The next morning, Harry actually woke up early and began to pack. He was finished at about four o'clock. He waiting downstairs with his things until five thirty.
A green car drove up to the Dursleys' driveway and Arthur Weasley stepped out. Harry greeted them and Mr. Weasley got his trunk into the car. Ron was waiting for Harry in the back. The two of them chatted all the way to the Burrow.
Harry walked into the Burrow, and immediately, Mr. Weasley had someone's head in his fireplace. He looked rather old and scraggly.
"Bad news, Arthur," said the unknown head.
"What is it, now, Otis?" Mr. Weasley asked him.
"There's a newspaper, not the Daily Prophet, but someone else, who's going to try to write Harry Potter's life story."
"Don't tell me The Quibbler…"
"Actually not. Some American press said they had the right to run a story like that. Those Americans and their rights," Otis sighed.
"That can't be such a bad thing, now, can it?"
"It wouldn't be, if they didn't want to know every little detail. From Harry's grandfather's mysterious female friend from overseas, to Harry's current girlfriend. And they keep bugging different sections of the Ministry! They'll be at your department, next, wanting to interview you about the car you lent Harry…"
"You and I know very well that I didn't lend Harry and Ron that car. They took it. How do you know about Harry's grandfather."
"Never-the-less, something needs to be done. His grandfather had mentioned her a few times. You could….raid the press's stand…something to get them out of the Ministry's hair!"
"I don't do raids just to get rid of people. That's not my department. Talk to someone else about it, like the Obliviators. I'm sure they'll be more than happy to escort the press out of the building," Mr. Weasley demanded.
As Harry overheard this, disbelief shot through his system. 'My life story?' he thought, 'But, why? What's so interesting about what little they know, still?' He changed the topic in his mind, and began thinking about how Ginny was going to help the Gryffindor team win the cup this year.
(A/N: Hey, guys…I know this is a little short, but I kinda screwed up the chapters and I don't feel like going through all that again. Oh, well…but since it's Christmas vacation, the chapters might be a little quicker in coming, eh? You would think so…you would think so….jk! The next chapter might be here right away….I'll just have to see. Have a very Happy Christmas Vacation! SCHOOL'S OUT!! WHOOOO HOOOO!!! ^_~)
