A/N : Ok, so here's another…I was bored.
Chapter 9—The Arrival
Harry and Alexia arrived at a huge front door. The sky outside was turning black. She knocked three times on the door. A gruff voice yelled from inside "What's the password?"
"I'm selling Wheezy Wonders at the cheapest prices anywhere. Our special is the Pigmy Puffs, cute little furball pets." Harry stifled a laugh. The door opened enough to allow them to squeeze through. As soon as they had entered, the door closed with a thud.
The room was dark and gloomy; Harry wondered whether it was the right place. The windows were barely there and dust flew around with every step. There was no noise and nobody in sight. Who had let them in?
"This way." Alexia commanded. Harry followed her, seeing as how she looked convinced in the way she was going. She led him down a hallway; to the left, right and left again. There was another door. It was locked. She knocked a rhythm on the door and it opened. Harry gasped at what was on the other side.
"Hey Harry. You guys are right on time," Charlie smiled. "Welcome to Romania. Of course, this is only a piece." But it was a big piece. There beside them, was the most miraculous view of trees and rivers and city Harry had ever seen. There was also a house to the left of him, which had taken his eye.
"That's where we stay," Charlie acknowledged the house.
"You stay there? Not in that other—" Harry had pointed to the other house they just entered from but it was gone. There was nothing. "It's an illusion?"
"Yes. It is. It is seen from the outside and you can enter it, but it is merely a door. There is no house there. It's to throw people off. We came up with it a while back," Charlie laughed. "It is really quite useful."
Harry looked around him. This was something extraordinary. He certainly had never seen anything like this. "Let me show you were you two will be staying." Charlie led them into the house. The inside was something to talk about. The walls were a light blue, as the sky was outside, and the carpets green like grass. There was even a breeze that flew through the house. The small house seemed to grow as they walked farther.
Charlie led them up the stairs to two rooms. "The whole floor will be for the family when they come. You and Ron's room is there and yours is here," Charlie directed. Harry put his belongings in the room and walked back down with Charlie.
"How was the trip?" Charlie asked.
"Fine. What do you know about Alexia?"
"Well, she's been in the Order for years and her family is dead. Her sister is—why are you asking?"
"No reason." When Alexia re-joined them, Charlie took them on a tour of the surrounding parts of Romania. And to the Dragons…Harry reported to bed shortly after, anxiously awaiting the sleep that was due him.
A/N : I know this is a short chapter and probably not the best but I had to get Harry to Romania and settled in before the Weasleys came. I wanted it done so the good stuff could begin…(duhn duhn dun) Don't forget to REVIEW!
