She signaled for Harry to go next.
He took some, gulped and stepped into the fire.
"Diagon Alley." He said, and then he to was gone.
This was undoubtedly one of his worst ways to travel. Soon, after he was starting to feel sick, he landed............. the Leaky Cauldron.
He somehow managed to land without falling over which was a shock to him.
The rest of he Weasleys and Hermione appeared and they set of round the back of the Leaky Cauldron to the wall - the entrance to Diagon Alley.
Mrs. Weasley tapped the brick which opens the passage way with her wand and the bricks opened up to reveal the ever amazing Diagon Alley to them. It was buzzing with Witches and Wizards alike, all busily talking, shopping and doing the odds and ends as they were called.
Mrs. Weasley led them through the buzzing crowd to Gringotts. They were soon on their way around the cold and dark underground. Ron looked slightly sick, and a little green. So when they finally stopped outside Harry's vault, he let out a relieved sigh.
When the vault was opened, Harry grabbed handfuls of coins, shoved them into his bag and hurried out. He always felt a little uncomfortable with his vault, especially with the Weasleys, but this soon went away when their vault was opened.
Inside, different from last time, it was quite full of galleons, sickles and knuts. It pleased Harry, they definitely deserved it.
After this, they went to get all their school supplies. Soon, bulging with many bags, and having talked to many friends, they went to get some ice- cream from and sat down, happily enjoying eating it especially in the heat that had come with the midday sun.
Hermione had more bulging bags than Harry and Ron since she was taking eight subjects and they were taking five. Harry and Ron took four of the same subjects (Defense Against the Dark Arts, Transfiguration, Charms and Herbology). Ron had not been able to get into Potions, as he didn't get an O, and that was the only grade Snape would accept into his class. So while Harry done Potions, Ron was doing Care of Magical Creatures.
They now wondered down the street, the coolness of the ice-cream making them not as hot as the rest of the people in the street, who were seeking refuge inside the shops, where cooling charms had been placed.
Mrs. Weasley had now placed a charm on their bags, to make them fit inside their pockets. They were able to move their arms freely. Now, they headed for the best shop. This was Weasley's Wizard Wheezes.
They entered, to find the shop empty, apart from Fred and George. The walls were packed with products, some which Harry recognized from last year.
"Hi Fred, George, but where is everyone?" Ginny asked.
"Well Ginny," said Fred, "We are closed for lunch, but you are all welcome. Ah Harry.."
George came over to Harry.
"Welcome to the fruit of your investment. And as a thank you, we are allowing you to have a huge discount. And the family of course....." he said as Ron glared at him.
They started grabbing many things, and the hats, which Harry recognized from last year, were sitting on a high shelf.
"It will be good to put these on under the invisibility cloak, so no-one who sees us will know who we are." Thought Harry.
Soon, after buying practically one of everything in stock, Fred and George led them upstairs, for some food and drink.
They talked for a while, Mrs. Weasley leaving through the fireplace to go check everything at the Order. Soon, Fred and George gave them a tour. It turned out that they had house-elves to help make their stock, as it was in such demand. (Hermione wasn't very pleased about this).
They had apparently tripled the money Harry had given them already, and that was just so far in the holidays.
Mrs. Weasley came back, and led them to the Leaky Cauldron, but not before they met Neville Longbottom. He was a forgetful boy, but ever since he had come with them to the Department of Mysteries, they thought of him as brave. It still pained Harry a bit, but as Dumbledore said, he would begin to accept it.
"Hi Neville." They all said at once.
"Hi." Neville replied.
"So, did your Grandmother kill you for breaking your dad's wand?" Hermione asked.
To their surprise, he smiled.
"No, whenever she found out what happened, she started going on about how I lived up to family honour. I thought I was going to burst." He grinned.
They continued talking for a while, and agreeing to meet up tomorrow on the train, they headed back to the Leaky Cauldron.
But on the way, they were stopped by more people, all who they knew well.
After talking to a lot more people, they finally reached the Leaky Cauldron.
After coming back by Floo, they quickly went up to Ron's room. (Ron, Hermione, Harry and Ginny that is.)
After having a heavy dinner and hot chocolate, Mrs. Weasley sent them to bed telling them they wouldn't be as tired in the morning.
Doesn't she know teenagers!
Anyway, they walked up the staircase, the boys leaving the girls on the floor below, and they headed up to their room.
They were soon asleep.
Ron dreaming of Quidditch, and Harry having another training session inside his box, this time with weapons.
Hi everyone! Sorry this has taken so long, but I have been VERY busy!
This chapter isn't the best, and I have writer's block a bit at the moment, but it will go away soon! (touch wood - though I'm not superstitious!)
