The next day Harry woke up to find that Ron had come over and was trying to convince Mrs. Dursley to let Harry go with him. Harry came into the kitchen to see if he could help Ron with his seemingly hopeless argument, but all he got for his efforts was a face full of screaming Aunt. Ron let with the promise whispered to Harry that he would come back with backup.
After Ron left the house Mrs. Dursley gave Harry a massive list of chores to get done that day. It had been added to while Harry was talking to Ron because Mrs. Dursley was really upset that another freak had dared enter her house. She told Harry if anything like that happened again and he didn't finish his list of chores he would find himself locked in the cupboard for a month if he was lucky.
Harry quickly left to do the chores set for him that day. When he looked at the list Harry hoped that Ron would come back with backup as soon as possible. The list held all of his least favorite chores and all of the chores that he found the hardest. With the threat of the cupboard Harry set out to do the impossibly long list. He started with mowing the lawn. He was big enough now that this wasn't as hard as it used to be, but the Dursley's had gotten the biggest push lawn mower they could find making it as hard as they could for him.
By the time Harry had finished mowing the lawn Ron had returned. Ron ran over to see what Harry was doing. Harry soon saw Ron's two brothers Fred and George following. Harry wondered how they had gotten there, but Ron was too busy asking Harry what he was doing.
"What are you doing? What was that thing you were pushing? Why aren't you packing? What did your aunt do to you after I left before? Sorry I took so long! I would have been back sooner, but mum and dad were too busy to make a port key for me. It took forever to get Fred and George to come with me. They thought it would help me gat ready for Hogwarts if they made me do it myself. I finally managed to convince them though." Said Ron as fast as he could.
Harry stood there for a minute trying to figure out all that Ron had said. Once he figured it out, he quickly answered all of Ron's questions. Both Fred and George were looking at Harry and Ron with funny looks. It took Harry a moment to figure out that they were silently laughing at him.
"You'll have to excuse Ickle Ronniekins." Said Fred.
"He's a little hyperactive today." Said George.
"Shall we go inside…"
"And rescue you form this supposedly evil Aunt of yours."
"Or do you want to stand around all day…"
"And continue this fascinating conversation about lawn eaters?"
"It's a lawn mower." Corrected Harry quietly.
"Whatever" Said Fred and George in unison.
They went inside and Fred and George quickly convinced Mrs. Dursley to let Harry go with them. Mrs. Dursley wasn't going to argue with the big strong scary looking twins. Harry wondered how they had gotten so strong. He wasn't much of a weakling himself from doing so many hard chores since he was small, but the twins seemed to have muscles on muscle. Harry knew right then that he wouldn't want to get on their bad side. He also made a mental note to ask them why they were in such good shape. Normally he thought it was nice when people were in good shape, but they were in such good shape they looked scary!

Once away from the kitchen, Harry was pulled over to and old shoe by Ron. Ron, Fred and George were all hanging on to the shoe as if it would do something.
"Come on Harry grab on to the shoe. We need to get home." Said Ron.
"What? How is a shoe going to get us to your house?" Asked a very confused Harry.
"It's a portkey. Duh? Stop joking around and grab on. Come on Mum will be mad if we don't get home in time for lunch."
"Portkey? What the heck is a port key? And how is a smelly old shoe going to get us home?!?"
"Come on grab on to the shoe I'll explain when we get home. Yeesh Colonel Hagrid said you didn't know much, but a portkey? How do you not know what a portkey is?" exclaimed Ron.
"So I just grab on?"
"Yup. It's really simple."
"Ok."

"Ummpf"
Harry, Ron, and the twins landed abruptly in front of a house that looked like it should have fallen down long ago. Harry realized it must be held up by magic, because there is no way that house could stand on it's own without some miracle. Since Harry just learned about magic, he considered that enough of a miracle to hold the house together! After staring at the house a while and realizing he was sitting down, he assumed that's how he landed, he looked around to see what Ron and the twins were doing. He was shocked when he saw them laughing at him!
"What?" Harry asked wondering what was so funny.
"Its just…" said George trying to stop laughing.
"The look on your face!" Finished Fred also trying to stop laughing.
"Yeah, we knew you might be surprised by all the magical things. We never expected you to be this surprised though. Or that it would look so funny!" Said Ron after conquering his laughter.
"Hey! It's not that funny." Snapped Harry a little pissed that they would laugh at him.
"RONALD, FRED, AND GEORGE WEASLEY! HOW DARE YOU LAUGH AT HIM!"
Harry jumped at the sound of someone screaming. He turned around to see who was shouting and wished he had just ignored it. He saw a large woman barreling towards them, Harry assumed it was his friends Mother, looking like she wanted to tear some ones head off. From what she was yelling it would be his new friends heads.
"YOU KNOW HE JUST HEARD ABOUT MAGIC YESTERDAY!!!!! I BET YOU DIDN'T EVEN TELL HIM ABOUT THE PORT KEY BEFORE DRAGGING THE POOR BOY HERE!!!! I'll deal with the three of you later." Yelled Mrs. Weasley, thoroughly scaring Harry. Then continued in a much more pleasant manner completely ignoring her sons, "How are you doing deary? I hope My boys didn't completely weird you out. I'm not sure that they understand the concept of not knowing about magic your whole life. It must have been awful. Come inside your as skinny as a rail. If I didn't know any better, I'd say those muggles weren't feeding you at all!"
"Muggles?" asked Harry.
"Non-magical folk deary."
"Oh."
Needless to say, Harry was overwhelmed. First this horrifyingly angry woman came out screaming all over the place. Then as if nothing had happened, she started fussing over him as if it was something she did everyday. She dragged him and everyone else inside the magically standing house. Once inside he was surrounded by four new unknown people. He assumed they were related to Ron, Fred, George, and Mrs. Weasley, due to their matching red hair.
