Chapter 2: The Knight Bus
As soon as Harry waved his wand in the street, The Knight Bus screeched to a stop right next to him. 'Wow, that was fast,' thought Harry
"Did you signal us?" Asked the man on the bus.
"Well...yeah I did," replied Harry.
"Ok then, hop on 'Arry,"
"Sure. By the way, what's your name?" Asked Harry.
"My name is Stu."
"Cool name, and I already know the driver. Ern, right?"
"Yep," replied Ern.
"Ok 'Arry, where to?" Asked Stu.
"Er... The Burrow."
"OK, let's go!!" Screamed Stu.
The Bus shot off like a rocket and Harry was thrown to the back of bus with such force that he fell unconscious when he hit his head on the glass. On the way to the Burrow, the Knight Bus made several stops, and nearly ran over four houses and some people. Within the hour they were speeding along the country toward a broken down house in the middle of nowhere. By the time they were nearing the Burrow, Harry had regained consciousness and was getting anxious to be seeing the Weasley's again.
When the bus stopped, Harry remembered to hold onto something as to not be thrown to the front of the bus. When he stopped, he said good bye to Ern and Stu and took his trunk and all of his other belongings and made his way towards the Burrow. He was so anxious that he ran but nearly tripped over one of the chickens that was roaming around the yard. He was at the front door when he heard two loud cracks in front and behind him.
"HOLY SHIT!! Jesus, you guys really have to stop doing that," said Harry.
"Sorry mate, thought you were someone else." Said George as he was staring around looking for someone that could be sneaking up on them at any moment. "Well, unless you're going to be sleeping outside, I suggest you come inside."
"Oh yeah, sorry," replied Harry.
"No problem." Said Fred who was also staring around as though searching for someone.
Once they where inside, Fred and George stopped looking around and started acting normal, or what they would call normal.
"So, Harry, what are you doing here?" Fred asked in somewhat of a non- insane tone.
"I got kicked out of my Uncle's house tonight," replied Harry.
"DAMN, Harry, that sucks," said George, but he knew that it was probably the best thing for him. "Well... you could always stay here for the rest of the summer, but... we're leaving in a couple of minutes to Sirius's house."
"Oh, so that means that I should go with you guys, right?" Asked Harry.
"Yeah, everyone is there. And let me tell you this, everyone is dying to see you." Said Fred.
"Ok, let's go then." Harry said sadly.
Instead of Fred and George apparating to Sirius's house, they used floo-powder because Harry still wasn't old enough to apparate. Fred went first, then Harry and finally George.
After a wild ride on the floo-network, they arrived at Number 12 Grimmwauld Place. This was the one place, that Harry did not want to be right now, not yet at least. When he arrived, it seemed that no-one was there, but he realized that everyone except for Ginny, Ron ad Hermione were in the Order of the Phoenix meeting. He slowly wandered upstairs to the room that he stayed in last summer, but before he could get there, he was ambushed by Ron, Ginny and Hermione. They all jumped on him and because of all the weight on his back, he slipped and fell down the stairs. After the fall, Harry had broken his arm and Ginny had a broken leg. Ron and Hermione were fine, they were unscathed, but had sustained heavy bruising to their legs.
