Chapter 4

Lupin apparated Harry back to Number 4 Privet Drive.

Then Lupin left for home.

Harry went upstairs and found his newly acquired possessions there.

Those just made him cry even more.

He also found an owl amongst the possessions.

The owl had a letter.

He took it from the owl and read it.

Harry,

I can't stand that you won't talk to us. Why? I know what has happened in the last two months has been really hard, but you have to face it. Ron tried to stop me from talking to you until you were ready but, I couldn't take it anymore. You can't hide yourself away from everybody. We're your best friends. We want to talk to you on your birthday, which just happens to be next week. Please come to the Burrow. We don't hate you for not talking to us, we're just worried.

Your Friend,

Hermione

Harry immediately found a backpack and shrunk everything he wanted, and put them in the backpack.

Since it was night now, he could get on the Knight Bus.

He ran out of the house in his Invisibility Cloak to make sure his 'family' didn't see him.

He walked down the street until he heard the familiar honking of the Knight Bus.

He asked to go to the Leaky Cauldron.

When Harry got to the Leaky Cauldron he begged Tom to give him a room.

The next morning Harry got his backpack and he went to a fireplace, and flooed to the Burrow.

At the Burrow….

"Mum, someone is coming from the fireplace" Ron said from the living room.

"Really, I wasn't expecting anyone. Were you?" Mrs. Weasley asked, coming in from the kitchen.

"No" Ron said back.

Before anyone could say anything else, Harry came through the fireplace.

"Harry!" Ron screeched.

"Harry! We didn't know you were coming. We weren't expecting you. I'm happy you're here!" Mrs. Weasley yelped, while hugging Harry so tight, he couldn't breathe at all.

When she let go Harry spoke.

"I'm sorry, I should have sent a letter. Can I stay?" he asked.

"Of course dear" Mrs. Weasley responded.

"Come on mate, put your stuff in my room" Ron said.

They both went upstairs to Ron's room and Harry put his backpack in there.

Ron said that Hermione was in Ginny's room.

Harry went to Ginny's room to find both girls talking on her bead.

He knocked.

Hermione and Ginny turned around and saw who they thought they'd never see in a while.

"Harry!" Hermione screeched.

She ran to Harry and hugged him so tight, just like Mrs. Weasley.

She let go and smiled.

"Harry I'm so glad you're here. I didn't think you would show up. What made you come?" Hermione asked.

"I'll talk about it later. I really want to talk to Ginny" he whispered in her ear.

She didn't need to say anything more. He didn't need to say anything more.

Hermione left the two alone to talk.

"Ginny…"

"Harry…"
