"Their not a very friendly bunch are they?" said Hermione making a conversation

"I've been saying that they aren't for years," replied Harry, "But, no they aint."

Harry looked round to the Weasleys. They just managed to park. Harry and Hermione walked over to them.

"You two took your time," complained Ron, "We just spent ages to park the car and then you finally come right after we park. Typical."

"Hello!" said a cheery voice.

"Hello Mr Weasly!" Harry said.

"Come on! Come on!" Mrs Weasley said waving a hand to bring them closer. Both Harry and Hermione brought the trunk to the car and put it in the boot. Then it started to pour down.

"Quick quick! Into the car. Don't want anyone catching a cold!" said Mrs Weasley. Everyone got into the car, except Harry.

"Come on Harry!" Ron shouted. Harry was getting drenched and went into the car and sat next to Hermione.

'Your drenched.' Hermione said to Harry shifting down at the back seat giving Harry some more room to sit.

'Hermione! Your squishing me!' Ron said angrily.

'Get over it!' Hermionesaid back.

Everyone was silent as Mr Weasly drove out of Privet Drive. They drove slowly for nearly an hour. Not just because Mr Weasly was nervous with the muggles running everywhere but because of the traffic. Harry started to feel down again because of the main fact that Ron and Hermione wasn't talking to him. It wasn't because they didn't want to, it was because they didn't know what to say to him.

'You can talk to me you know' Harry said to Ron and Hermione. Ron and Hermione looked at each other briefly and Ron elbowed Hermione.

'Oww! RON!' Hermione complained. Ron grunted.

'So how's your summer been?' said Hermione getting the hint from Ron.

'How do you think my summers been?' Harry replyed to Hermione.

'Sorry. I was just trying to make a conversation.' Hermione replyed back.

'Are you ok back there kids?' Mr Weasley said in the driving seat.

'Yes dad' said Ron.

'Good' Mr Weasley said back, 'Nearly there.'

'Are we!' Ron said exitidly. He wanted to get out of the car as soon as possible.

'Yep. We sure are!'

'How long?'

'Only about an hour.'

'What?! An hour. How can we be nearly there?'

'Stop complaining Ronald,' Mrs Weasley said to Ron, 'We are closer to getting home then we where 5 minutes ago.'

'But we havn't even moved since 5 minutes ago!' Ron argued.

'I kind of agree with you there. But put it this way then, we are closer to getting home then we where before we departed.' Mrs Weasley said trying to settle it.

'It still doesn't make me feel any better.' Ron said but didn't get a reply back. Ron knew that he won his case.
