Chapter 14
“Harry. Harry! Harry wake up!” a voice said, bringing Harry out of his dreams. The next thing he knew a pillow was thrown at his head.
“Ow! Ok I’m up.” Harry said jumping up out of bed. He felt around blindly for his glasses.
“Mum is going crazy. She said she’d send the twins up if we don’t get down stairs soon. And she said she’s given them permission to do whatever they want.” Ron said throwing on a clean shirt. Harry went over to his trunk quickly and started to change as Ron’s door opened.
“You two up?” Fred asked.
“Or do we need to wake you up?” George said with a wide grin on his face.
“We’re up. We were about to go down right now.” Ron said trying to balance on one foot so he could put his shoe on the other.
“Well bring your trunks down with you. I don’t think we are even going to get breakfast today
We’re so behind schedule! Dad is not even here yet.” Fred said mimicking Mrs. Weasley.
The twins helped bring down their trunks. Harry smiled to himself, at the familiar atmosphere of the Burrow. People running back and forward, loud noises in the kitchen, and the smell of toast. When Harry walked into the kitchen he saw Mrs. Weasley franticly making food. Charlie was sitting at the table, absentmindedly rubbing his arm where there was a big black burn. Bill was sitting across from him, talking quietly. Fluer was in the middle of walking to the table, holding a pile of toast on a plate. Hermione and Ginny weren’t in the kitchen, but Harry heard movement upstairs.
“Hello boys. Eat quickly. You are all going to be leaving in ten minutes. Girls!” Mrs. Weasley said in fast mode.
Hermione and Ginny hastily joined them. Ginny already had a piece of toast in her mouth.
“You girls all ready? Your trunks are done and everything?”
“Yes Mrs. Weasley. When are we leaving?” Hermione asked.
“As soon as Arthur gets here with the car.” She replied.
“So are you all coming too?” Ron asked looking around the table.
“I am. I’m part of Harry’s guard.” Bill said.
“Yeah I should have figured that. Always needs a guard. I swear you’re like the queen of England.” Ron joked. Harry chuckled at him.
“I would come but I rather stay here and get some rest.” Charlie said.
“It’s alright Charlie. We understand. You get better while we’re away, ok?” Ginny said hugging her brother.
“Yeah I will. Thanks Gin.” Charlie said with a smile, just as Lupin walked though the door. He had a deep cut on his chin that looked fairly new and he had bags around eyes. He was dressed casually in pants and a pale green sweater. His light brown hair was shaggy and starting to grow long. His eyes were a pale brown that had a tint of red in them, from the lack of sleep. He looked exhausted, but a warm smile spread on his face as he shut the door.
“Remus, How are you?” said Mrs. Weasley.
“I’m doing well Molly, thank you.” Lupin said. “Well we should be leaving as soon as Arthur gets here.”
“Who else is coming?” Harry asked, while Mrs. Weasley rushed out of the kitchen to get something.
“I know Mad eye is coming, along with Kingsely. Bill, Arthur, Fred and George too, I believe. I don’t know if Tonks will be able to make it. She had a lot of paper work when I left yesterday.” Lupin said, naming off the people.
Just then a horn honked outside. Lupin got up, strode over to the window and peered outside.
“They’re here.” He said. Everybody got up and walked outside. Mr. Weasley and Mad eye were by a forest green car. Fred, George and Bill came out after them, with all of their trunks.
“Wotcher Harry.” Harry heard and saw Tonks standing a few feet away from him. She had spiky black hair today with bright pink tips. Her eyes were also black. They both matched what she was wearing; a cotton black t-shirt that had a single pink heart on the shoulder. She was also wearing jeans and pink converse that was the exact same color as the heart and the tips of her hair.
“Hey Tonks. Finished your paper work?” Harry smiled.
“It’ll be there when I get back.” She said with a chuckle.
Mrs. Weasley came out next; Charlie with her, who went to say hello to his father and Mad eye. She walked to Ginny and Hermione to begin her good byes.
“You’re not coming mum?” Ron asked as she turned to him.
“No. I’m staying to take care of Charlie. He needs to drink a potion every half hour.” Mrs. Weasley said kissing her son on the cheek. She then turned to Harry and pulled him into a tight embrace. “You take care of yourself, ok?”
“I always do Mrs. Weasley.” Harry said with a warm smile. She returned his smile as he climbed into the car. Lupin got in next to him, sitting by the window. Ron, Hermione, Bill and George got on his other side. Ginny sat in between Tonks and Fred in the front seat, with Kingsely sitting by the window. Mr. Weasley climbed in front of the wheel. There were easily ten people in the car, but it was reasonably comfortable. Harry was able to stretch his legs out in front of him and not kick anybody.
“So how come you came before them?” Harry asked Lupin.
“It was a full moon last night. So I went home to transform.” Tonks had turned around at this point. “Then I came straight her in the morning.”
“You have a new cut on your face.” Tonks said looking at him sadly.
“Don’t worry. I’m all right.” He said with a reassuring smile.
When they got to King’s cross, Fred and George got four carts. Lupin and Mad eye stood on both of Harry’s sides as he pushed his trunk and Hedwig’s cage toward platform 9¾. Bill and Tonks walked with Ginny, Fred and George walked on each of Ron’s sides, and Kingsely walked with Hermione. Each group went through the barrier one at a time after checking the coast was clear, Harry going first. The familiar scarlet train came into view when he got to the other side. Steam was coming from the engine and everywhere there were people scattering to get on the train. Parents stood by a window talking up to their kids. After they had all loaded their trunks into an empty compartment, they went back off the train to say goodbye.
Harry, Hermione. You two will be coming over for Christmas right? Fluer has always wanted a winter wedding. So we are going to get married on Christmas Eve.” Bill said.
“That sounds beautiful. Of course we will be there.” Hermione said, waving to them from the train after they had all got back on. The train was starting to move slowly forward. Harry waved goodbye too, just as they turned the corner and the six of them flew out of view.
