Harry and Ron stumbled into the Weasley's kitchen for breakfast. Ron hadn't mentioned the events of the previous night and Harry was happy to let him forget. They plopped down at the table and began to butter their toast. The last few weeks had just flown by for Harry, he couldn't believe that his month at the Weasley's was almost done. In just a few days Harry Potter, Hermione Granger and the Weasley troop would head off to Diagon Alley to buy their school supplies.

"Would you like some orange juice Harry dear?" asked Mrs Weasley kindly.

"Please and thank you," Harry replied before biting into his toast.

Ron's younger sister, Ginny, and older twin brothers, Fred and George, entered the kitchen and joined Ron and Harry at the table. Fred and George scratched their heads as they poured themselves a drink. Ginny looked over the paper.

"Do you know when Hermione is coming Mom?" she questioned over the paper, she looked at the front page where the Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge paced back and forth in his office.

"Not until dinner," Mrs Weasley waved her wand at the sink and the breakfast dishes began to wash themselves. "Eat up so I can finish cleaning."

"C'mon Harry," Ron managed through a mouth full of toast, "lets go upstairs, I need to hide all of our school books before Hermione comes and makes us do review."

Harry laughed with Ron as they bounded up the stairs into Ron's room. Hermionie was Ron and Harry's best friend, but she was still a little obsessed with school. She was always the best at everything. They really didn't mind Hermione being like that, as long as she didn't bother them too much.

Harry was excited to go back to school, he missed playing Quidditch and he missed the castle itself. All those passage ways, strange rooms and trick staircases; Hogwarts was Harry's true home. Harry even missed his classes, well not potions or divination, but strangely enough Harry missed Hagrid's classes, which were always a surprise. The next few days couldn't go by fast enough.

...

Just before dinner, as Mrs Weasley said, Hermione arrived with her large trunk. She was going to stay with the Weasley's for the next five days and then she would get a room with them at the Leaky Cauldron until they left for King's Cross Station.

When Hermione saw Harry and Ron she ran over to them and threw her arms around Harry in a big hug, and then moved onto Ron, although she was a little more reserved.

"Well, I hope you two went over some of last years notes, you know we have our OWLs this year," Hermione folded her arms across her chest. "You two better buckle down this year, these tests are important."

"You know Hermione," Ron said while giving her an evil look, "you could at least wait until classes started, no, until we got to school before you start with that! We still have a week of perfectly good summer vacation, and I refuse to let you ruin it with thoughts of school."

"He has a point Hermione," Ginny smiled as she walked over and joined the group. Hermione gave Ginny a large hug. "There is still a week of care free laying about and I plan to work very hard at doing nothing and avoiding thinking at all costs."

Harry beamed, "That is the best thing I've heard all afternoon." Ginny smiled shyly and looked down at her feet.

"Amen," came the voices of Fred and George from the next room over.

"Have the twins stopped with the joke shop yet?" Hermione asked in a hushed voice.

Ginny shook her head, "No, we don't think so. It has been quite a bit quieter in their room this summer, but I have a feeling that they didn't give up on their dream just yet."

Harry smiled to himself, he knew that they hadn't, not too long ago Harry had given them money to fund their business, the money he won in the Triwizard Tournament. The twins were not giving up on their joke shop dream and nor would they in the near future. Even their mother, try as she may, couldn't get them to stop. One could always see them in the Gryffindor common room handing out experimental candies and taking orders for items they had already perfected. Those twins were nothing but trouble.

"Kids," Mrs Weasley called from the kitchen, "please come and set the table, dinner's almost ready."

Everyone willingly went to the kitchen to help, Mrs Weasley always prepared a scrumptious meal, which included Harry's favourites.

....

Nami had been told that a friend of Dumbledore's would meet her at Nathaniel's house and then escort her to the inn where she would spend the remaining week of summer holidays. He would be there at 11:30 am and it was now almost noon and there was still no sign of him.

Nathaniel sat at the kitchen table and waited with Nami. He didn't know if he approved of this school for magic, but Nami seemed so happy to go, Nathaniel couldn't tell her no. He hadn't seen her this happy in almost a year, how could he voice his opinion when it meant so much to the girl that was like his own daughter. He couldn't and that was it.

"Thank you for letting me go Nathaniel," Nami looked at her guardian with her deep green eyes, "this means a lot to me."

"Anything that makes you happy child," Nathaniel smiled. Those green eyes were always so sad and over the last year they had gotten deeper and more heartbreaking. When he looked into those eyes it made him want to cry, such sorrow, the loss of both her parents had scarred those beautiful eyes forever. Nathaniel reached deep into his pocket and pulled out a bunch of British notes. "Nami I want you to take this," he passed Nami the notes.

"Nathaniel," Nami stuttered, "I can't take this."

"Yes you can and you will. It will make me feel much better. You can use it to buy your school books, that list was long, it won't come cheap."

"Thank you," was all Nami could say. It meant so much to Nami that Nathaniel was trying to help her, with her father gone he was all she had.

//You have me too, you know,// Kaya snorted, //I support you just as much as Nathaniel.//

Nami smiled, /Yes, I know, I didn't mean to forget you. Your support also means a great deal to me./

//Well, it'd better.//

"What are you smiling at?" Nathaniel asked giving Nami a strange look.

Nami laughed out loud, "Oh, I was just thinking about school, how fun it will be to go away to school."

"Make sure you write often and tell me how it is going, I'll mail you and tell you where I am. That reminds me, what is the address of this school?"

Nami thought for a moment before answering, "I don't know, I don't think I saw an address on any of the stuff they sent me. We'll have to ask the man that was supposed to be here forty-five minutes ago!"

Nathaniel laughed as someone knocked on the door. "I'll get it," he stood from the table and made his way down the hallway to the front door, Nami trailing behind him.

Slowly Nathaniel opened the door and standing outside was Dumbledore's associate. He was huge, beyond belief large, almost twice as tall as Nathaniel and about three times as wide. Enormous was the only word to describe him, enormous and untamed. His face was half hidden behind a wild mane of dark hair, bushy eyebrows and a big beard.

"'Allo, name's Hagrid, Rebeus Hagrid. I'm Dumbledore's friend," he had to bend down to squeeze through the front door. "I'm here to pick up Nami Edana."

Nathaniel was still in shock about the sheer size of Hagrid, so Nami extended her hand, "Hello, I'm Nami," she said in English.

Hagrid shook her handed, more accurately her whole body, for she was almost lifted of the ground by Hagrid. "Lovely to meet ya," was all Hagrid had to say.

Nathaniel regained himself and offered his hand as well, "Professor Nathaniel Hunter, I'm Nami legal guardian."

"Guardian eh?" Hagrid inquired.

"My partner, Professor Edana, has been missing for the last year, in his will he listed me as Nami's guardian," Nathaniel explained.

"Oh, that's sad," Hagrid seemed a little uncomfortable. "Sorry 'bout being late, had a bit o' trouble finding the place. But we best be off Nami, we're behind schedule, Tom at the Leaky Cauldron's expecting us."

"Just before you leave," Nathaniel put in, "we didn't see a mailing address for the school, how should I address letters to Nami?"

"Mailing address? I don't think we got one of those," Hagrid scratched his head. "Nope, just use an owl, we don't bother with the muggle post."

Nathaniel raised an eyebrow, "An owl? What would 'the muggle post' be exactly?""

Hagrid sighed; he'd forgotten that he'd have to explain such simple things. "The muggle post is your normal mail system, wizards use owls to deliver the post. There are owls at the school that Nami can use whenever she wants, and they'll wait for you to finish writing a response before returning." Nathaniel still looked confused but nodded his head in understanding, Hagrid moved for the door, "Like I said, best if we'd be going Nami."

Nami smiled, tears welling in her eyes as she hugged Nathaniel goodbye, "See you soon," she wiped a tear from her check.

"Be good, work hard and have fun," Nathaniel walked to the door opened it and watched Nami and Hagrid leave together.
