Chapter 18- Family
A/N: Let's see if this solution to the single page problem works
The sun was starting to set upon Diagon Alley by this time, as the sky started to shift from light blue to amber red, it was getting late.
"We should be getting back to the Leaky Cauldron or else Mum's going to kill me" groaned Ron, he seemed to think being out at night with a mass murderer after your best friend was insufficient reason to be concerned. Idiot.
Entering the Leaky Cauldron the environment was much quieter than last night, Orval supposed that the ending of the holidays was cause for the lack of business. There was one family sitting at a table however, the family itself were all incredibly freckled and had flaming red hair. At seeing Harry enter the building, two of the children leaped out of their chairs. These two were identical twins.
"My word Harry, it's absolutely spiffing to meet you" Oh boy.
"My good man, and who is marvellous fellow with you?" asked one of the boys in a mocking tone.
"Shut up" said another boy, this one was dressed more smartly than the other two, though he too had the flaming red hair and the freckles.
"Ron who's this" asked the older of the two women at the table. She was more motherly than the others were, and was the second shortest at the table after the second women.
They explained the situation to the remaining at the table. The two parents appeared to have already known or suspected this, the two twins claimed that Harry was behind Black's break out just to make sure that there's some evil for him to defeat, the youngest girl seemed worried and close to tears whilst the official one took it seriously and wanted to know what the school would do to keep him safe.
"Onto a subject that doesn't include myself in mortal danger" Harry said clearly tired of the arguing around the table that had erupted at how seriously or usuriously everyone was taking it. "How are we going to get to Kings cross?" Harry asked. It was strange that was where the access to Hogwarts was because that appeared to be what limbo appeared to look like.
"The Ministry's providing us cars to drive us there," explained the father.
"Why?" asked the official one.
"Because of you Percy" answered one of the twins, good to have at least one name; no one had bothered to introduce themselves. "They're going to have little flags with HB on them"
"For humongous big head" said the other twin, which everyone barring the adults and the Percy found incredibly amusing for some reason.
"Enough you all need to get packing, We leave at 7'o'clock" said the women.
