The Burrow, Part Two
Disclaimer: Don't own either of them, I just own the OC Brian, the Gauntlet, and his pet Worg Lucien.
It was a long trip for Yugi in the flying car. Even though he enjoyed looking at the towns below, it grew old pretty quickly. He was about to go to sleep when they stopped. "Where are we, you guys?" he asked looking around. "This is Harry's neighborhood, and that house down there," Ron said pointing to a home with all the lights off and with bars on one set of windows, "That's Harry's home,". "How do you know?" Yugi asked him. "Well, he told us about what kind of place he lived in while he was at Hogwarts. So remembering the intel he gave us, we're pretty sure that's his place right there," Fred told him.
They descended down to the barred up windows of the home and peeked inside. Harry was asleep on his bed and his white owl Hedwig was in her cage.Yugi was reminded of his own owl, Maya. They "parked" the car outside his window and tapped lightly on the glass. "Harry, wake up! C'mon mate!" Ron whispered loudly. Harry stirred and looked out the window. He blinked a few times then put on his glasses. "Ron, Yugi, Fred and George? What are you guys doing here?" he asked surprised. "We're here to save you, Harry! Step back a bit from the window, Harry," Ron said pulling out a long rope with a hook on it.
Harry went back about a foot and watched as Ron and Yugi attached the hook to the iron bars and test the rope. "Floor it, Fred!" Ron ordered. Fred pressed the accelerator as hard as he could and with a few moments of waiting, the bars flew off with a loud screech. "I hope we didn't wake anybody up," Yugi said looking around. Harry grabbed his trunk and lugged it to the window, Ron and Yugi grabbed the end of it and pulled it inside. Harry was about to climb out when he heard a loud hooting noise. "Hedwig! I forgot her!" he said slapping his forehead. He went to the other side of his room and stopped when he saw the locks on his door begin to undo and shadows on the outside.
He grabbed Hedwigs cage and held her out for them to grab and then stepped onto the windowsill just as the door burst open. A large fat man, a tall woman and a shorter fatter version of the man, stood there staring at Harry. "He's getting away!" screamed the fat man, running to Harry. Harry leapt to the car but didn't get far, because the fat man had grabbed his feet and was trying to pull him back in. Ron and Yugi grabbed Harry's arms and pulled hard. "FRED! GUN IT NOW!" Ron screamed as they began to lose the tug-o-war. Fred put the pedal to the metal and Harry was free of the fat man's grip. He had fallen out the window and landed on his back in a large bush below. Ron and Yugi quickly pulled him in and closed the door.
Fred saw they were inside and flew the car away from the house. "Thanks you guys," Harry breathed. "No problem Harry, by the way, Happy Birthday!" Yugi smiled. During the car ride back, Harry told them the reason why they hadn't got any letters from him, he told them about Dobby, the Warning, and the big pudding that landed on a Muggle's head. For the first time, Yugi told Harry and the Weasleys about Dobby as well. "So, a House-Elf comes to each of our homes, warns us of great danger at Hogwarts, and I get barred in, but you don't at all. Lucky," Harry muttered. "Sorry Harry," Yugi said rubbing the back of his head. "Well if you ask us, it sounds rather fishy," George chimed in. "No, ya think?" Ron glared at his brother.
They made it back to the Burrow just as the sun was showing it's first light. They gently landed on the road and as quiet as possible, drove it back to the spot in front of their home. "Ok, here's the plan," Fred started as they stepped out of the car, "We're going to change back into our PJ's then, Ron, you will come bounding down the stairs grinning and say 'Mum! You wouldn't guess who turned up last night!'. Then we'll all go on from there and no one will be the wiser," he finished as they opened up the door. They looked around and saw no one around, and went. About three inches before Lucien came running in, knocking things down, including Harry and Yugi. They fell hard on their backs because of the weight of the great beast. Lucien began to lick both of their faces and they laughed, trying to get him off of them.
Lucien finally got off of them when he heard someone else come thundering into the room. "Car gone! No note at all! You could've crashed!" Mrs. Weasley yelled at them. Her eyes settled on Yugi and Harry. "Hello Harry dear. Just so you know I don't blame you for their behavior, and I don't blame Yugi," she said gently. "But Mum! They were starving him!" Ron protested. "Well that may be, you don't go anywhere in the middle of the night, in a car, WITHOUT TELLING ANYONE FIRST!" she yelled. Yugi decided to use a trick he learned from Mokuba. He stepped up and gave the biggest puppy dog eyes you can imagine.
"Mrs. Weasley, it wasn't their fault at all, I was really worried about Harry because none of us had heard from all summer, and he never replied to our letters. I was the one that made them drive all the way over there and get him. I'm really sorry, don't be mad at them," he said softly. Mrs. Weasley looked down at the large amethyst orbs that showed signs of watering and sighed. "Well, ok Yugi. Since you were very worried about Harry," she said kindly, ruffling his pointy tri-colored hair. "However, Fred, George, and Ron, you're still getting some punishment. You three are going to de-gnome the garden," she said pulling out a book from the bookshelf.
After having a hurling-the-gnomes contest, Harry, Ron, Fred, George and Yugi came inside laughing. "I still can't believe you threw that one fifty feet, Harry," Yugi said sitting down for the breakfast that Mrs. Weasley had made. "To tell the truth, neither can I, Yugi," he said sitting down next to him. Everyone came down for breakfast and were surprised to see Harry there eating eggs. "When did ya get here, Harry?" Joey asked piling a lot of food on his plate. "Just the morning, Joey, Yugi and Ron came and got me from my house during the night," he said shoveling some eggs in. They all began to eat breakfast when they heard someone coming up the walkway. "Father's home," Percy noted. Harry turned to seea red haired man in robes. "Nine raids in one night! NINE! Mundugus Fletcher even tried to hex me when my back was turned!" he muttered sitting down. He looked over to Harry and raised his eyebrows, "Who are you?" he asked confused.
"Dad this is Harry Potter," Ron told him. Mr. Weasley turned back to Harry "Good Lord! Are you really?" he asked. Bakura rolled his eyes and cursed something in Egyptian. "Ow!" he yelped, reaching down and rubbing his leg. He looked around and saw Set glaring at him. He shook his head and said things to him inthe same ancient tongue. "Oh Ra, here we go," Brian said adjusting his shades. "Brian, let Harry see your eye!" Ron said loudly. Mr. and Mrs. Weasley stared at the group. "What's wrong with his eye?" Mrs. Weasley asked him. Brian kicked Ron from underneath the table. "OW! Ok, sorry!" he said, rubbing his shin.
Mrs. Weasley turned her attention to her husband. "Your sons flew the car to Surrey and back last night!" she snapped. Mr. Weasley turned to Ron and the twins "Is that true?" he asked them. They nodded grimly. "Oh splendid! How did it handle boys?" he asked excited. Mrs. Weasley smacked his shoulder hard. "Ow, I mean. That was very wrong of you boys!" he scolded them. Footsteps were heard and a small redhaired girlcame into the kitchen "Mum,I can't findmy good jumper anywhere," she said before her eyes settled on Harry. She let out what sounded like aneepthen ran back upstairs. Harry looked around "Did I do something wrong?" he asked.Percy shook his head, "Thatwas our sister, Ginny. She's been talking non-stop about you all summer," he explained. "She talked to Tea about you every chance she got!" Ryou told him.
After breakfast, the kids went upstairs and Harry was given a tour of the house. "So, Brian, show Harry already!" Ron nagged. Brian sighed and removed his shades to show Harry the robotic eye. "Wow, you look like that guy from the movie about a robot that goes and kills people in the past," Harry commented. "DOES EVERYONE WATCH THAT MOVIE!" Brian snapped, shoving the shades back on. Harry looked around the home and was greatly interested about everything. Finally he was shown Ron's room, where he, Joey, and Yugi were staying. He saw all sorts of Quidditch posters with people in orange robes. He saw the names Chudley Cannons on them. "Your Quidditch Team, Ron?" he asked with a grin. He nodded, "They're the best. So what do you think of my home, Harry?" he asked him, sitting down on his bed. "This is the greatest house I have ever been in, in my entire life," he said laughing. Ron's ears went pink at the comment.
