Hi readers! Here's a special chapter! Even though its a day late (26/12 here) but Merry Christmas!

It took Petunia a few days to convince Vernon to let the whole family go to the Wealseys for Christmas. Vernon was surprised that Petunia's hate for magic suddenly disappeared all in one afternoon. Vernon was afraid that the Wealseys will be an abnormal family, but on the morning before Christmas day, the Dursleys where standing at the front door, with their luggage and wearing big thick coats.

'When will they be here again?' Vernon said impatiently. Petunia looked at her watch, 'Harry said they'll be here at nine o'clock sharp.' Dudley stick his face on the window, then he saw something, 'there they are!' he shouted. A light blue Ford Anglia just suddenly appeared in front of their door. 'Ok everyone, smile!' Petunia said. Vernon and Dudley formed a big fake grin on their face as they walked out the door.

Harry waved from inside the window, he was so happy to see his family. 'Hi Harry!' Dudley rushed to Harry excitedly, only to slam his face on the car window. Vernon was shocked by his son's clumsiness, he jogged over to his son. 'Sorry 'bout that...' 'It's ok!' a friendly face peeked out from the front seat, the man had a pointy hat with jeans and a red sweater. Vernon was even shocked at the man's hat. He must be a wizard, he thought. 'Hello, I'm Arthur Weasley, pleasure to meet you Mr. Dursley.' he held out a hand. Vernon shook it with his trembling hand, stuttered, 'Vernon.' Petunia placed a large luggage next to the car. 'We'll help you with that!' two similar voice came from behind Petunia, she jumped to see two identical twins. 'I'm Fred and he's George.' Petunia smiled nervously, 'twins...' for a moment she thought it was magic. Petunia looked at the Ford Anglia, which looked it could only fit 5 people, eying her husband and son, she knew they couldn't fit.

Harry came out from the car, 'Don't worry aunt Petunia, this car is bigger than it seems.' he lead Aunt Petunia in the car. There were two extras rows in the back that could fit at least 6 more people, Petunia jumped back in shock. A redhead appeared for behind the seats, 'hello, I'm Ron!' Vernon and Petunia sat together in the row behind Fred and George, while Harry, Ron and Dudley sat together at the back.

The car was driving through the busy roads of Surrey. Mr. Weasley made a fascinated look at every passing car. Suddenly they came to a dead end. 'Are we lost?' Vernon asked. 'No Uncle Vernon, here comes the best part!' Harry said enthusiastically. Vernon can see the ground getting lower and lower, the sky seems to be closer, the car was flying! Vernon and Petunia were dangling their mouths open, screaming internally. Dudley was already shouting 'THIS IS AMAZING!' while Harry and the Weasley boys laughed at his excitement. As the car whooshes away from the city and into the outskirts of Devon.

They arrived at a rather peculiar looking house, it seemed to be stacked together with different houses. A beautiful pond in front. As they got closer, a curly haired woman and a small girl greeted them. Vernon and Petunia were still traumatized from the ride. Dudley looked around with wide eyes. 'Welcome to our home!' the woman welcomed them with opened arms, Petunia hugged her back, while sniffing out danger. 'Hello Harry.' a little girl greeted shyly. 'Hello Ginny!' Harry replied. Ron lead Dudley and Harry inside.

'This is my wife Molly.' Mr. Weasley gestures to his wife, she looked bubbly and smiled, Mr. Weasley turned to the kids, who are all red heads. 'This is Percy, Fred, George, Ron,' the boys waved, Dudley waved back energetically, 'and this is Ginny.' Mr. Weasley referred to the youngest and only girl in the children.

After meeting the family, Ron lead the Dursleys to the guest room. Petunia gasped at the shabby decorations and multiple disordered things around the house, definitely not what she expected, but somehow there was a welcoming warm feeling in this house. Dudley stayed with Harry in Ron's room, where it was decorated with loads of orange posters of wizards than moved in their frame!

The Dursleys slowly warmed up to the Weasleys, that evening everything was smooth. Petunia chatted with Molly and talked about Muggle fashion and family recipes made without magic, Molly was bewildered that Petunia could manage the whole household without magic. Vernon tried to sell Arthur some drills, but Arthur just asked Vernon a bunch of questions about muggles, wowing after each answer. Vernon would constantly ask Harry in a whisper, 'Is he stupid or something? All he talks about is a thing call muggle. What's so great about mugs anyway?' The children played gobstones and ate Fizzy Wizzbees, which made all the children float a few inches off the ground. Dudley ate a lot at one time at Harry and Ron had to tug onto his shirt together to keep Dudley from sticking to the ceiling while he constantly shouted, 'Mum look at me! I'm flying!'

Harry felt like this was the best Christmas ever, even though there was a lot going on in Hogwarts. But only one thing was on his mind, his family.
