“We’ve passed!” Ron exclaimed excitedly as he and Harry came rushing into the sitting room of the Burrow, where Ginny, Hermione, and Mr. and Mrs. Weasley had been waiting for them to return. After Harry and Ginny’s lunch date Harry had met up with Ron and went to the Ministry to take their apparition test.
“Oh that’s great Ron, we knew you both would do well,” Hermione smiled giving Ron a hug and a kiss. Ginny gave Harry a happy smile and a hug as well.
Mrs. Weasley who had been watching her famous clock sighed softly and advised everyone, “Well Harry you all just about missed your dinner with Kreacher, its almost six now.”
“Oh that reminds me, it’s just going to be the five of us joining you Harry as everyone else had already had plans for this evening. I hope that is alright.” Mr. Weasley advised.
“That should be okay Mr. Weasley,” Harry responded, then remembering his packages that he had shrunk earlier he continued, “I will be right back I need to put something in Ron’s room.”
Everyone looked at each other with raised eyebrows as Harry ran empty handed up the stairs with a big smile. Harry quickly deposited the two brooms and new gloves in his trunk which he secured with a common locking charm. Excitedly he ran back down the stairs noticing that everyone was looking at him as if he had gone crazy.
“What was that all about mate?” Ron asked curiously.
Harry was thinking of how could get out of telling Ron what he had been up to without tipping Ginny off. Harry had just decided to ignore the question when with a soft pop Kreacher appeared before them.
“Master Harry dinner is ready sir. If you and your guests are ready to join Kreacher that is.” Kreacher stated with a deep bow.
Harry noticed that Kreacher once again had a twinkle in his eye and a genuine smile plastered on his old face, “Excellent Kreacher we are ready.”
“Ok Master, if you all would join hands please,” Kreacher said taking Harry’s hand. He waited until everyone had join hands and then with a loud pop he apparated them to the front courtyard in front of Number 12, Grimmauld Place.
Harry looked curiously at Kreacher who had begun to walk towards the house. He asked, “Kreacher is dinner here tonight?”
“Yes Master,” Replied Kreacher as he reached the front door and then turning to Harry who had followed behind him he opened the door and then bowed deeply, “Welcome Master Harry to the House of Potter, the most brave and loyal of all wizarding families.”
Harry looked in through the door way in utter surprise. The once dark and gloomy house had been transfigured into a bright and welcoming home. As Harry walked in the front door speechless and his mouth gaping open, he noticed that every dark or creeping item that had once inhabited a place was no longer there, especially the portrait of Mrs. Black.
Ron exclaimed, “Bloody hell, this place looks great!”
“Wow Kreacher this place looks wonderful, what did you do to it?” Hermione exclaimed.
“Kreacher cleaned Master Harry’s home Miss Granger,” Kreacher stated happily beaming at each of their amazed faces. Kreacher then turned to Harry who was still glancing around the home opened mouthed. “Is Master pleased?”
“Kreacher it’s amazing, yes I am pleased.” Harry smiled at Kreacher. “Why did you do this Kreacher? Did you do it by yourself?”
Kreacher laughed a little, “Kreacher is pleased that Master approves, and no I didn’t do it alone Master. Kreacher had help he did.” Kreacher was teary eyed and visually pleased that Harry approved what he had done. “Kreacher did this for Master cause Master needs a home this is Master’s home and may the loyal house of Potter always feel at home here sir.”
