Chapter 5
The next morning Lizzy woke up at the Burrow, in Ginny's room. Ginny's bed was empty so she decided to go down to the kitchen. When she got there her Nana was cooking and Ginny and Harry were sitting at the table drinking coffee. Harry looked up when Lizzy walked in, "Hey sweetie, did you sleep well?" Lizzy smiled and walked to her dad and gave him a hug. "Yeah dad, I slept okay. Morning nana, morning Ginny." Molly turned around and smiled, "Morning Lizzy, would you like some breakfast?" Lizzy nodded, "Yes ma'am." Lizzy sat down next to Ginny. She accepted the plate Molly place in front of her and began eating. When Lizzy finished eating she got up and washed her plate then sat back down next to Ginny. "Ginny?" Ginny looked at Lizzy and said, "Yes Lizzy?" Lizzy started rubbing her thumb and middle fingers together. She looked up at Ginny and said, "Well, I was wondering, since we are out of school, can I start calling you mom now? I know it's not legal yet, but I already think of you as my mom."
Ginny smiled and pulled Lizzy onto her lap and gave her a hug. "Lizzy, if you want to call me mom now, I would be honored." Lizzy looked up at her and said, "Okay." She then turned so she could look at her dad, "Hey dad, what are we doing today?" Harry smiled and said, "Well we need to get your mom's stuff moved to Marauders Inn, but that shouldn't take too long. Then I thought since mom has to start school next week for her training, maybe we could go visit some dragons with Uncle Charlie. He is going back for about a month to help some old friends of his. What do you think?" Lizzy and Ginny both squealed with excitement and jumped at Harry with hugs and kisses. "Really, we can go see some dragons," Lizzy asked. Harry smiled, "Yup, Charlie said he would show us the best " Lizzy started tugging on Ginny's arm, "Come on mom let's get your stuff moved." Harry, Ginny, and Molly were laughing. Ginny relented and went upstairs with Lizzy to finish her packing.
They finished packing all of Ginny's stuff in about two hours. Charlie had come to help and Lizzy bombarded him with questions. All Charlie would say to her questions were, "You're going to have to wait to find out." This just made Lizzy that much more excited. They loaded everything into the car (which Harry bought after Lizzy let her fears about fire be known) and drove the short distance to Marauders Inn. When they got there Harry, Ginny, Lizzy and Charlie took all of Ginny's stuff up to one of the rooms on the second floor. When they were done unloading, Charlie left to go pack and the Potter family packed as well. When they finished all four of them meet back in the main sitting room at the Inn. Lizzy asked, "How are we getting there?" Charlie turned to Lizzy and said, "We are going to use a portkey. Have you ever used one before?" Lizzy shook her head. Charlie smiled and said, "That is okay. All you have to do is hold onto the map and when you open your eyes again we will be at my friends place. Okay. We all go together at the same time." Lizzy nodded and looked at her mom and dad. Ginny and Harry smiled at her. They all took hold of the map and they were gone.
