Saying Goodbye To The Dursleys
Harry closed his trunk and took a look around the room that had been his for many years. Hedwig's caged was on the now empty desk and she was inside it, hooting joyfully. Harry sat on the bad and staired out of the window at the sun setting. He looked at the letter on the bed next to him.
Harry,
Mum said to send you a letter telling you when we would be coming for you. So I am. We will be coming to get you 3 weeks before the wedding on July 16. In other words, Sunday. 8:00pm sharp.
Ginny
It was short and simple and it broke Harry's heart. Apperantly Ginny had never gotten over Harry breaking up with her. She seemed to be so stiff around anyone when they mentioned his name or when he was around. The only person she never seemed stiff around was Hermione.
Harry sighed as he heard the doorbell ring. He picked up his trunk and Hedwigs cage and his broom and walked down the stairs. Standing in the doorway was none other then Mr. Weasley, Tonks who was holding Lupin's hand, Moody, Kingsley, and this one came as a surprise, Ginny. Ginny was stairing at the ground standing in her father's shadow.
"Wotcher Harry!" Said Tonks gleefully.
"Hi." Harry said to everyone. He tried to catch Ginny's eye but when she looked up she looked at Uncle Vernon, whose mouth was opening and closing like a fish at seeing so many wizards.
"Well, thanks for keeping me for so long. Although you treated me like crap, I am thankful anyway. Now, I am going home, to where some people are nice to me and know how to acctualy cook!" Harry said. He flashed a smile at Aunt Petunia and then struggled to get his stuff the rest of the way down the stairs.
Ginny rushed forward and grabbed Hedwig's cage, which had been about to fall out of Harry's arm. "Thanks." Harry breathed. Ginny looked up at him and nodded. Harry saw what looked like a mixture of pain, anger, and sarrow in her eyes. She rushed back to her father and went outside. Lupin and Kingsley grabbed his trunk and took that outside.
"Bye for good." Harry said. Moody scowled at the Dursleys and everyone else nodded and they left.
There were no cars or anything. Just a pile of brooms on the lawn. Ginny grabbed a broom and watched as Lupin shrunk Harry's trunk. She noticed Harry stairing at her and she turned back around. The others mounted thier brooms and Harry did the same. Ginny got on hers and hung Hedwig's cage from the front. She opened the door and let the bird out. "Go to the burrow." Harry heard her wisper.
"Everyone ready?" Mr.Weasley asked. Ginny merely nodded as everyone else said yes. Mr. Weasley kicked off and the others followed suit. In a matter of what felt like minutes (but was really an hour) they arrived at the burrow.
When they entered the Burrow, Mrs. Weasley screamed and had Harry in a bone crushing hug before he could even say hi. When she was done with the hug she pushed him, along with the order members, into a chair and gave them plates piled high with food.
"Harry dear, did those muggles give you any trouble about leaving? It looks like they haven't fed you all summer!" Mrs. Weasley continued to talk but Harry wasen't really listening. Ginny had come in and rushed up the stairs with out so much as a hello to anyone.
"Mrs. Weasley, I'm really tired. Can't I just go to bed?" Harry asked.
"Oh, dear, of course you're tired silly me. Go on dear, go on." She said. Harry ran up the stairs until he came to Ginny's door.
"Ginny?" He knocked on the door. There was no answer. "Ginny?" He said agian with another knock.
"Hello Harry." Said a voice behind him, causing him to jump. He turned around and saw Ginny standing there.
"Hi, Ginny." Harry said grinning. His grin faded when he saw the hurt in Ginny's eyes.
"I put Hedwigs cage on the desk in your's and Ron's room. Fleur and Bill have Fred and George's old room, or we would've given you that one." Ginny said. She opened the door and walked through it.
"Ginny-" Harry began.
"Goodnight Harry. I'll see you in the morning. Ron and Hermione would've stayed up to see you but, Hermione just got here today too. They had to travel farther so they were tired too. Night." Ginny said. And just before she closed the door she gave Harry a half grin.
'Well it's better then nothing.' He thought. He went down a flight of stairs and came to Ron's room. When he went in Ron was passed out on the bed. Harry didn't even bother to change out of his clothes. He just flopped ont he bed and fell asleep.
