was and what he thought about the news of him having a sister. This conversation lasted though the entire dinner since everyone was keen on the subject.
After dinner everyone went out side. Hermione sat on the ground watching as Harry, Ron, Fred, George, and Ginny played a little game of Quidditch. Then when the sun was going down they landed and sat beside Hermione and just watched the sunset. Harry felt very at peace with the world. Everything seemed to be going his way for once. Even though everything was going great Harry couldn't help but have a bad feeling deep down at the bottom of his stomach because he had never had this much happiness without something going wrong.
After the sun had completely set they all got up and went back to the house. When they go there they all said good night and went to their respective rooms and went to sleep.
