Disclaimer: I own nothing. Harry Potter belongs to J.K. Rowling
This chapter will give the Weasley's point of view since the story began. It will start just after Harry has entered the floo at the Burrow. It's going to be a slightly shorter chapter since it will be mostly filler.
This chapter is dedicated to . Happy Birthday Fred, though by the time I post this it will probably be a day or two late. I gave you speaking lines in this chapter. Aren't I totally awesome?
Chapter 4
Weasley Interlude:
Ron stared at the fireplace waiting for Harry to show up. Everyone else had gone through. They were just waiting for Harry and his mum, who said she would be the last to go through the floo. When his mum appeared in the floo instead of his best mate, he knew something was wrong. Harry was supposed to go first not his mum.
"Mum where's Harry?" he asked, concerned for his friend. "Wasn't he supposed to floo here before you?"
Molly glanced around the room in search of Harry.
"Arthur has he come through yet?" she asked.
Arthur shook his head. "No, we haven't seen him yet. He must have gotten out at the wrong floo grate."
"Oh dear, that poor boy." she said. "I hope he is somewhere close by. We should all split up and go look for him"
"Ron, Fred, and George start searching near the apothecary. Ginny, your mother and I will look near Flourish and Blotts. We'll meet back at Gringotts in an hour." Arthur instructed, concerned for Harry.
There were many fires in which one could end up in. The red-haired family split up and began searching Diagon Alley, all hoping that he was somewhere safe and close by. But, with Harry's luck and his uncanny habit of having trouble always find him, they wouldn't find it strange if he ended up somewhere dark and dangerous, or even in another country.

Ron, Fred, and George split apart from their family in order to head for the apothecary, looking for Harry on the way there. Diagon Alley was more crowded as usual due to the rapidly approaching school year. The streets were filled with students and their parents scrambling around trying to get everything they needed for the year to come. It would be hard for them to find anyone in the crowd. Every time one of the three young Weasleys saw a black haired boy, they would pray that it would be Harry, only to be disappointed every single time when they saw it was not who they were looking for.
About half an hour into their search for Harry, Ron saw a flash of brown bushy hair as Hermione ran up to Ron and pulled him into a hug.
"It's good to see you again Ron. How was your summer?" Hermione asked.
"It was good; it's nice not to have Potions with that greasy git of a professor and those slimy snakes every day." Ron said in a tone expressing both relief and annoyance at the same time.
"Ronald!" Hermione exclaimed. "You shouldn't talk about a professor like that. It's going to get you in trouble one of these days."
"I can't help it. He is a rotten teacher who favors his own house and has it out for all of Gryffindor." Ron said. "Have you by any chance seen Harry at all today?"
"No, I haven't seen him since the end of the school year. Wasn't he staying with you for the end of the summer?" Hermione asked.
"Yeah, he is staying with us until we go back to Hogwarts, but he had an accident with the floo. We think that he must have ended up coming out at the wrong floo grate." Ron said. "Now the whole family is looking for him. We just hope that he didn't end up somewhere where he could be in danger."
"Where have you checked so far?" Hermione asked. "Is it possible for him not to be somewhere in Diagon Alley?"
"Mum, Dad, and Ginny are checking near Flourish and Blotts while Fred, George and I have been searching the area up until the apothecary." Ron answered back. "He might not be in Diagon Alley but hopefully he didn't miss the right grate by too many. If he is not in Diagon Alley, he might have ended up in Knockturn Alley, which wouldn't be good. All of the dark witches and wizards shop there."
"Well, I'll help you look. Maybe with an extra pair of eyes we will find him sooner. It's so crowded here that you might have missed him." Hermione said.
"We'll search until we hit the apothecary." Ron stated. "By that time he will hopefully be found, if not we will still need to meet my parents by Gringotts Bank."

The three Weasleys and Hermione searched all throughout Diagon Alley in order to find their missing best friend. They were almost to the apothecary and yet there was still no sign of Harry and their hour was almost up. They went inside of the apothecary only to be disappointed when Harry was still not found.
"We should start to head back to Gringotts. We don't want Mum and Dad to think that we have gotten lost and are now missing as well." Fred said.
"Yeah for all we know, they might have found him by now and are simply waiting for us." George said trying to keep their hopes up. He didn't like to see his family be so sad. It didn't seem normal for their usual crazy and fun family to be so somber.
The four children left the apothecary with feelings of sadness and anxiety, wondering what had happened to their friend. They started to head back to meet with the rest of their family when Ron saw a shape moving within the shadows.
"Look, what's that over there?" Ron exclaimed.
"I don't see anything Ron. It's just your imagination." Hermione said.
"There it is again, over there near that alley way." Ron insisted. "I saw something moving."
"I think that's the way into Knockturn Alley." Fred said.
"I wouldn't get to close. Who knows what will be coming out from there?" George said.
The shape began to move closer to them and more into the light. Soon they were able to see that the shape was not some sort of creature. It was a human that had a black blob with it, though the closer it got, they could tell it was a child with a giant dog. Suddenly, the person became clearer until Ron realized who that person was.
"HARRY!"
AN: Yes, chapter 4 is done. Sorry it's so short. It is meant as a sort of filler. The story will continue with Harry next chapter. The interlude was going to be added earlier but then I held off until later. After a virus a few months ago the file became MIA. When I went on an organizing frenzy, I found it saved amongst my pictures. It was only about 200 words so I had to add to make it complete.
