Chapter 2

Ginny landed with a loud thump. It was dark and cold. She could tell she was in the fireplace of someone's house. She looked around; it was very neat and tidy....

"HARRY POTTER! THAT BETTER NOT BE YOUR BLASTED BIRD AGAIN! THAT WILL BE THE THIRD TIME THIS MONTH! I SWEAR, I'M GONNA RIP THAT NASTY LITTLE THING IN HALF WHEN I GET A HOLD OF IT...."

Ginny froze. The man with the loud voice, and very purple face had just spotted her.

"OIY, WHO ARE YOU? WHAT THE BLEEDIN HELL ARE YOU DOIN IN MY HOUSE? GET OUT! YOU BLEEDIN FUGATIVES, YOUR ALL ALIKE, THE WHOLE LOT OF YOU! WHAT'S THAT THERE, ON YOU ROBE?" He pointed to her robe.

"S sir, that's my pendant, it's for Hogwarts, the school of Witch—

But before she could finish, the mans' eyes grew tiny, and what seemed impossible, his face grew even more purple as he yelled.

"HARRY POTTER GET YOUR FAT TUB DOWN HERE!"

There was a loud crash, and then cam Harry, running down the stairs. His eyes grew wide as she saw Ginny sitting in the fireplace covered in soot.

By this time the whole house was awake and had come to see what was going on. It must have been a quarter to seven, but they were all in their pajamas still, except for Harry.

"IS THIS ONE OF YOUR WEIRD FRIENDS? GET HERE OUT OF HERE BEFORE I BEAT THE TAR OUT OF YOU!" His face was one moment before exploding.

"Sir, it was an accident! Please, just let me call my father...." Ginny stopped. Someone else was coming down the chimney, and she stood up before the flames engulfed her.

"There will be no beating. Sir, I'm here to collect my daughter. We..." Ginny's dad began to cough. He was allergic to soot.

"GET ALONG THEN! AND DON'T EVER COME BACK TO MY HOUSE! I SHOULD HAVE THAT FILTHY BRAT OF YOURS ARRESTED!"

Just then Harry's bony-faced aunt grabbed her chubby son and nearly fainted with fright. Harry's uncle also stopped yelling, for Mr. Weasley had just taken his wand out of his pocket, and pointed it right between Mr. Dursley's eyes.

"Sir, you will be so kind as to not insult my daughter. She merely messed up, and accidentally ended up at the wrong house. I will not use magic on you," (the Dursleys shuddered at the word magic) "but I will ask you to stop yelling. We will leave now, and as a matter of fact, will take Harry with us." Mr. Weasley put his wand down, and seemed quite amazed at what he had just done.

"Oh no, Potter is not going to that horrid school of yours ever again." Mr. Dursley tugged at Harry's shirt.

"Yes I will Uncle Vernon. And I will not be coming back!" Harry ran upstairs to get his things.

Ginny remembered that it was Harry's final year at Hogwarts, and he would probably be finding a job once he was finished. She sighed. Must she always be a year behind?

"Right then, we'll be off." Mr. Weasley held on to Ginny tightly, and walked next to Harry.

Harry leaned down to Ginny. (He must have grown since she last saw him, because he was at least two feet taller than her.)

She stared into his green eyes.

"Thanks for saving me Ginny! You came just in time." Harry whispered in her ear while she giggled.

And with that, Ginny's dad flashed them back to Diagon Ally with the wave of his wand.

That was the last Harry ever saw of his uncle, aunt, and horrible cousin Dudley.

Harry muttered under his breath, "Good riddance!"
