Chapter 8
Harry looked everywhere but they were no where to be found.
He decided he would go to the Ministry of Magic to get his apparation license.
Since he was 17 now he could get it.
Little known to anyone else, he was actually studying for it.
He went and took the test.
He passed, barely.
It was getting late, so he apparated back to the Burrow.
Everyone at the Burrow expected Harry to come through the door.
He didn't. He came through the middle of the room. He actually didn't land on anybody.
Everyone heard a pop and turned around to see Harry in front of them.
"Surprise, Happy Birthday!" everyone screamed.
"Thanks, you guys" Harry responded, with hugs from people, and hand shakes from people, and some pats on the back.
The people there included, Mr. and Mrs. Weasley, Bill, Fleur, Charlie, Fred and George, Ron, Hermione, Ginny, Lupin, Hagrid, Professor McGonagall, Tonks, Mad-Eye Moody, Aberforth Dumbledore, and the Patil twins.
Dobby might have been around, you never know.
There was a huge cake. After cake it was presents time.
(I really don't know what gifts to give to Harry so I'm not going to put any here)
All the gifts Harry got were great.
Everyone was glad that Harry got his apparation license.
Harry and Ginny told everyone that they were in a relationship. They were much less than thrilled.
Well they still let it happen so that was progress.
They also reluctantly agreed to let Ginny go with Harry and Ron and Hermione, on their mission.
They also accepted Ron and Hermione's relationship.
(I know I forgot to tell all of you in the beginning, but Bill and Fleur are already married. I just realized that, so I thought I'd tell you)
The next day….
Harry came downstairs for breakfast.
"Morning" he greeted Mrs. Weasley, Mr. Weasley, Bill, Fleur, Charlie, Fred and George, Ron, Hermione, and Ginny.
"Morning" they all greeted Harry at the same time.
"What's for breakfast?" Harry asked sitting down at the table.
"The works" Mrs. Weasley said.
"Could I please have some?" Harry asked.
"Of course, Harry" Mrs. Weasley responded.
While Harry was getting his food, Mr. Weasley asked Harry a question.
"Harry, what do you plan on doing today?"
"Well I plan on going to 12 Grimmauld Place to sort things out there, probably clean up a little"
"That is a good idea Harry. We should come with you" Ginny said.
"Alright, I'm going to go now, so whoever wants to come, follow me" Harry said.
Ron, Hermione, and Ginny got up and attached themselves to Harry in someway so he could apparate them to 12 Grimmauld Place.
It was hard for Harry to take them all at once but he did it.
