The Prewett Girl

The Car Rescue

"Hey, Andrea, can I use your owl?" Ron asks, coming up to the twins and I.

"Sure, um, why not Errol? I mean, you can, but..." I ask.

"I think he's getting lost on his way to Harry's. He hasn't answered any of my letters."

"What?" The twins ask in unison.

"All summer?" I ask.

"Yeah. I haven't gotten a single reply." He says.

"He lives with his mother's sister, right?" I ask.

"Yeah, in Surrey." Ron says. I think things over before nodding.

"I remember one very heated conversation between my mother, Auntie Marls, and Aunts Lily and Dorcus. Aunt Lily wanted to invite her sister to her wedding but everyone else was against it. Apparently she's a magic hating cow-Auntie Marls words."

"And Harry's there?" George demands.

"And not answering anyone." Fred says.

"While living in a house that thinks having magic makes you a freak and needs to be cowered from." I continue.

"We can't let him stay there." The twins say in unison.

"Well, what do you propose?" I demand. No one speaks up. "We can't do magic outside of school yet."

"Well we can't do nothing!" Ron says.

"I'm not saying do nothing, Ronald, but we need to be smart about this." I say. He huffs and goes into the house.

"You have an idea." George accuses.

"Your dad does just so happen to have a flying car." I say and the twins' faces light up. "For the record, if you get caught, I took no part in this."

"Deal." They say in unison.

That night I hear the boys all 'sneaking' passed my room. I go to my window and watch as the three of them take Arthur's car out of the garage and begin to fly it out of sight.

"Good luck." I whisper to my room before going back to bed.

The next morning I wake up to screaming from Molly; I comically fall out of bed due to the jump scare.

"Do you know what happened?" Ginny asks, rushing into my room through our connecting bathroom.

"Your brothers are idiots." I grumble, getting up.

"I thought something new happened." She says and I laugh as she walks off. I slip on jeans, a navy shirt, and sneakers before going downstairs. When I get there Molly is still storming around. The twins shake their heads at me frantically. Of course Molly catches that and sees me.

"Good morning, Andrea, dear." She says.

"Morning, Aunt Molly. Um..." I ask, looking at Harry and faking confusion.

"Your cousins took it upon themselves to fly to Surrey and back last night in that car your uncle bought and charmed." She says and I chuckle.

"Nice." I say just to get a glare. "I mean, idiots."

"Stupid deal." George grumbles loud enough only the boys can hear. I wink at him while smirking.

"Mommy, have you seen my jumper?" Ginny asks, coming down the stairs.

"Yes, dear, it was on the cat." Molly says.

"Hello." Harry says politely. Ginny freezes and her eyes widen when she sees Harry. I watch in amusement. I laugh with my cousins-save Percy-when she bolts for the stairs.
