DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN HARRY POTTER.


It was Tuesday and once again, Amelia had to go to work. However, Harry and Susan were in for a big surprise. For, this time, Remus and Mrs. Abbott were going to take them plus Hannah to the Burrow where the Weasleys lived.

Harry was very excited about finally getting to play with his new friend Ron.

Sadly, Amelia had to leave for the Ministry early in the morning, but she did not leave before getting her children ready, feeding them their breakfast and hugging and kissing them goodbye. Harry cried when Amelia was about to leave but after a tight hug, a long kiss and getting his cheek nipped, he stopped crying.

Sometime later, around 10:30 am, Mrs. Abbott arrived at their doorstep with Hannah in tow. Hannah beamed and hugged her friends upon seeing them.

After making sure the doors and windows were locked, Remus went to the living room where Mrs. Abbott and the children were waiting.

Remus asked, "So, who should go first?"

Mrs. Abbott replied, "I think you and Harry should go first. He needs to know what travelling by floo is like."

Remus picked up Harry saying, "Now Cub, this is something that you might like, but it could be dangerous if you're not careful, so listen to what I say carefully."

He moved over to the fireplace and took a handful of some kind of powder from a nearby urn.

Showing it to Harry, he explained, "This is floo powder. We can use it to travel, but you have to say where you want to go before dropping it into the fireplace. It won't hurt. Now watch."

Harry's eyes widened with curiosity as they stepped into the fireplace. Holding Harry in his left arm, on his shoulder, he raised his right hand and called out loudly, "The Burrow," before dropping the powder.

And they disappeared from the living room in a burst of green flames.

Harry felt himself spinning. He quite liked that sensation. And some moments later, Remus stepped out of an opening and into a nice living room of a house known as the Burrow.

Remus asked, "How was it Harry? You ok?"

Harry grinned at that saying, "Okay."

Remus set him down saying, "I suppose you liked it. Now why don't you go say hi to Ron?"

Harry looked ahead and saw a very familiar red headed boy.

"Ronnie," Harry cried out, rushing to hug him even as Ron cried out, "Harry!"

After a hug, Harry looked up and saw a red haired woman that he had seen in St. Mungo's, Ron's mother.

Molly Weasley hugged him saying, "Good Morning dear Harry."

Harry looked at her and said, "Good morning uh…, Auntie."

Molly smiled and replied, "Well, you can call me Aunt Molly or simply Auntie if you like."

Just then, a small red headed girl hiding behind Molly peeked at him and waved.

Ron said, "This is my sissy Ginny."

Harry waved and said, "Hi Ginny."

Ginny said, "Hi" before moving over to hug him.

Molly smiled at the scene. Of course, Ginny had been there at St. Mungo's when Harry had gotten his checkup but they had only waved to each other that day when Amelia had taken Harry to get his glasses.

Speaking of which, Molly couldn't help feeling worried upon seeing Harry's glasses. He was such a small child.

By then, Mrs. Abbott, Susan and Hannah had arrived.

Molly turned to Remus who was standing next to her and said, "I hope you don't mind me asking, but why is Harry wearing glasses at this age?"

Remus replied, "Well you see, he has short sight. His father had short sight too, but he definitely got glasses only after he was 11 or 12. Luckily, Harry's eyes aren't too bad apart from that."

Molly exclaimed sadly, "Poor child!"

Meanwhile, Ron had said hello to Hannah and Susan and now they were sitting on the carpet and getting ready to play Chutes and Ladders that Remus had brought along with a few of Harry's and Susan's toys that they had insisted on taking so that they could share.

Harry, Susan and Hannah had some small animal toys in their hands and had decided that they were going to use them on the board. Harry's was a small green welsh dragon that actually belonged to Susan but was shared. Susan's was a pink unicorn. Hannah's was a purple unicorn, and Ron's was a lion.

Suddenly, Hannah piped up, "Okay, can I go first?"

Ron cried out, "No, I want to go first."

Susan cried out, "Aunty says no fighting."

Harry cried out, "Both of you go first."

Hannah cried out, "No, we can't both go first. I want to go first!"

And soon, Ron and Hannah were screaming their heads off.

Molly and Remus were just about to intervene when suddenly, another red headed boy, definitely a kid but taller than all the other kids, stepped into the living room and pulled them apart saying, "No fighting. Mum says it's not good to fight."

Both Ron and Hannah cried out, "I want to go first but he/she won't let me!"

The boy said, "Ron, let her go first. You go second."

"Is that okay?" he asked, turning to the other two. Harry and Susan nodded in response.

Molly smiled and bending down so that she was at their level, she said, "This is Ron's older brother Percy. Percy, these children are Harry, Susan, and Hannah."

Harry said, "Hi Percy."

Percy said, "Hello Harry, Susan and Hannah."

He then said, "Ron, let Hannah go first, then you, then Susan, then Harry."

Harry and Susan didn't seem to mind, nodding with neutral expressions on their faces, but Ron pouted.

Molly warningly spoke, "Ron, come on, it's not such a big deal if you don't play first. You have to share. Did you hear me?"

"Yes Mummy," Ron replied, looking sorry.

Looking at Hannah and Ron, Molly said, "No screaming and fighting, okay?"

They replied, "Yes Mummy, sorry," "Okay Aunty, sorry."

Molly then smiled reassuringly and patted the kids on their heads. Turning to Remus, she said, "Just give me a moment. I'd better go find those two twin boys of mine."

With that, she left the living room. Percy went to the side to read a book.

While Remus proceeded to explore the place and the surroundings, Mrs. Abbott chose to watch the kids and make sure that nothing went wrong.

Hannah had just rolled a die when suddenly, two redheaded boys, both looking alike, arrived in the living room and sat just behind Ron.

Ron said, "These are my brothers Fred and George. My other brothers are Bill and Charlie but they are not here now."

As if on cue, both boys spoke simultaneously, "Well hello."

Harry noticed that one boy had the letter F on his shirt, and for the other one it was George.

Harry pointed to the first one saying, "Fred," and then to the other one saying, "George."

Fred and George spoke, "Hello."

"You guessed our names right."

"But only because of our shirts."

"You must be Harry, Susan and Hannah."

"Could we play with you guys?"

Harry smiled and said, "Okay, but first Hannah, Ron, Susan, and me. Then you."

Fred smiled and said, "Sure. George can go after you Harry and I'll be after him."

"Okay," Harry replied.

Fred and George took two small enough toy cars that Harry handed them to play the game and then they started.

After some time, Harry, much to his surprise, won the first game. They played a second game with Ginny joining in this time with a tiny bear figurine and this time, Hannah won.

Then Ron said, "Let's go fly."

Harry grinned saying, "We go fly."

After packing the board game, all the kids went out of the living room and out of the house to a shed where a few toy broomsticks were kept. Ron and Harry each took one. Susan came and sat behind Harry, and Hannah behind Ron. Fred and George took their own broomsticks and Ginny went and sat behind Fred.

They then took off and proceeded to fly around the house before coming back to the shed so that others could get a turn. Susan and Hannah took over the brooms and Harry and Ron got on to the ones that Fred and George were using behind them, with Ginny sitting behind Susan on the broom she was using.

For the third round, Harry got to pilot a broom with Ginny sitting behind him, who squealed in delight. Next, Ginny flew with Harry sitting behind her. Luckily, as the brooms were all toy brooms, it was alright, considering that they were very small children, Ginny yet to turn three and Harry, four.

Some minutes later, Molly came to call the kids for lunch.

They rushed into the Burrow and had to wash their hands at the sink before sitting at a dining table kept just outside and being greeted by a sumptuous feast.

It was fantastic. There were several dishes about including cheese casserole and Molly had even included watermelon slices, which Harry enjoyed greatly.

Harry sat at the table in between Ron and Susan as Molly served them their food and kissed each one on the cheek. Harry felt delighted when Molly kissed his cheek and hugged her. She hugged him back.

Harry was on his second slice of watermelon when Molly came over to him and said, "I see you're enjoying your watermelon slices."

Harry smiled and nodded.

Molly smilingly said, "That's a good boy. It's important for young children like you to have fruits."

After lunch, since it had been quite a heavy meal, Molly did not want the little ones to take a nap right away. Instead, she let them play board games for a while and then read them a story before letting them have a nap in the living room on cute little beds on rugs that she had spread for them.

They slept for a while and then woke up.

Later on, around 4:30, it was time for Harry, Susan and Hannah to go home. Amelia had told Remus that she would be back around 4:30 or 5, so when Harry was told that it was time to go home, he didn't throw a huge fuss. He looked sad but upon hearing that Aunt Amelia was coming home, he brightened up at once.

Before Remus and Mrs. Abbott left with the kids, Molly hugged them saying that they could come any time they wanted. Remus was quite happy with how things had turned out. He would have been glad to speak to Molly's husband Arthur, but he was still not home from work.

Hannah and her mother flooed back directly to their house, and Remus, Susan and Harry flooed over to the Bones Residence. Luckily, as Harry and Susan were small, it worked out well for everyone.

As soon as they reached and Remus had asked the kids if they were okay, Harry rushed over to the front door and tried to open it.

Remus, holding Susan's hand, opened the door. Harry rushed out immediately and stood near the car, expecting to see his Aunt Ami coming down the sidewalk.

A minute later, Harry saw a woman in black robes walking down the sidewalk, close to the Bones Residence.

It was someone with yellowish brown hair, and a smile of excitement on her face.

As soon as the woman saw Harry, she began running towards him, her arms outstretched.

Upon reaching him and Susan who by now was standing next to him, she knelt down to their level and hugged them calling out, "Oh my babies, I'm home! I'm home now, I'm home!"

Harry and Susan hugged her tightly crying out, "Aunty, Aunty!"

Unfortunately, none of them, not even Remus, were aware that from behind a tree on the opposite side of the road, a pair of black eyes was observing them.

And there snarled a voice, "So this is the Potter brat!"
