Chapter 1
It Begins
Hermione knocked on the door to the burrow. She waited for what felt like20 minutes before Ginny finally opened the door. She had a hopeful expression on her face(in the hopes of Harry standing there.), but it quickly disappeared. Hermione saw her disappointment and giggled. Ginny rolled her eyes and invited her in. The Weaslys had been expecting her and the greeted her warmly. Mrs. Weasly offered her a tall glass of milk and some fresh baked cookies. She took it thankfully and had a bite. Ron walked toward her and asked how her summer went.
She told him that she spent most of her summer on Myspace and AIM. He wondered what that was and she saw the confused look on his face. She laughed softly and told him about AIM first. She explained that it stood for AOL Instant Messenger and it was a way to talk to your friends over the internet.
"You type in your message and push 'send' and your friend receives in seconds."
"Amazing! It's like an owl that travel at the speed of light!"
"Sure Ron. Let's go with that." Hermione said laughing.
Next she explained Myspace to him.
"All you do is upload a picture, add friends to your list, and tell people a little bit about yourself."
"Huh?" Ron asked, obviously confused.
"It's mostly a competition to see who has the best profile and more friends."
Still confused, he replied "Sorry I asked." She shook her head.
While he was explaining how his new owl was even worse than the last one they replaced it with, there was a second knock on the door. George got up to answer, but Ginny pushed ahead of him and raced for the door. She stopped in front of the door and before reaching for the doorknob, she fixed her hair and brushed her clothes off. When she opened the door, she practically knocked Harry over when she gave him a hug. Hermione leaned over and whispered to Ron, "We can see who she likes better." Referring to the "slightly less " greeting she had received earlier. Ginny (while still hugging Harry), wished him a happy birthday and finally let go. Harry greeted everyone and they all wished him a happy birthday. He sat down on an empty armchair and Mrs. Weasly placed some milk and cookies on the table in front of him. He took a rather large gulp of milk and set the glass back on the table. Everyone flooded him with questions about that awful family he was staying with in the muggle world. Mr. Weasly quieted them all down to tell them the plans for the next day.
"Yesterday we received all of your school supplies lists (including Hermione and Harry) so tomorrow we will all go to Diagon Alley."
"Awe!" Ron grumbled.
"WHAT?' Mrs. Weasly shouted.
"Whenever mum takes us to diagon alley, we have to wake up before the butt crack of dawn."
Everyone laughed at this wise crack but Mr. and Mrs. Weasly.
"Well this time I was going to wait until about 3:00pm, but Ron, you get to wake up at 4:30 am to do all of the chores around the house.
"Bloody hell! 4:30?"
"Yes Ronald, 4:30"
"Okay everybody, it's getting late, we better eat dinner and get ready for bed." Mr. Weasly said.
Fred asked Mrs. Weasly what they were having for dinner. She told him that she cooked chicken, mashed potatoes & gravy, and soup. Everyone rubbed their stomachs and licked their lips. Yummy! Just as they were all sitting down, there was a third knock on the door. Who could it be? They weren't expecting anymore company.
