The car was five miles from Manchester when Harry's appetite decided to make itself known. "Uh sorry about that," he replied as he tried to tame his stomach. "Don't worry about it we're all hungry," McGonagall replied as she handed him a candy bar from her purse. "Thanks," he replied as he tore into it. "I would of thought you of all people Minerva would be against desert before supper," Snape quipped. "Being that he hasn't eaten since eleven this morning and it is now almost eight I think we can make an exception," she retorted. "He could have waited ten minutes. We're almost to town," he sniffed. "Oh Severus be nice to them," Alisia sighed, "It is rather late and we're all… Severus watch out!"
He swerved but too late to avoid the truck that smashed into their passenger side. The force caused the wagon to smash into a green mini-van, and as all three cars span out onto the side of the rode they narrowly missed hitting the others cars along the way. "Bloody Hell," Snape exclaimed as he wrenched himself from the steering wheel! He turned around asking, "Is everyone alright?" "I-I thank so," Minerva replied shakily. "A little banged up but nothing serious," Albus replied. "I think I'm alright," Harry said shaking some of the glass out of his hair, "wait a minute… where's Alisia?" "The others look around but could not see her till a small raven landed on the hood of the car and transformed into Alisia. "I'm okay," she replied as she climbed off the car, "I forgot to put my seatbelt back on and flew out of the windshield. Thank Merlin for being an animagus!" "I should say so," Albus replied as he and the others crawled out of the side of the car to assess the damage done to all the cars and people.
For several minutes Harry was left alone next to the car as the Snapes went to check on the truck and the Dumbledores to the mini-van. 'I just can't believe it,' he thought to himself, ' my grandparents are two of the most powerful people in the wizarding world and my uncle is my Potions Master! Will the magical world ever cease to surprise me?' At this point he looked over to see Snape wildly screaming and gesturing to the couple in the red truck scaring them out of their wits, till Alisia whispered something in his ear that immediately made him calm down. 'No,' he chuckled to himself, 'I guess they never will. But still what do I do now? Do I welcome them or not?'
Alisia
angrily walking past him and calling him to join her at the trunk of
the car promptly pulled Harry out of his muse. As he walked over to
join her he could here her continually ranting about the other people
in the truck. "Of all the idiotic things too… never in all my
days have I seen… those stupid muggles… Oh if I wasn't so mad
I… well any way here Harry take this to Severus please," she said
handing Harry a small cell phone and taking a black medical bag from
the car headed toward the others in the mini-van. As Harry walked
toward the Professor he decided that having all of them as a family
might not be such a bad thing after all. He decided he would wait and
see how it went.
"Here you go Uncle Severus," Harry replied
handing the Professor the phone. "What… oh thank you P-Harry,"
he said curtly as he began to dial a number, "You can go back to
the others if you wish." "Yes sir," he replied smiling at the
flustered appearance he had invoked in his teacher as he walked over
to his grandparents and Aunt.
