It was around an hour later when Sirius came back down now scrubbed clean and in a fresh set of clothes. Once Remus was ready to leave we apparated back to the burrow. The smell of fresh bread and chicken soup wafted out of the opened door. It smelled delicious.
I rushed through the door, happy to be back home. Although visiting Moony's house was fun, it had been a long day.
"Come meet everyone Uncle Padfoot," I called behind me almost running into little Ginny who had her hair done in cute little Dutch braids. I smiled knowing she had Fred put them in for her. It reminded me when baby Harry would tug gently at my hair then look up at me in awe as it changed colours.
The Weasley's were all in the livongroom, minus Percy since he hardly ever came out of his room. And Bill and Charlie were already back at their jobs which as you know required them to be away alot.
Sirius came in after me, leaving Remus to bring up the rear. The man seemed shy and a tad jumpy. Just as I was when I first came here, although nobody could blame him. As the man did just get out of prison after 10 years.
Molly pulled him into a bear hug, apologizing frantically for believing he killed those people. The man was stunned at first, but after a few seconds he returned the hug. Happy to be free at least. It must feel nice that people now know that he was wrongly accused, and it makes me wonder who else was wrongly imprisoned.
"Well Lynnie if we ever need help with legal troubles," Fred says sitting down on one side of me.
"We'll definitely ask you to be our lawyer," George concluded taking the other vacant spot next to me. The twins shared a laughed as I rolled my eyes.
"Is that your way of asking me to be your ticket for getting out of trouble with the professors when you get caught pranking the school?" I asked knowing already what their answer would be. Seeing as these two were so mischievous you'd think they were Loki in disguise.
"Precisely," they say wiggling their brows acting silly. But when were they not at this point. The only thing these two took seriously were their pranks, as well as placing bets on things. Making me think they'd make great businessmen one day.
While the children talked all the adults were discussing how things were going to be now things are shaping up.
"Shay is more than welcome to continue living here, I'd hate to take her away from her comfort place," Remus told Molly who smiled happily at the man.
"Oh but I'd hate keeping her from you guys especially since she just got you back," Molly states looking over at me, as I played wizard chess with Ron. He was wiping the game board with my pieces. I was terrible at the game.
"Nonsense she'd be allowed to stay with us whenever she pleases but this is her home. We're all her home, but this is the first home she's had in 11 years. We'd hate to take that from her," Sirius chimed in, finally feeling comfortable in the quaint home. The house just has the warm and inviting feeling to it. Which I loved.
"Oh well if it's alright with Remus then it's fine with us. The children have formed a lovely bond with her. I hope her reunion with Harry tomorrow goes well. She's been excited all week," Arthur added in a cheery voice.
Knowing just how much I wished to see my brother once more, and the small sense of fear that he didn't remember me. We all spent the evening together before Remus and Sirius had to leave, as we all had to get some sleep before the ride journey to Hogwarts tomorrow.
I couldn't wait to see the place dad talked so fondly of.

Despite all the nerves building up within me, I managed to sleep peacefully, knowing everything was packed. If something was forgotten then it could be mailed later on.
"I wish I could attend this year, we could've had lots of fun. I'm going to miss you," Ginny says as I got ready to leave, wearing some leggings and one of Fred's old jumpers.
He and George had given me all the ones they either out grew or didn't wear, which I was thankful for. Since I practically lived in jumpers due to my severe lack of natural body heat. However in the months of being free of a cold damp cell, I'd started adapting to the weather around me. So there were times within the summer where I was fine wearing shirts, blouses and the occasional tank top. But now that it was fall, I'd had trouble staying warm.
"Oh I'll miss you too Ginny, you're the closest Ill get to a little sister. Next year will be your time, and we'll do lots of fun things," I replied neatly placing my permission slip to Hogsmeade in a compartment where it wouldn't get lost.
"Hopefully we'll see eachother at Christmas," she says taking my hand as I picked up my bags. Leading us down to the lounge where everyone was waiting. After making sure we had everything, we all piled into their flying car. It had been altered with charms and what not to make it spacious enough for everything. And the journey to Kings Cross was about to begin.
I'm not sure how long it took, as I some how fell asleep during to ride. But that's alright plus I'd probably sleep again on the train. We finally arrived, quickly grabbing everything and began rushing through the muggles trying to make it to the platform on time. After all missing the train would suck.
Once making it to the barrier Percy ran through making me giggle as how unobservant muggles could be.
"Excuse me, could you tell me... How to... How to," a boy spoke gaining our attention. Turning around I saw him speaking to Molly, really nervous about everything.
"How to get onto the platform? Yes, not to worry dear it's Ron and Shaylynn's first time to Hogwarts as well. Now all you have to do is walk straight at the wall between platforms nine and ten. Best to do it at a run if you're nervous," Molly explained with a smile, to which the boy returned, preparing himself for the run.
He looked over at me, and all I could see was Dad with Mum's eyes. The messy raven coloured hair, crooked glasses. I gasped gently tugging on the twins sleeves to gain their attention. I looked up as they gazed down at me, looks of concern on their faces.
"What's wrong Shay?" George asked hoping nothing serious was wrong.
"It him guys, it's Harry," I replied looking back over at the boy as he ran past, disappearing through the barrier and entering the platform.
I had just seen my brother for the first time in 11 years.....
