To change the future

Chamber of Secrets 5

The end of the summer vacation came too quickly for the twins liking. They looked forward to returning to Hogwarts, but the monthat the Burrow had been the happiest of their lives. It was difficult not tofeel jealous of Ron when they thought of the Dursleys and the sort ofwelcome they could expect next time he turned up on Privet Drive

"And wasn't that an eventful summer?" Jason says with a grin, both brothers remembering Marge flying into the sky the night they fled the house.

On their last evening, Mrs. Weasley conjured up a sumptuous dinnerthat included all of the twin's favorite things, ending with amouthwatering treacle pudding. Fred and George rounded off theevening with a display of Filibuster fireworks; they fiIled the kitchenwith red and blue stars that bounced from ceiling to wall for at leasthalf an hour. Then it was time for a last mug of hot chocolate andbed.It took a long while to get started next morning. They were up atdawn, but somehow they still seemed to have a great deal to do

Mrs. Weasley dashed about in a bad mood looking for spare socks andquills; people kept colliding on the stairs, half-dressed with bits of toastin their hands; and Mr. Weasley nearly broke his neck, tripping over astray chicken as he crossed the yard carrying Ginny's trunk to the car.

"I swear that chicken is out to get me." Arthur says to Molly who scoffs while Jason nods "I swear it gives me the evil eye every time I'm near it." Jason pauses for a second "You guys did check no other animals at your house were animagus right?" he asks nervously.

Ginny nods "First thing we did when we got back." she reassures him, while the Avengers were giving them weird looks "Third Book." is all Harry said when he saw them looking their way

Harry couldn't see how nine people, seven large trunks, three owls, and arat were going to fit into one small Ford Anglia. He had reckoned, ofcourse, without the special features that Mr. Weasley had added."Not a word to Molly," he whispered to Harry as he opened the. trunkand showed him how it had been magically expanded so that theluggage fitted easily.

"Arthur Weasley!"

Harry sent Arthur an apologetic look, which he waved away

When at last they were all in the car, Mrs. Weasley glanced into theback seat, where Harry, Jason, Ron, Fred, George, and Percy were all sittingcomfortably side by side, and said, "Muggles do know more than wegive them credit for, don't they?" She and Ginny got into the front seat,which had been stretched so that it resembled a park bench. "I mean,you'd never know it was this roomy from the outside, would you?"

"No offence." Molly says when she notices several eyebrows raised in her direction.

Mr. Weasley started up the engine and they trundled out of the yard,Harry turning back for a last look at the house. He barely had time towonder when he'd see it again when they were back George hadforgotten his box of Filibuster fireworks. Five minutes after that, theyskidded to a halt in the yard so that Fred could run in for hisbroomstick. They had almost reached the highway when Ginnyshrieked that she'd left her diary. By the time she had clambered backinto the car, they were running very late, and tempers were runninghigh

Ginny groans, if only she had left that stupid book, nothing bad would have happened that year

Mr. Weasley glanced at his watch and then at his wife."Molly, dear -""No, Arthur -""No one would see - this little button here is an Invisibility Booster Iinstalled - that'd get us up in the air - then we fly above the clouds.We'd be there in ten minutes and no one would be any the wiser -" 

All the Professors, Molly, Percy and Remus turned and gave Ron, Harry and Jason looks that Toni and Bruce both noticed. Harry looked abashed, Ron was red in the face and Jason? He was looking at the ceiling with a grin, remembering flying in the car.
