Meanwhile...........
"Checkmate. I beat you again." Ron exclaimed proudly. ''Hold on there, mate. That's only a check" Christian said raising an eyebrow at his red- headed opponent.
Ever since Ron's cousin, Christian Weasley, had come to visit them at the burrow, Ron's long streak of winning wizard chess had been slowed down to a complete halt.
"Check mate'' Christian said slowly as he commanded his queen in front of Ron's king.
"How about we go play some quidditch out side'' Ron suggested, tired of playing wizard chess and being beatin every single time. "You know, Ron,you didn't really didn't think you'd be the only one in the Weasley tree to inherit great wizard chess skills. Did you?''Christian snickered sarcastically.
"Where's Harry when you need a good easy game of wizard chess?'' Ron mumbled under his breath as he walked out the door, Christian following at his heels.
Hermoine had dishevlleved her entire room looking for her favorite book on Lockhart's personal life story Living with Lockhart. "Mum have you seen my book?"Hermione yelled to her mother who was doing laundry down the hall. ''No I haven't dear" came a voice from the laundry room. She was just about to give up when came a soft knock on the window. "Pigweidgon!!!!!!" Herimoine screamed with delightment. Hermione hurried over to the window and opened it quickly.Pig came over and put out its foot.Hermione untied the letter quickly.She read
Hermione,
Me and Christian[my cousin] wondered if you wanted to come over to the burrow before the start of the term?Harry might be their if he can make it. If you can write and send it with Pig.We'll come and pick you up if you can on the 27.
-Ron "Thank the good lord above" sighed Hermoine. Finally after a solid month of sitting at home with nothing to do but read, Hermoine was finally going somewhere. Plus, she had been really worried about Harry, he hadn't exactly been in the best of conditions when she last saw him. He was pretty depressed about Sirius's death. She knew he had been like a father to Harry, and it would do him good to be around his friends.
She was in the middle of replying to Ron when Hedwig came soaring through the window, gliding around her room on the evening updraft. "Oh!" Hermoine said when Hedwig landed in her large bushy hair. "Hedwig!!" she cried, flailing her arms in the air. Hedwig dropped a letter in her lap, but did not leave his post in her hair (which would also work exceptionally well as a nest).
Hermoine, Today my Aunt Petunia was kidnapped by wizards. Yeah, I know, what would they want with her. But nevertheless, I've been in touch with Dumbledore and he's already got the Order working on it. I hope to see you at the Burrow next week. I hear Ron's cousin is visiting, should be fun, I need to get my mind off of certain things.
Till then,
Harry
