Harry walked outside and over to Mrs. Figg's house. He rang the doorbell, and she came and opened it. "Oh, Harry, dear. What a lovely surprise. Yes, do come in. Would you like some tea?"
"Oh, no Mrs. Figg, but thank you. I was just coming over to see if I could use your Floo powder please." Harry said politely.
"Sure, dear. Oh, unless I am very much mistaken, today is your birthday, correct?"
Harry nodded his head, and Mrs. Figg said, "Well, alright. Wait for a bit, okay?" Harry nodded again and she walked into her back room. It was about 2 minutes before she came back, holding a long object. "Happy birthday, dear." Harry ripped open the packaging, and saw the new Firebolt 2.0.
"Wow, thanks, ma'am! This is great! Just what I needed. Now, can I use the Floo?"
"Oh, yes, dearie. Just this way." She led him to the back room, where there was a fireplace and a large cup of what Harry recognized immediately as Floo Powder.
He grabbed a pinch, still clutching his new broom, and cried out clearly, "Apparition Center, Ministry of Magic!" Suddenly he was spinning furiously around and around until he came out of another grate, which was surprisingly clean.
"Hold on kid, I'm helpin' a customer." A teenager with a pimply face yelled.
Harry nodded and sat down in a chair, just to see another kid Harry recognized as Ernie MacMillan appear out of nowhere and take a certificate of passing. "Hey Harry. Its easy, apparition. Go ahead and try. See ya at school." And with that, Ernie disappeared with a small pop.
"Next!" The teenage wizard called. "Alrigh'. Name?
"Harry Potter."
The teenager's eyes widened as they found the scar on Harry's forehead. "Kay, Harry. The name's Rob. Okay. Time for apparition. I need you to concentra' really hard on your house and say 'dissipatus.' Then, when you are there, concentra' on this room, and speak the same incantation. Ready? Oh, wait. I need to hold your broom." And with that, Rob took the Firebolt 2.0.
Harry concentrated, not on 4, Privet Drive, but the Burrow. "Dissipatus!" And Harry felt a strange feeling of being squeezed and then he was at the Burrow. He looked around at the familiar place, wishing he could stay there. But then Harry concentrated on the M.O.M. room, said the incantation, and squeezed. He ended up looking at Rob, who was holding a certificate of passing. Harry took it, thanked Rob, and apparated back to Privet Drive. Unfortunately, he landed in the kitchen, where the Dursley's were eating dinner. He made a loud CRACK and watched as the Dursleys yelled at him. But Harry didn't pay attention. He went right upstairs, shrunk all of his possessions, and put them in his trunk. He then went back downstairs, said to the Dursleys, "I bid you, edeau," and apparated to the Burrow.
