A/N: Thank you to the one person who has reviewed this. ( You rock.
It was a bright day outside, and the burrow lumbered up into the clear blue sky, looking more slanted and out of place in all it's oddness. The trio walked down the front path and onto the road, heading in the opposite direction of town.
Sure enough, in front of the rather normal looking house that Harry would expect to see on Privet Drive, was a moving van and a new looking green car. Men worked carrying things from the truck to the lawn, while others carried things from the lawn into the house. A tall and very thin woman stood on the lawn, between the truck and unloaded things, yelling at the workers.
The three exchanged looks, and kept on walking. When they got closer they saw that there was very little to actually look at, the workers were nearly finished, and the woman wasn't getting much of a reaction. It was almost disappointing.
"Mum? Where do you want the box of books?" A voice called from one of the upstairs windows. It was a girl who looked no older than the three of them were. They looked up, not listening to the mother's answer.
"Do we know her?" Harry asked the other two, staring at the girl until she disappeared inside again.
"Huh?" Ron asked, looking at Harry and then at the window again to find her gone.
"I don't think so Harry... she didn't look familiar to me." Hermione answered.
Harry didn't press the subject.
"Yeah... so, do we keep walking or head back?"
"Head back." Hermione said, wanting to return to her book if there was nothing better to do.
"Keep going." Ron answered at the same time.
For a moment they glared at each other, then looked at Harry. He smiled slightly, being their tie breaker. Trouble was, he was indifferent. Going back or going on... it didn't matter as long as he was with them.
"Hey!" They all turned to look up the hill to where the twins and Ginny stood. "Come on, mum wants to talk to us!"
The trio looked about at each other and shrugged slightly.
"Guess we'll go back then." Harry said.
The other two headed back, but he paused for a moment, looking back at the new house. The girl still had not returned to the window. He frowned deeply, not being able to shake the feeling that he knew her before starting off after Ron and Hermione.
