Chapter 5: New Car & Visiting
The last week of summer flew by until August 30, when Lily decided that they should visit her sister.
"Do I have to go?" Harry whined.
"Yes," his mom said sternly.
"Of course you should visit with family," James said. He turned to his wife, "Do I have to go?" he asked.
"YES!" Lily practically growled from frustration.
James's new car was parked in front of their house in Godric's Hollow. "Arthur helped me pick it out," he told his son. "He also made some modifications; he told me to ask you about the Invisibility Booster and a flying gear."
"He put those in there!" Harry demanded before he broke down laughing.
"What do they do?" he was confused by his son's reaction.
Harry recovered and shrugged, "Just what they say they do. The flying gear makes the car fly and the Invisibility Booster keeps people from seeing the car."
James thought Harry was pulling his leg, "Cars can't fly."
"Mr. Weasley used to have one that flew; until Ron and I crashed it into the Womping Willow at school," Harry said. "Besides, why can't a car fly? Sirius's motorcycle did," he pointed out.
"Oh yeah, it did," James's face lit up as he thought of the possibilities.
"Don't bother, dad," Harry warned. "It's okay to own a flying car, but it's illegal to actually fly it."
"Where's the fun in that?" James demanded. "Wait, if it's illegal to fly one, how did you crash one into the Womping Willow?"
"Ron and I missed the train." James cocked an eyebrow at him. "It's a long story, I'll explain it some other time."
Harry got tired of the silence as they drove to the familiar house on Privet Drive. "Mom, why do we have to go?" he complained.
"Because," she replied, "we have to make sure you got all of your things. Besides, I haven't seen my sister in almost sixteen years; seeing as you two ran off without me last time you went."
That's probably a good thing, Harry thought as he remembered the looks they had received when Harry and his dad had appeared at the Dursleys' door. Lily had been helping Madam Pomfrey care for the wounded from the final battle when Dumbledore suggested that James should go get Harry's things and move them to their new house. The Dursleys had been shocked and confused, to say the least, to find a dead man standing on their doorstep, but Harry had to admit that Aunt Petunia and seemed genuinely happy to hear that her sister was alive.
When they got to the Dursleys', they all piled out of the car and trooped up to the front door; James rang the doorbell. Suddenly, the door banged open, and Petunia flew out and caught her sister in a huge hug, "LILY! You're alive!"
