Ch.2
The Reunion

The Hermione and the Weasleys arrived at Privet Drive in one of the ministry cars. "Well I'm off bye now." Mr. and Mrs. Dursley just stood there. At that moment Dudley poked his head out of the kitchen. Fred and George yelled together "Hey its Dudley Porkley." At that Dudley ran back into the kitchen crying. Luckily for them Mrs. Weasley didn't hear that. " All right Harry come along." Mr. Weasley was walking back to the car. Following him was Ron, Harry, Fred, and George. Ginny and Hermione were waiting in the car with Mrs. Weasley. Harry and Ron lagged a little. "You really like her." Ron nodded. "I would have never guessed that." Harry said sarcastically. Harry put his things in the trunk and got in the back with Ron and Hermione. "Hi Harry how was your summer?" asked Mrs. Weasley. "Fine I guess" Harry was frowning slightly. "Harry guess what?" "What Hermione?" "I talked with Victor over the summer and he said we could go see him over Christmas break." Ron looked at Harry quickly then looked away. "That's great" said Harry. "What about us." "He didn't invite you" Fred. Fred and George frowned. "Mind your own." Yelled Ron. "I know why our so mad Ron, remember Fred?" "Oh yes George I do." "Take it away George." "Well me and Fred intercepted your note to Harry Ron." Ron was dumbstruck w-w-wh- " Please say nothing Fred and George." Whispered Harry. "For you Harry ok but if Ron steps out of line we will tell Ha Ha Ha." Laughed George. "Thanks Harry you're a pal." "Well here we are home sweet home." Harry noticed that the Weasley's house had changed from the last time he saw it. Ron saw what Harry was looking at. "Oh sorry Harry forgot to tell you Fred and George added a joke shop on to the house. Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes like it Harry?" Fred and George winked. "I wonder where they got all that money?" Ron's face was grave. Harry quickly changed the subject. "So Ron how's Quidditch going." Ron told Harry he was practicing t get on the school team. "Well- "you think he can get on the team to that's funny." "George be nice" Yelled Mr. Weasley. "Ok I'm Sorry." "Never mind". Ron had turned red. Up in Ron's room Ron was telling Harry ever since Fred and George started working on the joke shop they don't have time for any thing else. "I miss them even though they pick on me a lot." "If you want I can talk to them." "No it's all right Harry. Do you want to see it?" "Sure." Harry and Ron went down stairs careful not to step on crookshank who was chasing a mouse. When they reached the door there was a note saying NO ADDMITTENTS. "Can we go in then?" Harry looked at Ron. "No I guess not I'll show you later ok." Mrs. Weasley shouted "dinner, then bed you have a long day tomorrow. At dinner Harry sat between Ron and Ginny who couldn't stop blushing. Ginny had liked Harry ever since she had seen him. "So Ginny how was your summer?" "I-I-It was good." Ginny quickly looked away Harry decided not to ask her anymore question right now." "Harry how are the Dursley's treating you?" asked Mrs. Weasley. "Mom." "Its ok Ron. They still treat me badly." "I think Tumbled should have you live here over the summer." Said Hermoine. "I wish." Mrs. Weasley noticed that Harry was sad so she stopped talking about the Dursley's. When everyone was finished Mrs. Weasley made them go up stairs to their rooms. In Ron's room Harry noticed that he had reorganized. He had moved Pig's cage and he had acquired some new book, well old books. "You read these?" "Honestly Harry what do you think." "My room is very messy sorry." "Its Ok." At that moment there was a knock on the door. "Who is it." Asked Ron. "Its me." Said Hermione. "Oh gosh Harry look at my room." Ron whispered franticly throwing stuff in his closet. "Harry Ron let me in." "Come on Ron your acting like a fool." "Ok you can come in." Hermione stepped in wearing a nice turquoise dress her hair was slicked back with a lot of gel. "Wow Hermione you look great." Ron just stood there dumbstruck. Turning a slight shade of red Hermione told them it was for the hogwarts ball. "HOGWARTS BALL" Not again. "Yes and you better ask me before some one else does." Ron turned red. "Who said I was going to ask you?" "Come on Ron" said Harry and Hrmione together. "Alright, alright will you go with me?" "Yup I would be delighted to." Ron turned the shade of a red apple. Down stairs Mrs. Weasley was yelling at Fred and George because they snuck down stairs to the joke shop. "Aw mom we forgot to turn off the lights." "The lights look off to me get your room immediately." Fred and George scurried to there room. "Everyone should be in there beds" Mrs. Weasley yelled up the stairs. Ron and Harry got their night cloths on and got into their beds. "Good night Harry." "Good night."
