Chapter five: Reunion
Harry and Hagrid flew throught the night air on the motorbike, leaving Privet drive and the bright lights of Little Whinging behind them. The stars winked frostily at them from their lofty perches. Harry felt almost like he could touch one of those stars, he felt as though he were skimming the underside of the sky. His breath came in icy puffs of crystal on the air and his eyes felt as if they were frozen permanently open. Harry felt more alive than he had in a long time, breathing huge gulps of frigid air into his lungs, the wind tousling and combing through his already unruly hair. Here he was truly isolated. The only thing up here with him were the indifferent stars and the chill air. Harry closed his eyes. He wished he could live among the stars, frozen, indifferent and ageless, just like them.
Unexpectedly, the motorbike tipped downwards and Harry was jolted out of his thoughts. Harry saw, growing steadily larger as they descended, the burrow. Harry felt a leap in the region of his stomache and smiled a small smile. It felt strange on his face, it had been so long since he had smiled. They landed in the yard and coasted up to the front door. Molly Weasley was standing at the door in her dressing gown and she ran to Harry as he struggled to pull his frozen legs off of the bike. Mrs. Weasley had caught Harry tightly in a hug before he was truly balanced on his feet. He staggered back as she released him, smiling. Harry smiled in return as Hagrid came from behind with Harry's trunk. "We'd best be going inside, Molly" Hagrid said with a touch of uneasiness in his voice. "Yes, yes, of course. I daresay we should wake up the others and we can all have a cup of hot chocolate. I don't think any of them are asleep anyway. Come along, Harry dear." Harry let himself be led inside. Harry was pushed into a chair be Mrs. Weasley and she bustled out of the kitchen upstairs.
Hagrid sat across from Harry. They sat in silence for a few moments and then Hagrid looked up at him and said "It's great ter see you 'Arry. You look like Lupin, dead tired and all. 'Ow 'ave you been takin' care o' yerself?" "It's really good to see you too Hagrid" Harry replied. "I'm fine, I have just not been sleeping well." Hagrid looked as if he was going to interogate Harry further, but at that moment, there came a noise from the stairwell and two red-headed people and one person with brown hair were following Mrs. Weasley into the kitchen. Harry stood, grinning. Hermione ran to him and flung her arms around him. "Oh, Harry, it's so good to see you!" She said, smiling. Ron grinned at Harry and held out his hand. "Harry, I've missed you, mate." Ginny Weasley smiled at him and said "Hi Harry". Harry was struck suddenly how very wide and pretty her smile was. He had never noticed before. "It's great to see you all." Harry said as he sank back into his chair. Mrs. Weasley was bustling about in the kitchen making hot chocolate. "Well Harry, I suppose I owe you an explanation." Hagrid said slowly. "We might be here a while, so settle in you three." He said gesturing for Ron, Hermione and Ginny to sit down. They all took seats at the table and Mrs. Weasley set five steaming mugs down in front of them. "Well, it started just a few weeks back."................
