Chapter 13: At the House

Ron and Harry waltzed in as if nothing happened and Fred and George followed a few minutes after because they were putting away the brooms. Hermione came down stairs and saw that Ron's face was quite pale and walked over to him.

"Ron what's wrong?!" questioned Hermione.

"Well, Harry and I we-" Ron started to say before Harry elbowed him hard in the side.

"We were just putting our brooms away and we saw a, a, a, um, funny shaped cloud!" Harry said completing Ron's sentence. Harry grabbed Ron's arm and dragged him upstairs. "You !" screamed Harry, "You almost told Hermione!! Do you know how many lectures she'll put us through and how we should go tell Dumbledore?!" Harry asked while yelling.

"Sorry I just get lost in her eyes and I forget what I'm saying...I'm sorry." mumbled Ron.

"It's OK I do the same thing with Ginny It's fine. Let's go downstairs and talk to Hermione but not about you know....." replied Harry.

"OK I got to ask her about when the letters are coming. You know with Hogwarts and everything." replied Ron. They two young wizards walked downstairs. Hermione stood puzzled at the bottom of the stairs muttering to herself, "clouds....? what?"

"Hey, Hermione do you know when the letters ar-" Ron was interrupted my a loud squaking coming toward's them. It was Pig with some letters for them from Hogwarts. Ron grabbed his and quickly scanned it.

"Hey you guys do you want to Diagon Alley tomorrow?" asked Ron.

"Um, Ron we don't "want" to go we have to go silly!" exclaimed Hermione. "But I'm excited about this years books. People say this will be the best year yet! I'm so happy!"

"Jeez, Hermione I didn't know homework could make anyone so happy!" teased Harry.

"Oh you know how I am! I love books!! And well Ron don't you tease me either!" said Hermione strictly.

"Hermione you know I would never say that to such a pretty girl!" chuckled Ron. Hermione turned crimson and hugged Ron. Ginny came jumping down the stairs.

"Ron, thanks you always make me feel so special." Hermione whispered into Ron's ear.

"Well I try," replied Ron.

"Hey enough with the smoochy smoochy talk lets go talk to Mrs. Weasley about going to Diagon Alley tomorrow!" Harry butted in. Ginny just stared.....

"Yah, yah, yah well come on we could even go right now then spend all of Tomorrow hanging out looking for Neville, Thomas, and all those other people we scared half to death at the party we through. You know the one that Mrs. Weasley exploded about." Hermione announced. Ginny still quiet.

"Love could you not bring up that little incident about my mom her memory could come back to her and it gives me and Ginny the shivers!" Ron replied nervously. Still Ginny quiet...

"Sorry my sweet." apologized Hermione.

"Is it just me or are you the corniest people I've ever seen!" laughed Harry. Finally Ginny said something it was a giggle....

"It's just you!" Hermione and Ron exclaimed together. Harry rolled his eyes.

"Hey mum!" Ron yelled.

"Dear come in here to talk to me, I can't hear you!" Mrs. Weasley screamed back.

Ron dragged himself into the kitchen and the two friends followed. "Hey can we go to Diagon Alley today?"

"If that's what you want OK! Well get ready and come back down when you look more mugglish!" said Mrs. Weasley cheerfully.

The friends ran up to the rooms they slept in and quickly changed. Ron switched into a green sweater and blue jeans. Harry kept what he had on because the only close that he had were from the Dursley's house and those were all muggle clothes. Last Ginny changed into a new shirt and tanktop she just bought when they went to the muggle mall, Hermione did the same. They headed back downstairs, "Hey mum were all ready now lets get a move on it!" Ron screamed from the living room.

"OK dears meet me out at the enchanted car!" Mrs. Weasley yelled back.

"Oh yes!" Ron screamed with a happy look in his eyes.

"Oh, yes dears sorry to get hopes down again but were not flying it were driving it!" Mrs. Weasley chuckled.

"Oh...." Ron's face turned back to its normal weird lopsided state.

They walked out side and skipped to the car hand in hand (LOL I'm kinda in a Happy Happy mood so yes lets all skip!! yay!!) They all squeezed into the car and starting from the left the order went: Ron, Hermione, Ginny, Harry. Mrs. Weasley hobbled over to the car and took a seat. She started up the car in a jiffy and they were off.

The whole time they didn't say much but Hermione and Ginny talked their mouths off on the way there. When they arrived everyone was kinda wobbly from the long crammed drive. They went through the leaky cauldron and the secret door entrance and there eyes were immeadiately filled with joy. They were where they belonged. Everyone loved the site's of owls and and wizardry stores and all their old friends.

They all stayed close because they was so many people they could easily get lost. Hermione ran to the nearest book shop and started to pile up on books. Ron came in with her to see if all he books that his brothers had given him were here and then he pouted at the markings in his hand me down notebook.

"That Fred and George...look at all the ripped pages!" sighed Ron, "Oh, well and Ron continued looking for his old friends when he looked back in to the book store he saw Krum talking to Hermione. Ron got up all the courage he could muster and marched over there.
