Chapter 6: DID HE JUST BLOW HIMSELF UP!?
After we had all finished breakfast Mrs. Weasley made us all gather at the mantelpiece in the living room she had picked up a pot by the base of it and holds it in hand she turns to both me and Harry and smiles softly "Okie which one of you two want to go first?" she questions as I look inside the flowerpot at the bottom is a layer of very soft dust I look at my brother in confusion.
What is she wanting us to do with this?
"But they have never traveled by Floo powder before, Mum" Thankfully Ron comes to our rescue his Mum not realizing that neither me and Harry have travelled by Floo powder let alone heard of it before.
What on earth is Floo Powder?
"Oh, well, you go first, Ron. So that Harry and Willow can see how it's done. Yes in you go. That's it" Mrs. Weasley urges Ron to go first instead to show us how it's done he grabs a handful of the Floo powder from the flowerpot and steps into the mantle place he smiles towards us before lifting his hand up "Diagon Alley" he says loud and clear as he quickly brings his hand down and releases the Floo powder it hits the ground by where his feet lie. Within a blink of an eye, Ron had been engulfed by green flames disappearing and transforming into ash.
DID HE JUST BLOW HIMSELF UP!?
She wants us to do that too, What type of powder is that?
HE WAS EATEN BY GREEN FLAMES!
"You see? It's quite easy, dear. Don't be afraid. Come on, come on whose next" Mrs Weasley asks again.
Who's next is she having a laugh she basically allowed her son to burn and disintegrate and now she wants us to do the same.
If this is how it goes I've got to take matters into my own hands. I place a hand on my brother's back and give him a nudge forward "He will" Harry glares back at me as Mrs. Weasley basically shoves him into the mantle giving him no time to refuse, So long brother. "In you go. That's it. Mind your head. That's right. Now, take your Floo powder. That's it, very good" Mrs. Weasley smiles as she takes a step back as Harry holds onto his handful of the Floo powder looking quite nervous.
"Now, don't forget to speak very, very clearly" Mrs. Weasley emphasizes on clearly as Harry raises his hand he brings it down quickly "Diagonally" and with that, he throws the Floo powder at his feet and like Ronald that very loved boy my brother gets eaten by the green flames of death disappearing before my very eyes.
Whelp I'm the only Potter left now so that's great. I may be overdramatic in this but that green stuff is hella scary.
"The Idiot" I huff as I run my hand down my face, The bloody idiot said it wrong even with Ron's demonstration "What did he say, dear?" Mrs. Weasley questions as I look at where my brother was just standing "Diagonally" Mr. Weasley replies as Ginny and the twins try and hide their laughter. "I thought he did" Mrs Weasley replies unsure what to do.
I sigh shaking my head as I climb into the mantle ducking my head in the process "I'll go get him We will find you eventually, hopefully?" I smile as Mrs. Weasley shakes her head at this unforetold mishap she holds out the flower pot to which I reach in grabbing that soft dust I raise my hand up high "Bloody idiot" I mutter mainly to myself as I close my eyes getting nervous of this form of travel "Diagonally" I bring my hand down and let go of the Floo powder allowing myself to be engulfed in the bright green flames of hell, disappearing from the Weasleys eyes and leaving the safe haven of the Burrow.
I keep my eyes closed firmly shut as I feel my back connect with something hard and slide across what seems to be a wooden floor "Am I dead?" I question myself out loud as I peek open one eye to see my twin brother standing above me "Harry" I hug onto his leg for dear life as he just rolls his eyes at me. "I thought you were dead, the green flames, then I thought I was dead, but we aren't dead instead, we are here where is here?" I ramble questioning him in questions that he wouldn't even know the answers to, he offers me a hand to stand up in a way of trying to silence me "We aren't dead you idiot, to where we are however I have no clue".
Standing up onto my own two feet I take in the room we have been thrown into, A glass case nearby holds a withered hand on a cushion, a blood-stained pack of cards and a glass eye, evil-looking masks stare down at us from the walls an assortment of human bones lay upon the counter. "Maybe we are in hell".
I catch myself in the Mirror sitting by the glass case and huff, black soot covers my reflection head to toe I run my fingers through my hair the best I can and use the sleeve of my jumper to wipe off the soot from my face "I must be the most horrifying thing in here looking like that" I mumble as I catch Harry out of the corner of my eye going to touch the withered hand on the cushion. As soon as Harry's hand touched the wrinkled old skin it collapses itself around his wrist holding on tight he turned and looks to me startled an innocent smile appearing on his face "Lend us a hand".
I look between him and the hand he so carelessly touched and shake my head "Seems like you've already got an extra one don't think you need these ones too" I smirk as I wave my hands at him, he sighs in reply, and tries to pry his hand out of the predicament he has gotten himself in. Getting bored I head out of the shop onto the street i feel my body instantly tense up freezing in place noticing all the shady people lurking around. I don't remember Diagon Alley looking like this when we were with Hagrid last year if so it's definitely gone downhill.
Harry finally joins me outside and gives me a look "Thanks for your help" he mutters as we look one way down the alley then the other not sure which way to head "Anytime big bro" I try and smile as my nerves start to go on edge a scary old looking lady approaches us and puts a hand on my arm a firm grip she has as the other plays with my hair.
Shes touching me!
"your not lost are you?" she questions as I try and pull my arm out from her grip. Now that hand from inside looked more inviting than this one.
"No we are fine thank you" Harry is quick to pull me close to his chest as the lady lets go of my arm but still comes a bit too close for comfort "Are you sure me and my friends would be happy to help" just then I notice the three other people behind her as I just grip on to Harry. Now we really are in hell.
"Harry? Willow?... is that you" We both snap our heads in the direction we heard our names and I instantly relaxed "Oh Hagrid aren't you a sight for sore eyes" I grin as Harry pushes past the old lady blocking our way and pulls on my hand a tight grip he has as he drags me along behind him, speed walking to Hagrid our sweet heart giant.
"What were you two even doing there?" Hagrid questions as we follow him to god knows where now just hopefully somewhere safer than here "Harry mixed up his words on the Floo powder and I went after him stupidly" I mumble as I try and wipe the soot from my jumper "its dangerous down there, dark place, don't go there again you here me?" I nod in agreement as Harry mumbles a yes sir to Hagrid. I definitely won't be going back there anytime soon.
"If it is so dangerous Hagrid why were you there?" I question him he looks down at me a bit surprised by my question on his whereabouts "Oh urm me, oh well I was looking for some good old hard flesh eating slug repellent they are ruining all the schools cabbages".
I follow beside my brother and Hagrid as we finally make it onto Diagon Alley the safer one relieving the horrible tension I felt in my stomach, all of a sudden I'm jumped on and given a massive hug, smelling Hermione's perfume I know I wasn't being attacked by that old lady again so I instantly hugged back. He smiles as she pulls away and looks up at Hagrid and Harry "hello Hagrid, Harry".
"well, hello Hermione" Hagrid greets Hermione as she looks at my brothers face oddly I look back at him noticing all the soot and his broken glasses, how come I never noticed that before Hermione pulls out her wand shaking her head at my brother "What on earth did you do to your glasses... Oculus Reparo" instantly Harry's glasses fix themselves making it better for him to see.
"I still forgot that one" I huff mainly to myself as Hagrid just places a hand on my shoulder "You two are gonna be alright now ill better head off, ill leave you to it then".
"Oh, right thanks Hagrid for your help" I smile up at him he lightly pats my shoulder before walking off into the crowd only the top of is head to be seen. "Right come on, everyone has been so worried" She grabs my hand and pulls me along while Harry trails behind. "Come on!".
