Chapter 2: Journey to the Burrow
"You guys have to leave early again?" Claw asked.
"Yeah, Mr. Weasley has a surprise for all of us," Chelsea replied.
"I thought you all hated surprises?" Gollum said.
"We do," Samantha deadpanned. "Ron just wants us to come."
"So, I suppose you want us to head to Hogwarts earlier than usual again?" Arrow asked.
"Yeah, I wish we could just bring you guys with us, but you'd be too noticeable," Amelia stated.
"Alright, we'll head to Hogwarts," Skye said. "How are you all getting to the Burrow though?"
"Train and taxi," Jimmy replied. "The same way we get here every summer."
"Alright, just promise you'll be careful," Abhay stated.
"Don't worry," Bethany replied. "We'll be okay."
The train ride was quite long, but the Elementals didn't remember most of it because they fell asleep.
"Guys, what do you think the surprise is?" Bethany asked.
"I honestly don't know," Samantha replied.
"Knowing Mr. Weasley, it could be practically anything," Jimmy stated.
"He's got an excellent point," Amelia replied.
The taxi ride to the Burrow wasn't as long, but Amelia, Chelsea, and Bethany still fell asleep again.
"Hey, girls, come on, wake up," Jimmy said.
"Huh?" Chelsea said sleepily.
"We're here," Samantha stated.
"Already?" Amelia asked.
"Yeah," Jimmy replied.
The Elementals paid the cab driver and started walking toward the large house.
Hey! I apologize for the shortness of this chapter. It was Harry Potter weekend at my college, and I wanted to post a chapter before it officially ended. Also, there is a hurricane coming, so I don't know how much longer the power's going to stay on. Anyway, special thanks to DevilDragon8 and Bethany, they're great coauthors! Please read and review. See you in the next chapter!
