LOVE ISN'T EASY (but it sure is hard enough)

JULY 31ST, 1995 (CONT)

Harry Potter's second favourite place in the world was The Burrow, only just falling behind Hogwarts. The first time he had ever visited was actually in a very similar manner to how he had made his way there three years later, except this time there was only one ginger in the car, and all four wheels were firmly planted on the ground.

"How you feeling?" Juno asked, the question directed at the girl who was holding so tightly onto the steering wheel that her knuckles were turning white.

"I don't know."

Dom leaned over to turn down the radio, the once blaring sounds now a quiet lull in the background. Rustling trees were now the loudest things they could hear as the fields all blurred into one, the bright green leaves and blue skies painting a completely peaceful picture.

Liv stopped the car just before they got to the final field on the edge of Ottery St Catchpole, putting the brakes on and turning to face the four people in the back seat.

"Okay, just a heads up. They are going to use magic, they're Purebloods."

"Are they gonna treat us differently? I mean we're three gay... what do you call us?"

"Muggles."

"Yeah."

"The Weasleys are the nicest people I've ever met, they'll love you." Harry reassured them, smiling at his three new friends.

"So what are we waiting for then?" Rory asked, relaxing back into her seat and wrapping her arms around Mabel's waist.

"Liv's gonna finally let us meet George!" Dom sighed dreamily, laughing as Liv reached back to swat him.

"Another thing- if any of you embarrass me I'm driving you home. Got it?"

"Yes Mum." They groaned, and Harry could see them playfully roll their eyes through the mirror.

She started the car back up, driving into the field on the edge of the village. Dom had the camera in his hand, pointing it through the gap in the middle of the car. The yellowing grass gradually turned bright green, thick trees casting dark shadows over the road. And then, the house came into view.

"Holy shit." He mumbled.

The Burrow was a tall, towering building that looked as though if the wind blew in the right direction it would completely topple over. There were four or five chimneys sticking out from different parts of the roof, smoke pouring out from each one. The drive up to the house led to a huge garden, overgrown grass and wildflowers that were vibrant and colourful lining the way. Arthur stood beside Molly in the doorway, keeping an eye out and waving at the group when the green convertible slowed to a stop. Dom's camera panned around to the awed expressions of the girls and Harry's massive grin.

"Harry, dear, it's so good to see you again!" Molly said, pulling him into a warm hug.

"It's really good to see you too, Mrs Weasley."

"What have I told you about calling me Molly!"

Harry laughed as Arthur patted him on the shoulder as his wife finally pulled away from the green eyed boy. She looked over his shoulder, her smile growing wider as she saw Liv and Juno in the car, staring at the house in awe alongside three people she didn't recognise.

"Olivia! Juno! Oh, my dears I'm so glad you're here. Thank you so much for what you did for Harry." She cried, engulfing the girls in comforting hugs when they opened the doors to greet her.

"He would've done the same for us, we didn't consider leaving him there for a second."

"The boys are going to be so excited you're here! They're out the back, Lee should be with them."
