Harry Potter and the Shadowed Heart
Chapter 4 Coming into the Burrow"Oi Mum! Harry's going to be at Diagon Alley today!" Ron yelled coming down the stairs. As he had expected Ginny immediately stuck her head out.
"He is?" she demanded brushing her tangled hair out of her face.
Ron smirked, "Yeah but you might want to get cleaned up before seeing him." Ginny flushed angrily and he ran from her murmured Bat-Bogey Hex. He entered the kitchen to find Bill and Fleur were practically snogging each other at the kitchen table while Mrs. Weasly stared dumbfounded and Mr. Weasly was trying very hard not to laugh hysterically.
Ron entered the room and stopped dead in his tracks, after a few seconds he grumbled, "Get a room you snogging gits." Bill flushed and pulled away mumbling an apology.
Fleur grinned at everyone completely oblivious to their embarrassment over their display at the table. Ron sat down and refused to look at Bill who after a few moments of silence decided it was a prudent time to disapparate and did so with a loud crack. Mr. Weasly took a deep breath to rid himself of the urge to laugh and Mrs. Weasly shot him a particularly nasty look.
"Ron, are you meeting Hermione and Harry in Diagon Alley and bringing them back here?" Mrs. Weasly asked glancing at her youngest son from the stove.
"Yeah, I should probably go pretty soon, never know when Hermione or Harry will show up there." Ron said grabbing a piece of bacon and moving towards the fire.
"I'm taking the Floo Powder Mum!" He yelled as he tossed the powder into the fire and with a quick shout of, "Diagon Alley." he disappeared.
Harry dragged his trunk into the twin's store and was greeted with a bright and cheery "Hey ya Harry!" George called from behind the counter.
"You're a bit early aren't you?" Fred asked grabbing his trunk and heaving it behind the counter.
"I guess so, but I was a little eager to get started. Not to mention the sooner I left the sooner I didn't have to see the Dursley's." Harry said with a grin.
Fred laughed; "I can imagine." he turned to threaten two boys who had tried to pocket a few Extendable Ears.
George waved his wand and a bottle of butterbeer appeared floating in front of Harry, "Enjoy!" he said cheerfully.
Harry laughed and grabbed the cup out of the air. He sat behind the counter and watched the twin's run their business in an incredibly efficient manner and he couldn't help feeling slightly pleased that he had helped them start out. A few minutes later the fireplace in the corner blazed green and Ron came out spinning like a top.
"Ron! Watch the ashes!" Fred and George yelled at the same time making everyone in the store laugh and Ron blush scarlet.
"Hi Ron!" Harry called waving as his friend crossed the store and stepped up beside him.
"Hi Harry, when did you get here?" he asked looking around for signs of Hermione who hadn't shown up yet.
"Just a few minute's ago, took the Knight Bus." Harry replied looking up as the door opened and Hermione entered, she was dressed in Muggle clothing as Ron and Harry both were and she smiled when she caught sight of them.
"Hey you two, sorry I didn't get here sooner. I had a hard time trying to decide what I should bring. I figured the magical supplies would be a must and then some clothing obviously…"
"Right." Harry said efficiently cutting off her speech. Hermione stopped mouth open and then she grinned, "Sorry." Ron laughed and she rolled her eyes.
"Well since we're here why not go over to Gringotts and get the rest of our money and Hermione can exchange what Muggle money she had for wizard money and so we can have that on hand." Harry said getting up from his chair.
Ron flushed, "I don't have any money." He muttered.
Harry grinned, "Actually you do. I wasn't supposed to tell you but Fred and George have set aside a fund for you, they swore they would only give it to you if you followed in their footsteps and I think you've done that." Ron's jaw dropped and he turned to the twin's who had over heard and were now very flustered.
"I don't know George, you think dropping out of school to take on Lord Voldemort counts as being reckless and a full class troublemaker?" Fred asked his brother who was grinning.
"He may not compare to us but he gave the authority a run for their money. I say we give it to him." George said patting his younger brother on the shoulder. Ron had gone bright red and he had the most ridiculous grin on his face.
"Does Mum know you were doing that?" he finally asked.
"What do you think? Mum we're setting aside some money in case Ronny-Poo every decides to follow in our footsteps, hey maybe you'll even get that Hogwart's toilet seat you always wanted!" George said in an overly bright tone.
Ron grinned and turned to Harry, "Yeah let's go and get OUR money." he said his excitement barely contained.
Fred tossed him a small golden key with a stern almost comical look; "Now don't spend it all in one place!" Harry and Hermione followed Ron out of the store laughing. The sun was shining brightly and the weather was warm but not unbearable.
Hermione pulled her hair away from her face and glanced at the two of them, "So…what now?" she asked hesitantly.
"We go to Gringotts and get some money. Then we'll sit down and figure out what to do." Harry said quietly. Hermione nodded and went back to glancing into the shop windows as they passed them.
