Published May 23, 2015

Hermione, Ginny and I grabbed our trunks and pulled them into the living room where Mr and Mrs Grnager were watching television It was some old show. Wait, I thought. It was probaly some new show to them. I watched it for a moment. I never watched TV so I couldn't place the show.

I looked around the room, Dumbledore wan't here yet, and is was weird for him to be late. He was supposed to be here a minute ago...

"You girls all ready?" Mr Granger asked.

"Yep," said Hermione.

"Well, it has been great having you-" but Mr Granger was cut off, the door was just rapped upon. He went straight to the door, fixed his hair and opened the door, Albus Dumbledore was standing there with his long white beard shinning in the sunlight.

"Hello, I am here to pick up Ginny Weasley, Hermione Granger and Lily Potter," Dumbledore said," and bring them to the the Burrow."

"Yes, Dumbledore," Mr Granger said, sticking out his hand for Dumbledore to shake. Dumbledore looked very odd, he was wearing his traveling cloak which was a bright plum color. "Would you like to come in-?"

"No, that won't be needed, I am on a very tight schedule and can not spare the time to visit, I am sad to say," said Dumbledore. "The girls can just come out and I will transport them to the Burrow."

"Yes, yes of course," said Mr Granger. He looked a little thrown off that Dumbledore would not be entering, but shook it off. "Girls, get your trunks.."

I slyly pointed my wand at my trunk and thought hard the spell to make it lighter. I grabbed the handle and tugged, I could have easily picked it up above my head, if I wanted to. I lightly pulled at the handle and picked up Riley's carrier and walked out side into the sun. I glanced at Dumbledore's hand to see if it was black and burnt, but I could not see it as it was hidden by his traveling cloak's sleeves.

I looked over at The Grangers, who were busy hugging Hermione to death. "Mum," Hermione said when their hug reached 20+ seconds.

"I know, I know," she said. "You are just growing up so fast!" Mrs Granger let go of her daughter and hermione grabbed her trunk and her cat carrier and struggled outside.

"Bye, Mr and Mrs Granger," I said. "Thanks for letting us stay with you!"

"Any time, dear," said Mrs Granger. "You are always welcome here."

"Thanks," said Ginny. Mr Granger waved one last time and then closed the door. I turned to Dumbledore.

"How are we getting to the Burrow?" I asked.

"We are going to use the Apparation, but since there are now special enchantments put around the Burrow, we can only go as far as 3 miles away."

"That's.. That's in the middle of the farm land bye the house," said Ginny, her brain calculating. "A little outside of the town..."

"Correct," said Dumbledore. "Percy Weasley and the Twins plan on picking you in the town and driving you the rest of the way," he added.

"Okay," said Hermione.

"Percy is at the Burrow?" asked Ginny, her nose crinkling.

"Yes, so is Bill, but he is at work and Charlie is out of town," said Dumbledore. "Percy decided to stay with your mother for a while..."

"Oh," said Ginny distastefully.

"No need to worry about your trunks," said Dumbledore and our trunks and cat carriers disappeared. "They are waiting for you at the Burrow."
