The Weasleys are back.
The next morning Harry awoke forgetting everything that had happened the previous night. He was extremly excited because he would be going back to the Burrow today. The Burrow is what the house of one of Harry's best friends was called. Ronald Weasly and his family were a poor wizard family and they have a very homey place. Harry was going to Ron's house earlier this year. He usually leaves the week of his birthday, but this year he had only been out of Hogwarts for a week. The only reason Harry had even gone back to the Dursleys is because Professor Doubledore asked that he did at least for one night each year. So out of respect for him he did this even though he loathed the Dursleys.
Hogwarts is the name of the Wizarding School that Harry has been going to for the past six years. There is where he met Ron Weasley and his brothers Fred, George, and Percy, and his sister Ginny. There he also found out how is parents really died and who killed them. Harry has considered Hogwarts his home ever since he started.
"Peck, Peck, Peck" came from the window.
"Oh, Hello Pigwidgeon." Said Harry to the tiny little owl at his window. Harry knew this owl. This was the owl that his uncle Sirius gave to Ron at the end of his third year.
"A Letter from Ron I suppose," he said taking the letter out of the tinny bird's beak. The owl nodded as if he understood Harry.
Harry had that affect on animals, but it was mostly on Snakes. Harry is what is called a Parsalmouth, which means he can talk to snakes. He learned this in his second year at Hogwarts.
Dear Harry,
We shall be there at 12 noon. Tell your cousin that if he knows what's best for him he better stay out of Fred and George's ways. They've been inventing all school year and are looking for a sucker to try it on. You don't have to send Pig back we'll pick her up when we get there. See ya soon,
Ron
"Oh, I definitely can't wait." Said Harry excitedly
Harry packed his school trunk and headed down stairs. He put his trunk in the hallway and walked into the kitchen. In the Kitchen he saw his tubby cousin Dudley sitting on the table eating a fat piece of cake. Harry assumed he couldn't reach it from his chair so he got on the table.
"Don't you think it's kind of early to be eating junk food." Asked Harry annoyed.
"Its none of your business what I do and when" Replied Dudley.
"Your actually right. Why should I care if you gain 50 pounds so early in the morning." Harry said with a smirk.
"Oh, Harry darling, I didn't know you were up sweetie how are you this morning." Said a voice that came from the living room into the kitchen.
"I'm fine Aunt Petunia." Answered Harry very sturnly
"Would you like some eggs, pancakes, anything for breakfast?" She asked looking in the refrigerator for more ideas.
"No thank you, ill just have some juice." Harry replied looking over at Dudley.
One would probably think; how is this treating him bad, it sounds like he's treated perfectly fine. Well his aunt has treated him fine, but only. Ever since, by chance Harry found out his aunts secret in his 5th year at Hogwarts, he has been his aunts favorite child. Petunia is the type of person that cares very much what people in "Society" think about her. She is very critical of other people and likes to spend most of her time snooping on the neighbors, But in Harry's 5th year all of that changed. Harry found out that she was a witch but chose to deny it. Ever since then, Harry has been blackmailing her that if she ever treated him bad again; he would expose her to all of her friends.
"I don't know why you treat that wretched boy so good." said uncle Vernon, "He doesn't deserve it. After all we do for him he does NOTHING to repay us."
"Repay you for what? Years of Dudly's hand-me-down clothes? Years of ridicule? Years of the only family I have hiding the real cause of my parents death? Would you like payment for the number of times Duddly tormented me? Or the times your sister talked about me as if I wasn't in the room? Or is it that you would like to be repayed for all the years that you told our neighbors that I was in a school for the criminaly behaved students? I don't think there is enough payment in the world for what you people have done to me!" Harry Snaped. He was tired of year of uncle vernons ' you don't appreciate anything we do for you' speech it was time he knew how he really felt.
"WHAT WE'VE DONE TO YOU? DO YOU REALLY THINK WE WANT YOUR LOT IN OUR HOUSE. We've tried to be a normal family BUT EVERYTIME WE DO YOU DO ONE OF YOUR LITTLE MAGICAL SPILLS AND WE ARE LEFT TO EXPLAIN WHATS GOING ON.!" Screamed Vernon
"Vernon, remember what he knows." Aunt Petunia said to Uncle Vernon with her teeth clenched.
"What dose he know mommy?" asked Dudley.
"Mind your business child or you'll be sent to your room" replied Aunt Petunia.
"Fine then." Said Dudley grabbing the rest of the cake and storming into the living room.
"Oh Tish Tosh, you wouldn't say anything would you boy? Besides who would believe him?" said uncle Vernon glaring at Harry.
"You would be very surprised Uncle," said Harry grinning at Uncle Vernon. "Imagine what it would do to your business, 'Wife of Vernon Dursley found to be a witch', looks like wonderful publicity to me don't you think? Maybe I'll call up the newspaper now!"
"Boy
you watch your tongue or Ill.."
"OR YOU'LL
WHAT?" Exclaimed a voice from the fireplace. It was Mrs.
Weasley. She was always coming to Harry's defense.
"Nothing," said uncle Vernon with a shiver in his voice, "Just telling the how much I love him. Aint that right boy?"
"Hello Mrs. Weasley," said Harry ignoring what his uncle said. "Where is everyone." Just then four more faces appeared.
"Ron, Fred, George, Bill, how are you guys" said Harry excitedly.
"Well if it isn't Harry Potter," said Fred sarcastically," Haven't seen you in ages."
"Oh, leave him alone." Scolded Mrs. Weasley
"Let's go get his trunk," said George
"Alright then" replied Fred racing George to the hallway.
"Did Pig get here yet Harry?" asked Ron
"She sure did. She's in the hallway with Hedwig and my trunk." Replied Harry
" Are you SURE this is everything Harry?" Asked George Sarcastically, lugging Harry's trunk, one of his bags and a few of his books into the living room.
"Yeah, are you sure you didn't forget anything. The load is kind of light." Fred agreed almost falling with the rest of Harry's items.
"Sorry guys, I went Shopping this weekend." Stated Harry sympathetically.
"You went shopping? The Dursleys acutely took you shopping?" asked George in shock.
"George, Hush your mouth. Even if they are evil people doesn't give you the right to talk about them in their own house." Exclaimed Mrs. Weasley
"I beg your pardon. I will not be made a joke of in my own house." Said uncle Vernon sternly
"Well yes of course.. I guess we'll be off now, so that we may make a joke of you in our own house" said Mrs. Weasley. Harry fought with the urged to laugh in uncle Vernons face.,
"Good day to ya then. Common boys. George, you leave that boy alone right this instant. Don't want him growing things where he's not suppose to."
"How did you know that was this candy?" asked Fred surprisingly.
"Oh mum, have you taken a
liking to our inventory?" added George faking a tear. "You
know how great our store is doing.. if you ever want anything just
let us…."
" LET'S GO NOW YOU TWO!"
"Yes
mum." Said the twins in unison
"You two wise crackers fist. Now you Bill.. Ron and Harry you two go now.." Just then Mrs. Weasley's voice faded as he felt though he was being sucked into a small tube.
The next thing he knew he was in the Burrow. 'Home sweet home' he thought as he grabbed his belongings and made his way up to Ron's bedroom.
