Chapter 5: Ready Or Not
Harry was sitting on his bed staring at his homework. He had to get it done but he couldn't concentrate. He started flipping through the books when a letter fell out. It was the letter he had got a few days ago that he hadn't read yet.
Dear Harry
Hi. How are you doing? I really hope you're okay. And hopefully the Dursley's are treating you better and a bit civil this year. You should go to Ron's, I am I just have to write him back to tell him. And my parents said that we could come and get you, if you want to go. It would be great if we could get together this year. Well . . . Please come Harry, it wouldn't be the same without you.
Love: Hermione
Wow, what should he think? Hermione has been writing him all summer, and pretty much all of her letters were like this one, but more. He hasn't written her back yet, it's not that he's trying to be mean and ignore her, but he hasn't really known what to say.
Dear Hermione,
Hi. I'm all right and going to Ron's sometime. I have to do some things first. Thanks for offering to come and get me but that's ok. For you to pick me up would be like you going to Ron's from your house back to yours then back to Ron's again. Anyway Bill and Charlie are going to come and get me, when I come over. But thanks again for offering. And could you please thank your parents for me too? I'll see you at Ron's.
Harry

Brandy was sitting on her bed doing her homework when an owl flew to her.
"Another letter from Hogwarts. Thanks. They've got me curious now."
Dear Brandy,
I hope you are well. We have received you letter and have arranged for you to come to London. There is a plane ticket and a map that will help you get to the Leaky Cauldron (muggles can't see it) enclosed. We'll be able to explain better when you get here. We will be waiting at the Leaky Caldron, just ask for us, Albus Dumbledore and Minerva McGonagall. They will show you where we are.
Yours Sincerely
Minerva McGonagall
Deputy Headmistress
PS. Don't be surprised if people recognize you.
She put her hand in the envelope and pulled out the map and plane ticket. The ticket was for extremely early morning July 31st. She couldn't believe it. She was finally going to find out, . . . well she wasn't sure what she was going to find out . . .
"How will I tell my parents? . . . Maybe I'll tell them that I'm going to learn about the school . . . well I kinda am . . . but not only that . . . . July 31st . . . I can't wait!"
A few weeks later Harry realized that if he wasn't ready to go to Ron's yet, he probably never would. So he wrote Ron.
Dear Ron,
Hi mate. I've got as much done as I'm going to. So, I can come anytime.
Harry
PS. Tell Hermione I said hi.
He gave Hedwig the letter and went downstairs. He stopped on the stairs when he heard his aunt and uncle.
"He's been acting very strange this summer. More so than usual."
"I noticed Petunia. He's able to go to his weird friend's house and he's still here. There's something wrong with this picture."
"Should we worry Vernon? With him being what he is and all."
"No, no dear, I'm sure he'll be gone soon enough. And then everything will be alright."
Harry had heard enough. He walked into the family room.
"I've written Ron. I should be leaving soon."
How soon is soon? Asked uncle Vernon.
"Not sure. Charlie and Bill are going to come and get me."
"Who are they? People like you?"
"Umm.... They are Ron's brothers."
"They are not coming here again!!"
"They've never been here! They are his oldest brothers! You've never met them!!"
"Don't get that tone with me boy!! They better come the NORMAL way this time!! And in NORMAL clothes!!"
**********
"Charlie! . . . Bill! . . . Harry wrote, that he could come anytime!"
"All right, you wrote Hermione that we would pick her up right?"
"Yup."
"Ok, Write them both back and tell them that we're on our way."
"Right. I'm on it."
Dear Hermione,
Harry just wrote, he's ready to come. So Charlie and Bill are on their way. See ya.
Ron
PS. Harry said hi.
"Pig Come here . . . I got a letter for you." He gave the letter and told him to take it to Hermione.
Dear Harry,
Hi. Bill and Charlie are on their way. See you soon mate.
Ron
"Here Hedwig can you take this to Harry please. Thanks for hanging around."
A/N please review. I'd love to know what you think.latas
