Harry Potter and the Awaking of the Tenshi
Chapter Five: Onto the Burrow!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Previously on Harry Potter and the Awaking of the Tenshi:
'Why is it raining? It's supposed to be humid not cold like this!' Harry thought. His blurred vision from the rain didn't help either.
"T-there's something w-wrong with this t-thunders-storm!" Haraku stuttered.
"I know it's summer, it's supposed to be humid." Harry yelled over the thundering clouds, which sounded closer to them..., too close.
"No, there's something magical about this storm!" she yelled too. Then a bright flash blinded the two teenagers for a split second and they looked up.
A flash of bolt was headed straight for them.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"HARRY! PROTEGO!" a man shouted jumping out the bush with his wand out. A shield formed around the two teenagers. The thunder hit the magical shield and then it disappeared. Then all the clouds were gone. They both turned to the man that just saved them who was currently putting his wand into his cloak.
"Professor Lupin!" Harry said in surprise. The last living of the 4 Mauraders, besides... Wormtail, ran to Harry and looked ragged as ever. Remus Lupin's hair was gray with more white hair, his face was starting to show age, and it didn't look like he had any sleep for days.
"Harry, are you alright?" he said franticly and hoarsely as he haven't spoken for ages. He checked Harry for any bruises.
"I'm fine, but what are you doing here, Professor?" Harry asked.
"Protecting you, what else?" he smiled.
"A-ano..." Haraku decided to speak. Professor Lupin looked at her with an surprised look, and then it came to understanding.
"Ah, you must be the new exchange student at Hogwarts." He said taking out a hand and she took it nervously, "Your name is...?"
"T-Tenshina, Haraku Tenshina." She stuttered. Professor Lupin gave a chuckle letting go of her hand.
"Don't be so nervous." He said kindly. She first stared at him, it was like she was looking through him, and then gave a smile.
"Nice to meet you!" she said. Harry looked at her oddly. What mood swings this girl had, first afraid, then determined, then scared again, and now she's all glad. But now he was thinking of something else. Professor Lupin, protecting him. That only meant one thing. The Order of the Phoenix was still going as planned but why? He was mailing every three days.
'They don't have to do this! I can protect myself!' he said with irritation. 'But how did he shield us from thunder? I thought protego only worked with magical attacks- Why did everything get bright so suddenly?' he thought as the sun showed through the clouds.
"Well I better going. I need to report this. Bye Harry. Goodbye Haraku." Professor Lupin said seriously and disapparated with a loud 'pop!'
"Wait!" Harry started but it was too late. "Shit!"
"Um... Harry?" Harry jumped, he forgot about Haraku.
"Thank you for... helping me." She said shyly.
"You're welcome." Harry said then followed an awkward silence.
"Well I'm going to go back and change." She started to walk to her house.
"Wait Haraku," she turned around.
"Yea?"
"How did you know that that thunderstorm was magic?" Harry asked. He came to the conclusion that the thunder was magic because the protection spell worked. But how did Professor Lupin know that?
"I know a lot of things, you'll find that out soon." She smiled and walked back into her house leaving Harry confused.
Then Harry just sneezed. He noticed that he was still wet too. He walked back into the Dursley's house.
After getting scorned at by his aunt talking about wet clothing's and dirty shoes, Harry was told to take a shower and then eat a short dinner. The Dursleys already ate and it was nine o' clock, how time flies when you're having 'fun.'
He went to bed at ten and noticed how exhausted he was. He fell asleep as soon he hit his pillow.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
He was in a dark red mist.
'Where am I?' he looked down and was surprised to see that he was wearing green armor, almost fit for a prince. At his waist was a sword, Harry took it out of its sheath and it looked very familiar. It was the Gryffindor sword!
Then something interrupted Harry's fascination. A figure appeared in the mist but the mist let it only show the outline of it. Harry could only tell that it was a human figure with large wings.
A cruel laughter rang out in the mist. Harry turned around and saw... Voldemort!
Voldemort raised his wand and Harry pulled up the sword but then arms from behind him wrapped around his waist and he froze. He felt the feathers brush his face and its wings came into view and covered Harry. Then he felt the breath of the thing holding him against his neck. It whispered one word...
"Harry..."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Harry's eyes snapped open.
What was that about?!
This was new. His scar didn't hurt, it tingled but there was no pain. Actually he felt quite refreshed. Now that was disturbing.
Harry shook his head and checked the time. It was eight. He was thinking about that dream. Why did he dream himself with armor? Who or what was the thing with wings?
But his jumbled thoughts were interrupted as Aunt Petunia rapped at the door.
"Harry, that- that Japanese girl is here to see you." She obviously detested Haraku. Speaking of which what the bloody hell was she doing here?
Harry changed into changed into a black t-shirt with a dragon on the back and blue jeans. The dragon looked nothing like the real thing.
He should know: he fought one face to face.
He came down and saw Haraku, and just became aware that he forgot to brush his hair. (Not that it would have made a much of a difference.)
"Hi Harry! I came to bring my stuff here." She gave a smile and dragged her huge trunk with her owl cage and Yami into the Dursley's house. Harry was confused until it hit him she was supposed to come today.
"Err... Haraku?"
"Yes?" she looked up from dragging her trunk.
"Why are you here so early?" she blinked. Then blinked again.
"Did I come at a bad time?"
"Err... no just early."
"Let's just say I couldn't." She said and continued to drag her trunk through the door.
Then Harry remembered he forgot to ask the Dursleys.
He hoped that they wouldn't mind...
Yea right.
If pigs could fly... hold on... you could probably use a levitation spell to-
"Err... Harry?" Haraku waved a hand in his face.
"What?" he said shaking his head a bit out of his thoughts.
"You're alright?"
"Yea, just forgot to ask the Dursleys."
"Oh so that's why your aunt asked me why I was here. I told her I was going with you and she kind of puffed up a bit and looked a bit red. Then she went off muttering something about you... Is that normal?"
"Err... yea..." Harry said. 'It is ok then... I suppose'
Awkward silence...
"...So.. where do I put my stuff?"
"Oh right um, you can put your stuff in the living room."
"Great!" and she started to drag the trunk and Yami.
"Here, I'll hold the trunk for you."
"No it's fine you don't have to-" but Harry already took the trunk from her with one hand dragging it through the door,
... And almost dropped it.
"Bloody hell what did you put in this?!" he heaved. She blushed and put her hand to her mouth trying to muffle her laugh.
"S-sorry Har-Harry" she muttered and unsuccessfully trying not to laugh at the comical sight when Harry tried to get it with two hands and dragged it across the hall.
"How did in Merlin's beard did you get this over here?" she stopped laughing as she kind of choked her next statement.
"Err... I –ahem- err... levitated it, but only a little! The muggles wouldn't have noticed it cause I made it look like I was dragging it!" she said hastily when she saw his face.
Harry shrugged in exasperation and pulled it into the living room. He noticed that Aunt Petunia was cooking breakfast and Uncle Vernon was reading his newspaper. They just ignored him and the loud dragging noise of the trunk.
When Harry reached the living room he put down the trunk and dropped onto a couch. Haraku carefully put Yami's cage on the table and plopped down onto the couch next to Harry.
"So... I suppose you want a tour?" Harry asked. Haraku just raised an eyebrow.
"You're up for it?" she asked. Harry nodded.
"Ok then." She stood up and waited for Harry to stand up too. Harry just sat there.
"Well, this is the living room." He said. Haraku laughed.
"Oh don't be so lazy." She slapped him playfully on the arm and pulled him up.
"Alright, alright." Harry stood up and led her upstairs. She just smiled and followed him.
"This is the bathroom, this is Dudley's room," they both heard him snoring in bed and Haraku whispered, "He's snores like a pig"
"Well of course he does, he is one. Didn't you see the resemblance?" They both went into a fit of laughter.
"Anyway over there is my Uncle's and Aunt's room and here is my room." He opened the door to his room.
It was plain but the bookshelf with broken toys and computer games were replaced with books and ornaments. '... I must have been bored or something to clean out the room.' Harry thought.
The room wasn't messy like when Tonks came in it last year. Though his clothes were in a pile in the corner of the room, otherwise it was clean. Hedwig wasn't back yet.
They went in and Haraku looked around.
"Your relatives don't let you put out magic stuff around your room, right?" she asked. Harry was surprised.
"Yea, they're afraid that the people who come over would find out that they're not normal." Harry emphasized 'normal.' She smiled and then went over to his trunk in the corner of the room.
"Can I see the books you have, pleeeeeeeaaaaasssseeee?" she asked.
"Uhh..... sure." He said. She gave a shout of glee and opened his trunk. She took out books and looked at them with fascination.
"Hmm... 'Quidditch Through the Ages,' do you play Quidditch?" she asked. He was surprised.
"Yea... You have Quidditch too?" he asked. She laughed and gave a little punch on the arm.
"Of course, silly." She said as he sat on the bed.
"Are you going to make a habit out of hitting me on the arm?" he asked.
"Don't tempt me." She gave a playful smirk. "Anyway I thought you were strong."
Harry snorted and said, "Of course I am, that didn't hurt a bit."
She scowled and stuck out her tongue and turned back to the book.
"So what position do you like to play?" she asked.
"... Seeker." He said with a sad look. "I used to play the Gryffindor Seeker..."
She gave a confused look.
"Last semester the Ministry of Magic sent Umbridge," he spat the name with disgust. "She was a Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher and then became headmaster. She took away my broom after the Gryffindor won the game because I beat up Malfoy."
"Who's Malfy?" she asked. He almost burst out laughing. 'I should use that as a nickname'
"Malfoy," he corrected after restoring his composure. "You can say he's like my rival. From the first day we met in Madame's Robes, I hated him."
"Why did you beat him up?"
"He... he insulted my mum." She gave a nod of sympathy.
"And who's Umbridge?" she asked. He clenched his fists and breathed deeply. He really hated the woman.
"A toad looking woman with a high pitch voice that make's me sick just thinking about it. She was a member of the Ministry of Magic."
"Oh..." she said and then there was silence.
"... So what position you play?" he tried to change the subject.
"I play beater." She said with a smile. Harry gave a skeptical look.
"Oh, don't look at me like that." She hit him on the arm for the third time of the day.
"I'm a good player and I'll show you when we get to Hogwarts."
"What kind of broom do you have?" he asked.
"Firebolt, it's the best." She said.
"I should know," he told her, "I have one too. Well... used to."
Silence again.
"... Well... did you eat yet?" she randomly asked.
"No. Did you?" he asked back and she shook her head.
"Hold on, I'll be right back." She said, dropping 'Quidditch Throught the Ages' in his room, and ran out the door, leaving Harry confused.
'I wonder if I'll get my broom back...' he thought. 'I better get it back. It was from Sirius... I'll do anything to get it back.' He scowled as bad memories came into his head.
Unfortunately, they both forgot about a certain book that Haraku dropped on the floor.
She came in with a plastic blue box in her hand but tripped on the book.
"AAAhh!" she yelped and shut her eyes as she fell.
But no hard floor came to meet her as she felt two secure arms holding her.
She opened one eye and saw Harry holding her. 'He has fast reflexes' she thought as she opened her other eye and they both stared at each other.
They then notice how close they were and jumped apart.
There a moment of tense silence until Harry broke it.
"Y-you're alright?" he stuttered. Haraku just nodded with a light blush on her cheeks. She held the box tightly.
"Thanks" she whispered.
"N-no problem."
"W-What did you get?" he asked.
"Oh, um... I got these err... It's candy... err sort of." She said and walked over to him and they both sat on the bed.
"Candy?"
"Yea, it's from Japan. I brought some before we moved and it's my favorite." She opened the lid and there was little wrapped candy with Japanese writings on the cover.
"Here try one." She handed one to him. Harry opened the wrapper and found out that the candy was a round, green, shape ball with a strange language design on it.
"What is it made of?" he asked as he examined the ball, it was the size of a pea.
"Try it. Oh and don't bite it, it'll break you're teeth." She said and popped a purple one into her mouth. He then followed her example and put it in his mouth.
It... it tasted like... like...
Chicken?
"What the- It tastes like chicken." He said and saw Haraku.
She was in a daze.
"Err... Haraku?" he waved a hand in front of her. She blinked and looked at the hand.
"Oh err... sorry Harry. What flavor did you get?"
"Flavor?"
"Yea, I got Katsudon." She said, of course Harry didn't know what that meant.
"... Mine tasted like chicken."
"Hmm... do you taste anything else?"
"There's eggs too..."
"Ahh then it must be Domburi." She said.
"Domburi?" he asked.
"Yea, you see it's Japanese food all squished into a little candy ball. With the help of magic of course and the color of it depends on what it is." She said expertly. Harry was surprised, he also felt very full.
"It's like a meal in one ball so you can live off this stuff three times a day. If you did this box is like a year supply." She told him.
"I wonder why they don't sell it in England." Harry thought out loud.
"They do," she answered, "You just have to know where to get it."
"How do you know that? You just said you got it in Japan." He was confused.
"Yea but these sell everywhere, from America to Africa." She said, "Now you don't have to eat breakfast!"
'She's right' he thought. The little pea sized ball tasted a bit weird but he felt strangely content.
CRACK!
A sound like a gun and smoke filled Harry's room.
Haraku yelped in surprise and the door burst opened revealing a red-faced Uncle Vernon.
...................................
Mr. Weasley, George and Fred Weasley, and Remus Lupin have appeared in the middle of Harry's room.
Mr. Weasley and Professor Lupin were wearing their usual wizard robes, but George and Fred were wearing flashy leather and dragon skins of jackets and pants. Only difference was the color; George wore blue while Fred wore red.
"Oh, hullo Harry." George said as Uncle Vernon face got purple and mixed with a pale color, which was interesting to look at.
"Hi ... why are you all here?" Harry asked after his heart calmed down. 'I should be getting used to this,' Harry thought.
"Well since we heard about the storm incident, we thought it would be safer to take you now. But it doesn't really matter if you're leaving a day early right?" Fred explained.
"Hey who's the girl Harry? A 'friend' of yours?" George's eyes suggested mischievously. Haraku turned red as so did Harry.
"NO!! I mean yes, she's my friend but-"
"George," Mr. Weasley said sternly, cutting off Harry, "You know that's the new exchange student for Hogwarts."
The twins just sniggered and Uncle Vernon seemed to find his voice.
"Boy- err... Harry," he hastily corrected himself, "Come here for a minute"
He motioned for Harry to come outside. The unexpected group was about to protest but Harry shook his head and instead they introduced themselves to Haraku. After Harry shut the door Uncle Vernon took a deep breath. Then he turned around to face Harry.
"Look," he started and gave Harry a glare, "I don't really give a care in the world that you are leaving. But I 'will' not have those- those 'kinds' (not being able to say wizard) in my household popping in like it's the most normal thing to do!"
Harry was about to say it was for wizard folks but kept his mouth shut.
"Tell them that next time try using the front door!"
And just like that he stormed off and down the stair.
Harry stared dumbly and then wiped off some spit that flew out of Uncle Vernon's mouth in disgust. 'Was that... a permission that I could go?' Harry wondered. Then Harry grinned, 'Probably was!' He went back into his room where Haraku was cheerfully talking to the Weasleys and Professor Lupin, sharing her treat that she brought.
Harry and Haraku got their trunks and packed their owls. Mr. Weasley used the fireplace again (they were traveling by Floo Powder, which made Harry groan in annoyance) and his aunt and uncle just ignored them. It was Haraku's first time, surprisingly.
"Ano.... I don't know how to use Foo Powder." She said sheepishly
"Oh, it's okay you just put this pinch of ash out on the fire and say the name of the place you want to go. And it's 'Floo' Powder. Just follow Fred and George." Mr. Weasley said.
"What about your parents?" Harry asked.
"Oh, they know. I sent a note on the kitchen table." She said.
"Sent? How did you send it, you were with us the whole time." He said, confused.
"Ahh, that's the wonder of Japanese magic, especially when you are-" Mr. Weasley stopped himself.
"When you're a what, dad?" Fred asked.
"Never mind let's go." he said quickly.
"But-" George started.
"I said 'GO'" he raised his voice. The twins sulkily went to the fireplace. George went first he took the pinch of powder, and made the green flame appear.
"THE BURROW!" he said and vanished. Haraku gave a gasp of astonishment.
Then Fred went. Harry was thinking why they didn't go to Sirius' place... but said nothing of it.
Haraku went next and nervously took the powder. She stepped in with her trunk (with the help of Professor Lupin.)
"Say it loud and clear." Harry warned, remembering his accidental turn to Knockturnal Alley.
"Okay." She said and took a deep breath and dropped the ashes.
"THE BURROW!" she said and vanished.
Harry was next.
He took the powder from Mr. Weasley and just said to his aunt and uncle:
"See you next summer." And went into the fireplace and said "The Burrow!" before Mr. Weasley said something like he did last time.
Professor Lupin just shrugged at Mr. Weasley and the fixed up the fireplace and apparated.

Harry snorted and said, "Of course I am, that didn't hurt a bit."
She scowled and stuck out her tongue and turned back to the book.
"So what position do you like to play?" she asked.
"... Seeker." He said with a sad look. "I used to play the Gryffindor Seeker..."
She gave a confused look.
"Last semester the Ministry of Magic sent Umbridge," he spat the name with disgust. "She was a Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher and then became headmaster. She took away my broom after the Gryffindor won the game because I beat up Malfoy."
"Who's Malfy?" she asked. He almost burst out laughing. 'I should use that as a nickname'
"Malfoy," he corrected after restoring his composure. "You can say he's like my rival. From the first day we met in Madame's Robes, I hated him."
"Why did you beat him up?"
"He... he insulted my mum." She gave a nod of sympathy.
"And who's Umbridge?" she asked. He clenched his fists and breathed deeply. He really hated the woman.
"A toad looking woman with a high pitch voice that make's me sick just thinking about it. She was a member of the Ministry of Magic."
"Oh..." she said and then there was silence.
"... So what position you play?" he tried to change the subject.
"I play beater." She said with a smile. Harry gave a skeptical look.
"Oh, don't look at me like that." She hit him on the arm for the third time of the day.
"I'm a good player and I'll show you when we get to Hogwarts."
"What kind of broom do you have?" he asked.
"Firebolt, it's the best." She said.
"I should know," he told her, "I have one too. Well... used to."
Silence again.
"... Well... did you eat yet?" she randomly asked.
"No. Did you?" he asked back and she shook her head.
"Hold on, I'll be right back." She said, dropping 'Quidditch Throught the Ages' in his room, and ran out the door, leaving Harry confused.
'I wonder if I'll get my broom back...' he thought. 'I better get it back. It was from Sirius... I'll do anything to get it back.' He scowled as bad memories came into his head.
Unfortunately, they both forgot about a certain book that Haraku dropped on the floor.
She came in with a plastic blue box in her hand but tripped on the book.
"AAAhh!" she yelped and shut her eyes as she fell.
But no hard floor came to meet her as she felt two secure arms holding her.
She opened one eye and saw Harry holding her. 'He has fast reflexes' she thought as she opened her other eye and they both stared at each other.
They then notice how close they were and jumped apart.
There a moment of tense silence until Harry broke it.
"Y-you're alright?" he stuttered. Haraku just nodded with a light blush on her cheeks. She held the box tightly.
"Thanks" she whispered.
"N-no problem."
"W-What did you get?" he asked.
"Oh, um... I got these err... It's candy... err sort of." She said and walked over to him and they both sat on the bed.
"Candy?"
"Yea, it's from Japan. I brought some before we moved and it's my favorite." She opened the lid and there was little wrapped candy with Japanese writings on the cover.
"Here try one." She handed one to him. Harry opened the wrapper and found out that the candy was a round, green, shape ball with a strange language design on it.
"What is it made of?" he asked as he examined the ball, it was the size of a pea.
"Try it. Oh and don't bite it, it'll break you're teeth." She said and popped a purple one into her mouth. He then followed her example and put it in his mouth.
It... it tasted like... like...
Chicken?
"What the- It tastes like chicken." He said and saw Haraku.
She was in a daze.
"Err... Haraku?" he waved a hand in front of her. She blinked and looked at the hand.
"Oh err... sorry Harry. What flavor did you get?"
"Flavor?"
"Yea, I got Katsudon." She said, of course Harry didn't know what that meant.
"... Mine tasted like chicken."
"Hmm... do you taste anything else?"
"There's eggs too..."
"Ahh then it must be Domburi." She said.
"Domburi?" he asked.
"Yea, you see it's Japanese food all squished into a little candy ball. With the help of magic of course and the color of it depends on what it is." She said expertly. Harry was surprised, he also felt very full.
"It's like a meal in one ball so you can live off this stuff three times a day. If you did this box is like a year supply." She told him.
"I wonder why they don't sell it in England." Harry thought out loud.
"They do," she answered, "You just have to know where to get it."
"How do you know that? You just said you got it in Japan." He was confused.
"Yea but these sell everywhere, from America to Africa." She said, "Now you don't have to eat breakfast!"
'She's right' he thought. The little pea sized ball tasted a bit weird but he felt strangely content.
CRACK!
A sound like a gun and smoke filled Harry's room.
Haraku yelped in surprise and the door burst opened revealing a red-faced Uncle Vernon.
...................................
Mr. Weasley, George and Fred Weasley, and Remus Lupin have appeared in the middle of Harry's room.
Mr. Weasley and Professor Lupin were wearing their usual wizard robes, but George and Fred were wearing flashy leather and dragon skins of jackets and pants. Only difference was the color; George wore blue while Fred wore red.
"Oh, hullo Harry." George said as Uncle Vernon face got purple and mixed with a pale color, which was interesting to look at.
"Hi ... why are you all here?" Harry asked after his heart calmed down. 'I should be getting used to this,' Harry thought.
"Well since we heard about the storm incident, we thought it would be safer to take you now. But it doesn't really matter if you're leaving a day early right?" Fred explained.
"Hey who's the girl Harry? A 'friend' of yours?" George's eyes suggested mischievously. Haraku turned red as so did Harry.
"NO!! I mean yes, she's my friend but-"
"George," Mr. Weasley said sternly, cutting off Harry, "You know that's the new exchange student for Hogwarts."
The twins just sniggered and Uncle Vernon seemed to find his voice.
"Boy- err... Harry," he hastily corrected himself, "Come here for a minute"
He motioned for Harry to come outside. The unexpected group was about to protest but Harry shook his head and instead they introduced themselves to Haraku. After Harry shut the door Uncle Vernon took a deep breath. Then he turned around to face Harry.
"Look," he started and gave Harry a glare, "I don't really give a care in the world that you are leaving. But I 'will' not have those- those 'kinds' (not being able to say wizard) in my household popping in like it's the most normal thing to do!"
Harry was about to say it was for wizard folks but kept his mouth shut.
"Tell them that next time try using the front door!"
And just like that he stormed off and down the stair.
Harry stared dumbly and then wiped off some spit that flew out of Uncle Vernon's mouth in disgust. 'Was that... a permission that I could go?' Harry wondered. Then Harry grinned, 'Probably was!' He went back into his room where Haraku was cheerfully talking to the Weasleys and Professor Lupin, sharing her treat that she brought.
Harry and Haraku got their trunks and packed their owls. Mr. Weasley used the fireplace again (they were traveling by Floo Powder, which made Harry groan in annoyance) and his aunt and uncle just ignored them. It was Haraku's first time, surprisingly.
"Ano.... I don't know how to use Foo Powder." She said sheepishly
"Oh, it's okay you just put this pinch of ash out on the fire and say the name of the place you want to go. And it's 'Floo' Powder. Just follow Fred and George." Mr. Weasley said.
"What about your parents?" Harry asked.
"Oh, they know. I sent a note on the kitchen table." She said.
"Sent? How did you send it, you were with us the whole time." He said, confused.
"Ahh, that's the wonder of Japanese magic, especially when you are-" Mr. Weasley stopped himself.
"When you're a what, dad?" Fred asked.
"Never mind let's go." he said quickly.
"But-" George started.
"I said 'GO'" he raised his voice. The twins sulkily went to the fireplace. George went first he took the pinch of powder, and made the green flame appear.
"THE BURROW!" he said and vanished. Haraku gave a gasp of astonishment.
Then Fred went. Harry was thinking why they didn't go to Sirius' place... but said nothing of it.
Haraku went next and nervously took the powder. She stepped in with her trunk (with the help of Professor Lupin.)
"Say it loud and clear." Harry warned, remembering his accidental turn to Knockturnal Alley.
"Okay." She said and took a deep breath and dropped the ashes.
"THE BURROW!" she said and vanished.
Harry was next.
He took the powder from Mr. Weasley and just said to his aunt and uncle:
"See you next summer." And went into the fireplace and said "The Burrow!" before Mr. Weasley said something like he did last time.
Professor Lupin just shrugged at Mr. Weasley and the fixed up the fireplace and apparated.
